Raleigh.
The senate listened for half an hour
to arguments by Senator Majette and
others on the Majette bill for a consti
tutional amendment to allow a system
of rural land segregation between the
racee, as endorsed by the State Far
mers' Union, and then voted 17 to 15
against the bill on second reading,
killing the bill for the session.
The vote was first postponed and
then Mr. Majette urged reconsidera
tion of this with the fatal result for
his bill.
The senate passed without opposi
tion the bill agreed upon by the joint
conference committee as a substitute
for the anti-jug bill that the senate
had amended to require a referendum
and the measure went to the house,
where its passage is assured. This
means that prohibition legislation is
terminating in a bill that will limit
deliveries of "spirituous liqours" to
one quart within 15 days to one per
son and not over five gallons of malt
liquors with not oyer 5 per cent alco
hol within a 15-day period when the
bill had been passed without amend
ment. Can a 4rti TXT V if a wVa no1 rtfaycA
much the same bill earlj in the con
test over the original1 bill in the 'sen
ate, took occasion to especially thank
Senator Gilliam and Senator Nashj for
their support of the substitute bill in
the conference committee and on the
floor of the senate. .Jk)th had oppos
ed the original bill and worked for the
referendum amendment that finally
worked its defeat through the senate
amendment.

The Senate passed the bill i$ in

.i scale of running to $25 instead of $20,

were numbers of amendments offered
-and voted down, notably one by Mc
Leod to strike out his senatorial dis
trict and, failing in this, to exempt
Robeson county. An amendment by
Senator Muse requiring reports of ex
penses of solicitors, was adopted and
this immediately concurred in by the
House.

dissenting vote the Gilliam bill to

planation by Senator Gardner.
Senate Considers Machinery Bill.
The senate spent some time con
sidering the machinery bill and voted
down a substitute embodying the
1913 machinery act offered by Sena
tor Muse because he opposed the tax
assessment feature of the new bill
with its county assessor feature with,
as he charged, tax assessments as to
sheriff settlements, and listing town
property in May, and all were ao
, cepted and the bill passed in final
reading to, go back to the house for
concurrence.

When you darken your hair with

another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant. You will also dis

Unchivalrous,
Two farmers, attired in corduroys
and gaiters, were strolling through a
picture gallery, where they looked, and
apparently felt, decidedly out of place.
But at last they brought up before a
picture which really seemed to please
them a portrait of a lovely girl with
a particularly ugly bulldog.
"This is something nice, Dick," said
one.
"What is it called?"
T)ick referred to the catalogue.
"'Beauty and the Beast,'" he said.
The other man looked closer at the
bulldog.
"Ah!" he sighed, appreciatively, "he
is a beauty, too!" London Tit-Bits.
A True Bourbon.
In the unregenerate past, when our
fair land lay in drunken stupor under
the heel of the demon rum, a teacher
of chemistry in one of the southern
colleges was quizzing his class on the
subject of the preceding lecture, which
was "water," and happened to call up
on a student from Kentucky, one John
son. "Johnson," he said, "name the prin
cipal properties of water."
."Well, sir," said Johnson, briskly,
aijid confidently, "it's poisonous."

Without Overloading The Stomach.
The business man, especially, needs
food in the morning that will not over
load the stomach, but give mental vig
or for the day.
Much depends on the start a man
gets each day as to how he may ex
pect to accomplish the work on hand.
He can't be alert with a heavy, fried-meat-and-potatoes
breakfast, requiring
a lot of vital energy in digesting it.
'A Calif, business man found a food
combination for producing energy. He
writes:
"For years I was unable io find a
breakfast food that had nutrition
enough to sustain a business man
without overloading his stomach, caus
ing indigestion and kindred ailments.
"Being a very busy and also a very
nervous man, I had about decided to
give up breakfast altogether. But luck
ily I was induced to try Grape-Nuts.
"Since that morning I have been a
new man; can; work without tiring,
my head is clear and my nerves strong
and quiet. i
"I find that Grape-Nuts, with a little
sugar and a small quantity- of cold
milk, makes a delicious morning meal,
which invigorates me for the day's
business." !

