Capt. w. W. Carraway is always inter !
| esting, standing always "in the solitude Oh
| MS own originality" In the House yes
terdaY he rose to a question of personal
privilege and said:
| Mr.. Speaker: 1t is with tears IN my
eyes. that | rise to point of personal
privilege. The press of this city quote me
as saying in substance as follows THAT /
Governor Caswell was among the deserV-
| ing and should be honored in preference
| to a dead Indian" | have tears IN my
| eyes for my friends OF the press, for
| love them. and We're it not for the fact
that my constituents might perhaps think (
| THAT had been associating here AT the |
Capitol with Col. p. Whiskey or MAJOR
Apple Brandy, or that | was a fit subject
| for DR.. kirbys Central Hospital, | would
not have anything to say But it is
well known fact that through the efforts
of that grand North Carolina Democrat,
| Governor Jarvis very handsome monu
ment costing twenty-five hundred dollars
was erected years ago in honor of Gov
ernor Caswell in the town of Kinston.
| and history will bear me out in this state
ment, as / had the honor, Mr.. Speaker, to
|
casion.
Mr.. Speaker and Gentlemen: Here is
what | said in substance, II have the
profoundest respect for that magnificent
barbarian Junaluskee, who fought for
American liberties. he is resting in the
happy hunting ground, monumented by
the eternal crags of Gods own creation,
| but sir. | maintain that there are mag
/ ncCnt w n haV
ments North Carolina, sir, paused for
SO years before she placed a monument
to that great statesman and soldier who
served his country and his State for forty
years without pay. | allude to Governor
| Caswell There lies bleaching in the
grave in Warren county the bones of
| Nathaniel Macon. who has not a stone to
mark his resting place We have walk
| ing monuments of Southern chivalry and
| bravery in our midst / mean Confederate
soldiers who need our kind attention.
| Then, sir. Junaluskee can afford to wait
until We are able to monument him. /
am opposed to the bill.
The bill to expedite the printing of
the Regimental Histories and State Re
cords has become a law 1t provides
|
apart from the public printing, but OF
at a higher price and it must be let
to some printing establishment in this
State. The work is to be let by spe-
cial committee who are to require bond
for the completion of the work bv a
date named in the contract. The public
may therefore be assured of the early
publication of the works.
was talking yesterday with promi-
! nent manufacturer about our present fire
insurance laws. He said: IF the people
understood the present law, / am sure
they would desire to have the law amend
ed in some way so that the manufacturers
of the State may have the privilege of
insuring their own property among them
selves and jointly with manufacturers
| outside Of the State without paying
duoble taxes The present law is entirely
| favorable to the Insurance Trust. If we
| manufacturers are forced to insure our
| properties with the Southeastern Tariff
| Association It will cost us two per cent,
| whereas in the mutual companies it will
be less than one-half of one per cent.
| II this is required. the property holders
| Of the State will pay many times more to
large insurance companies outside this
State for their insurance than the State
will eyer receive in taxes. We pay taxes
on cur property in this State and why
should we be forced to pay additional
State taxes for the protection of our
| property and tribute TO the insurance
trust? If our insurance laws were so
amended, permitting Mutual Insurance in
the State, even on basis of two per cent
for the amount of net premium as has
been suggested. this will help us very
materially. and would be plenty of taxes
for the State to receive. Mutual In
surance Company such as / am speaking
about, is merely a number of manufac-
turers clubbing together and organizing
a company under some name and in
surfing only themselves
The Senate Committee on Propositions
and Grievances yesterday afternoon deci
dad unanimously TO report favorably the
bill by Senator Brown against the sale Of
cigarettes or cigarette paper to minors
Every member of the committee approved
the bill. However, Senator Mcneil said
it was not as strong even as he would
like it. He favored a heavier penalty and
wished the law was more stringent.
Among the visitors in the Senate cham

Pitt. and Morton of New Hanover, were
