Tbe Session of the Lepialitnre Ha Ac complishea Much Legislation That it Good and Left Undone Much That Was Bad. - --.' ' Special, to Charlotte Observer. Raleigh. March 11. The work of the Legislature is over, and the rep resentatives of the people have gone to their respective counties. On the whole the law-makers of North Car olina have done well. The largest number of bills of any Legislature in the history of the State has been passed. Ninety per cent, of these bills were purely local and of no pub- a. a a an . - ic interest, a number of public aws were made. j The revenue and machinery acts now in force were re-enacted without much changre. i The State banks are exemnted from the franchise tax. i Liberal appropriations to all State institutions were made, and it is the first time since the war that such in stitutions have been adequately pro vided for. All insane persons will be cared for. . A number of new institutions, such as the Keformatory. the Eastern Training School, the Spray School of leennology and the Sanitonum for Consumptives were established. 1 he osteopaths were recognized and given a charter and a board of examiners so that frauds may be ex cluded. The new county of Lee was made from Moore and Chatham. A shell fish commission was estab lished, j The salaries of State officers were equalized and all fees will be turned into the State Treasury. This will make very little difference in the pay now received by the various officers, but the method is more dignified. The salaries of the Superior Court judges were increased $250. This should have been made $1,000 or $1,500. 'It is a notorious fact that any bob-tailed lawyers with any sort of ability and industry, can make more than the judges who preside over the Superior Courts. McDowell county was made dry and Anson left wet. . The people of Scotland Neck will vote on prohibition. The other counties and towns are under the Watts and Ward laws, j .Passenger rates on all lines, ex cept those protected .in the now fa mous 60-mile limit, will be reduced to zi cents per mile, ihis law goes into effect after the ' first day of July. The parents of small children will be especially interested in this bill as it does not exclude babies under 5 years of age. The railroads of North Carolina have never charged fares for children under 5, but the new bill contains this provision For transporting children lz years of age and under" the railroads may not make any charge for the infants and tiny tots, but they have the legal right to do it. This is thought to be an oversight. Discrimination in freight rates will be prevented by the Manning bill and penalties have been re duced more than half what they are now. I , The powers of the corporation commission have been greatly in creased. ' Compulsory pilotage has been re established at the mouth of the Cape Fear. I Here is what the . Legislature did not do: The Holt and the Ay cock anti-trust bills, which would have nut the farmers' association out of business m North Carolina and hit many things no one desired to hit, and would have crippled business, "Catherine the bearded trusts at a breath, and the flowers that grow between," were killed. Ihese bills provided for affidavits from corpora tions and business men. saying that they were not violating the law Had one of these become a law nun dreds of men would have been in the position of the English "ticket of leave" men or of the American con vict who is out on suspended judg ment, and who must ; report to the police and show that he is behaving himself and be under constant sur veillance. These bills started m the Senate, but did not tret far. Senator Aycock's bill to tax tne cash surrender value of insurance policies was killed. It was a new proposition and did not meet witn favor. . The Justice bill giving the Attor ney General immense powers, among others to summon any person wnom he thousrht might be violating cer tain laws, passed the House, but was stopped in the Senate.! Mr. Justice went before the Senate committee and pleaded for part of his bill, but that deliberative body had ; no idea of establishing something akin to the old Spanish inquisition. The bill died. No serious insurance legislation passed. t The State was authorized to pay two old claims, the Bledsoe and the Tucker claims against the! insane asylums. The Swain claim I against the University, when Vance, Ellis and Worth were Governors, was left over. j The Preston reformatory bill is a law. "The Stonewall Jackson Me morial Training School," is to be the name of the reform school. This name was suggested by Representa tive Avery, of Burke, who thought it peculiarly appropriate in view of Mrs. Jackson's recent letter to the Senate in which she expressed the l ata 1 nope mat sucn an institution be es- Itablished by this Legislature. The appropriation amounts to $10,000, he first So.OOO being payable after the first of September, when the organization meeting of the board of rustees will be held. Private sub scriptions to the school amounting to several thousand dollars have been made and much more can and will be procured. Four trustees are named in the act and the Governor is au- horized to . appoint eleven others, t is understood that he will name