Pat terson A Co. Dearth or Prisoner on the Okalng-ang Charlotte Observer. The reporter found Policeman Sum merrow and Deputy Sheriff Johnston engaged in earnest conversation on the quare this morning, and thinking a sensation might be brewing, strolled up to the officers in time to hear the policeman say: "If this thing keeps on, they will have to consolidate the two squads of the chaingang." "If what keeps on ?" queried the reporter. Oh, I mean if the courts don't get in the habit of sending more people to the gang, there won't be any gang after awhile." "That's a fact," quoth the deputy sheriff. "Why, we used to have as many as 100 prisoners in etch squad, but now there are not more than 75 in both squads. If business don't pick up, the commissioners will have to consoli date the squads." It appears that many people whom me omcers thing should be serving sentences on the roads have escaped punishment and also that many of the old chaingang crowd that formerly hung around Charlotte have migrated. 8ome of Ihem have gone to Salisbury and other places where no embargo is placed on the privileges of the thirsty. After Society Gambler. Keidsviixe, Feb. 28. As a result of the charge of Judge Cook to the grand jury yesterday, in which gambling in high and low places were touched upon, Messrs, R. L. Watt, Russell Tucker, C. A. Penn, Fred Ford and several other tf the most prominent society gentlemen of the place, have been summoned before the grand jury to-morrow to testify, it is supposed, about the numerous card parties and other parties in which prizes have been given. Among the Reidsville men serving on the grand jury are Messrs. . M. Redd, foreman; Josef Lindsey and 8. II. Bushnell. It is said that if there are indictment drawn against every one guilty under the law at laid down by this judge yesterday, most of the women and children as well as the men will be summoned to court. The church choirs and societies have been giving contests in Reidsville at which prizes were offered, and it is a rare thing that prizes are not awarded at the social functions in the town.

Bills were intro duced in tbe House to give pensions to all ex Confederates worth less than 1500; to amend the Iredell school law; to prevent vicious doga from going at large. Representatives from Wake made statements relating to charges of hav ing sneaked through the Legislature a road law for Wake containing a section affecting profits of the dispensary. They denied this. A favorable report was made in the House on the bill for a State Immigra lion uepariment. All bills requiring inspection of illuminating oils were un favorably reported. uovernor uienn sent in a message urging ,a State bureau of immigration; a strong law againBt vagrancy; for lessening a number of jury challenges; for the repeal of all divorce laws since 1888; to increase Cofederate pensions to fS00,000; to erect a monument to Ransom; to erect a Hall of Records and to create the office of State pur chasing agent. The House took up as a special order the bill to repeal the anti-jug law, ex cept as to Cleveland, Cubarru", Gaston and Mitchell. A number of amend ments were offered. It wag stated that tne general anil tug law bill had come over from the House and the motion was made that these be first taken up. This was not done. The amendment was adopted that the bill should not effect pending suits. The bill then passed after an effort to add Cald wells' Yancey, Rutherford and Madi son had failed. The anti-jug bill r as then taken up, many counties being excepted. A motion to strike out all these exceptions was lost and bills passed. Rowan (except Spencer and East Spencer), Stanly, Davie, Alexan der, are among the excepted counties. The bills passed to prohibit shipping of liquor into prohibition territory un der fictitious names. Raleigh, Feb. 23. In the Senate a resolution was introduced urging Con gress to promote the project of an in land waterway in North Carolina and to renovate the Senate chamber and House of Representative!. Bills were introduced to regulate the employment of. telegraphers and railway telegraph operators; to promote immigration; to regulate boards of education in Meck lenburg and certain other counties; to submit to voters of Asheville the ques tion of establishing a dispensary. Bills pacsed to amend the charter of Salisbury; to authorize county boards of pensions to place on the pension rolls any meritorious case, even where tbe person may have property worth $500 Bills were introduced in the House to amend the road law of Mecklenburg and allow Arthur Butt to exhibit pana ramas free of license tsx; to amend the creek law for Iredell; to amend the law regarding analysis of fertilizers. The Ward liquor regulation bill, which' had passed the Senate, prohib iting distilleries in towns tf less than 1,000 population, came up as the special order. Mr. McNinch warned all the friends of tbe bill against voting for any amendment, tt for a motion to table any amendment, as such course might kill the bill. Mr. Turner offered a substitute making it unlawful to sell or mauufacture liquor in North Caro lina, subject to the vote of the people of each county at the general election. Mr. Murphy, of Rowan, offered an amendment prohibiting the sale as well as the manufacture of liquor in towns of less than 1,000. Mr. Mitchell, of Bertie, spoke of the powerful lobby the distillers had here and the literature they were circulating, and said the otheraide bad no tuch lobby. Ho said those who had rallied around the flag of Williams and Shore had tried to de capitate Chairman F. M. Simmons, the head of the Democratic party, in resent ment of his effort to protect the Church and School. Mr. Graham, of Granville, attacked the Ward bill, de claring that it contained no tinge of temperance or morality, but that while it meant good to tot temperance cause meant great evil the Democratic party. Raleigh, Feb. 28 The House passed the Ward bill regulating the dis tillerypermitting none in towns of less than 1,000. All amendments were voted down and the bill passed as it came from the Senate, the vote being 74 to So. Aid JON RIP LETTER. Atlanta Journal. We have been very much hindered and worried with freezes, but now we have struck the thawing process, and I believe all in ail, tt it worse than the freeze on man tnd beast, I have heard of houses being untenable and roads being impassable, etc., but the fellow who starts somewhere now on Georgia dirt roads will find things in shape to suit the qtjeen't taste in the way of mud and slush and slow travel and if he has much load, no travel, at all. It is now about thawed to the bottom of the freeze, and everywhere you touch it, it