Feb. 7tli.
As previously announced, the
Senate killed the Marriage Li
cense and Birth Registry bill.
This hill was killed by a majority
t)f ONE, the President of the
Senate casting the deciding rote,
that vote being 15 to 14 which
showed 12 Senators not voting
or not present when the roll was
called.
The absence of these 12 Sens
tors is significant of the fact that
ihey were either derelict ia their
?duties, or, that they had more
(to them) important duties else
whore. If the first, or the latter ,
they are not the proper per
sons to represent their severs!
counties in the General Assets
bly.
We considered the bill men*
tioued as one of the gravest im
port a nee to the people of the
State in our day, and of untold
generations to follow us. There
?was no possibility of harm re
sulting from the passage of the
bill, and its enactment would
have resulted in the reasonable
surety that our children and our
children's children could point
to documentary evidence of the
legality or legitimacy of their
birth aud parentage.
We note again the passage of a
bill appropriating $50,000, for
the establishment of high schools
in the various counties. This bill
is almost rot too, as a rider was
put on which makes the law in
operative unless a high school
is established in a municipality
containing less than 1,000 in
habitants.
lly consulting the files of our
local papers (we have forgotten
which) of about, a dosen years
back, you will ascertain the fact
that we advocated the establish
ment of a township high school
for graduates from the common
schools, scholarships from which
were to be awarded for admis
sion to a county t o idemies. Such
pupils as were graduated from
these county acadeuoys would of
necessity be prepared to enter
any college without having to
waste valuable time and money
in preparatory studies, as is now
the case.
It' we remember correctly, we
also advocated the giving of
scholarships from tbese acade
mies to certain named oolleges
and universities within the state.
The plan we then proposed is,
we believe the true plan
We have again theRucker bill
which provided for the refund*
ing of fares to passengers when
trains were more than an hour
late in arriving on schedule time,
barring accidents. This bill was
quietly continued , which means
killed, as it is the hardest thing
in the world to resurrect a con
tinued bill.
This bill was a good bill, and
should havo passed. If a rail- 1
road makes a schedule, and can
make the pnnts one time in the
lime scheduled, then, barring
. accidents, it can make the same
'
point every day in the same
time. If a schedule is mude
t hat cannot be lived up to thin
that schedule should be changed
and another promulgated that
can be run.
The public generally has been
seriously' inconvenienced by the
non-arrival and departure of
trains on schedule time and we
think that the Rucker bill would
have filled the bill.

The 10 hour Labor BUI passed
t ho House today. It provides
for GO hours i>er week of labor
for all cotton, woolen and lum
ber mill operatives, but does not
embrace iu its provisions, me
chanics, engineers, firemen nor
those engaged In several other
avocations of life. We oonslder
the bill a good one as far as it

OOOD ROADS.
We thank our friend, "8ub
(?cnber" for hia oontribation on
Uk" l*>???e
to adding the following com
meota, together with a little
oew matter.
Our position on the question
* good roads is well known.
As a candidate for the Legisla
ture last year, we rang thel
change# tn approval of rood
road* until we were as hoarse
???fog born. Our Idea in the
premise* was the use of convict
abor as far as practicable, and
the contract system entirely. In
our judgment, this is the only
p an that will bring eventual
?od permanent results. Free
abor need not be brought into
contact with convict labor, uor
would we have it so. We would
nave the present $2 commuta
tion tax taken off entirely, and
the persons liable to it, be by law
required to labor for a certain
amount per diem so many davs
during the year. Failing to per
form this service, he must I
furnish an able bodied substi
lute, failure in both cases to be
punished by a fine in the amount
Ins several days of labor would
aggregate, and a failure to
pay this fine to be followed by
imprisonment for the said nutn
m ?f **** Wlth 00818 added.
This plan will undoubtedly
add to the tax rate, but the cost I
the tax payer will ,n the
course of years, be amply re
paid.
We don't care what plan isl
adopted to attain the desired re
*ult, but we do want good roads I
"y the adoption of some plan,
a?a'b?l quickly. The issuance
of bonds, is attractive on the
face of it, but our people have a
?urfeit of bonds, and we hardly
think that plan would be adopt
ed, although it is the proper
way out. Tne only trouble with
that mode of procedure, is the
,* 01 tba ,uods realized
from these bonds getting into
the wrong hands, and the inonev
being frittered away in abortive
attempts at work by incompetent
contractors.
Governor Signs Bills.

