DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark th Progress of North Carolina Peo ple Gathered Around the State Coitol. Raleigh. The Hobgood equal suffrage bill, under favorable minority report from committee, had something of an air ing on the floor of the senate, giving Senator Hobgood opportunity to warn his fellow senators that equal suf frage is a coming issue and that it must win in this state ultimately. He paid his "house was divided against itself," but that this only went to show that in his advocacy of the bill he is tied to no apronstring. When the bill came up Senator Johnson of Duplin moved to indefinite ly postpone as the house had done the duplicate bill by Roberts of Bun combe in that end of the capitol. Hob good , strenuously resisted this and resented alleged efforts to cut off de bate. Johnson insisted this was not the case, and with reiterated charges by advocates of the bill, he withdrew his motion and made another to table the bill and give a direct expression on the measure. However, this was finally in turn withdrawn, and the bill set as a special order for Thurs day. Telephone Service is Ratified. The bill for telephone service of processes, to overcome a ruling of the supreme court last term that puch service was not valid, was pass ed, but there is a qualifying amend ment to the effect that every process bo served must be endorsed as "serv ed by telephone." Exempt Tyrrell from Fisheries Bill. The senate passed the bill from the house to exempt Tyrrell county from the Vann fisheries bill of 1907, with the understanding that if the state passes a state-wide fisheries bill, it would repeal this act as to Tyr rell's exemption. A great number of local bills were cleared from the sen ate calendar. There was a spirited debate on the bill to create a board of examiners for architects and Senator McRae and others argued strenuous ly for the bill in the face of the charges by Senator Muse and others that it would create a special Inter est. When the vote was reached there were only 11 voting for and 12 against bill, less than a quorum. Discuss Educational Standard. The House took up the bill to raise the standard of educational and spe cial training for applicants for license to practice prahmacy and specifying that a person shall not be licensed to practice until he is 21 years old in stead of IS, as at present. The bill was opposed by Williams of Cabarrus a sworking a hardship on the poor young man who would be obliged to spend two years at college. Senate Bills Pass Final Reading.

There came a favorable report from the committee on constitutional amendments for the Laughinghouse bill to submit to the people the ques tion of amendment to the Constitu tion changing the homestead exemp tion so as to allow $300 for a wife and $100 for each child involved in the estate, instead of the present system of $1,000 exemption out of real estate and $500 from personal property. There came a unanimously unfavor able report for the Stacy bill to pro hibit all work on Sunday. Making Progress en Revenue Bill. The section as to cotton compresses was left open, this being Section 49. In committee Senator Cooper has se cured a cut from $250 for state and $250 for county to $200 for state and $150 for county and Representative Stacy and others propose to put it back. There are only four in tho state, two being in New Hanover. Representative Hall of Iredell tried vainly to get pharmacists out of Sec tion 31 Imposing $5 tax no profes sional men, but his amendment was lost. He said there were 1,000 phar macists to be affected and many could not afford the tax, which Is an entirely new one. Sections 51 to 45 were adopted without change. Section 55 was amended to catch the soft drink deal er just without corporate limits where heretofore he dodged taxes. Section 56, packing house tax, was adoptde. Stction 57 as to newspaper contests was left open for hearing. Sections 59 to 65 affecting automobiles for hire, malt dealers, druggists handling liquors, news dealers on 'ains, dealers in patent receipts were 11 adopted; and also 67 to 71 in their order. Section 72 as to automobile maufacturers was passed over to an other day. The committee arose and reported progress. Joint Session of Assembly. The members of the senate filed in at noon for the joint session to elect 27 members of the board of trustees of the University of North Carolina. The session was presided over by Lieu tenant Governor Daughtridge and Capt. T. W. Mason. The list of nom inees selected by the joint committee Wednesday night and heretofore pub lished was read by Senator McLeod. The motion to adopt the nominations as the choice of the joint session for the terms of office to be filled was made by Representative Bowie and this was seconded by Senator Ward. The vote of the senate was cast 37 for the nominees by the clerk of the senate, Mr. Self, and the vote of the house, 97 votes,, by Mr. Cobb, clerk of the house. Architect's Bill Meets Opposition. There was a lively debate or the bill to create the state board of ex aminers for architects. Senator Muse made his promised argument that this would create a trust. Health work warranted such practice for physi cians and others but there was no rea son for this making of a "close