Connie Officers Do Not Co-operate WVli tbe Revenue OtUcere of the Federal Governmental!! Putting- Illicit mills out of (Indues. Cor. Charlotte Observer. Kai.eigii, July 21. One of the ques tions of the day is, are tbe county officers in North Carolina doing their duty? The Watts law, drafted by Sen ator Simmons and Governor Aycock, and enacted by the Legislature, im poses a clear duty ofreaking up illicit distilling of whiskey, etc. Revenue Agent Chapman, of Greensboro, is here and Tbe Observer correspondent had a special interview with him which throws much light upon the neglect of duty along tins (particular line by county officers. Col. Chapman la a Confederate veteran, who was a lieuten ant colonel in Mosby's famous com mand. lie nasaserved in the revenue service in Tennessee for years. When asked what was being done in tbis State in the way f capturing moonshiners he replied: "Last month we captured 40 illicit distilleries, an increase of eight over the preceding month. I am not prepared to say whether moonshing is increasing in North Carolina or not, but (ear that it is. Besides tbe stills we captured we got 2,400 gallons of whiskey, which was buried and which would have escaped taxation. We also captured four horses and four wagons and buggi6t. I have been in Tennea see, where they have a low somewhat similiar to your Watts law in this State, but there the county officers are strict in carrying the law into effect, and they have driven out the moonshiners except along the boundary of tbe State. From them and from Tennessee reve nue officers I now receive .information of the presence of illicit distilleries which are being operated across the line in North Carolina. Such a notice reached me yesterday. In Tennessee the county officers co operate thor oughly with us in putting down illicit distilleries, and not only so but tbey give information as to the location of stills and also co-operate with us in seizing them. There is not a particle of oo-operation with us in North Caro lina and not a solitary county officer has offered the least assistance. We have appeals from the citizens in a number ot sections that their business is being interferred with by illicit dis tillers and retailers, these appeals being coupled with the statement that the county officers are not paying the slightest attention to these matters. The letters call upon the government to capture the law-breakers." Col. Chap man when saying tbis was in the office of Bevenue Collector Duncan, and said to the latter: "You have received many complaints I am sure? "Yes," replied Collector Duncan, "plenty of them." No doubt this interview will attract attention and will arouse the Anti Saloon League to a sense of the situa tion. No doubt some county officers think it popular to be on the side of the moonshiners and the whiskey sell ers but as one of tbe most popular men in the State remarked a few days ago, tbey will find, out later what a sad mis take they have made. This gentleman went on to say that he expected within the next four years to see tbe sale of liquor prohibited or regulated in every county in North Carlina; this is that within that period there will be either prohibiton or the dispensary system in all parts of the State. Perhaps the in terview will arouse some of the county officers to a sense of their duty.

The editor of Charity and Children is no entitled to the floor on the sub ject of providing amusements for the young. We have an idea that in some quarters bis animadversions will be re garded as rather old timey, but we ven to place ourseis in the same concern nation by giving our endorsement to idis plan.aj Here is what he says: "Much is said about tbe matter of amusement for our young yeople now adays. Human ingenuity is taxed to provide proper and safe amusement for our boys and girls, and the newspapers discuss it, and strong men are selected to speak on the subject at our great meetiffgs,(and light from all sources is poured upon the question, and still no sufficient answer to the question, bow are our young people to be amused, has been given. Baseball teams are organ ised, picnics are provided, clubs are formed, games are discovered, and time and money are freely expended to find some way to fill this long felt want Busy people do not need -to be amused. It is the idle who are discontented and unhappy. The boys used to go out on the farm at sunup and plow until sun down, with the single gleam of a little fishing frolio on Saturday afternoon to cheer them on. No money was spent on their amusement and they were happy as well as useful. May we not have tried in the wrong way to satisfy this craving which we are told must be met f A little honest work is a good remedy for discontent, while the effort to amuse an idle brain or body, or both, only adds to the desire. In every little town there are scores of boys and- girls with nothing in the woild to do. They go to school about five hours a day and tbe other ten that they are awake they apeTid in a fruitless effort to amuse themselves; and foolish parents, instead of putting them to work where they will be sufficiently amused, try in vain to make life pleasures. A dixie plow and a "peart" mule 48 a good combination for the amusement of a 14 year-old boy; and a lrsson in house work by a firm, wise mother will grad ually straighten the face of a pouting girl. Off the farm it is harder to pro vide these amusements, but in good solid work it may be found, and there alone." , e The Long-eat National Convention, Harper's Weekly. The longest convention in our politi cal history- was the Democratic Na tional Convention which met at Char leston, South