LeRislat0rs and Free Passes.
News and Observer.I

News and Observer.l
Bad as it is FOR judges to accept free
passes. it is worse in some respects
for legislators to thus violate the
law. Those who are elected to make
laws are paid their expenses to and
from the capital, and there is not
the excuse that public officers who
do not make the laws might offer for
the violation of the law. Some of
these reasons are:
l. Because the legislative depart
ment itself, representing the public
will, enacted the law forbidding free
passes.
2. In making an allowance of $500
to the judges the Legislature made a
close estimate and cut it down to av-
erage cost, the $3.50 being less than
the travelling expenses of some and
more than that of others. The bill
as it passed the first house was $3.50,
but it was cut down in the other
house. The travelling expenses al
lowed members of the legislature,
however, is over three times their
actual expenses, i. e., ten cents per
mile. The mileage paid members of
the legislature each session out of
the public treasury is $40 900. As the
State pays them over three times their
actual expenses, those who ride on
free passes get four times what they
are out whereas the judges get only,
on an average, actual expenses.
3. Members of the Legislature can
help corporations many times where
q Judge can,,help them once, and as
they elect United States Senators
their bias can be continued in the Sc
lection of the upper house at Wash
ington. 1t is we'll known that the
Southern Railways pass book was
one of the potent influences that Sc
cured the election of Senator Pritch-
ard at the hands of men who had
been elected on a platform in favor
of free coinage and antl-monopoly.
4. The Legislature last winter rep
resented the public will by defeating
the bill introduced at the suggestion
of Commissioner s. Ohio Wilson
(who lobbied for its passage) to al
low Railroad Commissioners free
passes: AS the Legislature has ex-
actly the same power to cut down
freights and fares as the Commits.
sion there is the same reason the
members should not take passes.

GRAPHITE in the state.

A fine graphite mine has been
discovered in Mcdowell county,
which contains 100000 tons east
ly accessible. Twenty million
pounds of graphite is used in the
United States annually, over
100000 being imported. A COM
pany will soon develop it. The
mine is within about five miles OF
the Western North Carolina Rail-
road.
A Philadelphia gentleman has
been shown some specimens OF
graphite by the Labor Commission
er and has become deeply interest
ed. 1t is probable that some
Philadelphia capitalist will soon
develop this industry in Western
North Carolina on a large scale.

There is one thing worth more yet
than Alaska gold, and that is health.
It takes the best Of health to
find Alaska gold, and it takes the best
of health to enjoy its use after it is
found. There is nothing . man would
accept in exchange for health. Without
health gold becomes as worthless as
paving-bl and diamonds - useless
q pebbles. Many an invalid has found
in Pe-ru-na something more precious
than gold-has found restored health.
Catarrah in some form destroys more
people than all other diseases. No one
can have health and catarrh At the
same time. Pe-ru-na cures catarrh
wherever located; catarrh Of head,
