*" As yet little or nothing of gen
eral importance has been done by
the Legislature. It's too «x>n in
the session for real work, but thi
grists are no doubt being prepared,
-for it is noticed from the daily press
that' 'a large number of bills are
being poured into the hopper."
In another week or so something of
interest will begin to transpire, but
the public generally are trusting
that our legislators will be temperate
and conservative in whatever they
may do and that nothing may be
done that will impair the progress of
the State. Every proposition should
be scrupulously considered before
*1 being enacted into law. Experi
ments should be let severely alone.

Mr. Munsey, who owns a half doz

zines, knows a good thing when he
sees it. It takes talent to run his pub
lications and he takes it wherever he
can get it. Lately he has secured
Mr. Robert L. Gray, of Raleigh, one
of the State's brightest newspaper
men, for the Baltimore News at a
very flattering salary.
When Gov. Kitchin appointed Mr.
R. R Clark, the editor, and proper
ietor of the State's best semi-weekly
newspaper, The Landmark of
Stateaville, a director of the State
Hospital at Morganton, he made no
mistake. He succeeds Chas. H.

Washington Letter
Washington, D. C., Jan. 9, 1911.
With the exception of the death
of Senator Elkins of West Vir
ginia no eveht of very great im
portance has occurred in Wash
ington since the adjournment of
Congress. The death of Mr Elkins
makes it certan that there twill be
two Democrat Senators from his
State. Senator Scott of West Vir
ginia will be succded by a Demo
crat, and the legislature being
Democrat will elect a Senator of
that party to succeed Senator
Elkins. The late Senator was one
of the wealthiest of what has
been cal'ed the "American House
of Millionaires." His death is gen
erally explained in the press as
caused by over work at the late
Congresional session, but anyone
at all familiar with the facts will
not be slow to attribute his illness
to high living. He no doubt had a
powerful constitution, but no
constitution can forever with
stand a perpetual banquet.
The President has announced
that he wiil not take the initia
tive in bringing together in holy
accord the belligerent wings of
the Republican party known as
the stand patters and the insur
gents. He says that hew ill address
himself the business of the coun
try and leave any peace making,
program to the contending parties.
When it was announced some
days ago that Senator elect Lori
mer had been given a clean bill
of morals with reference to his
election as Senator, there were
many who said, "How will Col.
Roosevelt feel now for refusing to
sit at table with him and having
the refusal published over the
world" but now that the Senate
has refused to approve the clean
bill prepared by Senator Bur
roughs and others and proposes
to take up the matter again, it Is
quite possible after all that his
tory will justify Ex-President
Roosevelt's action,
If appearances are to be trust
ed, something will ba done at
this session of Congress to pro
ven" the influx of undesirbles
people from Europe. Surely if
there is any choice in undesirbles
the Asiatics by way of the Paci
fic are less vicious than some who
have been recentley coming across
the Atlantic. A deputation of
American newspapers numbering
thirty-two called on President
Taft to protest against the hard-,
ships encountered by immigrants
landing in this country. Their
spokesman, Louis Hammerling,
told the President that they ob-.
jected to the suspicion with which
immigration officers looked upon
those arriving in this country.
Pres. Taft told them that he went
last Fall to Ellis Island and re
mained there during the forenoon
listening to the cases presented to
the immigration commissioners
and once or twice, moved by com
passion, he intervened in behalf
of immigrants whom the commis
sioner would have turned back,
and that be had sinoe followed
those cases in which he had been
influenced against his better judg
ment, but that he had to make
the humiliating confession that
the outcome vindlcted the com
missioner and showed that his ex
perience was better than the
President's compassion.
Apropos of the immigrant ques
tion, the, fact that the attorney
general is proceeding against the
international steam ship lines un
der the Sherman law is vary signif
icant and far reaching, The rea
son Europe is scraped, as it were,
with a fine tooth comb for the
million or more of immigrants '
annually landing in this country
is found to a great extent that '
steerage traffic is immensely prof
itable to the great steam ship
lines such as Loyds, the Hamburg-
American the Cunard, the White
Btar, the Holland-American and
several other*. They make millions
yearly in this traffic and it is a
well kftown fact that they carry
I \rge bodies of steerage passen
gers both ways. At least half
million are taken Eastward back
to the "old country" every year.
All the steam ship lines, have
immigrant bureaus and traveling
•gents using every means and in
ducement to bring immigrants to
this country.
This is the season of war scares,
promoted, it is said by some in
order io get large appriatiens for
the army and navy and for the
contractors who furuish military
supplies. There is a report that .
Japanese govermeut has success
fully negotiated with President
Diaz of Mexico-for a port and a
depot of supplies on the western
coast. If there were trath in this
it would be cause for immediate
interference by the United Btatea
government,

THE DRAGON'S BACKBONE.
Aii'Odd Inoldent of Railroad Construc
tion in China.
When there was undertaken the con
struction of tbe railway between Klrln
and Newcbwang, tbe seaport of Man
churia. It was proposed to make a
junction at a place called Lanpien, out
side tbe city of Mukden. For this per
mission bad to be obtained from the
Tartar general of Mukden. This func
tionary at once proceeded to call In his
geomancers, a species of soothsayers, j
who gave information concerning the
good fortune and 111 fortune of sites
and were supposed by tbe Chinese to '
know what demons and dragons in
 habited the earth nnder the surface. I
These wlsiß men reported that the |
dragon whose body encircled the holy
city of Mukden lay coiled up In such a i
way that If the railway came through |
Lanpien the long nails driven Into the
ties would pierce bis backbone and In |
all probability set bim to raging vlo-1
lently, jo the great detriment of the !
people of Mukden..
The general consequently refused the '
application of tbe railway people and
directed them to carry the road In a
straight line from Klrln to New- |
chwang, avoiding Mukden. The en- j
glneers thereupon appealed to the vice
roy, showing that, as this proposed
route would go through a marshy and
uninhabited country, It could not be 
profitable for their enterprise.
The viceroy wrote to the general of'
Mukden, highly commending him for
his discretion in consulting the geo
mancers, but suggesting that these 
sage persons go over tbe ground again
and see if tbey could not find a place
where the nails would not be likely to
strike into the dragon's back. Accord-1
lngly, at the command of the viceroy, j
the general bad hla geomancers indi
cate a spot for the Junction at Lanpien
where they thought after all, the
dragon's backbone would be safe.—

