Legislative Proceedings Highlight Broad NC Bill Activity

On the twenty fifth day the House introduced many measures from Barrow to Parker and beyond, including bond authorizations for Franklin county and local charters for Winterville and Central Industrial Institute. Debates touched licenses, taxes, road work, and electors, with votes on notaries for Governor, tax schemes, and railroad leases. The night session passed numerous bills to protect wildlife, regulate railroads, adjust salaries, and extend local stock and road laws, while senators considered dispensaries and county provisions.
