Consumption
J There is no specific for
consumption. Fresh air, ex
ercise, nourishing food and
Scott's Emulsion will come
pretty near curing it, if there
is anything to build on. Million-,
of people throughout the
world are living and in good
health on one lung.
(J From time immemorial the
doctors prescribed cod liver
cil for consumption. Of
course the patient could not
take it in its old form, hence
it did very little good. They
can take
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
and tolerate it for a long
lime. There is no oil, not
excepting butter, so easily
digested and absorbed by the
system as cod liver oil in the
form - of Scott's Emulsion,
and that is the reason it is so
helpful in consumption where
its use must be continuous.

OUR RALEIGH l EITCR.
Legislature Nearlng Close Much Work
to Be Done Vrl What Is Being
Done
ConvxiNitult'iit u Tlif Cmirlfi.
ltaleigh. Kebittary H. The gen
eral assembly tit-irtiii the last three
i weeks of the session today, i unless it
'is extended fur some exli'nordiniii
reason ) with a great ileal of the must
important work yet before II, iiii-hiil-ing
the revenue n'ml inntdiiiierv act
and the appropriation bills.
The joint committer on liiiimee
completed t he draft of the ivveiiu
bill the latter part of the week jn?i
passed and tc is at this wri'iug in ihr
hands ot the printer. Copies will be
ready for the legislators this we. ,
and it will doubtless be pa.-sed wiUi
ottt consuming nearly as much lime
as in th" last legislature. Kor it is
largely a copy of the existing law,
though quite a number of amend
ments have Ijceu maile hy the 'Com
mittee. Most of them, however, ale
not important.
Anioiii' the chiinges, in which the
readers ot Ibis paper aie iulerestid,
the following are noted:
Tin- maximum lax on circuses is
incii.i Jed It ifioo to s.'ltiti perday,
win u a nieoii-ei ie is ,;tlached and
the price of ailiubsioii (including a
reserved seall exceeds 75 cents; those
that charge not exceeding t' cents
and which carry more than lifted)
cars, $2011; less than lifteeii cars, $.10.
On all side shows $."io.
The proceeds of leaf tobacco, cot
ton and other farm products are ex
empted in the new bid fioin the tax
on incomes.
A tax of $5 is imposed (in section
31) on oculists and opticians. At
present they are exempt.
Section 30, which levies a tax of
Hit) in every county on peddlers of
stoves, ranges and.clocks, is strength
ened in an effort to catch those thai
now sell "by sample" and thus evade
the law.
An inlditioii.il lax of $2. is impos
ed on livery .-.table men when they
eiignue in the i.le of horses or niwles
also
An auiendii.eiit to seel ion 11, ped
dlers, inereaM- the tax from $10 lo
$2" on peddlers on foot and from
$20 to if-lo on those with horse, mule
or ox, with or without a vehicle.
This section is also amended so as lo
impose this tax on peddlers of drugs
or medicines, even though the articles
they handle are of their own inaiitt
ficture. Ex-Confederale soldiers
are exempted f'o n the tax.
A tax of $" is levied on persons
who do not pay the lawyer's tax and
who write legal instruments for pay.
The tax on "dealers in cotton
futures" is increased one htiiuhed
per cent, or just double the present
tax. L'nder the new law this tax
vvi'l range from $200 (m towns of
less than $5,000 population) to $7ot)
(in cities with u population exceed
ing lo,000i.
The purchase lax on merchants in
the present law (section tifiv is strick
en bodily from the new bill. About
$33,000 per anuniii has been realized
from this tax. Merchants will con
tinue to pay the pi ivilege tax, how
ever, as heretofore, but will pay no
purchase tax hereafter.
To section 87 "duties of sheiiil"
(in cases of violations of law when
licensti taxes are not paid) the fol
fowing additional proviso was added:
"Provided further, that the sheriff
shall not be liable for false arrest or
for wrougfully levyitig upon any
property under this section, unless it
shall appear that the eherilt did so
maliciously."
A new section suggested hy the
state treasurer in reference to agents
and others being required to produce
the original or duplicate of their
licenses to the sheriff of each county
in which they offer to do business,
has been incorporated in the revenue
bill.
ASlsESSil EMT Of ISTAStillll.K I'HO
I'EKTY. Section 48 (manner of assessment)
was amended so that instead of local
assessors making assessments of cor
poration property described in this
section the corporation commission
will make the assessment so there
will be one instead of over 100 as
sessors as heretofore.
Section 55 of the precnt machin
ery act is stricken out entirely and
in its stead the following is substi
tuted: "See. 55. Tangible and intangible

