SOME IMPORTANT THINGS DONE
BY THE LEGISLATURE
Fifteen hundred and sixty-seven
kills passed through the reading
trlerk's desk during the sixty-four
days' session of the general assembly,
not quite equaling records that have
been established in former years, bat
"coming very much ciocer than the
general expectation at the opening
days of the sess.cn. Nearly 1.000
new laws had passed through the of
fice of the enrolling clerk before the
assembly adjourned,
that many n.w stat-u:
books.

For the first t.me since North Car

no tax was levied on property for
State ues. The revenue act provides
for taxes on incomes of m. I .vaiii.il.
and corporations, inheritance, pr;v.
legc. ttc, for its revenue. And in
furtherance of the tax reforms a sep
arate revenue commissioni with a
revenue commissioner, was formed to
have general supervision of the State
and local tax work in the State.
Two months ago when the general
assembly o.une into session para
moun in the minds of many mem
bers was the dissatisfaction of their
people at the workings of the revalu
ation act. Insistant demands were
made through a dozen or more hills
for a horizontal reduction m values.
Two months' steady vrk brought
forth a bill that provides for a local
adjustment of this vexation, and a
horizontal reduction by counties, if
found just. No act of the general
assembly found no. re general ap
proval. More generous was the hand of the
general assembly toward its institu
tions this session than it has ever
been before. Approximately $7,000,
OOO was apportioned among the va
rious educational and custodial in
stitutions for the education of the
youth ,.ml the care of the afflicted
in body, spirit and mind. Indeed, in
thU measure is $'!."(), liOO more money

ment with which to pursue its desti

Matthews bill providing for a $5,
000,000 fund for the ass. stance of
needy communities in the erection of
school houses.
Public health was further strength
ened and given increased appropria
tions for the continuation of its
work. Most important of the bills
emanating from tnat department is
the Bellamy bill requiring physical
examination as a preliminary to mar
riage. Measures for the safeguard
ing: of the medical, dental and phar
maceutical professions were enacted.
These latter were the subject of
sweeping attack at the hands of oth
er branches of the healing cults, but
went through finally without mate
rial changes.
IThe general assembly removed a
sore a generation old when it passed
the State-wide stock law in mid-session.

REPUBLICAN PARTY IN
THE
SOUTH CONSIDERED
Whether the South's representa
tion at Republican national conven
tions is to be cut was to have been
practically decided in Washington
last week, according to the corre
1 spondent of the Greensboro News.
This was made plain by Will Hays,
j chainmau of the Republican national
i Miiniittee, who was in Washington
I for the dual purpose of attending
! committee meetings and taking the
oath of office as postmaster general.

balance of power.
The sub-committee of the national
committee, hea led by Representative
Slemo of Virginia, was to meet to
formulate a preliminary report on
building up the party in the South
by reducing its representation and
making the party more respectable in '
that region. To do this. Republicans
appeared agreed, the Southern negro
must have less voice in the affairs of '
the party and the white Republicans
must be encouraged.
Some time between last week's
meeting and June 1 the national com
mittee wii! meet again and announce

MAY RAISE FUND AS MEMORIAL
TO WILSON
The nation-wide tribute to Wood
row W ilson which has been proposed
hv a number of his admirers probably
will take the form of a $500, 000 fund
to be contributed in small amounts,
the interest on which will be devoted
to rewarding the one who during the
year has done the greatest service to
I humanity, says a New York dispatch,
j The nature of the service for which
' the award will be made, it was an
nounced, is to be defined by Mr. Wil
son, who has been informed of the
project and who is said to have ex
pressed himself as deeply apprecia
tive of the honor paid him and of the
purpose for which the monev is to
he used.
The idea originated with women
adnrrers of Mr. Wilson, who worked
in the last campaign to gain support
for the league of nations. The pro
posed fund at 5 per cent would yield
if 2.",000 a year, and would be award
ed by a jury. It would compare fa-
vorably with a Nobel peace prize,
which amounts ordinarily to $ 10.(100

RHEUMATISM
Physician Believe a Real Remedy for
the Disease Has Been Found
Rheuma, the wonderful rheuma
tism remedy sold by druggists every
where, gives quicker and more last
ing relief than other remedies cost
ing many times as much.
Rheuina helps pass the deadly poi-j
sonous secretions into the bowels and
kidneys, from which they are quickly i
thrown off in a natural, healthy way.
Read what a reputable physician
says about Rheuma: "I have made!
a most careful investigation of the
formula employed in the manufac
ture of Rheuma, and I heartily rec
ommend it as a remedy for all forms
of rheumatism. I find Rheuma far
in advance of the methods generally
employed in the treatment of rheu
matism, and altogether different in
composition from the remedies usual
ly prescribed." Dr. M. C. Lyon3.
This should give any sufferer from
rheumatism confidence to try Rheu
ma. Ballew's Cash Pharmacy will

X&t leas meat if yon feel Backaohy or
have Bladder trouble Salts
fine for Kidneys.
Meat forms urie acid which excited
and overworks the kidneys in their efforts
to filter it from the system. Regular eat
ers of meat must flush the kidneys occa
sionally. You must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
acids, waste and poison, else you feel a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, diz
ziness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or tire times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before break
fast for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fins and bladder disorders dis
appear. This famous salts is mads from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate slug
gish kidneys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases.
