THE EAcHMENI TRIIL

The trial for the impeachment q
Chief Justice Furches and Associate
Justice Douglass Is progressing fully as
rapidly as had been anticipated.
Judge Allen made strong speee b
for the prosecution and Judge Bynum
likewise for the defense. Considerable
interest attaches to the trial, and crowds
are in attendance every day. Judge
Clark was net put ON the stand as a
witness for the prosecution.
Chief Justice Furches and Justice
Douglass have both testified in thei:
own behalf ana according to the New
and Observer of Goth, Judge Furches
made fine witness for himself. Mucl:
expert testimony Is yet to be given
and there is no telling just when thu
trial will end. It is a great cause and
every inch of ground will be fought Oh
both sides.

COST OF THE LEGISLATURE.


THE COMMONWEALTH has for num-
Der of years advocated a change in our
Constitution, fixing elections not often
er than once in four years. There are
many arguments to sustain what we
regard as the wisdom OF our position.
The latest bit of argument we have
seen is the following little item from
Sundays News and Observer stating
the cost to the State OF the Legisla-
ture. It says:
"The total cost OF the session of the
General Assembly Of 1901 is estimated
at from slxty-five to seventy thousand
dollars IL the House of Representa-
tives tic per diem of the members and
the Speaker has amounted to 1923 800.
90. The mileage paid was 81, O91 80
The per diem and mileage of the clerks
and employees came to exactly Sill ,206'
90. This makes total for the House
OF S44 ,217.S9."

GIRLS LEARNING 70 COOK.

Most of us will agree with the toll
lowing sensible remarks by The States
vile Landmark
"Mrs. Rorer, head of the Phlladel-
phia cooking school and a famous au-
thority on the culinary art, is giving
lectures in Raleigh on cooking. The
Landmark gives hail and good day &c
Mrs. Rorer. We hope she will sue
coed in impressing on the women OF
this day and generation that the art OF
properly preparing food for the table is
one of the most important branches Of
domestic science and one that is worthy
of their careful attention and consider
they learn how to prepare cakes, pies
and other nicknacks, but they should
know how to prepare bacon and beans,
corn bread, greens and the other COM
mon stuff that common folks have
to eat.
cit would be blessing to us all if
young white women of respectabi lily,
instead of considering knowledge of
cooking and housekeeping a disgrace,
would study domestic science and ele-
yate this most Important part OF do
nestle economy to the plane which its
importance demands"

Associated Press.
Louisville, KY, March 14-"Scme
people condemned General Harrison
when he marriad the second time"
said Louisville Judge yesterday who
was associated with General Harrison
in legal cases, "but this would not have
been so had they understood all the
circumstances of that marriage.
ellis second marriage was opposed
by his two children, Colonel Russell B..
Harrison and Mrs. Mary Harrison Nc
Kee. Feeling that their opposition
was in manner justified, General Har-
rlson turned over to them his whole
fortune with the exception of his house
In Indianapolis, and said with that
characteristic Grmness - Il shall now
start out again in life, and whatever I
may make shall belong to my wife and
any children God may bless me with
"He turned over to his son and daugh-
ter about 100000 accumulated In the
practice of law and saved from his sal
airy as President. Since his second
marriage he has accumulated about
twice that much, and am told his
will will cut off his children by his
first wife with a mere mention, and
he has left his second fortune to his Sc
cord wife and his chilo by her. Since
the second marriage his son, Russell,
and his daughter have not visited their
fathers home in Indianapolis.

that within ten days after the service
of said notice a fall and fair apology
| correction and retraction was published
IN the same editions OF corresponding
issues OF the newspaper Or periodical in
which said article appeared, and in as

DO WE NEED PROHIBITION?

The Greenyille Reflector gives the
following account of homicide at Ay-
den:
"Whiskey is responsible for another
murder being added to the criminal
list ct Pitt county.
"At Ayden Saturday night several
parties got to fussing IN bar room
when G. G. Braxton received terrible
cut On the sideef his neck from which
he bled to death in about five min
utes.
Coroner Laughlnghouse went down
Sunday to hold an inquest, but the
evidence developed Jailed to fix the
responsibility of the killing. Braxton,
Lewis McLawhorn, Lewis Griffin and
!. negro were all mixed up in it, and
Griffin was also badly cut.
at seems that there had been trouble
between some Of the parties during the
day, and it was renewed after night.
Not long before the killing McLaw-
horn went before the Mayor to have
g warrant issued for one of the others.
The negro who was connected with
the trouble has disappeared.
at is an unfortunate affair and the
people of Ayden very much regret~its
occurrence.

WHAT OF 1.-THE NEW RAIL
ROAD?

The Raleigh and Virginia Railroad
Company has been incorporated. 1t
is proposed to run a railroad from
Raleigh through Northampton county
to some point on the Virginia line.
The road, it Is said, will pass
through Wake, Franklin, Nash,
Warren and Halifax counties.
The following particulars are taken
from the News and Observer
"The incorporators are T. G. Skinner,
w. D. Pruden, Hugh L. Pope and E..
p. Duer, of Maryland; Hiram r. Bur-
tell, of Delaware e. II. Causey, Jr.,
and George l.. Barton, OF Virginia.
The company is given the power to
connect and operate under the authori-
ty of the State of Virginia from its
northern terminus or with any other
road. 1t may build branch roads OF
not more than 20 miles in length, and
may run in connection with its bust
ness boats, ferries, etc. The capital
stock of the company is to be not less
than $4,000 and not to exceed 49,
100000. Whenever $4,000 of the
capital stock shall have been subscribed
and $1,000 paid in the stockholders
may meet and organize. The company
is to have nine directors, who shall
select from among their number a
president and vice-president."
The COMMONWEALTH believes In be-
ing on time always. Why not the
people of Enfield and Scotland Neck
set their energies together to bring the
proposed road from Raleigh by Enfield
to Scotland Neck and then on to
Northampton?
A straight line from Raleigh to Jack
son would pass near Ringwood, and
cross Roanoke river say between Hall
fax and Tillery. 1t would not be much
of curve to swing the road little to
the right OF straight line and bring
it by Enfield to Scotland Neck and
then on across the river.
1t such road is to be built it will be
quite possible to bring it by Scotland
Neck. It will cost nothing to look
into the matter.
Scotland Neck needs more transpor-
important improvement in that dlrec
ton. A road leading to Raleigh would
be convenience which the people OF
this community would greatly appreci-
ate; and by the way, it might not
hurt Raleigh much to be closely linked
to Scotland Neck.

EXPIRE SIDENT EARRI SON
DEAD.

Ex-President BENJAMIN Harrison
died at his home at INDIANAPOLIS.
Indiana, Wednesday, March 18th.
He was nearly seventy years old, and
throughout his public career, which
covered most of his life from his ma
jority, he was hfgh-toned gentleman.
Few men who have been prominently
connected with the history and doipgs
OF the country for half a century, have
left such a spotless character and have
enjoyed the respect and esteem Of all
political parties to such a marked de-
gree.
The country loses much in the
death OF such citizen no matter to
what political party he belongs. 4
pure minded man is to be admired
and honorsd everywhere, and especially
when he comes out of the slime of lat
ter day politics with garments unsoiled
The death of Benjamin Harrison is
regretted by the people of the en-
tire country. Only now and then in
q century does such a man hold high
power and leave SUCH a benedistion
by stainless life.
