Caahlej^ 'our greatest menace «tf Adam* Says It Is Lau lessness—A* Many as 500 Pec pie Killed Ip North Caroliii Within the Past Three Years Extract from Judge w. J. Adams’ Charge Ui Surry Grand jury as Reported la Mount Alt Hews ' The greatest menace "to ifortl Carolina today is a spirit of law fewness among certain classes It is such that it demands- tin attention of every good citizen During the past three years at many as 500 people have beer killed in this state and nearly every one killed without! any adequate reason. There is such a thing as making violation oi the law respectable. Man, some one has said, is a handle ol habits, and many men get to be confirmed criminals, utterly re gardless of few, and this state comes about gradually. The child contracts the criminal habit and by the tune he te a man he develops into a confirm ed criminal. The greatest lesson the people of this state have to learn is the spirit of obedience. Which, makes the best citizen, the best neighbor—the man who obeys the laws or the man who violates" them? ‘ There is much criminal negli gence in this state, due to the small value placed upon hnman life. There seems to be an Idea in the minds of many that a man te none the Worse after he takes life of his fellowman just he escapes the penalties of the few. Some- even think of him as something: of a hero, The man who keeps a vicious animal that is known to be dangerous, and ; should,!** animal kill a man, his, owner fe guilty and Should be punished. Any kind of conduct that is likely to cause the loss of ‘life needlessly te a violation of the few. Dope America the Greatest: Consumer, -jrv: ’j Rtclimond-TImes Dlspatoh.

This country uses 500,000 pounds annually. Not one hundreth part of this is pre scribed by physicians or legally dispensed by druggists. The- sale of ^hypodermic syringes and needles Is “alarm ingly large,” ajjd the sale of habit-forming drugs, opium and Its derivatives, is equally great. There is tremendous profit in the sale of this drug and the in struments used in connection with it- The law'seems inade quate to prevent the comsump Won of opium. ; in New York there is a prop osition to prohibit the sale of instruments for the injection of opiates without the prescription Of a licensed physician. This and many . other preventive measures must be adopted be fore' the opium curse can be lifted from the shoulders of thia nation. New Design of Postal Card. 'A new postal card in lien 61 the one now in use has been ap proved by Postmaster General Hitchcock. The pew card will be of creanacolor printed in red ink, making a much more at tractive appearance than that now in use: The first supply oi the new cards will be ready shortly. The new cards will cost , approximately $65,000 a year more than the cards now to use. Seeing that Mr. Hitchcock Is all the time trying to cut ex penses the wonder is that he would recommend- a new design of postal card at Increased cost Scout Cars for tbe-Central High way Beach Raleigh.

That is the best sentiment and truest gospel I caq give you.’’ Growth of Glebes in the. East. Henry Yk'aueraon in Louisville Courler-Jourmii v It is a peculiar misfortune and an augury of evil that the people of the East—notably the people of New York—get their mental sustenance chiefly through the organs of the rich. Iu the bucol ie days “befo the war” the people of the Gulf States were fed from the same trough. Their news papers sang only the virtues of slavery. None others were al lowed to exist. In the fabalous wealth of the East-piled up in a few bands—some of it predatory —-much of it sprung from class legislation—all of it more or less corrupting—it is easy to detect a growing likeness to the patricianism of the old South Already artificial conditions of life predominate. Young men are reared to regard enthusiam as effeminate. Young women are almost as educated in a knowledge of evil as young men. The sex line becomes less ami less visible. ~ Moral confusion makes political obliquity. Caste distinctions press upon the com mouality more, and mere, and harder and harder. The foolish poor either hate or emulate the rich; -firaft is -everywhere. Money making seems to have swamped simple TWtriotism and popular ideals. The newspapers are so used to this that the; grow callous—they take their complexion from society, which is well pleased with itself and Wants things to remain as they are^a dissonant note denounced as the ignoranceof an outsider, or the outcropping of anarchism. It was Just so in the Giro!"'as -fifty yeaas ago. Be who did no shout for slavery was an aboli tionist. The worst of it is that the rich are over ready to mako ■ common pause with the pred i story rich. Fifty thousand dollars wiU lie ! spent m remodeling the Varbo rough House in Haleigb. OlTH’H POLITICAL SWAY, Thl» Section Will Have Mon ISfW ConYre** Tban Since Magazla* gin the make up of the commit* of the House of Represents I * £8, the political ascendency of ffo South is shown in a striking "fay. The Democrats have a majority of sixty-eight in thit -amber and, of course^ were ositled to the leading places on committees. Of the chair? tranships of the important 000^ jittees of that chamber, South j^rn members hold twenty'eight tiid those of the rest of the coun febave only seven. If Missouri, vtiieh was a slave State in 1800, & counted as part of the Sout^h, it section also holds the Speak 1 and, in the present aspect df iirs, he is one of the most )mising of all the presidential ibilfties of hiB party for 1912. Jit in giving the South three furths of the choice places on ITe House committees, nobody pll accuse the dominant party g that chamber of any unjust KHiiality to wared Dixie. The ifeat bulk of the Democratic »tes in Senate and House comeg |pm the Smith. That section iRnishes practically all the elec ^■al votes which Democratic Residential candidates have fen receiving in recent can uruugn eni ana gooa report Southern States cling to the Smocratie party. Although the th disliked Bryan, it gave a practically solid vote in sSfree campaigns. With the pos si ^exception of two or three jfcttes, the 8onth will andonbt e<3ygTve its' electoral vote to ijjw Democratic presidential can | #idate of 1912, whoever he may |§* Moreover, the Sooth' holds ti - braind as well as the bulk of ! Ct- Democratic party. In th« V cats. Rayner of Maryland at North Carolina, Till uth Carolina, Bacon o ; .a, '>"j«ter.of Alabama ant the leading iy in that eha...oer. In the Underwood of Alabama, chairman of the ways and ns committee; Henry of ;as, the head of committee on Clayton of Alabama, the irrnan of the judiciary com mittee; . Adamson of Georgia, cjgiirmaii of the committee on iater-State and foreign com mprce, and Hay of Virginia, chairman of the military affairs committe, are among the ablest a.nd most prominent men in theii chamber. If we call Missouri a Southern state, We must concede to the South the possession ,of one ol •lie finest orators and most picturesque personages of rectnl times. This, "is the Speaker, I'hamp Qlark. The South em hatically deserves the recogni non of the House committees. Moreover the South will undoubt ■ dly have more sway in the Democratic national convention o«912 than it has had in any similar gathering since 1860. 