Chilli l.nhor Bill Killed. The child labor bill that Was said the senate would pass if it would go through the house was on the very end of the eessiou put on its passage and they got to amending it and the ffrst thing any of its friends knew had failed to pass, and it was too late for a nt w one to come up. Urn Agricultural Building Now. Champions of the Agiicultural Department of the State have been busy since the meeting of the legis lature in an effort to allow a bond is sue of $100,000 to build n new and up-to-date building for housing all of that part of the States institutions. The matter was kept back to the last, and, the bill died on its second reading.'! it is needed, but no worse than the others that have been nam ed here. . Two'fedueatlonal Bill Puled.

In the senate it was a tie, and the President killed the bill. The electric hoadlight bill was not hard fought in the house, and many knew little of it, and it was passed, and will be the law.

The Senate had declined to put teeth as they call the subsections into its bill, and the fight bad been exhausting: the mat ter before the House whs of a two fold uature, there being two bills combined in the hope of sugar coat ing the lexas conglom eration so it might slip down.

TO HONOR THE. CONFEDERATE DEAD OF RANDOLPH COUNTY. We have set our hands to the sacred task of erecting in th 1 town of Asheboro, near our beautiful new courthouse, a monument to commemor ate the bravery and valor of the Confederate Soldiers of Randolph County who fell in the war between the States. Love for our county and loyalty to the ni'n who nobly died for Southern liberty ani independauce impel us ti this undertaking. It is true indeed that the Confederate Soldier needs no costly tomb to glorify his memory since the whole Southland is his s"puluher, and the people for whom he laid down his life have prepared for him, 111 their own hearts, an imperishable memorial, lint there are dep and sacred sentiments which demand a material expression of our reverence foi thrir memory, and our admiration for their self-forgetting devotion to duty. A due regard for posterity demands it. lest the l"sson of their hero ism and the purity of their patriotism be not duly impressed upon the generations that will come after us. In every county 11 our state there should stand a memorial in bron." or stone that the heroic deeds of the Southern S ililn-r.s 111:1 y never he fur gotten. We feel that there should be erected at our county' capitol, un der the shadow of our rew "Temple of Justice" a duift of noble propor tions, worthy of the spot, worthy of the illustrious deeds of our Confed erate Soldiers, and worthy of the people of the county. We would tha all men in looking upon it might feel that it was a fit expression of the glory of the dead and of the love and revereuce of the people for whom they died. . It will speak to gener i'io4s yet unborn of the simple loyalty and sublime constancy of the Soldiers of Randolph county who fought without reward aud who died for a cause that was to them the em' odiment of liberty and sacred right. And now, citizens of Raneolph county, in the name if our heroic dead and for the ho ir of our county, we appeal to you to aid us in our undertaking. It is fitting that this monument to the honor of the Soldiers of Ran dolph county should represent the devotion of eaiS and every citizen of our county. Surely the kiiured of those who gave their best acd bravest men to the standard of the South in that tiemendous struggle should be eager to contribute their part to the sum neoessary to erect, here in full view of the capitol of the county, a shaft worthy to commemorate the valot and the virtue of those heroic men whose deeds have never been sur passed, and who have e'nel imperishable renown on their county and the commands tinder whose banners they fought. The Randolph Chapter Daughters of tne Confederacy, appeal to to you by the scrd memories of thai) lost cans", and by the honor dne to our glorious dead, to make a prompt and liberal contribution to honok-able an enterprise.
