The scene in the House was a busy one. The members were present in full force and the lobbies back of the seats were J crowded. In the galleries were thirty or j forty visitors, there being a dozen ladies I among these. There were no bouquets for the representatives, but tbe House looked than usual "its fresh trimmimr of paint and its new red carpet iu the aisles. and the brass bonnd linoleum floor cover ing giving it a "spruced up" look. It took nearly a buudred and eighty mil utesforthe House of Rrepresentatives to organize itself and in running order. 8- ginning at noon the clock was on the stroke of three when there was adjournment. The caucus nominees were all elected and barring tbe vote of the Republicans the minoritv for Mr. J. A. Crisp, of CaldwelUfor Speaker, there was no opposi. tion to the other nominees. Mr. Butler I (R. ) of Sampson, stating that because of custom a Speaker was nominated by tbe minority that tbe nomination of Mr. Guion, ot Craven, as Speaker, gave him pleasure, and that as in past legislatures the minority had been courteously treated as to appoint ments no nomination would I - made for Other officers of the House. The House was called Ho, order by Mr. F. D. Hackett, of Wilkes, as Princi pal Clerk of the last session, and by uuai.- imo us consent be called to the chair Mr. Graham, of Lincoln, . who " presided until Mr. Guion of Craven, .was elected ..and sworn in as the tfjveate .Prayer was of- feredbyRev.

Bepreaentatirea Svrrn In Then came the swearing in of the Rep resentatives, this being done by Chief Justice Clark, of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. The members were call ed in batches of a dozen or more and a number of new Bibles were used for the members to "kiss the Book.' Some seven or eight of the Representa tives had neglected, for various reasons, to bring their" certificates of election, and these being certified by other members were allowed to take the oath. Mr. Branch tiflt7Knt that, thi, w hPrnfl he had given more thought to obtaining a Demo- cratic victory than to getting his certificate Another ex-member of Congress without certificate, was Mr. Fowler, (R.) of Samp son, and be was also sworn in The Speakers elected. It was at half past one o'clock that the election of Speaker was declared iu order. Then there was a delay, which grew long' er and longer. Mr. Warren, of Jones, who was to name the caucus nominee was not in the House. Mi. Woodard, of Wilson, hurried across the Houte to fiud Mr. War ren, but failed. Then arose Mr, Mitchell, of Bertie, who said briefly that he took pleasure in nomin fltins? Mr. O. H. Guion, of Craven, for' the position of Speaker o the House. Mr. Cuningham, of Person, seconded the nomination, aud paid an eloquent aud splendid tribute to Mr. Guion, as a man and as a lawyer, one who wduld discharge the trust reposed in him with fidelity. Mr. Butler, (Rep.) of Sampson.then stat ed that following custom the minority made nomination for Speaker, and present .ed the name of Mr. J. A. Crisp, of Cald well, at the same time saying the nomina tion of Mr. Guion gave him pleasure. He stated that the Republicans would . no mi ntA nn other House officers. This nomina tion was seconded by Mr. Rector (Rep.) trpnderson , Mr. Woodard of Wilson, on behalf of thft east, declared that eastern North Caro Una was delighted with the choice of. Mr. Guion, that be was one or the first pro ducts of that section, that he was young and vigorous, not on the retired list, be cause of ace, and that be would discharge his duties with fidelity and impartiality, rr.airlincr with d'tt litV and With -honor tO himself and the State. Mr. Winborner f Hertfoid, paid a ril r l mvji ' - - . . ute to Mr. Guion, saying trat wnue ne had honed to have been Speaker himtelf Sena an House Pre Qrgamza ions yet that no mistake had bern made, that Mr. Galon wmld reflect credit on the body j and that at the end of the session he ; would leave full !. of ; honor and glory so well he would discharge his duties - that , be" would be fair to all and that no man would have a right to complain of any acts of his. - Warren, of Jones, appeared at this time. and he paid a glowing tribute to M r. Qui-: on, teMing that he deserved the position not alone because of the sectiou from which he came, but also because ; of his eminent fitness for the positiou. : Roberson, of Guilford, as a member of the House of 1903, declared that the elec tion of Mr. Guion would be a tribute to worthy man and that though the session of 1993 had been his first yet that in it he had taken a leading part add that when lie spoke he was beard with interest, having Proveu a wise legislator. The ballot was then taken and Mr. Gui on received 96 votes, Mr. Crisp 21, neith er of tbe candidates - voting. Winborne of Hertford, and Cunningham, of Person were appointed to present Mr. Guion and. the oath of office was administered by Chief Justice Clark. As Speaker Guion ascended to the Speakers seat ana was greeted by Mr. Graham, of Lincoln, pre- siding, there was applause Will Strive t d Wa Daty. f Mr. Guion was visibly affected as he ad dressed the House. He said that after the caucus eleetion he had striven falterfngly and feeblr to express his appreciation, but that he was unable to do so as he wished, and that now he felt as then, that an at tempt to exoress his gratitude would be next to impossible to express this, nthat though he would try to live up to the kind y things said of bim a difficult lask bad been set, yet he would do all in his power that every energy would be used to aid in the legislation for the State. He expressed pleasure that the caucu nomination had come to him by a unani mous vote.aud suid many kind things about Messrs. Graham, Winborneand Wood wh bad sought the same position, but had withdrawn. The honor for this reason, h said a greatf r one but tnat ie took up the duties with fear and trembling not with regard to bis doing his duty, - but that he might not reach up to the high standard which had been erected, or that he would not be able to reach the position wi,ch mirQt have been held by his oppo nents. -pro nouE sxojiACfi TKOUlinrr 1 AH stoodaoh trouble in reoisved by the use of Kodol dyspepsia core.

