Judge Graham, of Granville, was pro-
ceeding to speak in support of the bill,
when the approach of the Senate was an
nounced, and the joint session of the
two bodies was held. a ballot being taken
for United States Senator without result,
and an adjournment of the joint session
was had until today at noon.

JOHNSTON PROHIBITION.
The bill to prohibit the manufactures Of
llquor IN johnston county, and its sale
OUTSIDE OF towns OF less than one hun.
dred bona fde inhabitants. passed it's
several readings, only one dissenting
vote, that of Mr. Bryan, of Wilkes.
Mr.. Abell, of Johnston, explaining the
bill. stated that it was an issue in tho
campaign, and was almost unanimously
approved by his people. Since surround
ing counties had prohibited the manu-
lacture OF liquor, there was a tendency to
make johnston county dumping ground
for distileries, legal and moonshine. The
bill did not prohibit the manufacture of
brandy from fruits and berries.
LIVE STOCK RECORD.
The bill requiring all butchers and
dealers in live stock to keep a record
of persons from whom live stock was
purchased, with description and marks
on same, was strongly opposed by Mr..
Doughton, who declared there was no
demand or need for such law; that in
his section which was the pest live stock
region in North Carolina it would be ex-
ceedingly inconvenient, unpopular and
odious. The bill was laid on the table.
AMENDED TO 81 500
The bill allowing an appropriation of
two thousand dollars to the Insurance
Department for clerical assistance, com
ing up on second reading, Britain of
fered to amend by inserting sixteen hun
dred dollars
Mr. Drewry read a telegram from A.
w. McAllister, manager of three insur-
ance companies of Greensboro, strongly
approving the bill. stating that the in
| surance department had been of more
benefit to North Carolina than any other
institution, and any measure looking to
giving it more aid and encouragement
would prove a paying investment
He also read letter from Insurance
Commissioner Young, stating that with
the immense amount of clerical work of
the department. the present appropria-
ton of one thousand dollars was entirely
inadequate. Mr.. Drewry then stated, that
while he felt satisfied that sixteen hun
| dred dollars was not enough, yet in
Difference to the views of a large num-
| Der of members, he would accept the
amendment providing for sixteen hundred
dollars, instead of two thousand. Passed
| final reading as amended.

GRAHAM ON DEPOT BILL.

Judge Graham proceeded to discuss the
merits of the proposed bill to give the
Corporation Commission power to COM
pei the erection of Union depots. He
read from numerous authorities to show
that the law was constitutional. He
said the demand for this law was urgent,
and 1t was shame and disgrace that
the people of Durham had been made
to suffer so long.
General Davidson, of Buncombe, en-
CURED If the supporters of the bill had
enquired into the question as to whether
or not the act will not confer upon the
commission the right to lcgislate. He
was in favor of the object sought, if it
could be attained under the proposed law.
Judge Graham said this matter had
been carefully examined, and there could
be no question, that under the powers
conferred in the general act erecting the
Corporation Commission. the commission
would simply be performing a ministerial
act in exercising the powers delegated
to it by the Legislature.
Mr.. Morton again made an argument.

UNION DEPOT BILL.

The bill amending the Act of 1899. in
toducod by Mr.. Fuller. of Durham, so
that the Corporation Commission shall
be given power in it's discretion to COM
pei the building of union passenger de-
pots in towns or cities which two or
more railroads enter, was next taken up.
Mr.. Fuller defended it in a very able
and forcible manner, stating that the
imputaton that it was entirely of a
local nature was utterly at fault. 1t
asked for nothing but the stipulation of
certain power residing in the Corpora
ton Commission. Nothing in the bill
compels the commission to do anything.
1t is merely an appeal from the long suf-
fering people to have to some tribunal
before which they can appeal
AS an instance of disregard for the
convenience of the people on the part
of the railroads, Mr. Fuller told of the
terrible conditions existing at Durham
The constitutionality of the bill was
shown by Mr.. Fuller. who read from
many authorities to support his claim.
In opposing the bill, Mr.. Morton, of
New Hanover, said from the statements
made before the committee, he was con-
WINGED that the city of Durham was
sadly in need OF depot, and he posi-
lively hoped it would get one. The trouble
about the present bill was, that it pro-
posed to delegate to three men the
power to compel corporations to go into
partnership, and become joint owners of
property, with the power to compel them
to place buildings on land that might be
held at enormous values. Citing an in
stance in Massachusetts, he said the city
of Worcester needed a depot, and could
not get it. They went before the Legisla-
ture and obtained a law there in that
particular case, compelling six railroads
to build a Union Depot. and if the city
of Durham would present such meas
ure to this Legislature, he had no doubt
relief would be cheerfully granted. Il
for one" said he. 81 believe | would vote
for it, but l cannot vote for a general
law such as the one proposed, giving to
three men the powers contemplated.

Perfect Respiration.

For perfect respiration two things
are neceSsary-chest capacity and
breath control. The average individual,
woman especially, uses but q limited
portion of the lungs and upper chest
in ordinary breathing. Whenever q
little unusual physical effort makes de-
mand for M extra breathing capacity,
note how she puffs and pants, almost
to Il point of gasping. The reason for
this is that the muscles of the lower
chest, waist and abdomen have become
well nigh atrophied through neglect
and abuse. They are stiff and unre-
sDonsivc and have now TO be coaXed
back to condition Of activity and
obedience.
Ii is quite rs possible to educate
these muscles so that they shall re-
spOnd to our slightest demand as 1t Is
that our hands are trained to do our
bidding. Different teachers Will adVo-
cate different forms of breathinS-up-
Der chest, side chest, lower chest ana
abnormal breathing-but what we
most want is absolute control, such
control of the muscles as shall enable
us to make use of any desired form of
breathing 4: fle word of command, for
all forms have special values. Full up
per chest breathing is used most, but
lower chest and abdominal breathing
are very valuable in cases Of nervous
ness, indigestion, stomach and bowel
troubles.

lodge. Mr.. Will Founder of the I. Q.
dey was after
ward grand sire. being the CHER eA-
ecutive officer of the order throughout
the world. The order now has lodges
in nearly every part of the world, and
every state and territory in the United
States has grand lodges. Over 2,OOo,-
600 members have been initiated into
Odd Fellowship since it was organized
in America and over $90,0O0,OOO ex-
pended by tie order for relief Of the
sick, burial Of the dead and the edu-
cation of orphans.
The first successful effort to intro
duce American Odd Fellowship into
Europe was due to the jurisdiction Of
Oregon. \ special deputy was au-
thorized who formed the first lodge in
Stuttgart, in the kingdom Of Wurttem-
berg, on Dec. /, 1870. The following
year lodges were instituted in Berlin,
Prussia; Dresden, Saxony, and Zurich,
Switzerland.
The Independent Order Of Odd Eel
lows has become international in the
broadest sense, spreading across the
Atlantic into nearly every European
country and across the Pacific into
Australia and New Zealand, Hawaii
and the Philippines, and into Cuba and
Porto Rico.
The orphans home at Liberty, Mo-,
is reported to be in fourishing con-
dition. 1t has a school equally as good
as the public school. The building,
which is valued at 100000, is strictly
fireproof. The farm on which it stands
contains 240 acres Of fine land.
The success Of q lodge does not rest
solely with the officers. Every mem
Der should have an individual interest
and assist in some way. If but by con-
slant attendance at meetings.
The sovereign grand lodge will meet
in Baltimore in 1903.
The Arkansas Odd Fellows home IS
being improved, and $4,000 will be
spent on the building.
