which ne is CAPABLE. 1t is not q rare
case that the Speaker has not appointed

stances there has been no opportunity
We have been called together IN extra
ordinary session and the question was
what was the best course for us to pur-
sue: whether we should wait in appoint
ing the committees until such time as
would make the appointments more SUIT
able: or whether the public service was
i'm such a condition that they ought 10
be done. Now the chair has had fuli
consultation with the various members
as he has met them upon the suDJect,
and until this morning he supposed that
il was the unanimous feeling OF the
House that it was not necessary 10 ap-
pnint the committees in haste, because

House for its purposes and its purposes
alone. not for any selfish purposes, not
for him to carry out any personal desires
or designs of his own, but to carry out the
wishes of the House as he understands
them after faithful and conscientious
examination of the subject. If the House
thinks that any occupant or the cnalr ~
not carrying out its wishes, is not acting
as it's representative the remedy is in the
hands of the House at any time; and
the chair cheerfully welcomes any action
on the part of the House whose repre-
sentative he is. prolonged applause on
the Republican side.)
The House then took recess OF ~
minutes to wait for the return OF the
food resolution from the Senate. In ~
minutes it was delivered by the Senate
clerk and the Speaker attached his
signature to it.
Then at 1:20 p. M, the House ad-
iourned until Saturday.

death turns aside and whose first born es-
cape unscathed while the children of others
perish. The chosen people are the healthy
people. Nine-tenths of the deaths among
children are due to the ill-health of the
mothers during the period preceding moth
erhood Every woman owes it to herself her
husband and her children to keep herself
healthy in a womanly way. She should
thoroughly understand her own physical
makeup. She should realize the import
lance of keeping the organs of womanhood
healthy and vigorous. She can only do this
by taking proper care of herself and using
the proper remedy for weakness or disease
of those organs.
The best remedy for weakness or disease of
the organs peculiar to women is Dr.. Pierce's
FavOrite Prescription. 1t is truly wonderful

the Methodist church closed tonight.
This series of meetings, which were be-
gun here two weeks ago by Rev. David
Sampson, assisted by Misses Annie Ed
gerton and Ruth Worth, and later on
by Rev. J. r. Jones, resulted in great
revival and Strengthening of all the
churches in the town, all of whom unit
ed in the work, and scores of CONVEX
sions were made 1t has been several
years since such a spiritual awakening
has been manifested in Lexington, and
the earnest, efficient and faithful work
of these ministers of the Quaker church
has left it's impress upon our town.
They have a warm place in the hearts
Of our people. They believe in the old
time religion, gotten in the old way.
They all left this morning on the north
bound train. Rev. Mr.. Jones lives at
Guilford College, and has been in the
evangelistic work for number of
years. Mr. Sampson is a native Of

Several hundred packages Of radishes,
cabbages and asparagus went off by the
way of the A. and N. c. Railroad yester-

cents dozen.
Fish were again in better supply yes
terday, and prices were lower. Buck
shad sold at Is cents pair, and roe shad
at Is to 30 cents pair. Herring sold

The Republicans Scandalously Destroy
ed Local Self Government.
(Kinston Free Press.)

(kinston Free Press)
The Legislature amended the charters
of Wilmington and Newbern so that
the Governor appoints part of the alder
men of those cities. Is that the boast
ed local self government of the Repub-
lican party? If the Governor can be Civ
en- power TO appoint part Of the aldermen
of q town or city, we see no reason why
he could not be given power to appoint
all the aldermen Of alf~the towns and
cities in the State-and let one man run
the entire State, which would be one
man power-not Republicanism in theory
but Republicanism as partially practiced

DEBAsING LEGISLATION,

The spat between Democratic
senators over the tariff exposed a
little Democratic discord, but it was
chiefly interesting on account OF
the light the debate threw on the
debasing influence ofprotectlve leg
islaton,
Senator Tillman roughly express
ed the feeling that actuates con-
gressmen in voting for protective
taxes when he said that If any
stealing was to be done he wanted
South Carolina to get share OF It,
This is the brutal truth which is
more dehcately expressed by the
plea for the "equaIiaing" Of the
tariff. The spoils of taxation are
divided up between special interests
in the different sections Of the
country, Hitherto the northeast,
as the manufacturing center, has
received the lions share, but the
development Of the country has
brought other claimants into the
field and the northeast must COM
promise in order to get the priyl'
leges it seeks
The scramble for the fruits Of
robbery is the inevitable conse-
quence of the policy Of comforting
benefits upon certain interests or
classes Of people by legislation,
The power OF legislation to concen-
trate the wealth Of the people on
the favored few by discriminating
taxation Is so great that vast cor
ruption follows In the wake Of It's
exercise for that purpose For
