BISMARCK, y. D. Jan. 26.-Senator La
yayea has introduced bill IN the North
Dakota Legislature which is aimed at
woman suffrage. and there VIII be a Wig
OTOus lobby against it.
The bill provides that persons eligible
to vote or hold school Offices must be
qualified electors under the general laws
of the State. At present women are al
lowed to vote for and hold school Offices
IN North Dakota This bill would cut of
from them that privilege, since they are
not qualified electors under the general
laws Of the State.

ample for other men of means With
the present condition of affairs IN
North Carolina, we are inclined to
believe that money invested in pub
lie libraries will benefit more people
than that given in any other way.
We were pleased to discover last
week that Benjamin Franklin in his
day stood squarely upon one of the
most important planks in The Pro
gressive Farwer's platform. More
than a century ago, Poor Richard
said: GA Bible and a newspaper in
every house, a good school in every
district-all studied and appreciated
as they merit, are the principal sup
ports of virtue, morality and civil
liberty"
One check returned last week be-
cause we did not know whether or
not the advertiser was reliable, and,
therefore, would not insert his ad. /;
another money order kept over until
we al ascertain whether or not an
other wOuld-be advertiser fulfls his
promises. Such is our record for
one week. We are determined to
allow nc dishonest person or firm to
solicit patronage through our adver-
Using columns. We ask readers to
patronize those whose ads. we do &C
cept, having reason to believe that
every subscriber will find it to his
interest to do so.

ROAD LEGISLATION.

The State as sorely needs proper
road legislation as good laws of any
other kind. Some good work along
this line may be expected from the
Senate committee ON public roads,
of which Capt. S.. B. Alexander, of a
county noted for the excellence of
it's highways, is chairman.
Since the above was put in type,
the Charlotte Observer of 2nd has
come to hand, from which we clip
the following item:
''It is gratifying to e in our Raj
eigh correspondence this morning
that Senator Alexander, of this
county, is drafting a general road
law, which will fit every county in
the State, and that he will have it
ready by next Wednesda~. Capt.
Alexander was the father of the good
roads legislation for Mecklenburg,
the result of which has been no.
only TO promote the comfort of the
people, to lengthen the lives of their
stock and their vehicles and to
greatly enhance the value of their
real estate, but to give the county u
reputation which extends all over
the South and beyond it. He is a
competent authority upon public
road legislation and any road law of
his drawing any county will do we'll

FOR WINTER STUDY.

We often have occasion to quote
from WalIace's Farmer, which we
regard as perhaps the most ably ed
tied strictly agricultural journal in
the country, for its section. In a
recent issue it has the following upon
u subject to which Tie Progressive
Farmer has also given much atten-
ton. Says DR.. Wallace:
cit is time now for the farmer
who is farming for all there is in it.,
and especially for the boy or young
man who expects to make his mark
in the one business of life which
gives the maximum of real happi-
ness and the minimum of discomfort.
to think about what books he will
read and study during the winter.
For in the future farming will not
be done by mere strength and awk-
wardness. Competition between the
farmers of the world is too keen and
the farmer of the future must win
by understanding the laws under
which he operates and the principles
which long experience has proven to
be correct, thus intelligently guiding
his efforts, or else he will go to the
wall. No farmer is. too old to begin
studies of this kind, and the boy d
not begin them too sOon
1--WE suggest for farmers winter
reading three books which we are
sure will pay good Scripture meas
ure 'heaped up, pressed down and
shaken together, and running over, ,
to every man who will study them.
These r The Soil,' by Professor
King of Wisconsin, price postpaid,
75c THE Fertility of the Land by
Professor Roberts, price $3.50, and
{ Principles of Agriculture edited
by Professor Bailey, price $1.25.
We procured these books early
in the summer, examined them at
our leisure, to study before calling
this attention to their Importance.
We do not know of any way in which
the farmer can better employ his
leisure time than by making a care
full study of the books above men
toned. He will find them helpful
every day during the coming crop
season and the investment a very
profitable one"

o 7 THE BIRDS.

The Progressive Farmer has more
than once called attention to the
short-sighted policy of b~ird-destruc-
ton and the great increase in num-
Der of insect pests sure to result.
Here's an object lesson from a recent
issue of the Charlotte Observer
''The greed for gain has driven
some of the local pot hunters mad on
the subject of birds. Within the
last few days many song birds,
among the number hooking birds,
thrushes, catbirds and the like, have
been killed and sold on the Charlotte
market: A long string of birds of
song and beautiful plumage, one Of
which was a hooking bird, was seen
dangling in front of a produce store
on College street yesterday. With
the exception of the quails there was
not an edible bird in the lot"
If farmers continue to allow the
needless destruction of their bird
friends, they will reap the fruits of
their folly in insect-ravaged crops
and heavy bills for sprays and in
secticides.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS MEET.

Thursday morning, 31st, the Con-
federate Veterans State Convention
held a meeting in Raleigh, Metropol-
itan Hall, Julian s. Carr presiding.
The special committee, A. B. Stron-
ach, James A. Bryan, G. S. Fergu-
son, Rev. E. A. Osborne and W. j
Woodward, made the following e
port, which was unanimously adopt
ed:
Report by committee on Soldiers
Home and pensions: We recommend
that the convention memorabilia the
Legislature to appropriate for the
maintenance of the Soldiers Home
$50, 900 and for the erection of new
buildings and the repairs and pres
ervation of buildings $4,000.
2. That the pension tax be increas-
ed from 80 to 5 cents on the 800 of
property and from 10 to Is cents on
the poll.
3. That all Confederate soldiers
whose record is honorable and have
reached the age of 70 and who for
any cause have become unable to
support themselves and who are not
possessed of property to the amount
of $500 and that all widows of Con
federate soldiers who were married
prior to the close of the war and
have reached the age of IS and who
for any cause are unable to support
themselves and who are not possess
ed of property to the amount of $500
shall be placed upon the pension lists
as pensioners of the fourth class.
4. That there be no further pen
sion legislation.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The educational committee of the
Legislature, after long study of the
schOol-book problem, has decided in
favor of State adoption. In this we
believe they have acted wisely. The
change will probably result in u re-
duction of % per cent. in price of
textbooks.
The people are beginning to realize
the evils of over legislation. The
Davidson Dispatch thinks the Legis-
lature fought to meet about once in
sixyears unless circumstances should
demand IN extra session" We are
inclined to think that one session
each four years is quite enough.
The war and revenue tax of II cents
per pound on manufactured tobacco
will probably be reduced to 9. Among
those who have done good work in
behalf of the proposed reduction are
Senator Pritchard, Col. John S. Cum
ningham, and Congressman Atwater,
Kitchin, and Kluttz, of North Caro-
lima.
The Waynesville Courier says
efforts are being made to secure the
establishment of rural free delivery
in Haywood and several other West
ern counties. With the appropria-
ton increased to So, 500, 900, fifty t.
one hundred new routes ought to be
established in North Carolina at
once.
Three years ago the three mo t
noted figures in European politics
were Bismarck, Gladstone and Vic
toria. For the larger part of fifty
years each had been doing titanic
and enduring work in shaping the
destinies of nations. Gladstone and
Bismarck, cold men, broken with the
storms of state" died within a few
months of each other, and now Vic
toria, the last of the great trio, has
walked the way of nature.
