NJ. Stedman and E. j. Justice, assisted HIM
from the beginning that the law passed
by the last Legislature was unconstltu-
tlonal because it not only created
monopoly, but it required an impossible
thing; that law which required man
who never used medicine to pass an ex-
animation before a medical board on ma
terra Medica. or who did not employ sur
gerry to pass an examination on surgery
and anatomy, would not stand the test
OF the courts. And so it turned out
A members of the last Legislature, and
also member of the Judiciary Commit
tee, in speaking of the law today gave
an interesting inside history that has an
important bearing on the case He said
that the constitutionality of the bill was
seriously questioned by several members
of the committee. That the doctors were
inslstent on its passage; that on the Com
mittee on Public Health were physicians
and that the bill was considered before them
that the suggestion that it be referred to
the Committee on the Judiciary was pre-
sented; that the only interests fighting the
bill were the Christian Scientists: that
they put up such a stiff fight compromise
was patched up. whereby the Christian
Scientists should be let in, and this agree
ment removing opposition, the bill was
passed. without further ado or investiga
ton as to its constitutionality, and this
amid the confusion of the closing hours of
the session.
Biggs and his school does not use medi-
cine or prayer, simply giving massage
and physical culture treatment.
The regular physicians very naturally
resent the caustic comments in the Su-
preme court decision. One of them today,
however, openly declared that the fatal
point in the law for the claim made by
DR.. Lewis and the medical board of pass
ing the law to protect the public from
irresponsible practitioners, was the alb
solving Christian Scientists from the ex-
animation test. To illustrate. he said that
Biggs could absolutely have avoided in
dictment by mixing prayer with his
kneading of the muscles, and he could but
respect him Ior not resorting to this
subterfuGe.
Some of the doctors seem more wrought
up over Biggs since the decision than be-
fore, many of them, openly said that
they did not approve of the prosecution.
Now they seem inclined to lambast and
advertise him.
Biggs in the mean time is at the same old
stand, saving wood and attending to his
patients.

HEARING ON TUESDAY,

We were not advertent to the fact yes
terday that the Corporation Commission
had fixed next Tuesday. January 18th. as
the time for a hearing 20 m Southern and
Atlantic Coast Line officials upon the
Selma connection. 1t is gratifying to
know that this hearing is to be had so
soon. 1t is to be hoped that these two
roads will virtually agree upon a schedule
that will restore the Selma connection
a connection of great Importance to a
large section of Eastern North Carolina
which they have enjoyed many years.
The only just criticism on the Commits
sion is that it permitted the connection to
be broken pending the time required for
investigation and consideration. If the
Southern Railway wished to break this
connection, it should have been notified
that it could not be permitted until the
Commission had taken the necessary time
to confer with railroad officials and ascer-
tain the just needs of the travelling public.
That schedule has been in existence so
long and is so essential to- comfortable
travel that to break it has worked great
inconvenience and expense to the travelling
public. -

Nervous People,
SOMETHING YOU OUGHT TO KNOW

''No nerves and never irritable" This
is what our well known druggist, the
w. H. King Drug Co., say people report
after taking Vinol. ut is remarkable"

KILLING THE GOOSE THAT LAID
THE GOLDEN EGG.

Richmond News-Leader.
The tobacco trust has begun to kill
out the goose that lays the golden egg,
or rather the geese that raise tie gol-
den leaf. South Carolina newspapers say
that farmers in the tobacco-growing sec
ton of that State have determined to
abandon tobacco entirely and contne their
attention to cotton. This determination
IS caused partly by the high price and
fine prospects Tor cotton, but an addi-
tional reason is that farmers Ieel that
they have been plundered by the tobacco
trust and absolutely held UP and made 10
sell their product at absurdly low prices
because of absence of competition in
buying. Therefore, they will turn their
attention elsewhere and leave the to-
bacco trust to find its raw material where
it can. If this movement becomes gen
eral the tobacco buyers may find that
their own rapacity has brought its pun
ishment, because tobacco Will be SO
scarce that it must be dear.

Views and Interviews.

Representative E. C. Williams. who rep
resented his county with ability in the
last General Assembly, was in Raleigh
Yesterday on business. Monroe Is cas-
lly one of the best of the larger towns
of the State" he said. Its growth is
steady, solid, substantial. The past year
has been the most prosperous in its ex-
istence and 1904 opens well. Redwine Is
Stack are building a modern. handsome
brick office building, the Baptists will
soon begin to make improvements to their
church that will cost $1,000. and there is
much other building in contemplation. A
right remarkable thing happened IN Mon
roe last week. Rev. j. G. Rowe. the new
Methodist pastor. announced that the
81 900 debt on the church ought to be paid,
and he raised the money at one service.
One man. Mr.. Heath, president OF the
Monroe cotton factory, gave $4,000 OF the
amount. 1t isn't often that church debt
is paid off so quickly and easily as that.
1t is magnificent church, too, one OF
the finest in the State. When the Bap-
lists finish the enlargement and improve
ments on their church, no town in the
State will have better churches than Mon
roe Our schools are already as good as
any"
Are our farmers prosperous? / believe
that the condition of the Union county
farmers is better than ever before in the
history of the county. Our farmers are
intelligent, thrifty and industrious. Most
of them own farms of fair size, work
themselves, and are in good shape. In
1902 they made a record breaking cotton
crop: The cotton crop in 1903 was not
so large, but it was much larger than
was expected at one time. 1t is not one
quarter short of last year, and the high
er prices have given the farmers much
more than they expected for it, While
much cotton has been sold, there is con-
siderable cotton left in the hands of the
farmers of our county who will get the
benefit of the higher prices.
AS to politics. Mr.. Williams says that
Union is almost solidly Democratic and
will remain true. He says that all the
candidates for Governor have friends in
Union, but it is too soon to predict how
the vote will stand in the State Conven-
ton.

eradicate the foot and mouth diseases

Mr.. Burleson (Texas), explained that
the bill simply diverted money hereto
fore appropriated for another purpose
and did not make a new appropriation.
He urged the Importance of the passage
of the bill to the cotton growing sec
lions, giving the history of boil weevil
and what it has done.
Mr.. Gillette (Mass.) called attention to
another insect-the gypsy moth-which
mad been brought to New England, and
which he said was equally dangerous and
should receive attention with a view to its
determination.
Mr.. Robinson (Ark) spoke for the bill.
Mr.. Slayden (Texas), in urging its pas
sage. said he hoped the bill would not
be jeopardized by amendments.
Mr.. ardner (Mich), said he believed it
would be establishing d bad precedent to
pass the bill.
Mr.. Gillette (Mass) offered an amend
ment for an additional appropriation of
$3.50. 900 for the eradication of the Egyp-
tian moth.
The Speaker sustained point of order
against the amendment and the bill was
passed without division. 1t provides that
the sum made available may be expended
by the Secretary of Agriculture in such
manner as he shall deem best, in CO.
operation with State experiment stations,
and practical cotton growers if the Secre-
tary of Agriculture shall deem it adj
visable to meet the emergency caused by
the ravages of the cotton boil weevil
and other insects affecting cotton.

southern part of the quadrangle and
has a population of about 600 A few
miles west of Silver City is the town
of De Lamar, and a small place. Dewey,
is located about halfway between them.
The main road from Nampa to Silver
City traverses the quadrangle and
crosses Snake river at Walters ferry. A
railroad connects Nampa with a small
settlement on Snake river called
Guffey. 1t is the intention to extend
this road to Silver City.
The principal industry of the district
