AN HONOR WE'LL DESERVED.

Nobody outside the Committee Oh
Code Revision knows the magnitude
of the work done by that committee
Night after night they have toiled,
going over every page and comparing
it with all the changes in the laws
for twenty years. 1t was a task for g
whole session of the General Assembly
if its members had had no other du-
ties to perform.
Those who know the value of the
labor Of Senator Zollicoffer. of Vance,
chairman of the committee. were
therefore gratified when the Senate
yesterday morning. after a happy
speech of appreciation by Senator
Webb. of Buncombe. passed a resolu-
ton of thanks to Mr.. Zollicoffer for
the able manner in which he has dis
charged the important duty entrusted
to him.
1t was as deserved a compliment as
the Senate ever paid to any man. No
man in the Senate has grown more
than Mr.. Zollicoffer AS chairman of
that committee and member of the
committee to settle the difficult South
Dakota bond matter and in many
other ways Mr.. Zollicoffer has served
his State in a way to deserve the
confidence and thanks of the whole
State as well.
The State is fortunate when men of
Mr.. Zollicoffer's ability. industry. hon
esty and fair mindedness represent it
in the highest legislative body.

TWO STATE CIRCUITS.

The House yesterday passed the bill
dividing the State into two circuits.
If that bill passes, Raleigh will be in
I'm the Eastern Circuit and Durham in
the Western Circuit.
The only argument for the bill is
that it promotes the convenience of
the judges and saves them some eX-
pense.
The strong argument against it is
that it destroys a State system. The
whole State elects these judicial Off
GERS and they ought for that reason
to hold courts in every county in the
State.

wadesboro Messenger and Inteligen-

Wadesboro Messenger and Intelligent
Ger.
One of the most righteous bills that
has been introduced in the Legislature
passed the House Saturday. The bill
was introduced by Representative
Alexander, of Mecklenburg, and pro-
vides that the State and county poll
tax shall not exceed three dolalrs, and
that town or city poll tax shall lnot be
in excess of one dollar. The aggregate
poll and road tax paid by citizens of
the town of Wadesboro for the last
two years has been from SO to SO. It
is nothing less than an outrage that
poor man should pay such a tax as
this. amounting in some instances,
probably, to one-twelfth of his total
income, and we hope the Senate will
speedily pass Mr.. Alexander's bill.

MIR. SPRUILL'S POSITION.

An incorrect impression has been
S. Spruill on temperance legislation
because of a recent article in a news
paper. Mr.. Spruili's criticism of the
Ward bill is that it does not forbid
the sale of whiskey. as we'll as its
manufacture in towns too small to
afford adequate police protection"
In the belief that the law ought to
have embraced the, selling and making.
Mr.. Spruills position is exactly in line
with that of The News and Observer.
1t sought to impress upon the leaders
responsible fer the Ward bill that the
sale of wfliskey ought to be forbidden
in little cross roads towns and to
that end urged the principles con-
tanned in the Lone bill. But when the
leaders of the temperance forces de-
cided upon the Ward bill as it passed,
this paper stood for it because it Of
fered a remedy for certain grave
evils, while not going as far as this
paper desired. In 1893 this paper
preferred the London bill to the Watts
bill, but supported the latter because
it was the best that legislative leaders
thought could be secured. This year
it preferred the Long bill to the Ward
bill but did not press its views when
legislative leaders thought the Ward
bill was the best that could be en-
acted. There is much virtue in the
Ward bill-very much. If it had
sale. such as Mr.. Spruill and The
News and Observer and others wished.
1t would have been a better measure.

Ground Peas for Hogs.
(Goldshoro Argus. }

We would like to urge our farmer
friends to plant ground peas for their
hogs. We do not pretend to be an ex-
pert farmer but on two acres in
ground peas last year, we raised some
very fine pigs, averaging nearly 100
pounds, dressed, at eight months old
These pigs were half stock, and had
but very little corn. We believe if
they had been full blood they would
have weighed nearly twice as much.

Santa Barbara's Daq.

Monday was observed by the Italians

year the members Of the two Italian so.
cieties, the Christoforo Columbo and
the Tirolese, assembled at their hall On
Lawrence street and headed by the
Central City band marched to the
Church Of the Assumption where mass
was celebrated. After mass Rev. Mr..
Teleson of the Sacred Heart college,
Denver, delivered an address on the
feast Of Santa Barbara. The gentleman
is a learned speaker and his remarks
were appreciated by the Italian audi.
ence.

changed her religion and became a

that time and on account OF her un-

condemned to death. Her father volun-

the day OF her execution she managed
to escape from the prison in which she
was incarcerated and while being pur-

She was afterwards captured and be

In Europe, in France, Germany and

MASSACHUSETTS AND TARIFF.

Governor William l.. Douglass, OF
Massachusetts. seems inclined to stir
up the animals in the tariff; cage. When
massachusetts had a practical monon.
OILY IN the manufacture Of shoes and Of
cotton goods and the tariff permitted
the Bay State captains of industry"
TO levy tribute upon the South and
west, the Democratic doctrine in re.
gard to the tariff was unpopular Since
then there has been 4 decided change.
and Senator Lodge during the last
Presidential campaign had a strenuous
time "squaring" his stand-pat policy
With his Massachusetts constituents.
therefore. it is not at all surprising
that the proposition Of Governor Doug
lass to investigate the tariff should be
received without particular protest, for
III his message to the Legislature he
makes strong case when he SAYS:
Because of her isolated condition as
10 materials and food supplies, Massa-
chusetts feels the burden of tariff
taxes more than most other States.
Against these taxes she is now Wig.
orously protesting. The situation in
Massachusetts is also peculiar because
OF her great extent of sea coast and
her numerous harbors. making it
cheaper to bring in imported goods
than 1t is to transport them from the
Central and Western States. Natural
~. then. she would draw on Canada
ana other foreign countries for many
OF her materials and supplies"
In other words, the South is becom-
ing an effective competitor of Massa-
chusetts in the manufacture of cotton.
The South and West are beginning to
make their own shoes. and the old
Bay State Immediately discovers her
splendid isolation" and wants 10
adopt policy which she persistently
has fought against as applied to other
States. All OF which shows that Gen.
eral Hancock was not far wrong when
he declared that the tariff was LARGELY
local issue. 1t would be a rcmarka-
bic reversiOn OF conditions il the South
should veer to protection and New
England should take a stand for free
trade.
