TYRRELL FIGHT REVERSED.
Senate Bill, to allow the County Com
missioners Of Tyrrell to issue bonds and
levy special tax.
This bill again aroused the fighting
blood Of the members from washington
and Tyrrell.
Mr.. Blount sent forward an amend
ment to strike out the amendment pass
ed the other day on the second reading
OF this bill, to submit the question to a
vote of the people. Mr.. Blount then
went on to make a speech for Senator
Spruilfs bill, on the ground that tho
Spruills had the best interests of the
county at heart, having lived there for
many generations, and almost owned the
town of Columbia. Moreover, several
other counties were interested in the
preservation of the records by a we'll
built court house Mr.. Blount also said
he had heard from many of the citi-
tens, who we're asking for the new
court house
DR.. Alexander, of Tyrrell said ne did
not blame Mr. Blount for wishing to
represent the county of Tyrrell; for
Washington was grand-child of Tyrrell.
AS for the Spruill family he was half
Spruill himself, and the gentleman from
Washington could not gainsay it. More
ever he had fought and bled for 7e South
| in the Civil War. could the gentleman
from Washington say as much?
But the gentleman from Washington
had treated him unfairly in trying to
represent Tyrrell.
AS matter of fact, the people wanted
to vote on the question
Mr.. Smith then got into the fight, and
| spoke on the political side Of the matter.
| He showed that the Democrats of Tyr
rell wanted the new court house nd
that the House ought not to go back on
the Democratic Senator and support the
| Republican Representative 1t would
| give him undue influence in the county.
| The county commissioners had been twice
presented before the grand jury for not
| building a better court house.
The fact that the gentleman from
Tyrrell was half spruill spoke very well
Z for i'm lint in ho oh pF
| his politics. he was in the nature OF a
! degenerate along party lines
| Dr. Alexander responded warmly, say
ing that Senator spruill and he each had
| q right to his own political opinions If
he was such degenerate in politics, he
did not see how it was that the Demo-
! stead of his Democratic competitor
| Mr. Blount's amendment was then put
| and adopted by a vote of IS to %.
The bill then passed its third reading
| by party vote.
