VALIDITY OF REVENUE BILL
Doubted by Reason of Irregularity OF
its Passage I'm the senate-Base Ball
Games Forecasted by CIairvoyant for
Raleighites-The Text Book Debate.
Messenger Bureau.

Raleigh, n. G., May s.
The statement comes from leading
lawyers at Wilmington that the reve-
nue. act of 1901 passed only one reading
in the senate, and is hence invalid.
Lieutenant Governor w. D. Turner,
president of the senate, who said: 1T
is a fact. 1 called attention to the mat
ter at the time. Here are the facts in
the case. In the senate the bill passed
its second and third readings by an
aye and no vote, after the second read
ing 43 amendments having been put On.
The bill as amended went back to the
house for concurrence. The house de-
clined to concur. A committee of con-
ference was appointed. This recon-
mended that the house concur in thir-
ty-Six of the senate amendments and
that the senate receded from seven.
The report was adopted. My view was
that the amendments were so material
as to make it necessary that they
should pass their readings by an aye
and no vote on three separate days.
called the attention of a senator to this
1t was next to the last day. Members
were anxious to get away. So nothing
was done. The questions involved are
two in number: OWhether the
amendments were such material altera-
tions as to make it necessary for them
to pass their several readings, by aye
and no votes, on different days (2)
Whether the bill will stand as it passed
the house, thus leaving out all the
senate amendments, or whether it will
stand as ratified. If it stands as it
passed the house, thus leaving out all
the senate amendments, or whether it
will stand as ratified. If it stands as
passed the house, then the taxes will
be much higher, as the senate amend
ments were conservative. So what has
the public to gain by fighting it as rat
lfied? In my opinion the failure to
properly adopt the senate amendments
if there was failure under the provis-
ions of the constitution Chat is if the
amendments were such material
changes, as to make the three votings
necessary does not destroy the whole
bill. This is my private view. 1t will
be contended no doubt, that the amend
ments were not such alterations as to
require aye and no votes on different
days. What will the public gain by
making the point on the other side?''
Persons coming in on the trains re-
port good rains and immense benefit

San Juan de Porto Rico, March s.
A serious lot took place here yester-
day. Five a, til'erymen in the even.

companied by corporal named His
cock, and charged across the plaza into
the street in which mob OF people
had assembled. The soldiers fired a
volley in the air and dispersed the
mo-.
They rescued School Superintend-
ent Arms, rong who was besieged by
the mob in house about block from
the City Crnter. An hour previous
to the rescnc HE city had been over
run by a rio'ou crowd of probably
1900, who were shouting "Down with
Americans and similar cries.
The excitement originated over a

CORINTH.

The annual March meeting passed
off Without any serious trouble, with
j P. Sargent as moderator. He was
elected by ballot and tillvd the place
acceptably to all. The old board If
officers were reelected with but few
exec ptions. George Worthley was
elt cIed road commissioner on the sec.
ond ballot and was instructed by vote
Of the town to meet with the select
men and divide the town into dis.
tIict. and appoint an agent in each to
look after the rods In their respec.
tive districts. This was suggested
by G. l. Spear and seemed to meet
the approval of nearly all present, and
it is hoped the new commissioner
will act according to INSTRUCT ms.
The meeting was interspersed with
remarks and suggestions by John
Chapman, E. B. Sawyer, i. K Taplln
Albert Flanders and Herbert
Wilson. The attendance was the
smallest, with one exception, for
many years. John M. Scribner, who
has been an efficient town officer for
MANY years, relires with honor.
Charles Washburn succeeds him as
third selectman. w. e. Kenniston
was elected to fill the vacancy 10 the
school board caused by the resigna-
ton and removal of E. L. Still. S. |.
Divoll was re elected school director
for three years. Lyme says it is a
good democratic board and cannot
help doing good work. There was
the usual scramble for the office OF
fence viewers, and several prominent
and portly citizens we're remembered.
The attendance from the east part Of
the town was especially light, there
being but seven voters from East
Corinth school district, over forty
staying at home for various reasons;
some on account of sickness, others
on account of being disgusted with
the wy that the affairs OF the town
are managed and others for reasons
best known to themselves. 1t Is very
evident to all that the present high
way and school law is a drawback to
the old town of Corinth, and with the
best possible management taxes will
be high as long as those laws are in
force.
