JUSTIFYING THY C0NFInXNCI
OF THE PE0PLE/

The House of ReprelEStatives yester-
day passed the act ADMITTING the snf-

I lhted in North Carolina.
Only two speeches were made by the
advocates of the amendment Hon.
George Rountree, of New Hanover,
chairman of the committee that draft
ed the bill. made the opening speech.
and it was an able, strong, clear, states
manlike speech--worthy of the history
making occasion. Hon. Francis ID.
Winston. who closed the debate for the
amendment, in the FIVE minutes allotted
TO him, made one of the most eloquent
appeals that has ever been heard in the
capitol of North Carolina.
To-day the Senate will pass the bill by
the requisite majority.
Thus day by day the Legislature
iustifes the confidence reposed in it by
the people.

court should decide that the new act Is
not legal. What would the people OF
North Carolina think of this Legislature
if, after it has adjourned, the Railroad
Commission is composed of DR.. Abbott,
$. Ohio Wilson and one good man who
would be outvoted whenever he proposed
anything that was in the interest of the
shippers or the travellers? Was this
Legislature elected for any such pur-
nose? Did any man in North Carolina
ever suppose this Legislature would
seriously consider making itself the
agent for calling Ohio Wilson from the
shades of retirement, vindicating him
from charges made by his political as
socates. and elevating him to a higa
office? That is what this Legislature
will do if it adopts the report presented
by the special committee.
Next Monday new Railroad Com
mission act will be presented 10 the
Legislature that will involve the election
of three Commissioners for two years
by the Legislature, and afterwards 10y
the people. That act, in our judgment,
is legal and constitutional, and will not
be annulled by any adverse Supreme
decision. But, as everybody
knows, it is impossible to state positively
that the court will not pronounce the
statute invalid and use the decisions III
the asylum eases as precedents tor The
decision. If that should happen then
the Legislature of North Carolina. IN this
year of grace, 1899. elected by fair men
to give the people a fair Reilroad Conn
mission. will be chargcable with having
given the State a Commission which
will not enjoy. the confidence of the
State.

He Came Back Rich.

A rather romantic story, and appar-
emily well authenticated, comes from
Pilgriham, Clarion county. Twelve
years ago Powell DIETRICH, of that
place, mysteriously disappeared. He
had been mentally deranged for two or
thre years previous, and, although a
vigilant search was made by relatives
and neighbors, nothing was heard of
him, and it was supposed that he had
fallen into stream and been drown
ed, or wandered into the woods and
had died. His friends mcurned him
as dead and he was almost forgotten
by all but his relatives until last
month when he returned home in full
possession of his mental faculties and
in ,ne possession of considerable mon
ey, some say amounting to thousands
Of dollars. His father was somewhat
in debt and the returned son set him
self to pay off all of his indebtedness
The peculiar part of the story is thai
the returned wandered does not know
just when he regalneu his mental fac
ulties, but has been wandering oveI
over the country for years.-Derrick

coin j. Carter's new sensational scenic
melodrama, Just Before Dawn" at the
Auditorium. The play is laid in and
about the coal regions of Pennsylvania
just after the suppression of dhatno-
tor.ous league of the Mollie McGuires.
Outside of the gorgeous mimic rep
resentat!on of the country SURROUNDING
the locality of the action of the play,
the character drawings are true types
Of rough manhood, culled from the ev-
cry day life of the toilers of the coal
regions. They live and breathe as ma
ture intended men and women should,
tnelr actions are rational and wer it
not or the act of the severel stipend
Gus effects introduced into the story
as portrayals of incidents which only
WHITES the theme for an instant to a
point of realism, "Just Before Dawn
could properly be called a pastoral
drama
Mr.. Carriers well known ability as a
producer of thrilling mechanical SEN
sattons was never taxed to greater
degree of success than in this especial
play, and what his on coming engine
effect in THE Heart of Chicago" is tC

A Troublesome Doctor.

A Cincinnati bridegroom had his
wedding outfit attached for a Doctors
bill. The physician wanted $2S for SER
vices rendered, but the young man re-
fused to pay, stating for an excuse
that he was about to be married and
that the doctor could well afford to do
without his money for a while But
the physician could not see it that way
and swore out writ of attachment,
which was served. When the con-
stable arrived at the place the young
man had his wedding apparel spread
out on the bed and was getting ready
to don it. A settlement of the claim
was asked and refused. The constable
then seized the entire outfit, and pack
ing the same in trunk, had it carted
to the Justices office, where it will re-
main until the case is disposed of.
The young man did not allow the mat
ter to interfere with his wedding, but
went ahead and was married in his ev-
teryday clothes.-Derrlck.
