Raleigh, March 14, 1921 — The
city of Raleigh does not show the
signs of life that she did a week ago.
The legislators and the lobbyists (of
which there was a large number) are
gone. A few of the members linger
ed to say goodbye to their friends,
but ninety - five per cent of them
boarded the first train for home im
mediately after the curtain fell on
the session of the general Assembly
of 1921 §t two o’clock Wednesday
morning of last week.
On the whole, the recent session of
the Legislature wrought well. It es
tablished a record in the matter of
appropriations for the State’s educat
ional and penal institutions; for pen
sions and for the construction and
maintanance of an elaborate system
of public highways. The members
took Governor Morrison at his word
and has made possible of accomplish
ment many of the progressive ideas
advanced in his inaugural address.
Fifty millions of dollars for roads
would have been unthinkable eight,
or even, four years ago. Not so in
the year of Our Lord 1921. The
people of the State had made up
their minds to taboo the mud tax and
their representatives in the General
Assembly knew what they were do
ing in the action taken when the
road bill came up for consideration.
A bare handful in each branch voted
to “let well enough alone.” The pro
gressives won easily and the people
will cheerfully sustain their action.
And the folks were not interested
in roads only. They had very de
cided views looking to the future of
the higher institutions of learning
and adopted a robust program to start
things going on a really big scale.
Twenty million dollars were asked
for to be expended over a period
covering six years. The Legislature
did not think this wise and adopted a
two- year program and appropriated
more than seven million dollars to
meet immediate needs. This decis
ion is generally approved.
The pubftc schools of the State also
fared well at the hands of the Gener
al Assembly of 1921, which provided
a fund of five million dollars for
school buildings in needy communit
ies. It also appropriated $1,400,000
as an equalizing fund and to defray
the expenses of the State Board of
Examiners; to pay salaries of county
superintendents and take care of var
ious agencies which contribute tr {ha
advancement of the public Echool
system.
Another problem v'- "': appears to
have been amicab’- iJjusted by the
solons recentlv r.;:scinbled here is that
of the valvon of property by lo
cal assersors under State direction.
No little complaint has been heard
relative to values put upon the real
property of the State last year when
prices of everything had reached their
highest level. Eastern Carolina far
mers are facing bankruptcy because
of the rapid decline in prices of cot
ton and tobacco and have been- insis
tent upon a revision of assessments.
Their appeals reached sympathetic
ears and the Revenue Act for county
boards of review, which are to meet
on April 5th for the purposes of re
vision is provided. Any citizen who
feels that his land has been assessed
too high will have an opportunity to
speak his mind upon the subject.
These boards of review are required
to report their findings to the State
Tax Commission not later than April
20, so it will be well for those who
may have complaints to offer to be on
hand promptly at the appointed time.
The Legislature also provided for
bringing the manless job and the job
less man together by the establish
ment of a free empjpyment bureau
in the Department of Labor and
Printing under the direct supervision
of the head of that department.
This bureau will serve all classes
ployees. Other legislation will be
ployee. Other legislation will be
discussed from time to time.
WOMEN OF THE SOUTH IN WAR
TlME§t .
Attention, Daughters of Con
federacy and all those interested in,
the history of our country. * ,
This book, whose title is gi||m a-
bove, has been recently published un
der the auspices of the United Daugh
ters of the Confederacy. It consists
of a collection of stories of personal
experience compiled and edited by
Matthew Page Andrews.
These stories, which would “read
well” in fiction, with the added merit
of actuality, must grip all true Sou
thern hearts.
And not Southern hearts only.
Truth is truth, and honest minds and
true hearts the world over must re
spond to these acts of devoted heroi
sm.
In this connection we quote, in
part, the comment of the Boston
Transcript: “Ideas maintained in
the Northern States concerning the
people of the South, in the days of
the Civil War were, in many cases,
undoubtedly superficial; years have
passed since the surrender at Appo-
matax, a new generation has been
born and grown to maturity, we have
had time to think.
“It is well to look back upon the
war days from the standpoint of the
South and, so looking, we may see
some features once hidden from our
gaze and may understand more fully
the position of those whom we once
regarded as devoid of all honesty and
faith.
Hence, it is well to read these re
miniscences, written by women of
the South, in whose minds the days
of the early sixties are yet vivid re
collections Most valuabW foot
notes to history are these records here
brought to light and offered in .so
kindly a spirit, a spirit from which the
last trace of bitterness seems to have
disappeared and been forgotten.”
Such testimony is proof enough
that “Women of the South In
Times” is not a raking up of ancient
grievances, but an honest narrative,
plainly told, for the enlightenment of
the present and future generations.
The United Daughters of the Con
federacy have published the book
with two objects in view; as a con
tribution to history and as a memor
ial to those who “made every heroic
sacrifice through four long years of
war and ten of reconstructionsome
of whom are still living.
Will not such a memorial be more
inspiring, more lasting, than a tablet
of marble or of bronze?
In the foreword, the editor states
briefly the “True Cause of the Sec
tional Conflict;” a dry fact occasion
ally overlooked by historians, fiction
al writers and others.
Subscriptions for “Women of the
South In War Times” will be taken
at the U. D. C. Library. The small
percentage allowed by the Publica
tion Committee goes into the fund of
the local chapter.

Spring is the time when good blood

your appetite is poor, your complex
ion pallid or muddy, and you tire
easily, you can be pretty sure your
blood is not up to the mark. So
many feel that way in the Spring.
Especially housewives who have so
much work to do. They get over
tired and run - down — their blood
becomes weak and thin.

ing that splendid Spring blood tonic,
Gude’s Pepto - Mangan. It will give
vital power to the red corpuscles in
your blood. They will go racing thru
your blood, carrying fresh supplies

will help improve your color and your
appetite. You’ll take more interest
in things and enjoy life more. You
