THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, To THE Charlotte and Raleigh room ing papers: Let us have pence. Bewake of the man with a private bill to get through the Legislature In many instances they are loaded with self-interest and hurtful to the public welfare. Infokmatio.n comes from London to the effect that Kruger is siiplicant for peace anil has prepared a personal appeal to King Edward, urging 'the English government to state explicitly their terms for peace. Hon. William W. Kitchin, the bril liant vountr (onj;resmrin from I he Fifth district sends the Gold Lfaf a copy of his very excellent speech on the Reapportionment bill, delivered in the House of Representatives, Monday, Jan. 7th, l'JUl. Til eke is talk of the renewal of the war in China. Germany is the mov. lng power in the matter. It i an nounced that the United States will not join Field Marshal Count Von Waldersee's expedition, but will try to persuade Germany to desist. In France n wife has been granted a divorce on the ground that her hus band smoked a pipe. If it was one of those rank, rattling, villainous smell ing kind, such as some men of our acquaintance smoke, the poor woman was legally, morally and ri-iigi'oi-1 v entitled to divorce. The Raleigh morning paiers have for some lime been indulging in lan guage criminating and recriminating concerning each other, and now the News and Observer and Charlotte Ob server have been calling each other names and saying you are another. Behold how lovely it is for brethren to dwell together in peace. It is probable that no convention of the North Carolina Press Associa tion will be held this year and ih editors will go in a body to the Buffalo Exposition instead. If thi is finally decided upon the tri p will be taken i n June, about the time of the meeting of the National Editorial Association. How does this strike the brethren and sisteren? The vote on the Craig impeachment resolution in the House Monday was 62 to 33 in favor of it, the Connor substitute being voted down, 85 to . Now it remains to be seen what the Senate will do since the vote on the articles of impeachment against Chief Justice Furches and Associate Justice Douglas presents them before that body for trial. Tueke be expositions and exposi tions. This year the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo; in 1102 the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposition at Charleston; in 1903 the International Exposition at St. Louis in celebration of the centen nial anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase. For the latter Congress appropriates f5.000.00. Is the death of Dr. Geo. L. Kirby. Superintendent of the North Carolina Central Hospital, Raleigh, the State has lost one of its best and most use ful citizens; the unfortunate insane under his care a sympathizing friend and skilled expert; the medical pro fession one who honored and adorned it; his family one whose place cannot be filled. Dr. Kirby's success in the treatment of mental diseases had tamped him as worthy to take high position among the leading experts in his line. The death of such a man is a distinct loss to the State and to the medical profession. Coxgkessman-Elect Blackburn, of North Carolina, is credited with a joke, which does not happeu to be original with him, however. While in Washington City the other day on his way to the depot he asked the porter this conundrum: Whv does Oom Paul Kruger wear rubbers? the answer to which is To keep De Wet from defeat. It is well to keep his tory straight and give credit where credit is due, therefore the Gold Leaf volunteers the information that the bright young man who contri butes humorous paragraphs to the Philadelphia Record under the head ing of "In and About the City," first got that off, and not the honorable E. Spencer. La Orippe Quickly Cured. MIn the winter of 1S9S and 1S99 I was taken down with a severe attack of what is called La Grippe," sav F. L. Hewett, a prominent druggist of VVinfidd, III. ' The only medicine I used was two bottles of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It broke up the cold and stopped the coughing like magic, and I have never since Iwen troubled with Grippe." Chamberlain's Couh Bemedv can always be dependd upon to break np a severe cold and ward off any threatened attack of pneumonia. It is pleasant to take, too, which makes it the most desirable and one of the most popular preparations in use for these ailments. For ale by Melville Dorsey, druggist. Last week the Gold Leaf remarked on the double significance of the initial letter iu the name "Royal Baking Powder Company," finding that in its own experience they also btood for "Rare Old Beating Papers Concern." Previous to that in reply to a question asked by the Royal Baking Powder Company it was sug gested that if thev would follow the Golden Rule they might find it help ful if not altogether novel to them. Now. embodying tvo ideas into one, the scheme may be pursued still further and the following result pro duced : ayal Baking eating Powder aymcnt Company, ompletely denounce To the Statesville Landmark's ref erence concerning the defeat of the librl law, (if it shares the fate of the bill two years ago as seems very like ly it will) the (lou Leaf goes upon record as saying that it will not sup port any man responsible therefor, however remote or great that respon sibility may be, r gardles of the poli tics he may prof-.-s.

The Henderson Goi.n Leaf favors the establishment of the whipping post as a punishment for crime. Such punishment is in vogue in the Mount Olive section without the sanc tion of law. and that it is very effec tive, is proven by the fact that the criminal court does not have to deal with cases from this place. The shove is taken from the Mount Olive Advertiser of last week. In another place in the same paper the following paragraph was also printed: Since evil disposed persons in this place have learned that instead of a term in the penitentiary, the punish ment for theft is a severe whipping and banishment, there hasn't been a single ca-e requiring the attention of the criminal court.

