North Carolina ia to the front all the while in something. While the farmers of Eastern Carolina do not seem to take to wheat raising very much the entire State does not disre- gard it. The following which we clip from the Southern Farm Magazine, shows a good yield for a ten-acre lot : "On the Belleyue farm in Mitchell county, North Carolina, 467 bushels of wheat were raised last year on ten acres of land. This yield does not include the rakings, which were estimated at fifteen bushels." x Orders at the Virginia Military In stitute mean something. The first class, consisting of 35 cadets, were dis missed last week and their connection with the institution ceased. The of iense was a disregard ot regulations and remonstrances against pyrotechnic displays on New Year's eve. Every effort was made to induce the cadets to abandon their purpose, authorities had found out. which the but to no avail. They smuggled a great quan tity of fire-wor'ss and made more than a Fourth-oi-July demonstration, but the cadets who engaged in it are there no more- Tney were from twelve dif ferent States. They were not dismissed so much for the crime committed as for disturbance and insubordination. It is going the rounds that leaders of society in Philadelphia and Wash ington have started a movement to be gin and end social occasions at earlier hours. To most oi the readers ot The Commonwealth it makes little differ ence what hours the society peopie of Washington and Philadelphia keep ; but there 13 a deal of good sense in the suggestion, loung men and young women who have-duties to periorm every day (and all have them, or ought to have them) are poorly pre pared to meet such duties unless they get the proper amount of sleep. "Tired nature's sweet restorer," says Young's Night thoughts ; and truly there is no function of nature more requisite to etrorjg physical life than plenty of sleep. And those who keep late hours do not get it. The Statesville Landmark makes the following complaint against our language : "The English language is 'fearfully and wonderfully made.' This, for in stance, from the Wayiit ville Courier: "A baby still holding 44 gallons was brought in from Fine's Creek Sat urday and excited considerable inter est.' "At first glance we wondered what kind ol a baby it was that held 4i gal lons and how they gauged the baby's capacity. A second reading disclosed that a 'baby still, holding 4.1 gallons,' was a rcinature sow-paw plant that had been in operation in the Haywood dells, and which ionie Ivartless reve nue officer had picket up while its owner was making a Christmas run." The people of North Carolina are watching with great interest the pro ceedings of the present Legislature. Much is expected of them by every body in the State. The Democrats of the State, who sent most of the mem bers of both branches of the Assembly to Raleigh, expect much of them in redemption of the pledges ot the Dem ocratic party's representatives on the stump and in newspaper offices during the campaign ; and the Republicans, are also expecting such legislation as will improve the condition of North Carolina in eyery way and make possi ble a continuation of Democratic rule for years and years to come. In all these things let the General Assembly meet present expectations oi all. To the Public?

THE LEGISLATURE. What Oar Law Makers Are Doing For Ncrth Carolina. WOSK OF TEE OPENING DAY. The General Assimbly of North Caro lina convened Wednesday, Jan. 4th. The usual excitement and bustle at tended the opening. WEDNESDAY, JAN. 4 FIRST DAY. SENATE. At 12:05, m., Lieuten ant Governor Reynolds rapped lor or der, the floors cleared of visitors and Rev. N. M. Jurney, of Mount Olive, opened the session with a fervent prayer. THE TEAYER. "O, God, our Father, we recognize our dependence on Thee in all things. We owe our lives to Thy grace, mercy and forbearance. Make us grateful for the past. Grant that we may never fail to follow Thy Law. We beg for wisdom from above to guide our words, thoughts and actions. Bless these men who have been elected to come here. May the Lord camp around and about them. May no sickness bother or sin visit them. Grant that no man may do aught that is shameful or sinful, or that will bring disgrace upon him. Keep them from all wrong. Guard their homes while they are absent that no troubles or dis ease mav visit them. May they have wisdom m making and unmaking our laws. May no partisan feeling lead them to do anything that is wrong. Bless the State and grant that all that can be done, may be done for educa tion, industry and religion. We com mit ourselves and all that ,is