THURSDAY, JAN. 24, 1907. H A. LONDON, Editor. Our present General Assembly is a working body of legislators, who have got down to business more uromptlv than is usual with our .Legislators generally. The committees are busy consul- j Lee died and is buried. In this erinz the many bills that have J addivss, which was one of the been introduced and are making ' finest tributes to Lee delivered good progress. Thus far not much anywhere, Mr. Adams declared time has been wasted with useless ; that if he had been in Gen. Lee's speech-making, although already place at the outbreak of the war a few of the members have des-; he would have acted just as Gen. troyed what little influence they j Lee had acted in resigning from niiht have had by too much , the United States army and go speaking. The most useful legis- iog with his stale. . Sooner or lator is not the one who talks later the whole world will appre (simply to be heard) on nearly (ciate the fact that the Southern every question t hat comes up, but j soldiers were in no sense "rebels,'' the one who works hardest in the ; but were patriots and heroes, the committee room. j equals of any the world has ever Only a few bills of a public na- j produced! tnre or of general interest have j thus far been passed.

J - cernedm cases of rape or assault with intent to commit rape. One of the most important bills yet introduced is the bill intro duced in the Senate by Senator Aycock, providing for the punish ment of pools, trusts and con spiracies to control prices, and a to evi dence in such cases. The Senate has passed a bill to pro Tent the exposure and sale of in decani -pictures and device nud to prohibit the exhibition of ob scene and immoral shows. Several bills have been intro duced in the Senate and House in regard to railroads. Some of them reduce passenger rates, some re quire railroads to make certain connections and operate addition al trains, and one provides for the punishment of employees of rail roads who by their negligence cause a wreck. All these bills will be considered today at a joint meeting of the Senate and House committees, when many promi nent railroad officials will be pres ent and address the committees. The editors of the state are stirred up over the bills introduc ed, one by Senator Graham and the other by Speaker Justice, for bidding newspapers to receive transportation iu payment of ad vertising the schedules of the railroad companies, as was author ized by an act of the last Legisla ture. Of course there is no sensi ble reason why an editor should not be allowed io receive trans portatiou instead of money for advertising for a railroad com pany. The Legislature might as well forbid editors from receiving wood from farmers instead of money in payment of their sub-, scription! Senatoii Simmons has been re elected United States Senator from this State. On last Tues day, as required by law, the Sen ate and House voted separately and next day there was a joint meeting of the Senate and House at which the vote vu3 announced and Mr. Simmons was declared dulv elected. formally I i lhe Democratic caucus, which i nominated Senator Simmons as held on T,W n;.rU -i - - - m 1 1 u j we?k, and he received ever v ' j vote axeept four, which wore given to Chief Justice Walter Clark, who, however, was not a candidal e. Senator bnamoiis deserved this ery complimentary and will no doubt prove worthy of it. eudorse;neiit continue to The bitterness against the South, which was engendered by the War between the States, is now almost obliterated, and re cently there were two notable proofs or instances that deserve notice. One is the passage by the Sen ate of the United States of a reso lution to call our great war the "Civil War" and no longer to stigmatize it as the "Rebellion." It cannot be truthfully called a rebellion, becauwi t& hcc(;hhiou of the Sout sense an insurrection. no The other is the tribute paid to Hep. Iee on last Saturday by prominent meuof the North. The President .of the United States wrote a letter to be read last Sat urday at the Lee memorial meet ing in Washington, which was very complimentary of Gen. Lee and very creditable to the Presi dent, and which no President of the United States would have written twenty or niore years ago. Another distinguished North erner, Hon. Charles Francis Ad ams, of Massachusetts, delivered the address at the celebration at ; Lexington, Virginia, where Gen. , tue road would be blocked for J perhaps a week. ! Louis Hill, lirsi vice president of the Great Northern, who left j here Saturday night got as far as iSkikotuish., 5 miles from Seatlie. J He was held there ail day and I night. The snow in the Cascades lis considered the worst in the i history of the road. Aloro than ' twenty feet of snow has fallen in ; the vicinity of the Cascade tun nel. Frequent slides have torn joufe the track in manv places. Negro Rioi. Law ton, Okla., Jan. 22. A ne gro riot, created by Lane Dixon, colored, reputed to be a discharg ed soldier from the 23th infantry at Fort Reno, last night resulted in the death of Nat Marshall, col ored, the wounding of Dixon, and sever.il other negroes and the ar rest of fifty negroes. Marshall, owner of the gamb ling resort in which the negroes had congregated, and Dixon en gaged in a quarrel over a crap game. Their fight drew others in and a pitched battle resulted. The tight was so desperate that all the officers of Lawton were called up on to put a stop to it and make the arrests. Entire Family Dead. Calgary, Alberta, Jan. 21. A tragedy, the details of which prob ably never will be known, has wiped out the entire family of Edward Ferdinand, proprietor of a tannery. The police broke into the house and found Ferdinand dead in bad, the dead body of a newly born infant at his side, while the dead body of Mrs. Fer dinand lay on the floor near the bed. In another bed were three young boys still alive but so se verely frozen that they soon died. The supposition is that the fami ly was overcome by the coal gas, that the wife recovered sufficient ly to attempt to lix the pipes and died. Tho boys probably were overcome by gr-s and recovered on I v. to be frozen- Stricken With Paralysis. ? the I!aitfiti Tinuig. .Serial High Point, Jan. 18.

