some schemerS had induced that
State to take, by means OF what In
North Carolina Is called a sneak
bill" The legislature of Rhode
Island placed before the people last
year a constitutional amendment CIV
ing the governor the veto power, and
the people ratified this. The reso-

North Carolina owes debt Of graft
tude to Rhode Island for the mag
nificent manner in which that state
has acted.

which breed In this State are really
profitable, as for example, the COM
