Fouahee'i retirement from tho bench a , virtual aacriflee to duty, - and while the tribytee helng paid him fiuat In aeme measure make Judge ouahee feel that hie effort to urA hold 'the honor and dignity of the ench i were fully appreciated, the frlenda who know him beet will wlway consider the fact that had not the failure of our moss-covered consti tution to provide emergency Judgea lompelled the Judge to alt In court tor week when he should have bean In had, he would not have been com pelled to retire before, the end : of bla term. ", In View of theie facta, The Cltlaen Vow . believes that the proponed Amendment to the North Carolina Constitution which provide for emer gency Judgea will be overwhelmingly (adopted. During the patt year three Superior court Judgea have been ln bapacltated from duty, but the gov trrnor wa powerlea to appoint sub stitute hecaus "It was not to written Sn the tend." Judge Foushe col lapsed during the Myrtle Haawklna trial at Henderionvili and ha hardly hsnown a well day alnce, and now, It la atated that Judge Dula' prjuent Vtate of health keepe htm from the fcench. ' The aplom who framed the feonetltutlon evidently overlooked the Tact that Judgee are human, and like Vither mortala are heln to all the ilia tof the flesh. I Under tjsUnc provlilon of the ttate conntltutlon no court la held laben dtatrlot Judge 1 unable to ' preside on acooimt ot sickness, unlets, ka le Very seldom the caee, another 'Hudge ean be found te do double duty. lOeemor Craig would have overcome feuch conditions, had he been able to tfo to, but, ai already etated, he wa powerless to act. ' , Returning to Judife Foushee, ' as : revlouly intimated, his retirement, Vre hla ephere of usefulnces had been founded out, ha caused much regret throughout the state. The Judiciary Of North Carolina has suffered many Josses In the deaths and rceljrnutlons, tof noted Jurists,' but in the forced re tirement of Judge Howard A. Foushe'o there Is created a vacancy which It Kill be Indeed difficult to fill.

(I'nion Progress,) Did you notice in Progress recently Congressman Johnson' offer to have the government furnish . free to the i .farm if this county Inoculating i mui.-nal for alfalfa, clover and vetch 7 application to him promptly, ior wuii !n the next thirty days thee crop ishould be sown. . I the Mix Ik-port Mixed? (Newark News.) Coroner .Mix's report, that the whole blame for the North Haven wreck on the Now Haven railroad reals upon the employes involved, does not go far enough. It falls to show convincingly why the New Hav en should-he entirely exculpated. It falls to show convincingly why tho fault of the employee was not In some measure the fault of their employers also. Hurtu's Mrror. (New York Tribune.) Gen. Huertft erred in his attempt to distinguish, In yesterday's message, between the government and the peo ple of the trnlted States. It la, of coure, technically true that his con troversy Is with our government and not with the people In town meeting aasemibled. But the obvious implica tion of his words, that there Is a dif ference between the attitude of this government and that of this people toward Mexico, must be unhesitatingly and unequivocally disclaimed. - Another In of Fatness. (Richmond Times Dispatch.) Life In Tidewater" continue to be agreeable. Here the testimony of the Southside Sentinel: "It was an old aaytng that a Virginia gentleman had two inmi.t houses, one on the land and one In the water. This, of entire, ap plied only to Tidewater Virginia. Here we have fish and crabs and oysters, ready for the picking or catching, as plentiful as blackberries, end, what Is better than herrlee, they stay with us, more or less, the yea.r around. Oh, but It's a fine country, this of ours, the cheapest country to live in there Is. Stop grumbling and go fishing." Or oourtln'. Neods to bo Chartered. (Roanoke Times.) Perhaps the recent Rev, David R. Francif, once pastor of the Third Christian church of Richmond, will begin to wondor Just where ho Is at. First he wns deposed as pastor on' the Charge that he had kissed his land lady, a member of his congregation sttnd married a woman, he being a married man. Then he wa readmit ted to full membership by a special meeting of the ' church and elected head of the tBIhle elan, last Sunday. Now he httn been fired out again, but with notice that his expulsion need not be forever. Bo the question for him 1 whether he I In or out, a member or an exile. ScHix-ffoatti Will Not SatlHfy the Public (Baltimore Sun.) Whoever else escapes responsibility for a rallr.oad wreck, the engineer, the flagman or some subordinate, of ficial can always bo sure of blame from an old-fashioned "crowner" Inquest. Engineer Miller and Flag man Murray may deserve to be held "criminally responsible" for the re cent disaster on the New Haven rail road, and if criminal carelessness or lisregard of orders can be proved j against them, they merit all the pun ishment that can be given them un der the Inw. Rut it Will require something more than a secret coro nerfc Inquest to establish their guilt to the satisfaction of the public, and It is not likely they will be allowed to be made scapegoats for the pro tection of the real criminals higher up. The whole spirit and policy of the Nbw Haven railroad management has been lawlea and reckless for years, and If employes have grown careless. It Is largely because they have taken their tone from tholr superiors. The RcnJ Frcm'h PoopK (Philadelphia Public Ledger.) This month President Pjlncsre Is concluding a motor tour of central Fra-.e His wife Is with him, and they are mlmrllng with V.t pcr.p'.e. They have thrown off the artificiali ties and formalities of Paris and nr meeting the plain folks, with delight ful rostitts. "Never ha the popula tion rlnen en manse to welcome a president of the republic as It has done this week." cabled the Perls . correspondent of The Publla Ledger. i Most Americana who travel form the idee that -Paris -Is France Tt 1s no' .more France than N'jw York Is America. Away from the city live the normal peopje who d t day's work end take their pleasure" anelv. We need to know this te understand the marvelous productivity of the FYench nation. The people are workers and eavora, and their president Is te them more than a ccujrume.'. Pnru may re gard It as bad form, hut France ap plaudsand when a now president is choeen It will be the type of Falli era the old farmer fin 1 t-hlphuilder, or Poincare, the thinker and toller.

