GOES TO GOVERNOR
BOTH HOUSES HAVE AGREED TO
TAX FRANCHISES.
BY A CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
THE MEASURE, AS AMENDED, WAS
CONSIDERED.


Respect to the Amendment Re-
garding municipalities Receiving
Occupation Fees-This Objection
able Section Was Stricken Out, the
Senate Agreeing TO Recede From
Its Position.
tax bill was perfected tonight. The
bill came to the House this
morning, and that body promptly re-
fused to agree to the Senate amend
ments. This action was, however,
merely for the purpose of having the
matter go to a conference committee
for explanation, the Senate amend
ments being considerably involved.
Speaker Morris appointed Messrs.
Gambler of DeKalb, Akin of Barlow,
and Reid of Campbell, while President
Howell appointed Senator's Davis of
the Seventeenth District, Perry of the
Thirty-third District and Shelton of the
Thirty-first District.
The Conference Committee took the
matter under consideration shortly
after dinner The Senate amendments
were satisfactorily explained, and no
objection was made to any amendment,
with the exception of Section 10, the
new section which provided that where
street car companies now pay an oc-
cupation tax or a percentage of gross
receipts to municipalities, the amount
so paid shall be deducted from the
amount paid as franchise tax under
the bill.
There was some impression that
this section would make the bill
unconstitutional on the ground of class
legislation, but the committee finally
came to the conclusion it would have
no such effect. The amendment was
changed however, so that the amount
received as franchise tax under the bill
would be subtracted from the amounts
paid cities as occupation tax or per-
centages of gross receipts. the effect
of the amendment simply being re-
versed.
The House refused to agree to Sec
ton 10, even after 1t was amended At
10:45 tonight, the Senate, after brief
debate, receded from the objectionable
amendment and Section 10 was strick-
en-. In this shape the franchise tax act
was agreed to by both bodies. and is
now ready for the Governors sigma
ture.

THE FIRST TEACHERS INSTITUTE
AN HISTORIC AFFAIR OF MORE THAN
HALF CENTURY SINCE.

Hiram A. Ellis, Esq, the veteran rail
road postal clerk on Conductor Nahum
Moore's train on the p. and X. +. line,
gives us an item regarding the first
teachers institute held in Oxford
County, in lS47, which may interest the
older readers of the Democrat.
The sessions were held in the Baptist
church at Paris Hill. Prof. w. b.
Fowle, of Boston, was the principal,
and Hon. Z. NJ. Thurston of Charleston,
associate. Judge Emery of Paris was in
charge as member of the Board of Edu-
cation for New England. Attendance,
S4 females, 81 males: total 165. Bethel
furnished s, Buckfield IS, Denmark 6,
Hebron 5, Norway 1, Paris 81, Turner
rs. Some other towns sent small
delegation.
Among prominent teachers and public
men afterward holding important posi-
tions in life, whom Mr.. Ellis especially
remembers as members were, Sidney
Perham who acted as secretary of the
institute, VIM. w. Virgin, D. P. Stowell,
w. II. vinton, K. n. Prince, Rufus
Prince, Leonard SWEET, Horace True,
Francis Cushing, BENZ. r. Bradford,
Philip c. Jones, B. F. Kendall, A. p.
Bonney.
Certainly the interest in this institute
was good, as evinced by the large at
tendance, and many of the attendants
became we'll known and quite dis
tinguished men, whose names are IA
miliar to older residents of the county.
In brief interview with Mr.. Ellis the
writer obtained much interesting matter
some of which may be furnished the
Democrat later on. SLoCUM.