Carolina, in 18(30. At the end of ten days it had accomplished nothing and adjourned to meet in Bal timore. Even whwn the majority of tbe delegates reconvened in the last named cily they neened four days to nominate Stephen A. Dougless. In 1868 the Democratic National Conven tion met in Tammany Hall, New York on tbe 4th of July, which fell on Satur day. It did not begin balloting until the following Tuesday, and it was not until Thursday that the Convention was stampeded for Horatio Seymour. In 1892 the Democratic National Conven tion, which nominated Mr. Cleveland for the third time, was in session three days. Neither was it until the third day that Mr Bryan was nominated by the Democratic National Convention which met at Chicago four years later, The Kansas City convention also sat for three days, although, after the pla form was carried through the commit tee on resolutions by one vote, Mr, Bryan had everything bis own way. Newton Well Go Dry. Newton Enterprise. Newton never came so near a water famine as the town is now experi encing. Numbers of well all over tbe town have gone dry, and several families are now using water from nearly every wl that still Holds out. This is es pecially the case in the npp part of town. And some well owners who have bad water to divide with theiM neighbors, have found it necessary to limit the number of families they sup ply. Some time during coug the pub lic well was dry, although there was at no time a large crowd Qra. Te The Feint. "What business are you in? asked the bard featured passerlr. "I?" replied Mr. Pompus.

"Perhaps not," re plied Miss Snapp, '"but you certainly TBI THE OLD haye put up a gallant fight." "THB niX WITH THE HOE. Gsvernnaent Printing Office's Big Preaa Hefneee to f(Vork. New Tors Tribune. In spite of the most earnest endeavors on the part of a large number of expert workmen, the new $38,50 press at the government printing oftce refuses to work. For six months a mechanical sharp from tbe factory has been going over the mammoth machine, and, al though be has declared time and again that it was in "the jink of condition" and "ought to Bin like greased light ning," there has been a hitch some where in its mental anatomy that baa prevented it from reeling off tbe "Records." The new press has long been known as the "pride of tbe print shop." It is a monster, 20 feet high and 35 or 40 feet long, and when it gets to working will dash off more than 200,000 pages of The Congressional Record in an hour. AU the other presses in tbe big gest printing office in the .world look like pygmies (reside it. The guides who steer visitors about the works always stand awestruck before it when they get within sight of its polished arms, bright plates and monstrous rollers. In tones appropriately hushed, as though in the presence of majesty, they describe tbe tbe workings of tbe great cylinders, tbe powerful motor and almost human in telligence of the parts that count the sheets, fold the leaves or stop the whirl f the giant wheel when anything goes wrong. "It'll bo the bost wonderful press in tbe world when it gets to working right," the guide remarks as he passes reluctantly on to some smaller piece of machinery. The government will not pay the 138,750 that the press is supposed to be worth until it works perfectly. At present the experts wbo have been toil ing over it for half a year to discover what was wrong say that a little pin no larger than pne's finger is missing, and as soon as it is made and put in place the whale in the printery deep will be able to swim. A Deplorable Spectacle, Charlotte Observer. That is indeed a deplorable spectacle that has been presented to the country in tbe strike situation at South St, Paul, Minn., the men wbo quit work forming a barricade around tbe Swift packing plant and allowing only the high officials and women stenographers to enter. But as bad as this is, it is not a marker for the action of Cover' nor Van Zandt, who declined to inter fere, saying that other means than calling out tbe State militia could be utilized to secure order in the packing house district. If he were an thing else but a coward, tbe Governor of Missouri, as soon he had learned that the sheriff was unable to break the blockade at the stockyards, would have ordered every military company under his jurisdiction to the scene if neces sary to maintain order and if that were insufficient, called on tbe President for Federal troops. The fact that ere long an election is to be held doubtless has much to do with Van Zandt's ac tion, or rather failure to act. Comes Oat for Parker. Judge Robert Hunter, of Alexandria, La., the most prominent Republican in central Lousiana and leader of the party there, has declared for Parker for President. Hunter was postmaster at Alexandria under President McKinley and Republican candidate for Congress from the fourth Louisiana district at the last election. He explains his change of politics by tha negro issue forced into the campaign by Roosevelt. He says the election of Roosevelt as President would be a calamity for the whole country because of the sectional differences and disturbance it would bring about. Intemperate Heir Will Inherit Noth ing. Fbahklih, Pa July 22. S. P. Mo Calmont, an eccentric millionaire, who died last week, devised a way to pre vent intemperance among his heirs. His will, just filed, efcluides as bene ficiaries, any child who indulges in tbe use of liquor, tobacco or narcotic drugs. The entire estate goes into the bands of tbe executor, wbo shall manage it and divide annually the proceed among only such children as do not use to bacco, liquor or narcotic drugs in any form or in any quantity.

