widows named in it were in county

step, came up and was passed.
A bill passed to abolish the rail
road commission, only one, vote
being cast against it. A bill then
passed to establish the North CaK
ohna corporation commission, of
three members, to be elected by
this legislature. This board sue
ceeds the present railroad commis
- sion. Mr. Allen offered an amend
ment allowing free passes to be
given members of the board, and
members of the geological survey,
and to give the board power to re
quire railroads to lower or raise
their tracks at street crossings in
cities and towns. These were
adopted. . Mr. Allen, of Wayne,
said the bill gives all the powers to
the board which the railroad com
mission has had and enlarges them,
and also gives control of building
and loan association business and
of banking. . The bill passed, the
f unionists voting no.
At the night session bills passed
m a mm m
penses when in attendance upon
board meetings; to provide for the
election of agricultural commis
sioner by the people and to reor

ment; to incorporate .the Metho
dist orphanage at Raleigh.
A bill was introduced providing
for the appropriation of $6,000 for
the dangerous insane, to be used in
fitting up the wards at the state's
prison. j
The election law came up as
special orders Fourteen separate
amendments were offered by Sena
tor Franks. These provided for a
full representation of the Bepubli
cans and Populists on the election
board and that the registrars
should make oath before justices
of the peace to faithfully perform
the duties according to law. The
amendments were lost.
Senator Glenn offered an amend
ment, which was accepted.1 It
provides that seven instead of 1 five
discreet persons shall compose
State board of elections The
amendment was accepted. At some
length Senator Glenn then paid his
respects to the Republicans and
fusionists. He was not compli
mentary in the least. The Senator
stated, among other things, that
the Democratic party was perfectly
willing to accept the responsibility
a ' a . a a- . ' m.
lor the act. it was white men's
work, and meant white supremacy.
At the conclusion of his remarks
he called for the previous question.
The vote on the .bill stood 39 ayes
and 6 noes. Senators Campbell,
Crisp, Franks, Fuller, Goodwin and
Newsome voting in the negative.
m t - - a a '
ine Stevens anti-trust Dill came
up at 1.30 with a favorable report
from the , judiciary committee.
Senator Daniels said that he want
ed stricken out an amendment pro
viding that the act do not apply to
agricultural implements and arti
cles used on the farm. He believed
that this provision as a part of the
bill might leave the farmers at the
mercy of trusts and combines.
Senator Brown offered the fol
lowing amendment to be added to
section 11: "But no person or firm
shall be deemed to be the agent of
a trust because of the Bale of trust
manufactured goods, when the said
person or firm buys said goods and
sens me ' same as nis or its own
property." This amendment was
adopted. The bill passed its second
reading, and was re-f erred to the
judiciary committee ufor careful
consideration."
House, March 2. The resolution
allowing the joint committee to sit
not Over 15 days, and investigate,
during the legislative recess, the
agricultural department, was tak
en up. It allows the committee, in
case this Legislature does not meet
in 1900, to report to the next legis
lature. Mr. Overman opposed the
resolution, saying the new Board
of Agriculture could investigate;
that it would be a Democratic
board, etc. He also said he dis
liked the idea of haying a recess;
that the people had not forgotten
tne Arrington committee. The
resolution, which "the Senate had
adopted, was then defeated. .
The bill to authorize the issue of
bonds in aid of the penitentiary
was taken up on third reading,
with an amendment that the in
come from the two farms pur
chased shall be applied to the in
terest on the bonds. The whole
matter is put in charge of the new-
Democratic executive board of the
State's prison. Mr. Foushee.' ex
plained the bill, sayincr all leases
ought to be abandoned; that four
Iarms had lost money nnnnallv
while the Northampton and Caledo
nia farms had made money. There
is no order to purchase these
farms, but it is left to discretion of
the board. He added that another
bill was on its way, which would
provide for the issue of $50,000 In
bonds to carry on the penitentiary
during the present year. The bill
passed without debate. The vote
was yeas 52, nays 13. It carries
$205,000, of which $110,000 is to
pay the penitentiary debt and $95,
000 for the ! purchase of the two
farms above named.
A joint session of the house and
senate was held in the afternoon to
consider tha case of J. W. and S.
Otho Wilson, who had been sus
pended by Governer Russell from
the railroad commission. After
considerable discussion the report
or. the committee that had investi
gated the case was sustained, thus
vindicating both of the Wilson.