More than thirteen million of men in the United States are available for military service, according to the report of the military sec retary of the army concerning the militia, which has just been made public. Of this number 112,390 men are organized in state militia and ready for immediate mil i tar' duty. In the aggregate strength of its organized militia New York leads with 1-1,711 and Pennsylvania is noxt with 9,830, Illinois is third with G,(13. Fatal Railroad Collision. Fowler, Ind., Jan. 19.

Electrical .Fr0mTh6??ewYoikTr,brne- . ! engineers and fire underwriters The Pure-Food law went into interested in the Union Stock effect this month, and everywhere Yards have become alarmed over there is hurry and worry in ef the advent of un-identified larvae ! forts to comply with it.

Holes an inch long and half an inch wide have been cut through one-tenth inch thickness of lead pipes. The "lead pipe cinch" bug is the designation given the creature by Director Fred. J. V. Skiff, of the Field Columbian Museum, in whose entomological laboratory this little lead eater is under ob servation. It is in the "hoof house" at the yards that the little creature has appeared in millions. These hous es are for the storage of hoofs that are under way in the process toward glue manufacture. Iu the houses the floors are of wood, three or four inches thick. Yet this little worm has honeycombed them in its search for lead pipe. So great have been the ravages of these larvae upon the lead in- i i i i pi r suiatiou m cue nouse oi noois that alreadv new installations of electric wires are being conducted in gas-pipe protections.

Jieard for per sonal injuries received by hiru while he was acting as conductor on one of tho Southern's trains, Deputy Sheriff Weatberly went down yesterday and levied on the passenger depot. He was pre paring to sell the building when the attorneys for the Southern learned of the stafe of affairs, and went to see the officer. After a conference between them the matter was adjusted and the plaintiff in the case got a check for the amount due him. The Grip "Defore we can sympathize with others, we must have suffered our selves."" No one can realize the suffering attendant upon an at tack of the grip, unless he has had the actual experience. Thi;e is probably no disease that causes so much physical and mental ago ny, or which so successfully de fies medical aid. All danger from the slip, however, maybe avoided by the prompt use of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy, not one case has ever bsen reported that has resulted in preumonia or that has not recov ered. For sale by G. R. Pilking ton. Flood at Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Jan. 19. With the crest of the flood water in the Ohio Itiver not yet in sight, ' the liood loss iu Cincinnati and its vicinity is .-$300,000 up to tonight. About 15,000 persons have been driven to higher lands. Nearly fifty squares in Newport, a dozen in Covington and large areas iu the east end and in the mill creek quarter of Cincinnati ,aro under water. This forenoon the stage of the Ohio Itiver at this point was 62 feet, the highest since February, 1881. The "Florida Special1' on the Seaboard Air Line was wrecked near' Raleigh one night last week, and three costly Pullman cars J were destroyed by lire, igniting from a gasolene explosion. No body was killed, aud only .two or three slightly hurt.

