What the Legislature Accom plished. The legislature which adjourn ed last week will long be remem bered in this state for certain legislation it fashioned and for its contribution* to the needy and suffering. Lack of space necessitates a cursory glance at the work done by the General Assembly, and e for this reason details must be left out. However, it is our pur pose to take a hurried glance at a few of the paramount laws passed. Lieutenant Governor Winston said that, in his opinion, the pledges of the Democratic party had been fulfilled by the legisla ture just adjourned. If this be true, and we believe none can deny it, there is cause for exul tation for every loyal Democrat in the state, for the pledges made were extensive and as difficult cf accomplishment. Perhaps railroad legislation took up more time than any oth er matter before the General As sembly, and certainly none can SELAH THE DEHOCRAT PRINTERV We take great pleasure in stating that the word, "Selah," sig nifying silence, is simply to give notice that we have been doing too much PRINTING to spend time telling you how busy we really were. And we are still "silent" outside our office, but my! you just ought to step inside! "QUICK SERVICE" We have inaugurated that plan and have had it stereotyped for the future, and we are just itching to show you how qiiick we can do good work. Our presses are busy but we can put on that "rush job" of yours and give it to you when wanted, and in a satisfactory manner. Originality We pride ourselves for new and original ways in getting out printed matter. The attractive manner in which our artist puts in execution his new ideas gain much for us.

C. • deny that the pledges of the party on this matter were car ried out to the letter, for passen ger and freight rates were re duced even more than it was ' thought possible they might be. t We in the early part of the legislature, urged caution in 1 the matter of a reduction of pas senger rates, arguing that there 1 was a possibility of "killing the goose that laid the golden egg." And we are frank to say that the flat rate of 2 1-4 cents, when ap plied to all roads of the state, is ; not just what we would have had it, in justice to the railroads 1 themselves, which, for the work ! they have done in the state, must surely deserve some considera tion. And because of the gigan ! tic task .they are called upon to perform, of double-tracking, en larging and bettering their sys tems in many ways, we believe the rate will be a handicap tP that development which is more I essential to the citizens of North Carolina than to the roads them-1 selves. It is rumored that the railroads will carry their cases to the courts, and there is a possi- Supplement —THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT, March ai, 1907 bility that the rate adopted will never be effective. A reduction of 25 per cent in freight rates on intra-state busi ness will amotmt to much. But | freight legislation in that respect i cannot affect Interstate business j and unfair discriminations from which this city and this state are suffering. It is well enough the Senate and House repudiated the penalty amendment which was a great injustice to the roads. Perhaps the greatest contribu tion the legislature made however was that to that class upon whom the hand of Providence has rest ed heavily, the insane. When the people of the state heard of how hundreds of insane people were being ill-cared for, in coun ty jails and poorhouses, the hearts of the people were touch ed, and thereupon the Democrat ic party made as one of its most sacred pledges that promising re ! lief to the mental defectives. To 1 show how fully this pledge was | remembered it is only necessary I to point to the appropriation of $125,000 per annum for four years for this cause, in addition to the large appropriations here tofore made. And then we come to that hon ored and beloved class of our citi zens—the small remnant remain ing—the old soldiers. For them the legislature appropriatedsl2s, 000 on top of the present appro priation. The Democratic party has always been the friend of the old veteran. It had promis ed to further care for his wants and the job was done maernif.- centlv. Next we come to that army, numbering one thousand, of the state's children, who have erred and who have been arraigned in the courts to answer various charges of lawlessness. N The party had made no 1 promise for the betterment of their condi tion. But the same heart that was touched by the appesl of the orphan, the mute plea of the deaf and dumb, the sad call of the insane, the feeble entreaty of the aged veteran, was also touched by the tenßer cry of erring, wilful youth. The call was not made into deaf ears. For months and months the good people of the state had worked for the establishment of a state reformatory and the legislature did its part. A reformatory was ordered established and an ap propriation was small, but the ground rail has been laid and the potency of the claim will grow and the demand for more aid will be answered. Another cause that was neat ly furthered was that of prohibi tion. Asa result of the meeting af the legislature, prohibition laws are in effect today, where once liquor ruled, and in other counties the people have a pri vilege to vote on the issue. In a, number of counties, Burke, Mc- Dowell and others, whiskey was legislated out of the entire county. In some towns, Scot land Neck for instance, a vote [ was allowed. In both cases the legislature acted fairly and ac cording to the principles of Dem- I ocracy. In the case of those counties like Burke, the majority ' asked for prohibition and the;- | 1 got it. That is Democracy in in truest sence. In Scotland Nec |; which was not under the Watt law, a vote on the liquor ques- J was ordered, thereby placing that town under the Watts law and giving the majority a chance to say whether they prefer liquor ( or prohibition. It is a significant fact that this is the only act I I passed by the legislature opening Ito a prohibition town the possi .! bility of voting saloons, j In its legislation on the liquor question, the legislature, we re -1 peat, acted fairly, and in accord -1 j ance with the principles of ma- I jority rule, no matter what li quor men may claim to the con tray. j The cause of education was greatly aided. The legislature ' had promised to further the , cause of education and it kepi its vows. • Steps were taken to secure de sirable immigrants in our state to develop our resources and to aid us in making North Carolina second to none in the country. But, we cannot elaborate further on the work done by the legislature just closed. On the whole, it did a great and good service to the state. Thousands are provided for today who were before in need. Many good causes have been advanced. In fact, the record of the legislature in a source of pride to the De mocratic party £fnd to the peo in general.—Charlotte News. Mont Bedford Concentrated Iron and Alnm Water Contains such a remarkable combina tion of natural minerals that it has made a reputation for itself by curing Chronic Diseases after many other treatments had failed. It is 150 times as strong as the Nat ural water, and one 18 oz. bottle of it equals 25 gallons. Only a teaspoon ful is necessary for a dose. Its equal cannot be found in the treatment of Indigestion, Rheumatism, Catarrh, Kidney and Bladder Female Complaints, Malaria, Nervous ness, Stomach and Bowel Disorders, Piles, Inactive Liver, Scrofula and oth er Blood and Skin Diseases. This Water is simply a Natural treatment for Chronic Diseases, and is by no means a patent medicine. By its use you can be cured in your own home, at the cost of 3c oer day even better than your rich neighbor who spends several hundred dollars, and loses severel months time by going to the Springs. We do not want your money unless we can do you good. Read what it has done for others. TESTIMONIALS I think your Iron and Alum Water a fine tonic, also 3plendid for inactive kidneys and Indigestion.
