Mrs. seems to have dropped out sight but not out of mind. ills. sidetracked both Mrs. Chadwick and Miss Patterson the time being. President Roosevelt says half of government is unnecessary, but he does not say which half. The Kinston Free Press in not arrival of the first load of of season, says trouble has begun some other fellow may want George Gould down to North Carolina and shoot him, if a wife is to be included in the recompense. The national house of has voted to impeach Judge of Florida, and the matter is now pending before the senate. Several republican legislators in Missouri bolted the caucus nominee and prevented the election of to the United States sen- ate . Some of the papers keep on talk- about the legislature being over- with and And the laborers keep on, too- holding their jobs. Duke has been declared sane and will return to North Caro Perhaps the most insane thing about him was leaving the state to a better place. The Raleigh Post has found a penny dated 1793 and is wondering what the size its fortune is. That is too much money to idle. Start it to rolling. There are now less than twenty counties in the state that permit open saloons. A little later there will be none. It is a business that is fast being pushed out. The offer of the Kentucky and Maryland distillers to take one mil- lion bales of cotton at seven and a half cents and pay for it with key will not catch many farmers. The Tar Heel club, a Republican organization at Greensboro, has secured a promise from dent Fairbanks to visit the club and make a speech on the 22nd of February. There are too many small matters to occupy the time of the legislature. A large percent of the bills intro- pertain to matters that might well be left to the jurisdiction of the governing boards of the respective towns and counties- Mitchell, the head of die miner's union, is being denounced as n traitor by some of the members of the union. Nothing strange about that. It always struck us that about the biggest thing about these labor unions was the salaries the officers and walking delegates got out of the hard earned wages of the laborers. Senator Tillman, of South keeps bis good eye on the look- out. He has served notice that the statehood bill will not be allowed to go through until it is so amended as not to authorize mixed schools in the proposed new states. Mr. Till- man asserted that the bill as drawn permitted colored children to enter public schools, and said Southern men could not agree to this. The house on amendments has made a fa- report on a bill introduced by Representative to amend the constitution so as to per- m race to poll and prop- for special school purposes for the race so taxed. If the bill passes the proposed amendment will be voted on at the next general election and we believe it will be ratified by a tremendous majority. was not money well spent. The promptness with which the matter was taken in hand and the general vaccination that required ac- counts for the outbreak being con- fined to two or three cases and a quick stamping out of the disease. That another case has not since re- shows the benefit of prompt action. Governor W. L Douglas, of Mas- has done a good thing i settling the strike among the Fall River mill operatives that has been in progress since last July The operatives struck against a per- cent reduction in wages and they held out against it for six months, suffering all manner of privations in the meantime. Governor Douglas took charge of the matter as media tor and effected a settlement of the trouble, the accept- the cut and returning to work, the manufacturers agreeing to pay a dividend of percent on wages if the earnings A remarkable thing about the settlement is that both sides regard the outcome as a victory. There is great rejoicing at Fall River over the ending of the trouble. An Error Regarding the Bond Issue. In another column we publish a bill, which Senator J. L. Fleming will introduce by request, to change j and enlarge the Greenville graded school district. The proposed bill is published in advance to acquaint the people interested with its pro visions, and to give any who may oppose its becoming a law an to express themselves. We do not think, however, that the who will get the benefit of the graded schools should object to pay- their part of the taxes needed to support the schools. In his speech to the jury, when the son of a prominent citizen was being prosecuted under a bill of in- found against him and stress having been laid upon this by counsel for the defense, Solicitor Moore said he felt it his duty to show no discrimination in a prose- and regardless of how he might feel personally toward any one the obligation rested upon him to endeavor to enforce the law and that equal justice was done to all. It is this principal that has made his career as solicitor so successful. The Reflector does not believe the district has had a more conscientious than Solicitor L. I. Moore. Some talk has been heard in pass- that there was considerable cost attached to stamping out the threatened smallpox epidemic here last fall. True it did cost both the town and