The CiiATriAJti Record sensibly says: "That railroad legislation that will most benefit the people of North Carolina and is most needed is that Yes, We Need Freight Regu lations Most. towns much more if all the railroad companies Would give North Carolina as favorable freight rates as are given our Virginia and South Carolina neighbors." While we all rejoice at the good strides our pf'opl4 are mailing in edu cation, is there not some danger of bringing too much pressure on children n studies Is There Too Much Pressure on Children? they can spell the words of four and five syllables in Webster's blue back speller, or before they" can read an ordinary newspaper article intelligent ly? It is well enough to make pupils advance as fast as possible, but "make haste slowly" is a safe rule in almost everything. Thoroughness in a few books is better than to cover so much ground that is not understood. While the North Carolina Legislature and the Legislatures in other States have been giving much thought to the reduction of passenger fares, Awful Record for 30 Days. from Dec. 30, 1906, to Jan. 30, 1907, was twenty-four railroad accidents with one hundred and eighty-eight persons killed, one hundred and fifty six injured and thousands upon thousands df property, lost. We still be lieve that, with such monthly records, the travelling world vould prefer to pay the fares they have been paying if by so doing they could get better and safer service on the railroads. With freight rates well reduced so as to benefit the poor who are not able to travel, and safety enhanced s as to make travelling less dangerous to those who are able to travel. th country would be fully as much benefited as it is by reduction in passen ger rates and these other inconveniences an d dangers left in statu quo. The more we observe the course of Hon. John H. Small, Representative in Congress from the Third district, the more we are impressed with his Hon. John H. Small's Good Services. of North Carolina, and in this has rendered the entire State good service. For some years he has studied the inland waterways of Eastern Carolina and Virginia and has persistently put before Congress the needs of liberal appropriations for their development. On February 2nd he made an able speech in Congress on the river and harbor appropriation bill, in which he strongly urged the claims of Eastern North Carolina for improvements in her waterwajs, especially for what is known as "Norfolk-Beaufort Inlet Waterway." As outlined by Mr. Small, this waterway extends from Nor folk up the southern branch of the Elizabeth River, thence by the Albe marle and Chespeake Canal, through what is known as the "Virginia Cut," and the North Carolina Cut, thence by North River, Albemarle Sound, Croatan Sound, Pamlico Sound, and Neuse River, thence by Adam's Creek to the head thereof, thence a cut of 4 miles to the head of Core Creek, and thence by Core Creek and Newport River to Beaufort Inlet. Before Mr. Small had concluded his remarks the Speaker announced that his ti me was up, but by consent of the House he was allowed to finish his interest ing speech. Mr. Small closed his speech with the following emphatic sen tences: "Now, Mr. Chairman, it may be asked, if this waterway is of such transcendent necessity as a local the promotion of our coastwise trade, saving to commerce, why has it not been recognized by the River and Harbor Committee of this House, which initiates legislation and recom mends appropriation for such purposes? This is one of the mysteries which I am unable to explain and which dwells in the minds of the distin guished chairman and the members taken the trouble to study the subject. I speak from a sense of duty when I say this project has not been treated fairly by the committee nor by its chairman. While the pending bill was being framed it was only considered at all by a subcommittee, of which the chairman of the full committee was also chairman. The chairman of the subcommittee declin ed to give the project his approval, and this deliverance was taken as bind- lrg upon the subcommittee. It has not been considered at all by the full committee, because the chairman declined to grant that privilege. So far as this particular measure is concerned, it has been excluded from this bill because the chairman so decreed. This is not deliberate legislation; but it is a form of legislative tyranny, and ought not to be tolerated. Neither the chairman of the committee nor any member of the committee will de bate this project upon its merits. I challenge a discussion here or else where. I invite criticism, because out of criticism will come a recognition of its merits. The people of North Carolina whom I have the honor in part to represent, my colleagues from that State, the Representatives from the seaboard States directly interested in this waterway have a right to demand its recognition and construction. Applause. This much I may say in all modesty, that so long as I occupy an humble place in this House, so long as my colleagues are here to speak for the right, so long as these other Representatives from the States to be directly affected are in Congress advocating its merit3, so long will it remain a live issue, until it shall ultimately receive the recognition of the committee and be enacted into law. Applause. I desired, Mr. Chairman, an opportunity to say this much upon this subject. I have spoken seriously. I feel that the measure has not been treated fairly and that there is warrant for the pro test I have made. Equal justice will yet prevail, and before many years shall have passed the demand of tide-water Virginia and North Carolina and the demands of those who represent our coastwise trade will be fully recognized by the committee and by the Congress.

