Would Provide for Overhauling; City Systems Where Desired. Warren Bill Would Divide State Into Two Judicial Divisions. Woman's Home Measure Offered. House Kills Bar Association Bill. Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 29.? An espe cially notable bill introduced today was that in the Senate by Senator Brenizer to provide a change in the accounting systems of the State de partments, State institutions and for counties, and also to provide a spe cial system for municipalities, where the authorities of the municipality de cide to obtain such system. The bill would create a special board, one member of the Senate, one by the House and one appointed by the Governor by March 1, the mem bers to receive $10 per day and ex penses while at work, subject to ap proval by the Governor. The work would begin April 1 and be completed by next January. The board would investigate the present systems in the State depart ments and institutions to ascertain the needs, the new system to be de vised being required to make com plete and accurate showing of the full effect of all transactions on State finances, a modern respect; also uni form accounting for the counties and a system for municipalities, the adop tion of which would be optional with the municipal authorties, in which event the city would pay its pro-rata part of the cost of the system. The State departments and institutions would be required to put in operation the new systems by January 1, 1918. Senator Wrarren put in a bill to di vide the State into Eastern and West ern judicial divisions with 24 judicial districts and a rotation in the service of judges that would leave two judges always available for assignment by the Governor to hold emergency courts whether needed to take the place of any unable to fill engagements. Senator Scales put in a bill to es tablish a State home for girls and women. It was announced in the Senate that the judiciary committee will hear ar gument on the workmen's compensa tion bills Wednesday afternoon. The House committee is expected to join in the hearing. The House surprised itself in de feating without argument the State Bar Association bill for creating a State board of three examiners to ex amine the applicants tor licenses to practice law, th<* issuance of the li censes to remain with the Supreme Court. The vote was 34 to 19. In conference of the members of the Ju diciary committees after the session this evening it was determined to call up the matter again tomorrow and get re-consideration and make a fight for the life of the measure, which is understood to be very much desired by both the Bar Association and the members of the Supreme Court. North Carolina will have Australian ballot system if a bijl offered in the Senate this evening by Senator Thom as A. Jones, of Asheville, should be come a law. It is a measure for which there are hosts of advocates in every quarter of the State and Senator Jones says the bill shall have his best service in effort for its enactment into law. The bill is the regulation Austra lian ballot sort and was referred to the committee on elections. A date for hearing is to be agreed on later. New bills in the Senate included: Jones? Provide for the Australian ballot in this State; three hundred copies of the bill ordered printed. Warren ? Increase the Superior court judges and judicial districts and to provide for emergency judges. This bill provides that one district in the Eastern division of the State and one in the Western division shall consist of one or more counties, a small district, and the terms of court in the districts shall be limited to 20 weeks each annually. There would be 24 judicial districts in rotation. Each of the judges would in turn be come an emergency judge in the ro tating system observed, subject to be assigned to any county by the Gover nor to hold special courts or supply bill say the provision regulating the in case of sickness. Advocates of the emergency judges means the creation of no more new offices and no addi tional compensation is allowed. At the same time it is claimed that the increase in the districts will remedy the present situation giving trouble in many counties. Parker ?

Three hundred cop ies ordered printed and the bill set as a special order for Wednesday along with the other education bills. Nelson- Bill carrying the appropri ations for the A. & M. College.

