There are many good farmers in
Wake who make good crops. The
Apex News of this week tells of what
two progressive men in that section
have done in the last year. Mr.. Zeb.
Maynard is not a farmer except as a
side line, and here is what he did. IN
his spare time from business:
He planted two and one-haf acres
of tobacco, for which he received a
clear check for 1910, and one-half
acre in cotton upon which he made
one bale of cotton. He also made d
garden, and has killed one nine months
old Berkshire pig which weighed 2S5
pounds net. He has one other very
young pig which he will kill in March.
and which promises TO net him 1856
pounds.
Now here is what man did who is
a sure-enough farmer, deVoting ali his
time to farm work:
THE past year with one horse he
made $500 pounds of tobacco which
brought him a 500 clear check, an
average of Is 1-2 cents for his entire
crop. In addition to this he made
IS barrels of corn. $50 bushels of pea
nuts and so bushels of potatoes, be-
sides raising a splendid garden.
THE one-horse farm couldn't hold
such a man as this, so he made $50
blowing for his neighbors. The to-
bacco was made on four and three
quarter acres of land

HOUSE MAKING LAWS.
Col. Cuninsham's Bill to Erect Monu-
mcnt TO Late Gen. Matt. W.
Ransom.

There were four infallible evil
dences in the proceedings OF the
House yesterday that members were
getting down to business. First.
Leaves of absence budded out in all
the verdure of spring and tiuttered
over the Speakers chair, something
like they are said TO have fallen in
for distant Valambrosa
Second the old familiar bill TO au-
thoriZe some Western county to levy
q special tax. moved nimbly TO the
front.
Third. In all its majestic local
grandeur sprang full panoplied to the
gaze of an admiring universe, sol
emn "be it enacted that somebody else
in a township somewhere in North
Carolina should be formed and ere
ated and have the breadth of q Justice
of the Peace in his nostrils.
Fourth. large increase in the
number of bills introduced showed
that members have not been lying
awake at night for nothing, and have
become thoroughly inoculated with
the baccil of legislative diligence
and perspircuity.
An important event OF the session
was the announcement of sufficient
committees to start the machinery of
regular legislations so that by Mon
dav at least, reports from committees
on bills introduced can give members
something to do after the expiration
of the morning hour.
AS it was, ona bill intended to bring
about a reform in the manner and
method Of presentation and introduc-
ton Of bills. and to economize in
time, money and vexation, was re-
ported unfavorably and not only Kill
ed but was nailed UP in its coffin by
the remorseless motion to reconsider
and the laying of that motion on the
table. Senator Webb may grleve
over this slaughter of his first born
Of the session of 1905, but will be so
laced no doubt by having several
others left.
Two other bills became full fledged
laws. and the people of Granville,
Caswell and Montgomery counties
can henceforth elect their County
Commissioners without the advice
consent or conivance Of their Justices
OF the Peace as such; and complain
ing jurors of Pitt County, will here
after breathe a prayer of gratitude to
Senator Fleming and Representatives
Little and Laughinghouse for seeing
to it that they will get two whole
dollars for a days service and milegae

WIPE OUT THE STIGMA.

There is no duty with reference to
any change in the statute law of the
State so important as the repeal ri
those laws that have let down the bars
and made divorce easy. Since 1882
six separate acts have been passed
by the Legislature adding TO the
causes for which divorces can be
granted. Most of them were granted
to meet some specific case ana in SO
far as they were enacted for that
purpose they violated the spirit of the
Constitution of the State.
Mr.. Stewart, of Harnett, has intro
duced bill repeating all the acts that
have passed since The Code and re-
storing the law to the exact terms o.
the provisions in force in 1888. That
law does not measure up to the prop
er attitude of a Christian State. but
it is SO much better than the present
lax laws that there ought to be no OPP
position to its passage.
The multitude of divorce cases
that crowd our courts constitute a
stigma upon the Commonwealth. The
best sentiment of the State would be
disappointed if this Legislature shodld
fail to wipe out the new laws res!,on-
sible for the invitation to men aid
women to violate their sac"et vo"s.

SHOULDN'T BE PERMITTED TC
DODGE THE INCOME TAN.

The Corporation Commission acted
wisely when it ruled that all public
officials should pay the income tax
that is paid by private individuals in
receipt of like salary. But judicial
Interpretation has so far permitted
public officials to escape this common
burden which all salary men should
bear. AS touching upon this question,
the Statesville Landmark truly says
Right at the beginning of the ses-
sion an effort is being made to get a
bill through the Legislature increas-
ing the salaries of the Governor and
the Supreme and Superior court
judges. The Landmark doesn't be-
lieve in niggardliness with public off,
cials but the Legislature had better
go a trifle slow in the matter of in
creasing salaries. The salaries may
be too low, but there are always
plenty of people after the places and
men of ability sufficient to discharge
the duties, too. But if salaries are
to be raised we hope a provision will
in some way be Incorporated that will
require all these officials to pay taxes
on their incomes. In fact all of them
who have done so ought to be ashamed
of themselves for evading the payment
of this tax. and the people ought here
after to refuse to elect any of them
to office unless they do pay the tax.
Right, No man should be given a
public income who escapes paying the
quired to pay If the Legislature can
make the present law any stronger ii
should do so,
