THE LAWS THEY MADE.
General Assembly Not Quite MP TO the
Number Two Years Ago.

The General Assembly which has
just ended has had a multiplicity of
bills on which to act, but not quite
so many as at the session of 1903.
OF the great number of bills intro
duced 1,265 are now laws and SO reso-
lutions were enacted; total of ,301.
OF these made into laws the House
had on it's calendar 2,012, the Senate
1851, this showing that many were
defeated, put on the table or failed to
be acted upon. Two years ago the
Senate considered 1,716 bills, the
House 2,032 bills.
In the Senate the number of bills
on the calendar numbered 1851. sof
these $50 being Senate bills and reso-
lutions. OF these 395 became laws.
and 20 were withdrawn Twelve bills
failed to pass second reading, 162
were tabled, SO died in committees,
and eleven bills and resolutions were
held on the calendar by request of
Senators. none of these being of more
than local interest.
The first bill introduced in the Sem
ate was by Mr.. Eller, of Forsyth, the
last by Mr.. Duls, OF Mecklenburg.
Senator Webb, of Buncombe. leads
the list with 10 bills introduced. Sem
ator Ward of Craven, a short way
behind with SO, Senator Scales, Of
Guilford, SO, Senator Sinclair, of Cum
berland, 80, Senator Eller, of Forsyth
81, Senator Toms, of Henderson, 80.
Senator Empie, of New Hanover 26,
Senator Foushee, of Durham, IS. Sem

others ranged from 5 to 20 each.

who does things is more easily eX-
cused for doing them badly than is
the man who hesitates in carefal pre-
vision and who fails to act in time.
He who leads a brave and blunder-
ing charge. is a hero He who plans
a mastery retreat is counted little
better than a coward, though his tao
tics save a great army from destruc-
ton.
Mr.. Roosevelt acts bravely, impu.-
sively, incautiouslv-bu ne acts. He
is applauded; and before the applause
has died away and the audience has
had opportunity to consider the con-
sequences of the action. presto! he
acts again. No one has time to reflect
upon the excellence of the perform
ance or the comparative skill OF the
performer. A dazzling succession OF
seemingly daring feats lull the lacui-
ties of moral discrimination to sleep
while the blood is thrilled with the
delightful stimulus always to De had
from novelty and change.
We cheer and cheer again. Ihe
performer comes to the fore, and re-
teives our bouquets, ribbons ana med
als-anything that suits his transient
taste and gratifies his momentary
fancy. But this is not affection. sun
less is it confidence. 1t is SIMPLY
confession Of the ease with which we
can be provided with entertainment.
Times are good. Money is plenty.
Prices are high and not yet so nigh
that our purses have gotten empty.
Cakes and ale are on the table ana
there are more where they came
from. Let us eat drink and be merry,
and go to the vaudeville every AFTER
noon and evening of the season.

At the flag of the session the Legis-
lature of North Carolina has fallen in
line and made a conditional appropria
ton OF $50, 900 for the jamestown En-
position.
This is in line with the progressive
movement that has been noticeable in
North Carolina iii the past decade. 1t
is not too much to say that no South
ern State has made more rapid prog
regs than our Tarheel neighbor and this
is due in a large measure to the fact
that new generation Of young and

A Reporters "Emeka"
(By the Associated Press. }

Washington, March 7.-When Pres
ident Roosevelt was inaugurated on
Saturday his lips touched a passage in
the Bible peculiarly in keeping with
his character as a man of action. The
passage is found in the Epistle of st.
James, first chapter, 22nr, 23rd and
oath verses:
p, But be We doors of the Word, and
not hearers only, deceiving your own
selves.
%, For if any be a nearer of the
Word and not a doer he is like unto
a man beholding his natural face in a
glass.
"A, For he beholdefh himself and
goeth his way, and straightway forget
teth what manner Of man he was.

We have small understanding OF the
importance of the issue if the passage
of the anti divorce law in North caro-
lima is not the most vital measure
that has become law in that State ~
many years. What was known as tne
McNinch bill was adopted, repeating
ali added causes for divorce which
have been tackled on to the North
Carolina Code since 1888 and leav-
ing none save the Biblical cause opef>

Carolina has been letting down the di-
vorce bars, one by one, until, like Cali
ifornia and the Dakotas, il was be-
coming the stamping ground OF per-
sons seeking quick relief from the ties
OF matrimony. The action of the press
ent Legislature ends all this. 1t is &

are to be preserved. We tender sim