is soft, very toft. Wood and coal and such like is mighty bard to get The laboring people have been knock ed out of work so long that they have but little to cook, and mighty little wood and coal to cook it with. But at the good old woman said : "It mought have been worse." If ever there was a time when the South ought to raise tbe good road question and pass resolutions unanimously on that subject, it is just about now. I wish that the cotton convention assembled in Atlanta this week bad have adopted tome resolu tions to that effect they would not only have the acreage cut in cotton, but the roads to town improved. Good roads help tbe rural districts and enhance values as much as" railroads do for the cities and towns. Cities and towns reach each other over the railroadt and the wsgon roads. It is just about as uncomfortable to ride in an old wagon over an old mud road as it is to ride over a rickety, dan gerout railroad on a slow uncertain train. North Georgia will never the limit of her values and her prosperity until every road is macadamized and all her highways are fixed for travel. It looks now like the farmers are going to cut guano and tbe acreage about 25 per cent. It may not be all their fault, but I doubt if they can put in more than about 75 per cent, of the acreage that they had in last year. I was impressed with the number of politicians that met with the cotton con vention in Atlanta this week. Politi cians will meet with any crowd and with all crowds that can vote. I guess we will have two farmer can didates for governor, maybe three, next pop. I would love to see every county in Georgia put out a good candidate for governor. The more the merrier. Th,ere won't but one fellow get it, and I doubt if he is a farmer. But our pres ent governor has demonstrated that a farmer can fill the office. Most any old thing ought to fill the bill from now on. In fact, from the list of candidates, as large as it will be, we can surely pick a gocd man and a winner. I see it announced that the North Georgia Holiness Association convenes in Atlanta March 8id, and the services are to be held at Walker street church, Dr. Broughton's tabernacle and Wea- leyan church, three or four times a day for nine days. Atlanta ought to wel come these people and attend these services. They will hear good preach ing and get to mingle with some mighty good folks. I never hear the holiness movement spoken of but I think of the incident where it was said four minis ters sat on the train and were discuss ing holiness and criticising unkindly holinecs people, and the so called infi del rose on the crowd and said: "Gen tlemen, I am not a Christian, and I am not a believer in the Bible, but I have read it carefully, and if the book you call the Bible is true, then criticise holiness people as you may, yet the fact remains, it is holiness or hell with the last man of you." The doctrine of tanctification it clearly taught in the Word of God at the doctrine of justification. We all feel better since the sunshine has come again. That is one blessed contemplation; no matter how long the clouds or rain may last, wa know that the sun will come and shine agaia. Yours truly, Sam P. Jones. tUNDBsta HOflES FOB CHILDBEH. 'tab Work of the North Carollaa Chllalrea'satHoBBe Society. Charlotte Observer . A year ago thit month the North Carolina Children'! Home Society, of which Col. W. H. Oeborn, of Greens boro, is president, was introduced to the people of Charlotte, and their sub scriptions for the support of tbe work of the society ha been the mains of rescuing over 50 needy and neglected children and providing for their loving care in Christian families. Many of these children are well known to the people of the State, and each has an excellent home in a good family, tup plied with every comfort, a mother's protecting care and counsel, and access to every advantage necessary to the development of their talents. The society began work in Septem ber, 1903, received the first child Oc tober 12th, 1903, and hat received and provided for 73 children to date, the last ones being those left homeless by the burning of the Belle Green Orphan age, at Montreat, tome time ago, Seventy of the children are still wards of the society and under supervision. The society receivet any normal white child under 15 years of age, and pro vide for it a home in a Christian family. It denies help to no needy white child, but can accept guardian ship of those that are normal only; and does not wish to receive and child tha' can be cared for in an orphanage. The support of the society is entirely those voluntary contributors of those who wish to help save needy children. A generous subscription was made by the citizens of the State last year, and the society both gratefully acknowledges thit and solicits a continuance of sup port. Bricklayers' Pay 1 fit A Day. Hew York World. 0er 9,000 bricklayers in this city, in accordance with their agreement with the Mason Builders' Association, will have their wages raised from 65 to 70 cents an hour on Wednesday, the highest wages ever paid to bricklayers in thit country. Under thit rate of wagea it will be possible for a bricklayer to make t7. 20 a week. Eight hours at 70 cents an hour is $5.60, and in the busy season, almost without exception, they work twelve hours a day. For every hour overtime they get double pay, so for the extra four hours they receive at much as for the previous eight, or til. 20 for the day. The men say that this really is not so much because they are only employed six months in the year, i-.mployers tay the average is about nine months. THE BEAUTY CHASE Minneapolis Tribune Here are tome of the things lhat so ciety women really do or have done in tbe mad chase for beauty: They take milk baths. They bathe their faces daily in real sweet cream. They have their entire faces skinned, so that a new skin may grow over this old surface. They have their noses shaped. They shave their eyebrows into a per fect arch. They have their lips Bhaped into a cupii't bow. Thy have all nature's fine hairs re moved from the skin by electrolysis. They have real dimples cut in their cheeks and chins. They have good strong crooked teeth removed and artificial straight ones screwed on the stumps. They go into complete retirement for six months at a time, are "done over," and emerge perfect beautie s. They have artificial figures built in their frocks and artificial insteps made in ther slippers. But it is not all wasted time. Never has the world been so crowded with beautiful women I Never have there been so many unbeautiful women who have produced the illusion of beauty. KELLcUn 'SURE CURE For aa Impaired Appetite.
