Raleigh, Jan. 29 -.The House and
Senate committee on immigration unani
mously decided to report favorably on
Preston's bill directing the agricultural
department to seek immigration em
ployment agents in the United States
or abroad who may without fee act as
agents of such citizens of North Caro
lina as desire through the agricultural
department to accede to the expense
of bringing immigrants to their land
or industries. The board of agricul
ture will devote 10,000 to this division
of its work, the efforts to secure immi
grants will be confined to the United
States and to the Anglo Saxon, Teu
tonic, and Celtic races abroad Many
prominent cotton mill men and farmers
urged the bilL
Raleigh, Jan 29 In the House Laugh
inghouse introduced a bill prepared by
the Corporation Commission and in ans
wer to a letter signed by fifty members
of the House requesting the committee
to say what additional powers it de
fired the legislature to confer upon it
for the more efficient discharge of its
duties. Laughinghouse said he hoped
the bill would give the Commission
power to do something and that it
would do something: and if it did not
he trusted that two years hence the
Commission would be abolished.
The bill requires all transportation
companies to establish and maintain all
such public service facilities as may be
reasonably just. Requires when piac
ticable and Uie necessities of the public
demand that any railroad shall instal
and operate one or more passenger
trains and any two or more railways
intersecting shall make close connec
tion. The Commission is to carefully
examine the condition of each road,
its equipment and management, regard
ing public safety and convenience and
if found unsafe to immediately require
the company to make repairs. . The
Commission is empowered to make just
and reasonable rates for telephone ren
tals and messages. ' .
It is authorized to prevent discrimi-
dation and unjust or unreasonable rates
and can employ counsel whenever nec
essary. In transmitting this bill the
Commission wrote that if enacted ic
would enlarge its powers and enable it
to give greater service to the State,
In Virginia the Corporation . Commis
sion is established by the constitution
can issue injunction and mandamus
render judgments for penalties, an 1 is
sue execution and appeals must be di
rect to the Supreme court To confer
this power to them would require a con
stitutional amendment but it would add
greatly to the efficiency of the Commis
sion and if the legislature concurs in
this view the Commission will prepare
a bill for such amendment to the con
stitution. Raleigh Jan 29th. Laughinghouse

it Said the Dntch nets at the mouths
of their streams had effectially pre
vented the getting of any
shad by citizens living in interior
counties and would eventually destroy
the industry in the Sound as it had
been destroyed in the rivers. He said
that since the bill yesterday passed
second reading great shoals of Dutch
net lobbyists had come here and were
working in every quarter of the Capitol
to defeat it today. He begged that
the demands of eleven counties as
against the private interests of three
fourths of rieaufort county be given
attention and the bill passed. Douglas
moved the bi'l be recommitted.

motion prevailed.

on executive usurpation of

in taking charge of all branches of the

venijeance. Ten houses were burglarized
last night, and at four pla;es women

were made at other houses but they

Raleigh, Jan. 31. At this evening's
hearing of railroad men before the Sen
ate and House Committees, . Ganeral
Superintendent Frank Gannon, of the
Norfolk & Southern, and Assistant Gen,
Counsel, George Elliott, of tho Atlan
tic Coast Line were the speakers. No
one so far heard has made a better
impression than Mr. Elliott He and
Mr. Gannon attacked demurrage feat
ures of railway regulation bills and de
clared the roads were handicapped by
lack of trackage and yard systems.
Mr Elliott suggested that the com
mittee adopt the Interstate Commerce
act as regards free passes for tho bene
fit of uniformity. Chairman Graham
said the Committee agreed that the
free pass provision in the present law
so nearly agrees with the Interstate
provision that it would not be dis
turbed. Raleigh 31st The Senate and House
committees on liquor traffis this after
noon decided to favorably report bills
abolishing barrooms at Windsor and al
low its citizens to vot on prohibition
or dispensary. Abolished the dispen
sary at Creswell and allow Dunn to
vote on prohibition or dispensary.

CUTICURA REMEDIES
WORTH WEIGHT IN GOLD
"I cannot help expressing to you my
most sincere thanks for the benefit
which I have derived from the use of
C'uticura Remedies. They represent a
perfect miracle and each set is worth
it weight in gold to suffering humanity,
liver pince the time I grew into man
hood I have been suffering from a dry
eruption which at times appeared very
extensively, and at other times, but to
a limited "degree, on my body. I con
sulted a number of medical men without
result, and last January I was affected
with a terrible eruption on my hands,
scalp, and face, which was so bad that I
could not even leave the house, so I
finally resorted to Cuticura.
"In the morning after breakfast I
took a tahles poo nful of Cuticura Re
solvent, the same after dinner and
supper. Three times a day I washed
myself with Cuticura Soap, and three
times a week I took a hot bath with
Cuticura Soap and applied Cuticura
Ointment to the parts that were pain
ful. So far my Cuticura Remedies rep
resent an outlay of only a few dollars
and I am completely restored to health, "
while formerly I had spent dollars upon .
dollars on doctors, remedies, and oint
ments without getting cured. Needless
to say, I am quite ready to spend my
last cent for Cuticura Remedies. Henry
