| The work of the House of Repre.:en
tatives yesterday was almost entirely
of routine noture Several bills ere
| the charter Z. the town of ReidsT.l.e
which provides for an extension of ii {
corporate limits of that town. A reso-
luton was adopted directing the keeper
of the capitcl to unfurl the National
flag upon the dome of the capitol DUE
ing each day of the session of the Cfaa-
eraF Assembi!
! Mr.. Mclean, of Scotland, introduced
a bill providing that the States Prison
be empowere to manufacture fertili-
zers for agricultural purposes. This,
of course, ca ries with it the Sec1r %
of all necessary land, buildings and
machinery fer the purpose. The from-
er of the bill, in presenting it before the
House. said shat its importance to The
farmers of North Carolina was vital,
that probably no measure affecting
! them more directly would be introduc-
ed this session. The full text of this
bill will be found on another page of

Mr.. Daughtridge introduced a bill
| that is likely to cause a few ripples on
the serene surface of House affairs. 1t
provides for the grading of incorpora-
tion fees sc, ording to the amount of
capital stock named in the charter of a
corporation, instead of the fixed fee. A
I'VE Thousand dollar charter will cost
! twenty-five collars, and million dol
lar charter will call for fee of $3.50.
| The fees are graduated with the amount
of capital stock.

! tine of business was when Mr. Ebbs
Rep, of Madison, called for protection

| ed that he should have the full protec-
ton of the House while doing his duty
by the twelve hundred as good white
citizens as there are in North Carolina"
