Full Text Of Bills.
Ordinarily Durham people are
not very much interested in what
the legislature is doing, but
many will be interested in the
therebills published below, which |
relate particularly to Durham
and what shall be done along
certain lines.
The measures speak for them
selves, and it is not out Of place
here to give their origin:
They were drawn by Mr.. W.
G. Bramham, late candidate for
the legislature in this county,
and sent down to Mr.. Harshaw,
republican leader in the house
and Mr.. Britt, republican leader
in the senate and were intro
duced by them at his request.
Mr.. Bramham gives as his rea-
son for not sending the bills to
Messrs. Manning and Smith, rep
resentatives from Durham. that
he wanted all to understand that
the republicans in the legislature
would support the measures.
| Mr.. Bramham also claims that
it is not a political move, but a
measure in which the people are
interested, and while he advo.
Gated these measures in the re-
cent campaign and drew up these
bills, his main desire is to SEE
the people benefited.
These bills as introduced are
as follows:
