Kntered at the postofnee at Scotland Neck, N. C. , as Second-Class Matter. Thursday, February 20, 1013. And still Mr. Wilson's cabinet is still up for discussion. Only a few more days of the North Carolina legislature. What has it done? The Republicans will march out and the Democrats will march in next Tuesday. The proposition for a President to serve six years and not be-allowed to succeed himself is growing in fa vor and it is not going to be long be fore it will be the law. In speaking of his coming adminis tration, President-elect Woodrow Wilson, is quoted as saying that "honest business and honest men have nothing to fear." We believe this is true. The State Journal, published at TCalpicrh. N. C. bv Messrs. R. F. Beasley and Alex. J. Field, made its first appearance on time Friday, February 7th, and it is a very credi table journal, indeed. The Journal has a field all its own and we believe will make good. The House and Senate have passed a bill giving North Carolina a six months school term, there being 'only one opposing vote in the Sen ate. In order to meet this extra term th? bill provides that the coun ty commissioners may put an extra levy of five cents on the hundred dollars worth of property. The State primary bill was killed on its second reading in the House of Representatives Thursday of last week. The objection raised to the bill by members of the House from the western part of the State was that in close counties the Republi cans would win, for the reason that as it is nevv a great many voters in that section vote the State and coun ty Democratic tickets and the Re puolican national ticket. It appears now tl.at the legisla ture is going to pa? s a very strorg search and seizure, law. If this is done, supported by the Webb bill passed by Congress, we may reason ably expect a better inforcement of our State prohibition law. With these laws on the statute books there is certainly no excuse for any community . to b overrun with blind tigers.

The beautiful ritual of the church and the hymns of praise and hope pointed forward with faith and triumph to the resurrection morning.
