THE CORPORATION LAW.
AT eleven O'Clock the bill amending
The Corporation Law so as to give any
corporation the right to own stock Of
another corporation, was laid before the
House as the special order.
Judge Graham vigorously opposed the
bill, saying there was a tendency to en-

was very dangerous, and this bill seem

to be entitled, instead Of a bill amend
ing the Corporation Law, a bill to allow
the organization of trusts to swallow up
small corporations. He would taken
pleasure in voting against this bill.
Mr.. Guion said the bill had been care
fully considered in the Judiciary Com

object of this bill, accordingly, is merely
to give the State of North Carolina an
equal advantage with the State of New
Jersey.
AS to trusts, there was no man more
opposed to them than he was; but it was
not by buying stock of other corpora

buying up the franchises and property
of other corporations. There was no
need for alarm at this bill. It was moth