"Noah built the ark."-,atloiial SavoyardsViews TRK WILD PIGEON. (By Savoyard) I was reading In the papar the -other day a tale to the effect that a flock of American wild pigeons had been seen in a forest in Pennsylvania. I It thrilled me with pleasure, but as I have een no more about It I fear It is a false report writ by aome-' body who knows nothing of the bird except what he imperfectly learned from obscure tradition. Tho wild pigeon Went as did the buffalo. One shortjhorn or one Jer sey cow is worth one hundred buf falo. A time caine when the latter had to give way to the former, just as the Indian receded before the march of the white man. It was all a matter of evolution ih inferior must retire to make room or the suyerlor. Hut to a man like me now nearly three soore and ten year there aro pleaaurable ..memories clinging about the wild .pigeon. If truth hath a li cense, and in this i.-ie It does, I do Ueolare I saw millions . of them In Barron county, Kentucky, in my youth, and without license I may eay I personally slew great numbers of them, though I hope not wantonly, for there was none of the huntsman's sport in their slaughter. In those days, when the frost had put lis first deadly kins on the beech trees, about October the middle, a fewi nock of wild pigeons would appear In tho forest to spy out the prospect. In the upper end of Barren county was Little Barren river. On the north : bank, over In Qreen county, were Im mense area of native foreet of beech; on the south was "barrens" covered with post-oak and hickory all scrub, though the soil was splendidly fer tile. When the breech 'maut' was abund ant, there would coma nock of wild pigeons counticas in numbers. In the heat of the day they fed on the mest of the beech woods. After sundown they would taka flight for their roost ing place some go miles south, in Warren county, and the heaven would be darkened by their number making progres at sixty miles an hour. The next morning before sunrise the bird would obscure the heavens returning from, roost to the feeding grounds. Tens of thousands of them were killed wantonly. I knew fel low named Cage who slew 200 of them in one day Just for the lust of the slaughter of the helpless. I was never In a "pigeon roost" though I hoard much about the experience, but It was a string of tales of what I felt to be wanton murder and I never had a desire to participate In the "sport" ri My father had an old negro cook, "Aunt Carllne," and she waa the only person I 'ever saw who knew how to prepare a wild pigeon for the "white folks' table that was fit to eat. I was a amall hoy, tout I recollect how she fixed the bird. At the age of eleven I was a famous squirrel hunter with a rifle, and of course I could knock down a dozen -pigeons with a shotgun. When I fetched the bag home, "Aunt Carllne" would pick out the young pigeon and they were for the "white folks " These ehe would dress herself and put In the pot. When she stewed 'em, leaving a rich Igravy, and roasted the bird after stewing, putting a delicious crust on the carcass, it waa a dish fit for the gods .when Lucullus condescended to dine on High Olympus. But o plentiful were these pigeons that we even got tired of that delica cy, and she would broil 'em, roast 'em, fry 'em, make pie out of 'em but before the birds left the foreet we would have none of 'em. Even "the niggers," as Aunt Carllne called her husband and children and grandchil dren, rejected the finest and fattest young pigeon she could dish up to them. In those day the best bacon ham the world ever aw eold tor S cents a Pound In Barren county, and eggs, laid yesterday, were a drug on Uie market at, 6 cent the dozen. No won der, after a two weeks feast on wild pigeon, even a cooked by "Aunt Carllne," we turned to the coarser dish. And let me say that in my time I have paid a dollar for a Phil adelphia squab that waa not half as good ea the wild pigeon cooked by Aunt Carllne--ona of hers, to the epicure, worth si dozen of the Phila delphia fraud. And then after the pigeons were gone, after hog-killlng with Its at tending sausage, backbone, spare ribs and eo on, we had the robin roost in old Kentucky.' It was a finer bird than the pigeon had been to my palate better than quail. There were myralds of 'era. You could buy 100 for a two-bit piece and we tired of them also and went back toliam and eggs. What ignorance we were guilty of! Nobody knew what a friend to man is the robin. CHARGKD WITH MURDER. NBW YORK, Sept. 20. Patrick neiuy, arrested m Aarian, n.