first batch of bills. He will have

FARMERS VXIOI1
It there Is om feature tbore
another that deeervee to be no*
tioed here to mark the piogret
eive and growing spirit of the
Farmers* Union, it is that bar
mony was sought and -prevailed
above every other effort put
forth at the recent national as
sembly of the Farmers* Union at;
Atlanta.
As is well known, above all 1
other besetting evils, rivalry, j
peevish and small differences of I
opinions have retarded progress
in organising farmers more than
other troubles. But at the At
lanta meeting the one word union
seemed to be written in large
letters at the top and at the
head of every resolution audi
proposition placed before this!
meeting. But few if any pro
gressive farmers practice or ap
prove of the eight hour law on ,
their farms, but in order to keep)
the uuion in harmonious like or
der these opponents of this law
allowed this eight hour labor
resolution to go through as a
real sacrifice for peace and good
will towards all.
Is cotton made out of niggers
and mules? If so and these two
prime factors in the production
of cotton cost more than double
what they did when the south
busted on five cent cotton how
can the "all cotton farmer*' now
keep back an explosion in his
affairs and sell his cotton for ten
ceuts or less? * j
If merchant and supply men
that are now at \t making con
tracts with cotton farmers would
make it a part of the written
agreement for their customers
to grow their own food supplies
at home, this would go a long
way towards removing the con
ditions in the south tnat dumps
the cotton upon the early market
to the injary of the whole south.
This would enforce diversified
farming.
As Told Over the Telephone.
The story of a balking mule
named "Magnolia," driven
an old negro numed "Abe, and
owned by a wholesale feed house.
One day Magnolia balked on
Broad street and refused to be
driven again. After old Abe
had spent bis energies on Mag
nolia for an hour in the vain en
deavor to get him to start, he
went into a store to telephone
his employers. The following
is what a party of gentlemen
near the telephone heard:
"Please, marm gimme num*i
ber two hundred an* 'leven. Is ;
dat you, Marse Henry? Yessir,
dis Abe. I dun riog yer up sir,
ter tell you about Magnolia, i
Magnolia, he dun balk down yer ;
on Broad street, sir."
??
"'Bout a hour, sir.*'
?i ?? I
"Yessir, I bus' him in de head." |
it ??
"I dun wear de whip handle
out on him, sir."
?? *?
"Yessir, I kick him in de belly
'bout eight times, sir."
i? ??
"Marse Henry, I would ha'
kick um some mo' but I bu't me
big toe ou um de las' time I kick
um."
ft
"Twis* he tail? No, sir, not|
dis nigger. A gemman from;
New York, he twis' he tail."
?? ?? i
"No, sir, I don't think be I
dead. The doctor take him 'way
in de amb'lance."
14 ?? !
"Yessir, it was sure foolish."
?? ??
"Marse Henry, I done set fire
under Magnolia."
? i
"De harness? Dun bu'n de
harness clean off um."
4
<?1
De cart? Yessir, dun bn'n;
de cart, too, sir, all 'cept one
wheel, sir."
?? *t
"Yossir, I gitde feed out fust,
sir."
"Marse Henry, is you want roe
to come back to de store and go|
to work, or mus' I wait for Mag
nolia to move?"
Local Option.
The Cary-Cottfran local option
liquor bill passed its final read,
ing on Tuesday night in the
Senate, and after the House of
Representatives has passed up
on the several amendments, it
will become a law upon the affix
ing of the signature of the Gov
ernor.
We may say that the bill In its
entirety, does not please us.
We suggested several amend
ments to our delegation which
would have made the bill more
acceptable to us, but as this is a
case where "Small favors are
thankfully received, and large
ones in proportion," we say, i
"Well done," and let itgoat|
that.
