Bare, who lived near the Wilkes
Ashe line, and his two mules, were
killed yesterday by sliding off the

tunate man and mules were found

into splinters. The deceased resided
at no great distance from the scene

A SALARY TRAP.

Members of the legislature say
they want to get all the State officers
on an equal salary basis. That sounds
alright from a distance, but when
the matter is examined into you will
find that the real object is to increase
the salaries of the several State Off
GERS.
The following comment on the
subject Is from the Industrial News
"The bill now pending in the leg
islature in regard to the salaries OF
State officials will, if passed, cost the
State an extra thirty thousand dol
lars a year. This information comes
from the News and Observer, ann
quote our authority for the benefi'
of anyone who may wish to say
that in making this statement We
are Juggling the figures ,"

Death Of the South Carolina Dispensary.

Death OF the South Carolina Dispensary.
After fifteen years experience, the
legislature of South Carolina has en-
acted law which kills the dispen.
sary. This institution at one time
had the support Of the Christian
people but 1t has since become a
source of notorious corruption and
disgraced the State. It was the pet
scheme of Senator Tillman-we do
not charge him with any part of the
corruption-and it remains to be
seen what effect, if any, its defeat
will have on the Senator's political
fortunes in the future.
The legislature has given the peo-
pie local option instead Of general
prohibition as some thought it
would be.

LAUGHINGHOUsE SCORES RAIL
ROAD COMMISSION.

Asks Reasons for Withdrawing the Suit
Against Southern - Railroad Officials
Have More Influence Than the People.
The feature in the lower House of
the Legislature Saturday was the
passage Of the clearinghouse reso-
luton calling on the corporation
commission for a statement of the
terms and reasons for the with
drawal of the suits for $4,000
against the Southern Railway Com
pany for breaking the Selma conuec-
ton prior to putting on the present
new trs in from Greensboro to Colds
boro for this connection.
The sensation centered in the fiery
speech of Mr.. Laughinghouse, who
declared that the commission had
not even required the Southern to
pay the expense of counsel for the
Senate in instituting the suit. and it
was question whether the State or
the Southern should lose this money.
"The thing shows that Col. An
drews and Henry Miller have more
influence with the commissioners
than the people of North Carolina,
and that they do exactly as they
wish. If the commission is to be
the representatives. of the railroads
and not the people, then in God, in
heavens name, let them be shifted
to the payroll of the railroads"
The resolution passed without fur.
Their discussion by vote of Al to ~
But on Monday the House adop-
ted resolution declaring that it had
entire confidence in the corporation
com mission.
1t was stated that after delibera-
ton over Saturdays work the demo

anything that would hurt the party.
