SESSION ENDED.
North Carolina Lawmakers Finish
Their Work and Adjourn,

NG&#
The sixty day limit of the legisla-
ture expired Saturday, but because
of much unfinished work the body
was forced to meet again Monday.
The investigating committee made
is report exonorating the conference
committee on the rate bill from the
charge OF being Influenced in fixing
the famous 60-mile limit.
A feature of the day was a red
hot speech by Speaker Justice, who
took the floor and denounced in bit
ter language the Senators and others
who had opposed his, amendment to
the antitrust bill. The Speaker, how
ever, later apoligized for his action.
Saturday a Busy Day.
Both branches of the general as
sembly had a busy day Saturday. The
conference committee could not agree
on the antitrust bill, and were dis
charged. Most Of the members were
restless and wanted to wind up the
business of the session and get home.
There were many bills ratified.
The bill regulating the investment
Of the reserve fund of i~nusrance com
panies doing business in North Caro-
lima, being reported ~unfavorably by
the committee, Mr.. Lockhart, its au-
thor, brought it up OF a minority re-
port.
A joint resolution that the general
assembly adjourned at II o'clock Mon
day, provoked much discussion. Mr..
Justice, from the floor, called atten-
ton of the house to the many very
important bills which had not been
passed. He said that unless the sen
ate moved faster than it was doing,
and this house passed a resolution to.
adjourn Monday, the probability was
that members would go home dis
credited by not having fulfilled their
pledges to the party and to the peo-
pie. Mr. Blount, and other members
spoke on the same line, declaring that
1t was the duty of the members to
stay here a month longer if it should
be necessary to carry out Democratic
pledges, or to enact laws necessary
for the good of the state.
Mf. Clifford, the introdueer Of the

south of Charlotte, Sunday night a
few minutes before 3 o'clock. J. T,

shut until he had consulted with his
attorneys. About 10 O'Clock he was
brought into the city and lodged in
the county jail.@ In the trial which
will follow the unwritten law will
likely be the plea of the defense.
The killing occurred in the 'Ebig

before g. o'clock. Stephenson had
hired a horse and buggy from Wads-
worth's early IN the morning and had
driven down to his old home near
Fort Mill, S. c., to visit relatives. He
called at the stable very early, be-
tween 6 and $50 o'clock. Mr. Sam

accommodate him until Mr.. A. n.

Stephenson was next seen by Mr.. viii
Brlssie shortly after $50 near Pine
Vile. He was then on his way home.
The killing took place about two
hours later at a point 800 yards on
this side of Kimball's house. AS he
passed, it IS ~not known whether or
not he stopped. It is hardly probable
that he did, for there were no tracks
to Indicate it. Owing to the fact that
not one of the principals would talk
very little information of a positive
nature could be learned.
Besides his wife, Kimball has one