ours to Thy keeping. Bless the presiding officerof this body. Give to him wis dom and all grace and cause a spirit of kindness to prevail. Guide and lead us,' O, God, and when our work is finished here, may we all have a home in that upper and better world through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen." Immediately after prayer Hi!I E. King, clerk of the last Senate, called the roll, 'all the Senators responding except Senator Collie, of Louisburg, who was ill at his home. Th9 swearing in of the members began and proceeded in the order of the districts, the Senators coming for ward in groups of five to present their certificates and take the oath to obfcy and uphold the Constitution and laws of the Stat9 and nation, the Lieutenant Governor, of course, administering the oath. C. C- Daniel?, of Wilson, was elected principal clerk. Walter Murphy, of Salisbury, was elected reading clerk. J. B. Smith, of Fayetteville, was elected doorkeeper. Frank A. Clinard, of Hickory, was elected engrossing clerk. M. W. White, of Iredell, was elected assistant doorkeeper. E. B. Norvell was appointed en grossing clerk. Senator Fields, of the thirtieth dis trict, sent forward a memorial in the usual form, in behalf of Messrs. Eaves and Lambet, of the 31st district in the matter of the contest. The memorial was read and ordered referred to the Committee on Election when or ganized. The memorial of E. P. Jones, of Sampson, was read to the same effect and referred. The chair announced that he had re ceived a letter bearing notice of con test and the evidence in the case of Mr. A. Cannon against Senator Franks, of the thirty-fourth district. At the instance oi Senator Justice it was also referred to committee. Senator Brown moved that as the Senate was proceeding without rules, the Senate rules of 1895 be adopted for the guidance of the body until other , rules should be adopted. The motion prevailed. Senator Justice moved that a com mittee ot three be appointed to act with a similar committee from the House iu notifying the Governor of the State that the Legislature was as sembled, organized and ready for ousi- ness. Ihe motion was adopted and the chair appointed as a committee Messrs. Justice, Glenn and Franks. Mr. Glenn sent forward an amend ment entitled an Act to regulate the pay of clerks and other employes of tho Legislature. The amendment pro vided that wherever the word "five" occurred in the present act fixing the compensation of the employes, the word "four" shall be substituted. The act was read, and on motion of Mr. Glenn the rules were suspsnded and the bill passed its three readings with out a dissenting vote. The rules were suspended and the bill ordered sent to tho House without being engrossed. Tin bill, if passed by the House, will h:wG the effect of reducing the pay of the "principals engrossing and read m clerks and their assistants, and of the doorkeepers and assistants from five to four dollars per day. HOUSE. As the steel-blue hands on the white-faced clock in the hall of the,Honse of Representatives pointed to the hour of noon, Mr. E. O. Masten. the principal clerk of the House of 1897, on whom devoted the duty or organizing the present House, rapped for order. He announced that Rev. Jesse H. Page would offer prayer. All the Rei resentatives, as well as visitors in the ; Mr. S. A. Fackler, Editor of the Micanopy (Fla.) Hustler, with his wife and children, suffered terribly from La Grippe. One Minute Cough Cure was the only remedy that helped them. It acted quickly. Thousands of others use this remedy as a epectfic for La Grippe, and" its exhausting aftereffects. E. T. Whitehead & Co. mmonw: "EXCELSIOR" IS OUR MOTTO. lobbies, rose in devout manner while the divine blessing was invoked. THE PRAYER. "O Lord, our God, on this bright and auspicious day we come intb Thy presence with glad and grateful hearts Thou art worthy to receive the adora tion and praise of all people from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof. We acknowledge Thee to be the creator of all things in heaven and earth, the Sovereign Ruler overall Thy works, and the Giver of every good and perfect gift. Thy tender mercies and loving kindnesses which are over all Thy creatureo have especially been with us the dwellers in this goodly land this highly favored common wealth of ours. Truly fhou hast done great things lor us, whereot we are glad. "The lines are fallen to us in pleasant places, yea, we have a goodly heritage. We have been kept from the pestilence that walketh in darkness and the de struction that wasteth at noonday. Thou hast helped us in our recent