Raleigh, N. c., Feb. 1.-THE PROPOSE
ton to take COO of the State convicts
and employ them on three of the ltoa-
noke farm in sugar beet growing is re-
newed. Strange to say, the authorities
do not take to the idea. The truth is
that the penltentiary is in politics and
until 1t Is removed from that sphere
will never be paying institution. 1t
is certainly costing the State u great
sum now. This Legislature Will have
a heavy bill to pay for debts and for
this years maintenance.
The formation of the state Bar Asso-
citation last night was very successful
The attendance gratiiied the promoters.
1t is strange that no association mad
before been formed.
Not until next Tuesday will the SUI
preme Court announce the names OF
the applicants for attorneys license
who passed the examination.
1LLICIT DISTILLERIES RAIDED.
Revenue officers have made another
raid in Johnston county and destroyed
three Illicit distilleries.
The severe weather continues here.
Yesterday the temperature was above
zero; to-day it was 10. The cold to-
day, owing to q northeast wind, was
felt more than 1t was yesterday.