persons especially interested m the institution. It is believed to be the beginning of a great work in North Carolina. The seed that should grow into a great plant has been grounded. The immigration bill, known as the reston immigration bill, was passed. This bill carries an appropriation of $10,000 annually, $5,000 from the ag ricultural fund and $5,000 from the general funds. It places the ques tion of immigration m charge of the Department of Agnculturel, and eaves the selection of desirable immigrants largely in the discretion of the Department. The law is in effect now, and some' Scotch immi grants are ready to set sail fpr North Carolina.. Representative Preston was instru mental in passing a bill to make the railroads carry 200 instead of 150 pounds of baggage free. This law will go into effect with the new rate bill. Mr. Preston introduced the bill and a committee of traveling sales men appeared before the committee on railroads and requested that it be made a law Senator Pharr intro duced the same measure in the Sen ate, and the 200-pound provision was thus incorporai'nl in the conference committee's report. j Many brave battles were fought out in the House and Senate. The brilliant fight made by Representa tive London, of Chatham; against the forming of Lee county,! will not be forgotten. The proposition was defeated by one vote in the first con test, but ' the merits of the bill carried over London's protest in the second round. London s I personal popularity and fine tact and great ability secured at least twenty votes that the opposition could not have otherwise. Senator Seawell made the successful stand for the county. His fight was strong and dignified. An unusual number of bills regu lating the disposal of saw: dust, the season for musk rats, thn size of eels to be caught in Currituck sound, and the protection of pheasants, were passed. The number of booze artists has. been remarkably small. (.'The-Re publican members have hot hurt their party any. H. E. C. BRYANT. i Preachers After Railroad Men. The Spartanburg Ministerial Union has notified the employees of the Southern Road that if they do not stop working in their offices on Sun dav thev will prosecute them on the charge of violating the ? Sabbath. Some time ago the Ministerial Union complained to city council about the operation of shifting engines and freight trains onv Sunday and an or dinance was passed prohibiting the shifting of cars on Sunday. Now the ministers are after the clerks and agents and threaten them with prosecution. The Seaboard Air Line! has just completed a new passenger depot at Monroe. It is located a block iur ther east of the old depot, and a broad and well graded street leads up town. The new depot is built of pressed white brick and the interior is finished in oiled pine. ; Archie Roosevelt, youngs son of President Roosevelt, who was criti cally ill with diphtheria for several days last week, is now said to be out out of danger. j Does your Cash Register Make a Noise Like a Typewriter ?

The EnrlUh Girls Bat Started Home ward-Uncle Sam Pays Their Way. Greensboro, March 11. The 2G English people, who have been in custody here since the first of the year, having been retained to testify in the cases against the Charlotte mill men bade farewell to North Car olina this morning at 9:30 o'clock and left in a special car attached to northbound Southern Railway train No. 44 for Baltimore. When Balti more is reached Marshal Millikan will will turn the aliens over to the immigration authorities and they will be shipped back to England, the land of their nativity, jhe attorney general directed that they begin Aheir choice between staying in America and going back to England and they decided to return to the realm of his majesty, One girl at first said she would remain in America, when she learned that the others were going, decided to go also. One man wanted to remain here and send his wife back to England, but the marshel would not hear to that The girls have had a comparatively easy time since coming to America six months ago. Their transports- a.? a ?l i lion to vmenca was prepaid vy Thomas M. Costello the immigration agent, and they were given $25 in money in addition to the passage. They came to Charlotte and worked only about two weeks, living on the bounty of the owners of the mills in and around Charlotte. After they had been here -only a short time, the immigration inspector placed them in custody and they have since been under the control of the officers in order that they might not get away before testifying in the case against the mill men. They have not been kept closely confined however, and it has really been a picnic for them, but a big expense to Uncle Sam. They now return to England with tneir transportation back prepaid-a trip across the Atlantic for them at a cost of nothing. The girls say that they have enjoy ed the trip very much, thought they are not specially well pleased with North Carolina. Charlotte, they say is a better city than Greensboro. Money in Mattress Burned by Mistake A bonfire of bank notes and ma1 1- tress straw at Big Sandy, Tenn.. last week reduced the. worldly wealth of Hugh Melton to just $100, which he and and a family of a wife and three