In .submitting to the Legislature the biennial report of the North Caro lina College of Agriculture and Me chanic Arts, Governor Aycock sent a message strongly urging wiso treat ment by the Legislature of the college needs. These are urgent. Its ac commodations are by no means ade quate to the demand of students: the college has no chapel, and SfS.OJO or $10.00!) worth of textile machinery given to the college by friends is now largely unused and valueless for lack of a suitable textile building and motive power. The Governor points out that the college, the only one of its kind in the State, is endeavoring to train young men to ski lied labor in various agricultural and mechanical trades, occupations and professions, so as to meet the large and increasing demand of the State for skilled wor men mechanics, machinists, en gineers, electricians, dairymen, stock men, truckers, textile workers and educated farmers. He truly says that the college is not a philanthropy, but an absolute necessity and a valuable investment. Much that passes for philanthropy is an effort to mitigate human ills". Hy extra assessment upon individuals or community the attempt is made to ease the suffering due to social dis eases. The true philanthropy is to be found in a policy which will pre vent the diseases. The policy that will enable men and their families to be independent of charity, and will so develop all the sctivities'and possibil ities of a State that the wastefulness of so much charity will cease, is the correct one. The " provision for the proper training of the rising genera lion to meet the industrial require ment of North Carolina as well as of other States is. as Governor Avcock says, not philanthropy. It is a wise investment. The expenditure will be returned an hundredfold in the steady development of the State and in in creasing happiness of its people, able to do with their might what their hands find to do. Baltimore Manu facturers" Record. The Virginia Legislature has com pleted its work and adjourned. The time limit of the North Carolina is not far away, but so far the session has been devoted almost entirely to local legislation, little bills many of which would better not have been passed.

In discussing Mrs. Nation's crusade in Kansas, the Baltimore World, among other things, savs: But all the smashing of joints and iftws win never stop ine itqoar iraiuc so long as there is a desire on the part of men to use the products of the still. 1 herefore the better way would be to place proper safeguards'around the selling of alcoholic drinks and to allow only the pure articles to be sold. One of the great causes of druuken !1es in this country i the treating habit. That, too, might be regulated by law. If men were prohibited from paying for drinks for a crowd and the others doing the same in turn, each man would probably lake but one drink and go on about his business. But with the treating cit.-toin each man takes as many drinks as there are men in the crowd, and perhaps a round or two more. This is where the drunkenness comes in. It is the convivial spirit of men that causes it. Very few men start out with the deliberate intention of getting drunk, but many, otherwise temperate in the use of liquor, take it to excess when in a cr wd of "good fellows." The lupior laws everywhere might be modified so that drunkenness would be decreased without the interference with a man's rights and privileges. The subject is a delicate one, and resents many possibilities. That evil results from excessive use of alcoholic drinks is an established fact, and the regulation of their sale with a view to lessening the evils as far possible seems to be the only wav that better conditions can be ob tained.

Dr. Lyman Abbott made some start ling announcements on t he rights of th negro in the South fluting tbt eighth lecture on "A Study in the Problems of Democracy," in that citv t he night before. Mis lecture opened with a disci sion ot trie irxtian question, in which he said: 'barbarians have right- which civilization must respect: but barbarism has no rights in a civilize community.

It is time to call a halt on the local legislation that takes up so much of the time of the Legislature. The ses sion is more than half over, and few of the really important bills have been passed. The educational bill, the appropriations for the various State institutions, the revenue and machinery act, the divorce bill and a number of others, are still on the calendar, with no prospect of early passage. Almost the entire time has deen taken up with the incorporation of Zion churches, authorizing the building of bridges over little stream, appointing justices of the peace in mugwump township, enabling Podunk to issue a special tax for a calaboose, putting Jim Jones on the pension list, relieving William Smith from eight dollars he owes the State and county, and other like masterly acts of legislation. The General As" eembly knows nothing of local con ditions, and depends for its informa tion entirely on the local representa tive. Some means should be devised to prevent the local legislation takim' up so much of the Legislature's time0 Ii is costly business, and the Legisla ture's time is the State's money A large part of the local legislation is unnecessary, and should never be passed. Some of it is necessary, but could be attended to bytheC,unty Commissioners better, ami at far les expense to the State Raleigh Times. TIMELY FARM HINTS. Practical Sugrgton About Spr ng W ork and Tree Planting Rev. P. R. Law writes as follows in the Luruberton Robesonian on the timely subject of tret plan-ting and preparation f r farm work: This is the month for tree planting anl causing for the farmer. While ! the ground is too wet to plow he is ht ubbing ditch banks, the edges f hi fields and along road sides. This is important. No more valuable work could lie done. Not only is some of the best land in the field reclaimed and the crop near by protected, but his field is made to present a more descent appearance. We have never known a successful farmer who did not have regard to this important work. This should evidently consti tute a large part of the pleasure of the work of the year. Slovenliness in one respect indicates slovenliness in other respects. Therefore, when one sers crops receding from growths about turning rows, ditch banks' and elsewhere the natural inference is that the farmer is a poor one. That is not the class of farmers who suc ceed. Shade ami fruit trees should be planted now. The value of both cannot be overestimated. It would add very much. yea. dollars per acre to any farm to have a row of walnut trees planted along every road side. This tree, unlike nearly all others, we are told, does not impoverish land nor affect growing crops near by. With comparatively little ex pense most farms could be made much like a lovely garden. It is obvious that by this small outlay of money and labor any farm may be in creased greatly in value. The Salisbury correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says in a letter to t hat paper: Nobmly seems to have noted in print that in Zangwill's latest novel, 'The Mantle of Elijah." a reference is made to Vance as a type of the popu lar leader who is genuinely popular in sympathy.