be added, however, that this latter
sum is not to be taken directly from
I he state treasury, b:it is to come out
of the slate prison fund, the amount
being mailable from the net earnings
of that institution.
Then there are to We added the
pres-ing (and not to be evaded) de-
ucinds of the two hospitals for the
insane, and which the press and
people of North Carolina are almost
iinaiiimouslv tir;iug: the needs of the
Col lege of Agriculture and Mechanic

lums for the blind and (lie deal' and

money for worthy objects. W here
all this money is to conic from no
one can say, except thiougli a bond
issue. Hesidi'S under the circum
stances. t'is is the proper way to
meet and relieve the situation, and I
believe a majority of the legislators
ire already convinced ot the lacl.
DTIIKIt l.KolM.ATIM-: NOTE.
After a lengthy discussion extend
ing over two davs the House has
passed and the Senate will probably
pass the tirahani bill increasing the
number of challenges in capital cases
allowed the slate and decreasing the
number allowed the defense. The
new law reduces the challenges of
the defendant from 20 to 12 and al
lows the stale four, but takes from
the s'ate the right to stand jurors at
the foot of the panel.
The house has also passed the Mc
Ninth divorce bill, which is designed
to reform the present "lax" divorce
laws, for abandonment for tvvo years,
etc. This bill puts the ground for
divorce back to the liiblical cause.
There has been a gieat demand for
the passage of a law of this charac
ter from the moral and religious
forces of the state and nearly or
quite ewry religious body in the
state has sent memorial to this legis
lature on the subject. The bill will
probably pass the Senate also without
amendment.
The passage of the immigration
bureau bill in the Senate, practically
without opposition, gives much satis
faction and it is believed the meas
ure will as readily go through the
House probably this week.
The House on Saturday passed the
Senate bill providing the machinery
for the governor of this sUle to grant
pardons conditionally and it is now
the law.
It is becoming more apparent every
day that the successful business men
and companies and corporations are
growing more and more careful not
to employ jack-legs or incompetent
persons ti do their work, be it what
it may. One of the most striking
illustrations of '.ids is that while the
want columns of the newspapers
daily contain advertisements of situ
ations wanted the graduates of the
leading business college of tUe state
(Kings) locab'd here are all placed
in desirable positions as fast as they
graduate ami become litted to proper
ly the duties that will be exacted of
them. This college now has a veiy
larcrc number of students from all
over Noith Carolina and other states.
Much interest is felt in the forth
coming debate between Trinity Col
lege and Kai.ilolpli-Alacon vvnicn is
to come off at Ashland, Va., on
Washington's birthday, February 22.

Mr Tims li Foils t, who is the sup

and is distributing to some extent a
booklet on the "1'ioress of Public
Education in Guilford county."
This publication should command
the interest and excite the pride of
every citizen of the county. It
shows that the annual school fund

there are now substantial two ami

with epigrammatic seiittne.es and
may be summed up in this wise:
"It has been said that it is better
to be born lucky than rich, but il is
in fact better to be born tough than
either lucky or rich. After forty

more pure water and keep the peri

foolish. Fat less and play more.
Indulge in less fret and fume and
more fret and fun. There are pco
pie too indolent to he healthy liter
ally too lazy to live. Work your
brains and keep in touch with peo
ple. l)o something for others and
forget vourselves. There is nothing
so in.-ane and de'.miicntiil to mind
and health as the conversation of
people 011 their aches and pains and

the Progressive Farmer, take some
lirstclass poultry paper. Let the
iris charge the family with all the
'gs and fowls used at home and
keep an account of sales. In this
way the father will get a valuable
lesson as to value of poultry 'is well
as of gills. Hear iu mind that two
dozen turkeys averaging 1 pounds
each are now worth as much as a
bale of cotton. Another suitable
business for girls is raising bees and
honey. That is light work and quite
retiiniieiative in go ml honey years.
A girl might have a liking for cattle
and then she should have charge of
the milk and butter. That would
be an excellent trainingjfor girls and
would be worth much to them when
settled in homes of their own. It is