FIRST OFFICIAL ORDER OF FOR
E8TER REGARDING NEW NA
TIONAL PARK.
SCENERY IS MAGNIFICENT
Wonderfui Road Was Built by George
W. Vanderbilt Without 'Regard
t - of Time or Money.
Asheville. The first official order
of the forestry services affecting the
recently purchased tract of 87,600
acres of the Vanderbilt timber lande
at Pisgah Forest was made a few
days ago by the forester in charge
when it was ordered that the road
tjO the top of Pisgah be thrown open
ip the public, and that vehicles be
allowed to ascend the mountains from
9 to 1 o'clock, making the descent
from 3 to 6.
Heretofore passes have been neces
sary to obtain a trip over the excel
lent mountain highway of unusual
beauty ; but in the future all persons
who desire to make the trip will be
allowed to do so with the understand
ing that they drive at a moderate rate
of speed. t
The road was constructed by the
late George W. Vanderbilt at great
expense, the creator of Biltmore or
dering that a highway be built from
his mansion to the lodge at the sum
mit of the mountains without regard
for time or money. The road was in
the course of construction for severs!
years and has been pronounced by ex
perts as one of the best mountain
highways In the world J
The highway, opened to the public,
promises to prove one of western
North Carolina's biggest attractions,
going through the very heart of the
finest stand of timber in the United
States the property on which Gifford
Tinchot inaugurated scientific meth
ods vof forestry.
Wooten' Will Was Brief.
Klnston. Exactly three years be
fore the date of his funeral, on Feb
ruary 28, 1912, to be exact, jthe late
Emmett R. Wooten, speaker of the
house of representatives, made his
will. The document is one of the
briefest on record, .contains only about
85 words in holograph and was writ
ten on a memoranda sheet bearing
the 'business heading of an insurance
company.
The will Was found among his pa
pers, and names his widow, Mrs.
Nannie C. Wooten, as the executrix.
She is the sole beneficiary- Mr.
Wooten was the owner of consider
able personal property and real 'es
tate, although he was not excessively
wealthy. Clerk of the Court Heath
turned over the letters to Mrs. Woot
en as executrix.
Wiping Out Hog Cholera.
Scotland Neck. It is now pretty
certain that the heretofore dreadful
disease, hog cholera, that has killed
thousands of pounds of meat in this
section, win be almost, if not quite
eliminated. The local live stock
agent, N. B. Stevens, says he has in
oculated 2,022 hogs since coming here
a little more than a month ago, and
from the reports received the percent
age of deaths from the disease has
been very materially decreased there
being less than a dozen deaths among
the hogs treated and in many herds,
there were well-developed cases of
cholera.
Cleveland Drainage Costs Less.
Shelby One of th few instances
in which public work is carried on
at a less expense than was anticipat
ed is in the draining of Buffalo Creek
and its tributaries. The district was
formed about two years ago and a
bond issue of $108,000 voted. The
drainage commissioners have been
faithfully working on the reclamation
of the land with two big dredge boats
for a little over a year. Chairman A.
H. Cline says the work will be com
pleted in two months and there will
be left something like $25,000 in the
treasury which will go to paying the
interest on the bonds. f

"Steal -or' Kill r
Traffic in the downtown district of
St. Louis was blocked for half an hour
the other day when Frank: Witt, a ma
chinist out of work, paraded the
streets wearing the following sandwich
sign:
"Chief Young wants 300 more po
licemen to stop the increasing crimes.
"What shall I do?
"No work, no money, four mother-,
less children to feed.
"Shall I steal, commit highway rob

"One thousand are in the same po
sition in this city today.
"Enormous luxury; enormous pov

TO FLUSH THE KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat and Take Salts for
Backache or Bladder Trouble
Neutralize Acids.
TJriCj acid in meat excites the kid
neys, they become overworked; get
sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of
lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder is irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the kid
neys clog you must help them flush
off the body's urinous waste or you'll
be a real sick person shortly. At first
you feel a dull misery in the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour,
tongue coated and you feel rheumatic
twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful In a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fa
mous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithla, and has been used for
generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, j
so it no longer is a source of irrita
tion, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
llthia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the ,
kidneys clean and active. Druggists j
here say they sell lots of JacL Salts to
folks who believe in overcoming kid- ;
ney trouble while It ia only trouble.