cor- pororation" of the architects. Senator McRae took issue, insisting that the bill would not operate to stop any man from drawing plans for buildings but it did make it a mis demeanor for any man to represent himself as an architect when he had not passed the board and received his license. Discuss Prohibition Bill. The joint committee from the Senate and House having in hand the bill of the State Anti-Saloon League to stop the shipment and delivery of liquors for beverage purposes heard advocates of the bill for an hour under the direction of Supt. R. L. Davis of the Anti-Saloon League, who offered a substitute for the original bill that so changed the measure proposed as to make it possible to ship wines out of this State and prevent only those ship ments and receipts of liquors involved in interstate shipments. After the hearing the joint com mittee went into executive session and decided to have the bill and sub stitute with amendments printed and set the bills for further executive ses sion consideration next week. iles Bill Finally Passes Senate. The Senate finally disposed of the Giles bill for the uniform examina tion and certification of public school teachers, passing the measure without material amendment 29 to 13. Sen ator McRae of Mecklenburg contend ed courageously and adroitly for the exemption of the Charlotte schools from the operation of the bill, but his amendment to exempt cities of 30,000 was defeated 37 to 8 along with num erous other amendments designed to exempt smaller towns, down .even to those with 2,000. It was this move for wholesome exemption of towna that cost Senator McRae his fight. Aid of Forests of State. Two bills affecting the forests of the state received favorable reports, one of these allowing the state to purchase forest areas and the other to protect the forests of the state from the ravages of fire. Many House Bills Pass Final Reading Create certain road districts in Swain county; authorize road and bridge bonds in Madison county; per mit special tax in Transylvania boun ty; establish Mount Olive road dis trict; authorize bonds by Swain Quar ter; incorporate Durham and repeal all amendments to charter; for the relief of the sheriff and tax collector in Lincoln county; abolish the treas urer's office in Davidson county: elect auditor for Forsyth county; allow full fees in B'orsyth where defendants are sent to the roads.

Music was furnish ed throughout all the exercises by the Third Regiment Orchestra of Ral eigh. The high standard of all the speeches, the enthusiastic audiences, and the brilliancy of the reception, marks it as one if not the greatest an niversary ever celebrated by the two societies. Many out-of-town visitors came in early in order to witness the basket ball game; more arrived later and it was an audience that taxed Wingate Memorial Hall to its capacity when Mr. H. D. Pegg, president of the de bate pf the Euzelian Society, called on Mr. V. E. Duncan, secretary of the debate of the Philomathesian Society, to announce the query for debate. The query announced read: Resolved, That the United States should adopt the policy of subsidizing its merchant marine engaged in foreign trade. John P. Mull, Eu, of Cleveland county and Kenneth A.

A "Flying" Malady. The doctors are puzzled concerning a strange malady that has broken out at more than one aeroplane works and has in one case resulted fatally. The malady in some respects resembles yellow jaundice, and it is, rightly or wrongly, attributed to contact with an aeroplane "dope," or to inhaling its odor. Further particulars need not at the moment be indicated, but it has been suggested that the source of the trouble may be amyl acetate, which is used as a "dope" solvent. Some mys tery attaches to the affair, the precise nature of the malady not having yet been determined, in spite of close ex amination and analysis; and, of course, until success is attained in this direc tion no satisfactory precautions or remedy can be devised. Consternation at the Front. The archbishop of York, in his early days, did a great deal of work among the uneducated classes, and on one occasion a very illiterate woman was godmother to a child at a chris tening. In the course of the ceremony she was asked in the usual way if she renounced the devil and all his works, etc. "Oh, yes, sir," she replied briskly. I recommend them all." True. "If I had your hopeful disposition I would be worth a million dollars." "No, you wouldn't." KNOW NOW And Will Never Forget the Experience. The coffee drinker who has suffered and then been completely relieved by changing from coffee to Postum knows something valuable. There's no doubt about it. "I learned the truth about coffee in a peculiar way," says a California wom an. My husband who has, for years, been of a bilious temperament decided to leave off coffee and give Postum a trial, and as I did not want the trouble of making two beverages for meals I concluded to try Postum, too. The re sults have been that while my husband has been greatly benefited, I have my self received even greater benefit. "When I began to drink Postum I was thin in flesh and very nervous. Now I actually weigh 16 pounds more than I did at that time and I am stronger physically and in mj' nerve3, while husband is free from all his alls. "We have learned our little lesson about coffee and we know something about Postum, too, for we have used Postum now steadily for the last three years and we shall continue to do so. "We have no more use for coffee the drug drink. We prefer Postum and health." