LOCAL LEGISLATION

1t is time to call halt on the local
legislation that takes up so much of
the time OF the Legislature. The SEES
sion is more than half over. and few
OF the really important bills have
been passed. The educational bill.
the appropriations for the various
State institutions. the revenue and
machinery act, the divorce bill and a
number OF others. are still on tn.
calendar with no prospect of early
passage. Almost the entire time has
ueen taken up with the Incorporation
OF Zion churches. authorizing tn.
building OF bridges over little streams.
appointing justices of the peace in
Smugwump township. enabling
Pod"nk to issue a special tax for y
caIaboose, putting Jim Jones on the
pension list, relieving William Smith
from eight dollars he owes the State
ana county. and other like mastery
acts OF legislation. The General Az
sembly knows nothing of local con-
oitlons, and depends for it's infprma-

ALL RECORDS BROKEN.

Aristocrats of high and ancien,
blood were a center of interest al
Blltmore farms yesterday. In a large
pit, thickly carpeted with shavings,
Reuben Gentry stood. earnestly de-
claiming the pedigree and long decen,
of the said aristocrats to a ring of
eager listeners. From time to time
they of the ancient, blood came out
into the pit, granting querulou>
protest that folk of their caliber
should be gazed upon by the vulgar
multitude and even made to move
on' by being whacked with a paddle.
All records were broken bv the frs,
annual sale Of Bcrkshires bv the Bilt-
more farms. Fifty-one head of the
finest bred hogs in the world were
disposed Of at auction, at an averag.
price Of over $1O2. The highest pric.
paid was $3.50 and the lowest $5l
The sale is regarded as an eminent,
successful one, and the record tx
reeds that OF any previous sale in tn,
United States or Great Britain.-Ashe-
