The rubbish would all be burned

many boat houses along the lake
shore, "spick and span" in their
spotless appearance. Old fences
would be covered with vines, and in
many instances completely hidden
by plants and shrubs.
Diamond Point would be cleaned
and made pretty place where tired

WHAT IT IS
TO BE DRUNK
The Distance Between "SOber
As a Judge and Drunk
Aa a Lord
A Question That Nay Be Rather
"Dfy" In a Prohibition Town,
But Interesting Never
theleSS.

An authoritative definition of what
constitutes drunkenness has long
been needed, and the want is now sup
piled by Judge Hart, of Nashville, who
is hearing testimony in the Carmack
murder case. On the question Of the
fitness of juror who llabitually uses
intoxicants Judge. Hart ruled that "a
man is drunk when he is SO much un-
der the influence of liquor that he
becomes a nuisance to the general
public"
An old view Of drunkenness which
has had wide acceptance was that a
man is not drunk SO long as he can lie
down without holding on. A British
justice has recently held that man
cannot be regarded as drunk if he can
ind his way home alone. These pre-
cedents are now further amp1if1ed,
though the Nashville decision is SUBJ
ject to appeal and review by the high
er courts.
1t is Obvious that between the ex-
tremes of drunk as lord" and $50
ber as a judge" a wide latitude OF in
|dulgence in stimulants is allowable.
The question Of capacity also enters
into the case, as between Poe, for
whom one glass was too much, and
Pitt and Dundas, who divided seven
bottles of port between them in an
evening. But it is made clear that
any amount of tacking and filing in
getting home and any number of stabs
at the keyhole are permissible, the
one restriction being as to interfering
with the public peace.
The Nashville decision is against
yoisterous intoxication, the won't
% home TIL morning kind-the con-
Iition of noisy inebriation described
ds "gloriously drunk" 1t is in favor
of a state Of gentlemanly exuberance
which does not interfere with the en-
.oyment or comfort Of other persons

RECOMMENDS Nine
GRADES OF COTTON
Cotton CldSSifierS Make Report To
Secretary OF Agriculture For
Uniform Standard.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 4.-Recom-
mending that the standard of the diff
ferent grades of cotton, as fixed by
fication of the government, the COM
mittee of expert cotton classifiers
designated by the Secretary of Agri-
culture to assist him in establishing
such standard, have made their re-
port to the latter.
The committee has made up types
representatives of the nine different
grades to be designated middling fair
strict good middling, good middling
strict middling, middling, strict low
middling. low middling, strict good
ordinary and good ordinary to be the
official standards.
The recommendation is made tha!
in view of the confusion that might
arise in case the standards were pro
mulgated at once, they should not GO
into effect until September 1, 1910.
It also is recommended that efforts
should be made to secure the cooper
alton of foreign exchange in connec-
ton with the standards. The further
recommendation is made that Con-
gress enact legislation penalizing any
one tampering with the standards
which are to be kept locked up at tie
Department of Agriculture.
The belief was expressed that as
the result of an examination of the
Standards of this and foreign coun-
tries, the least confusion would arise
to the cotton business of the country
by adopting a classification of cotton
that were acceptible to all foreign
consumers but owing to the action of
Congress the committee found it nee
essary to confine itself to stated
names which are in use in this coun-
try.
The standards finally recommend
ed for adoption are those that are
used in practically everyday business
throughout the greater part of the
cotton belt and are the standards in
commercial practice. 1t was the ex-
press wish of the committee that the
government should at all times main
tain the strictest supervision of the
preparation of the standards, and
that the standards prepared should be
safeguarded in every way by legisla-
ton to prevent their being handled
or tampered with.

Senate Passed Drainage Bill
And Refuses to Penal
ize Drunkenness.
DO|NCS OF LEGISLATURE
Emple Bird Bill Gees To HOuSe.
Passed VIII Prevent Sale In
State For Two Years.

By an unanimous vote the Senate
yesterday passed the Latham bill t.
provide drainage for the wet, swamp
or overflow lands of North Carolina,
tue bill affecting principally the east
ern counties. Primarily agricultural
in its purpose, the bill is also design
ed to promote the public health by
leveeing, ditching and draining of
sucn lands and by establishing levee
or drainage districts for the purpose
of changing or enlarging any natural
water course and for digging bitches
or canals for securing better drain
age or providing better outlets for
drainage, for building levees or en-
bankments and installing tide gates
or pumping plants for the reclama-
ton of overfiowed lands, and prescrib-
ing a method for so doing. The bill
provides for the assessment and col
lection of the cost and expense and
issuing and selling bonds, and for tho
care and maintenance of these i'm
provements when constructed.
The Senate passed on it's final read
ing the Empire bill to prohibit the
selling of quail, grouse anu mountain
pheasant within the State of North
Carolina for a period of two years,
an act to protect the prince ef game
birds, having the support of the North
Carolina Audubon Society. An amend
ment to the bill provides that no per-
son shall kill more than fifteen quail
in one day, and that possession of
more than that number shall be prima
facie evidence Of the person having
them having violated this act.
The Senate voted down a bill by
Mr.. Gay, of Northampton, to punish
public drunkenness, imposing a fine
of not less than two nor more than
ten dollars on every person who shall
be drunk on the public roads or at
public gatherings in North Carolina.
Faith in the corrective effects of the
prohibition law was expressed, and
there was a feeling that such law
should not now be enacted when for
years there were open bar-rooms and
dispensaries III the State and no gen.
eral law Of the kind existed then.
Among the important bills Intro
duced were those by Underwood of
Cumberland, to prevent monopolies,
trusts and combinations, which is di-
rected at the Southeastern Tariff As
sociation, and has been introduced
every session for the past eight years
Other bills of general importance
introduced, were by DR.. Cox, Of Pitt
requiring registration of deaths in al
towns of 1000 population or more
by Mr.. Murphy, of Guilford, providing
for the establishment of a reforma
tory for colored youth, by the Agri
cultural Committee providing for th'
erection of a new building, and by Mr.
Dowd, of Mecklenburg to amend tn
law of 1907, relating to the officer
and employees of State institutions
