ing of one county each, so that
the judges riding these districts
could, when not engaged with
their courts, hold special terms
and take the place Of the sick
judges. This rec mmendation
has met with very general ap-
prOval.
At caucus of the Democratic
members OF the Legislature hsld
Tuesday night it was decided TO
consider bill at this special ses-
sion giving the State absolute
prohibition, provided this msas
ure is ratified by popular vote at
the general election in Rovem Der
If this election is favorable such
a bill will be operative January
1, 1909. The mem bers of the Anti
Saloon League gathered in force
and tried to influence the legis-
lators to agree to pass an act put
ting Static prohibition into effect
at once, but without avail. In adis
cussion ofthe rate bill intheSenate
Senator N. A, Mclean held that
the Senate was not held down to
the proposition of accepting or
rejecting the terms Of the com.
promise offered; that it was call
ed together to amend, modify or
repeal the act of the last regular
session, and that it was net held
down by al agreement made by
anybody on the outside. In 4
discussion of additional legisla-
ton yesterday Senator Mclean
took the ground that there is q
doubt of the right Of the Legisla-
tare to consider matters other
than those fer which the session
was called. He urged the ref.
erence of . resolution that had
been introduced declaring that
bhe Senate do not at this extra
session consider any bills except
those bearing on the rate matter
and on State prohibition to the
Judiciary Committee with il.
8 ruction for an early reply.
Many local bills we're introduced
yesterday.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1903
WITH THE LEGISLATURE.

WITH THE LEGIsI.ATURE.
Pursuant to the call issued by
Governor Glenn for a special SEES
sionof the Legislature, the Senate
and House of Representatives
convened in the Capitol at Raleigh
Tuesday at II o'clock a. m. The
feature of the first session was
the reading of the Governors
message, which was an interest
ing document, rather longer than
expected. After stating that
the purpose for which the special
session was called was to consid-
er the question of an adjustment
of the passenger and freight
rates charged by the various
railroads doing business as com
mon carriers in the State. the
Governor rapidly reviewed the
rate controversy from the time
OF the last session of the Legisla-
ture up to the time of the offer
ing Of the terms which the rail
roads have agreed to accept.
These terms are as follows:
The changing OF tie fiat intrA-
State rate of 2 IA cents a mile,
toa fiat intra State rate
of 2 ! cent a mile; df-
teen cents to be charged extra
for persons boarding trains with
out tickets when tickets could be-
obtained, and the repeating of the
penalty and misdemeanor claus,
es of the act of 1907, this to lie
done only when the railroads
operating il the State agree to
a reduction Of the present inter
State rate of 3 and 3 / cents a
mile to a rate of 2 IL cents, thus
making interstate and intra-
State rates unifor M; also, the
railroads 10 issue a mileage book
of 1000 miles for heads of firms
and employees, not exceeding Eve
persons, names to be entered at
time of purchase, said books to
be interchangeable on al! solvent
roads and interstate and intra-
State at 2 cents a, mile; also, an
individual mileage book of 1000
miles, interchangeable, inter-
State and intra- State for 2 cents
q mile; also, a family mileage
book for heads of families and
dependent members of family,
names to be entered at time of
purchase, intra State, and not
interchangeable, for 2 cents a
mile; also, the railroads to pay an
amount not exceeding $4,000
with which to pay the States
costs in the various suits.
We hope the Legislature will
not touch the money the rail-
roads have agreed to pay. 1t is
difficult to see how it's acceptance
could be made to square with any
proper conception of the honor
and dignity Of the State. The
Governor recon nends the &C
ceptance of the agreement with
the railroads, not because he
thinks an injustice has been
done the roads, but because they
are in financial straits and the
State has shown them already
that they must obey the law. He
declared uneqdivocally and abso
lutcly for State prohibition by
immediate enactment, and de.
clsred that if the Legislature
passed such a law the act will
be- the wisest and best ever
passed by any Legislative body. A."
He further recommended the
establishment Of two small addi-
,ional judicial districts, consist

Joseph Vyborny, aged 70 years,
a highly respected pioneer died
at his hame near Tabor of senility
last Thursday at III o'clock a. m.
The remains were inferred in the
Catholic cemetery in town, in the
presence of a large number OF re-
latives and friends of the de-
ceased.
Joseph Vyborny was born in
Bohemia in 1920 and came 10 A

home the first two years in the
state of Iowa. In 1877 he had
Joined the immigrants into this
state and had taken up a home

After five years of farming he en-
gagged in the saloon business in
Tabor, conducting same for ele-
ven years. Following this he
made his home in Tyndall. Seven
years ago he retired from active
business and made his home with
his son Joseph, near Tabor.
He leaves a wife, four daugh-
ters: Mrs. Jos. Teible, Mrs. Louis

TIE ALUMINIUM INDUSTRY.

emand for Useful Metal Far Ex-
ceeds the supply.
A London correspondent writes inter
Stingly upon the extensive growth o
lie aluminium industry. He says:
"All the works engaged in the indus.
ry are now producing to the extreme
INIT of their capacity, while enlarge
nents and extensions are being
llanned by most Of the controlling com
.anies. Aluminium, in sympathy with
upper, tin, zinc and lead, has shared
n the greatly increased demand, and
he enormous rise In the price of cop
per and tin has no doubt served to
widen the field of application Of the
rival metal. The growth of the motor
car industry, In which aluminium is
now being extensi ely employed, has
also helped to increase the consump-
ton of the white metal. The present
annual output of the metal Is between
1900 and 10000 tons, but, as all the
manufacturing firms decline to publish
any figures of their production, no very
exact estimate Of the aggregate pro-
duction is possible. All that can be
stated with certainty Is that the de-
mand In England, France and the Unit
ed States exceeds the supply. AS re-
CARDS utilization, the limitations of
aluminium are now recognized and I'M
derstood, and the metal Is being en-
ployed to an increasing extent In the
arts and industries for work which
does not demand great mechanical
strength in the metal employed. For
covering In the machinery and moving
parts Of motor cars 1t Is well adapted
on account of its lightness, and for this
purpose, and also for the interior and
exterior panellng of electric railway
cars, it Is being used to an increasing
extent. In the metallurgical indus
tries the impure metal Is finding EN-
ployment for clearing molten iron and
steel from oxides before casting and
for reducing what is known as 'segre-
CATION in steel ingots. The applica-
ton of the metal for household and
culinary vessels, as we'll as for small
ornaments and toilet articles, has long
been known. In America ffty-six in
stallations of the metal for electric
power transmission purposes can be
found, some Of these being in connec-
ton with schemes of considerable mag
nitude and Importance. This applica.
ton of the metal has not been followed !
up In Europe, where doubts exist in
the minds Of engineers as to it's suit
ability for outside work involving long.
