In the Senate It nrsday there was a spirited debate"; the bill permit ting connty and o.jer officers to se lect the banks in v l ich they shall de posit public funds The bill, which passed, is designee :o prevent guar antee companies vu.ich bond officials requiring them to deposit funds in national banks exclusively,: There was also a warm d teussion over the bill which prohibit shipping liquor into Buncombe Madison coun ties except to licc iised dealers. -It. was claimed that .this, would be a hardship on the ri .Iroads, compell ing them to find oitt in advance who are licensed dealer in these counties before carrying th ;; ;:mr : and also that other States, ader t: s inter state commerce at. can t ior into these caan-ArJailf -'; ed. Another important bill passed was to make Cumberland county an abso lute prohibition county. The bill had previously passed the House. This bill was to get rid of the dispensary at Fayetteville. Theanti dispensary people attempted to have the dispen sary abilishcd They failed and in retaliation passed a prohibition law for the whole county thus knocking ont the dispensary. Still another im portant measure passed was a law taxing dogs. It applies only to Meck lenbnrg, Cabarrus, Wayne, Chat ham, Columbu9, Robeson, Jackson, New Hanover, Watauga, Pasquo tank and Wake. Senator Stikeleath er, of this count;, voted for the bill and Pinnix against it. It passed, 28 to 10, and is as follows: ' Section 1 levies a tax of 25 cents on every male dog and $1 on every female dog, to be collected annually. Section 2 provides that all dog owners shall list their dogs at the time and in the same manner as oth er property is listed. : Section 3 requires the Secretary of State to provide a separate column for the dog tax in the preparation of forms and tax lists. The taxes shall be used in the townships where col lected for the purpose of baying books for pablic school child, en of the township who are the most needy. Section 4 provides for the distribu tion of the funds so raised among the different schools in each township, and the trustees shall pay to the teachers of each school the amount allotted; the teachers to buy the books as required. Section 5. Any teacher misapply ing this fund shall be deprived of his or her certificate and be debarred of teaching la the p&13tTc!soa53-c? xhts State again. Section 6 makes it a misdemeanor for any person owning or harboring a dog to fail to list the same. Other bills passed: Providing for primary elections in Charlotte and Mecklenburg; to allow Salisbury to have a new registration of voters: to prevent cutting cherry timber "when leaves ate on the trees" (applies to Graham county); to pay witnesses at the court of impeachment $1 50 per day and five cents per mile each way; to print official proceedings of the conrt of impeachment; placing the A. and M. College under direc tion of the Board of Agriculture; in corporatmg btate prison and regu 1 An amendment offered by Roth rock, of Rowan, to tax dogs $1 each, excepting rat terrier?, was laughed out of court. Section 86, of schedule C, privilege tax on railroads, was adopted. Sec tion 86, relating to rate of taxation, was taken np. Judge Graham offer ed an amendment to strike out sec-; tion 86, and insert: "Tae annual li cense tax for operating such rail roads within the State shall be as follows. When gross receipts per mile exceed $2 000 per annum but do not exceed $5,000, a tax of 2 per centum upon such gross receipts. Where gross receipts per mile exceed $5,000 per year, 3 per centum upon such gross receipts. Gross receipts as used in this section shall mean re ceipts' for business done wholly in f'-.te and tho pro rata mileage . -- ". i- biiaiaass. done ia. .this sion and went over. At the afternoon session other sec tions of the revenue bill, including the income tax, were adopted. A tax of $5 was put on stationary oculists and opticians and $25 on itinerants. The bill was then reported to the House and Graham's amendment tax it; g the gross earnings of railroads was adopted and the bill passed third reading amid much excitement. A motion to reconsider was lodged and the House adjourned amid much ex citement. At the night session the senatorial apportionment bill came up. Duls, of Mecklenburg, moved to place Mecklenburg and Cabarrus in a dis trict with two Senators. He made a passionate and powerful appeal for justice to Mecklenburg. He said the proposed bill giving Mecklenburg one Senator with a population of 56, 000, disfranchised 19,000 citizens; he said the Democratic caucus had de cided that Mecklenburg should be placed at the foot and not considered in the congressional and judicial ap portionment and he bowed to the will of the party, however much be might suffer, but no caucus had put this senatorial indignity on his people and he raised bis voice in solemn protest. "Cabarrus connty and its represen tatives," he said, "are asking for this. Tbe chairman has just admit ted that to give another district two Senators he bad disfranchised 19,000 people and has pat his owa county with a Senator and admits that Ire dell is not entitled to it. No caucus has acted on this and I will not eat such dirt at any committee's dicta tion. I appeal to the sense of justice of this House and do not believe my appeal will be in vain." Wright, of Rowan, said her popu lation did not entitle Iredell to one Senator. Watts, the chairman of the committee, said if the committee had put Davie and Iredell in one district it would have been doubtful politi eally. The amendment was adopted, ayes 44, noes 22. Watts moved to recommit the bill to the committee and the motion was adopted. Bills passed: Making the salary of the State librarian $1,000 and allow ing $300 for an assistant; to allow Rutherfordton to issue bonds for wa ter work; to allow Salisbury to issue bonds.

