The bills are pouring in like a deluge.
There Isl 40 telling what a day will bring
forth nor how many things. The leg
islators are wide awake with pockets
stuffed with bills. Read and keep up.
Mr.. Winston's bill will at once attract
wide attention. It is to have a consti-
tutional amendment based in part on
the Louisiana law, that has been much
criticised both in the south and in the
to read and write or have $500 of prop
erty. 1t provides for the voting of all
whose parents could read before jan
uary 1867, or are descended from SOL
diers. This law would to a great ex-
tent eliminate the negro vote.
There was a discussion over erasing
Jim Young's name from the stone in the
deaf and dumb building. 1t should be
done, and will be done, no doubt.
Mr.. Bryan, of Craven, introduced a
bill looking to the providing of a better
system of government in chapter 1876,
1895, and re-enacts the laws that we're
repealed by the said chapter.
Senator Jerome has a bill providing
for stenographic reporters to serve the
judges. This may be a necessity and
Improvement.
Senator Daniels introduced a bill that
will disturb Cy Thompson and lessen
his receipts. 1t is a bill to turn the
fees of insurance companies into the
state treasury instead of paying them
to the secretary of state. The News and
Observer says that by this bill Cy will
get but three ciphers for his salary as
fat fees will be fanked off and thereby
some thousands are saved to the state.
This is important.

London, January 7.-Al events seem
to work together in European politics
to increase the tension between Great
Britain and France. The past week
has brought Madagascar and Egypt
forward as i%rritants, just when the
mutual irritability was subsiding. Ever
he most conservative observers begin
to take a pessimistic view of their re-
1ations between the two powers This
includes those who up to the present
nave considered the billigerency to be
mere talk due to supersensitiveness
upon the part Of France and to unEec-
essary gruffness pom the part of Great
Britain insisting upon what she con-
siders to be her rights. On side,
France seems to foster the growing
belief that Great Britain is determined
under some pretext or other. to force
her into wal and is willing to MAKE a
pretext If no plausible execure arises.
On the other side, a large party of the
British public profess that their pa
thence has been strained beyond en-
durance by what they deem to be the
unvarnished dishonesty of French d.
plomacy.
The past t~wenty-fOur hours brought
the publication of the Madagascar

THE HEAVY EXPENDITURES OF
THE LAST SENATE.

Probably the most ~scandalous thing
that ever occurred from the beginning
Of a North Carolina commonwealth
until now, in connection with legisla-
tive matters, is the conduct of the last
state senate composed almost entirely
of radicals and populists. It is a Bills
tering, disgusting record. The Raleigh
News n Observer has done service
able and needed work in bringing out
a list of the officers in the senate in
the late session, and in contrast the
officials who served during the session
of 1877 under democratic domination.
In twenty years the number of the
employed has doubled. That is to say
the senate as composed of the combine
in 1897, put in twice the number of
henchmen to receive pay that the DEM
ocrats required, and that too in the
face of the fact that it is possible to
easily carry on legislative pushes at
less cost now than formerly by reason
of Improvements mad in the matter
of lights, water n fuel. The enormity
of the absolute rascality practiced is
seen at once in the figures. The sixty
members composing the senate received
for services s14, IA. s0-pay fixed by
law. The employees of that fine, au-
gust assembly were paid the unpar-
donable sum of s11, LAP. so, for their in
valuable attention and ~stupendods SER
vices.
Let the democrats at once cure this
evil. The people will hold them to
strict account if UGH abuses are i'm
itated. Race heavily the entire list
in both houses, and chop off at least
thirty heads in the senate or more.
This wholesale robbery of the people
must end. Let rigid economy prevail
everywhere. 1t is no time for frills and
fringes in legislation. The senate cut
down pay of clerks and doorkeepers
from S. 30 81. What is the pay of
members? Is it more than 81.

was eminently a thinker and an orator

verses of his letter to the Romans, fifth

enough to save the world. He sets
forth with great precision of statement
the blessedness of being justified

FaTherefore big justified by faith, We

How to Prevent Pneumonia

You are perhaps aware hat pneu-
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe a few years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed hat the
attack was never followed by hat dis
ease when Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edyi was used. It counteracts any ten
dency~of a cold or la grippe to result
in that dangerous disease. It is the

DR.. Richard Calling, the great gun
inventor, and a North Carolinian, had
a fondness for science when a lad. He
followed the bent of his natural en-
dowments. The following is given of
him when but IL years old
cat that time his father was puzzling
over a machine for sowing cotton
seeds; but, try as much as he would,
he could not perfect it, n at last, in
a fit of despair, he called in Richard
to his aid. The lad listened attentive
ly to the details of the proposed inven-
ton, fully grasped the difficulties, shut
himself up in a room to think, and in
a little while suggested a way out of
them. This was eagerly adopted by
the elder Calling, with the result that
the machine was perfected n became
a great success"

Dir Heavenly Father and also in

and abundant promises are enough for
all His children. He gives promises
of blessings in this present life and the
glory of God hereafter. Gods own
faithful children are filled with abiding
and confident expectation that soon
Heaven will be their eternal portion and
they shall enter in and dwell with Him
in everlasting bliss and JOY. This is
enough to fill the soul with raptures,
to bring to the sincere believer glad
foretastes of the blessed inheritance,
and to make light all present sorrows,
disappointments and sufferings. The
light Affections" Of this present, tran

aches and calamities and Affections we
still rejoice and have peace with God"
and "have access by faith" and are

comes to the believer as his portion of
the Divine favor because the love of
God is shed abroad in our hearts by the
Holy Ghost which is given unto U.S."
It is Gods work through the Divine
Spirit. We have only touched upon five