political struggles to choose men to make our laws who, we believe, are wise, honest and patriotic citizens, not office-seekers, but those who hear and heed the call of their country men not impelled by any motives of greed or gain. "Now that they have met here for entering upon the performance of these .important duties, may e very member and the presiding officersof this Legislature be endued with the wisdom which is from above : which is peace able, gentle, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and hypoc risy. "God grant that this Legislature may not disappoint the expectations of the people who sent them here, but' ; may the laws which they enact) be such as shall pro mote the best interests of ail classes of the people, and set our beloved State on a new career of righteousness, peace and prosperity, which shall extend to all parts of our State. May we as a people never forget the kind hand of our Fathel which has led ua, and sus tained us, and given us all our vic tories. May we show forth our grati tude by walking in obedience to Thy laws, and proye ourselves the people whose God is the Lord." Ihe usual proceeding oi appointing the caucus nominee as temporary o! ficers followed the prayer. The roll call was then announced, the Representatives coming forward by counties, in batches of ten, to take and subscribe to the oath, which was ad ministered by Justice Walter Clark, of the Supreme court of North Carolina. At the conclusion of the roll-call, Mr. Mastin announced that it showed a quorum present.' Representative Cochran, of Montgomery, being the only absentee out of 120 members-elect. The nomination of a Speaker to preside over the deliberations of the House was then declared in order, and Mr. Locke Craig, of Buncombe, was recognized. He said : "I rise for the purpose of naming a man already well known m North Carolina, and beloved by its people from the mountains to the sea. He is the pride of the judiciary ol the State ; he has filled with distinguished honor every position In which he has been placed. His conservatism and honor will inspiro courage and confidence in our people. There is no man in North Carolina better qualified to grapple with the problems that must arise in this House than is Hon. Henry G. Connor, of Wilson. A Democrat of Democrats, his zeal is tempered by conservatism, and his character is above reproach. A ripe 'scholar, a noble patriot, an experienced legislator, he will preside with ability over this House which must be history making m the history of North Carolina." This nomination, enthusiastically ap plauded, was seconded by Mr. Lee S. Overman, of Rowan. He said : "It gives me, great pleasure to sec ond the nomination of Judge Connor. He is my friend the friend of every body. Of unimpeachable character, a great judge fair, impartial, cool, con servative, just and considerate, the Democrats of this House have acted wis2iy in choosing him. For. it every body in North Carolina without regard to party, will say, 'Well done, well done, North Carolinians ' " The Republican nominee, Mr. W. W. Hampton, of Surry, was placed in nomination by Mr. A.B.Bryan, of Madison, seconded by Mr. H. S. Wil liams, of Y-adkin. The vote resulted : Connor, 92 ; Hampton, 22 ; Johnson, 2 ; Mitchell, 1. On the announcement ot this vote Mr. Masten appointed a committee composed of M?ssrs. Craig aud Hamp ton to escort the Speaker-elect to the chair. Before taking his seat Judge Connor said : "Gentlemen of the House of Repre sentatives of North Carolina : This body convenes at a a period of intense interest to us and to those who shall come after us. We are reminded that we assemble at the close of a ceutury. New questions and conditions stir the hearts and engage the minds of the people. These conditions impose high and most responsible duties. The his tory of the State for the past few years is known of ali men. Whether the re cord made by us is to be one of honor and is to promote welfare of the State will be in a large part for the present General Assembly to determine. We are called upon to legislate for the best interests of the whole State aud its people "There are questions to be here set-1 tied. Grave questions they are and the f. deal with them wisely and with firm ness. Times come when conditions demand what appear to be radical Coughing injures and inflames core lungs. One Minute Cough Cure loosens the cold, allays coughing and heal3 quickly. The best cough cure for children. E. T. Whitehead & Co. EALTH measures. Tjbat time has come in the history of North Carolina. The people expect us to discharge this duty. Let them not