3 Uatausa Democrat; Robert C. Rivers, ; EDrroft and Proprietor. Thursday, March 12, 1903 the most Important and win western counties of A?hf, Al; ninVpart in these fights and lebany, Watuujsa, Burke, , RALEIGH LETTER. RaLeigh, March 9 -By the 1 time these lines are read the General Assembly oi 1903 ' will be a thing of the past. , f Its closing hours were mark d by active hard work, and "dead loads" of it was ac complished. The legislature was practically in continuous session during the last three day, adjourning only f o r t meals and completing the day's work at a late hour, keeping both branches in ses sion until midnight and af ; t'r. While this Legislature o n a whole was an "eminently respei'table" one with a nuin . ber of decidedly able men in both branches and was bove theavrage"o especially if we include the recent Popu 't Leeislatnres and those which in years hgone were controlled by the Republi caus still the number of big men" wus comparatively small. In the Senate, for instance, after excepting about a half a dozen gentlemen of real a- biuty and valuable expert encein pnblic affairs, the av erage Senator wns not up to the standard in North Caroli lia, and aid not compare fa torably with the one of two years ago especially. Indeed some of the men who occupi ed senatorial seatsonght nev er to hav been stnthfr e. This writer has been repor ting the Legislature for nin ny years, and is in a position to speak intelligently on this subject. But I shall not hurf anv one's feelings by referr ing even by inference, to any individual. As usual the work of the session wan directed by the leading spirits and it speaks for itself. The liquor question has not been ncitated so much in a generation as du ring the last two months and the "liquor devil" nade his presericn e 'e t ven nn'o the last expiring breath of the legislature. The most effective niece of real temperance legislation was the passage in the House last Friday of the bill to com pel all licensed saloons all o ver the State to close busi ness at 8 o'clock, p. m. It is the night drinking and "treating" in saloons that starts ;the appetite in Jliinety per cent, of the young men of the young men of the South, and it is responsible for ninet. -nine per cent, of the dpbanches and protrnc ted sprees" indulged in hj' men of maturer years. It i8 the starling point of the downward course that leatfB to wrecked constitutions, fi nancial and moral poverty, the "jim jams" and to hell on earth and hereafter. Not much from a temper ance standpoint is expected iroruTue viuusidw or, ram er the Simmons Aycock law -except in the country and .. uuincurpuruifu viuuge, nun the stronghold of the saloon has Dever been there. Hut it will turn the distilleries from the country to the to wns and il nno nno.hnmlioilth norf i( what some peoplesaid is true the country is to be congrat ulated on that, at least, and the rities and towns corres pondingly pitied. Hut Dolitics always olavs in this fight there was no ex ception to the rule. So the Senate referred the 8 o'clock closing .saloon bill of t h e House to the Judicary rom mlttee, instead ol acting on it directly as it has done in the closing days in other mattars of moment. This ac tion settled its fate, and tire 8 o'clock saloon bill did not pass the Senate as many hoped it would. After all leaving out the moral and spiritual effects of the proposition it is a ques tion whether it woul I have been wise, from a political standpoint, for any party to take such n'. radical step at once. Some s"usible men say ' it would have split the party wide open." Not that the saloon mrn could do this but because a considerable per cenloge of the voters oppose such legislation. An attempt was made to incorporate n number of lit tle villages during the doss ing hour.', but only a v e r few succeed in getting thro'. The object was to continue distilleries or establish new ones therein. It is understood, on the strength of advices received from Washington that Sam Vick. the negro postmaster at Wilson, will walk the plank this week and that Dr. 15. T. Person will be appointed to succeed him. Raleigh is to have a great Street Fair and carnival in May, lasting one week under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias. -An appropriation of $50, 000 (to come from the sur plus fund of the Ag.iicultmnJ Department) has, been made for the erection of an "agri cultural building" at the A. & M. College. Yanee ami Caldvvellund.it ts now the law. He had a hard fight to get it through, how ever. ' . ' . "- ': " : ; The bond issue bill was a mended at tho last moment so us not to make the inter est "not exceed 4 per cent,'" instead of 3. The amount of the issue is limited to $300, 000. The Legislature will ad journ sine die today (Mon day) at noon. For which one tnmKworked newspaper man will be duly thankful. LLEVVXAM. Ia Mcinoriam. Died at his home near Hani boo, this county, of Sept. 14. 1902, Mr. Hailey Han.pton. lie was burn July 1, '78; was marriel to Miss Ehtvlla Lay July 28,1901.

Ver non and was always present at his church meetings unless providentially hindered. lie liyd a consistent and faith ful member until djarh. He leaves a wife and little son to fight life's battles alone. He was the most patient siif ferer we have ever seen, and talked of the sweet singing un1 musie he. heard during his illness. He also dreamed of our blessed Savior and of sitting down near the great white throne with Him, and saw the most beautiful pea pie he had ever looked upon. It c an truly be said ;hat a good man has gone from a mong us, but our hiss is his gain. After a life of hardship and trials he has gone where the weary are at iest, and where partings are no more He did not seem to suffer while he was dying, but piss ed away without even a strug The Senate Saturday afterigle as. aaeetly as a child go- noon passed the bill of Repre sentative Newland, appropii ating $1,500 for a building and $2,000 per annum f o r the maintenance of a train school for teachers in the six i Loss if fitisfi When you can't cat break- fsst, take Scott's.

Tut we sorrow out us those who have no hope, for testis will soon come and wake the sleeping ones, then we hope to meet dear Harby clad in immortality in that land that knows no pain, sickness, nor sad partings, Geneva Hampton. The Newland Bill, to estab lish a training School for Teachers, passed the House by an overwhelming majori ty, and made i t s way through the Senate 25 to 12.
