Governor Cole Blease's views on negroes and their morals, horse trading,, marriage and a great variety of other subjects are presented In an entertaining way in his latest literary effort, an octavo - volume o? 333 pages, . -whiclr he has presented to members of the General Assembly. It is his official explana tion of the pardons, paroles and com mutations of sentence granted dur ing the past year. ! The book contains many harrowing stories of crime and suffering, on which the Governor keeps a running lire of comment. He, relieves the gloom by ah; occasional - joke: '" Telling why he paroled Sam Gas kins, a negro convicted of manslaugh ter, the Governor says: . ."This negro; being engaged to a ne gro girl, called to see her and in fool ing with a pistol it went off and kill " ed her. Jt seems to have been a very sad accident, however, after a second thought, possibly It. was for the good of humanity, for had they married no doubt they, would have brought forth more negroes to the future detriment " of the State.'" No Faith in Negro Morals. In explaining why he paroled VNockey' Celley, John Horn and oth " er men convicted of assaults on negro - girls, Governor Blease says the charge is absurd, in his opinion, as he doubts if the crime of assault can be commit ted on a negro woman. He expatiates on this thought with a frankness un suitable for newspaper publication. ' VThe negro race has absolutely - no -standard of morality," he declares. "They are in that respect a class by themselves, as marital infidelity seems to be their most favorite pastime." In explaining Why he paroled J. E. Murray a negro bigamist. Governor Blease says: . "If every negro in this State that is guilty of bigamy or mari tal infidelity is brought up and con victed, ; labor . will : be much scarcer than it is and many acres that are now cultivated will be idle." , Telling why. he commuted the sen tence of "Stake" Morris, a negro mur- derer, from death to life imprison ment the" r Governor says: "This de fendant was convicted of killing an other negro. "I am naturally against electrocuting or hanging one negro for killing another, because if a, man had two fine -mules " running loose in a lot and on.e iwentmajd and kicked and killed the. other he certainly would not take his gun and shoot the other mule, but 'would- fake that mule and work ft;.- therefore I believe that when One negro kills another he should be put in" the 'penitentiary and made to '.work for the State," ir - r Expiates --'jbn . H.orse' Trading. Governor Blease ' .discusses ; horse trading in' "telling "why he paroled . Frank Stone, yfho traded a blind horse to. another. jnah ana was convicted of obtafnhrg goods by false pretense. ' "There is ho excuse," says Governor Blease "for a jnan" saying that a blind horse has been put off on nim unless "he .Was either blind or drunk at the time, and th'ere'is no evidence to show that the 'prosecutor .was either. There fore he should ; have been too much of a manvto complain, for the only , 'purpose people. have for trading hors !eSTis to improve.1 If A' trades with B, "A expects . to get the best of the bar- , gain or A would riot trade. When B "trades with A he believes he got the best ' of-;tfie ' bargaiu" or he ' would not lh-aVe traded. Therefore, "when either me of item" gets stung there should -tie ho complaint.'." Simeon Ellis, a negro life termer, was tortured, the Governor says, for fepeaking to Mr. Blease without the guard's permission. . The Governor submits documentary evidence to the 'effect that;the"man was sentenced to 'the stocks for insubordination, given 45 or 50 lashes and then "tortured "With a strong electric battery for more than a half hour." "His screams and cries and j)itous appeals for mercy," jt is said, "could be heard all over the penitentiary grounds.". Governor, Blease says he liberated Ellis because he feared that if he did not the negro would be killed by the penitentiary- authorities because the Governor, had shown an interest in the :aser Sister Caused His Liberty. ;Huch of the Governor's book is giv en to pitiful descriptions of the sor- row and suffering of the wives and children bfconvicts, and it is for their sake that he has released many of the men. Telling, for example, why he liberated J. .Allen Emerson, a white ihari, serving a life term for murder, he says that the imprisonment of Em merson has seriously, . impaired the health of Emmerson's only sister. "Her life," ' says Governor Blease, . "is worth more to her and her child ren, and is "worth more to the citizen ship and ,the motherhood of this coun try than the incarceration of her bro ther is worth to the State." "V . The lone of the Governor's book is not always jocose or compassionate. He inveighs-fiercely against many men. Telling why he pardoned Bud Wilis, who Was convicted of violating (the liquor Jaws on the evidence of pri vate detectives, Governor Blease, says: ,. , , : : "My experience . with detectives or . feo-called detectives of this character, who are to receive so much for each conviction, has been that they will swear any kind of a lie in order to get $10. I have no sympathy for such a breed Qf calftle calling themselves hu maja beings;,: they are a disgrace to the name detective, and I take great pleasure in setting aside the convic tion and giving to this young man a free and ..unlimited pardon." . The Governor says he pardoned Ro land Parris; who -was convicted of as sault arid battery on his brother-in-law with intnt to kill, because Parris nvas defending. his sister from abuse. "I congratulate him," says Governor, Blease; "upon being man enough to protect 'his -sister from a drunken b-us-! band; in fact. I think there should be an appropriation made by which the Governor could award him a gold medal of honor for his action." V The Governor says he pardoned his negro, ' ; chauffeur, Harrison . . Neely, When he was convicted in. the Colum bia police: court of exceeding the speed limit because the prosecution was epite ,mork on the . part of the police and .besides,, he. says, he was in the car and knows that it Was not run ning at an illegal speed. - CHAION AT PINEHURST.

