CAMERON NEWS (Continued from first page) message that his mother was djpng, was picked up in a dying condition by the Carter Furniture Co., Satur day evening and brought to Cameron. Dr. O’Briant was called and found the young man suffering from heart leakage. After rendering first aid the young man revived and told his pitiful story. A purse was quickly made up, W. A. Muse gave him a railway ticket, and he was put on the train and sent on his way rejoicing. Mr. J. F. Saunders spent Sunday in Hamlet. Mr. Vaughn Apperson, of Durham, was a guest last week of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Irvin. Rev. L. H. Joyner and family moved to their new home at Stem last Wed nesday. Rev. Joyner left a renewal to The Pilot. Cameron people extend their heart felt sympathies to Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Thomas and family in the passing of the dear little daughter who met such a tragic death by fire. Words of consolation seem like empty sounds in grief like this. May the Healer com fort the stricken parents as He alone can. Let us hope that the little one's sufferings were allayed in the hour of death. A week ago two little feet passed softly Through Heaven’s gates of pearl and shining gold. Two rose white feet unfit to bear life's burden Were gathered in the Heavenly Shepherd’s fold.- The funeral services were conduct ed by Rev. L. H. Joyner, and the little one laid to rest in Johnson Grove cemetery. And now her spirit shines in the light of God; His likeness stamps her brow. Through the shadow of death her feet have trod. And she dwells in glory now. Among those attending the funeral from Cameron were Misses Mamie Neal and Jacksie Muse, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Cameron and little daughters, Virginia and Johnsie. MORE CO-OPERATION (Continued from first page ported 3,231 cases, and recommended taxes in the amount of $24,168,824.62. The narcotic forces, which also op erate under the Prohibition Unit, have also been reorganized. There has re suited such an increase of efficiency that with no larger appropriation or appreciable increase in field force, there nas been an increase of some sixty-five per cnt in the number ef violations reported in the period of one year, and an increase of one hun dred per cent in the convictions se cured.

NcKEITHAN & CO. Vass, North Carolina SUPERINTENDENT POU WOULD FIND REMEDIES George Ross Pou, superintendent of the state prison, announces his purpose to have three bills presented carry within it the machinery for its in the penal system. The corrective legislation asked for will, if it is not merely another mockery of the state’s motto, if it is not more sounding brass and tinkling cymbals, have to The two recent decisions of the United States Supreme court holding that Japanese may not become natur alized citizens of this country will be hailed with delight in all sections of the Pacific coast, where the menace of the yellow man has long been felt. These decisions are the last word in the matter by the highest court in the nation. It will cause resentment in Tokio, but it should soon pass away, for the law under which the ruling was made is not a new one, and has been upheld by many states time and again. The anti-Japanese feeling has long since crossed the Rocky moun tains, and is now felt as far east as the Mississippi river. There is en tirely too much danger in its spread to permit it to go unchecked. The decision of the Supreme court gives assurance that yellow will never threaten white supremacy in these lands and that is a might comforta ble feeling for those who will always believe in that great pVinciplre of “America for Americans.” to the general assembly embodying legislation that will, as he asserts, provide the foremost of the reforms desired by the committee of one hun dred on prison legislation. Moreover, the superintendent feels sure that if his recommendations are adopted “the delinquents of our state will stand at least the opportunity of reclamation instead of damnation.” The inference is that the superin tendent is in entire sympathy with the central purpose of the citizens com mittee, and the suggestions he makes from actual experience are these: Abolish the dangerous-insane de partment of the state prison and re move the inmates to the hospitals at Raleigh, Morganton and Goldsboro. Permit the establishment of any in dustry the prison board of directors may deem advisable, allowing the sale of the output to the public. Repeal the law which makes it un lawful to sell brick made by prison labor except to state institutions. All the superintendent’s sugges tions have to do with the provisions of funds for operation, except the first, and this would transfer the cost of care of the dangerous insane to another department, where these per sons properly belong, “The present system is an absolute disgrace to North Carolina,” says the superinten dent. There are 70 of these persons classed as dangerous insane in the state prison, many of them born im beciles, some can neither speak co herently nor feed themselves, crowd ed in an improvised ward, unsuited for such a purpose. The utter incongrui ty of making, the custody of such creatures a function of the state’s penal department is not as apparent as it would be if penal system and thatof care for the mentally incompe tent had not evolved, and very slow ly and gradually, from the customs of a society that regarded the insane and imbecilei as of demoniac possession, and properly subject to much the same treatment as dangerous dumb animals. It will cost money to carry out the recommendations of the committee of one hundred. It will not cost any money to pass a law. There is al ready legislation on the statute books, which if it had life in it, would meet some of the most serious conditions Our idea of an optimist is the fel low who expects lying to stop just as soon as the election is over. A Chic^o man has discovered a way to make a pair of shoes last 10 years. Going barefoot will do it, too. administration, and it will have to provide money. It is a question of how the money is to be obtained. Mr. Pou says the things demanded can be done by his department if the funds are supplied, and shows how the funds may be obtained without an appro priation—except for the purchase of machinery. The superintendent says there are, approximately, 1,100 prisoners in the state prison, fully 350 ‘finable to do a day’s work,” which, in the light of a subsequent statement, “there are at least 250 of the non-producers who could work at some industry and earn their own expenses,” appears to mean that most of these 350 are unable to do a day’s work, not because they lack work capacity, but because no work is allowed into which they will fit. They are “non-producers for no other reason than that some former legislature saw fit to legislate in favor of special interests. We are not al lowed to produce anything whatso ever with the state prison labor ex cept for sale to other state institu tions,” and the state now has in its possession a million and half of Smith’s Garage Vass, N.

A penal system should not be operated for profit.—Greensboro News.
