The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1905-02-07

i 90 UeIOIc the proper cOmm1LLce. he
said investigation eve hurts a good
bill and lie 1t was a proper one it would
not be hurt and a few days delay
would work it no injury. He asked
what was the use of such a committee
if it were not referred to the proper
committee. Mr.. Mclean asked il the
substitute from the House would not
be considered by the appropriation
committee if 1t were re-referred. Mr..
| Scales replied that this would be done.
| Mr.. Mclean withdrew his original bill
| n by his consent the substitute from
the House was referred to the COM
mittee on appropriations.
THE LACY BILL.
The House resolution on the Lacy
bill, the special order for yesterday,
was then taken UP. Mr.. Farnabee
said he earnestly hoped the resolu-
| ton would pass. He was absent when
the bill was originally voted upon and
had he been here he would have
raised his voice against ii. 1t was a
| most dangerous act. Mr.. Worth lost
$4,000 by the same man Martin, In
old age, had been treasurer for two
terms, and finding he had lost $4,000
By another's dishonesty he had to go
into bankruptcy. The bill does not
give Mr.. Worth one cent, but Mr..
Lacy $500, who is in the same con-
dition, no better than Mr.. Worth. We
should not give Mr.. Lacy $500. I lave
spoken to some of the most prominent
Democrats in the State n with but
one exception, they have all said the
action Of the Senate and House was a
most dangerous one. MI. Boddie
moved to table the bill. Ayes and
hayes were called for, 10 Senator'S |

the negative. and the bill was tabled. |
On motion of Senator Zollicoffer the |