children appropriated for a journey to Texas. .. - .. Melton drew from the bank a few days ago the $1,500 which represent ed the accumulation of a lifetime He put $100 in a safe place and hand ed the remainder to his wife for safe keeping. She stowed it away in a mattress, but neglected to inform her husband of the disposition she had made of it. In packing up for his trip to Texas. Melton emptied the straw from the mattress and made a bon fire of it. e bills escaped the notice of Mel d ne remained in biissiui igno- pf the fact that he had had ey to burn and burned it. until his wife returned and discovered what had happened to the mattress Melton is of philosophic tempera ment, however, and he and his fam ily left for Texas, as originally planned. ; "When I had money I wanted to go to Texas," said Melton, "but now, since I have nothing I have to go," so they took the'first train with minds brimful of the stories they had heard of the opportunities in the Texas cotton belt. No' Pardon tor Bartou. Washington. March 11. Former Senator Burton, of Kansas, will com plete his term of nine months impris onment in the jail at lronton, aio. on March 22. An appeal has been made to Presi dent Roosevelt to commute the sen tence by striking from it a few days for good behavior This would in volve a Presidential pardon for Mr. Burton. Such a pardon, under or dinary circumstances, would restore to Mr. Burton his rights of citizen ship. Under the terms of the statute for an alleeed violation of which ne was convicted, however, he is de-! prived from hereafter holding public office. President Roosevelt-has turned a deaf ear to the appeal made to him in behalf of the former Kansas Sen ator, and will neither commute his sentence nor pardon him. Many a man's principles are sound; in fact, nothing but sound. : No Better tobaccos made than those manufac tured by- BAILEY BROS. Ill 11 1 TilSI. D THE DKAXTH OF COUSTY m ASTS. Prof . J. If.

Its theories formed the basis of a political prospectus and platform submitted to the Demo cratic primaries in this county last August and subsequently published in a manifesto in the Charlotte Ob server. ' . As State agitation of the labor question then originated, and discus sion of immigration relief was pre cipitated by that prospectus, and hrst advocated m that manifesto, and as tenant demands arc more urgent, more farms being vacant. and benefits from a labor supply greater in Cabarrus, it is meet that due action be taken and proper ex ample shown in this matter by the residents oi uns county. 1 he State s farmers should not wait or expect me to do everything. I have done all that is pecessary for me to do on this subject. My interests are no greater than those of 10.000 others in our various townships. J. N. Ingram. Much country industry is now at a standstill for lack of labor, and is likely to remain stationary until im migration relief is provided. I have been in Charlotte for a month, and in daily contact with farmers from every part of Mecklenburg county. and am informed that one-third the tillable land in each township is un occupied for want of tenants, and more is weekly vacated. From ad jacent counties. Rowan, Stanly. Ire dell, Cabarrus and Union, I learn conditions are similar. Universal scarcity of labor prevails throughout the central and Piedmont regions of North Carolina, Operative demands in newlicotton mills and labor wants on railroad improvements and exten sions have absorbed many country toilers. Immigration to Texas, Ok lahoma, Arkansas and Indian Terri tory have also diverted considerable rural population. Many Carolina farms will therefore remain unculti vated the coming summer. 'What relief would you suggest V I am asked. If the farmers don't look after their own interests no one else will It behooves rural property holders. whose lands are idle, in Mecklen-1 burg and adjacent counties to assem ble at their county seats, discuss their grievances, consider conditions and futures, and for conclusions as to what action is necessary for relief and the restoration of suspended ag- Karpen Stand XLhc Store has the exclusive sale in Celebrated Rowan Mattresses All kinds and prices, from a good Straw and Cotton to the best Felt made.

No Southern trunk line touches the Northern Im migration porta to bid for a division of European immigration for South ern distribution, and no railway ac tion is taken for such benefit. If the Southern country wants immigration to increase their labor they wul hare to employ their own agents to stay at the ixrt of New York and attend to Southern immigration interests. - The rural voter in counties In North Carolina which haws vacant farms should instruct their legisla tive representatives on the ZKceasity of State appropriation for the em ployment of an energetic and compe tent immigration drummer to go to Europe, enlist and direct suitable im migration to Southern territory, to occupy its untenanted farms and cultivate its deserted fields. A Southern port should be selected for the reception and distribution of such immigration, that no part of the labor force may be diverted by northern competition. Charleston or Wilmington woukl be appropriate seagates through which we could re ceive European Immigration.
