Entered as second-class matter Jan. 19th, 1905, at the post office at Salis bury, N. 0., under the act of Congress of March 3rd, 1897. Salisbury, N. C, Apbil20, 1909. SOME REMARKS AS TO CON DITIONS IN SALISBURY. Since January 1st, 1909, there is no lawful reason why any one should be found drunk in or about Salisbury, . there is likewise no reason why the talk of bar-rooms and blind tigers should be suoh a conspicuous subject of conversa tion. If by popular vote, it had been decided that no more cotton cloth was to be made in the state, under similar penalties as those narrated in the prohibition meas ure , we take it that the mills would have closed and that the law would have been obeyed witb out question and the manufacture of such goods would have ceased; there would have been no further controversy on the subject. But not so with the whiskey men, in stead of submitting to the will of a great majority of our citizens and the legislative enactment, they, being accustomed to the violation of all laws that exist for the regulation of their traffic and the protection of society, have set about to deliberately violate the prohibition act. They act as though they were above the law of the land and look upon the ex pressed will of the people with contempt. At least, judging by conditions here, such an assertion does not miss the mark very far. For instance, there seems to be as many drunks on the streets here now as were to be found before the 1st of January, (of courBe the an ti-prohibitionists are all ready to say I told you such would be the case,) and a V6ry few less saloons. Just how many places have United States license to sell whiskey, they have a few bottles of ginger ale and Coca-cola in their show windows, have screens up at the jdoors and windows, pay rent en tirely out of proportion to the profits possible for a soft drink stand, and employ from one to four clerks, some of whom are reg ular drink-mixing bar clerks. Suoh are the facts on the surface, to be seen by the most superficial observer, unless he is a member of the Salisbury police force . Such an array of factB cannot fail to impress any one with the fact that these places cannot ex ist, cannot pay such rents, nor employ the clerical force they do, on the pretext that only a few bot tles of soda-water and "ni" beer are the only articles which they have for sale. Now, as to why these exist, we assume, the following reasons to be correct: The parties conduct ing these places have something more than soft drinks for sale, judging by the facts set forth above this nn-named article is whiskey or beer. They are in the business for the money to be made out of it, and finally because the authorities are making no effort to stop them. The responsibility of apprehending and bringing such violators of the law to justice is, primarily, on the shoulders of the mayor, the chief of police and his officers. These men know, as well as others, that violations of the prohibition law are being prac ticed, yet they are, so far as ap pearances are concered, making no effort to perform their sworn duty in this particular. In short it seems as though they are really winking at the violations and con senting thereto. We have been told, or rather it is of common re port, that the officers frequent these places, that they do not make arrests because the mayor claims he has no authority in the premises and that the officer who dares to do his duty will soon find himself off the force. Hence, with the town and county govern ments aiding and abetting these violations, both directly and in directly, regardless of the fact that a large majority of the coun ty's citixens voted to have these - institutions removed, they remain , oontrrry to the law, contrary to ithe public will, and if they are to I be I brought to justice and their depredations are to be stopped, it ;.;will and does devolve upon the good., lawablding citizins to get to gether ;on the subject and devise ways and means tor so doing. Is it not a terribly outrageous state of affaps that makes it nec essary for the citizens of a com munity to contend with their own government for the enforcement of law? We shall nope for better condi tions after t$e inauguration of our new city officials. We had three articles from cor respondents at Gold Hill last week they all contained items of - inter est to the general public and of particular interests to the. good peopie o i vruiu mil. J.C givee. US pleasure to print such ; items and we are under obligations to the gentlemen wjbo have been so kind as to send them in. Gold Hill has been unisually well cared for in this particular during the last year or so. irew matters of any consequence bo the place, if any, have been omitted from our col umns. We have a splendid regu i . . lar correspondent - tnere and we always make! an effort to see that his items ar printed. We have also enjoyed p. good patronage at Gold Hill and on the routes going thereout froifc This patronage by the goodjpeople of that place is greatly appreciated and we hope for its continuance. Now is the time to re-new your subscription. FHE BOLTER. No Encouragement for Little Selfishness Acts, butHonesty