Splendid Speeches Made In Pre
senting Necessity For Such An
Institution-
Raleigh Feb. 17, 1905.
The Senate Thursday by a vote almost
unanimous, passed the Scales bill, for the
establishment of a reformatory in this
State for criminal youths.. Excellent
speeches, throughtful, conservative and
effective, were delivered by men best
qualified to speak of the merits of the bill
and the needs of the State, and when the
vole was taken the opposition had become
inconsiderable. . -
Several strong but ineffective efforts
were made by some of the" Senators to re
duce the amount of appropriation the bill
carries with it from $50,000 to $25,000 but
these a failed. It was also attempted to
side-track the, bill, "by re-referring it to the
committee which had condsidered it for
more than three weeks, and also to the
Committees on Appropriations and
Judiciary, but these moves, too, were
quickly defeated. i -
A few amendments, affecting one or two
minor parts vf the bill, were accepted by
Mr. Scales.
The title pf the bill, as it was ameuded,
is: "An act creating a Board of Contiol of
the North. Carolina Training School,
providing for the erection and manage
ment of said schools, specifying method
of procedure against juvenile delinquents
andr. providing for. vthejmanagemen.W
detention, education and training of such
delinquents." " " " '. ,
The bill provides that six persons shall
be appointed by the Governor to constitute
the Board of Control, to serve without pay.
This board will acquire by purchase or
deed of gifts, sal table sites for the schools.
One plant will be for white children, and
the other for negroes. The Board of
Control will have entire, charge of : the
school, and may appoint officers as it
deems necessary. The board will receive
into its authority children only between the
ages of ten and seventeen years, and the
board will be their legal guardian. The
delinquent juvenile is denned as being a
child under the age of - seventeen who has
been convicted of or pleads guilty of any
violation of any laws of the State, or of
any ordinance of any city or town, except
capital offenses. The Superior court is to
try delinquent children and the first pa-t of
each term will be set aside f r the trial of
such and their names ar to be entered up-
on separate aoc&eis. , -rrouavion omcera
will be appointed for each court, without
compensation, to make such investigations
as may be required by the court, and to
take charge of any child before and after
trial, as may be directed by the court. No
mayor, justice of the peace, recorder or
other inferior court will have the power to
commit' a child to the custody of th Board
of Control, but these courts may impose a
penalty or" fine or imprisonment as now
At the conclusion of the reading of
the Governor's- Message before
the Senate of North Carolina
on Saturday with reference to

Education ; And Temperance Go

Raleigh N. C. Feb. 18, 1905.
; Senator . Thos. W. Mason, of North
ampton is a grand old man as the follow -
jtng repotr of his speech upon the Ward
Jemperance bill yesterday will attest: .
v- "Mason, of Northampton, in his speech,
said a great deal had been said regarding
party, but that this - question was a great
moral one and above the party but that he
would be willing to test it by the standards
of the Democratic - party in the service of
which he had grown old.' The first two
provisions of the Democratic platform are
education and temperance. When he an
npunced this during the last campagin the
crowds had applauded him and had cried
that they would . follow the party to the
death. He declared . that education and
good morals were,;the ground-workers of
our civilization and that the party which
stands for them will be" immortal. He de
clared that Fleming and Williams were
both mistaken, and that if we do not go
forward we will go backward. The Demo
cratic platform demands adequate police
protection. The substitute of Fleming
does not give it, but the Ward bill does.
Hom personal allusions have been made
which he said he resented. This bill is not
striking individuals but we bow our
heads to the will of the people, and this
law will give those who have invested
capital in whiskey the chance to withdraw
their aid to this traffice, a bar to civiliza
tion.' Stubbs in his attack on the Ward
bill declared that was not of sentiment but
that it should be a time for calm, deliberate
and dispassionate discussion. The senti
ment of tne great masses of North Caro
lina should be represented. Two years ago
when certain legislation was enacted, the
minority fought vehemently, yet the ma
jority willed it and the minority bowed
their heads . In submission, but it was
implied and there was a tacit understand
ing that no further, temperance legislation
snd be enacted tin til the Watts law had
lime to work its mission. Those towns ac
cepted in good faith the act of the Legist An Ay I erase of $106 a Head Paid

said the majority should rule, that
authority had been given the call elections;
that they were called and the majonty
spoke and yet people came here and en
croached on this- decision. - He asked if
the honest construction of the Democratic
platform was not that the amendment;
should be in the opposite direction, because

To the Editor: There ; : are seme
things needed to be done by the Legis-'
lature and a great many being proposed
that were better left undone, and- tA
so much easier to pass the trifling' little
bills than the important ones. There 1
is too much special legislation. A State
through its representatives, can afford
to pass any law that makes for : the
peace and welfare of a majority of its
people. - Exceptions should only be
made by special legislation when, cir
cumstances are peculiar and the excep
tion will be better for the local popula
tion than the general law. - -
The lawsU are not the laws' Of- a
party, but of the State. No political
party should try to survive by shrink
ing from the right. If it is not aggres
sive it ought not to exist. If it is afraid
to do right it ought to go out of busi
ness, l ' - - '

FANCY PRICES FOR PIGS.
for Those Disposed of at the
Biltrnore Sale.
Asheville Feb. 15. The attendance bu
the fifth annual sale of Biltrnore Berkshire
pigs on the Vanderbilt estate yesterday af
ternoon, was not so large as has character
ized previous sales, owing to the disagree,
able weather conditions. The sale, how
ever, was a moist successful one, and many
it was known that the people were restless, high bred and valuable pigs were sold. A
Speaking of the eighth district election he
asked whether the Democratic party stoop
ed to retaliatory legislation. After the
constitutional amendment had been ratified
it was supposed passion and prejudice
would be abrogated, yet Senators are say
ing that they must legislate against white
men who saw fit to vote the Republican
ticket. He declared that if this kind of
legislation continued the day would soon
come when a Legislature would be elected
which would be pro-liquor in the sense that
it would be composed of ' men who were
opposed to a party which encroaches on
the rights of the people. He added that it
was hard to be a Democrat in North Caro
lina and said: We yield to the' majority
number of expectant bidders from distant
cities and States were ' in attendaace and
the prevailing prices were entirely satis

party of friends were interested witnesses
of the auction sale and manifested keen
pleasure in the appearance of the thorough
bred animals raised on the estate and offer
ed for sale. Col. R. L. Bailey, of Gibson
City EL, who has had charge of the sale
for the last four years, was again the auc
tioneer. The first sow offered was "Tact,"
a very handsome animal. The bidding
commenced at $200, and was finally knock
ed down to W-H. Coffman, of Bluefleld
W. Va., for $400, Mr. Coffman ' also

repeal all the divorce laws, allowing '

It doesn't make men better, greater

v We see a statement to the effect that a
London paper has traced the career of five
boys who were lazy about getting out of
bed in the morning. '.'One of the bunch was
the manager of a large business' at the age'
of thirty, another at twenty-seven " was a
successful physician, the third at twenty-
bree was at the head of his class in col
lege, the fourth had passed every examina
tion in a medical school at twenty, and the
fifth was head boy in school at fifteen years
of age. ' There is a good deal of humbug
gery, about this matter of early- rising, un
less one'a business calls one out early." In
that case, to get out of bed betimes is a de
mand of duty which is not to be disregard
ed, whether it is to get to the store or' of
fice, to slop, the hogs or feed the horses.
But many "a boy has gained more by set
ting up a little late, at night,,' reading or
studying, than another has by', getting - up
before daybreak and looking m the fire un
til breakfast. As to the heahhfulness of
the habit, the late Senator Evarts, of New
