The problem of making a livin.T on a poor farm with a one-eye.l mule , cannot be solved in the little school i howfi on the hill. ' How to start on a farm depends more upon the man than upon the land. One thing is certain that unless a young man bop-ins at the bojrinniiiR ' he is not apt to do much towarn ' buvin.T a farm after he has started j in life. Certainly a man w! passed the muMIe ape and fcaa a rn' i sized family and has no education j there ij little hopes of his ever own- inp: a farm. j Some one has said that he believes ' a Xati.inal jdan v.-IU 1 e arranged in the course of a few years, whereby any intelligent person desiring to own a farm can buy, pay for and equip it in such a manner as to pay j for it and make money and live com- f fortalily while paying for the farm. How this will be. done we do noi know, but on the same principal prac- j tically that tho wage earner in town i pays for his house with tho rent , money through the building and loan association.

No copper goes fcom America to Germany, but munitions of powder, guns, projectiles, etc., go on British vessels to Great Britain and the Al lies.

DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doing and Happenings That Mark ' the Progreta of North Carolina Peo ple Gathered Around the 8tat Caoltol. Raleigh. The Senate killed the Muse bill de signed to break up the state policy of airing the construction of railroads in undeveloped territory by working convicts in excliange for stock; and this .with the action of the house more than a week ago in defeating the l'ase bllld to repeal the acta that autli ized tho convict work now in pro gress, is taken to mean that the 1915 Legislature lias now fixed this state aid policy at least to the extent of carrying out tho compacts that the stato has wih railroad companies for his co-operative construction work. It was a lively debate on the Muse bill with Senator Muse and Senator McLeod arguing strenuously for the bill and Senators Chatham, Ballou, Thompson of Iredell and otheTs mak in gthe fight for the continuance of the convict work as at present. The Muse bill would have required the ptate treasurer to- credit the state's prison with the actual expense of the state's prison in maintaining the con victs at work on the roads, instead of with the par value of the stock, taken in exchange for the work. The bill was killed 34 to 7. No Child Labor Legislation Now. An unfavorable report by a vote of 10 to 2 was the fate of the Weaver bill to amend the child labor law of the state so as to raise the age limit to 14 years and provide for inspectors lo inspect factories under the direc tion of the Commissioner of Labor and Print incr. This was after a lengthy joint committee hearing in the Senate chamber duriug which both sides were fully henrd. Tills is taken to mean that there will be no cliunge in the cliiid labor laws at tills session. There was a big delej:ation of cot ton mill men here, and before the com mittee hearing they adopted a reso lution urging that no changes be made and pledging that the individual mem bers of the Cotton Manufacturers' As sociation will, if the Legislature will leave the law in force as passed two years ago, to give special attention to strict observance and report and pro ceed against any manufacturer who fails to observe the law. Kill Part of Justice Act. After more than five hours of de bate on the floor, extending over two days' session, the senate passed the bill to repeal the long and short haul provisions of the Justice Act, substl tuting therefor the long and short haul provisions of the revisal ot 1905 The bill has already passed the House, having leen voted through that body almost without opposition. In the senate, however, the bill met a hardy opponent in Senator Hobgood, who offered an amendment for relief to Tailroads having a mileage of less than a hundred miles. This was the identical amendment offered by Sen ator Mollae and later withdrawn by him after adoption in the committee. The amendment of the Senator of Guilford was votod down along with the passage of the bill. However, it suffered a little better fate than ab solute objection to the bill met It was lost by a vote of 23 to 10. The bill itself passed by a vote thirty- five to seven. Dog Tax Bob Up Again. The Currie bill for state-wide dog tax came up and was discussed for a short while. Representative Bowie go ing on record as unalterably opposed to dog taxes, saying that this is the attitude of his people. The bill went over for hearing another day, it be ing under favorable report from the committee. Woman Suffrage Discussion Ended. The opposition to woman suffrage in North Carolina was given a consider able jolt and the forces that have been fighting for the measure were correspondingly elated over the show. lag made in the House when, what was considered a test vote on the propo sition, came before that body. The motion was made by Mr. Doughton to postpone indefinitely, action on the bill and on this motion there were 68 ayes, 39 noes, 13 absent and not voting. Discus Semi-Monthly Payroll. The House Committee on Proposi tions and Grievances and Senate Com. mlttee on Railroads considered Quite a while pending bills for requiring railroad companies to pay employes semi-monthly, the Senate bill by Ward also Including lumber companies and other corporation. The bills were opposed by Assistant General Counsel George Elliott of the Atlantic Coast Line, Henry Miller of the Southern and others entailing immense add! Clonal operating expense on the rail road nnd bftlng of no real benefit. . WEATHER FORECAST.