in Politics, Party regularity is an excellent thing when the party is what it ought to be It is fine to see a man stand by his party, his lodge or his church! when he can do so and keep his conscience. But there come times when he must turn sadly awky from the organi zation that b&B heretofore com manded his allegiance, and de clare his independence. We have just bad a striking example of this in the recent contest before the primaries in Raleigh . The party in power had become corrupt. The affairs off the city were shame fully mismanaged. The public revenues werelwaisted in salaries 5 ' and in varions forms of graft ine sturdy citizensnip, alter a period of amazing patience and forbearance, arose in their might and swept the field. They were in a sense "bolters," but the time had come to bolt. Nothing else, under the circumstances, could have been done. The honorable and the manly thing to do was precisely wha the good citizens did, and the old officials were in 4 gloriously defeated. In former days party regularity was a name to conjure bj. The lash of the- boss rang loud and clear, and in self-defense good men were forced to swallow the ills that they need not and will not swallow under I the new and better dispensation. The colored vote, usually on the side of the vicious and corrupt, is no longer a menace, and men are free to consult their own con sciences rather than the political exigences of the time. A bolter who bolts for a good cause and be cause he will not endorse by his vote a bad or incompetent candi date is a benefactor to his country and not a renegade. The old time party boss lost his power when the amendment 'to I the constitution that disfranchised the colored vot er was ratified by the people. The South has suffered more, perhaps, than any other section of our coun try because of our peculiar politi cal conditions with which we had to deal. But the time has come at last when a manf need no longer vote for a candidate he knows to be corrupt because he belongs to his party. Under the new condi tions, party loyalty can be as strong and true as ever ; but party slavery is a thing of the past.

Pedo's Estellai the champion butter Jersey cow of the world, is dead at her home, the Missouri Agricultural College Farm, at Columbus, isio. i In 12 months she produced 712 pounds of butter, 100 pounds more than her nearest competitor. Estella was in good health, but stumbled into a ditch and when aid reached her she was too far gone to recover. I The university statistician esti mated tnat the income from Es tella for one year would have kept an average student in the University of Missouri for a simi- lar term. THE PAYNE BILL. Senator Stone Will Attack Certain Features of This Tariff Measure. Opposition to the provisions of the Payne bill amending the act to provide revenues for the Philip pine.Islands has become general on the part of Democratic sena tors, and attacks upon it are an ticipated by the Senate committee on finance. On that account this section,has been laid aside to be considered by the full committee. Senator Stone, of Missouri, in tends to try to strike out the Payne bill Section 5, providing for free trade with the Philippine Islands, with certain limitations upon the amount of sugar and to bacco that uay be imported in any one year. The Stone amend ment will provide that the United State's must define its policies with reference to the Philippines and fix a limitation, not more than fifteen years hence, upon the con trol of the islands. It provides that the United States then shall withdraw and deliver over the reins of the government to the Filipines Under the amendment this government would be required to make treaties to secure the in dependence and neutralizations of the islands. Further provision is made that all products grown in the Philip pines shall be .entitled to free en try and in return all agricultural machinery and implements, cot ton and manufacturers thereof, books and publications, machin- ery ot all Kinas neeaea m tnt? manafacturing of Philhppine goods, and other articles which are wholly the product of tb United States shall be entitled to free entry to the Philippines . The Stonemendment is to bo come opperative when it has br come approved by the the Fili pino Assembly. Washington die patcb. Effect of Baths on the. Heart. Two physicians, Dr. Beck and Dr. Dohan, have made some inter esting observations concerning the change in the size of the heart in hot and cold baths. These are re ported in the Mnnhener Medizii: ische Woerenscarift, The obser vations were made on. fourteen persons, who were subjected to baths of different temperatures. It was foucd that in six out of seven cases in which hot batbs were used, varying from 40 to 45 degrees centrigrade, the heart was diminished in size after bath. The diminution was very marked in several cases. Out of five persons subjected to cold baths, it was found that the hearts of four were increased in size after the bath. In one casr there was neither increase nor de crease. The enlargement was re ported as remarkable in three cases. Tfee effect of baths at body temperature was found to be a slight diminution.
