Raleigh, Jan. 6, 1903. ,As forecasted in my last week's letter, Samuel M. Gattis was elected Speaker of the House, Dr. W. A. Goode and all the oth er members of the House in our section supporting him. The other cand: dates did not receive a large vote, and Newland with drew before the contest. Dr. Goode is making a good impres sion on all with whom he comes in contact. The Doctor is a gen ial and affable gentleman, and will make a most creditable rep resentative. Senator Thos. T. Ballenger, of Polk county, one of the Sena tors from this district, i a man of high character and real worth. He is a big farmer, owns and conducts one of the largest farms in our section of theState. He is not a kid glove farmer, but one who has made his money himself and who personally manages every dotail of the work. Senator,Ballenger is also one of the wealthiest men and th largest tax-payers in his county, and will make a valuable member of the Senate. He was formerly a most successful mer chant. Odr section of the State has shared well in the distribution of the offices in the Legislature, and especially in the Senate. Rev. D. P. Goode, of Burke, and formerly of Cleveland, was elected assistant door-keeper, John W. Simpson, ot Ruther fordton, first assistant engross ing clerk: M. L. Shiyoman. of Hendersonville, Calender clerk; Loe Weathers, of Shelby, page, all in tha Senate. In the house Mr. T. G. Cobb, Editor of the M organ tonHerald is the assistant to the principal clerk.and Hiliary T. Hudson. Jr., page. This is a most liberal allotment of the of fices for this section of the State, although it gos to other conn ties beside Cleveland. However, Cleveland cannot complain in view of the fact that she already has the Congressman, Solicitor, State Auditor and one of the State Senators. Our sister conn tifcs have been graciously gen erous. Lieutenant Governor W. D. Turner is a model presiding offi cer. Our people in Cleveland remember him very pleasantly those who were fortunate enough to meet him when he was in Shelby, Fallston and Lattimore during the recent campaign. He f. ! '.H " When the butter won't come put a penny in the churn," is an old time dairy proverb. It often stems to work though no one has ever told why. When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul sion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott's Emulsion is simply a millc of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. Eor all weak and pale and thin children Scott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat ment. We v- M send you the reny, c, a samp.e .. mc mm.

Oar ceiling and flooring ia well manu factured, to that the carpenter, bare no trouble in putting it op. W. T. 0 ALTON LUMBER CO. Lattimor,N C Is one of the State's first citizens and a coining man. The Legislature is beginning right. It is starting on eco nomical lines and it is to h hoped that such a wise course may oe pursued until th nrl rf the session. The people of North Carolina have a right to expect ana demand the most rigid econ omy along all lines save where false economy would work great injur 10 some of the State's special charges. The demand made upon the treasury for the various interests are too great to admit of any expenditures which would even approach ex travagance. The things of consuming in terest in this Legislature will be the election of a Senator, the reg ulation and taxation of the whis key traffic, the child labor law and such other kindred legisla lation as may be proposed, and the framing of a jmt and equita ble revenue bill, that will raise sufficient revenue to ruu the State government and meet the Various appropriations which will have to be made for the public schools, the charities and the soldiers. This last meaiure will be of prime importance. There is every indication of great growth and progress in NorthCarolina. It now appears thaT there will be an unusual number of new enterprises char tered, towns and cities enlarged, and many other notable improve ments made. There is a better day dawning for North Carolina the best and greatest state, in all that goes to make a State great, in the American Union. Her future is radiant with hope. The Democratic party is al ways the friend of the old sol dier.. This year both the House and Senate elected ex-Confederate soldiers for door-keeper or assistant door-keeper. Rev. D. P. Goode, the one-legged veter an from Burke, was elected in the Senate. The old soldier is a friend of the Democratic party and has a friend in that great party. The. Democratic management of the penitentiary tor the past two years has surpassed any previous record made at that in stitution. Gov. Aycock's board of directors have made a splen did record. During the past two years no appropriation whatever has been made for the peniten tiary, and it has not alone been self-tustaining, but has actually cleared over $40,000, something heretofore considered beyond the realm of possibility. The fusion ists squandered over $200,000 on the penitentiary, and here the Democrats have cleared $40,000 in two short years. C. R. H. The yenerabla Senator Vest made a pathetic, powerful appeal for the American people in hia great speech last week, in which he advocated placing coal on the free list, so the grtat Coal Truit could no longer extort unjust and arbit ant prices for coal, and thus cause grsat suffering among the poor in the oities, and laying an UDjust tribute upon the consumers every where. But the trusts own the Republican party and nothing will be done for the people. It seems that Postmaster Mul len, of Charlotte, is to be decapit ated. It is charged that he is tuiltv ot a technical violation of the postoffioe rules in not keeping his accounts entirely accurate. He made up the deficiency at once. It is thought that Geo. B. mis, CoDgreasnoan Webb's opponent in the recent election, will be appoin ted postmaster at Charlotte to suo- ceed Mullen. Weatb ml m, aSricsst Tousf t i Mr. Edgar Callahan, son of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Callahan, died at his home near town on last Thursday night the 8th inst, and was buried at Mountain Creek on Saturday. The young man was about 18 years of age and had long been a sufferer from a complication of diseases. The bereaved family have our deepest sympathy in their sad affliction. Rutherford Tribune.

The Secret of Lund and Happy Life" You sometimes see a woman whose old age is as exquisite as was the perfect bloom of her youth, ays the Pittsburg Dispatch. You wonder how it is her life has bssn long and happy one. Here are some of tne reasons: She knew how to forget the dis- greeble things. Sha kept her nerves well in hand, and inflicted them on no one. She mastered the art of saying pleasant things. She did not expect too much from her friends. She made whatever work came to her congenial. She retained her illusions and did not bslieve the world wicked or unkind. She relieved the miserable and sympathized with the sorrowful. She never forgot that kind words and a smile cost nothing, but are priceless trsasures to the disoour- ged. She did unto others as she would be done by, and now that old age has come to ner, and there is a halo of white hair about her head, she is loved and considered This i the secret ot a long life, and a appy one.
