A recent examination held at various points in the south de veloped the fact that seven-eights of the applicants were colored, The reason given for the famine of white applicants is that negroes are employed the mail service and white men will not work with them.

Johnson on State Appropriation 10 Holiness orphanage. ; In a sermon on Stato Missions at the First Baptist church Sunday morning ReyLivingston iohnson, corresponding secretary of the Baptist State convention, made an attack upon the action of the last Legislature - in passing 'an act to appropriate one thousand dollars for the support of the El- hanan Training Institute for Homeless Children," at Marion. ' His sermon Was a statement of things for : which State Missions stands and was outlined as follows : First E vangelation ; . second, In doctrination ; third, Expansion. Under the head in Indoctrination, he said among other things : S4The Baptists have always stood for the complete separation of Church and State. An act of the last Legislature shows that we need to emphasize this principle in our State' today, A woman came to Raleigh during the last Legislature who could teach the old professionals a long time in the art of lobbying. She said she had founded an orphanage and was looking to the Lord alone for its support. She spent a good part of her time in the Capitol Square with a little child on either side. These children she said she had gotten in the East and was carrying to the orphan age. One morning The News and Observer published the fact that bill had been introduced and passed both houses appropriating $1,000 to the support of this or phanage, I To say nothing of the woman's faith which seemed to drop sud denly from the Lord to the Legis- ajnre quite a drop by theway our law-makers, in the act, tramp ed under foot a most sacred prin- iple for which-theBaptists have ever stood. The -orphonage is said to belong to. th,e IHoliness chnrch. and at thig-hour a meeting is be ing conducted in its chapel by those who hold to the latest re- igious fad, namely "the girl of the unknown tongues," Some say. the title of this property is vested in its manager, who holds it in trust, for the so-called Holiness Church. But does that improve matters any? If she holds the property in trust the appropriation is to a church, and if it is her in dividual property the money has been appropriated to private in terests. The last Legislature then, put its hand into the pockets of the citizens cf the State and took therefrom $1,000 and gave it to a so-called church, thus recognizing the the unholy union -of Church and State, for the dissolution of which our fathers went to jail one hundred years ago. "A few yeara ago our convention sent a message of encouragement to our English brethren who in their protest against the iniquitous educational bill are making their last fight for the separation of Church and State. I say their last ngnt because tne victory is certain. Is it not about time for our convention to register a deep and etaraal protest against the act of the list Legislature? :' Tha sat Mr, Johnson referred to is printed herewith as follows : "That the sum of one thousand dollars is her&6y appropriated, five hundred for the year one thous and nine hunds and seven, and five hundred for one thousand nine hundred and sight, out of any money in the S$ate treasury not otherwise appropriated, fcr the support of the Elhanan Train ing Institute, at M&rion, North Carolina, and the sara d ofc BUU1 ISO JH1U BU iUUS BlIV - "JF the owner and superiritv&s.t of said institution, in quart Wty iay ments, commencing the Cjey- Cay of Juney one thoTUBimd, nine hun dred, and seven.

States "which have been making efforts to secure foreign immigration .have received a setback in an :oinionendered by-Att6rneyGeneril Bonaparte. The case in poin.has be&n pend ing before the Department of Commerce and Labor 'ince Aug ust 5th. On thatdate Geronimo Gracia arrived ratTfe.Wi Orleans from Cuba, By thespecjal board of inquiry at the formejcjplace he was denied admission &rQ tne United States. The investigation deyeloped the facts that (his pass- age money -nad oeen paid oy Reginald Dykers, an. agent of the Louisana State Board of agricul ture and immigration' out of funds regularly appropriated by the State Legislature. He was given assurance that employment as a farm laborer would be secured fcr him and he promised to return to the State the money advanced to him to pay his - passage -from Havana to New Orleans. No em ployer was selected for him, but he was left free to work for whom he pleased. - The case was brought by the State of Louisana to test the im migration law. Several other Southern States were interested in the matter, because they had been engaged in soliciting immigration to points within their borders The case was referred to the De partment of Commerce and Labor, on appeal, and Secretary Straus submitted the facts .to Attorney General Bonaparte for an opinion. The Attorney General has ren dered an opinion in which he says :: "The assurance given to Gracia by the State agents constitute in my opinion, promises of employ ment within the inhibition of the fetatute -.While it is provided that aliens coming to-this country in con ;QT av"t by a State of its inducements to immigration shall not be treated as coming under promise of em ployment, there is no exception in favor of a State in reference to specific promises of employment to individual immigrants such as were held out to Gracia by the representatives of the State board." The Attorney General holds, therefore, that "on account of as- 4(surances of employment that were given to Gracia as an inducement to his immigration he should be excluded from admission." It is expected that the State of Louisana will carry the case into tne courts in order to obtain a . t m judicial determination of the question which means much, in the view of the authorities, to all of the South.

