Raleigh, Feb. 10. = Various and
sundry bills have been offered this
legislature providing for the extern
sion OF corporate limits Of towns and
cities, but Representative T. d. Bry-
son, Jr., of Swain county, doesn't do
things that way. He has a simpler
plan of taking care Of the situation
back homeland not hurting himself
in the process.
On February 8, Mr.. Bryson, intro
duced a bill, which became House
Bill No. 263, entitled "an act relat-
ing to the jurisdiction, as a court, of
the mayor of Bryson City, North
Carolina" The bill went to a Judi
CARY committee, was reported favor
ably came back and passed the
House on Feb. 13.- It went over to
the Senate, the committee on courts
and judicial districts gave it a good
report, and it came up for passage
Friday, the 18th. Objection was rails
ed to its second reading and the bill
went over until later.
That was little unusual and call
ed for investigation. The investiga-
ton disclosed several interesting
facts. The first section of the bill
reads "that the jurisdiction of the
mayor of Bryson City as court, be,
and the same is, hereby extended to
include the entire county of Swain"
That's all. Still there isn't anything
unusual. But
Representative Bryson, whose leg
islative name is ct. D., Jr.," but back
home is called ''Thad," is not only
the introducer of the bill but he is
the mayor of Bryson City whose
jurisdiction is SO greatly extended!
That's why some of the folks back
home got the wires busy asking that
the bill not be passed too hastily in
the Senate.
Raleigh and Wilmington, both of
which are having some travail pains
in enlargement proceedings, might

Roses Planted Now Escape Stem
Canker

Many gardeners in North Carolina
prefer to plant their roses during the
fall months. This is a good practice
in Western North Carolina.
But rose plant set in the fall in
Eastern North Carolina is subject to
the attack of stem canker, which may
cause considerable damage, advises
]. G.. Weaver, State College horticul-
turist. If the plant is set during Feb
ruary and early March it starts grow
tn before the stem canker causes
much injury, he explained.
Weaver gives some general advice
on growing roses: Before planting,
all rose plants should be gone over
with a pair of pruning shears. Re-
move all weak growth from the tops
and leave only the large vigorous
canes. These should be cut back to
a length of six to eight inches above
the place where the plant was bud
ded. From the roots cut all bruised,
broken, split, or injured sections.
Before planting, the soil should
have liberal application of manure
and bone meal, worked into the beds
to depth of IL to Is inches. In
planting, dig the hole large enough
to accommodate, the roots without
champing. Usually hole 18 inches
in diameter and eight to ten inches
deep is sufficient.
Place the plant in the hole so that
the bud union will be slightly below
the surface of the ground after the
planting operation is complete.
Spread the roots naturally and firm
some soil we'll around them Water
this Immediately to settle the soil
around the roots, then mound soil up
around the plants to protect the
stems from the drying March winds.

Agriculture

Raleigh, Feb. 18.-Despite- the
boast of hundred cotton mills in
one Of the 100 counties; notwith-
standing that within the State bord-
ers may be found the biggest towel
mill, the biggest denim mill, the
biggest hosiery mill, the biggest Gig
arctic factory in the world, North
Carolina remains pre-eminently an
agricultural state.
II you don't believe it, ask the
legislature. Often regarded as sort
OF perfunctiOnary assignments, the
places on the agricultural commit
tees this session have occasioned
more work than any others except
the money groups. For nearly two
weeks the House committee held
daily meetings trying to work out
an acceptable pure seed law. Ever
since that issue was disposed of by
the House committee, it has been
before the Senate group, and is still
penang there after two or three
sessions for its consideration.
Inc real cause Of worry and work.
however, is the issue of duplication
OF activities between State College
1890 WIN CCc &c |COdI LIIl6IlJ Oh AQrl-
culture. Full committees of both
branches have held three or four
meetings on this one point, and a
Subcommittee Of six senators and
eight representative have met at
least a dozen times to hear COM
plants, suggestions, and requests:
and after all of that the problem is
apparently not much nearer solved
than 1t was at the start.
Committees dealing with manu-
featuring, banking, commerce and
other activities meet for a few min
utes and adjourn. The agricultural
committee meets for hours at a
time and takes a recess. The states
position in textile manufacture is
near the top in the union; increased
sales tax yield indicates better mer-
chantile business and millions of
dollars worth Of furniture and other
articles manufactured in the State
are shipped out each. None of these
industries have caused any prolong-
ed discussions. Farming and farm
ers have caused lot. This is still an
agricultural state.

