HELD ON THIRD READING.

Reference was made last week to
the fact that Representative Daniel,
of Vance, had introduced a bill max
ing it a misdemeanor for persons to
pick blackberries on the lands OF
another without the permission OF
owner The Raleigh Post of yester-
day says this:
About two weeks ago Mr.. Daniel, OF
Vance, introduced a bill to prevent
hunting and gathering of fruit on
lands in Vance county without writ
ten consent OF the owner. The bill
was plastered up with amendments
and laid on tho table The objection
able feature was that it made it Il
misdemeanOr to gather blackberries,
sumac, or anything of value. Yes
terday Mr.. Daniel decided to try his
luck again and introduced another
bill with different provisions in regard
to blackberries, etc, prohibiting the
gathering thereof for sale. 1t passed
second reading and its third reading
was objected to by Mr.. Britain, Of
Randolph.
We have not seen the bill but it
appears that it's object primarily is
to protect growing crops rather than
prohibit the picking of blackberries
or gathering of sumac, digging o.
roots. etc

TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION.


Progressive Farmer.
The Watts Bill was favOrably. re-
ported by the House Committee, but
the Anti-Saloon League asserts We
hemently that this is a makeshift,
thatit does not go far enough. When
it comes up for passage, strenuous
efforts will be made to amend it in at
least two particulars: o. SO as to
prohibit the sale of liquor in towns of
less than 900; (2) so as to stop the
JUG trade in prohibition counties.
The Senate Committee on PROPOSE
tiOns and Grievances met Saturday
and referred the whole matter to a
sub committee, composed OF Sena-
tors Vann, Warren and Brown, who
will report special Senate bill to-
morrow.
The GastOnia Gazette voices what
seems to be the general sentiment in
these words: ''The Democratic party
has the power to bring into existence
in a day a Prohibition Party in
| North Carolina that will be able to
overthrow any political organization
that opposes it, and it would be the
part OF wisdom not to call the moral
forces OF the State into independent
political action. When you can't
beat n good man in a good cause
it's mighty good politics to 90 with
| him.

HANNA'S BID FOR THE PRESl-
DENCY.

Senator Hanna evidently intends
to run Roosevelt Il race for the Presi-
dency. He has played Il trump card
to catch the negro delegates from
the South by introducing Il bill to
pension all former slaves. His bill
makes the following specific provis-
ions:
Any former slave under the age of
fifty years shall receive a pension at
the rate of 81 a month until he shall
reach the age of fifty years.
Any ex-slave who shall have reach
ed the age of fifty years shall receive
a cash sum of 800 and pension of
So per month until he shall reach the
age of sixty years.
Any eX-slave who shall have reach
ed the age of sixty years shall receive
IL cash sum of $500 and IL pension at
the rate of SD month until he shall
reach the age of seventy years.
Any eX-slaye who shall have reach
ed the age of seventy years shall re-
ceive cash sum of $500 and a pen
sion during the remainder of his life
of 50 month.
Another section provides that Il
similar provision shall be made for
anyone on whom an eX-slave is de
pendent.
The bill, if passed, would add S123,-
600, 900 i'll 1904 to the pension roll,
it is said.
Another 10 acres and mule
proposition which will amount to
nothing but delusion and disappoint
ment for the negroes.

THE LIQUOR BILLS.
Statesville Landmark.

