ri ne Chatham Record. M. Editor. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1915. V theTegllature. f The legislature has been in ses sion only one week today and o course nothing of importance! j et been done. It always takes t w or three weeks for any legislature 10 get in good working, order. Most of the members are strang ers to each other and it takes some time for many members t become familiar with their du ties. All bills that are introduced in any legislature are referred to committees, where they are care fully considered and then report ed to the body in which they are introduced. The committees are not all appointed until several days after the legislature meets, and therefore bills must await the appointment of the commit tees and their action on them. The first bill introduced in the House is one that will doubtless be promptly passed. It was in trodueed bv Representative Al len, of Goldsboro, and takes away from a judge the arbitrary power of jailing a man for an al leged contempt of court commit ted out of court. The bill com pals the judge in such a case to refer the facts of the alleged con tempt to some other judge to pass on. The passage of this bill will be heartily approved by all fairminded men. t In the House area grandfather and grandson, they being Capt. Thomas W. Mason, of North ampton, and Mr. W. L. Long, of Halifax. Frequently there have been father and son in the same legislature, but this is the first instance that we can recall of a grandfather and grandson being members of the same legislature. Capt. Mason is one of the state's most prominent sons, having served North Carolina most gal lantiy in war ana emcientiy in peace. . May he be spared many more years of usefulness! A majority of this legislator seem to be young men, although there are a few Confederate veterans among the mem bers. The speaker of the House and the president pro tern of the Senate are both young men, and are said to be the youngest that have ever been honored with such positions, but this we doubt. Already the legislature is be ing flooded with a deluge of in significant local bills that con cern only a few persons and are of no general interest whatever; For instance, the first one intro duced in the House was to ap point a justice of the peace in a certain county. Many oher bill3 dually unimportant have been j become decent, law abiding citi i n troduced. and hundreds of oth-jzens- Such a law is calculated e.-3 will be introduced during the'to make many parents more care-s-ssiou.

It would seem from this Blind Man FaUs Heir to Fortune, that those who defeated so much New Bern, Jan. 8. According needed an amendment wish the to rePrts reaching New Bern J. time of our legislators to be wasted in enacting into law these insignificant local bills that are ol no service whatever to the public. Probably the most important matter that the legislature should consider is m regard to revenue and taxation. Gov. Crate in his admirable address to the legisla ture, recommended that ample authority be given to the Tax Commission to enforce a more just and equitable return of all taxable property, everybody knows there is a general He says, what is true, that failure in list- ing and assessing taxation. It is to property for be hoped that some way be devised for making all kinds of property and all kinds of men bear their just share of the burden of taxation. Representative Henry A. Page, of Moore county, has introduced five bills to repeal former acts that authorized certain small railroad companies to construct their roads with convict labor and pay for the same in their stock, which is worthless. The object of these bills is to stop giving the laDor of our state con- victs to railroad or other coroo- .a & rations, and hope that these bills will be passed. Almost to the same purpose is the bill in troduced by Senator Muse, of Moore county, that puts the con trol of the convicts entirely with the directors of the state prison, and forbids the hiring of any convicts to any person or corpo ration without pay in money. No person or corporation should have the labor of our state convicts without paying therefor in mon- ey, instead or woruuess siwn oonds. ine state nasiusiwuu; n the past few years several hundred thousand dollars by re ceiving worthless slock and bonds as payment for convict hire, and that sort of policy ought to be stopped without delay. The voters of this state de feated by a large majority last November the fourth proposed amendment to the constitution which would change the date of the inauguration of the Govern or from the 1st day of January to the second Wednesday after the first Monday in January. And yet for many years the lat ter day has boen the time for the Governor's inauguration, and, if one had been elected last No vember, he would be inaugu rated today notwithstanding the amendment was defeated. It seems from this that the major ity, who defeated the amend ment, preferred to continue vio lating the constitution. The only state officer elected last November was a corporation commissioner (Hon. E. L. Tra vis), and. he will be duly declared elected and his term of office be gins todav, although the consti tution says it begins on the first day of January. We have never heard any reason given for de feating so proper an amendment, and there could not have been any good reason. It3 defeat must have been caused by not be ing understood. Under a new lax in New Jer sey a man and his wife have been indicted for some crimes committed by their minor chil dren. This law holdi pareits criminally liable" for the crimes committed "by their minor chil dren. For hundreds of years the common law of England and the United States has held that a father is liable in a civil action for damages done by his minor children to persons or property. Many, a father has had to pay money in a civil action for dam ages done by his minor child, but, so far as we know, New Jersey is the first state to make him lia able criminally. Under the New Jersey law pa rents may be fined or imprisoned because of a crime committed by their minor children. The rea son given for such a law is that parents should be punished for not bringing up their children to Kj. jonnson, wno is Known an over North Carolina as "Blind" JoNnso, and who is one of the most unique characters in the country, has fallen heir to a for- which was left him by ajis slly dying iture hvr.thpr whn rPPPntlv naaaorJ : that this brnthpr lpft tn "Blind" Johnson and another brother a tract of land composed of a thou sand or more acres and which is valued at $400 an acre Mr. John son has gone to Florida to settle up the estate. "Blind" John3n, while totally unable to see, goes about the city unaided and with the great est ease. For years he dealt ex clusively in newspapers and could distinguish the different papers by the odor of the ink on them. A year or so ago, after the death of his first wife, who Was also blind, he married a Mrs. Cahoon, of Bridgeton, just across Neuse river from New Bern, and who is also blind, and the couple now rpside there.