C We are glad that Mr. Roosevelt is safe in his office for the reason that we will probably hear no more of him.- Durham Herald. It would be a cause for congratu lation if there was any certainty that Mr. Roosevelt would sink into insig nificance and be forgotten, as the oc cupants of tbe vice presidential office generally do. But we question if this will be so. Mr. Roosevelt is not tbe. kind of a man to allow himself to be forgotten, fie persists, in ore way and another, in constantly keeping himself in the public eye and we have no doubt that he will make op portunities to attract attention to himBelf as presiding officer of the Senate; and the danger is that this 'strenuous" gentleman may, while playing to the galleries, do a lot of mischief and keep tee country an noyed and disturbed. No, we very much fear that we have not heard the last of Mr. Roosevelt the m ore's the pity. MOVED ! MOVED!!

Several weeks ago a little child was burned to death in Charlotte The poor mother was compelled to go out to labor to obtain food for her children and in her absence the dis tressing accident occurred. The in eident and tbe circumstances attend ant thereon touched tbe heart of the community, and Dr. Barron, a Bp tist minister, started an agitation for the establishment of a day nursery to take care of the children of the poor whose parents are compelled to leave them daring the day to work for support, ine good women or the town took the matter in band an two day nurseries have been estab lished io Charlotte. . This cbatity i9 most commendable and deserves, as it will doubtless receive, a liberal support at the hands of the public. Wherein Is Recorded How iba Chiefs and the Representatives of the People Strove Together to Cast David, Bun of finches, and Robert, Son of Donglas, From the Judgment Hall These and Other Thing Told Herein. Communication In Horganton Herald, And when the fourth year of Dan iel, the son of Russell, had expired, Charles, the son of Aycock, ascended tbe throne, to judge the people; and he prophesied smooth things onto the people, and it was told them that each man should dwell under his own vine and fig tree, with none to molest, or make them afraid. And tbe hearts of the people rejoiced mightily at tbe words of the wise king, for they were weary of strife, and of turmoil. Bat behold the chiefs of the people, chosen for their wisdom and knowledge, assembled together i. takouU tjMsMUlhihJaatiro the kingdom, to ordaiu statutes and to rule in righteousness. And they hearkened not to the words of the wise king, and the hearts of tbe peo ple waxfed sore afraid. And amoDg the chiefs of the people when they assembled together to take counsel were many mighty men of valor, and among tbem was Locke, the son of Craig ; Henry, the son of Connor ; William, the son of Allen ; George, the son of Rountree ; and Francis, the son of Winston, who in former times had desired to ride with George, the sou of White, and could not, and besides tbem, other men not so great. And when the chiefs of the people had entered the temple to take coun sel, behold there came other men with them, and among them Furni fold, the son of Simmons, and others, bringing with them a certain contriv ance, called the machine. And many of the chiefs of the people bowed themselves before it and worshipped and straightway forgot what manner of men they were. And it was so, that whea they had worshipped, tome of the wise and learned men cf the chiefs of the people, among them Locke, the son of Craig ; William, the son of Allen, and Walter, the son of Clark, who sat not with the chiefs of the people, but in the council chambers, upon - the seat of judgment, and others arose and said: "Behold, oar con stitution hath been broken in pieces by them which sit npon the judg meat seat." Bat the people wist not at all that it had been broken. And many Wise and good men even of the chiefs of the people knew not that the same had been broken. And the people, when they heard that their constitution was broken, went and looked thereon and they found no break. And when the peo ple could find no broken place thera- on, they called tneir wise men wnicn sat not with their chiefs and bade them find the break thereon and they asked them, "Hath our consti- ution been broken in twain and we ot know thereof 7" And the people and their wise men examined the constitntion and they conld find no break thereon, and they 11 said, "It is not broken." But the chiefs of the people said "it is brok en and if we cast not David, the son themselves was not regarded. And among the chiefs of the people were many fine men who loved justice, and among them was Stubbs, the son of Martin, Yarboro, the son of Franklin, Patterson, the sou of Robesoc, and William, the son of Gaither, and others, but they were not regarded, neither did thejr hear -their vo:ce and they were grieved be- cause of the chiefs of the people and bowing not to the machine they got no office. And it came to pass that the chiefs of the people haled them which sat upon the judgment seat into the council chamber before the great court of the Sanhedrim, before the chief High Priest, Wilfred, tbe . son of Turner, who feared God and eschewed evil, a fair man and a just man, in whom there was no guile, and before other men, some of whom were, like him, and bid tbem cast : They said, "If we Sad evil in them -then will we cast them out, but if not then will wa not cast out." Then the hearts of the people waxed bold within them, and they entered the court of the great Sanhedrim, where in tbe just men sat who were to try Da vid, the son of Furches, and Robert, the son of Douglas, and they bore with them tbe ark of tho constitution and they said, "There be no break hereon and we shall execute judg ment in righteousness." And the chiefs of the peopio and the men chosen by tbem arose and went be fore the great Sanhedrim. And they which sat upon the judgment seat, in the council chamber, also arose and went before the conrt and with them also went wise men of the people, among ethers Franklin, the son of Osborne, and Thomas, the son cf Jar vis, and others, and they all strove mightily, and the chiefs of the people and the men chosen by them, also arose and strove together mightily. But the machine brought they not in, for tbe place whereon they stood was holy ground and Wilfred, the sod of Turner, who was high priest the same year, was one that feared God and eschewes evil and many who fat with him did likewise. And things they did, are they not to be written ? And are these things cow done, aod which shall yet be done, but as a cloud the siz3 of a man's band which signals the coming storm? And shall a del uge come again! He that is wise let him consider these things.