RICE PAPER.
Shaved From the Bnow Whit* Pith of
Troas In Formosa.
The so called -rice paper Is not made
from rice, as Its name Implies, but
from tbe snow white pith of a small
tree belonging to the genus aralla, a
genus represented In this country by
the common sarsaparilla and the
spikenard. The tree grows In Formo
sa and, so far as la known, nowhere
else. The stems are transported to
China, and there the rice paper la
made. It la used, aside from a num
ber of other purposes, by tbe hativs •
artists top water color drawings, and
sometimes it Is dyed In various colors
and made Into artificial flowers.
The tools of the pith worker com
prise a smooth stone about a foot
square and a large knife or hatchet
with a short wooden handle. The
blade Is about a foot long, two inches
broad and nearly half an Inch thick at
the back, and It is as sharp as a razor.
Placing a piece of the cylindrical
pith on the stone and his left hand on
, the top, tbe pith worker will roll the
pith backward and forward for a mo
ment until he gets it in tbe required
position. Then, seizing the knife with
his right band, he will hold tbe edge
of the blade after a feint or two close
to the pltb, which be will keep rolling
to the left with his left band until
nothing remains to unroll, for the pith
has, by tbe application of the knife,
been pared into a square white sheet
of uniform thickness. All that re
mains to be done la to square the
edges.
If one will roll up a sheet of paper,
lay It on a table, place the left band
on top and gently unroll It to the left
he will have a good Idea of bow the
feat Is accomplished.—New York Her

Heed The Warning
Many Graham People Have
Done So.
When the kidneys are sick they ,
give unmistakable warnings that i
should not be ignored. By exam
ining the urine and treating the .
kidneys upon the first sign of !
disorder, many days of suffering \
may be saved. Sick kidneys ex- ,
pel a dark, ill-smelling urine, full ,
of "brickdust" sedimentand pain- j
ful iu passage. Sluggish kidneys
cause a dull pain in the small of
the back, headaches, dizzy spells, ,
tir. d, languid feelings and fre
quently rheumatic twinges. !
Doan's Kidney Pillß are for the 
kidneys only; they cure sick kid- I
neys, and rid the blood of uric 1
poison. If you suffer from any j
of the above symptoms you can
use no better remedy. 1
Graham peopel recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills.
A. T. Webster, Maple' St., 
Graham, N. C., says: "I suffered
severely from pains in the small of i
my back, accompanied by a sore
ness across my kidneys. The «
kidney secretions were also un
natural and plainly Bhowed that
my kidneys were at fault. Seeing !
Doan's Kidney Pills highly reco- j
mended, I procured a box at the
Thompson Drug Co. and began
using them in accordance with i
the directions I felt much better l
in a short time and after that I i

When a Tree is Wounded.
• Discussing protection for tree
wounds one Farmer's ( Bulletin
says nothing applied to the sur
face of a wound made in pruning
a tree will induce it to heal more
quickley. The activity of the heal
ing process depends upon the
character and position the
I time of year when the wound is
I made, rather than upon any pro
tecting covering.
. Large wouqds which result from
] the removal of branches of con
siderable diameter, leaving a large
j surface of barewood exposed,
' may with advantage be protected
by painting the cut surface with
| a heavy coat of white lead, the
j sole object of this precaution be-
I ing to protect the heartwood from
decay until the new growth, which
forms from the growing tissue
■ immediately under the bark, has
had time to develop over the ex
posure, A large number of waxes,
paints and washes have been tried
I and the conclusion of the whole
-
matter may be summarized in the
statement that auy substance
. which is not corrosive or detrimen
ts to growth, which will protect
the heartwood from the attack of
I rot sprouts, will prove a satisfac
| tory covering for a cut surface.
Among such substances may be
mentioned white lead, yellow
ochre, coal tar, and graftig wax.
Prof. A. D. Selby, botanist at
Ohio Experiment Station, recom
mends asphaltum as a dressing
for wounds made in pruning. Gas
tar is also recommended and
either, he says, is better than
ordinary lead paint.

It may be. But If a bee settles on *

Burial* In Coffins.
—Burial in coffins in England was not
usual until about 1700-or even later. 1
While the right to naked burial was
not denied, it was questioned whether i
our forefathers could insist, upon the
privilege ot being Inclosed Jn "a big 3
box, perhaps Imperishable,!- and so 1
laid In the earth. At Karnham about ,
1080 only fourteen out ol| flfty-Bve
persons burled were buried in coffins.

The cause ,of rheumatism is excess
uric acid in the blood. To cure rheu
matism this acid must be expelled from
the system. Rheumatism Is an inter
nal disease and requires an internal
remedy. Rubbing with oils and lini
ments may ease the pain, but they will
no more cure rheumatism than paint
will change the fiber of rotten wood.

complete cure called Rheumaclde. Test
