careful soil survey and most Of the
pamphlet is devoted TO this and &c a
description of the various soils found
with mechanical analyses" of the dif-
ferent soils. A number Of pages are
devoted to truck growing-a descrip-

manner of ~cultivating them. The

tents is a large soil map OF the county.

public roads and waterways il shows
by different colors the location OF all

of soil or soils it contains. He can then
easily ascertain what crops will Lest

is most suitable to make that class of
soil produce the best results in The
kinds of crops cultivated. This pam
ph1et is valuable TO truckers and To
parties intending to take up farming or
trucking in the county.

ing the exhibits for Jamestown. There
will De about four carloads, Curator
Brimley of the state museum says, and
the first one will be ready to leave this
week. The woods have been packed
and now the minerals will be selected

attractive and in some respects novel.
The legislature passed today the bill
allowing the agricultural department.
and the state to receive any funds ap~
propriated for agricultural education
or for like purposes.
The session of the legislature did
not end until almost l o'clock Sunday
morning. The galleries were crowded
with people, a great many ladies
among them until the very last. The
house session was quite a stormy one.
One of the bills which passed today
allows a vote of the people on bends
for building the Bladen and Northern
railway.
The senate adopted resolutions OF
thanks this morning to its very able
presiding officer, Lieutenant Governor
Francis D. Winston, for his courtesy

which he had presided. 1t also thanked
Senator Brown who so many days
opened the sessions both of the senate
and house with prayer.

Mask Of the False Life" is the head
ing of q communication published in
Sundays Charlotte Observer, which we
reproduce in another column of today's
Messenger. 1t is on the subject Of men
of moderate means trying to live with
III their incomes; what difficulties they
encounter; what are the consequences
of failure, and how they should be 9s-
sisted by their fellow men. The letter
is worthy of careful reading.

When this legislature first met the
public was told that it was a superior
body. If that be true, then God save

along. There were many good men in
the body but they were generally snow

WILMINGTON, N. c.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY Is. 1901


The house Of representatives at las
rebelIed against Speaker Justices boss,
ing and voted against his demands
It is a pity it did not 10 so earlier IN
the session. Mr.. Justice went too far
when he undertook to crack the party
whip over the heads of such members
as Messrs. DOugbtOn and Manning and
to read them a lecture for not voting
in accordance with his wishes.
We suppose by time our next paper
reaches it's readers the Legislature of
1897 will be a thing of the past, and
NAV we never see another like it will
be the prayer of a large majority Of
the people of the state.
BY the time the next Legislature con
venes we look to see some important
changes in the democratic party. There
will have been another general election
in the state and also for president
ana COIlSI CSSIICh. 1hNIS I'D oN@hS
to be a fractional fight in the
state democratic party, not only
for control of the party organization
and nomination of candidates for the
legislature and state offices, but the
question of election of two United
States senators will be involved-tnat
of successor to Mr.. Overman whose
successor will be chosen by the next
legislature, and as to who shall sue
ceed MI. Simmons, whose second term
begun this month, will expire only a
few months after that of the man
elected as governor to succeed Govern
or Glenn.
Unless there is great change of public
sentiment in the next eighteen months
it will be almost an impossibility TO
defeat MIR. Overman. The high stand
he has taken in the senate on such
shert service, coupled with his indie
fatigable exertions in behalf Of his
state in all matters wherein her well
fare is concerned, have given him 4
strong hold on our people. The fact
that he has served only one term will
strengthen his cause-an election TO a
second term as an endorsement Of his
course in the first.
Mr.. Simmons case is not so strong.
1t cannot be denied that he has more
opposition in his own party than his
colleague, and when his present term
expires he will have had twelve Years
of service in the senate-just about
the time to make a mar a useful and
influential senator, even n with SEN
atOr Simmons natural ability, energy
and pride in his states progress-b,;t
long enough, many people think, for
one man to hold Office. This will work
against him. If the faction which
wishes to down him succeeds in nomi-
lld'ihS It's cdhuludIe 1o So'elNol' -
will be pretty apt to defeat his election
to a third term. Already, it is said,
the combination is being perfected Tor
control of the party during the next
campaign for the purpose of defeating
Mr.. Simmons six years hence as Well
as for control of the state offices in the !
meantime. This combination will be
bitterly fought by Mr.. Simmons