HE ftDDUARTERS 1 f V ol Promises good M; GETTING. READY FOR WORK. The Majority Sentiment is averse to the lavish use ot Money, J to be expended public- -: v f ; ly or privately. Bureau of Labor and Printing, -! Raleigh, N.C.Jan. 9,1905. -The solons are here and the citizens of the Capital City are happy as the Governor of North Carolina said to' the governor of South Carolina, "It's a long time between drinks'' two long years but the bi-ennial gathering of the peo ple's representatives is here. A large majority of the legislators are comfort ably domiciled at' boarding houses and with private families, on account, it" is said, of the advance in rates at the ho tels. Raleigh is noted for her numer ous boarding houses and their r excel lency of character. 'It; costs some thing" to live here, but the accomoda tions justify the expense. Representa tives from the west, with few excep tions, are quartered at private houses, seemingly contented and happy. A fine collection of gentlemen and all appear to be 'looking alter tbe interests of their constituents." . ... . The general assembly of 1905 began its session on Wednesday, Jan. 4 at 12 o'clock, with ihe usual ceremonials.! The senate branch was called to order by the retiring Lieutenant Governor, Hon. W. D. Turner, who will preside until Judge Winston, his successor,' qualifies. The following ofliers were chosen: A. J. Maxwell, Kinston, ' who has held the position twice before,prin-j cipal clerk; V. L. Cahooa, of Elizabeth City, readiog clerk; J. W. Simpson, of Rutherfordton, engrossing clerk; L. B. Peg ram, of Raleigh, ser. at arms; Rob ert M. Stalev. of Wilkes, assistant . geant atarms; ' AlaSc wellHndUhooH are from the east, Pegram from,,. the center, Simpson and Stanley being mountaineers. All were elected unani mously except Mr. Simpson, for whom the handful of republicans declined to vote, because, as registrar in Ruther ford county, he. refused to register a negro. He is now unaer indictment in the Federal court for his failure to rec ognize the coon as a qualified voter. Pearson, of Burke, is the only republi can in the senate who voted at all for engrossing clerk. The other six played "mums." The bouse was called to order by lr. Frank D. Hacket, the principal clerk, who was re-elected to that position. Maj.. W. A. Graham, of Lincoln, jvas called to the chair temporarily and up on his instructions the members present came forward to the speaker's desk as their respective counties were named and Chief Justice Walter Clark admin istered the oath of office. Hon. O.j H, Guion, of Craven, was elected speaker, receiving 96 votes to il for Mr. jj A. Crisp, of ald well. Mr. F. B. Arren dell, of Raleigh, was re-elected to! the position of reading clerk and John H. Kerr, f Caswell, one-legged Confeder ate soldier, door . keeper. Hon. M. D Kinsland, of Haywood was chosen, en grossing. clerk and Mr. David James, of Pitt, assistant door keeper. The (west has received her full share of the pa tronage, which evinces the party's ap- preciation or tne spienuia resuio in tne tenth district last November. A promi nent democrat from the east said, to the writer some days ago: ''You folks are entitled to a large portion of the side-walkd down here this time. (Yours made the best showing of any district in the United States, with the possible exception of the fourth in Maryland." ..'- ... i . - i Mr. E. B. Norrell, of Cherokee, is again in charge of the enrolling depart ment, this being the fourth time he has filled this position. Mr. Norrell (is a courteous and competent official and his continuance in office is a distinct com pliment to him and an advantage to thft la.w-iinaklner bbdv as well. In the assignment of minor positions our sec tion comes in for a lion's share. Aniong those having places are: Olis Self j and Roy Leather wood, of Jackson, Vt. B. Jenkins, of Macon, A. D. Raby, of pra- hamand J. J. M&ckey, of. Buncombe. The successful termination of affairs in this connection is largely due to the efforts of Hon. W. T. Crawford, Corpo ration Commissioner, S. L. Rogers and others, whose wide acquaintances in the state and thorough knowledge of manip ulating things to the best advantage Assembly 905 told mightily in the organization of the two houses Mr. Crawford came hare to attend the meeting of the presidential electors, who assemble to select a mes senger to carry the Parker vote to Washington, and volunteered his ser vices in the assistance of the western contingent in the effort to secure posi tions during the session. Mr. Rogers spends about three-fourths of his time here and entered heartily into the con test. . There was no division and con certed action, alone, made possible the favorable results attained. It is hard to ''down" working democrats anyway. f. . No legislation of importance has been enacted at this writing. A resolution pro viding for printing the Governor's message is the only act ordered enrolled and rati fied Senator Ward, of Craven, has intro duced bills providing .for the increase of the governor's salary from$4,000 to $5,000; Chief Justice of the Supreme court to 45,- 00; associate Justices $4,000 superior court judges from $2,500 to $3,500, but these bills have not yet been reported from the committee on salaries and fees, to which they were referred. While many mem bers of both houses realize the justice of the measures the majority sentiment is averse to such action at this time. Later on, when the .' financial condition of the state will better justl fly the salaries of the officers named can and should be increased, but the opportune time has not arrived, seems to be the prevailing opinion at pre sent. Governor-elect Glenn wires a re quest to make the law effective at the con clusion of his term in the event of tbe pas sage of the Sill as introduced and it is be lieved hi. position will materially aid the opponents of the .proposition iu - def eating the measnre. The majority sentiment here is to spend as little money as possible to meet the exigencils required in the con duct of the affairs of the state. . Senator Toms has introduced a new road lawrfor Henderson county which passes its final reading in the senate today. 1 have not read the bill, but he tells me it is what the people want and meets the approval of Representative Rector, who will have charge of the measure in the house. Several features of the present law have been incorpo- rared into the new one and additions made to meet objections, as I am in- formed. . Mr. Toms promises me. a sy nopsis of Wa billpwhiah; will be forward ed, to The Hustler for "publication I shall keep handsbffjn its 'enactment and allow our representatives to assume entire responsibility and trust it may prove acceptable to all the people re gardless of party alignment, (unless ob jections should be made after its provis ions are known',. Mr. Rector has intro duced a bill to repeal the present law, but this is considered unadvisable, in asmuch as the new law will repeal the old. In view of this fact it is hardly probable that his bill will get through the house. It is now sleeping peace fully with the house committee on pub lic roads and highways.' ' Senator Toms is informed that peti tions are being circulated in Hender son county asking for the repeal of the law creating the office of tax collector and that some democrats are signing the request. He is pledged to stand by the law, however, and will vote in ac cordance therewith. But in order that he may not be placed in the position to be charged with over-riding the wishes of a majority of our democratic friends I think counter petitions should be cir culated at once and forwarded for pre sentation when the matter comes up for consideration. He promised faithfully. publicly before the primary last sum mer and in a private letter to the writer that he would stand by the law and I have have an abiding faith in his in tegrity, He is in duty bound not only to vote against tLe repeal of the law but to use hisbest efforts in opposing it before the committee: To do otherwise would be the worst form of duplicity sfid unworthy of any man holding the honorable position in which his people haye placed him. His fiiends are doing him an injustice to ask such a thing. There is no half-way ground in ; this matter and I regret that a single demo crat should sign a petition asking, for the repeal of a law which its represent atives are pledged to sustain. It is open ing a proposition which means wreck and disaster to the party in Henderson county. For my part I shall keep my pledge to the party, and as its chair man, fight the proposition' to a finish. And with Mr. Toms acting in good faith, the law, as it now stands, will remain undisturbed. , The usual "legislative" .weather prevails here. We have had 'a sample of every kind of climate almost experienced be tween the north pole and the hot regions of the torrid zone, cold, temperate, hot, snow; sleet and rain, often all the same day. A severe enow storm visited the city on Saturday,- but r yesterday the weather was entirely agreeable. Little sickness is reported among tbe 'visiting statesmen." Representative Morphew, of McDowell, being the only one reported seriously ill and he ls convalescent at the present writ ing He has been closely attended by Mr, Charley House of Marion. I shall endeav or to report matters of interest to tbe wes tern people as the work of the General As sembly progresses. M, L. 8. ST, LOUIS LETTER 'e NEED NOT BE DECEIVED. When Entering a place of doubt- ful Reputation, You do so knowing what the final J . result will be. v o "All Sorts - of Jags Inside," "We are Lower than the Lowest", "He Who Comes in Here Leaves All Hope Behind." These and similar ones are signs that may be seen on the windows of saloons on Market Street, St. ; Louis. It is claimed that on this street from the Union depot to 8th, every brand of -liquor, known to the traffic is sold, and judging from the ap pearances of the crowds which hang around you couldn't doubt it. . One