Tliey Praise Wilson's Antitrust Views and Will-Not l.GEORGL GOULD Z.HtW lttaCtHM W!trtWIWOW .1. " ., New York," Jan. 23. Much to the surprise of most well informed per sons in the financial district, several of the leading operators in the mon eyed world : have indorsed President Wilson's views on the regulation of "big business" as expressed in his recent, message to Congress. These men are bankers, corporation heads and stock brokers. George J. Gould says- "I feel encouraged. My attitude for a long time has been one of ex treme conservatism. The sentiment Is more cheerful, and I believe that business will be better. I do not think the abolition of interlocking direc torates Avill prove so troublesome or disturbing to the corporations as has been feared in some circles." Daniel G. Reid, head of the Rock Island syn dicate says, "The President's views are very reassuring." Broker and Banker Henry Clews says: "It is quite evident that there is a disposition dri the1 part of the great business interests ofthecoimtry to meet the Presi dent in a fair and square method of adjusting their business transactions. The temperate and conciliatory tone of the message is commendable. There is nothing drastic in it.. I think that after the enactment of the new trust legislation President Wilson may well be content with the achieve ments of his party and administration' ROBBERS HELDUP TRAIN i (Continued from Page One. telegraphic report of the engine and twocars had them just west of Lar kinville.' .

Make Porters Help Collect the Swag From Passengers. Chicago, January 23. With the as sistance of two reluctant but badly scared porters, a lone bandit held-up four passengers on the rear sleeper of the Michigan Central passenger train due here from Detroit at 7:30 o'clock this morning. It was a serio comic affair, which netted the bandit something over 300. .. . The robber entered the train at Jackson, .Mich.', and left it about 15 minutes later, when one of the por ters signalled for the emergency brakes. . -i-. T.- Meritts, porter of the car attacked,-was .the fi.rst.jto view . the robber, who pointed a pistol at him and hand ed him a bag. "Here," said the intruder, -'you go ahead and wake- the passengers. Tell 'em there's a . .robber wants their money. No monkey business; .I've got three or four pals with me." Meritts took the bag or hat, he is not sure which, but thinks it was a bag and shook the occupant of the first berth he caine to. "Excuse, sir," said the porter, "but there's a man here" says give him your money. Aw quit your kiddin and , let me sleep," came the angry reply from the berth. "Tell him I'm a real robber with a gun," interposed the. bandit, who pok e dthe weapon between the curtain whereas there was a tinkle of coins failing into the receptacle in the port er's hands. : From -A. M. Todd, of Chicago, the robber sot $135: from Herman Marks, of Detroit. $100, and from F. B; Palm-f er, of New York, an unknown sum.