0(1 Company Ordered to Dissolve, waanisgtoa DtapatnB, Hay lath. The Standard Oil Company ol N*if Jerssy and its nineteen subsid iary corporations were declared to ny Uy the Supreme Court of the l Sited States to be a conspiracy and cimbinatioa in restniot of trade. U htdo was held to be monopolizing mtcratale commerce in violation of liieShermao anti-trust law. The dis location of the combination was or i>>red , to take place within six months. Thna ended the tremend ous; struggle of years on the part of thegovernment to put down by autb -irity of law a combination which it Isimed was a menaoe to the indns triel and economic advancement of theentire country. At the same time the court interp reted the Sherman anti trust law so a* to limit its application to acts of indue” restraint of trade and not “etifrj" restraint of trade. It was ou this point that the Qnly discord ant note was beard in the court. Justice Harlan dissented, claimiug i hat eases already decided by the coa|t bad determiud once for all, ihlft the word ''undue'’ or unreason able oi similar words, were not in lb#1 statute. He declared that the reasoning of the court in arriving at Its findings was in effect legialat iJg which belonged in every in aMinoe to Congress and not to the ciurts.T '£ : A 1*000-Acpe Fruit Farm. Cbarlotte Observer The anouncement of the charter* ing of a corporation for the purpose of constructing a 10,000 acre or chard in the eastern portiou of [far nett count; evidences that gradual steps are being taken to develop the well-nigh limitless fruit-growing possibilities of North Carolina. As brief!; outlined the plans contem plate the planting of pecan, peach, apple, and other trees and the im- . mediate installation of large truck ing operations. Fruit growing has been attempted in North Carolina almoet since the beginning, but in a somewhat haphazard fashion. There are many excellent small orchards in the east^ notably in the vicinity of Newbem—and the monntian farmers are begioning to realize the importance of the matter. The es tablishment of a large enterprise like’the proposed Harnett orchard would necessarily attract much more attention to the subject and lend im petus to its advancement. Further more, the 10,000-acre orchard may be expected to set an example in the matter of careful grading and sort ing of the various fruits and the best method of packing them for ship ment—items upon which it would be difficult to lay too much stress just at this stage of fruit-growing in North Carolina. MATTERS OF NEWS. A monument to the memory of Pocahontas, the Indian maid of early Virginia history, is provided form a bill introduced in Congress by Sena tor Martin, of that State. The bill prorides forthe erection of the mon ument at Jamestown, Vo. The eight-boor day will go into effect for all telegraphers employed in Western.Udiion offices, beginning IJuhel, according to a statement from offices of the Commercial tele graph Union of American. Wagee will be increased. The beet men will receive $100 monthly instead of I $85 and $95. The Carthage Graded school com mencement will, be held on May 28th. Hon. J-lprynn Grimes will the Commencement oration. The school is indeed fortunate in being able to secure these two gentlemen on this occasion. -A new cotton-destroying bug, a variety never seen in the cotton belt before, has been discovered near Claxtou, Ga. They bore into the young cotton stalks, causing them to wither and die. Planters are al armed and the Department of Agri culture at Washington has been re quested to investigate at once. Senator Simmons has introduced in Congress to the effect that on and after the 1st day of July, 1911, letter carriers of the rural free deliv ery service, serving daily routes of 24 miles or more, shall receive a salary of $1,200 par annum, payable in equal monthly installments, and shall after twelve mouths' service be allowed annual leave with pay not to exceed twenty days; the sub stitutes for carriers on vacation or inability of carrier to be paid dur ing said service at the same rate paid to the rural letter carrier. It Is (rood to Be a Southerner. We people in America are in deed the favored of the gods— and none more so than those of us who live in the south. There is indeed much to suggest the idea that here in the south, with our rich natural resources, kind ly climate, democratic ideas the absence from us of a fashionmad. idle-rich class of degenerates, our old fashioned ideas of mor ality, and our growing freedom from the enervating effects of intemperance and idleness, we shall grow leaders who will not only make the south great but win leadership in the nation at large. And in bringing about this result upon no class does so much depend as upon those next to the soil.—Clarence Poe, in Progressive Farmer. Mr. Mills Wants the Atlantic & Western. President John A. Mills, of the Ral eigh and Southport Railway, stated to the News and Observer Tuesday that he had employed a corps of men to dean up the right of way for the oon- a etruotion of a line from Lillington to Broadway. He stated further that the work of grading would begin shortly, after which the actual construction of the road will begin. It is also stated that when the extension of the Atlan tic and Westers is completed to Lil ltngton, an effort will be made on the part of the Raleigh and Southport to take over this road, glftng a through line from Raleigh to Sanford. There la talk of the Atlantic aud Western be ing extended to Goldsboro. mmmmmmmwam m mmmm * With Springtime Comes I the Suggestion of ■ Beautifying the Home.
