The fellows who persisted in
prophesying an op?n winter hav.

Senator Foraker deserves the
thanks of the Texas city as the
man that nmde Liruweavilln fa
mous. We understand that Texas ne
groes are protesting against the
invasion of thn inferior Japan

war about it.
THE LEGISLATURE.
Surely graft has hndsoraehard
knock of laic Hut ihe desire to
get sotnethitiir for nothing it
mighty penitent, and its elirai
nation from human nature may
require a fe v more ages.
A Chinaman in writing of
America in the National Hospit
al Record, says, "Yet the women
are to he pitted, too. On festive
occasions thy are draggec
around a room to the accom
panirrent of the most hellisl
music." He must have seen som
two-steps to rag-time at a sum
mer hotel.
It's Better to Be on the Outside Lookin
In Than on the Inside Lookin' Out.
To the Editor of The News Herald:-
I Lote the article in your receui
issue entitled "To Extend th
Town Limits", and thereto th
statement "It is argued that theit
are many people just outside th-
limits, who have their business ii
town and get just as much benefi
from the town as any citizen with
out paying any residence tax to
the town". As one of these, lei
me ask, 44 What benefits do you re
fer to, or what benefits would wt
derive in being within the towi
JlmitbT ' JSone so tar as 1 can as
certain. Surely not the benefit ct
good sidewalks, for I know of resi
dents who live at the outer ecg
of town limits wbo still are com
pelled to walk through mud, at
times ankle deep, to get to mail,
streets, notwithstanding their of
fer at diifernt times to purchase th
cross pieces for a board walk ano
to have the woik done, provided
the town would simply give tn
plank for said wak! Suiely no
good streets, for the worst road
in the county are right within tbt
present town limits? Not lighting
for as that is rnn at present, a few
hours each night, it is not a bene
fit? Surely not police protectioi
for the present limits are not pa
trolled and a policeman arouuo
the outer limits is the raieet of ra-
reties!
As an outsider, who does pay a
town tax on my business, I'll not
ask what the tndebtednss, bonded
and otherwise, of the town is, no
whether the commissioners hav
created a sinking fund to pay ofl
bonds as they mature, but from
your last sentence (in article above
mentioned) it looks to me as if tbt
town had ''saddled more that
she could carry and that you now
want to "pull the outsiders in" t
"help carry the load" without re
ceiving a single benefit therefrom
Why not be like Chicago take m
the whole county while about it

Editorial Correspondence.
Raleisrb, Feb. 13, 1907. A
petition signed by 75 citizens of
Morgauton graded school dis
trict asl ing for the passage of a
law extending the provisions of
the act to prevent the depreda
tions of domestic fowls in the
town of Morganton so that it
will embrace the limits of :aitl
graded school district was re
sented to the House by Mr.
Avery on Monday.
The bill making Mat ion dry af
ter June, 1908, has parsed both
houses and is now law.
Mr. Avery has prepared and
will introduce in the House, per
haps to-day, a bill repealing the
charter of Rutherford College
and re-chartering the town. The
bill provides for theappointmeLt
of t new mayor and board of
alderman; a heavy penalty for
the sale of intoxicating drinks
-vithin five miles of the town to
any student of the college, and
for the chauge of the name
"Excelsior" under the old chart
er, to Rutherford College. A pe
tition from Rutherford College
vvith a lo- g list of signers, ask
ing for the passug of the bill,
has been received by Mr. Avery.
Senator Davis's bill to aUuw
the trustees of the Methodist
church of Morganton to remove
and re-inter the remains of the
bodies buried in the old church
yard there has passed the Senate
and was reported favorably in
the House Tuesday morning.
Mr. Davis, in speaking of this
bill to the writer, said that he
merely wished to give the trus
tees of this church power to re
move these bodies in case it be
comes necessary at some future
time; that the passage of this
bill will not mean that the bodies
will be removed right away, or
at all simply gives the trustees
power to remove them.
Mr. Avery is preparing a bill
which allows $2.00 per day to
juiors in Burke; fees to officers
where "not a true bill' is found
where indictment is made in
ood faith; and allowing in
creased pay to the sheriff for thi
apprehension of illicit distilleries
and "blind tigers" and the arrest
of the operators of same. He
says that while he has wiped
liquor out of Morganton he wish
es to get machinery that will
keep the whole county dry.
Messrs. J. A. Dickson, J. E.
Erwin and J. F. Spaitihour are
visitors here from Morganton
this week.
The Senate Committee on Sal
aries and Fees on Monday re"
ported affirmatively a substitute
bill fixing the salaries of the
State officers. The substitute i
for the bills of Senators Webb
and Turner. The salary of the
Governor is fixed at $5,000 per
anuum. The fees are taken away
from the other State officers,
and aflat salary is prescribed for
them. Their salaries are fixed
in the bill as follows: State
Treasurer, $4,000; Secretary of
State, $4,000, and he shall receive
no other compensation or fees;
the Attorney General, $3,500,
and in addition thereto he shall
be allowed his actual expenses in
attending to the business of the
State, whenever it is necessary
for him to leave the city of Ral-J
eigh for that purpose; Jho. State
Auditor, $3,0QQ- -the insurance
Commisoaer, $3,500; the Super
intendent pf Public Instruction,
$3,500 with no allowance for
traveling1 expenses; the chairman
of the Corporation Commission
$3,500, and the other two mem
bers of the Commission shall each
receive a salary of $3,000 iu full
compensation for their services
as members of the Corporation
Commission, and also as mem
bers of the Board of State Tax
Assessors; the Commissioner of
Agriculture, $3,000. The bill re
quires that the Attorney-General,
Secretary of State, Insurance
Commits oner and other officers
therein referred to, bball coll et
ti e fes which may come into
their hands, and which may be
authorized by; law, and fu n

The bill of Mr. D ivis, of Hyde, j
providing that the oyster com-1
mission shall also oveilook and:
protect fish interests; prohibit
ing the dredging for oysters in
the waters of Pamlico Sound,
Pamlico River, fveuse River and
Long Shoal River for a period i f
two years, and that no oysteiB
which will not bear inspection
shall be shipped out of North
Carolina, passed its final reading
in the House on Monday.
Mr. Avery on Monday intro
duced a bill to be entitled "An
act to amend the Morganton
Graded School Laws."
Section 1 of the bill strikes out
that part of the law requiring
the trustees to select a secretary
from amorg their number, in
other words, allows them to
elect a secretary from the out
side.
Section 2 provides that the
terms of trustees shall begin on
the first Monday of June first
after thir election instead of on
the first Monday of May, as the
law now stands.
Section 3 reads as follows:
"That the Board of Trustees of
Morganton Graded School Dis
trict acting with the Superin
tendent shall have sole power to
adopt a conrse of study and pre
scribe the text books to jbe used
in the Morganton Graded
Schools."
The bill has not yet been re
poited on account of the pro
vision, in section 3, for the adop
tion of bookt by the trustees and
the superintendent, the commit
tee holding it up for further con-
side1 ation. It is doubtful wheth
er the bill, with this section, will
be reported favorably.
