A TOKEN OF ESTEEM
Lieut.. Gov. Winston Pre-
sented With Handsome
Silver Service.

In the Senate yesterday there was
a moment in the midst of the weary
business that was as refreshing as
an oasis in the desert: the presenta-
ton to Lieutenant Governor Winston
by the Senate of a magnificent sterl-
ing silver service of the Eighteenth
Century English design, on MuIcn Wa
engraved, Presented to Francis
Daniel Winston, Lieutenant Cover
nor, Session 1905, from his as
sociates." Mr.. Scales, of Guilford.
introduced Mr.. Mason, of Northamp-
ton, the most venerable member OF
the Senate, and Mr.. Mason made the
presentation speech. He said in part:
Mr.. President we owe much to
you for the uniform courtesy, .kindz
ness and consideration to us, and
your exemplary example has eXerted
an influence that has been all for
good, and that has prompted the ut
most gentleness in debate that has
marked this session. Only spontan-
eous praise in your behalf has been
uttered from the lips of the Senators,
for the manly ease and grace, and
able manner in which you have
executed the duties of your office. We
cannot part from you without eX-
pressing our esteem and affection for
you, and thank you for your frank
acts of kindnes and recognition.
Il have been asked by your friends
and associates to present to you this
beautiful piece of silver, as token
of our hearty esteem and grateful
affection, and we ask you to take it
to your home as a reminder of the
high estimation in which you are
held by tbs body"
President Winston, in response,
said:
Senators, / am deeply touched by
the fiattering language of my good
friend, who conveys to me this evil
dence of your confidence and esteem.
"A legislative experience in both
branches of the General Assembly
reaching back twenty years, discloses
no more patriotic Senate than this
over which 1 have had the honor to
preside. That the business of this
body has progressed with decency and
in order, is due largely to your own
sense of duty, and observance of the
rules which you have enacted for your
own guidance
''I accept this beautiful gift, but l
assure you it is not needed to remind
me of my pleasant intercourse with
you, but it will call to mind. that
this has been a North Carolina GEN
eral Assembly. The General Assem-
blies in some states have met, and
the press teens with reports of in
Vesugauon of misconduct of members, !
and wholesale charges of corruption
are common, but, this General Assem-
bly, has not furnished a single instance
of official corruption, or personal mn |
fitness for the duties incident thereto.
The clerical force of this body is per-
feet; nor delay has occurred and not
a bill has been misplaced or lost. |
cannot better EXPRESS nv high aDDra-
citation of your gift than by stating
that it will be placed in-a home where
every member of this body will be a
most welcome visitor, should chance |
bring you to the good county of Ber-
tie. In the language Of Dickens, |
Crippled Tiny Tim, permit me to say, |
GOD bless us one and ALL"

Dudley, N. c., March A negro
complained to Mayor Bowden about .
O'Clock tonight that a crowd of drunk
en- white men would not allow him
and his wife to pass G. L. O'Berry' s
house. 1t seems that the crowd got
drunk at said O'Berry's house.
Mayor Bowden went to the place of
disturbance, where he found one, Bob
Benton, staggering and falling in the
street. He tried to get Benton to be-
have himself and go home. Benton
drew his knife and attempted to quar-
rel with the mayor. While this was
going on Benton's brother Major came
up, and without speaking, began fir
ing on Mayor Bowden. The Mayor
returned the fire and also knocked
Bob Benton down with the butt of his
pistol.
More of the drunken crowd were
coming up, however, and the mayor
had to run to save his life. Major
Benton got one ball in the body, Mayor
Bowden received a flesh wound in

State Insurance.

To the Editor: The time for the
Legislature to'adjourn is near at hand.
Many good laws have been enacted.
Arrangements have been made to use
al 1.-The money that is likely to come
into the State Treasury for the next
two years. Is it not then time to adj
journ? No! Money is flowing by the
millions from our State into foreign
insurance companies. The stream
should be turned into our own State
Treasury. This done and the treasury
would soon be full. Compared to the
saving it would be to our people, the
cost even of an etra session of the
Legislature to provide for the State to
insure the lives and property of the
people would be as a drop in a bucket.
If nothing else can be done at this
time, joint committee should be APP
pointed to devise a plan and report
such laws as may be necessary to en-
able the State to insure it's people
wherever insurance is desired. There
is no greater drain upon us than in
surance, yet we are thoroughly we'd
ded to it. Hundreds and thousands of
skilled agents have taught our people
for more than a generation that in
surance is the greatest possible BOOM
Now let the State come to the relief
of the people and insure them for as
small consideration as possible