The Language ?f the Child. You may not boast of French or Greek, Nor Latin nor Italian know; Perhaps a blush may mount your cheek When lips with alien language glow; A word of Spanish might not mean As much to you as savage cry ? Hut there's one language that we all Stand bound in bonds of beauty by. One language heard around the earth, Strong in its simple, sweet delight; A burst of music in the dawn, A sylvan sympathy in flight Across the sorrow of the years, Twin-born of laughter and of song ? The language of the little child To whose dear world we all belong. That language that is more than speech, Tht? worldless magic that reposes In twinkling eye and dimpled chin, And cheeks and lips like sun-kissed roses; The language that all know so well, Its meaning of delight or pain, The joy of all its golden chain. Ah, never mind the pedant's lore, Nor envy you what sages fashion ? Life lives forever more and more In love beyond the rule of passion ? In love, that is the magic speech Upon the lips we kiss so wild ? Awed by the gladness it may teach ? The language of the little child. ? The Bentztown Bard. Newspaper Swindlers. The writer was a passenger on the last train for Raleigh Saturday night. When the train was about two miles from the station, a man of middle age, neatly dressed, stopped at a seat occupied by the writer and a farmer who lives near Wendell, and who is well known to many of the people. Tho stranger explained to the farmer that he had something to give him, and had him move to a nearby seat. He produced from his pocket sample copies of various cheap, trashy pa pers, all the while keeping up a con versation, telling the gentleman from near this city, that all he wanted him to do was to pay the postage on said papers for three years, which amount ed, as later happenings proved, to be $1.80. The swindler wrote the rcceipt, changed a ten dollar bill for the man, handing him $8.20. All worked well until the man who had been buncoed requested the stranger to return his money, saying that he did not want the papers. The stranger explained that it would be impossible to do that, for a receipt had been accepted, and the money paid for the papers. This system is worked over this State every day. Farmers will pay most any amount for some cheap pa per, published in Chicago, New York, or any city, which are full of liquor advertisements, but when they are asked about subscribing for a local county paper they say that they are taking, naming some of these trashy paper, and have no extra time to read. Mest of the time they never receive the paper, but they do not lose any thing. The high cost of news print paper will possibly prove a blessing to the country, for it will mean an end to many papers that circulate in all sec tions of the United States: papers that only want an enormous circula tion, and carry nothing but mail or der and whiskey ads. ? Wendell Times. The new half dollars are announced to be ready for distribution, but they will not be any easier to procure than the old ones. ? Evening Wisconsin. C. R. HUDSON ssw Mr. Hudson Is stats agent of the Farmers' Cooperative Demonstration work in Agricultural and Home Eco nomics In North Carolina. Farmers are profiting greatly by his energetic work. HER TENTH HUSBAND IS GLAD TO GET FREEDOM Houston, Tex., Jan. 30. ? Mrs. Net tie L. Frede, of Cross Timbes, lost her tenth husband today. Edward Frede obtained a divorce on grounds of extreme cruelty. He said his wife forced him to get up before daylight and feed the chickens and go to bed at sundown. Mrs. Frede is built on dreadnought lines; Frede is about a fourth-class cruiser. Frede paid 80 chickens, four hogs, one cow, one horse, one buggy and half a farm for his freedom. That was his share of their farm. The little farmer told Judge Harvey he was Nettie's tenth husband ? all the others having died or been di vorced. SPILONA NEWS. The Spilona Literary Society had a very interesting meeting Friday, January 26, 1917. It was well attend ed by parents and school children. The society is young, but is progress ing rapidly. The basket ball and tennis clubs arc two of the interesting features of the school, and are showing rapid improvement, under the direction of Miss Floy Johnson, tennis coach, and Miss Janett Causey, basket ball coach. The teachers and students are now planning for a delightful entertain ment, which will be announced later. Every one in the neighborhood is wide awake and the school is pro gressing rapidly. At the Spilona church Sunday af ternoon, singing was held by the young folks, with Mr. Herbert Hon eycutt leader. Miss Floy Johnson, Miss Janett Causey, and Mr. Paul Johnson were numbered amonfc the guests at Mr. W. L. Lassiter's Sunday afternoon.

Green was hostess to the Bridge Club this week, and, as is ever the care when Mrs. Green en tertains, the occasion was one of un usual happiness to all her guests. A short business meeting occupied the first half hour, and as Mrs. Green's year of office as President of the club had expired, and as she posi tively declined a second term, the club unanimously elected Mrs. T. C. Evans its President for the ensuing twelve months. A motion was then made to change the day of meeting from Tuesday to Friday of each week. After some in teresting debates, the motion was carried by a vote of five to four. Aucion Bridge was then played at three tables, while the Victrola, in the care of Miss Frances Green, played some beautiful selections. All the scores made were good, but that of Mrs. H. P. Sevens was the highest. A dainty collation was served after th^ game. Besides the club members, Miss Hoskins, of Charlotte; Mrs. W. M. Sanders and Mrs. George R. Pou were present. WHAT HE U1U U> 5l.uuu A imk. Remarkable Kecord of a Letter Car rier in An Indiana City. (I)uluth Herald.) A letter carrier in Indianapolis worked 30 years on an income of $1, 000 a year or less, and only recently could it have risen as high as $1,200 a year. Yet this man today says that Prov idence has been kind to him; and well he may say so, for this is what he has done: He has reared and educated a fam ily of four boys and two girls. Three of the boys and one of the girls have been through college ? in part, no doubt, by their own efforts, though the parents deserv# credit for so rearing them that they were wil. ling and able to help on the colloge expenses. The three boys who went to col lege are all civil engineers with positions, and the girl who went to college is a teacher of physical train ing. Two of the boys helped to build the Panama Canal. One of them was in the engineering division six years, and is now an examiner in civil en gineering for the United States civil service commission at Washington. The other was with the Panama Rail road eight years, and is now in Alas ka with the United States Alaska en gineering commission. The third boy is assistant superintendent of main tenance and right of way with an im portant railroad. The youngest boy didn't go to col lege, but did get all the common schools could give him, and has a splendid position as managing sales man with a great corporation. The girl who didn't go to college took a high school course and remains at home with her father and mother. Every child born to this family got a fair start in life and is doing well. The home from which they emerged into the world is the kind of home of which the foundations of the repub lic are built. And it was all done on $1,000 a year! JOHNSON SCHOOL HOUSE NEWS.

Gentlemen: Some time ago I was attacked with a serious spell of Typhoid Fever, which left me in a very weak condi tion and effected by limbs. We decid ed it had resulted -in white swelling. Every remedy we could think of was used, but to no effect. My suffering was great and I had to go on crutches. At last we were induced to try Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy, after suffering for two years, and the result was , marvelous. After taking eight bottles I was entirely cured, and have nev t r had a symptom of trouble since.
