It has been needed for a Thef&9 Commission. other it has been deferred every time. Of course the desire and disposition on the part of Legislatures to be economical are to be commended ; but few people who understand what revising the Code means will question the wisdom of the Legislature in proyiding for it. The commissioners selected to do the work are capable uieu xi. Y. Gultoy, Professor ot v& at Wake Forest College, Judge T. B.

A PEEP AT OUB LAWMAKERS. Wednesday, 43rd day. Senate. Senator Aaron introduced a bill for the formation of a new coun ty to be called "Overman," in honor of the newly elected United States Sena tor. The territory ior the proposed county would come from Sampson, Lenoir, Wayne and Duplin, and Alt. Olive is proposed as the county seat. Senator Aaron said it would be the most prosperous agricultural county in the State. Petitions were still introduced for temperance legislation. A bill passed third reading author izing a special tax in Edgecombe coun ty tor meet special indebtedness. Tbe bill ior establishing a dispensary for Littleton was ratified and is now a law. Senator Warren presented a bill to allow ex Confederate soldiers to peddle without license anywhere in the State House. The House determined to go back to the Revenue Act of 1901 for the questions to be asked in arriv ing at tbe income to be taxed. That was Judge Graham's proposi tion and after a somewhat lengthy ar gument it formally went through. Tbe only question omitted is the one concerning interest on United States and State bonds. Here are tbe questions : What was your gross income during the twelve months ending June 1st? 1. From salary and fees? 2. From annuities? 3. From trade or profession? 4. Any other source except from property taxed? The pension bill was passed. There are few changes from the present law. Widows who married again are not. ex cluded, provided their second husbands are dead-. Only veterans who are three- foartbs disabled are eligible to pension. But- this does not interfere with any one now on the roll. Thecouiity boards wiii be en. posed ot the Clerk of the Court and three reputable Confederate veterans, who are to serye without compensation. The Board of Pensions is empowered to revise tbe rolls, and strike off any names tbey may consider should not be there, for any reason. The tax on undertakers was finally fixed. It is $25 for towns over 15,000 people, $15 for towns between 10,000 and 5,000, and $5 for towns under 5,000 The pension bill was laid before the House as a special order. mb. parker's speech. The News and Observer gave the fol lowing account of how Representative Parker, of Halifax, bandied the bill and his remarks upon it : "At this point, eleven o'clock, the special order, the pension bill, was laid before the House. Mr. Parker, oi Hal- fax, explained that tbe bill eliminated that part of the former law giving pensions to members of the State Guard. The present bill was so amend ed that only the Confederate soldiers and sailors who are disabled to the ex tent of three-fourths are entitled to pensions ; but those already on the roll are not disturbed. The Board of Pen sions is given power to revise tbe list and strike off any that they may deem best. The members of the county boards are compensated at the rate ol $2 00 a day for three days. "The section excluding widows who married again has been changed so that they can all draw pensions, pr vided they are widows again. "Instead of the Sheriffs and tbe County Commissioners constituting the county advisory board tbe present bill provides for the Clerk of the Su perior Court and three reputable Con federate soldiers to serve as the ad visory board. "Mr. Parser then proceeded to de liver an eloquent, riuging address upon the patriotic feeling that prompted the younger generation oi North Caro linians to stand by the old veterans so nobly. . COLDS ARE DANGEROUS. How often you bear it remarked, "It's only a cold," and a few days later that thennan is on his back with pneu monia.

T IKE A TERRIBLE CYCLONE grip I bacillus bas passed over our conn- try, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, leaving behind it a dark cloud of an guish and despair. Catarrh follows grip as effect follows cause. A multitude of catarrh victims will spring up in the trail of the awful epi demic of grip that has just passed over our fair country. The hope to these people is Peruna. Most people know this already. Everyone why has had the least touch of grip, should not fail to take a course of treatment with Peruna. Peruna eradicates every vestige of the disease and leaves the system in a nor mal condition. Hon. Joseph B. Crowley, Congressman from Illinois, writes from the National Hotel, Washington, D. C, as follows : " After giving Peruna a fair trial I can cheerfully recommend your remedy to anyone suffering with coughs, colds, la grippe and all catarrhal complaints." J. B. Crowley. Hon. George H. White, Congressman from North Carolina, writes : " I am more than satisfied with Peru na, and find it to be art exeel-en -smedj- for the grip and catarrh. I have used it in my family, and they all join me in recommending it aa an excellent rem edy." George H. White. Hon. J. P. Megrew, Superintendent U. S. Capital Police Force, of Washington, D. C, says : " Having suffered from the grip, I was advised by a friend to use your Peruna. "He expressed beautifully the heart felt thanks of tbe veterans to the pec- pie of North Carolina. "Mr. Parker was heartily applauded as he proceeded, and received an ova tion as he concluded. Many members ran up to shake his hand." Thursday, "41th day. Senate.
