CODE REVISION,
Then General Davidson's bill to revise
| Tho Code of North Carolina was laii
| before the House.
General Davidson explained the neccs-
| sitv for a revision. 1t had been twenty
| wears since the laws had been revised.
| The first was in 1715. the next in 1746;
then in 1916 1903 1920 1888, 1925, 1912,
and 1888. The period since the last re
vision was the longest period with one
exception that had elapsed between re-
/ visions,
| During this period of twenty years
| there had been very great changes in
public policy and private laws, greater
| than at any other time since the days
! Immediately following the Revolution.
| For instance. our whole system Of taxa
| ton had been changed
! He said the whole thing could be pub
| lishcd in one volume, to contain all the
principal statutes.
| AS 10 the commissioners, General
Davidson said he had at first favored
| their appointment by the Governor, but
upon investigation had found that it was
| the precedent for the Legislature to Sc
! lect The commissioners, and there had
never been less than three.
| AS TO the cost. he had ascertained that
! il could be published for from $4,000 to
/ SIG 600 But in order to come entirely
| within the amount. the committee bod
decided to give the cost IS $4,000. But
| The sale Of the books would reduce the
! cost to $4,000.
| The Commissioners were to be paid
! 81 900 year. beginning on May 1st, 1903,
and continuing n year and a half. 1t
! had been thought best to allow $1,000
| for clerical service, instead of employing
| clerk at stated salary as it was
often necessary. TO employ different kinds
| Of clerical service.
Mr.. Cav proposed to amend that the
commissioners should cite the decisions
of the Supreme Court on each section.
Judge Graham said the committee had
! found that this plan had not been pur-
! sued in the majority of the States. 1t
would be Of little use to the average
magistrate and the lawyers knew where
to find them. 1t would add at least one
| third to the cost of the revision

MR.. LUCAS.

Mr.. Lucas, of Hyde, then made another
of his speeches that carried the audi
ence with him in enthusiasm. He began
by saying that he was a country mar
himself a farmer, and he was sick and
tired, and he might even say disguised
by all this stuff and nonsense that was
being talked about the country people
They were not as big fools as they
were given the credit of being. They
knew what they wanted.
The country people want us, he said
to settl@this matter in this Legislature
without their having any hand in it
He would give $500 for every country
man that could be brought up here and
said that he wanted to be given a vote
on it.
The people that want to vote on it are
The fellows that run the little stills,
Mr. Smith asked if Mr.. Lucas favored
the part of the bill allowing the towns to
vote.
Mr. Lucas said he did. He thought
the towns should be allowed to vote
But he didn't want those rum suckers tC
have a whack at it.
He was in favor of the Legislature
taking this matter into our hands ant
showing that We are able to represent
the people of North Carolina applause
Mr.. Morton: You took the stump
against the Constitutional Amendment K
disfranchise the negroes"
Mr. Lucas: You are greatly mistaken
when you say | took the stump against
DISTINGUISHING the negro because it was
the negro. In 1898 ! took the stuml
for Democracy At that time the Re
publicans charged that we were trying
to disfranchise the negroes and the pooi
whites"
Mr.. Morton: Yes, and now this House
is trying to disfranchlse the country
people,
Mr.. Lucas. Il promised the voters in
1898 that the Democratic party would
not do that with which they were charg-
ed But then the Legislature after that
did the very thing that / promised would
not be done Therefore l did not sup
port it in this House, and 1 took tho
stump, telling the people I could moi
support the measure. They understood
ne and said l was right and elected me
to this House by the biggest majority
ever given TO mortal man in the county
of Hyde" (Applause)
linen Mr.. Lucas was telling or the
unanimity of the country people for pro-
hibition, when Mr.. Smith asked him why
he objected to leaving it to vote, if
the people would pass it anyhow.
Mr. Lucas said that would cause toe
much confusion, as one county would
vote for it, another against it, and sc
en-. He asked Mir. Smith what good chat
would do.
Mr.. Smith said it would be decided
then by the sovereign people, according
&c the great principle of the party.
Mr.. Lucas: You want the rum suck
crs to have a whack at it, and it is
from fear Of them that you are taking
the stand you are You are a prohi-
bitionist at heart | know you"
Mr.. Smith declared emphatically that
no fear had ever actuated him in any
vote he had ever cast.
Mr.. Morton referred to Mr.. Lucas s
offer of $500 for every man from the
country who would come up here and
say he wanted vote on the matter. and
said that $1,000, would be too little for
the people in his county
Mr.. Lucas: i could buy them whiskey

MIR. BULLARD.

Mr. Billiard, of Cumberland, then
spoke of the Cumberland question, de
cIaring that prohibition was thrust upo1
the people of that county without their
consent by this Legislature. He dwelt
upon the great increase of real estate
values there during the last year. Crime
had decreased. The money saved in its
way amounted to more than all the
money received from the whiskey tEaf-
fc.
Mr. Morton said that the records OIL
the Federal Courts showed fifty-ffve cases
of blockade stills and blind tigers in
Cumberland county since prohibition had
been established, and in the six prohibi-
ton counties in the district the total
number Of cases of this kind was 546.
Mr.. Billiard replied that there were
more cases of blockading before the law
was passed than since
Mr.. Morton asked if Mr. Billiard knew
that the Treasurer's report showed that
Cumberland county was ST, 933.50 behind
hand.
Mr.. Bullard asked if Mr.. Morton had
the fieures for the year previous to the
passing of the law
Mr. Morton said he had not.
Mr. Billiard declared that whenever
Mr.. Morton should bring in those figures
there would be balance on the side OF
prohibition.

Mr.. Smith then continued his remarks
of the previous night in support of his

country people as well as the town peo-
pie to vote on the subject. He plead
powerfully with the House, and declared
that it would be lasting disgrace to
deny this franchise to the honest in
telligent people of the country, after all
fear Of negro domination was past.

The citizens OF the La Sal mining

rather enjoy the sensation; while IN
the older camps Of the state, mill con-

The La sal country has great possi-

The people OF the La Sal mining re-

done to develop its mineral resources,