While officials of the Interstate -Commerce Commission prepared for a hurried trip to Wash ington to draw up a petition to the Federal court demanding that the Ar mour private refrigerator car lines be compelled to furrish its traffic fig ures, A. R. Fay. vice president of the Swift Car Lines, declined to chal lenge the commission's authority, but proved a willing witness today. Refusal of F. W. Ellis, vice presi dent of the Armour Lines, to reply to questicTs, is expected to result in a Federal ruling that will establish eith er the commission's power to enforce answer's or the witness' right to re fuse to disclose his business secrets. Commissioner Charles C. McChord left hastily at noon today for Wash ington and Edward H. Hines, special, counsel for the commission, will fol; low him tomorrow. The petition . to compel Ellis to testify or eise be cit ed in contempt probably will be filed Tuesday . before Judge Landis. Mr. Fay told George P. Boyle, special ex aminer, that the operation of private refrigerator car lines was not profit able, paying the company less than 2 per cent on a large investment. Mr. Fay said that Swift & Co., had $8,500,000 tied up in refrigerator cars and that last year the net earnings on that investment were but $94,700. Must Answer Questions. Washington, Jan. 23.

(State Board of Health.) A health, officer is -the best paying investment1- that . any county ever made. We don't' mean a county phy sician one who doctors the poor but an out-and-out health officer who ia on the job every day, early and late, examining school children for defects, holding tuberculosis clinics, carrying out quarantine regulations, and lec turing to the school patronsand child ren on hygiene, sanitation and the prevention of disease. North Carolina now has about a dozen, such men, and it is interesting to see how some of them are delivering the goods. Reports from Dr. Sevier, the health officer of Buncombe county, show that during the last month, among other things, he gave 11 lectures on health, and examined: 553 pupils for defects. Out of those examined he found 209 physically defective. Most of these defects very. -seriously handicap the child, and, worst of all, they are usu ally either unnoticed or neglected by both the parent and child. Further more, most of: them can be easily remedied, and in many cases their re moval makes good or even excellent pupils out of those who appeared to be dull, backward pupils before. In Sampson county, Dr. Cooper, the health officer, examined 721 pupils in December and . found 576 had some form of physical defect' handicapping the mental or physical progress of the child. These defects ' usually occur in eyes, ears, nose, throat or teeth. Dr. Cooper also gave health talks to au diences aggregating 1,575 people. Now .this is the practical kind of work that counts. It gets right down at the bottom of things and lays a broad foundation of health education among the masses.. The worst fea ture of the whole thing is that, when a wide-awake hustler pulls off his -coat and starts to do health work in a county, he soon finds opportunities for doing health work coming his way so fast that it soon gets to be a question of either doing only the most urgent work and letting the rest go. or get ting assistants. Such conditions al ready exist in practically every coun ty that has employed a health officer HESTER'S WEEKLY REPORT. For First 23 Days of January Shows increase Over Last Year.

Some Facts About - the Industry in . v 1- New England. : (From Providence Journal.) ' s i .In the early days of the cotton man ufacturingandus.try 1 in this country Rhode Island Y was the leading State. The factory - system- on this side of the ocean began here with the spin ning frame. : of - Samuel Slater and tor some years afterward, when' skilled operatives-1 came rover, from England to seek employment here, they : usual ly came to Providence, which was known ; far and wide as the central point of the - industry. In 1815, when cotton manufacturers were memorial izing Congress for an increase in cus toms duties, information was present ed that one-third of the cotton manu facturing of the country" was done in or near Providence. In 1820 the cen sus returns showed. that this State had nearly twice as many cotton spindles as any other State could boast' of. Of course, Rhode Island, with 5 its limited area, could not be expected al ways to retain the first position' . in this great industry. Massachusetts took, the lead in 1830," but Rhode Is land retained second . place -: for over a half century '.longer. '"It is now ex ceeded by both i North and South Caro lina, as well as by Massachusetts in the number of its cotton .. spindles, while it is seventh in the amount of cotton 'consumed. This-State has. no great cotton manufacturing ; cities to compare with Fall River,, -New Bed ford, Lowell or Manchester. But Pro vidence county, it appears from a cen: sus bulletin just issued, stands .sec: ond only to Bristol county, Massachu setts, in the number of its cOtton spindles: Bristol , county, of course. . contains Fail River and New Bedford, the two greatest cotton manufacturing cities in the country. But it will probably surprise many to learn that it is more exterisively engaged in this industry than is -Middlesex county. Massachu setts, which contains the great cot ton factory city of Lowell.
