Cm We wish to call the attention ' of the public to a
to a. scries of "short talks" byL. T. Cooper that are
to be published in this paper. : '
C The Cooper medicines have made a remarkable re-
4 I cord in the leading cities of the United States during the
U I past two years and young Mr. Cooper has been the sub-
I ject of much newspaper comment. - ;
km I .
l I . Mr. Cooper has met and talked with thousands of
I sick people in his visits to almost every large city in the
country.
C He is noted as a man of very few words and tells
briefly in these articles "What his preparations are doing
for sick people and why they "have been successful
wherever introduced.
G. Mr. Cooper's theory is that one half of all human ills
is caused, by stomach trouble, and the wonderful suc
cess of his preparations in the treatment of stomach
disorders, kidney and liver complaints, rheumatism, etc.,
seems to have proven this claim.
C Some time ago we secured the agency for these cele
brated medicines. We have been gratified by the
extreme satisfaction of those who have purchased them
from us and advise every one to read these "short talks"
as they are full of terse, common sense.

Memphis, Tenn., March 11.
The National Ginners' Associa
ton issued a bulletin at 1
o'clock today, showing the num
ber of bales of cotton ginned up
to March 2, to be 12,716.000.
The report by States is as

000; total 12,715,000. The re-
?ort which is signed by' J. A.
'aylor, president of the associa
tion, says: Owing to the very
fine weather in the west, cotton
has been picked very much
closer than usual and this has
increased the crop at least 200,
000 bales, if not more.
Our reports indicate there will
be much change in the , atreage
in Texas and the two territories,
where there will be an increase
of from 5 to 10 per cent, Scar

from a large number of uncount

Those That Were Left Undone.
H- B. C. Bmnt la ChtrlotU Obwrver. 12th,
The work of the Legislature is
over and the representatives of
the people have gone to their
tespective counties. Oir the
whole the law-makers' uf , North
Carolina have done well. The
largest number of bills, of any
Legislature in the history of the
State has been passed. ' Ninety
pe r cent, of these bills were
purely local and- of ' no- general
public interest. : A number ,of
public laws, were made. ; . f
IMPORTANT PUBLIC tAWS ,
The revenue and machinery
acts now in force were re-enact
ed without much chanee.
The State banks are exempted
from the franchise tax. .
Liberal appropriations to all
State institution were made, and
it is the first time since the war
that such institutions have been
adequately provided for.
AH insane person will be cared
for. -
A number of new. institutions;
such as the Reformatory, i the
Eastern Training School, the
Snray school, of Technoloey and
the Samtonutn for Consumptives
were established.
The osteopaths were recogniz
ed and given a charter and a
board of examiners so that frauds
may be excluded
Tne new county - ot Lee was
made from Mooie and Chatham,
A shell, fish commission was
established. . ' "
The salaries of State officers
were equalized, and all fees will
be turned into the State Treas
ury. This will make, very little
difference in the pay now receiv
ed by the various officers, but
the method is more dignified
The salaries of the: Superior
Court judges were increased $250
This should have been-made.
$1,000 or $1,500. It is a notori
ous fact that any sort of a bob-
tailed lawyer with any . sort; of
ability and industry can make
more than the judges who" pre
side ovr the Superior Courts.
The Attorney General is allow
ed an assistant until the present
term is out.
McDowell county - was made
dry and Anson left wet.
The people of Scotland Neck
will vote, on prohibition,. The
other - counties and , towns are
under the Watts and Ward laws.
Passenger rates on all lines,
except those protected in the
now famous 60-mile limit, will
be reduced t o lA cents per
mile. This law goes into .effect
after the first day of July. The
parents of .small children will be
especially interested in this bill
as it docs not exclude oaoies
under S years of ' age. " The rail
roads o f North Carolina have
never chareed fares for children
nnder 5, but the- new bill con
tains this provision; "For trans
porting children lc years of age
andlunder;" tne- railroads may
not make any charge for the in
fants and tiny tots, but they
have the legal right to do it.
This is thought to be an over
sight. .
Discrimination in freight rates
will be prevented by the Man
ning bill and penalties have been
reduced more than half what
thev are now.
-The pbwers of the corporation
commission have been greatly in
creased. . -
Compulsory pilotage has been
re-established at the mouth of
the Cape Fear.
V WHAT" WAS NOT DONE.
Here is what the Legislature
did not do: The Holt and the
Aycock anti-trust bills, which
would have put t h e farmers'
association out of . business in
North Carolina : and bit . many
things no one desired to hit, and
would have crippled business,
"gathering the bearded trust at
a breath, and the flowers that
grow -between,? were killed.
These bills provided for affidavits
from corporations and business
men, saying that they were not
violating the law. f
Senator Aycock's bill to tax
the cash surrender value of in
surance policies was killed.
The Justice i.bill giving the
Attorney General immense pow
ers, among others to summon
any 'person whom he thought
might be violating certain laws.
passed the House, but was stop
ped in the Senate, w-7 r
No serious insurance legis
lation passed. ?
The State was authorized to
pay two old claims, the Bledsoe
and the Tucker claims against
the insane asylums. The Swain
claim against the. University,
when Vance, Ellis and Worth
were Governors, was left over.
