SECOND SECTION, NUMBER 91 left j ' THE OLD RELIABLE stwEit7R&-' Abso!iitcrPure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE Market Letter on Cotton. , By private wire, J. E Latham & Co. New York, February It,. At one time today it looked as if tbe bottom would drop out of the cotton market,- but the support soon appeared, and May rushed to 9.S8 with July ranging from 0.14 to 9.18. The holiday, Lincoln's birthday anniversary, tomorrow ' made things rather dull,- and no one wanted to sell Bhorl. The Liverpool market was. disap pointing la tbe extreme. Rome 4 points oft when it should have been up 0 points at least. .On ih: bails of Liverpool pri ces, we should have been selling at 9.20 for Hay and not 9 85, but the bnll clique continued herd, and in New Orleans, and this was enough to holl .;ur prices. Many who sold May arooiM Die "were buying It back.' The mu ket may be shoved higher, ' but we we disposed to believe the bull crow l '.ill over' step the mark. If receipts continue ' larger than Ustfor this month, and a? it looks tbe movement Is fairly . liberal, wo should have a reaction. May could be rushed to Of very easily, but we would rather wait and see what is going on at tbU level be fore buying. V 1 C. W. L-.-e&Oo rni-chliiB Mny Fllea.

Its Pedagogue Walls For Company. February 7. All well.lhla is a healthy place to live, and we all get along lively whether we work or not. Mr D J Willis has plenty of hog and hominy, hog of his own raising, he killed about 800 lbs. of nice pork, and has some twenty-five hogs for another year. Mr Cooper Adams is one of the pros petous ones too, ho has lots of sweet po tatocs on hand, and meat enough nearly to last him, he too, hss some 25 hogs for another year. Mr Cicero WHUj, Is another prosper- on citizen, with one or two others, but tbe most of us live on the lutcreet of tho money we have spent. Fish and clams, with a few ducks and geeeo now and then. Some have clams In beds sold, but not delivered, and the buyers can't handle thorn now. O J Willis bas about 000 bUBhcls in his bed, sold and undelivered. Our school is slowly going on, very slowly, attendance very slim, out of some 32 pu pi la of school age, only about eight go on an' average, cause, children won't go, and parents won't make them go, no law for that. Wonder, if our Leg islature will notice this lack of civiliza tion in our State ? Hope thoy will. Rev. Usrey, our preacher, was absent at his appointment on the 4th Sunday in last month, but showed up last Sunday the 1st Inst. . and preached three good sermons, but our hearers are not numer ous, and the preacher don't have to bor row a sack to carry off his money' in. Our crack-shot deer hunters are jubi lant over the prospect of another feast of venison soon. Henry Willis andjMlcajah Adams have just finished and launched two brand splinter new sharpies. Adams built his and Willis brought his from 8. Dixon & Son, half finished when bought. - ; We wish to state, for : the benefit of some of our cltlzenB, that there are a few families here that seem to want Ihelr ' children educated, : among them are D. J. Willis. Edwin Willis, and Olcero Willis, Mr. Cooper Adams is an other one in favor of education, but he has no children of school age.:; While these mentioned, seem all right on that line so far as talking Is concerned, they don't show it much by their actions In visiting the echool. the teacher : Invites them to come to the school bouse but they don't often, some of the principal ones, not at all.yv;U,:'v:'4' I'' -t. Visiting the school by parents is a good thing ' for tbe children, even if the parents are . not educated. Parents and guardians, visit your schools, and visit them often, It will pay you. i C '', We hope a law will be passed soon to make parents send their children to school, and as the wrangle for United States Senator Is over, hope they will settle down to good business in the legls lature. . W laatlaet Strong- Than Will, A curious story Is told of Darwin and snakes. Be used to go Into the Lon don Zoological society's gardens, Re gent's park, and, standing by the glass case containing the cobra de capello, puthls forehead against the glass while the cobra struck out at him, Xha glass .was between them. Darwin's minawas perfectly convinced as to the inability of the snake to harm him, yet he .would always dodge. Time after time he tried it, his will and reason' keeping him there, his Instinct making him dodge.' The instinct was stronger than both will and reason. y - Inlaadta Iiolatlaa.

