Communication.

Where is that simple man that gave
ten reasons why Gordon should be
mayor the last election. One was that
he was the only man that could influence
the supreme court in the spring water
cases. Where was his influence in de-
Gliding one OF those cases the other day?
Who wrote the piece in one of the
Montpelier papers, and the Times copied
it the 4th. "Nlope it down their neck
But not the "4O0.'
Why are we getting Massachusetts
men as commissioners and experts, ex-
cept to help Gcodhue. Take your own
report for it: Why was not the city
council informed that we have competi-
ton that we could not shake off before
they set the price on the water plant,
but instead OF that some were made to
believe that we had but one man that
could blow the whole spring water out
of existence, but not the 400" as any
courts in Vermont, AS you have been
wisely told. Instead of Mr.. John Nc
Donald's competition he has imagined as
infringing on our rights you will see
that the Barre Water company were the
intruderS.
We will some day know that it is
honest men we should have in office
men that give good council and stand
by the people they represent. and above
all take Vermonter and do not say he
is not competent and go down to Massa-
chusetts after men to say that frog
spittle is better than spring water-who
said spring water would "never be
turned on the park while | lam in otficc?'
There are solemn facts coming to the
surface every day, so that some day the
blind can see and not be led by false
doctrines. Remember there is the .4OU"
that own no spring water, but cannot be
made fools of.
Cur ranks are full
Our faces are bright
We have no pull
On our peoples rights.

THE LAW ON DIVORCE.

Should One Years Abandonment be
Cause for Divorce.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1899-02-07

This bill was introduced by Mr.. Leath-
erwood, of Swain, who urged It's passage
on the ground that there was necessity
for it and that it could do no harm.
Such a law was passed by the Legis.
lature of 1897 effective only January 1,
1898. and MIR. Leathehwood's proposition
is simply to make this DIll the law for
all time.
Mr.. ;Rountree opposed the bill.
sin about two more Legislatures |
don't think anybody need go to South
Dakota to get divorce. They can
come to North Carolina. 1t seems TO me
we are moving very rapidly in the
wrong direction. The law in North
Carolina up to fifteen or twenty years
ago was about the best that could be
enacted. 1t was founded on The Book, :
MIR. Stevens, of Union, agreed with
Mr.. Rountrae. He considered the bill
very bad onc-a dangerous one.
Mr.. Leatherwood couldn't see any
harm the bin could do. 1t had, he said,
restored peace and happiness to many a
home
After some further discussion the bill
was referred to the Judiciary commit
tee.

ANOTHER DEAD FEE BILL.
Narrowing Tales of Poverty Among
the County Officers.

Narrowing Tales of Poverty Among
the County Officers.
The fee bill came up as a special order
at / o'clock.
Two bills had been set for hearing
at that hour-Mr Winston's bill, max
ing a cut of about % per cent in the
fees of all officers, and Mr.. McNeil's
bill making a 80 per cent reduction in
the fees of the registers of deeds.
Both met with the most determined
and violent opposition and were butch
cred before they could so much as get
decent hearing.
AS soon as the special order was called
Mr.. Winston took the floor in behalf OF
his bill. He explained that the cut in
fees was such as he thought right and
proper and was in keeping with the re-
duction in the price of cotton and other
farm products.
1T will be noticed he said, that
the cut is made in such matters as touch
the business interests, and not the Grim
inal law. | don't propose to make such
reduction i'll these latter fees as will
make it easier for criminals to escape
1t will be noticed that the reduction is
largest in the matter of recording deeds
and for recording crop liens
Mr.. Winston went over his bill care
fully item by item, pointing out the
justice of the proposed reduction.
This bill is a blow at every county
officer in the State" was the broad
side with which Mr.. Robinson. of Cum
beralnd, opened up ON it. 1T is withoE.
reason. There is no call for it, and it
ought not to pass"
Then he depicted the poverty-stricken
condition of the county officers.
Not sheriff in Cumberland county
for the past ten years has made liv-
ing"
As he spoke one could almost see the
wolf at the door of these patriots.
This bill is not only unjust, it is
bad public policy. 1t destroys the office
of register of deeds, and makes it inn
possible to get a competent man to fill
it,
| was wondering now an advertise
ment from some county for a competent
register of deeds would look iii the want
column of n newspaper, when Mr.
Kenneth, of Guilford, rudely remarked
that he had not heard of any of the
county officers resigning anywhere
since these fep-roarction bills had been
introdu, Il, or before.
Mr.. Council, chairman Of the Com
mittee on Salaries and Fees, explained
that the committee was preparing Il
bill for reduction of salaries and fees;
that the Democratic party was pledged
to such a measure and he favored it.
but he thought Mr.. Winston's bill sci
rather digging.
Mr.. Robinson moved to table the bill.
On this Mr.. Winston called the ayes
and noes.
The call being sustained, the roll
call resulted: Ayes, 10; noes, 81.
The bill went to the table, and Mr..
McNeill's bill was about to suffer the
same fate when Mr. Council asked that
it be sent back to the Committee on
Salaries and Fees to aid them in making
up the bill now in course of preparation.
The bill was so referred. This done
the vote by which Mr.. Winston's bill
was tabled was reconsidered and that
bin also was referred to the commit
foe.

THE PATENT MEDICINE BILL.
A Hearing Before the judiciary Com
mittee Next Friday.

mlttee Next FRIDAY.
The House judiciary committee yester,
day set Friday for argument on DR..
Reeves bill in regard to patent medi-
cines 1t is understood that druggists
from several towns and cities in the
State desire to appear before the COM
mittee in opposition to the bill
1t will be remembered that the bill
requires the sells of proprietary me- i
zines to print on the label the formula of
which they are composed.
DR.. Reeves, author of the bill, is a
practicing physician and Il man of high
character and attainments. The idea OF
the bill. as / gain it from him. is TO
correct the common evil among the pe0-
pie of taking all sorts of hurtful nos
trums and drugs. He says that a large
number Of such medicines are hurtful,
producing diseased organs. lie holds
that the person taking them ought to
be able to see what he is taking: that
whatever goes into mans stomach to
cure him of disease ought to be pure
and well known.
This is absolute protection to the
people. If the article is good then the
manufacturer ought not to fear a read
ing of his formula; if it is bad the peo-
ME ought to know it. The right OF
tbe manufacturer and seller are pro-
tected by patents and no possible harm
can come of the publication of the
formula

Then there is great big calendar
to dispose of, with local bills still pouring
in at the rate of score or more a
day. And no sign of drying up of the
spring from which they come.
1t is for these reasons that the House

and banged away for two hours on local
legislation

played, toa-the members of the House.
j counted the shots, and out of just ex
actly thirty bills ten went in a dead flut-
ter TO the table.
Save for the fatal cracking of another

tempt to loosen slightly the matrimonial
bonds. the day session was without in
cident, and the night session was like
unto it, only more so. 1t was the dead