(Youth's Comfinion "A seat in the.Senate is.to pubic men m the United States undoubtedly the most attractive postion in the govern ment. Cabinet ministers an govern ors of states will resign their offices to accept senatorship; and whenever there is an impending vacancy which is not certain to be tilled by the rc Election of .the sitting member, one Or more memGerb Ct iM House of Rep resentatives become candidates. On the other hand, a Senator rare ly resigns. Two Senators only have jresigned during tha last ten, years m each CasG for a rOasoh tfiat did not imply that the Senator was weary of the position. It was not always so. During the ten years from 1795 to 1805 no less than forty-five Senators ' resigned. ivventy-one benators resigned during the four years of John Adam's administration, when the Senate consisted of only thirty two members. The result reached . only in the I last half century of the change in the view public men entertain of service in the Senate is that the terms are greatly lengthened. Sen ators are elected and reelected to an extent unknown in the earlier days; When Congress adjourns on March 4th, forty-two of the ninety mem bers will have served more than one term of six years. The collective service of all the Senators will have reached seven hundred and ninety five years, an average of eight and five-sixths years. One Senator, Mr. Allison, is just completing thirty-four year? of ser vice; Mr. Morgan thirty years; Mr. Teller, twenty-eight years; Mr. Hale, Mr. Frye and Aldrich, twenty-six years; Mr. Cullom, twenty-four years; Mr. Berry, twenty-two years; and Mr. Daniel, twenty years. Every one of them, moreover, will still be a member of the Senate. Six others have been Senators more than two full terms each. Contrast this with the first half century under the Consitution. Of the original members of the Senate, one served fourteen years, two others twelve years, and two ten years each. Up to the year 1850 Thomas H. Ben ton was the only Senator who reached a term of thirty years, and William R. King, afterward Vice-President, was next to him in length of service, with twenty-six years. Two others reached twenty-two years The Sen ate to-day contains more members who have held their seats for more than twenty years than are to be found on the roll prior to 1850. What of the giants ? Webster was a Senator only nine years, Clay four teen, and Calhoun fifteen. The people of most of the states have learned that a Senator's influ ence increases with the length of his experience, and consequently that frequent changes are injurious to the state that makes them.

FLUE ROASTS Flue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Tasto Found in Schnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger There are three ways used by far mers for curing and preparing their tobacco for the market; namely, sun cured, air cured and flue cured. The old and cheap way is called air cured ; the later discovery and improved way is called flue cured. In flue-curing the tobacco is taken from the field and suspended over intensely hot flues in nouses especially built to re tain the heat, and there kept in the proper temperature until this curing process developes in the tobacco the stimulating taste and fragrant aroma found in Schnapps tobacco, just as green coffee is made fragrant and stimulating by the roasting process. Only choice selections of this ripe, juicy flue cured leaf, grown in the famous Piedmont country, where the best tobacco grows, are used in Schnapps and other Reynolds' brands of high grade, flue cured tobaccos.

He is to be honored for his courage in re turning the wines sent him at the aimouricCTf!WTt at ?his nomination. Who would do it today The polit ician of the present time is afraid to do this or that for fear of offending his influential friends. O that more men might iearii lio miserable life is made by drunkenness and moder ate tippling, and would determine not to drink!

M Hundreds of imitation brands arc on sale that look like Schnapps; the outside of the imitation plugs of to bacco is flue cured, but the inside is filled with cheap, flimsy, heavily sweetened air cured tobacco; one chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger longer than two chews of such tobacco. Expert tests prove that this flue cured tobacco, grown in the famous Piedmont region, requires and takes less sweetening than any other kind, and has a wholesome, stimulating, satisfying effect on chewers. . If the kind of tobacco you are chewing don't satisfy, more than the mere habit of expectorating, stop fooling yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco. Schnapps is like the tobacco chew ers formerly bought costing from 75c. to $1.00 per pound; Schnapps is sold at 50c. per pound in 5c. cuts, strictly 10 and 15 cent plugs.