(Communicated ) Referring to the whipping nost. the Durham Recorder truthfullv v. It i a silly prejudice that prevents the reinstating of the good old law." 1 he rederal government i indirectly responsible for the abolishment of one of the greatest remedies for thieves and robbers ever instituted, and when State lines were obliterated. State governments destroyed, and whole some penalties extinguished, a heln- 1-ss people were forced to accept any thing usurpers might grant hence the pen was substituted in place of tb post. Since this change justice has fled the country, burglary, lar ceny, forgery and embezzlement. have alarmingly increased. Why? Because the pen has no terror, but "in many instances it is a luxury. We know it is a common occur rence to sec in newspapers that such and such a bank has been wrecked, am! oflicers who have always borne the best reputation involved. We often see trusted men of valued institutions embezzling thousands of dollars, and escape. Some are arrested, convicted and aentenced to State prisons, often to do light work, live in comparative ease, ami hold to the stolen money. But reverse the penalty, let these manipulators, these sporting gentle men of pleasure.

' THE DOINGS OF THE LEGISLATURE DULY i RECORDED. Impeachment Proceedings Fewer Grounds for Divorce Not an Easily Influenced Legislature Compulsory Education or Not The Congres sional Districts Numerous News Notes of Interest. (From Our Regular Correspondent.) Raleigh. N. C. Feb. 18. lflOl. Ths House was kept in session all day Thursday and Friday and Saturday, two sessions leinjr held each day. to hear the argument on the impeachment resolu tions. Judges Allen and Connor, pro and con. were the leaders in the debate, but nearly all the more prominent members of the House judiciary committee (all lawyers) spoke on the subject Thursday and Friday and still the argument con tinued. Saturday morning the verbal batteries opened up again early, and it was talk, talk, talk! It really seemed that it would never end. Lawyers and laymen spoke again until everybody was worn out. At 4 o'clock Saturday evening the debate was begun anew, and kept up till a late hour. The House finally adjourned till Mon day, agreeing totakeavote then (today). The general belief of legislators is that the impeachment resolution will pass by about 20 majority. The "Smart Alecks'" have already selected the lawyers who must be em ployed to defend the Justices when needed. Here's the list, and I announce to a waiting world, well knowing how eagerly it. will be received and the im plicit confidence that will be placed in it: Frank 1. Osborne, W. I. Bynum. Spier Whitaker. F. H. Busbee. Possibly the 'Alecks'' will consent to add one or two to the list if found advisable. FEWER GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE. The divorce bill was argued in the Sen ate for hours on Friday and Saturday the contention being the amendment of the Senate committee adding abandon ment for three years to the three causes for divorce allowed by the House bill The bUl was finally made the special order again this time for next Wednes day. NOT AN EASILY "INFLUENCED" LEGISLA TURE. I was talking with Senator Brown, of Columbus, the other night and we were discussing the passage of the Aycock school-book bill by a unanimous vote in the Senate and with less than a score of votes in the House against it, and the efforts now making in some quarters to exempt graded schools in the cities and towns from its provisions a plan which would deprive the town school children and their parents of cheaper books. Senator Brown, who worked hard with Senator Aycock for the passage of the bill, said: "I think the vote was a high compliment to this Legislature, and shows bow devoted it is to the people's interests. I don't mean to say that an undue influences were attempted by any one in this matter, but the fact that the big book publishing firms were against it and had such a large array of learned and shrewd attorneys and agents at work here, would have led to thedevelop ment of a much stronger opposition had the Legislature been less devoted to the State and the people it represents, and 'influences' that are so often brought to bear in such cases had been attempted." COMPULSORY EDUCATION OR NOT. There is now pending in the Legislature a bill (by Mr. Whitaker. of Guilford) re lating to compulsory education that is an important one. It provides as fol lows: Section 1. That the Board of County Commissioners when petitioned by one- third of the qualified voters of the county or town, city or township of said county shall cause an election to be held under the general provisions of the Election Law. ftec. . mat it at said election a majority of the votes cast be "'For Com pulsory Attendance, anv child livine in the said county, town, city, township or townships, who shall have reached the age of eighteen years, without being able to read and write anv section of the Con stitution in the English language, shall attenn the public schools, unless educated by other means, until he shall be able to comply with the provisions of this act Provided, that said attendance shall not exceed sixteen months: Provided, further. this act shall not apply to any child who is physically or mentally unable to at tend school. Sec. 3. That the parent or guardian of any child willfully violating the provis ions of this act shall, upon conviction, be nned not exceeding five dollars for each o tense. Sec. 4. This act shall not be operative in any school districts where there are notsufficientaccommodations in the pub lic schools to seat children compelled to attend the public schools under the pro visions of this act. THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS. During the past week the joint commit tee on Congressional Districts held several m.