"Say," said the little man. "I guess you'd better continue my room for an other two weeks. I've got to get busy." Stayed With the General. Tbe late General J. B. Gordon is credited with this sfory. "When General Robert E. Lee was righting Grant in 'the last days' an old darky besieged headquarters with re quests to see 'the gin ral.' He was turned away a dozen times. But lone day he succeeded in reaching the guard immediately in front of General Lee's tent, and almost got into the tent itself before be was stopped. The altercation which f llowed was overheard by Gen eral Lee, who called out, "let that man come in!' Then into the tent came tbe fellow, a rawboned, shambling, gray headed, gnarled old darky, who scraped the ground with his foot and kept turn' ing bis hat around nervously in his hand. " 'Well, where do you belong?' de manded General Lee. " 'I b'long to y'r company, gin'ral,' returned the darky. " 'No you don't,' declared the gen eral, sharply. 'Everybody in my com pany has been shot. How is it that you haven't been?' 'The darky scratched bis head lnen from bis twisted mouth came a confidential whisper: 'Well, yo' see, gin'ral, it's this way.

In an address at Chautauqua, N.Y., Tuesday, Father Doyle, of of Faulist Fathers, said this, among other things: The time way come when the State will need more than now the strong and conservative arm of the Catholic Church to banish the Socialism and suppress the lawlessness which present irreligion is surely beeding. PAR.TIER. Atlanta Constitution. ' The United States as i Buffering from a scarcity whole .are of agricul tural labor, the south's problem in tbis respect seemisjg to be a national pro blem. A recent bulletin issued by tbe fed eral department of agriculture proves by statistics that the land used in growing breadstuffs is not increasing in acreage in proportion to the increase in population. The agricultural department finds that from 1850 to 1880 tbe land de voted to wheat raising increased each decade enormously, in that time in creasing from 100,000,000 bushels tf) 459,000,000 bushels. Since 1880 the increase in the wheat area has been very slow, and in 1904 the wheat acre age is actually smaller than it was in any one of the three preceding years. The same forces which tend to cramp tbe wheat area seem to be working against a sufficient production of other things, and the chief of these forces may be seen by noting a salient feature of tbe last census. The 1,861 towns and cities of the United States which had more than 2,500 inhabitants in 1900 increased iijlpopulation as agroup by 49 per cent, during the decade of 1880 90, and the increase during the decade 1890-1900 was about 33 per cent. The increase of the population of the rest of the United States, exclu sive of these 1,861 cities and towns, was just about 14 per cent, during each of the decades mentioned. That is the force at work, and it is still in full play people rusbinf to the towns and cities, leaving the farms; a huge in crease in tbe total population, to be fed each year, by a natural growth and immigration, and a practically station ary area devoted to the growth of food for them. It means better prices for tbe farmer. At the same time, if this condition con tinues, it means that the cost to the consumer will increase. He Wa Reminded. Harper's Weekly. A Washington politician tells this story on a friend who is famous for the "whopers" he is in the habit of telling. This man's brother, it appears, finally remonstrated with the raconteur and warned him that tbe next time he heard him enlarging on facts he would remind him of it in an unmis takable way. His opportunity came at a dinner at which tbey both present. The story teller, who sat beside bis brother at the table, was describing a re markable stable which a friend of his had just built. ."Why," he was saying, "it's simple huge at least a thousand feet long, a hundred feet high ouch!" reaching down and rubbing his shin 'and three feet wide." A jury in Mecklenburg superior court last Monday night rendered a verdict granting Mrs Julia S. Holt a decree of absolute divorce from her husband, Earnest A. Holt. The divorce was granted on the ground of two years abandonment. The defendant, who is a member of the wealthy Burlington Holt family, ie now in Texas and did not contest the suit. The plaintiff was Miss Julia Settle, daughter of Judge Settle, formerly of Greensboro, and was before her marriage a beauty and belle of the state. Tbey were mairied in March, 1900, and haye no children. At Guilford College on the 20th the eight year old son of Mr. John Kidd climbed into a cherry tree, tied a plow line around bis neck and ramped to the ground.