At the end of 1915 foreign sta tisticians computed that five months of the greatest war. of history had cost the nations in volved 6,000,000 men (killed, wounded and captured) and $7, 000,000,000. These figures are as fohows: ( LOSSES. Great Britain 800 officers kill ed, 4.000 wounded; men, 15,000 killed. 60,000 wounded.

Great opportunities for expan sion of the cotton goods trade with the South American coun tries are open now that the Eu ropean mills have been curtailed ind a number of Southern cotton- mills are taking active steps to capture a generous, share of this trade, declares Charles Lvon Chandler, South American agent of the Southern Railway, who calls attention to the following interesting figures: Of the $14,000,000 of cotton goods imported by Chile in 1912, only $770,000 came from this country. Germany, whose trade is now cut off, supplied 13,400, 000, and Great Britain the rest. In the same year, Argentina boueht $35,700,000 of which $5, 527,000 came from Germany, over ,17,000.000 from England and only $445,300 from this coun try. Of the $18,000,000 of cot ton goods imported bv Brazil, $3,800,000 came from Germany, $11,000,000 from Eneland, and only $329,000 from this country. Figures in regard to woolen goods and cutlery into the South American countries show similar opportunity. Shoots Brother in Thieh. From the News and Observer. While hunting rabbits Thurs day afternoon Snooks Franks was accidentally shot in the back and left thigh with bird shot by his brother, Perry Franks. The in jured young man was carried to the home of Dr. J. J. L. McCul lers, who picked about a dozen shot from his back and thigh. The wounds are painful but not serious. Both young men are sons of Mr. W. N. Franks, of McCullers station. Death From Hot Water. . Kinston, Jan. 10.

'If the Uni ted States had not come to our aid it would have meant starva tion for most of us," said Alfred Nerinex, provisisional burgomas ter of of Louvain. "We are will ing to work, but we cannot when the doors are closed to exports. We cannot buy food, even if we have the money, when the doors are closed to imports, it is no fault of ours if we starve. Feed us now and we will pay you back in industry when the war is over. - "We are paving back now in gratitude for , the lives America has saved; gratitude which will endure as proof that human af fection is stronger than treaty alliance. "Here in the midst of t e ruins of my town I do not lose heart. I know we shall rebuild it all if ! only we can have food to keep us alive. The most powerful army in the world cannot Teutonizei Belgium; but America, armed with bread, is Americanizing Belgium. My worst fear is that tiiat there will be read riots if the relief stops." Accident in New York. New York, Jan. 6. The worst accident in ten years' history of New York's subway occurred during the morning rush "hours today, when 700 passengers in two stalled trains were stricken with panic in the darkened tube s by dense smoke and acrid funics from a short circuited cable. In the struggle to escape some two hundred persons were injured, one, a woman, fatally. Others, overcome, were rescued, uncon scious, by police and firemen, while scores struggled to the street unnerved or hysterical, their clothing torn and faces black( n d by smoke.

