Houses fixes Salary of Commissioner Lauor ana Printing at $2,000 News and Observer, 29th. Senator Latham's bill to pro mote trie draining of wet, swamp and overflowed lands, yesterday passed its second reading in the Senate, and will be taken from the calendar at noon today on its final reading. There are a few amend ments which will be considered, but no fear is entertained for the successful adoption of the bill as it came from the committee, ex cepting an amendment or two to perfect the law. " The bill provides for leveling, ditching and draining of such lands, the establish ' - - - &J V A drainage districts, and for the as sessment and collection of the cost of the work of reclaiming wet swamp and overflowed lands. The provisions of the bill, which has been endorsed by the State Geo logical and Economic Survey, are familiar to the public. The Empie bill to prevent the selling of quail or grouse within the State of North Carolina for a period of two years passed its final reading in the Senate after several amendments had been defeated. The Senate passed on its second reading the bill by Senator Kluttz to prohibit the sending of public documents with the "compliments" of the officers of the State. The bill provides that no report, docu ment -or publication of anv kind distributed by or from any depart ment or bureau of the State hall contain any notice that such report or publication is sent with the "compliments" of an officer of State, or with any special notice that it is so Bent, except that notice that it has been sent, with a re quest for an acknowledgement of its receipt, may be given. ' The Manning bill allowing the governing body of a city or town to appoint an inspector of gas, water and electric meters passed its final reading in the Senate. The House amended the Senate bill fixing the salary of the Com missioner of Labor and Printing at $2,500 by reducing it to $2,000, an increase of $500 per annum over the present compensation of that State officer. The bill will now go to the Senate for concur rerce in the House amendment. Life insurance statistics show that in the last twenty-five years the average duration of life has increased by two years. This is encouraging and due mainly to greater medical and surgical know ledge, improved sanitation, and general better conditions of life. If more people would stop burn ing the candle at both ends by fast living and injudicious habits the coming years would show an even greater increase. It is only too true, as the refrain of an old song says, that with many people, "It is not the miles we travel but the pace that kills." Certainly the pace of our modern American life is too rapid and it is to that fact we have so many nervous wrecks and sudden deaths. The solicitors salary bill was killed in the House Wednesday on its third reading by a vote of 46 to 62. Many amendments were offered, but all were voted down except one by Mr. Koonce to pre vent the solicitors from drawing the $20 now paid ont of the State Treasury. JThe bill as defeated was the same that was passed on second reading Tuesday the Koonce bill as ' amended to make the salary $2,250 instead of $2,750. h Farming is easily tbe most lm oortant of our industries, uast t V inrlni-ff'iaC T fl 5 OOl'tant Ol OUT lUUUOinw. i t n t rnrlnftc year ttie value ui an reached the enormous touu oi i, 778,000,000, which was four times that of all our mineral products, including- the precious metals.

A special train having aboard theleading officials of thA rw. jina, Clinchfield and Ohio railway the great new line just being com. pleted from the coal fields of the West and connecting with the Seaboard Air Line at Bostic, was here Wednesday.

Learning that they wouH spend a snort tim hpr a rlolorrot; t representative citizens of the town headed by Mayor Suttle met the special train Tuesday morning and were most courteously received The officials, although ready to accord any information of interest to the public were not in a position to give out anything definite now other than to say with definite ness that as far as connection with the Seaboard at Bostic was con cerned this would be accomplished by February 15th, and coal laden cars would be ready on that date ior delivery to the Seaboard. As to passenger service, plans are as yet unmatured. This much we can say with accuracy 'through vestibuled - trains from Johnson City to Charlotte and Marion via Shelby, will be in operation with in the next ew weeks. The track has all been laid from Johnson City to within five miles of Bostic and the Seaboard con nection will be made by the date above mentioned, February 15th. It will then be up to the Sea board people to -complete the ballasting, which work has reach ed Mt.

Chairman of Directors Potter assured the delegation that while the plans just now were incomplete and tentative, that within the next few davs a statement would be giv en the public as to plans and pur poses in inaugurating passenger and freight service. riews rrom Kumerrora.