WASHINGTON LETTER.
The First Statue of a Woman Placed in
Statuary Hall is that of Miss Fran
ces Willard One Hundred Mil
lion Dollar Appropriation
Bill fllhr Matters.
Kri,iiir,wi.-.,rri's..i.l"iil.
Washington, Kebiuary 0. The
fust statue of a woman to bo placed
iu Statuary Hall was unveiled last
Friday. The person thus distin
guished is Miss Fiances Klizabeth
Williard, "the uncrowned itieeii of
virtue and temperance." The old
hall of the House of lb-prcsctilativc?,
occupied by that body before the new
wing containing I he present chamber
was buill. is set a part as a hall of
fame. Iu this hall each State is al
lowed to place two statues of citizens
of that Stale who may seem worthy
of such honor. Nor'h Carolina, by
the way, has never accepted the priv
ilege. The State of Illinois pteseiits
this statue of Miss Williard us one of
the two to which that Slate is en
tilled. The unveiling ceremonies
were exceedingly interesting. The
ladies of the city, together with many
who had come long distance' to be
present, were out ill great, numbers,
and hundreds of school children
marched by each dropping a llovver
at the base of the statue. Memorial
exercises were held in both branches
of Congress, and the life and work of
of Miss Williard was eulogized in
thy highest terms by a number of
Senators and licprcscntutivcs. This
modest, svieet-faced woman looks
rather lonely standing amid so many
warriors and statesmen: but this very
fact, makes her the cynosure of all
g eves, and standing here
through the centuries her marble
form will continue to preach her
great themes of purity and temper
ance to the generations that come
and go.
The naval appioprialiou bill has
been under discussion for the past,
week, and will probably he passed by
the House today. This bill curries
more than one hundred million :lol-
Mr I 'age has been making I
some rather interesting ligtires to
illustrate the magnitude of this sum, 1
and calls in v attention to the fact
that this one appropriation would
be siillicieut to build a fifty thousand
dollar public buildiiiir iu every town
in the L'li'ted States with i.aiio in
habitants nm. over. Vet it is only
annual appmpiiation for a part
of I'ncle Sam's ''big stick," and an
appropriation that grows bigger with
each passing year.
The statehood bill, which as it
passed the Senate creates the slate
of Oklahoma composed of Indian
Ti rritory and Oklahoma Territory,
and makes New Mexico a state, leav
ing Arizona out altogether- th" lull
iu this shape is now iu (he hands of
the conference committee, and there
it will likely be strangled to death,
as Speaker Cannon has set his head
that the House will not accept the
Senate amendments.
At the reipiest of (iovernor (ileiiH.
Senator Overman has been coiifcr
ing with the Senators and licpresen
lalives from South Oakota with re
ference fo the report that 'hat State
is preparing to buy other North
Carolina bonds. He learns that a
bill looking to this has passed the
South Ihikota senate, but has not
passed the house, and he is assured
that the bill will not pass the house,
and that South Oakola does not pto-po.-c
to be made a cat's paw any
longer to serve tile interests of the
Shyloiks leprcscntcd by the l!us-sell-llnllcr
crowd. While ibis is
tin: expectation and the desire of
South I la kola's delegation in Con
gress, t hey of course have no power
to bind Hie Slate authorities to fol
low this course. There is no likeli
hood that our Senators will attempt
lo secure any Congressional act ion
in the matter, as suggested in (iov
ernor Clenn's letter, for the obvious
reiiM in that Congress will not be
guilty of 1 he impropriety of de
nouncing a state for doing what
the Supreme Court has already said
that State has a constitutional right
to do, how ever much the action of
such a State may be deplored.
