TO All this poppycock being indulged in just now by several Republican contemporaries, most notable among the number being The Greensboro News, about the shocking fact that The American Tobacco Company pur chased a large consignment of North Carolina bonds, gives one that tired and nauseous feeling. Not content with making an unpatriotic attempt to drag the name of his State in the mud. to cast aspersions upon his own State's credit, for poliiical ends, the editor of The Greensboro News, dis appointed because his fancied finan cial cataclasm did not materialize; peeved because a way was found to avoid a special session of the Leg islature, now pens voluminous edito rials of insinuation against various and sundry men and things. Had it been In "the power of The Greensboro News to damn State of ficials, and thereby build up a throne for republicanism, the step would no doubt have been taken. All that it could say or do to reflect upon State officials, the Legislature, and the financial status of the State, it has done. Failing ignominiously in all its nefarious attempts, it is now peeved, as a fractious child, fretting and fussing at everything labeled de mocracy. Unfortunately one or two Demo cratic contemporaries have harped over the fact of the American To bacco Company's action. We fail to see the ground for such contentions. The News has never been enamored of any deep and abiding love for the tobacco "trust," or any other such corporation. But it is not willing to condemn them without cause. There should be some common display of fairness. Who claims the right to impugn the motives of the officials of this concern? Is it not possible that the offer to take bonds was inspired by patriotic impulse? Supposing, however, for the sake of argument, that its designs were most diabolical. Has it committed any crime? The bonds were placed on the open market. . There were no bans speci fied barring certain parties from bidding. Were Judas Iscariot in the flesh and provided with a large roll, there was no law which could have prevented him from taking the entire issue. And as for the criticism aimed at Governor Kitchin, and otlfer State officials, can any one cite one 'un worthy step taken by these gentle men? The American Tobacco Com pany was not called into counsel. It was not asked to take the bonds. That man who fancies that because it did so, no matter from what rea son, will make it immune from laws and regulations in the future govern ing other concerns, has a detestably low opinion of the integrity of his State and its leaders. Not with such pottage can legislative favors be bought. Even our Republican friends know this. Why not season our comment with a grain of charity and give even the "devil his dues?" In stead of being open to calumny does not the action of this company call for condemnation? The gist of the whole matter is: the bonds were sold. There was no necessity of a special session of the Legislature. The State's credit is gilt edge. It is the very perfection of the sit uation which rubs the wrong way a few, desirous of finding something to criticise. EMPLOYES CONSIDERED. The early closing movement is all right. One of the best evidences of the upward trend of things is the changing attitude of employer to employee. For example: several years ago, mills worked operatives long hours. There were few of the joys of life shared by overworked hands. Then the call of humanity began to sound clearly, and one mill owner after another began to short en the day; and to hedge about the life of his employes with opportuni ties of enjoyment and recreation. Y. M. C. A. buildings were constructed. Flower plots were added to liven up the appearance of premises in mill villages. Even before the Legislature had taken any action on the child la bor proposition, most of the mills had voluntarily reduced hours of labor. and otherwise contributed to the health and happiness of those in their employ. The same humanitari an spirit crops out daily in other branches of industrial and mercan tile life. Clerks in large city stores are worked hard. They have little time to rest. It is nerve-racking and tiring to stand upon one's feet throughout the day constantly per forming hurried tasks. Managers of such places of business, realizing these things, have done many things to alleviate the burdens of those who aid them in conducting their business. Just now most of the stores in this city have announced that they will close early. This will give the large force of employes the evenings to themselves. With parks and many places of amusement they will forget their fatigue, and come to work the next day refreshed and invigorated. It is a good move, and the trading public can further the movement J by shopping early. UNTN NORTH CAROLINA SENATORS. North Carolina has every reason to be proud of the record made by her Senators. Those who have followed the pro ceedings of Congress know the im portant part played by Senator Sim mons in important matters up for consideration. As regards the standing of Sena tor Overman, the Washington Times of recent date has this to say: "A new Democratic leader is de veloping in the Senate. This is Sen ator Overman, of North Carolina. He has figured more prominently during thel ast two months than any Demo l crat on the floor. That is to say, he s has obtained more results. it was ne wno a lew weeks ago initiated the filibuster against the Lodge resolution asking for $05,000 with which to pursue the cost of liv ing inquiry. He convinced his Demo cratic associates that the movement of the Massachusetts man was de stined to provide the Republican par ty with campaign material. Before the filibuster 'had proceeded ten days, Senator Lodge withdrew his bill. "The latest legislative achievement to the credit of Senator Overman was his success in putting through the anti-injunction amendment to the railroad bill. This prohibits the Federal courts from interfering with the judgments of State courts with out due notice and a hearing. This resolution was presented as a sur prise and its adoption was a com plete shock in some quarters. "Just now when the Democrats are looking for a floor leader to succeed Senator Money, who is to retire next March, Overman looms up big. This is true in spite of the prominence of Senators Bailey, Rayner and Bacon, all of whom are discussed for the floor leadership of the minority." To-day the city is honored by the presence of many Knights of Pyth ians from all parts of the State. Charlotte is a great fraternal order center, and the very warmest kind of welcome is accorded to the visitors. CITIZENS' COMMITTEE.