Miss Z illie Rominger died at the home of her parents. Dr. and Mrs. C. A. Rominger, last Toursday evening, February 28th. tfter an illness of four weeks. The announcement of her death was a great surprise to the community. We regret to say that there is a widespread fteling in Reidsville that this sweet young girl's lif might have been saved bad she receive! the attention cf a physician. It is a matter of common report that her fa ther, who is one of the State's lead ing dentists, believes in divine heal ing, 1. e , that the prayer 01 laitb will save the sick without tue use or medicine, and so believing he did not call in a physician during her illness, but prayed for her restoration to health. Nor were any of the reme dies prescribed by physicians for ty pboid fever, the disease with wnicn she was afflicted, urei. She received the tenderest nursing at the hands of loved ones, and her father asked her f she wanted a doctor, and called over the names of tbe different ones n town, but she said she did not. It would be idle to attempt to con ceal the fact that our people feel that Dr. Rominger had no right to allow his child to suffer and die without giving her the benefit of medical at tention. He owes it to tne eommuni- tv to explain why he did so. it pains us to say inese mings, out we believe me time nas come tor plain speaking.

And the chiefs of the people called upon Charles, the son of Busbee, and npon Jim, the son of Pou, and said, "Cast them out." And tney called also upon other mighty men which loved ustice to cast them out and tney would not but said, "We be busy, cast them out thyself." Then arose Joseph, the son of Caldwell, a mighty scribe and a wise and true man of the people, who loved justice and truth, and npbeld it both against friend and foe, and said, "Verily the constitution is every whit sound and able to wade even after shell fish." And when he had thus spoken the chiefs of the people arose with great: indignation against him and rent their garments and said unto bim. 'Verily we will destroy thee." But he laughed them to scorn and said, "Destroy me an' thou canst and see who will be here the longest," tor Jo seph, the son of Caldwell, was a wise man and bad Knowledge tuat more men stood with him than with the chiefs of the people. And they de stroyed him not, but they set Jose- phus, the son of uanieis, npon mm, and Joseph, the son of Caldwell, smote him sore and overthrew bim with a great slaughter, and they troubled him no more.

Some time ago his kitchen was entered several times and finally the man in question got a large steel trap and set it in tbe kitchen.

The man's foot was so badly hnrt by the trap that at one time it was feared that it would have to be amputated.