-etings, at two of which party leaders from several districts appeared and argued for and against the proposition to apportion ten new districts at this session. The majority were against it. arguing that it would be best to put it off two years and elect a Congressmon-at-large next year. Strong arguments were made by some in favor of action now. The committee has reached no decision yet, and until it does neither of the three bills that have been prepared so far, mapping out the districts, will lie con- sidered in detail. A conclusion will be reached this week probably. MINOR MENTION. There is a bill pending in the Legisla ture to increase the tax on the gross premiums of life insurance companies in this State from 2 to 2 per cent., and the tax on local Ntib-ajrents of coninanien from 50 cents to 1. About 3.000.000 annually is collected in North Carolina in premiums on policies by the insurance agents of this State. The bill authorizing the Governor and Attorney General to emnlov counsel to defend the registrars of election last August indicted in the Federal Court bv Holton and his political schemers, nassed the Senate Thursday evenine. after a hot debate lasting three hours, and is now a law. All the Democrats voted for it and all the Republicans and Populists against it. The revenue bill was worked on all last week by the joint finance committee, but it is not yet completed. It is a burden some job. calling for the exercise of great care and patience The State's revenue will be considerably increased by the new bill when it is finished. The tax on in- r f a ulmP0!V a ta $20 on all re comes will be a feature, as well as that on tai!ers of cigarettes, and allow parents to railroad and corporation property. Cot- ton mill capital may be called on to pay more tribute than formerly along with mat 01 otner corporations. One of the most important bills Dassed within the laat few days was that afford ing better protection to owners of timber lands whose timtier it was alleged was often practically taken, without the con sent of owners, by lumber companies and others, who would put up a sort of claim and then cut the timber while the court were deciding the case.

Kirby, the able and efficient Superintend - ent oi tne nospitai tor tne insane at Kaleigh, has alarmed his friends during the last few days a case of grippe sud denly developing into pneumonia. and his eon from New York, and other relatives lieing summoned here. It is to lie sin cerely hoped that he will recover, for the death of such a man would le a positive loss to the State and a direct affliction upon the unfortunates committed to hi care. For North Carolina has never had a specialist that did a greater work more effectively than Dr. Kirby. The percent age of cures at the Hospital here under his administration is the highest ever at tained by any of the asylums in North Carolina, and few in the country surpass it. I understand that the passaee of the Willard bill, which amends the Craifr act. will cause about 20 fire and life insurance companies to return to North Carolina and will add not less than $20,000 to the revenues of the State. A number of old reliable companies like the Mutual ene- fit. Connecticut Mutual. Massachusetts Mutual. Industrial. Northwestern and others will at once return.

Ashe ville Citizen. 1 Catarrh has become such a common disease that a person entirely free from this disgusting complaint is seldom met with. It is customary to speak of Catarrh as nothing more serious than a bad cold, a simple inflammation of the nose and throat. It is, iu fact, a complicated and very dangerous disease; if not at first, it very soon becomes so. The blood is quickly contaminated b the foul secretions, and the poison through the general circulation is carried to all parts of the system. SaRes, washes and sprays are unsatis factory and disappointing, because thev dc not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S. does. It cleanses the blood of the poison and eliminates from the system all catar rhal secretions, and thus cures thorougb.lv and permanently the worst cases. Mr. T A. William, a leading dry-goodi mer chant of SparUulmri;, S. C, writes: 'For yean 1 naa a severe case of nasal Catarrh, rith all the disagreeable effects which belong to that disease, and which make life painful and unendurable.