afternoon I strolled along this street for purposes of observation. All sorts and conditions of humanity ' may here be seen, from the millionaire's son whizzing by in an automobile to the common laboring man. on down to the last stage of a h uman wreck . Amidst the latter, clank, hum and whir of our present century of manufacturing and commerce, you are startled on almost every corner on Market Street by" the voice of some half-human, blear-eyed, dissipated be ing who tries ' to excite the sympathy of some passerby to the extent of the price of another cup of poison. "Mr. for the sake of depraved humanity,, give me. a piece of money." "I beg your pardon, but I am ruined. Please give me five - cents," "I know I look horrible, but j want to beg you for just a nickle." ; .; These are'only samples of what you may hear. But there is one thing I like about these places, and perhaps you are wonder ing what that can be. Some people ad vertise that they are doing a certain busi ness and really they are doing another. Some men advertise that they are strictly honest when they are 6trictly rogues. But some of these saloon keepers advertise their business honestly. Just what they say they '$rejofngTs precisely what they are" doingV They don't wantybu to Be deceived by their window B?gns,-and . that is one" thing I like iboat it, "We are Lower than the Lowest" There is no deception in that. If a yonng man, goes in there he can't say afterwards that he came to his ruin by dishonest signs. He can't say that he was misguided into that road.' The sign was correct and if his life is a" wreck in con sequence he can't put all the blame on the liquor dealer. - "He Who Comes in Here Leaves AH Hope Behind." I think that is one of the most appropriate signs I ever saw on a liquor shop. You can, while you are on the street, decide whether yon want to go in that place or not. They tell you before you come in so that you can get ready to deal with them. To be prepared you must first leave all hope behind your back. The hope of getting honest goods, of being treated as a man, of being dealt with honestly and honorably, of even getting what really belongs to ; you all these you throw down on the street the moment you cross that threshold. All saloon keepers are not thieves and crooks and men without a sense of honor, but there are thousands of them who haven't got an honest sign on their.' win dows, and they ought to be ma de do this so that the youth who starts out on that sort of a career could never - say that he was misguided into it. I am not a crank on this liquor question. I don't believe that Carrie Nation's plan should be legalized. I don't believe that the ev il of drink ; will ' ever be checked as long as its sale is in tbe hands of individuals. As long as they sell it they will offer every encouragement they can to increase the sale, for they are certainly not in 1 the busi ness for the pleasure there is in it. If a state wishes to get rid of the thing it will have to monopolize its sale and discourage its use. Put up a sign something like this. "This saloon is placed here by the State for the accommodation of inebriates. Young people are'eautioned to stay out." - I am glad that . North Carolina has re moved from the public highways of the State the "stills" and the. grog-shops which once could be seen at every road crossing where it would pay. I am glad they put them in incorporated towns where they can't retail it out to the yonth who is strug gling to be a man and who wants to avoid every temptation that he can. And besides if the manufacture and sale of liquor is con fined to the cities, women and children at least will have the benefit of organized police protection. . .. , . -.- Aa for myself I have no more use for liquor as a beverage than I do for red pep per tea as a beverage, but I do know that it is the direct or indirect cause of many business failures, of many destitute homes, Kb vice have appro unaiB ox many squandered lives, of many sighs, sobs, tears and crimes innumerable, and for that reason am opposed to iC . : -But in this money-craving - age. the man who deals in the stuff and who is honest ; enough to put out an honest sign .is a man among a thousand, and though he is engag ed in a dishonorable business, he ought to have credit for being honorable enough to say so.

This promise ' and others he has faithfully .kept and we" already feel the results of his splendid admin istration. . ... r i " v The Democratic party has given us the Watts law, which while it may not be perfect, has certainly done great and lasting good. Ifjotir legislators can improve it let them do' so, but also let, them exercise great' care and ;in ac cepting any so-called improvements be first sure that they are not obstacles in the way of accomplishing the good end -desired by the law as it now stands. I live in a cotton mill y- town which in some respects, is 'not different from other communities and" I know that Ibis law has been of untold benefit to us.
