I Prepay Fretehton all Wort fi Anintn nnr WArtr trltlt f bat a ONE VERY important thing to bo considered by the Legislature, is the mat ter of improving the public roads. To be sure, every locality has its peculiar road environments. What will meet the emer gency in cne place may not meet it in another, but some general legislation may be of help. Every citizen in the country is interested in the improvement of roads, and whatever is done by tho Legisla ture ought to be accepted by all if it is for the general good of the State. Then local conditions can be met otherwise. THE ENTIRE country has been greatly Interested in the killing ol Editor Gonzales, of Columbia, S. C, and every turn in tho case has been carefully watched. It i3 gratifying to Tead such words of Scrupnloxis Newspaper. IU , , v, , T a praise as the following from the Norfolk Land mark relative to the scrupulous course of the State, over which Editor Gon zales pre?ided: "The Columbia State has conducted itself in an exemplary manner with reference to the trpgedy which removed its brilliant editor. It turned over to the Columbia Correspondent of the Charleston News and Cour ier the function of reporting all the news relating to the shooting. It h.is carefully refrained from any effort to prejudice the case of Tillman before the people or the courts. Not every newspaper is so scrupulous." WE HAVE seen no clearer statement concerning the President's attitude to ward the negro and the South than a brief editorial in the Biblical Recorder pf last week whose closing paragraph was as follows : "The President may or may not disclaim It; but ha in pieaoLiijj and pracwcjiig the doctrine ofsociai equality. In this he-does the negro a worse injustice than he does himself. The negro race is now all prostrated with high notions not aspirations but superficial and exceedingly foolish pretensions. And the President is encouraging them. The South Is safe. It should cease to be concerned. It cannot save the negro from hi3 mis guided friends ; it cannot save the President from his impulsive and unwise course. But it can and will save itself." SOME TWO weeks ago President Roosevelt gave a reception to which he in vited a number of colored men and their wives. Hon. E. W. Pou, Congress man from the Fourth district, is said to have beat a retreat when he discovered that the President was putting social equality into practice at the White House, and a number of guests got away as unceremoniously as possible. Hon. Claude Kitchin, of Scotland Neck, Congressman from the Second district, being asked if he was present was quoted as saying : "I have never been to the White House. I suppose President Roosevelt has a right to select his own associates and I have a right to select mine, so I don't go there. In the light of last night's prece dent I don't expect to go there, as I know I would not feel at home there un less I did as Mr. Dooley suggested that is, 'black up for the occasion,' " Truth "Worth Bepeating. Couldn't Black Up. Get What Thsy Want. THE Richmond TimC3-Dispatch has some pleasant things to say about what it regards as a good organization in North Carolina. It prints the following paragraph : "Over in North Carolina they have an organization known as the Associated Boards ol Trade of North Carolina. Its membership consists of delegations or commit ters from all the local trade organizations of the towns and cities of the State. It gees without saying that it is a very influential and powerful organization, and it generally gets what it goes in search of. It is just now in search of lower freight rates to and from the leading points in the State, and they pro pose to get the same by moral suasion. If their present plans are adhered to they will make the life of the average railroad man miserable until they get what they want. By the way, why has not Virginia such a State organization?" WHILE MUCH is being said about child labor and how to protect the chil dren from unreasonable tasks in factories, there is another class of persons which deserve to be looked after. They are the trifling and drunken fathers who compel their children to labor in the factories and mills while they tbemselyes loll around home, beat about around town and hang around bar-rooms. In a large town in this State a good woman and her daughters went on a mission of mercy to help those who were in need. They were astounded to find at one place that the girls were in a factory at work and the father loafing around the house with the pretense of helping his wife cook. Tco many trifling fellows of the kind live on the labors of their children and do nothing themselves, and some of them actually take the money that their children work out and drink it up. This is no matter to be guessed at. It is an actual occurrence in almost every factory town in the land. Some effective legislation against such practice would be a great blessing and relief to many a poor tired and toiling child. How Can They be Reached? HON. LEE S. OVERMAN GETS TuZ SENATORSHIF. Won on the Sixty-First Ballot After a Three Weefef Contest. Morning Post, Jan. 30. Hon. Lee S. Overman will succeed Hon. Jeter C. Pritchard in the United States Senate. The nomination v'as given him on the sixty-first ballot last night after a fight extending over a period of three weeks, in which three of North Caroli na's ablest