Statesvllle Landmark.
The bills to regulate or prohibit
the liquor traffic continue to occupy
much of the attention of the Legisla-
ture. The Watts bill has been favor
ably reported, as heretofore stated.
by the House committee and made a
special order for Thursday. The
Smith bill, a strict prohibition meas
ure, but one which leaves the matter
to Il vote of the people, has been re-
ported to the House without preiu-
dice. The straighout prohibitionists
say the Watts bill does not meet the
requirements at ALL They want the
London bill, a summary OF which the
Landmark has printed. But it has
been clearly shown that the London
bill cannot pass in its present shape.
An attempt was madeto get it favor
adj Y reported by the Senate commit
tee last week but on a tie vote it was
referred to a subcommittee.
Representative Walter Murphy, of
Rowan, last week introduced Il bill
which embodies many features of
the Watts and London bills but in
less drastic form. 1t provides that
counties or localities may have sa-
looms, dispensaries or prohibition by
IL vote OF the people, and the matter
of combining distilleries to incOrpor-
ated towns is also to he decided by a
vote. The bill levies a tax on distil-
leries according to capacity and it is
estimated that this tax will provide
considerable revenue.
Writing from Raleigh to the Char
lotte Observer, Mr. H. h. c. Bryant
says the intemperate zeal of the ITEM
perance zealots," who have been de
handing and making threats, have
caused a reaction, and it is probable
that a modified measure will pass
The SimmOns-AycOck-Watts bill
which he says is ''primarily politica
and incidentally moral" with modi
ticatiOns, or some bill like it, may be
| adopted.

WOULD LESSEN Critic.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger
If some one of the members of the
Legislature who seem to be so anx-
ious to make changes in our State
Constitution would propose an
amendment restoring the whipping
post for certain offenses the desire
could be gratified. We believe an
amendment to this effect would be
carried by Il tremendous majority on
the popular vote on its adoption
The re-establishment of the whipping
post would lessen crime and greatly
reduce the expenses of the State and
counties. Except for the gravest
crimes there should be but three
modes of punishment-fines, the road
gang and the whipping post.

Raleigh Post 9Th.
When the statement was made a
few days ago that a number of cot
ton mill men intended to fight any
and all bills regarding child-labor
and hours of labor there was denial
in some quarters. Tuesdays hearing
before the committee proved the
truth OF the statement. The bill is
being vehemently fought, just as in
past years. Both the Senate and
House committees met Jointly this
afternoon, Messrs. Durham and
Scott being the chairmen. Three
bills were before the committee, those
OF Parker, of Wayne, Durham and
Dockery Parker's bill was more
discussed than the others and in the
course of the discussion Moses Cone,
OF New York, said Parker had never
| been in Il cotton mill and did not
| know what he was talking about.
Parker said he would show Cone he
did know. The hearing was mainly
given up to talks by persons from a
distance DR.. J. H. McAden, of Char.
lotte, declared that he saw no neces.
sity for legislation and wanted full
hearing of the matter before the
committee. J. NJ. Odell, of Concord,
declared that in 10 years experience
he had never seen a child abused in a
cotton mill, and that factory children
were better off than others; that he
knew some who had gone into fac,
tories at the age of ten years who
are now superintendent. A. A.
Thompson, of Raleigh, spoke in op-
position to any legislation. D. Y.
Cooper, OF Henderson. opposed the
bill. He declared that night labor
was no more exhausting than day
labor, though be paid it % per cent.
more. j. A. Murchison, of Fayette-
vile, said~there was no abuse of chill
dren in the mills there, and Senator
Lamb supported this statement.
Representative Dockery said his bill
was along the lines of legislation sug.
gestedin Governor Aycock's message
to the Legislature.

Sad Accident Occurs on E%astbound
Burlington Train.
A distressing and peculiarly sad &C.
cident occurred this morning on the
Burlington train from the west.
When the train was a short distance
the other side of Laurel, Mrs. James
Boyd of Emporia Kan, attempted to
heat some water for the purpose OF
making a cup of coffee, using an alcO-
hol lamp. The joltlng of the train
the lamp to upset and before
it could be prevented the burning fluid
ran over the seat and burned in a
frightful manner the infant daughter
of the woman. The child's arms and
body we're burned SO badly that the
skin peeled off and it is believed that
some of the flames were inhaled, as
the little one gave every evidence OF
having sustained internal injuries. In
her frantic efforts to say her baby
Mrs. Boyd was badly burned about
the hands and arms.
Fortunately it happened that a doc
tor was on board the train and he did
all he could in the way OF affording
temporary relief to the two victims OF
the accident. When the train arrived
here the doctor obtained some ban
dages and the necessary remedies to
dress the wounds.
Fear was expressed that he child
would not live until it's home could
be reached.
