flee at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and organized for active work.

different branches of the work Among
the committees will be those on railroads

HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL.

6 To look beautiful is a duty which the
fair sex owe both to themselves and
their friends, said one of the wise men
of modern times, and with the discov-
cries of modern scientists there is no
good reason why they shouldn't perform
that duty. Every one should do all in his
power to supplement nature in adorning
the person, and while it is true that a
fine complexion is not given to all, yet the
work of nature, not always beautiful
NAL be improved upon in many ways.
The many thousands who have been bene-
flied BIZ DR.. I. F. Gouraud's Oriental
Cream, or Magical Beautilier, appreciate
this, and know its value as cosmetic
They know that a skin that is freckled
tanned, pimpled or moth-patched can be
made like the new born babes. 1t has
been recommended by physicians for those
who will use toilet preparations, and the
Board of Health has declared it free from
all injurious properties. All druggists and
fancy goods stores appreciate its value

Problems That Will Confront the Next Lsgis.
lature Discussed.

Senator-elect H. A. London, of Chat
ham, was in Raleigh yesterday. He had
talk with Judge Conner and other par
ty leaders upon the problem of raising
enough revenue to meet the needs of the
State, it's institutions and charities. He
has suggested a plan that ought to be
adopted, to-wit: Let the joint commit
tee on finance select a small commit
and most equitable methods of securing
additional revenue. This committee
could do great service, and if the needs
of the institutions are met some new
sources of revenue must be devised In
this weeks Chatham Record, which Sen
ator-elect London edits, he writes a
world of sense as follows:
The next Legislature will spend more
money than any previous Legislature, if
II complies with all the demands for ap-
preparations that are being made. And
nearly all these demands seem proper
and necessary.
For instance there is a very general
demand that more money shall be an
propriated to the public schools There
is also an absolute necessity for addl-
tional appropriations to our insane asy-
lums Justice and humanity demand that
more money be expended for the support
OF disabled eX-Confederate soldiers And
among other demands for appropriations
are the Reformatory for Juvenile crimi-
nails and a Code Commission, both of
which demands seem proper. And there
are others.
1T will thus be seen that the next
Legislature will be called upon to in
crease the public expenditures several
hundred thousand dollars And it would
not be wasteful extravaganza if all these
expenditures or appropriations should be
made. But how can they, or any of them,
be made? This is the question to be an
swered, and the perpleXinging problem to
be solved by our next makers. II is
very easy to make suggestions as to how
the States money shall be expended, but
it is not SO easy to suggest how that
money shall be collected. 1t would be
we'll, therefore, for those persons, who
are suggesting how to spend the States
money, to suggest also how to raise it.
THE rate of taxation now levied by
State and county has reached the con-
stitutional limit, and it is absolutely i'm
possible to levy and collect any more
taxes without finding other subjects of
taxation and properly valuing those al
ready taxed. Our Legislators must by
all means enact a better machinery and
revenue act than our State has ever yet
had This is their most important work,
and they should all go to Raleigh next
month determined to do it,

THE RUNAWAY GIRL.

One of the surest evidences of the
success and popularity of a musical
comedy is the demand made by the au-
dience for the repetition of more or
less of the musical members that are
introduced, or that form necessary
part of the play. This fact has been
and is nightly illustrated by the de-
mand made by the large audiences ait
tending the production of the interna-
tional musical comedy success, "A Run
away Girl" From two to six encores
are exacted of the artists singing the
catchy airs of 1.-The Sly Cigarette, :"

Boy Guessed Right, High Society,""

Duet and Dance SOLDIERS in TIL
Park" and the negro oddity 'The
Goblins." These musical gems. ana
several others, are nightly sang in this
production, and in conjunction with
many graceful dances performed by
both principals and chorus, and the
bright wit and sparkling humor per-
vading the play have served to estab-
fish "a Runaway Girl as the cleanest,
merriest and most meritorious musical
comedy of the age This exquisite
comedy, with all its original music and

GRAVEL VERSUS MACADAM.
Mr.. McMackin Will Advocate Selling the
Rock Crusher.

Mr.. W. c. McMackin, road superinten-
dent will recommend some very import
ant changes in road work, to the January
meeting of the County Commissioners
He VIII advocate the making of gravel
instead of Macadam roads. and that the
county sell the rock crusher and purchase
the rock necessary, already crushed, from
Greystone.
He says that gravel roads are better
for travel, are cheaper, and better in
every respect except that they will not
last so long without repair than the
macadam roads. Macadam costs 81 SOC
per mile, gravel casts $500 per mile. For
such places as absolutely require macad-
am, he recommends that the material be
purchased from Greystone. This material
cost $1.22 per cubic yard, and Mr.. Nc
Mackin says is cheaper and more durable
than that crushed by the city.

is CONSUMPTION CoSnNG2

Great Brtaln's experience In South
Africa has given rise 10 a discussion
on the advlsabllity Of introducing con-
scriptlon in that country. and as usu-
al, quite widely differing conclusions
are drawn from the same premises.
Great Britain, Notwithstanding her
small standing army has been able to
send a distance OF 1000 miles over 2O0,-
600 men on short notice, and without
weakening the countrys home defenses.
Il is doubtful whether any other
European country with its immense
armies could have done that. Count
sternberg. an Austrian who has now
returned from Africa. where he was
connected with Cronje's force. says no
continental power could have sent so
many troops such a distance from
home. II this is true. It is evident that

THE QUEENS VISIT,

As was anticipated the welcome ac-
corded Queen Victoria by her subjects
Of the Emerald Isle amounted to an
ovation. Whatever may be the sent-
ment Of many Irshmen toward the
British government, there IS nothing
but loyalty toward the exalted lady that
wears the crown Of the vast empire.
II is a good many years since the
Queen found an opportunity Of visit
ing Ireland, and the present journey
Is by many interpreted to mean that
the time has come Tor the Inauguration
Of a better understanding and more
cordial feeling between the peoples on
the two sides Of the Irish channel.
The occasion Of the visit Is one which
necessarily must appeal strongly to the
patriotism Of the Irish people. The
Queen comes ostensibly FOR the purpose
Of paying as It We're a tribute 70 the
valor and galantry Of the sons Of Erin
now serving the country In South
Africa The reply could not be other
wise than an ovation 10 prove that the
loyalty Of the Irish soldier Is rivaled
by the loyalty Of the Irish citizen.
Nothing more may be Intended on
either side than an exchange Of COM
pliments, such as often pass. In a

iects, but II it win open an era OF
