SPRINGS A SURPRISE.
Senator Graham Introduces an En-
tireIy New Railway PaSSen-
ger Rate Bill.

Raleigh, N. c., Feb. 26.-Major Ora
a surprise by introducing an entirely
new passenger rate bill, providing a
two and a half cents flat rate on all
roads of more than 100 miles in length,
the shorter lines to be regulated as to
rates by the Corporation Commission
He asked that the bill go to the Judi
eiary Committee and be reported back
to the Senate in time to be a special
order for Thursday. Strenuous ebjec-
ton was made to this r~eferencerby sew
eral Senator's, and it was finally re-
ferred to the regular Senate railroad
chairman. 1t vas charged that the bill
would Tend to block railway rate legis-
lation at this session, but later Senator
Graham said hat he had no such in
tention in introducing the bill, and re-
quested by way Of suggestion that the
new measure go to the conference COM
mittee. The bill will be reported later
from the regular committee on rail-
roads of the Senate.
The Senate discussed at some length
the House bill known as the ''Bickett
Lobby Bill" and finally defeated it
by a vote of % to 10. There was also
a lengthy discussion of the bill to pre-
vent the sale of merchandise stocks
in bulk, which is the measure urged
by the Merchants Association of the
State. This bill passed it's readings
and was sent to the House for final
concurrence in two or three minor
amendments.
Governor Glenn sent a message to
the Assembly urging an appropriation
of $3.50, 900 for a building on the pres
ent site of the Agricultural building.
After the message had been read the
announcement was made that the joint
committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds had agreed on a bill appro-
priating $4,000 a year for two years
for the erection of a Supreme Court
wing to to the east end Of the capitol.
This bill is to be introduced in the
next few days.
This Senate passed the Odell bill to
limit the poll tax q city or town may
charge to 50.

BRIDGE mad
What the Imported Game OF Whist
is Doing to Americans.

Broadway Magazine.
We are bridge mad! We live it amp
eat it. We sleep, talk and worship
nothing but bridge. Our dinners are
shortened that we may hasten to bridge.
We play it in town and country, in the
it in season for excitement, and out of
season for recreation. We even carry
it into the sanitailums where worn out
nerves cry 'enough,'' and play it on
our pillows. It would almost seem
that in course of time a fashionable
funeral will not be complete unless
bridge tables are set out during the
ceremony.
Is bridge immoral?
Yes, and again, yes!
81 knew how many possible
criminals there were on my visiting
list until bridge whist came into fash
ion," says one of our New York wits,
and truly the transformation made in
the modern drawing room by the ap-
pearance of magic bridge tables is
enough to justify this cynicism.
Bridge originated in Turkey, was de-.
veloped at Vienna, and was first played
in it's modern form at the Carleton club,
, London. 1t o displaced baccarat in
I English clubs and country houses,
{ thence crossed the ocean, and here in

LIQUOR,
Imbibed Moderately, Is Usually B enc
fical To Most Men, Say Emf
nent British Authorities.

London, March 30.-Deep Indignation
reigns in temperance circles because of
communication in the Lancet, one of
the foremost journals OF the medica
world. which approves the use of
alcoholic liquors for adults generally.
1t is signed by Is physicians of high
reputation, including Sir 7. Mccall
Anderson Sir William H. Bennett and
Sir James Cichton- Browne.
Editorially the Lancet said: This
statement deserves careful considera-
ton on account of the Importance of
the question involved both from a
medical and social view point.
After considering the medical aspect
of the use of liquor the statement of
the doctors read:
las an article Of diet we hold that
the moderate use of alcoholic bever-
ages is for adults usually beneficial.
We depiore the evils arising from the
abuse of alcohol, hut there is nothing,
however beneficial, which does not by
ecxess become injurious.

The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
is one of the clean, moral, high-class
newspapers OF the country. In its Sun
day issue of January 9th, the follow
ing editorial appeared:
WHERE THE MISTAKE Is.
Zone of the good women of Bourbon
county, kentucky-where all women
are good-writes to The Commercial
Tribune in this fashion: 'Ninety-four
Of the 1i9 counties OF Kentucky have
voted for local prohibition, with more
falling in line weekly. Bourbon
county's precincts have all voted for it
except Paris, the county seat. which
will make struggle for 1t in April.
1t IS customary to poke fun at old Bour-
Don, and your excellent paper has at
times taken hand in it. If you only
knew how good women are praying and
good men working for prohibition I am
sure you would say a good word for it.. ,
There Is tone of sincerity in that
communication that must bring sympa-
thy, but there is also a mistake. The
Commercial Tribune mas not poked fun
at old BOurbon-at least not at old
Bourbon county-and it must be admit
ted, even by PrOhibitionists, that the
other old Bourbon is the best of its
make, even though they insist that ali
makes OF liquor are bad. Nevertheless.
all experience has shown, and all ex-
perlence tOlbe gained in the..future will
show, that prohibition never has prohi-
bited the use of liquor for other than
purely'medicinal purposes and that pro-
addition never prohibits its use as 2
beverage.
OF what use is it to the precincts OF
Bourbon county that all but one have
voted for local prohibition? while THAI
one declines to align itself with local
prohibition the thirsty from prohibition
precincts will find pressing business
calling them TO the county seat-es-
peclally on county court day-and will

The strongest argument against the
adoption of local option is found in the
fact that it will tie the hands of the
present officials and make it difficult,
if not impossible for them to enforce
the law. While they are perfectly
willing to put forth their best efforts
to enforce any law, there is no reason
whv they should be asked to perform

RETURN OF THE PIGEON.

Stories of the return" of the pas
senger pigeon have been printed OF late
in many parts of the country and now
enjoy, we believe, the credence of com
petent ornithologists. A letter from
Minnesota records that 'Woodmen re-
port hundreds of them along the CIo-
Quet river, in st. Louis county, and
colonies have also appeared, it is said

perior Last spring a flock was seen
in Pressure Isle Park, at Marquette,
Mich, by the caretaker, who, when a
young man, had killed many of the
birds, and he recognized the species at
once" Why these interesting native
birds disappeared is easy enough 10
understand when one reads the &C
counts of the wholesale methods that
were used for their slaughter forty
and fifty years ago. No species ever
came nearer to complete extinction. But
we have not seen a gradual increase
in numbers during the years when
bird lovers have been wishing these

have seen nothing of all of them for
thirty years and now that they have
come, it is in the large flocks which
were characteristic in the old days