Cold weather, f all and frost having come, the huntsmen nat urally beginto think about the game, and since there are: game laws and laws, it is well to re member what they are. ' From a sheet complied by the United States department of agriculture, we find the following laws in re gard to game. in nearby counties : The season for quail is open in Davidson county November 15 ; for wild, turkey, if there is such a var mint, November 15 for, dove, lark- and robin, October 15, which was yesterday, although none of the birds ought to be hunted, for, like a farmer recently, said ""about; the quail, 'they are all the best friends thetfarmer has. - , - - ( No pheasant can be hunted , in Davidson, Forsyth, Guilford, Montgomery, Moore, 4 Randolph, Rockingham, Stokes, Surry, Yad kin, Wilkes and several other counties until November 1st, 1910. Non-game birds, which is tcrfg - say, all wild birds, save doves, larks, robbins, other game- birds, English sparrow crows blaok birds, jackdaws, rice birds, hawks and owls are protected through out the year. The shipment of. any game or non-game bird from the State - is prohibited. Non-resident hunters must take out a license costing $10.25, which entitles each hunter to take out of the State 50 quail, 50 snipe, 12 grouse and two wild turkeys in a season. Written permission must be had to hunt over lands in David son,- Montgomery, nandolpn, Rowan and Yadkin and other counties. A number of persons have been indicted in several counties this season for hunting possums, but no such laws exist in Davidson or counties;"1 except lti Guilford and Moore counties, where the law is already out, the open season being from October 1st to February 1st. The season in Rowan opens De cember 1st and closes March 1st. Another instance Where the Poop are Made to Suffer. It would no doubt make a good impression on a visitor from the moon to see a Lexington police man beating the pine brush orr a hunt for niggers shooting craps, but it would probably disgust the visitor to know that while the copper was hunting for niggers playing for five cents a crap, $500 changed hands in a poker game in the heart of town. In every town in tne state, in every court- room in the state, the colored brother catches it hot acd heavy from the strong arm of the law. He is yanked up if he gets drunk and made to do time until it takes about all he can make to pay for his drunks. Some jwhite men get it the same way. but most of the pale faces get nothing. Poor! white folks and negroes are given large doses otiaW and order every where, but those higher up hardly ever know what it is to answer for heir misdeeds. All or wnicn is rue as gospel and every man knows it, We wish every judge in the land would echo what one judge said in Lexington once, o wit, that he was weary of hav- ing negroes Drougm ueiore mm i i i e Lin for gambling when white men who made a profession out of it never smelled the inside of a courthouse.

Stanly Enterprise, October Utbu Shellie Palmer, of Rockwell, has been operating his wood-saw outfit here a number of days. He returns homo, tomorrow for - a brief stay. . Mrs. Mary B., wife of A. Jack son Crowell, of the vicinity three miles north of New London, died Monday night, after an illness covering many months. Aged 74 years. Miss Annie Murphy of he Wis cassett Hill, who is said to have grown despondent over love mat ters, tried to commit suicide Tuesday afternoon by taking laud auum, emptying three-half ounce phials of the poisom It was only by the most heroic treatment f rem Drs. Hall and. AndersofJ that the young woman's attempt to kill herself was fpild. One of the most pleasant occa sions that Albemarle has had for ometime was the marriage on last Wednesday evening -: at 8 o'clock of Miss Maggie Lowder, the lovely daughter of Mrs. Ella Lowder, to DeBerry Almond, one of Albemarle's energetio young men. Since last Friday the tank of the Albemarle Water Works Com pany has been empty, owing to a break in the pump. A temporary pump was rigged up by Messrs. Sibley and Winecoff, but failed to supply a sufficient volume of water, and the patrons of the company have been put to no little inconvenienoe sicce the accident. One of the Whit ney mechanics, who has had wide experience with ' bored wells, be gan work Tuesday morning, and has succeeded in- removing parts of the casing. A pump will be seeared for temporary use, until the completion of the new 6-inch ireil bymg bored. near the present one by the present local well-drill- mg company, Messrs. Jraimer k Smith, when the old will be fully repaired and a double water ca pacity guaranteed. Amos Lilly, a well-respected young colored man, who formerly lived'at Albemarle-was acciden tally, killed at Palmerville on Sunday. Coroner D. F. Rumage held an inquest, the jury return ing a verdict that the man died from a wound in the thigh cause ed by a pistol ball shot from a pistol that was being handled by Ed Hunt. The' evidence stated that the pistol was dropped upon the floor and the discharge was accidental in nature. Amos was a son of Lewis Lilly, and was a quiet, good-natured fellow. His remains were taken in charge by the local Masonic lodge, and in terred iu the.Kingvilie' cemetery, under f ulL honors. " Some are trying" to explain away the blowing up of Mountain creek bridge by saying that the fuse was a fragment which had lodged there from explosions in the ford. But this theory will cot hold when it is learned that the pieces found were unearthed from rocks in the abutment and the spot where found, gave unde niable trace of an explosion that had certainly taken place. Eye wit nesses say that the fuse could not have reached the point except by the help of human hands. It is a hard thing to believe against any one, but evidences are so cone4u sive that no pain Should be spar . a - ed to find theguilty party or parties, be they white or black. His Dear Old Mother.

The Iredell Telephone Co. has raised rates and it is now in order for Editor Qlark, of The Land mark, to sit up and jtake notice His objection to the Bell service was monopoly and the price of the Bervice. It was this spirit that prompted Statesville to down the Bell and institute a home-made servioe. Winston Republican, The Greensboro Record ar?d the Asheville Gazette-News l(and pos sibly other papers) have referred to the increase in telephone rates by the home company; anc. while ' not saying so in so man v. words both the Record and the Gazette News leave the impression bat all the fight against the Bell haa amounted to nothing; tht- the home company has duped the people by raising rates af for prom ising not to do so, etc., arc. that Statesville had just as w have kept the Bell. Our contem prariea may not mean to be unfa .r, bui the impression oonveyed "By sheir language is incorrect. If. they want to be fair they will state the exact facts, which we recite briefly for their benefit : ' The home company c -d not promise to give service i ;-r an time at $1 and $2 per mor v2.