Health for January, 1899, which was

the corresponding month in 1888, ac-
cording to figures compiled by DR..
Il. L. Simpson, Director of the Di-
vision Of Vital Statistics There also
was decline of 80 in the number of
pneumonia deaths for the month, the
January, 1889, total being 315, as
compared with 404 a year ago.
Preventable accidents were respon

.Solons Least
Hurt Oppose
Labor Bills
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Feb. ia bit of rather
Slick parliamentary maneuvering has
! kept alive chances that there NAV
be successful reSuScitation of the bill
-! giving Labor Department regula-
tons the effect of law and provid-
ing penalties for breaches of these
, rules; but in order for Commission
er Forest Shuford and his legislative
friends to win there must be a COM
plete reversal of front on the part
OF country representatives-the peo-
pie least affected by the bill.
A cursory analysis of the 70 to
81 vote by which the measure lost
Thursday is enough to sustain this
statement. The rural representatives
went almost solidly against the bill,
while if it had been left to the coun-
ties in which the Labor Department
does practically all its work, the
measure would have passed with fly
ing colors.
AS the matter stands, it is obvious
that advocates of the measure must
change almost twenty legislative
minds in order to get what they
want That's slim chance, but it
took shrewd management to get even
that.
When the bill was beaten so badly
Thursday, nobody thought to apply
the clincher by moving to reconsider
and to lay that motion on the table
AN omission which left an opening
for a reconsideration motion Fri
day under the rules. Crafty, Gregg
Cherry waited until just before adj
iournment for the day, then induced
Frank Taylor, of Wayne, to make the
reconsideration motion, with notice
that he will call it up next Thurs
day. Mr.. Taylor, as the rules require,
bill on the previous day. After the
Taylor notice, the House adjourned
almost Immediately, thus giving adj
vocates of the bill a chance to do
some missionary work over the
weekend.
Getting back to the characteristics
of the vote by which the bill lost, it
is striking fact that of the 81 mem
berS voting for passage, no more
than dozen can by any stretch of
imagination be classed as from rural
counties.
On the other hand, it was equally
striking that from the plural voting
counties Chose large enough to have
more than one representative the
bill had clear majority, and when
this is sub-divided into. rural and
urban vote, the measure was favored
by more than two to one.
Taking these plural voting coun-
ties, the vote was like this: Solidly
for the bill were the Wake and Gull
ford delegations of three members
each and the two members from
Rockingham. Two of three Forsyth
representatives voted "aye" while
the third was absent. Mecklenburg,
dittoed this record. Buncombe, Pitt
and Johnston split one to one; while
from Rowan and CASTOR one vote
faye" and one was absent.
On the other side Of the fence the
pairs from Robson, Nash, New
Hanover, Durham and Wayne were
solidly against the bill, while the
lone Halifaxer present also voted
mo-" the other being absent.
That made II ayes and Is noes
from these 16 counties, leaving the
vote from the other and smaller units
20 for and 81 against; and the 20
not more than inc can be classed as
from rural counties.

Question: How long after legume
is grown is the soil good for inoculat-
ing purposes?
Answer: Not more than three
years should have elapsed since the
legume was produced and prior to
this it should have been grown for
at least two years on the field. In
collecting the soil, remove the top
inch or two and then take the re-
manning soil to depth Of not more
than eight inches. If the sun is

MT. Clements Speaks To Class In Home Hygiene and Care
 of The Sick

MT. E. F. Clements, member of the Territorial Department of Health, who arrived in Nome. Thursday, spoke that evening to the Class in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick which is being conducted by Mrs. Ida Sprenger, Nome Public Health Nurse.
 MT. Clements told of the work of the Division of Public Health Engineering. This department is handled by Mir. K. w. Nasi, Public Health Engineer, and and MT. E. F. Clements, Sanit- arian. The work consists of the enforcement of sanitary rules and regulations governing the protection of food, milk and wa ter and rendering assistance to municipalities in their problems of sewage disposal, garbage dis posal and general sanitation.
 MT. Clements cited the recent epldemics of diphtheria in Jun eau as an example of the pro- cedure of the department of health. There were seven cases of the disease with one death. The sources of the epidemic was traced to a carrier of the disease who was immediately isolated & treated. All of the school child ren and many adults were inn munized and as a result the epi- demlc was suppressed whereas had there not been any health de partment it is difficult to estimate the proportion to which the nor tality and morbidity might have mounted.
 MT. Clements also mentioned that water samples have been regularly received from the pri-
