WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8. 1917 NO. 26 THE LEGISLATURE. of the votes at the next general More than half of the session election. - " has pas ied and n'ght sessions are The Senate judiciary committee being held occasionally in orcer hid a most unique hearing at i s to transacj: businesi in time to meeting last Friday.

The 91 to 7, and will no doubt be i Croatans claimed to b'e descend passed by the Senate by an al- j ants of Cherokee Indians who most unanimous vote. And ,hid settled ia Robsson, while the particularly gratifying to all friends of temperance is the fact that this bill was voted for by both Democrats and Republicans without any political or partisan bias. As passed by the House the bill doe not go into force and effect until the first of JuneJ next.. The abolition of the near beer saloons will be a happy rid dance of a great nuisance. The House has passed (as a joke, we must presume,) a bill introduced by Judge Ewart (the Republican leader) to levy a tax in his county (Henderson) of one dollar on dogs, justices of the peace and bachelors. He said in advocacy of his bill that dogs are killing sheep, scratching fleas and spreading hydrophobia all over the county; bachelors are afflicting the county and retard ing progress and growth in spite of the fact that Henderson has the prettiest girls in the world and justices of the peace, more than a hundred of them, are af flicting the county and the State with cost of books and other sup plies to which they are entitled by reason of their office. The "new-county" question is still unsettled and is causing much discussion. Another new county, in addition to those here tofore mentioned, is being asked for. It is to be formed out of parts of Wake, Nash, Frar.klin and Johnston to be named "Ran som.'' There is no probability of this bill being passed. The bill to create Hoke county out of parts of Cumberland and Robe son passed the Senate by a large majority and it is now thought that it will pa?3 the House. It is not thought that "Pied mont" will be created . and "Avery" is now in doubt The advocates of Hoke county were wise in pushing their bill ahead of all other proposed new counties. A bill has been introduced in the House to forbid putting fel on's stripes on persons convicted of misdemeanors. This bill o eight to be passed, for it is not right to humiliate or degrade as a felon a person who may be convicted of a simple assault or other petty misdemeanor, that involves no moral turpitude. - The House has passed by a con siderable majority the bill to amend our divorce law so as to put a wife on an equal footing with the husband in obtaining, a divorce on the ground of adul tery. While such a bill seems only just and right, yet it may make much easier the obtaining of divorces, and would (we fear) cause many more divorces to be granted. The passage of this bill bv the Senate is doubtful. Charokees present insisted that they were not Cherokees and wore not entitled to the name. The chief of the Cherokaas could not sp2ak English and an inter preter wa3 necessary. We are surprised that the Rob eson Croatans should now claim to be descendants of Cherokees, for they had heretofore claimed to be descendants of the "Lost Colony" of Roanoke Island. We suspect that this attempt to change their name is an effort to secure a part oi the government mono, that is annually paid to the Cherokees. . - We wish to commend the ac tion of Speaker Dowd in refus ing, last week, to appoint two more so-called "laborers" in the House, although requested to do so by a pstition signed by over ninety members of the .House. The truth is, more "laborers" have beerl appointed already than any need for, and the number should be decreased instead of increased. MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE. Trial by jury has long been re garded as one of the bulwarks of liberty and has long been the boast of the English-speaking people, and therefore when a jury grossly perverts justice by a ver dict the public mind and con science is shocked. Miscarriages of justice too often occur by ju ries acquitting murderers and other criminals, and such miscar riages are calculated to bring into disrepute our boasted "trial by jury" of which all Americans are proud- A recent miscarriage of jus tice occurred at Wilmington last week when the jury acquitted a prisoner whose attorney had of fered to plead guilty of murder in the second degree if no longer sentence than ten years was passed on him! No wonder the presiding judge could not restrain his just and righteous indigna tion and severely censured the jury for such a verdict! Heavy Sncw ia Washington.

There are three factors which determine whether or not a teach er is entitled to a certificate in the first year's course in the reading eircle: (1) To have read the recitation. Idylls of the King and North Carolina Education. (2) to have stood successfully the examination on Theory and Practice of Teaching; (3) attend ance upon the meetings of the county teachers' associations.

Pub. Ins. Pittsboro, Feb. 6, 1911. voted on next general proposition as desirability of reciprocity with Canada is opposed bv a Senator from Texas and the speaker of the House from Illinois and by a recently elected Senator from Massachusetts; and all have some backing in Congress. Senator Bailey, of Texas, and Senator Brown, of Nebraska, have both given the Senate to understand that they are itching to filibuster and it is evident that within the three short weeks remaining the appropriation bills cannot be passed without making conces sions to recalcitrant elements in Congress; The president wants a tariff commission. The Democratic ma jority that will control the House after March 4th wants no tariff commission, but wants to pass a tariff bill of their own invention and constructiou, though how they can do it with the Senate and white house in opposition, no man and not even any woman knoweth. There is prospect of the pass age or a homeopathic parcels post bill. Well, let us be thank ful for small favors. i"or many years the monarchies of Europe have enjoyed an excellent post bill, as also some of the semi barbaric nations of Asia In 'fact, it seems that this blessing is pos sible in nearly all the despotisms of the old world. But in our own despotism of interests with rep resentatives in Congress it can not be had. With forty thousand rural mail carriers with their pockets barely full of letters and newspapers, many of them driv carts or four wheelers, an excel letttequipment for carrying pack ages of eleven pounds each to the farmers and other rural res-H idents, this blessing necessary to country people and necessary to the Postmaster General in order to enable him to extinguish the postoifice deficit, is not attainable- It is too good for Ameri can citizens. Reciprocity as the next thing to free international trade would be the next best thing in the worU. With reciprocity, fleets and armies might be discharged, custom houses abandoned, taxes reduced to one-fifth their pres ent enormity, and living ex penses turned back to the mini mum cost of our great-grandfather days. The reason this coun try is superlatively prosperous today is because of the unham pered reciprocity between the States. Then why not a little reciprocity with our. good north ern neighbor? Why? Because of Congress, politics and the devd. How long will Americans be beguiled with the lie that we are a free country when we are governed by a bedlam legislative body, many of the units of which are incapable of looking much beyond the little corners of the nation in which their several dis tricts are situated. But this is not the whole of the ugly truth. Many of them are under the influence and the pay directly or indirectly of the the corporations that have con tributed to send them to Wash ington. They are not vthe rep resentatives of the people, but the attorneys of trusts who serve their masters by robbing the people. How otherwise could the United States be so long be hind the monarchies of Europe and Asia in the enjoyment of a cheap parcels post? Give us re ciprocity, give us a parcels post, give us free coal, free lumber, free wool, free raw material and 'free cooked material.

Gov. Hadley, who led the fire fighters in person, was one of the heroes of the town today although the great est amount of praise was be stowed upon the convicts. Par ions will be granted several of the convicts as a reward for their work. The convict fire fighting team has been congratulated by the citizens for their daring and be cause not one male an effort to escape.

A remarkable family of vegetari ans has been discovered living in the North Woods, three miles from here. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Tyler and their three children live entirely on uncooked vegetables. Raw potatoes, turnips, parsnips, cab bage and onions are a large part of their diet. - Cereals are eaten uncooked. Their son, O. B. Joy ful Tyler, a pupil in the Russell school, has never eaten meat or drank tea or coffee in his life. They have a daughter, Lucy Drinkwater Tyler, who eats six raw potatoes for luncheon. How to cure a cold is a question in which many are interested just now. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has won its great reputation and immense sale by its remarkable cure of colds.
