A Good-Natured Man.

Lord Brassey's recent speech a Hast
ings, in which he recalled the days Of
his youth, reminded a correspondent Of
an amusing story which is told of his
early days. Lord Brassey is. as every
body knows, one of the most good
natured Of men He was much ad-
dicted to giving things away or lend
ing them. and some friends once made
a bet that they would get an offer Of
the hat from his head They did, and
something more. for, after he had in
sisted on lending one Of them his hat, a
practical joker said solemnly:
What am I going to do for hair?'
Take mine" came the automatic re-
joinder.-M. A p.

Senator Ranke's bill providing that
both capital and surplus shall be con-
sidered in the qualifications of banks
as public repositories. Under the pres
ent law only the capital is taken into
constellation. Senator Moore held that
the old banks with large surplus would
be given the advantage over the young
er institutions which did not have large
surplus. Senator Stotsenburg also OBJ
jected to the bill, saying that it would
be possible for any board OF bank d.
rectors to wipe out the surplus of their
institution. The bill was passed, how
ever, by the vote of 81 to 8.

Representative Seidensticker wants
the house to know just what there is in
the proposal to pass over Governor
Hanly's veto the bill Ito increase the
salaries of the members of the Indian
apolis city council, and for that reason
he introduced in the house yesterday
a resolution calling on the attorney
general for an opinion in regard to It.
This bill was introduced in the senate
two years ago by Senator Hugg, of
Marion county, and passed both houses
of the legislature, the provision being
that the salaries of the city council
men should be raised from 5000 to 5000
year Governor Hanly vetoed the
bill and the senate has passed the bill
over his veto. The bill is now before
the house for passage over the veto.

day county option elections are to be

FLORIDA FOR PROHIBITION.

State after State is getting in line
to preserve he ives and h morals
OF its people by driving from its
borders the liquor traffic, and after a
hard struggle in Florida the Ques-
tion OF prohibition is to be submitted
to the people.
The question in Florida is TO be
submitted as an to n
State Constitution. SO that ii prohlbi-
ton carries it will be fixed to stay fix
eG, and there will be no more efforts
TO suuirm and Wriggle about changes
in the law. and the agitation Of the
question as a political matter Will be
removed.
This movement in the South con-
tinues to spread and grow. for the
people are seeing as never before the
evils Of strong drink. That prohibition
will carry in Florida IS hardly to be
doubted. Having gon to the extreme
South the question now turns back to
the North for action, and the people
of North Carolina, who are cursed by
the Whiskev traffic from Virginia., are
looking to that State to redeem itself
from the clutches Of the NhlSkey devil
and stand forth as another State re-
deemed. another State that Will put
the morals and the lives of its men
and women hoy the allurement OF
the dollars.

LET Us LIVE AT HOME.

There can be no gainSaying the fact
that the South has paid out millions
of dollars each year because It kept
grain houses also. 1t has made q
fetish out Of cotton. and in place OF
diversifying it has relied on the one
crop to give it the money to send to
other sections.
This section OF the country can
never grow to the richness and pros
perity that is rightfully its due, as
long as it keeps in the rut OF the one
crop. It's farmers will continue to
face disaster Just as long as they for
get that there are other things to be
raised besides cotton. They cannot
escape the results even il they put
their heads in the sand and refuse to
look at what is going on about them.
There is a great drain upon North
Carolina in the money it sends out
to other sections for the things it
could easily raise at home. In place
of being q buyer in the markets for
these things it should be a seller. We

the ruts and go to work on the plan
Of diversified crops. That is to be
