The bill in brief provides for an cleo.
ton at which tho question of changing

vote of the people Of the county. The
act also provides that in the event of a
favorable vote Col. Randle is to furnish

Senator Clagett explains his bill to
provide funds for conducting the bust
ness Of the tobacco warehouses as fol-
lows: "The BILL" said Senator Clagett
"is not to provide for any deficiency in
the revenue Of the tobacco inspections,
as some have supposed. There is no
deficiency. But because Of the late in
activity of the tobacco trade and the
small stock on hand revenues did not
come to the inspector as he needed
them. My bill il to borrow $4,000
temporarily from the tobacco fund of
the present emergency, all of which
will shortly be returned to tho fund
from the receipts from inspections. The
bill is designed only to provide for e
present and temporary emergency. The
chief inspector pays all funds in hand
into the State Treasury. The retiring
inspector, Mr.. A. T. Robinson, has
made or will soon make his payments,
and this leaYes the incoming inspector
without funds for current expenses, but
entirely self-supporting"
