IMPORTANT LEGISLATION NOW
In GOOD SHAPE FOR ENACTMENT.
Bills Emerging From Committee

(By q. r. Barrows.l

Raleigh, Feb 6. The record of the
General Assembly is 5 jill clear-so far
as actual enactment of State-wide
measure is concerned.
There have been about 1900 bills in
PRODUCED in both houses. The esti-
mated cost of the legislature to date
is something e $4,000. Therefore
the average cos OF Introducing a bill
into the Assembly is about $50. 1t
probably costs $40 to get a measure
enacted into law-on an average.
The present drift of sentiment in
both Senate and House is to settle the
liquor question right here. At one
time there was an undeniable sentf-
ment fayoring the passage of the bill,
leaving it's ratification to the people.
This sentiment has changed, due in a
great measure to the activities Of the

Career of the "Apostle of JOY"
Mr.. BOYER is Harrisburg man by
birth, but spent many years in Lon
don, England, where he had a similar joy
giving career and came to be the recog-
nized friend of 10000 children and 400
cripples. And before he left he started
permanent work by organizing the Drift
Children's Mission, with a chorus made
up of crippled singers.
1t would be impossible to summarize
in figures the work of this wonderful Joy
apostle; but his activity may be judged
by the fact that in one season he took
200 children on local merry -go-round,
and trundled 5000 on his tricycle. or on
some vehicle attached to it.

The money to buy it was raised by
popular subscription.
Although Mr.. Boyer is the recognized
if unofficial smile-maker of the COM
munity, all of his work is not done in this
public manner. One of his several enter
prises is the Home Invalids' Union, all the
members of which are invalids and shut
ms. Several times a week, if not daily,
the members are visited by MIR. Boyer or
one of his helpers, and an hour more or
less is given over to reading, singing, or a
rehearsal of the worlds events for the
benefit of those who can not follow the
papers. Sometimes the member visited
is taken out in wheel chair.
This is an old plan of MIR. Boyer's.
He has always had fondness for toting
folks about. Some years ago man
came to him and said: "See here, Boyer,
