Ladies and Children Invited.

All ladies and children who cannot

syrups, cathartics, etc., are invited to
try the famous Little Early Risers.
They are different from all other pills.
They do, not purge the system. Even
a double dose will not grippe, weaken
or sicken; many people call them the
Easy Pill. W. H. Howell, Houston,
Tex, says nothing better can be used
for constipation, sick headache, etc.

Provisions of the Watts

The dispensary bill of the town of
Toisnot, by which the people there pro-
posed to vote on the dispensary question
was settled yesterday.
This is the bill for which Senator
Woodland asked Senatorial courtesy in
getting it through the Senate with
amendments to let the township decide
and not the town. The town people did
not want what Senator Woodland gave
and have been making a vigorous fight
on his amendments.
Representative Croker, of Wilson
county was with the town people and a
meeting of the House Committee on
Propositions and Grievances was held
yesterday. In favor Of the township vote
there were speeches by Messrs. S. A.

of Toisnot. Against the township vote
spoke Messrs. r. N. Simms, of Raleigh.
and J. w. Hayes, of Elm City.
The bill had been sent to the House for
concurrence in the Senate amndment.
but the vote was against this vistory
for the people Of the town.
This having been secured the advocates
of vote by the town say that they will
ask to have the bill killed. 1--WE get a

presumed to be fair and adequate. These
rates are lower than the Interstate
rates in virginia or South Carolina AMI
Possibly Tennessee. and It is, therefore,
unfair and unjust for the Interstate
rates 10 be so much to the prejudice of
North Carolina.
The railroads give as an excuse for
the inequality, the fact that they have
to compete. but it IS a competition that
don't compete. The railroads will fight
like cats and dogs over building Union
depot. but when it comes to freight rates
they get together and charge the same.
The people can and will find a way to
protect themselves, even through the
Federal Constitution may for time be
a stumbling block in their way.
Mr.. H. w. Miller, of the Southern
Railroad, was present and said the rail-
roads, he was sure, were not opposed to
the resolution, and on the contrary would
probably favor it, but that the salary was
too small to secure the services of a good
man in that branch of work that freight
experts were high priced men.
Mr.. Field, replying, said that the sal
airy was small. but that the State was
not in the habit of paying high salaries
as the railroads are; that the State col
lected only about two millions in revenue.
while it is alleged that those discrimi-
mating against North Carolina collected
each year about four millions of dollars
more than they should. and therefore,
could pay larger salaries than the State;
that the salary named was sufficient to
get a good man capable of getting at the
bottom of the trouble
