Jones who rvpreseuts Eorsythe county in (he state Senate, has let it be known that he is against the increase of salaries and offices, ih any department of the state without first knowing where the money to pay for such increase is to come from. Pte introduced on the first day of the sitting of the Legislature, ;i resolution looking to the keeping down of graft and expenses, but his measure failed to get through the legislature. Last Week a bill was being considered to ap point a clerk or assistant to the reporter of the Supreme court, appropriating the sum of $1(X) for the work and Senator Jones opiosed it. He took the ground that the state being in debt al ready, it was no time to increase offices and if the Supreme court Reporter could not do the work, he could resign the job. Tins is the correct view we think and if carried out in all the de partments of the state, we would see that dencit, that is causing so much disturbance disappear. Senator Jones refered to a case that occurred in the last Legis lature, where an employee of that body turned in his time book, at the close of the session, With only one entry oh it; show ing he had worked onTy one day for the state, yet he was allowed to draw full pay for the entire session. Such jobbery as that is responsible for much of the $750,000 deficit in the state treasury. Mi'. Justice, of Guilford is one of the most active members of the legislature now in session at Raleigh, in fact he is nearly all the time in the "lime1 light," so to speak. He has introduced a mbng other bills one to punish certain crimes and offenses in connection with elections. His bill may be a good one in many re-Bpects, but we now have am ple and sufficient laws on the statute books to purify and cleanse many of the corrupting election practises, if they were only enforced. We all know that the election laws were fla grantly and almost openly vio lated in the last election, by the us of liquor and other methods jto Influence voters and no efforts wyre made' tj punish the offend ers, "because members of both , parties were guilty. Now it is .Utterly"' useless . to enact more lavvs of the same kind. The ' thing to do Is give the state the "Australian- of secret ballot and thai eliminate, or at least mini vi B tue ojJbftuniiy for corrup tion' The1' 'new laws proposed by ,Mr?Jiwtice will not be worth tbe paper tuey are written on unless they are enforced better than those "we" have already. That everlasting question of taxe'bAsfbeentroubling: the feg jalaturea for age past and ; it Is ftill the most troublesome thing they hsTe to tackle. The leg islature of two years ago inau gurated a new plan at much cost, which was a failure and now they are bothered again. They-mnch better give more at tention to retrenchments and to curtailing of expenses. They will never be able to arrange a plan of taxation that will meet all the increasing demands made upon them, without direct con fiscation of property. The in creasing wealth of the state, Vhould yield enough revenue to take care of her increasing de mands and would do it, if all the officials would do their duty and all grafters and useless employ ees were dropped from the pay rolls of the state and pet schemes cut "out There are enough dead laws on the statute books of North Carolina now to puzzle the best lawyers in the state, laws we mean that are utterly ignored and never enforced, then why keep on piling them up? If the legislature, would pass a good dog law, and some good road legislation and provide in an economical way f,- Urn main. tenance of the state institutions and quit and go home the ieople would be the better off and the better pleased we believe. There is a proposition sugges ted to unload the Weaverville School on the state and make it a State Training school for teachers. We have enoughH schools of the higher sort for teachers in the state now, un less we had longer terms and better schools for the country pupils. If the Methodist church can not make the Weaverville School a success it would be a poor investment for the state. County Examinations. The time for Examinations for Diplomas from the Elementary Schools is near at hand Feb ruary 20th -and all the people should remember the date! The parents and friends of our 7th grade boys and girls in ' the County sh6uld give fih'e "matter special attention, urging the boys and girls to take the ex amination and, if possible, win a diploma. More than 200 boys and girls in the County should take the examination. Every 7th grade pupils ih the County should take the examination. All boys and girls wishing to join the Declaimer's and Reci ters contest will meet on the same day and at the same jalaces mentioned for e x a m i n a tions and diplomas. Every school boy and girl in the County should be preparing something for exhibit. Many prizes will be offered. Examinations Feb ruary 20th at Lenoir, Globe, Collettsville, Granite Falls and Oak Hill. Y. D. Moore, Co. Superintendent A bill has been framed and sent to the legislature authoriz ing the voters of Stokes to pass on the question of issuing bonds in the sum of SWOO.OOO for build ing a system of modern high ways in that county. The elec tion is to be held by all the townships on the same day which will probably be about February 25 or March 4. The carrying or defeat of the law in one township will not affect the others. Each township stands pn its own footing and the tax rate in every township, as near ly as possible, equalized, will be about 30 cents on property and 90 oente on the poll. It ' seenM quiie natural that the threads of cdnvereatiori ihould sometimes produce a long yarn. TV HlMM Sootyg flat. In polite society, it is not con sidered good taste to insist on a thing they chose to disregard and this will be our last appeal forV Humane Society "fbr the protection of bur suffering dumb an i mala." We try to ' think they have hot seen what we hae, for ,we would be sorry ,fco think in dear '.old North Carolina there could possibly exist a Christian (?) community, whose .hearts do not go out to any helpless, suf fering dumb beast. tThey are all literally "liV'e lambs lead to slaughter" and we certainly will have to plead, "Yea Master we are Guilty." Who 'can read "Black Beauty" or "Greyfnars Bobbie and not feel and know that they are' endowed with more than "animal" instincts. Look into theta patient eyes, deep pools of affection and an swer this question.1 ''Ybii '''re member the stress Domby lays on our "making a proper effort M Every failure was because they had not made proper effort his wife dieing when at last his son was born, because she did not make proper effort to live.

Duke of Dallas, Tex., but for merly of Georgia, known throughout the Southwest as the "Five Cent Store King," has saved up more than $100,000 from his business and here after will devote the earnings of his 21 stores to Christianity. Mr. Duke, who is visiting relatives here, stated today that lie and his wife recently decided they had enough money and covenan; ted with their consciences to contribute the balance of their earnings to Christian work. They made their covenant effec tive January 1, last. Since starting in business Mr. Duke says he always has given a tenth of his earnings to the Church and he attributes his success tq this practice. "Last year I made something over $24,000," said Mr. Duke, and I think by increasing the number of my stores I pan in crease the earnings to $30, (WO, which shall be used as I have agreed." Woman Suffrage. (Statesville Landmark.) The Pitt County member of the Legislature who has propos ed a woman suffrage amendment to the Constitution may be a little ahead of time, but some of the folks who are jeering him will -be very apt to hear something drop along this line before they are many years older. No matter whether we think it wise or 'unwise, woman suffrage is coming right along and The Landmark is loosing no sleep on account thereof. Thirty years ago an old-fashioned Democrat would have thrown a fit at the idea of compulsory education. Now we're all ask ing for it because it is necessary. The old order changeth, whether for better or worse in all cases the futue must determine.