Raleigh, February 13. The committee of officers of the State Guard today prao tfcally completed Its work of drafting a bill to make the State Guard law, con form to the new condition. The changes are very practical, particularly tbe one which extends the term of officers. These terms of service have frequently been so short as to be absurd. In one case an excellent Captain was ousted simply because he was strict; not a mar tinet but a careful follower of the regu lation and the proper duties of his of flee! ' Today a pair of 0 Inch mortars and beds arrived here and were placed at the Vance Statue In the Capitol square. Senator Justice who is making such a fight for an increase of taxation of rail ways, and particularly their franchises says the value of personal property and real property in this State, as assessed for taxation is not far from GO per cent of the true value, and that railway prop er.ly is assessed at about 25 per cent of its truo value. A rather queer condition of affairs Is shown by the status of a bill to allow the corporation commission to regulate the speed of trains through towns. A number of Httlo places along lines of the great roads have laws limiting the speed of trains within their limit to 4 miles an hour, and some of these little places have very large boundaries. The result 1b that the speed of the. fast through trains has to be cut down, to the Injury of the service. Of course these tralnB do not stop at these small places, nor Is there need of It, but these local laws mil itato greatly against tho quickness of the service and are really a serious thing t the railways in making schedule tlaie. Col. and Mrs Bcnnehan Cameron have occupied their home here. The residence has been remodeled and made one of the handsomest in North Carolina, It is un derstood that Mr Peter Mayo, Mrs Cam eron's father' will Bpend considerable time here. The Attorney General has been re quested by Legislative Committees to give an opinion as to what the license tax shall be to all on all amendments to charters., A number of bills amending charters are now being held up, awaiting the opinion of the attorney general. The amount asked for from the State for aid in keeping the public schools open four months in the year Is no less than $140,000. This is even more than was asked for last year. Tomorrow the Legislative Committee will meet at the penitentiary and exam ine the guards who had charge of the convicts who marched from Bpruce Pine Mitchell county to Marlon. Tbe promoters of the Audubon bill to protect the birds are greatly pleased at the large vote for that 'measure In the House. ' The joint committee on agriculture favorably reports the bill to appropriate $50,000 for an' agricultural building at the Agricultural and Mechanical College here, ..-'' - The movement for an extension of Raleigh's boundaries is raising quite a stir, and tonight there is a great fight over it before the Board of Aldermen. Sheriff Page of this county is stopped by Judge SImonton's restraining order from collecting tax on the salary of Judge Pu well. The other Federal offi cers In this the eastern district, : under Judge Purnell's application for. injunc tion, can come In and make themselves parties in the matter. i. h :a Two days ago the ( sub-committee of the Finance Committee of the Legisla ture decided on a tax rate of $2.60 a mile on the Southern Express Company, The full committee cuts this down to $2.00 per mile. At the lattor rate, the tax will yield $3,800 annually. The full committee doubles the tax on telegraph companies, in making it 25 cents per wire mile. . This county, which now has a road district extending, only seven or eight miles from. Raleigh; proposes to pit the , whole county under the good roads law, and so will ask the Legisla ture to allow it to issue $300,000 of road Improvement bonds. , , a . iCapt.

FIHE SHOWIHG Hade By State Insurance Depart ment. State Guard Officers Convention. Railways Contend For Equal Taxation. Private Insti tutions For Idiots and Inebriates. RALEian, Feb. 11. No department of all In the State government makes a finer showing than the Insurance De partment of which J. R. Young is the head. He prepared a statement from which your correspondent gleadt s me figure. - During 1903 the Insurance com missioner collected from insurance com panies In taxes, $101,173 in fees, $11,400 and for licenses $20,734 making a total of $142,815. The entire expenses for the department Including printing were only $4,139. Tbe cost of Insurance in the State has been very greatly reduced since the for mation of the department in April 1899. In 1898 the fire insurance risks written n North Carolina aggregated $61,044,- 514, the premiums on the same being $1 008,744. In 1901 the risks written amounted to $118,544,025, the premiums thereon being $1,524,189. Tho difference In the average rales Is so great that if the amount written in 1901 bad been written at the rato in 1898, the year be fore the Insurance department wes formed, it would have cost the people of North Carolina $329,364, more than was paid last year. The State undertakers and cmbalmcrs examining board met here today and ex amined several applicants. J. M. Harry of Charlotte presldlng- This morning the Senate and House committees on Insane asylums visited the hospital for the insane here. It in spected the building and met and had a conference wltL Superintendent McKec and also Superintendents Murpby, of the Western Hospital and Miller of the Eastern Hospital. The railways are making a very earn est fight against the section of the ma chinery act of 1901 which gives the State tax commission no discretion whatever in arriving at the value of railway fran chises. The complaint is made, and Is well based that railway property Is taxed much higher than other classes of prop erty, certainly farm lands. Cyrus B. Watson, who Is here as the regular at torney of the Norfolk and Western rail way says the people of North Carolina want to do the fair thing. By this he means that they want all property taxed equally. Mr. Watson says an examina tion of land sales for the past ten yearB compared with the price at which such land is assessed for taxation will show how gross the under valuation has been He declares further that this under valuing is deliberately done by the coun ties so as to keep down the State taxes, and he makes an earnest plea for a stop page of all authority to counties to levy special taxes for their own purposes. He says as soon as this practice is stop ped by the State the counties will incl dently assess property at the true valua tion, and thus the State will be vastly the gainer. Judge Purnell has not filed his opin ion in the Durham right of way case. He is ready to do so, but counsel desired first to present printed briefs In addition to the arguments which were made Mon day and yesterday. A favorable report is made on the bill to make private hospital and sanitariums for insane idiots and Inebriates a part of the State system. The reception of Ine briates in the State Hospital has not proved a success, and It is said that these private institutions will prove a great re lief. The Raleigh Chamber of Commerce decides against an extension of Raleigh's limits.- k:':" The Legislature will pass a bill allow ing the people of Elm City, Wilson eounty, to vote on the question of wheth er there shall or shall not be a dispen sary there. . T ' Some months ago the Board of exami ners of State institutions in their report to the Governor said the convicts at a camp near Dover on the Atlantio and North Carolina railway were not prop erly fed and quartered. The Legislature sent a Committee there to look into this matter, and this sub-committee Is now preparing its report. At the time the charge was made by the board, the peni tentiary authorities made specific denial of it. r The State Guard convention was held here today, Col. T H Bain presided. The convention of one hundred officers unan tmously endorsed and accepted the pro visions of the Dick bill. A eommittee composed of Gen. Royster, Cols. Bain and Armfield, and Lieutenant Bradham is now in session making needy changes in the State Guard law to confirm to the Dick bill. , Audubon Bill Passes House. Special to Journal. Raleigh, Feb. 11.