They Worry Too Much and Do Hot
Take Enough Best.
In a recent lecture in New York
Mrs. Augusta Baymond Kider said :
"A mistake of women is that
they -do not allow themselves to
rest. What women do not know
about eating and resting has built
40,000 hospitals. Another of wom
en's mistakes is not knowing how
to eat. Consider the ways of men
in this respect and be wise. An
other mistake is worrying. Some
women remind me of children who
plant seeds in the garden and dig
them up the next day to see how
they are prospering. We all re
member the old woman who said :
'Yes, dearie, I've had an awful lot
of trouble in my life and most of it
I neyer happened.'
"Is one of our mistakes talking
too much? I fear it is. And an
other is not having enough fun
Nearly every woman is a miser of
jollity. Men are willing to catch
pleasure as it flies. But women
must have everything just so be
fore they can abandon themselves
to enjoyment, and then they are
usually too tired to take it. This
goes beyond h?ing a mistake. It'i
a disease, but, fortunately, not in
curable. Women say it is easy to
talk this way, but that one can't be
laughing when one is hurried and
worried. All that I can say is that
you might be as hurried, but you
wouldn't be as worried if jou did
laugh. I happened once to speak
of my husband to a little girl, and
she said: . ' .
" Why, I didn't think you
were
married.' ,
" Why?' I asked.
" Oh, 'cause'
Cause why?'
'Cause you laugh bo much.'
ti
"wasn't tnat a commentary on
matrimony ! And now a word
about marriage, which is not
mistake, though weddings often
' m n a a
are, lor every wedding is not a
marriage. In this connection let
me speak about jealous women. It
is a large subject, but a lew words
about it are as good as many, for
people with that disease seldom
listen to advice. The conclusion
. a , . a m.
tnat l come to is tnat jealousy un
der any circumstance is useless.
The only thing to be done when
one thinks one has grounds for the
feeling is the last, thing they are
likely to do; that is, to be so
charming and altogether lovely
that the rival would be routed as
an entirely inferior person. Some
women, however, think they are
jealous when they are really only
selfish. With a case where there
is real cause for this mental an-
guisn x snouia, or. course, oe una-
oie to cope. Aiartyraom or a
clergyman and the family lawyer
would be the remedy, I suppose.
But I recommend a little whole
some introspection to find out
whether, after all, it may be only
another mistake. '
mi -
"ine last mistake is tnat we are
too prone to take offense at little
things. We indulge in too many
petty misunderstandings among
ourselves. Men don't do this. Let
u 8 emulate them in it. We appre
ciate men's merits, and we can't do
better than to imitate those we dis
cern. As a rule, women admire
men as much as men admire them
selves. Human admiration can go
no further."
' The Next Census.
ine reports or. tne tentn census,
says the Philadelphia Ledger, were
not completed until more than nine
years alter tne enumeration, and
the reports of the eleventh census
were not published until more than
eight years after the statistics had
been gathered. The new bill pro
vides that the final report upon
the twelfth census shall be pub
lished complete within two years.
Enumeration of population is to
m m
begin June 1, 1900, and to be com
pleted within fifteen days in the
cities and thirty days in the coun
try, but additional time is to be al
lowed for the gathering of infor
mation respecting mining, manu-
factures, agriculture and like sub
jects. The census bureau is to
be taken away from the sup
ervision of the Secretary of the In
terior, and the director of the cen
sus is to make appointments with
out reference to civil service rules,
although he may institute "pass"
examinations for certain positions.
The plea under which v the merit
ey 8 tern is set aside is that most of
the employes will be enumerators
appointed for a brief period,: and
that it is not advisable to place
the remaining employes under the
civil service classification- The
National Civil Service Reform
League has submitted to Congress a
strong memorial protesting against
the application of spoils methods
to so essentially a business under
taking as the compilation of the
census.

Great Attention Being Given Affairs
Along This Line in the South.
Baltimore, March 2. Greater
attention than e'ver is being given
in the South to the subject of dl
versification of industriesparallel
ing the development and enlarge
ment of operations of those that
have been established for years.
In the cotton industry a' typical
fact about the increasing tendency
toward advance in operations is' the
determination of the 'Merrimac
Manufacturing Company, of Low
ell, Mass., to establish a branch in
Alabama, and the additional fact
that the company would not con
sider any location which would not
give it. room enough and water
enough to expand to a plant of
200,000 Bpindles capacity. There
are other notable examples in Ala
bama of the appreciation of New
England capitalists of the advant
ages to the textile industry, of con
tiguity to the cotton fields and to
the sources of fuel, the labor sup
plies and other needful 1 things.
The establishment of these large
mills will have either one of two
beneficial results, or both'. For ex
ample the establishment some
years ago of a $2,000,000 cotton
mill in South Carolina has ad
vanced more than $2,000,000 the
value of farm lands within a ra
dius of ten miles, and the farmers
have found in the community! of
5,000 people dependent for a living
upon the operations of the mill, an
increased market for their pro
ducts. The other result to be ex
pected is the growth of other in
dustries around the pioneer. I In
some communities, as at Greens
boro, N. C with the conception1 of
an industry like the flannel mill,' to
be equipped with 12,000 spindles
and 300 looms, other industries
will be found in successful opera
tion, though the opportunities for
additional ones will be by no
means limited thereby, j The fu
ture of cotton milling in the South
is still great, and preparations for
an investment of $30,000 for new
machinery and for general im-
. - - - i (
provements by tbe Whitney, S. C,
Manufacturing Company, the ad
dition of 8,000 spindles and 350
looms capacity by the Cannon
Manufacturing Company of Con

Monument to Beauregard.
The proposition to erect a monu
ment in New Orleans to the memory
of the late General Beauregard,
one of the distinguished chiefs of
toe Confederate army in the war
between the States, is again being
agitated. Some time ago an effort
was made to collect funds for the
purpose, and $4,000 was secured
and safely invested. This was not
deemed sufficient to erect a monu
ment worthy of the distinguished
soldier, and since then nothing has
been done in the matter. An effort
will now be made to secure addi
tional funds. General Beauregard
was a native and for a large part
of his life a resident of Louisiana.
It is strange," says the New Or
leans Times-Democrat, "that Louis
iana, which has erected monuments
to Robert . Lee, Albert . Sidney
Johnston and other Confederate
leaders, should have neglected the
most distinguished Louisianian
that served in the Confederate
army. j