Ele- Tifsfi gantry sugar coated. Take No Substitute. floor of the Public Stores Build ing in this city, where 11. E. Doo little, chief of the bureau, is in creasing his working force, and there is hurry in printing offices all over the eountrj-, where labels guaranteed to tell the truth, the j whole truth and nothing but the truth about the things that peo ple eat are being turned from the presses by the tens of thousands, and still not fast enough to sup ply the demand for them. For, though makers and dealers are al lowed until October 1 in which to change the principal labels, all stickers and supplementary labels must be put on at once. These labels form an interest ing study and are calculated to bring blank dismay to the face of not a few who read them when neatly pasted on the bottles, cans and boxes they are intended for on drugstore aud grocery shelves. The labels will also unmask that fiction so long maintained under which so much cottonseed oil has been sold for pure olive oil made abroad. The law is also strict about the use of the names of localities on food products, and unless New Jersey tomatoes are reallv from New Jersev. .and Vcr- iinont syrups really from Vermont, and Java or M.ocha- coilV-e really from Java or Mocha, it will be a violation of the law to label them as such. Imitation maple syrup, honey, spices and such products must be so labeled. The law also requires that the real name of the inanufacturer hail alone ar Tat ion the- laoei. i ill Tomatoes that have tor years been koIu perhaps as "Smith's toma toes." though Smith himself is . beneath the sod, muht now be la- bolfd "Smith's brand," and those importers who have been selling in this country foodstuffs origi nally prepared by some foreign exporter, though now controlled by American capital, must aban don the foreign name. The law is especially strict con cerning the preparation and sale of confectionery. The use of min eral substances of all kinds, ex cept such as may have received the "O. K." of the Secretary of Agriculture, is specifically for bidden in confectiouey, whether the substances are poisonous or not, and only harmless colors or flavors may be used. The labels upon the candy boxes must be as truthful as those on food pack ages and tins. t In connection with the drug trade the new labels will bring to light some, interesting facts. Pare goric, so long administered to ba bies, according to the new labels, contains 4f per cent of alcohol and two grains of opium. Doubtless many mothers will prefer to rock their babies to sleep in the face of that dreadful label, which must hud a place on every bottle of paregoric sold. There art? many mixtures once familiar to the drug trade which the new law and Health Commissioner Darliugtou have forced out of New York, for the Health Commissioner has made it known to the drug trade that so-called "standard" mixtures must bear a label stating just the proportion of alcohol, opium, co caine and other substances they contain. Druggists all over the city are now busy pasting on stickers tell ing just what drugs these powders contain. Dufc it is hard, even in the face oi th3 requirements of the law. for the makers of these products to tell all that their be- 11 1 i n loveu powaers concaiu. j.or in stance, on one well-know kind of headache powder the sticker now being pasted reads like this: "Ihieh powder contains 3 grains ofacetanilid with other eiiicient remedies." The purchaser cannot but won der coiie.eve.ing the exact nature of "'the ether efficient remedies." . Mair.i;;vji.urers of food products are equally loth to completely I disillusionize the public concern ing their goods, though they dare! not openly deiy the law. This de sire to temporise has given birth to aoiue comical combinations in the wording of tha uew labels.. For instance, one well known brand of tomato catsup, long sold under the name of "Long Island Tomato Catsup," has now been named "ljong Island Style Toma to v, 'at sup." Horseradish long sold as "Long Island Horserad ish," is now "Long Island Brand Horseradish' The label on a familiar brand of ahid oil ap pears iu the suwe large type as before, "Warranted Pure Salad Oil," but below this the person with good eyesight can discern the significant legend "Pressed from selected cottonseed." A well known cough mixture now appears with this confession printed upon a sticker hugging tightly each bottle, sold: "Each teaspoonful contains 5 minims spirit chloro form and 1 10 gr. codein." A popular cholera mixture, to which many a sufferer has tiowu for re lief in the hot summer mnth?, ' , -..w.--, j For T txsBssossssz CB i j now greets the public with a stick- er attached to it announcing that there, is 70 per cent ; alcohol .an .m: grains o ounce. opium in every riuid Special Fates By Southern Railway.
