Though a short one the special scs- sion of the legislature which has i™*' adjourned made a great deal of impoi-, tant history. To settle satisfactorily' to pretty nearly all right thinking r pie the vexing and complicated railroad j rate problem in accordance wi f h «' Spirit of the compromise entered ir.t 1. ; the governor and rti roaJs was a n-.u; ter of great importance tr lina, industrially. "Rightingaw.ro:: " j or "showing magnanimity" o:-\vl . view one takes cf the :;ct, Lht- puiv to restore better and more cordial rela tions between the railroads a d t pie has, we believe, been successful, and it will be welcomed throughout t 1 State, and assist towards thorevivv* business. In the rate matter the Icgis lators did their duty like men, c 1 c: commended almost universally for it. Other important legislation was ac complished at the short session, which, , l also, will have great bearing on the history of the State, among which was the enactment of a State-wide prohi bition law to be submitted to the peo ple for ratification on May 26th. The same cool judgment and sense of fairi* ness prevailed in this as in the rate matter and for it the legislature is Warmly commended all over the State. In answer to the cry of the great tem perance sentiment they gave to the people the opportunity to rid them selves, at one stroke, of the legalized manufacture and sale of whiskey in North Carolina. This will promote the cause of temperance and give great im petus to that progress in the cause which has been so marked in recent yeais. The issue will carry by a large ■ majority, with the assistance 'Of the i friends of temperance. y The special session of the 1 -legislature has done well. VALUE OF B. AND L. ASSOCIATIONS. There is no better method that we can think of for saving money Ina- by investing in a few shares of building and loan stock. Almost any young man j who is working for a salary cai we enough from his wages to make the monthly payments on a few shares of this stock., and the money thus invested hardly be missed, as it is more than likely it would be otherwise spent, for things not absolutely necessary. Anotner feature oi building and loan associations is that of enabling those of small means to build and own homes, and it is this that makes such associa tions of so much value to a community. Rocky Mount is under obligations to the two building and loan associations of the city for the nearly two hundred homes they nave been instrumental in building and the great permanent wealth they are adding to the city in '■ that way. Many people, too, now en ! joy the inestimable pleasure'of living in homes of their very own, free frcm rent, by and through the building a«rl loan associations, who could not do so t but for their existence. § * 3 Jt A LAUDABLE MOVEMENT. The movement by the Ministers Union to provide a cozy reading room and club for the young men of Rocky Mount-is a most laudable one and should appeal at once to benefactors who are interested in the moral uplift of the youth >of the community. To no other cause is due young men's treading the paths of sin so much as the fact that vice furnishes more allurements which appeal to the social part of man than does virtue, a deplorable, but none thd less true order. Essentially social beings, young men f, . jjiil consort together and the opportuni f %todo so under influences that are instead of harmful is greatly to ,i -"-fee desired and to be encouraged. Such t place it is proposed to make this read "fcg room, with the surroundings all that I be desired for the physical comfort | 4ft well as mental.

Not a remedy that will straighten the distorted limbs of chronic cripples, nor turn bony growths back to flesh again. That is impossible. But I can now surely kill the pain 3 and pang 3 of this deplorable disease. In Germany—with a Chemist in the City of Darmstadt—l found the last ingredient with Which Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Remedy wasmade a perfected, dependable prescription. Without that last ingredient. I successfully treated many, many cases of Rheumatism; but now, at last, it uni formly cures all curable cases of this heretofore much dreaded disease. Xhose sand-like granular wastes, found in Rheumatic Blood seem to dissolve and pass away under the action of this remedy as freely as does sugar when added to pure water. And then, when dissolved, these poisonous wastes freely pass from the system, and the cause of Rheumatism Is gone forever. There is new no real need—no actual excuse to suffer longer with out help. We sell, and in confidence recommend Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Remedy GRIFFINS DRUG STORE. A team belonging to M. L.
