joined, but also the attorney's em
ployed by the Corporation Com
mission; hence, when the railroads
refused to obey the law, not being
able to get the services of these
attorneys I had to employ others,
thus entailing, more costs, and,
therefore, the railroads, by their
suits and acts having put this extra
cost on the State, I felt in the set
tlement, they should pay it. If,
however, your honorable body
does not agree with me, and think
the State and not thfe railroads
should pay this cost, it is for you
and not for me to decide."
Another matter is the need of
two small judicial districts consist-
ing or a county eacn so that in
i case a judge was sick or detained
for other reasons, one of these
judges could leave the smaller dis
trict and hold the court.
The message contains much
about State prohibition and the
Governor has been praised and
criticised for his remarks on that
subject. Below is given what it
contains on the subject:
A reason given for the adoption
of the agreement reached, is the
fact that other Southern grates,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabam,
Tennessee and probably Virginia
hare accepted a like rate, thus
giring a uniform rate for a large
portion of the South.
Taking up the matter of discrim
i nations, the Governor says:
One of the most serious com
plaints now existing against rail
roads is the discriminations made
by them agiinst the cities and
towns of iNorth Carolina in favor
of like cities and towns in other
States, notably Virginia, by reason
of which jobbers and wholesale
merchants in Virginia can undersell
the same class of merchants in
NVrth Carolina. The cause .of
this is the rate given by the Nor
folk and Western and Chesapeake
and Ohio railroads to . R.anoke.
Lynchburg and Richmond, being
the same rate given to Norfolk, Va.,
on account of its water-rate com
petition. To meet the rate of the
railroads above named, the South
em, the Coast Line and Sealoard
railroads had to give the same rate,
and so haul freight through North
Carolina to Virginia cities for a
leas amount than they haul to the
cities of North Carolina; and often
our shippers can better pay the
through freight to the Virginia
point, plus the local rate bacKto
ths NbrthCoroIina point, than pay
the through rate in the first instance
to the North Carolina point. This
can and should be corrected. The
Corporation Commission has now
instituted proeeedfng before the
Interstate Commerce Commission
against the Norfolk and Western
Railroad for discriminating in favor
of Lynchburg and Roanoke, Va.,
ob its line, over Durham and Win
ston, N. C, also on its line. There
can be no defence made for this
unjust difference, and we feel as
sured that the Interstate Commerce
CJoramission will correct the dis
criminations as to these points in
North Carolina. When the Nor
folk and Western is thus forced .to
adjust tbe j-ates for" these two cities
in North Carolina, competition
will compel Ue other railroad sys
tems to give the same rate to these
points, and then they will be com
pelled to give them to other North
Carolina cities, else there will be
discrimination between points in
North Carolina, which "is forbiden
by law.

ILLUSTRATIVE
am thoroughly satished that In-
act ever passed by any leg
islative body in North Carolina
would give the joy or be more gen
erally endorsed than would be the
act of this General Assembly in
giving prohibiti3ii to the entire
State.
"tinder the Watts, Ward and
other similar bills, by legislative en
actment prohibition was given to
all rural districts, until at least
four-tifths of the State's territory
thus had prohibited laws. These
acts have produced good, and not
evil, and have been endorsed by the
votes of tho people in three general
elections. Also, under the same
laws, villages., towns and cities
throughout the State have declared
for temperance, until ninety per
cent of the entire territory of the
State now has prohibition. Thus
we know the will of the people, for
they haye spoken bv their votes in
no uncertain sound, untui an agree
that it . is inevitable that liquor must
go. oo, why, then, entail needless
expense and. engender bitterness by
local fights, when by your act, car
rying out the will of the majority
orttie people, you can settle this
matter at this session?
"rass the law, let it go nito eNect
July 1. 1908, and before the gene
election in .November all agitation
will cease: for, as well said bv one
of North Carolina's wisest states

iquor is about as weak as Sampson
shorn of his locks." Refuse at this
session to dispose of it, it will enter

the robberies and oppressions of

and children. I ask yon at this ses

will be the wisest and best ever

will be ratified and endorsed by the
good people of the State. But,

a visit from him
To this seeker, Jesus talks
readily. Teaching him as a sinner,
one who is sincere and honest in
the search for truth, Jesus tells
him that the kingdom of God,
which he is to bring to men, is for
those changed in heart. This
change is the work of God. A
new birth, without which man
cannot even undet stand the true
kingdom of God on earth. This
new birth, this new creation, is of
the Spiritthe work of the Holy
Spirit. Jesus tells Nicodemus, in
the explanation,- that, every man
has two sides, that of the flesh,
and that of the Spirit. One, the
spiritual comes from the Spirit of
God. The other is the fleshly in
heritance Continuing, Jesus re
minds his visitor that wo are to
look for evidences of the Spiritual
life in its effects. John 3:5, is
that of Hovey.
One (the new birth) stands at
the beginning of the inward life,
and the other (baptism) at the be
ginning of our corresponding out
ward life. And therefore Jesus
could say with the utmost pro
priety: "You must confess me in
an openly prescribed way which
you are not willing to do and
you must also be the subject of a
great spiritual change, or you can
not enter my kingdom.' "
Ncodemus isjionestly confused.
Jesus illustrates with the incident
of the brazen serpent. Just so,
does God- raise His Son, Jesus
Faith is so accepting Christ
that we trust him for the pardon
of sins; we trust him so that we
are willing to be taught and led
by him.
Faith , is the act of choosing
God as our God, of devoting our
lives to Him, opening our. hearts
to his influence. To do this is. the
beginning of salvation; for this
life is salvation."
Luther callwf John 3:10 "Little
Gospel" or the "Little Bible." In
truth it is the whole gosjel, tho
whole Bible condensed in these
few words. With this one verse
the world may bo brought fd
Christ and life.

brains into the Sunday School."
