Connor on Impeachment.

Judge Connor last night furnished the
News and Observer the following state
ment OF his position on the impeachment
question:
Judge Connor said that the words
censure or reprimand was no. used by
him in connection with the impeachment
of the judges. That neither of these words
were appropriate TO be used by one de-
partment of the government towards an
other That he thought IL entirely proper
when in the judgment of one OF the co-or-
dinate departments of the government,
another had trespassed upon its domain
or disturbed the constitutional balance
to say so in respectful but unmistakable
terms. That this was not as 4 rebuke or
repriinand, but calling the attention OF
the citizens TO the danger OF permitting
the integrity of their constitutional gov
elnment TO be attacked. That this
course was warranted BY precedent and
entirely consistent with a due regard for
the relative rights OF those dischargins
duties pertaining to the several depart
ments He regretted that the use Of these
words had been ascribed TO him. His
remarks had been made in the committee
room, 10 which the reporters mad not

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
Major Graham and Others Appear Before Joint
Committee.

The joint committee of Agriculture
met IN the Senate chamber last after
noon. Senator Burroughs presiding,
and heard the reports of the Agricu
tural Department. Maj. w. A. Graham,
of the Agricultural Board, save the
committee an oral statement of the
work accomplished in the past two
years and the balance sheet Major
Graham and Col. Jno. s. Cunningham,
president of the board both stated that
the reports of the department, includ-
ing the State chemist, the curator of
the museum and the commissioner of
immigration, are now in the hands of
the printer and viii be distributed
among the members of the General AS
sembly.
Major Graham made very full re-
pert of the work and then explained
a bill, which has been prepared by a
special committee of the Agricultural
Board, to amend the laws now govern
ing the department. The bill was left
in the hands of the legislative COM
mittee. rhe tax on commercial fertiliz-
ers remains at 20 cents per ton and fer
tilizers found not tagged are to be seiz-
ed by the State and sold at public auc-
tion, just as the government does whis-
key.
The law now requires per cent.
phosphoric acid and declares that fer
dlizer without this is illegal, but the
new bill suggests half dozen different
formula. since eastern soils do not
need phosphoric acid and for years fer
tilizers really illegal have been used
there. In the matter of fertilizers not
up to the legal guarantee, the bill pro-
vides for a rebate of double the value
of the deficiency. 1t also provides that
all fertilizers in which there is leather,
hoof meal and hair shall be confiscated
and no pay can be collected for it from
buyers. The board also asks the Leg
islature TO SO amend the laws regarding
insect pests as to make its violation q
mlsdemeanor as in the case of violation
of cattle regulations.
DR.. w. l.. I<ilgore, State chemist, ex-
planned the work done surveying soils