be disappointed. "To preside over thi House is an honor at any time, but by us at this time and under such conditions as confront bs should gratify the ambi tion of any citizen. And 1 assure it does gratify the ambition of him upon whom you have conferred the honor. "In the consideration of tho business before it this House must conform to have rules and regulations prescribed by the government of legislative bodies. I bespeak jrour assistance m this respect, and now declare the House ready to proceed with the transaction of the business that has called it to gether.5' At the conclusion of this short speech the oath of office was ad ministered to Judge Connor by Justice Walter Clark and the House proceeded to the electiou of the other officers named by the Democratic caucus. Brevard Nixon, of Mecklenburg, was elected chief clerk ; W. R. Stallcut, of Macon, was elected doorkeeper ; Thos. J. Wood, of Randolph, assistant door keeper ; W. .W. Wilson, of Raleigh, reading clerk ; J. S. Elmore, of Swain, engrossing clerk. A resolution, offered by Mr. Winston, of Bertie, was passed to the effect that the rules of order used by the General Assembly of 1893 be adopted until further order by the House. On motion of Mr. Moore, of Jack son, the resolution from the Senate appointing a committee to wait on the Governor was concurred in and the Speaker named the following persons to represent the House : Walter E. I Moore of Jackson ; Lee S. Overman, of Rowan, and R. J. Petree, of Stokes. At this point the first House bill of the session was introduced by Mr. Francis D. Winston, of Bertie. It is an act to repeal the present law in re gard to the public printing and was accompanied by a joint lesolution. The object of this bill and joint resolution," Mr. Winston explained, is to take the public printing Jrrm the present persons and give it to others more in harmony with the surround ings. But lor the lateness of tha hour I would ask its immediate considera tion." Mr. Overman, of Rowan, wanted to know whether or not there was no.v a contract between., the present printer and the Stale. Mr. Winstor Mr. Overman contract?" "There is one and Council, of "There is not." "Is there no sort of between the printer State," replied Mr. contains a wonderful Winston, "but it provision whereby either side can kick out whenever it sees fit to do so." "On account of the lateness of the hour I will not ask consideration of bill and resolutions to-day," said Mr. Winston. "Let tbem go to the calen dar." This completed the business of the first day's session of the House. , THURSDAY, JANUARY 5 SECOND DAY. SENATE. Rev. Levi Bronson of fered prayer.

He thought some good laws iiad been passed at those pessions, and believed that dis crimination ihould be used in the matter. The rules were suspended, the bill passed and sent to the IIou.e without engrossment.

Senator Fields did not wish to be understood as opposing it, but thought that under the Consti tution it could not be done. Senator Osborne, of Mecklenburg, said that the clause of the Constitution referred to was identical with a clause of the United States Constitution, except that in the latter a word was spelled "chuse," whereas the State Constitu tion spelled it "choose." It had been decided that the United States Senate could elect a president pro tern. Sen ator Fields withdrew Ins objection. Senator Jerome nominated Senator R. I. Smith, oi Stanley. Senator Fields seconded the nomination. The Republicans made no nominations, and Senator Smith was dulv elected. HOUSE. Dr. Daniel of the Pr.by terian church in Raleigh oiified prayer.

Among the most import ant measures was the bill to repeal the act against emigration agents. Mr. Frank Thompson, of Onslow, the au thor of the bill, said he thought tho law of '91, passed to prevent Peg-Leg Williams taking negro laborers from the State, had served its day of useful ness and n.nv ought to be repealed. He thonght negroes, like while ieople, ought to be allowed to go where tliey liked or could do heft. He, for one, was perfectly willing for them all to leave .North Carolina. Mr. Ray, of Macon, thought tho law a good one. lie ha; I voted for it when passed and now lie didn't intend to back water simply because the Radi cals had charged that it us dutio b keep 1 lis negro here. The l.nv was de signed to prevent iutei lerenre of emi grant agents with farming o;orjit ion in the eastern part of the Stale. They always took out of tlie.-'t.tio ihaMronj.., healthy negroes and left the old iv.a'. weak; often they came in and look them after the crop had been phinU'd and advances made by the land owner.