the county considerable money, but who can look at the sit- nation in its true light and say i Wash- correspondent, who has a way of expressing himself in terms that are not subject to doubt as to their meaning, and those conclusions are generally regarded as accurate, says in a recent letter to The Louis- ville, Ky., Post, that if he ask- ed what is the most disreputable and disgraceful thing any State of the American sisterhood has he would not hesitate a moment, but would name South Dakota, which has assumed the position of one who has received stolen goods. of establishing and licensing a gambling hell as a gentlemanly community that needed the money would do, South Dakota accepts as a gift certain alleged obligations of an infamous carpet bag government that stands on the footing of forged bank says the dent. Not only this, but the State was enough to demand its collection by of a court of Continuing, so South Dakota has a judgment against North Carolina on a forged check. If I were not a Kentuckian I would rather be a r Carolinian than anybody else, though my father was a Virginian. The old State is first in war. She never was much given to furnishing the man of epaulets, but she had a great habit of sending to the front the fellow with a musket in bis hand, and it was always a danger- thing to be in front of that fol low when he was in line of battle. North Carolina never owed an honest dollar that she was not anxious to pay, but every cent of this judgment is dishonest in every particular, and its collection will be the infamy of South Dakota. I have no doubt North Carolina will pay it, and I even less doubt that hon- est man everywhere will look on South Dakota with scorn and con- These be nice words about North Carolina, and we of the Old North State proud in the belief that they are true. As to the action of South Dakota in becoming a party to the collection of the ten bonds presented University as a plan to bring a suit which would not otherwise lie, it seems to us to merit severe lending of the power a State to speculators of the worst type. The Evening Post's correspondent is, however, mistaken in his conclusion that the bonds in question were is sued by a carpet-bag Legislature. They were issued by our own people in aid of the construction of the Western North Carolina Railroad, and while they brought but little over half par in the first instance, the were applied to building the road and the latter is now one of the principal links in the Southern Railway system, having been sold some years ago. North Carolina along with other Southern States, shortly after the war, herself unable to pay all her debts. The Legislature therefore, proposed to compromise a number of the State's securities at what we were able to pay. This offer was accept- ed by many bond holders, but not by Simon Schafer, of New York, who held certain of its bonds. At the instance of ex-Senator he recently presented ten of these bonds to South Dakota to be sold for the benefit of the State Suit was brought for the face value of the bonds with interest, and the Supreme Court of the United States North Carolina to the extent of the stock in the North Carolina Railroad pledged to the payment of the bonds. This matter is now before the Leg- and the whole number of outstanding bonds may be bought by the State so as to prevent future litigation of this Observer. The appointment of a committee by the Legislature to travel around in a body to examine into the differ- institutions maintained by the State is quite expensive and quite useless. The managers of these in- having due notice of the arrival of the Committee, put on best clothes and invite their lady and gentlemen friends to come in make merry with the visiting statesmen. A feast of fat things is prepared, including carriage drives around town, and every possible kindness is bestowed on the exam- He would be an ingrate in- deed to go back to Raleigh from such a mount of pleasure as this and make the least reflection on so fine hosts as those whose hospitality he has and Child- The delay of the Murray trial by a juror suggests the idea that a trial by jury might be facilitated in instances of this kind, by having teen jurors. The three extra men to be selected as the others, sit with them, hear the evidence, and be ready, in case one should be by sickness, to take his place. We throw out this idea for what it is worth, as it strikes us as a good plan to carry through a case without delay that is unavoidable. Durham Sun. Are we not in great danger of centering attention away from the home as the arena in which life's problems must be solved The Legislature may enact laws and or- may promote causes to ameliorate evils fostered by gent homes. Hut the home alone can produce manhood and woman- hood that needs no remedies and no Recorder. The legislature keeps whacking away at morphine and cocaine. May be they will reach cigarettes before they get through, but it is doubtful, yet these little devils are doing more harm than anything on this earth . This is a broad assertion, but the facts will bear it out to the letter. Greensboro Record.
