Wilder, of Louisburg, said to the editor ot The Com- World's Highest Bridge highest bridge in the world when it was built. The Raleigh and Gaston rail road was built about seventy years ago, and that was really in the early days of railroad building. There have been long strides in such work during the years that have lapsed since then ; and there are doubtless many bridges now much higher than the bridge that spans the littla Tar away up there in the hills. SIR. J. A. Stikeleatiier, ol Olin, N.

This same farmer killed three fc montns old pigs, weighing respectively 229, 236 and 213 pounds. All this goes to show that intensive farming pays better than extensive farming over broad acres of poor land. This is a good season of tho year for farmers to study such mattere. There have been several postofiica past few months.

In short, they Are You Dissatisfied? cause they they do enjoy. The following clipping well expresses the case with such peo ple : "There is an old story about the farmer and his wife who were not satis fied with their homo and decided to put their farm in the hands of an agent for sale. Soon thereafter they read of a beautiful place which they decided would exactly suit them. They culled own farm they had so much admired withdrew it from the market.

To Cure a Cold in One Tfcb chaster, OUR LEGISLATURE. The Bills and Measures Passed in a Week. A PEEP AT OUR LAWMAKERS. Tuesday, 30th day. S en ATE.-r-The substitute bill giving medical schools for dissecting the bodies of certain people who die oi are executed in North Carolina passed. It now proyides that only the bodies of executed criminals or of felons who die while in prison, shall be used, though even these can be secured by blood Lin to the second degree, or by the husb and or the wife. The bil1 is im perative in that i-he body of no Con federate soldier or his wife be used un der any circumstances, nor docs it per mit white bodies to go to colored schools. All bodies are to be embalm ed, there is to be no expense to the State, and the professors of anatomy in the medical schools of North Carolina are created a board for ths disposition of the todies. Senator White's bill to appiopriate $200,000 for public schools is not a new appropriation, but changes the provis ions for the distribution of this amount which has heretofore been appropri ated. The bill proyides that appropri tions from this amount shall be only to make a four-month term for needy districts. It is further designed to ayoid difficulties and inequalities that have arisen under the former appropri- tion by specifying conditions under which districts will be entitled to aid and restrictis:g some. House. The bond issue bill was in troduced by Governor Doughton, which calls for an issue of Stale bonds to the amount of $400,000 at 3 per cent, payable fifty years after January 1, 1903, The bonds are to be of denomi nations of $100, $500 and $1,000. Wednesday, 31st day. Senate. The bill requiring tags and branding of concentrated commercial feeding stuffs was taken up aniL. passed with amendments. These lequfro a sample not exceeding two pounds in weight to be taken of stuffs in order to see if they come bp to the guarantee, these to be analyzed by the State Chemist. In order that there shall be no hard ships upon the farmers and mills of the State the term "concentrated feed ing stuffs" is not to include hays and straws, the whole seeds nor the un mixed meals made directly from the seed of wheat, rye, harlej', oate, Indian, corn, buckwheat, broom corn, sorghum, cow peas, or sc-ja beans. Neither shall it include pure grains ground together, but should unmixed meals and grains ground together, referred to in this section, be found, on ana'ysis, to be adulterated, they snail be subject to the provisions of this act. When the bill concerning tbe prohi bition of the sale of fire crackers more than three inches long, spring guns, etc., was presented, benator wcite made an urgent plea for the small boys and the spring gun, telling of its aid in making marksmen out of American lads, as shown by the deeds of Ameri can sailors and soldiers. He told of his own happy days in the woods, and said if this thing kept up the Legislature would soon pass a law to prohibit boys from climbing trees. Tho bill was finally postponed and Senator White will speak again for the small boy and the spring gun. Tho bill making a misdemeanor of walking on railroad tracks with a fine attached was quickly squelched when it showed up with n unfavorable re- j port, being tabled. It is understood that this bill was sent in bj request of the Southern Railway. House. There were two very im portant bills on the calendar but neith er one was the occasion ior much dis cussion. One was the bill incorporating the North Carolina Farmers' Protective As sociation. This passed second and third readings with practically no dis cussion and without any opposition wbateyer. The other was the Audubon Societv A MOTHER'S RECOMMENDATION I have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for a number of years and have no hesitancy in saying that it is the best remedv for coughs, colds and croup I have ever used in my-family.

Bey Cures Crip in Two Days cm every bill for tbe preservation of cur eccg and game birds. Messrs. Brittain and Etheridge wanted to exempt their re spective counties of Randolph and Dare from the provisions of the bill but they were voted down by big ma jorities. Mr. Brittian also objected to the provision of the bill exempting the game wardens from liability to action for damages in tho performance cf their duty. The biir passed its second read ing. When the bill came up the House took recess for twenty minutes and heard Prof. T. Gilbert Pearson of Greensboro, who had d raited tbe bill and was the moving spirit in the or ganization of the Audubon Society ol North Carolina. Prof. Pearson showed with great lorce and clearness tbe ne cessity of dolDg something to preserve our birds, the faithful allies of the farmers in destroying harmful insects, and the scavengers of the sea. He was listened to with great attention and was warmly applauded. Prof. Pearson spoke of th9 great, mi grations of the 13,000 species of birds known to exist in this country. Tbe sea-birds, be said, were the scav engers of the ocean. Some birds are of great benefit to humanity by feeding upon the seeds of certain weeds. But the principal service they perform for mankind is in the destruction of in sects. He described very graphically and beautifully the methods pursued by the birds in destroying all kinds of insects. The swallow, he said, was known to consume over 700 insects, in one day, and the robin twice its own weight every day. One nest full of thrushes he had watched had consumed over 5,000 worms in a day. He spoke of the amount of money brought into the State by the Northern hunter?, who rent privileges from the farmers, and so influence the farmers to keep away irresponsible hunters, thus preserving the birds. The disappearance of the passenger pigeon and the North Carolina parakeet was dwelt upon. The law, he said, wr.s being violated all the time by shipping partridges out of the State, and even mocking birds. The insect destroying birds were rapid ly disappearing, partly on account of the advance of civilization, but most ly by wanton destruction. He told how the gulls and terns were slaughtered on our coasts by Northern plume-hunters, while in the Northern Statse the coasts were paroled by game wardens, to protect these scavengers of the sea. Not only were they scavenger, but they actually showed fishermen where the school of fish were and warn ed mariners by their cries at night. Statistics had showed that one-tenth of the entire agricultural product of tbe United States was destroyed last year by insects. Thursday, 32d Clay. Senate.

It has bean noticed, however, that a steel shoo be comes hot after a brisk trot of a couple of miles, under conditions where an iron shoe would be unaffected. This heat, besides showing that the foot h?.3 been jarred, causes the hoof itself to crack and dry up so that after a few months' shoo ing with steel the izet become bad.

The tendency oi mec ical science is toward preventive measures Tbe best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It is easier and bCtler to preveui than to cure.
