South Carolinians Do Not Find Thrtr

Special to The Observer.
Fayettevllle, March 1$. Late last
Bight- or early this morning quite a
Dumber of South Carolinians allxht
ed; from a northbound train, where
a. large crowd of cltliena and sheriffs
officers met them. There were no
violent demonstrations and they were

; Now that the Legislature has ad
journed, anyone going over a file of
The Charlotte Observer, " embracing
the proceedings' of its sessions, will
be amazed at, the number, of . public
and ' private bills . introduced. It , al
most; looks as: If every Representa
tive of the 1 1 people " went to ' Raleigh
with pet scheme, of ; his 'own, and
one for everyone their voted for him.
The "constituent"! surely had his
winhJngs-frbm - protection ' to 4 - his
Ashing hole, or piece of swamp, land,
up- to a vote at the polls to cut up
and mutilate one good county and
make two poor ones. - -,
. .The Legislature : did ;f tome good
work, ' remedied some evils, , and af
forded needed relief to the people In
some cases. It made some enact
ments, the results of which-are yet
to be seen. It, is a remarkable fact
that the more: thoughtful peoplo of
North Carolina began to be Afraid of
this Legislature soon after It con
vened, and the capital of the 6tate
spedlly became a "storm centre."
It is nrobable that drums the past
sixty and more days more people from
different sections of jvortn carqjina
went to Raleigh than ,i: ever before,
to pitch .their tents in front of the
great stone capitol, and await anxi
ously what might Issue therefrom.
They were lobbyists, but most of them
in not a bad sense. They were
business men, manufacturers, rail
road men, professional men. They
saw waterlal Interests, vital to their
welfare, Insolently approached, and
violently attacked.
SThe very name of railroad, especial
ly, was a slogan, a battle cry, a red
rag to a mad bull, '' and they were
beseiged with an acrimony as bitter
as ii mey naa run a Dig ireigm iruui
slap through both houses of the' Gen
eral Assembly. And yet the railroads
had developed the sections of many
of . those law-makers, and had civil
ised them sufficiently to get them
within hailing distance of the capitol
of the State. A notable instance of
this bitterness was developed In the
case of the president of one of the
great railway lines, who appeared be
fore legislative committee ft man
of ability, of fine character, of great
courtesy of bearing. wlo de
fended the interests placed In his
hands with offense to none. And yet,
to the shame of North Carolina, of
which this polished man was in a
measure the guest, the self-styled "or
gan" of the Democratic party. In Its
columns of the next morning's issue,
made this man the butt of ridicule
and of offensive attack.
To return. Now, why th's unea-.lnes
In the breasts Of the people at large?
Why did they look anxiously toward
the Legislature gathering in Kaieign
as the central "danger, point" of the
Commonwealth? The reason is not far
to seek. It very soon developed that
the House was absolutely dominated
by the mexhlne run branch of the
Democratic party, and congregated,
the avowed henchmen of the "bosses."
With far greater excuse for being par
tlsan. the first Legislature which
hruln sat. in "the nous of it
fathers." after a long lease of Repub
Ucan power, was out Heroded by the
lower house of the Legislature of
1907. With great State and county
majorities In the last election Just be
hmd them, showing that Democratic
lln war unbroken sn.l DomourSKV
safe for many years that they mlgnt
take broad, wise and statesman-like
visions and measures in the discussion
and consevative of the interests of the
people of all classes and creeds
throughout the Commonwealth the
members of this house recognized no
deity higher than that dictated by
"the caucus." It expected the party
hip, nd bowed to the lash. Here
and there Representatives pledg
el In thr. cam pal i to a
"stand-pat" policy in local prohi
bition, as it stood, and on other meas'
ures, getting Inside the heated at
mosphere of Raleigh the iountaln-
hea" among Its publts men, of :a
natlcal prohibition felt their blood
boll, and became the most violent of
the radical.
In the other end of the capitol were
rsembled a different set of mn, iho
most patten, grave and reserved
eifeurs oc tne state. Tier w-u
ble men gathered there, and some as
wild as the majority of their co-legis
lators across the corridor. But con
kervatlsm, coolness and gol Judg
ment was largely In the ascendant In
that chamber, which availed to check
and. In a few cases to set at naught
i.-rnlcloui radicalism, both titers t,d
in tne House.
The North Carolina Senator, too,
did not relish a blow. He was no meek
Moses, who, being "smitten on one
cheek turned the other," but he struck
back. He bowed at the nod of no
r.inster. an.1 cared Bo more r-r a
"boss" than he did for a stuffed dod
In a toy shop. The "organ" had no
horrors for ihlm, and when It mlarep
nwnted him or mlstated tu r., Uio
crowd knew it at once In plain terms
that called "a spade a ppade." Mc
Lan, of ' Robeson; Buxton, of For
vih;. Mannirg, Winborio, and ' e
few others were the exponents In the
Senate of a large, conservative body
of the Democratic party who think
for themselves, who regard right and
Jwtlce as higher than ever parllnan
ship, and who call no man master.
The Legislature has adjourned, and
one might imagine that the universal
sigh of relief from border to border
strated a sough In the pines ' of ' the
tide-water, and set to rustling the
leaves of the , rhododendron of the
mountains. It was a "Buster Brown,"
whom neither his motlher nor "Tige,"
nobody but 4,Mary Jane," knew what
he was going to do next As as ag
gregation of law-makers, It Is too soon
for a .verdict. Politically, it has given
the party a bad scare; but Its violence
has overleapea itself, and already the
forecast la plain of a broadened, more
thoughtful , democracy, whlch .will
choose everywhere its own leaders tor
their wisdom and patriotism; not for
their radicalism. 1 :
The loss of the State ' te the de
mocracy would be a calamity in al
most every way; but to avert that
nrll, there ero not a Voow" and, ft