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Well- ville," In pkgs. Postum comes in two forms: Regular Postum must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum is a soluble powder. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly In a cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage In stantly. 30c and 50c tins. The cost per cup of both kinds Is about the same. Three Things That Offend By REV. J. H. RALSTON Secretary of Conwpoodeoc Depart meet Moody Bibl Intitule, Chicago TEXT And the word was made flesh. John 1:14. Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. Matt. 27:42. We will not have this man to reign over us. Luke 19:14. The personality of Jesus Christ stands out as the world's greatest product, and that by the practically unanimous con sent of all who have knowledge of him. The man ifestations that belong to the hu man nature of Jesus Christ are admired and praised. He was a great teacher and exemplifier of the highest morals, of the most generous disposition even to the sacrifice of himself for hia friends. But when claims are made be yond such manifestations, there are hesitation, denial, and,, ultimately, either in thought or word, malice. He is despised and rejected of men. The Deity of Jesus Christ. The incarnation is denied God did not become flesh, the person who stands before men is not God, only a. man, very superior indeed, but nothing more than a man. When the proposition is made that he was not of human fatherhood, many who claim to be his friends, and even professed believers In his deity, at once object on the ground that this militates against his perfect humanity. In these things it must be remem bered that if the claims that are made for the beautiful character of Jesus be allowed, we are forced to accept something beyond his mere humanity, for he said: "I and my father are one," and "He that hath seen me, hath seen the father." These statements are made in such connection that it is impossible to make them mean less than that Jesus Christ claimed to be God. If any record, of Jesus Christ which enables men ta speak of his beautiful character is to be believed, the record must be believed that he was born of the virgin, and that the holy thing that was born was of the Holy Ghost otherwise the integrity of the biblical record as to the per sonality of Jesus Christ is properly challenged. The Death of Jesus Christ. Men said as Jesus hung on the cross, "Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him." That is simply another evidence of the offense of the cross. Many who Btudy Jesus in the light of his death say that he entirely misunderstood his mission, that he became the victim of his folly and suffered a premature and unnecessary death, and in so do ing deprived mankind of three score or more years of a perfect life which might have regenerated the race. The offense of the cross has not eased to this day, and when Jesus, in his willing and purposed death, suffered on Calvary, he invited the malice and hatred of all subsequent ages. The rash vow of the Jews: "His blood be upon us and our children," has kept that race in hatred of that cross, and all likewise who do not love that cross are in league with the Jews in their opposition to the Messiah. What has been the testimony of history as to the relative effect of the life or death of Jesus Christ? Secular his tory, even, proves to us that where men have accepted the salvation that was secured through the cross, they have risen to the highest morality, aad to the highest social culture of the best sort. It was not the life of Christ that struck at the root diffi culty, but the death. "Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone, but if it die, it bring eth forth much fruit." Jesus said to Pilate: "I am a king." He came to establish a kingdom, of which himself should be the head, and the world's history would have been entirely different from what it has been if he had been accepted by the Jews at Jerusalem as their king when he made his triumphal entry. But there is something In the king ship of Jesus that seems at once to arouse antagonism, not simply among his enemies, but his professed friends. During his earthly life he was sen sitive to his kingship, and at one time said that he could command twelve le gions of angels and they would come to him. The cry of the citizens in the par able cf the nobleman: "We will not have this man to reign over us," can be applied to the man of this day. Our view of Jesus as king cannot be com plete until, he rules as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. That manifesta tion must be at his second coming, when he shall execute judgment on his enemies. This kingly coming is misrepresented, maligned and hated, but it will be realized as certainly as the incarnation and the death on the cross. The deity, the sacrifice, the atonement, and the kingship of Jesus Christ always have and always were received by the world's hate. Chas. E.
