A bill is to. be introduced by fep-
resentative e F.. Butler, of the
Lower House, a brother of ex-senator
Marion Butler, providing for the pay
ment by the state of the $1,000 of
Western North Carolina Railway
n on which the state of South
Dakota secured Judgment against
North Carolina from the United States
Supreme Court and paid for all other
such bonds held by Simon Schafer, of
New York, he having given the bonds
to South Dakota at the instance of
Senator Pettigrew, Marion Butler and
others in order to bring suit. The
Democrats in the House will fight the
bill of course.
The defence of Raymond D. Bynum.
the murderer of Jas. H. Afford, will
be insanity, though his lawyers had
a no conference with him. He is
in the Jail, which is quarantined on ac-
count Of smallpox, He was vaccinated
as soon as he was placed in Jail. He
is an utter physical wreck and seems
to be undergoing the torments of hell
itself. Few men have ever broken so
much in a fortnight.
The commissioners of this county
have granted the Raleigh and Dur
ham Electric Railway right of way
alongside public roads, if necessary.
though some persons have commended
such a privilege upon highways could

Much favor is shown the bill intro
duced by inc. s.. Cunningham, of Per
son, in the House today, for the statue
of Senator Matt Ransom, in the walk
north Of the Capitol, near the Agri-
cultural building.
