THE LAST DAYS DEBATE
On the Impeachment ResoIution-The
Proposed Public Road Law-The
Double Tax on Factories.
Messenger Bureau.

Raleigh. n. c.. February IL.
This legislature will not make any
bond issue, despite all the varied ef-
forts to induce IL TO do so. II will not
erect any new counties. The bill TO
erect a county to be named Simmons.
in honor of the democratic state chair
man. is nearly a compliment
There is already talk OF an extra ses-
sion of the legislature. The revenue
act is not yet introduced. Two years
ago il required Is days to dispose OF
this. This was the thirty-eighth day
of the session, and but twenty-five re-
main, unless members stay overtime.
without pay.
This morning the joint committee on
soldiers home and pensions met and
heard arguments for an increase of the
annual appropriations from SIC. 600 to
$40, 900, and OF $1,000 for buildings. The
chairman of the committee said the
matter would not be disposed Of until
Tuesday, but that h majority OF the
committee opposed any increase. on the
ground that a bill, ~favorably reported.

insurance Commissioner Young says
the insurance bills now before the leg
islature will make the law clear. and
increase receipts about 81, 900 annually
He says he expects that the repeal OF
the act requiring insurance companies
to "domesticate" themselves will bring
about fifteen companies, life and fire,
to the state, which left Ii in 1899. This
will mean an increase of some 1 1000
in receipts. Some companies have al
ready applied for readmission.
There are not very many dispensary
bills before the legislature-about eight.
Nashville and Tarboro will get dispen-
saries. Sampson county will get prohi-
bition. 1t is said one-fourth Of the
counties in he state now have prohi-
bition.
There is a bill before the legislature
designed to forbid the payment to DR..
D. II. Abbott, Republican, corporation
commissioner any salary. The gov
ernor two years g endeavored to
GUST him. The supreme court said he
was entitled to his office even though
the railway commission to which he
was duly elected had ceased to exist,
the corporation commission having
taken it's place.

bearish. The market is still in con-

supply. Cash sales were 5000 bushels to
millers. and the seaboard reports y loads

Corn was lower. There was general
selling at the opening. and later promi-
nent bear interest sold moderately. Com
mission houses absorbed these offerings.
which brought about a slight reaction
near the close. Country acceptances were
small. Cash sales 5000 bushels. Today's

Oats were dull and featureless. There
was fair demand for CARROTS at un-
changed prices. Today's receipts were 81
cars, with 100 for Wednesday.

ing about the same as yesterday The in
huence was light hog receipts and a 8
cent advance in that market, which was
offset by liberal offerings from the recent
bull leaders. The cash trade was fair.
