The Legislature has done a
lot of work during the present
session but it has not been of a
general or state wide interest
Most of the 1400 or more bills
introduced have been in regard
to, incorixrating towns, permit
ting the voting of bonds for
school, streets,etc and are main
ly local in their nature. They
are of course important to the
communities to which they ap
ply, but the state wide, bills
those for six months school
terms, the appropriation of
funds to maintain the state in
utitutions and the bill to raise
revenue, have not yet been fin
ished by the committee. They
will probably be introuueed in
the next few days and the ieo
pie of the -tate wait with inter
est the discussion of these meas
ures. With the tate increasing
in wealth rapidly and the con
sequent increase in the revenues
derived from taxation, it is
hoed some plan maybe orkeilMrs Chiis t'orpening was unan-
out by which the actual operat
ing e.enses ran le met with
out the necessity of lorrowiug
money by the issuing of londs.
A bill howeer has been intro
duced to sell $."X),000 of state
bonds to help take care of the
present condition of the state
treasury
The Catawba County News
says that with proper manage
meat, the state's revenues would
be ample for six months schools
for all the children of the state,
wit lout a further increase of
taxes. We do not know how
this is, but are inclined to agree
with our Catawba neighbor.
We are convinced that much
money now going to other and
le important matters should
be turned to the school funds.
The department of Labor &
Printing for instance, we believe
could be done away with entire
ly and the w rk handled by oth
er departments with a great sav
ing. The reports of that de
partment are of little real value
and interest to the average tax
payer and it could at lwast be
done away with, until the chil
dren of the state get a fair .show
for an education.
The matter of amending the
charter of tne Lenoir Graded
Sctiools being of purely local in-
' terest, affecting only the people
. in the school boundry and the
patrons, we do not consider the
' newspapers a proper place for
its discussion. We think ho
efer it is unfortunate that the
.promoters of the proposed
amendment did not take the peo
ples interested into their confi
dence and explain , it in a mass
meeting before asking it to be
enacted into law. If the meas
ure be meritorious, such a
course would probably have
eliminated any opposition to its
Lecooiiug a law.,.

We think it would be the part
of wisdom for the. Legislature to
sell the state V interest in the
Atlantic & North Carolina Rail
road, to the Norfalk:Southern.
It occurs to us that it is more
business like to dispose of a
piece of property, that pays less
than four per pent, and pajjhe
floating debt of $750,000, than it
would be to borrow money at
four per cent by issuing bonds
to meet the deficit
A law permitting the commis
sioners of Caldwell to levy a
special tax on narrow tired ve
hicles should be passed by the
present legislature. If we
should issue bonds and make
good roads, it would be a seri
ous blunder to let them be cut
to ruts and destroyed by narrow
tires. A tax heavy enough to
put the narrow tires out of bus
iness is what we should have in
addition to the bond issue for
good roads.
Daughter of The Confederacy.
The February meeting of the
Z. R Vance Chapter U. 1). C.
was held at the home of Mrs. A.
V. Dula and was unusually well
attended. The Daughters ' Judge Leroy Lisk. Jailer Howell
showed their loyalty to the chap- and others say that it is only an

which they paid their annual wild. Others view the carcass

imously elected to till this va
cancy. Wishing to keep informed on
all subjects of interest to our
great organization the Chapter
renewed its subscription to "The
Confederate Veteran" and sub
scribed to "The Carolina and
Southern Cross" a new maga
zine published at Kinston, N. C.
devoted principally to Confed
erate history of N. C, and
should be of special interest to
all North Carolinians.
An interesting account of a
visit to the Soldiers Home in
Raleigh by the editor of the
Charlotte Observer, was read by
Mrs. J. W. Whisnant.
Believing it always best to
honor our Veterans while they
are still with us, the Daughters
arranged to remember in a sub
stantial way several feeble
Veterans in our vicinity.
A most important suggestion
was made and adopted, making
it a rule that each Daughter
must notify the hostess before
each meeting if she can be pres
ent. There are now seventy four
members in this Chapter and it
is of imKrtance to a hostess to
to know how many she is to en
tertain. After the meeting ad
journed, a tempting salad course
followed by coffee and candies,
was beautifully served by Mrs.
Dula, assisted by Misses Bertha
and Anson Tuttle.
The next meeting will be held
the third Tuesday in March at
the home of Mrs. O. I Lutz.

AN APPtAL TO MOTHERS
v The United States government
directs its energies to destroying
tuberculosis germs- it causes
its soldiers to be vaccinated
against typhoid fever, and this
precaution is commended. Why
not Mothers use all possible
precaution against the little one
having Croup? Gowans pre
paration scatters all inflanlation
when applied externally. Then
why not buy today, and have
for emergency a bottle in the
house ready to give relief to the
little sufferer if Croup develops
in the nighty The wise mother
will do this. Gowans is
guaranteed, and often when
Croup develops or threatens a
doctor cannot be gotten. Gor
ans gives the mind ease. You
feel you have done your duty.

Troy. Feb. 16. Much excite
ment was created in and around
Troy the past week by some an
imal killing and eating dogs.
One man saw the dog killer en
ter his yard, and before he could
interfere it whipped two or three
large dogs and then proceeded
to bite the heads off three pup
pies and eat them. In other
parts of the county large dogs
were killed and the heads eaten.
Consternation was beginning to
reign in the Montgomery coun
ty dog world, when a valiant
dog lover went forth to slay.
Success crowned his efforts, and
since yesterday the body of the
dog killer and dog eater has
been on display on a principal
corner in Troy. Nearly every
citizen has seen the critter that
was bringing terror. Authori

Pellagra Hospital.
Spartanburg, S. C, Feb.lt".
Members of the Thompson Me
Fadden Pellagra Commission,
who were sent to Spartanburg
last year by the New York Post
graduate Hospital to study pel
lagra, have sent word to local
physicians that they will return
this Summer and continue their
investigations. They have ask
ed that an animal house be pro
vided for them in which they
may keep monkeys, guinea pigs
and other animals on which they
propose to experiment.
The commission last year
found about 400 cases of pella
gra in Spartanburg County and
acquired an immense amount of
information concerning the lives,
environments and diets of the
patients. With the accumula
tion of this information out of
the way, they now propose to
continue their researches along
different hues.
Plans are on foot to erect a
pellagra hospital in the city for
the use of the commission. A
bill Knding in the Legislature
authorizes the county commis
sioners to appropriate from $',
(MX) to $10,(XK) for the hospital.
It isexix'cted that this will be
supplemented by a contribution
of one cent a spindle from the
cotton mills. This will yield
$7,8M.4H.
