negotiable paper is involved. The en-
dorsements on negotiable paper that
has gone the rounds of number of
banks is a curious commentary on the
diversity of laws in the various States.
This law with regard TO negotiable
Instruments has an interesting history.
1t is practically the English law, | am
told, and was first recommended by the
National Bar Association in its meet
ing at Saratoga. 1t has since been en-
dorsed by Il number of business. bank
ing and legal associations. II is at pres
ent the law in thirteen or fourteen
States. among them some of the more
important commercial States. Uniform
ity of laws on this subject would be
of great benefit TO the commercial world.
The law passed by the last General
Assembly is the same as that of New
York. This viii he of great convenience
not only to bankers. but TO all business
men who have dealings with New York
firms. AS it is now n large volume OF
the business of this State is with citizens
of New York. Under the old law nego-
table paper was made out under one
law in New York and had to be col
lected under another i'll North Carolina
which often gave rise TO confusion and
sometimes 10 actual loss.
'.,The law was not passed in the inter
est OF any class of business men and is
of as much value TO one as to another
The law was endorsed by some of the
ablest lawyers in the State when it was
before the legislative committee and its
passage has put North Carolina in line
with other States in This branch of com
mercial law
An examination of the law revealed
the fact that the three days of grace
have not been abolished in this State
The original bill carried Il clause abol
ishing the three days. but it was strick-

The law as to vaccination is sufficiently
explicit. 1t provides that the money for
vaccine may be furnished by the county
commissioners and declares that the au-
thorities Of any city or town. or the
board of county commissioners of any
county, may make such regulations and
provisions for the vaccination of its in

The State Board of Health would not
have it understood that there is any
cause for alarm. but feel that the time
has come in the interest of the health and
business Of the State when vigorous and
scientific measures should be taken TO
put a stop to the spread of the disease.
TO that end they hope that all cases
will be promptly reported and that the
local authorities will use the abundant
power vested in them by the law as to
