GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JAN. 1908
LEGISLATURE SHOULD ACT-
During the past two weeks we
have noticed a great deal of com-
in the State papers on the
recent interview of ex-Gov. T. J.
Jarvis in The Reflector in regard
the wisdom of the extra leg-
passing a State
law. While a majority of
the papers have expressed
of Governor views,
some have spoken against it.
Among the objections raised to
his position is the suggestion that
it would be unfair to thrust pro-
upon the people of the
State without giving them a
chance to vote on it. We won-

The executive committee of the

opportunity for securing State
prohibition. With a view of
working to that end a temper-

in Raleigh on Tuesday, 21st, the

the advance of freight rates to
Greenville was the result of a
combination or collusion between
the two railroads operating here.

what is for the welfare of the
people and best interests of the
State. He is not an office seeker.
He has received every honor his
State can bestow upon him, and
there is nothing else that he
wants. At the same time he has
not lost his love for North Caro-
and her people, and there is
nothing that gives him greater
pleasure than to be saying or
doing something that will lift the
people to a higher plane of
intellectuality, prosperity
and happiness. As a man
unselfish he stands with-
out a peer. As one who loves
his fellow man he is unsurpassed-
He is North Carolina's greatest

to be to regulate

evaporation, excessive and danger-

X The quantity secreted depends
much upon the temperature of the
H air, exercise and the amount of fluid
drunk. But it averages between
t thirty and forty ounces a day.
It varies in inverse proportion to
the secretion of the kidneys. The
secretion is constant summer and
. winter, day and night, but
evaporation keeps pace with it,
and it docs not appear as moisture
on the skin. This is called the in-
sensible perspiration, while that
visible as water is called the
perspiration.

The perspiration that occurs at

quantity of water exuded is some-
times enormous, soaking not only
