THE LEGISLATURE.
The Legislature will adjourn
today at noon, the members, or
at least most of them, serving
four days after their pay ceased,
for which they deserve commen
dation, although those extra days
would not have been necessary
if there had not been so great a
delay in the earlier days of the
session. "
Almost to the very last bills of
a local nature were introduced
and consumed time that should
have been given to more impor
tant matters of general interest.
It may be safely asserted that
this Legislature passed more lo
cal bills than any of its prede
cessors, and this fact emphasized
the farce of Gov. Kitchin's re
commendation as to the neces
sity of an amendment to em
State constitution to relieve the
Legislature from such bills. It
was generally hoped and expect
ed that such an amendment
would be passed, or. rather pro
posed, by this Legislature and
the failure to do so is quite a dis
appointment. Of course this Legislature, as
all its predecessors, has not
pleased everybody, for that is
impossible as long as there are
"many men of many minds." It
has passed some bills that some
Dersons think should not have
been passed, and it has failed to
pass many bills tkat some per
sons think should have been
passed. It may be said truly of
this Legislature that less time
was eonsumed in debate than :s
usual, and very few long speech
es were made. It was quite a
sober body of men and a body of
men who seemed desirous of
serving the best interests of
their constituents. There cer
tainly was less partisan politics
exhibited than usual, and Demo
crats and Republicans got along
most friendly, and the Republi
can minority were treated most
fairly and courteously by the
Democratic majority.
The House passed the Torrens
land title bill by a large major
ity, 67 to 11, buf it was defeated
in the Senate. Public opinion,
so far as expressed in the news
papers, is decidedly in favor of
the bill, and we had hoped that
it would become a law, as it does ;

anything labeled "paint" is paint,but
; there's a difference, just as much as be
tween one kind of cloth and another.
Cloth nine-tenths cotton and one-tenth

tamly the Legislature ought not
to pay the expenses connected
with the funeral of anv man
merely because he was once a
member of some previous Legis
lature. One of the most important
bills passed, and one of the best, ;
on politics or partisan bias.
To show or illustrate how di
vided opinion was in the case it
may be mentioned that Senator
Simmons voted in favor of Lori

against him. Public opinion in

Chief Justice Walter Clark has
long urged such a law and We
are much pleased to note its en
actment at last.
A few days before the ad.
journment a resolution was in-
reported in Lorimer'sjavor, and
that four out of the five Demo
cratic members of the committee
voted in his favor.

that such a resolution was not

ization is made, for heretofore
such inventions have not proved
successful. It is now claimed
that such an invention is success
ful and its usefulness demon
strated, as will be seen from the
following copied from the News
and Observer of last Friday:
"Cotton picking successfully
by a machine is an assured fact.
That a machine that does the
work has been invented by Ral
eigh men is a source of local
pride. The Whitney cotton gin
effected a revolution in prepar
ing cotton for the market. The
Goodwin & Harding cotton pick
er effects a revolution in gather
ing the cotton. - -
"A few days ago the Goodwin
& Harding cotton picker was suc
cessfully demonstracted " at the
Hobby farm near Raleigh. Yes
terday afternoon there were four
demonstrations at the Raleigh
Iron Works, and each was a suc
cess. Cotton plants with the
cotton bolls on them had been set
out and the new picker a twen
tieth century marvel did the
work of picking cotton cleanly
and rapidly. '
'"A large and" representative
crowd attended the demonstra
tions yesterday, and there was
great enthusiasm over the work.
Tt was a wonder in picking cot
ton was the verdict, for tne
cotton picker worked like a
charm.
"The cotton picker, with one
man using two pickers, has a ca
pacity of a bale a day, the cost
about twenty cents a hundred
pounds, as against fifty cents by
hand, the results showing one
man in a day can pick 1,000
pounds, as against' 150 to 200
pounds . by hand. The machine
is not an expensive one, its cost
being such as to put it in the
reach of every thrifty farmer. It
is no heavier than an ordinary
one-horse wagon, and it does not
injure the cotton plant. One of
the machines will carry two to
four men, and this means the
picking of two to four bales each
day by, our machine.
"The power is supplied by a
small gasoline engine and the
cotton is taken from the plant
into a tube, drawn in by a Flex
ible shaft, the cotton being car
ried on by the use of a small re
volving fan through a flexible
tubejnto a receptacle. The ma
chine has fully shown that it is a
