The nmsure is now a law of the

followed leader Haynwre
in his declaration that "Section 10 in
the bill is good enough for me."
The two negative votes came from ;
Senator Harry Stubbs of Martin who |
explained that he was against it for
reasons previously set forth by Senator
Raggett of Harnett, and fori
other reasons which he d;?i not care
to state, ar.d from - : a tor TaDD of
Lenoir county, who merely voted no
and did not r - to ren * why.
Senator Bagget sper.r 15 minutes
in ''explaining hi.- v during
which time he advanced a variety of
points h? wo!:-.dered ag t.: t the bill
Althougr .? . k it ' tterly when
the Senate finally gave him the "ru<h
act" on the speaking stunt, he voted
in the affirmative.
The Harnett Senator's principal
compi.i r.t was that the < .' contained
no provision lor lawful y procuring
liquor for medicinal purposes in the
home. He expre ed gra>. e fears for
the lives of Xorth Carolina mountaineer
who have been depending
upon the alcoholic liquid to counteract
the effects of a deadly poison that
is accustomed at times to creep into
cow's milk after "old ussy" has
spent the day feasting n a certain
weed in mountain pastures.
Dr. J. M. Hodges, Republican of
Avery, while voting as his leader,
protested the failure of the measure
to contain a clause allowing the pro
curing of whiskey for personal use
in the home and pra _ the substitute
for snakebite. which Senator
Baggcl u>ed with considerable eloquence
arii) much feeling.
When some one sought to call a
halt <- the Harnett S-n.itors speech
Serai or i i!vr-? of Johnston rose to
rnakr the motion ;r more time with
the provision that f exemption

evil, he declared.
Liquor Easy to Get
"Why" he roared, "1 can go away
from thi- senate in three hours after
this bill is ratified ami j t I'.) gallons
of liquor, hut I can't get it legally."
After the Harnett man hud railed
against the inability i>? provisions for

The following is taken from the
Winston-Saiem Journal.
A delegation of very earnest citizens
from the capital of Watauga
paused at the Journal olfice \?-sterday
afternoon long enough to thank
this paper for its "long sustained"
effort in behalf of the "Lost Provinces.
"They were headed for the state
capital. 1 hey left Boone yesterday

and although it is the dead of winter
and yesterday was a rainy day they!
reached Winston-Salem on schedule'
time and without a single mishap along
the way.

The delegation was headed by \V.
H. Gragg, president of the Chamber
of Commerce of Boone. He said the
road forces were plugging away on
the Watauga end of the Boone Trail
building it of stone and gravel. Three
miles of waterhound macadam have
been completed from lb one to New

(By L N. Perkins 7
On arriving at Kansas City I learn
eci ;hat I would have to lay over there ^
M)me hours before I could get a ^
through train going west. I went to
the \ press office and found mv trunk 41
ad ome up all right. 1 had it tak- S
cji to the baggage room and bought \
a ticket to Port.and, Oregon. I want- s
d to go to the Yackimaw Valley. x
State of W ashington, but the agent
tool me he could only give me a tick? v
1 et to Portland. After procuring my }
ticket and having my baggage check- d
ea i yet raa tnree or iour nours to (
wait. By this time the waiting: room
in the depot was nearly full of trav- ^
elers. So I began to look around to t
see if I could see any familiar faces, r
It had been nearly three months since c
I had seen anyone I had ever known.
When to my surprise I met a man
I had known nearly all my life. He 3
lived near my home in Grayson Co. *
Ya. but was on his way to southern a
Idaho to look out a home to move v
to. Of course I soon told him where
I had started and hoped we would
travel together for some distance
IK* had his ticket to Omaha. Neb.
where he was to meet an emigrant
agent and get his ticket to his destn.a
am. which was Hailey, Idaho,
lie began urging me to go with hini
to Idaho, and try that before going
on to Washington. I was not much
inclined toward Idaho, told him 1
thought it was too cold and barren.
He insisted that I go on anyway and
if I did not like it I could go on furthcr.ther.
Another difficulty, I had
my ticket and baggage checked to
Idaho. He thought we could arrange
that when we got to Omaha as we
would have tc stop there several hour
before taking an emigrant train. We
had tickets over different roads to
Omaha and he left some time before
my train came along. I finally agreed
to stop a while in Idaho if I could j
exchange the ticket 1 had for one
to hi.> destination ana get my baggage
arranged satisfactorily; then I
would go with him, otherwise I would
1 liav, to go on when my train pulled
j up at Count*ill Bluffs across the river
I from Omaha. My friend was wait
ii.g for me and v.e told the baggage
j man that i wished to lay ?ver one or
two day.-, there and would like to havej
i my trunk. \\Y soon found the trunk J
J and recheckcd it to Omaha. This was
joit St; iday morning which necessity-*
j ted ? remaining there thai day, as'
j the ticket office was closed for the
I day
J The next morning we found the
emigrant agent we were looking for
and explained to hint that i wished
to have my ticket for Portland, Ore.
taken up, and get one to Ilailcy, Idaho
instead. He said he thought he
could arrange it for me; so he look
| us to headquarters of the Union Pa|
cific System, and explained to the
officials the situation and they made
the exchange for mo. The agent told
us we would have to wait until ?S
o'clock that night before we could
get an emigrant train through to]
our destination. At that time there
was a very heavy emigration from
the states cast of the Mississippi river
to the far west, all through trains
were crowded with people going west,
ihv emigrant coaches were well-co.piKU
for the . u: ir.oss, berths and]
?&vs, water and fuel in abundance,!
und no change of cars from Omaha I
.> Portland; so when we boarded the J
migrant train we were at home for'
ihe balance of the trip. Ai Shoshone)
da ho we left our emigrant tram.
and took a branch line to Wood riv !
vailey, our destination being Ilai-j
y, the central town of Wood River
Valley.
We were me tat that town by a'
brother of my friend who had beert |
a resident of Idaho for some years'
md he and another man, a formerf
itizen of my home county, owned
and were operating a mine known a.-^
he Tyranus?a galena mine, situated
on the headwaters of "Little
?inoky* a small stream of water sonamed
because of so many hot springs
along its banks, causing a perpetual
.-moke to arise from the water.
The distance from Hailey to the
Tyrant.s was about bO miles. 1 was
personally acquainted with both men
who jfc :-.ad . ne mine, having known
them in Virginia. So it was arrnng-,
cd thot we would visit the Tyranus
and see something of the workings
of the mining sections of the country.
Idaho was then a great mining
country, gold, silver and lead being
the prominent minerals that were
then mined, i had no special taste
lor becoming a miner and did not expect
to engage in tne business, neither
did toe man with whom I had
been traveling. We just made them
a visit. Our objective point was a
valley west of Hailey situated on a
tributary of Wood itiver and known
as Big Camas Braine.