and biigbtsstmen have con tested for the nigh honor. When the result ol the sixty-first ballot was announced the wildest en thusiasm broke loose. It was with difficulty in fact that the report of the tellers could be heard. The galleries cheered and screamed and members mounted chairs waving hats and hand kerchiefs. As soon as order could be restored sufficiently for one man's voice to be heard above another, Senator Webb, of Buncombe, was recognized. He moved to make the nomination of Mr, Over man unanimous. Governor Do uahton ' seconded the motion, and the caucus again went wild. The leaders for the other candidates were equal to the oc casion and enced the fight with the same good feeling that has characterized it from the beginning. The motion to make the nomina tion unanimous was adopted with a whoop and pandemonium broke loose again. The cheering lasted several minutes. On motion of Speaker Gattis a com mittee was appointed to wait upon Mr. Overman and the other candidates and escort them to the hall. As the next Senator was ushered in the great assembly rose and loud ap plause shook the building. As he marched down the aisle members grab bed him by the hand. He looked the model Senator. Dressed in a neat fit ting black prince Albert and wearing a small button hole bouquet, his handsome-face wearing a look of dignity through which bearded pleasure and satisfaction. - Behind Mr. Overman came Messrs. Craig and Watson. As the former came down the aisle a member yelled, "Three cheers fer Locke Craig," and it was given with hearty good will. Like enthusiasm greeted Mr. Watson, the gallant soldier who has been so strong a factor in the fight. When the candidates had been es corted to the front the doors were thrown open and in a moment the hall was packed by a dense throng, and everybody was filled with enthusiasm, not specially to cheer the nomination of Mr. Oyerman, because the prize fell to him. It would have been just the same had it been one of the other gen tlemen, lor all are Democrats and wor thy of any honor the State can bestow. All are capable, loyal and great. All are loved by North Carolinians and the success of either meant a signal for Democrats to cheer and applaud the nominee. Ringing speeches were made by the candidates, punctuated with applause at almost every sentence. A resolution by Mr. Watts was in troduced thanking the caucus chair man, Hon. Geo. L. Morton, and the secretaries, Hon. Walter Murphy and Hon. Fred Carr, for the efficient ser vices they rendered through the pro tracted contest, which was adopted. MILLIONS PUT TO WORK.

To Cure a Cold in One Stay Lqrative Droxno Qninino cUfai Cures Grip in Two Days ca every fcc2.25cY The Raleigh correspondent to the Norfolk Pilot compiled the following from the proceedings ol Wednesday, 28th: "Another immense number of peti tions for temperance legislarion pro cured through anti-saloon organiza tions" in various sectious of the State was presented in both branches of the legislature. "In the Senate bills were introduced to prevent the sale of liquor in Har nett county and to allow Guilford coun ty to voteon a $250,000 bond issue for road improvement. The remainder of the session was consumed in a long dis cussion ot the bill allowing Tarboro to vote on the question of abolishing the dispensary there. "The fight was on the amendments reported by the committee to Senator Gilliam's bi'l, which he objected to, re quiring the vote for the repeal of the dispensary law to be by a majority of those voting, and for the election to be held in thirty days instead of ten days, as provided in the original bill. Mr. Gilliam named twenty days as a com promise and appealed to the senate to stand by him and defeat all amend ments. He was supported in speeches by Messrs. Warren, Norris, Woodard, Crisp and Travis, while Messrs. Lon don, Brown, White, Mitchell and Lamb ppoke for the amendments. The com mittee amendments were stricken out by a vote of 26 to 11 and tho original bill as amended by Mr. Gilliam passed its second reading. Objection was made by Mr. London to a third read ing, but the rules were suspended and it passed final reading. "In the House bills were introduced to allow a special tax in Dare and Rob eson counties ; to provide for official court stenographers for all judicial dis tricts of the State ; to establish a dis pensary at Wilson, and to prevent ibe obstruction of waterways in Brunswick couuty. Bills were passed to drain Matamuskeet lake ; to incorporate Bottsburg, Bladen county, and Shell meriine, Pitt county." PRESBYTERIAN PASTOR PRAISES I MIMA. 1 1 rLN 1 MrK '"-V,", ...

THE day was when men of promi nence hesitated to give their testi monials to proprietary medicines for publication. Thia remains true to day of most proprietary medicines. But Peruna has become so justly famous, its merits are known to so many people of high and low stations, that no one hesi tates to see his name In print recom mending Peruna. A dignified representative of the Pres byterian church in the person of Rev. E. G. Smith does not hosHate to state publicly that he has used ?evuDa in his family and found it cured when other remedies failed. Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby terian church of Greensboro, Ga., writes : "Having used Peruna in my family for some time it gives me pleasure to testify to its true worth.
