We are indebted to our senator, Whitehead Kluttz. Esq., who was president protem of the Senate and chairman of the committee on Counties, Cities and Towns, and who made a most excellent record during the session of the,,receut legislature, for the following outline of the laws passed for JJow an county by the recent General Assembly : The board of County Com mis-' sioners were authorized to submit to the qualified voters of the coun ty, at such time as they saw fit, the question of issuing $300,000 in bonds for the construction, repair and improvement of the roads of the county. This act is to be found in detail in chaptor 596 of the Public Laws of 1901 where it relates te Guilford county, the election having been held and that county covered with good roads under that act. It was enacted that Grant's creek, which has long been a men ace to health, should be drained from the Western North Carolina Railroad crossing to the outfall of the Salisbury sewer, the towns of Salisbury and Mpencer paying, the cost of the work in such preposi tion as the county Board of Health shall direct. The sewers of both towns have their outlets in this creek. The town of Woodleaf was in- corparated upon the petition of many citizens, an election being ordered at the usual time of hold ing town elections in May. The incorporation of the Salis bury Railway Company was the recognition of a big scheme which if successful will give Salisbury what she most needs, railroad competition. The proposed road, which is said to have large back- 1m TIT . irg, would run irom Winston to Salisbury, thence to Concord, thence to Monroe or Wadesboio, thence to Ruby, S C, the termi nus, where connection would be made with Cheraw . A glance at the map will show that such a road would connect with the Norfolk & Western, the Seaboard, and the Coast Line from its beginning to its terminus. Salisbury would be its center and T. J. Jerome, who represents the interests behind it, says it will be built. Should it pan out, Salisbury would probably become the first oity of the State in a few years. Here's hoping 1 The town of Spencer was author ized to issue $50,000 to purchase the water-works there and East Spencer to issue $25,000 for elec tric lights, water and side-walks, both issues to be submitted to pop ular vote. The Board of Water Commissioners of Salisbury were authorized, with the approval of the Board of Aldermen, to issue $50,000 in bonds for the improve ment and extension of the city Cannot Praise Pe-ru-na Highly Enough for the Good it Has Done Me. MRS. JOHN HOPP. MRS. JOHN HOPP, Webster Ave., Glendale, Ii. I., N. Y., writes : "I have been suffering for the past ten years with many symptoms inci dent to my age, also catarrh and indi gestion. I was weak and discouraged, had no ambition, could not sleep at night, and lost greatly in weight. "I tried other remedies, but with no success, until I commenced to take Pe runa. I now feel better in every re spect, can sleep well, and have gained in weight. I cannot praise Peruna highly enough for the good it has dono me. "If any women are suffering as I did, I would advise them to try Peruna and convince themselves. -Peruna has done me good. I know by my experience that it is- worth its weight in gold to any one who needs it. "I also took Manalin, for constipation, in connection with Peruna, and I found it helped me .where other laxatives failed." ' Now Well of Catarrh. Miss Malisa Jolley, Parmele, N. O writes: "I have been taking your Pe runa, and can say that I am well of the catarrh. "I thank you for your kindness and your ad vie." . 4 water-works and to pay $10,000 of existing indebtedness. It was rep resented to the Legislature, that this issue was absolutely necessary to protect Salisbury from fire and to make extensions immediately ; demanded by the growth" of the city. These bonds will be secured . by mortgage on the water-works and it is provided that the town shall not be liable to pay them in any event. The mode of selecting school trustees of Spencer, formerly a self-perpetueting body, ' was changed so as to gWe the people the right of election and amend- ( ments. to tha charter will expidite the collection of Spencer taxes. The charter of China Grove was amended to give the power to levy taxes for side walks and the char ter of Cleveland was also amended with reference to taxation. Lan- dis also received an amended char ter The chicken law for the county is a modified copy of an act which. has been in frrce'for ten years in Guilford, Catawba and at least twenty other counties in the State. It is said there has never been a prosecution under it as its ten dency and purpose is to prevent strife and litigation. When a neighbor is notified that his fowls are depredating upon valuable crops or gardens, he must keep his fowls at home under penaltv of having them killed. If he is noti fied a second time and fails to keep them from damage- feasaut. he may be fined five dollars. There is no imprisonment feature. An act which will help to expe dite business and secure trials within a reasonable time is that which provides court stenograph ers lor tne Superior Uourt. The act provides that when necessity demands in special cases such stenographers may be employed, the expense to be paid by the liti gants as directed by the court. Another court bill allows the civil docket to be called at Mav and November terms before the second week, it being thought that with the establishment of the Trial Justice Court for the county, the details of which have heretofore been printed, that civil cases can be reached during the first week of those terms. 0 ROGERS CLOTHING CO., J.