Mrs. Alex Inman, who lives near GuilfoH College, was fatally burned yes terday while warming before an open fire. She had returned to the house after a short absence and while standing on the hearth her skirt caught fire- Before she realized it the flames were sweep ing over head. She screamed and ran from the house, and a passing negro caught her and put out the flames, Medical aid was was summoned and everything possible to relieve her suffering was done. Her husband was in the city and it was several hours before he could be located and started home. Prompt Action Will Stop' Your Cough.

"Poor I have lived, poor I die!" were the last words of Charles Tellier, who,, half starved and in agany, died the other day in a shabby room in Paris. His experiments of half a life time made refrigeration eystems pos sible. One of the many corporations that he had helped to enrich offered him in his last hours a gift of $20,000. Tellier scornfully rejected it. He ac cepted . a ribbon from the Legion of Honor, but spurned alms. J. H. Fabre, the French poet-entomologist, called "The Insect's Homer," at last has attained deserved honors but he had to live until ninety to get them. "A little longer," he quaintly ob serves, "and the violins would have come too late." J Yet France is no more ungrateful than other lands. The Wright broth ers found quicker recognition there than in America. That Germany may live In a glass house, too, might be guessed from reading the story of Doctor Diesel. His work may prove epoch-making, but he died a bankrupt and possibly a suicide.

Collier's Weekly. RUSSELL SAGE AND THRIFT Apostle of Saving Was Financier Who Died Worth More Than Sixty Millions. It has been developed, as the result of a suit in New York, that the late Russell Sage left an estate of.166, 000,000. It was generally supposed that the financier was a very rich man at the time of his death, but few persons imagined that his holdings would run into so many millions of dollars. He was a unique figure in many ways, and while he was never very popular, few persons questioned nis personal in tegrity. He might fairly be called the Apostle of Thrift. A man who made his lunch from an apple or two, ana who spent little or nothing on per sonal adornment or pleasure, was bound, in the nature of things, to ac cumulate jnoney. Some persons are apt to disdain the habit of saving and to say that for tunes are rarely built in that way. They seem to imagine that enormous sums of money are the result of reck less speculation and that the poor man has little or no chance in this feverish age. It has been homorously said that the great effort consists in getting the first million and that after that it comes easily. We cannot all be Rus sell Sages, but thrift, accompanied by industry and brains, is bound to meet with success. Sangfroid. "President WilBon's sangfroid Is un failing," said a diplomat "as unfailing as his fund of anecdote. "Apropos of the shipping rebate, I complimented the president on his sangfroid the other day. He replied, with his dry smile, that he tried to imitate the grave digger. "A grave digger, he explained, had the habit of visiting the cemetery every night at about midnight to see that all was going well. "Some boys decided to play a trick on him. They dug a trench in a dark spot which the grave digger always passed over, and one of their number, clothed in a white sheet, hid behind a tree. "The grave digger at midnight duly appeared and, sure enough, he stum bled and fell into the grave. "Then the boy in the sheet stepped forth and said in hollow tones: "'What are you doing in my grave?' ' " 'What are you doing out of it?' the grave digger calmly replied." Losses of Civil War. It is usually estimated that the life losses during the Civil war, on both sides, measured up to the million fig ure. The actual killed in battle num hrnd. on the side of the north. 100,- ooo; on that of the south, 90,000. a large percentage of the losses was from wounds, but the largest of all was from sickness, caused by climate and exposure. Of the million or there- abouts who were sacrificed on account of the struggle, the north lost between 650,000 and 700,000, the south between 300,000 and 350,000. The southerners, being . acclimated, did not lose as many men from sickness, in propor tion to . the number enlisted, as the north did. " Dramatized Fish Story. The scene is a restaurant.