Alt gives me pleasure to inform you
about my health. I can never express
my thanks to you, and can never recom
mend Peruna high enough for all the
good It has done me.
"I have had catarrh of the lungs in the
worst way and went to different doctors,
but without success. They all claimed
I had consumption, which I really
thought myself, for I was all run down
and had no appetite whatever. I could
not sleep, was always weak and tired,
and at times pains In my lungs, espe
cially on the left side.
"I gave Peruna a trial, took about fif
teen bottles and am entirety cured.
Before I started to take Peruna I
weighed 89 pounds, now I weigh 185.
Thanks to Peruna."
Such a story as this shows that Peruna
is a very efficacious remedy.
MRS. B. M. HARRIS.
E. M. HARRIS, Dellwood,
Wis., writes:
'After following your advice and
using Peruna and Manaltn, I was cured
of cmtarrb ot the nose, throat and
stomach, from which I had suffered for
several years. When I commenced tak
ing Peruna I could not make my bed
wlihout stopping to rost. Now I do all
my work, and am in good health.
"I recommend this valuable remedy
to all suffering from any disease of the
stomach."
It is doubtful if there is any other rem
edy in the world that could have done
better work than this. A remedy that
can do this sort of work ought to be in
every household. Peruna is doing these
things all over the United States. The
blessing that it has been to an untold
multitude of women will never be
known. Only a very small per cent, of
such cases will ever make known their
experience.

The stately pine tree growing In
the solitude of the Eastern mountains
holds the proud distinction of yield'
ing to the human race a greater va
rlety and more meritorious medl
clnes than any other plant in the
vegetable world.
Its tinctures, oils and extracts are.
In constant use by the doctors all
over the world and highly prized on
account of, their certain action on
the mucous membranes and their
great healing qualities.
A renowned Philadelphia doctor
has recently given to his fellow physi
cians a "jew and . probably the most
valuable of pine products. It Is
known to- the profession as Concen
trated oil of pine.. In speaking of
this oil a well-known local physician
declared It Is without an equal for
the speedy relief of acute colds and
coughs and all manner of throat and
lung trouble. The original formula
used and now generally prescribed Is
as follows: '
"One-half ounce of -Concentrated
oil of pine, two ounces of glycerine,
half-pint of good, pure whiskey; mix
thoroughly and use In tablespoon
doses every four hours."
On Inquiring at one of the leading
drug stores It was found that the
Concentrated oil. of .pine U put up
only In one way and that Is In 'half
ounce bottles. Each bottle Is enolosed
in a round screw-top case and se
curely sealed. :, This protects it from
heat and light The oils sold In bulk

part is in the good service of good material.
