Under wood a few days ago returned Irora Washington, where he at tended a nation-wide conference in behalf of the passage of the Kenyon-Sheppard-Webb- McCum ber bill now before Congress. This bill is a composition affair, tne outcome of persistent effort on the part of temperance ho ple throughout the United Stases. It is pretty well explained by Su perintendent PurleyA. Baker, of the Anti-Saloon League as fol lows: The Kenyon Shepperd bill is of no earthly con?ern to any lawful sa'oon keeper or liqt or dealer of any kind. It will not interfere with and is not intended to inter fere with any legitimate traffic in liquor. It affects in no manner the tratfiic iu wine for the sacra ment, for medical purposes, or alcohol for mechanical, industri- , al and scientific purposes. "It will not interfere in the slightest with anv licensed saloon keeper anwhere in the United States. The bill is directed solely at liquor that is being shipped for speakeasies, joints, blind ti gers, etc., which now get their supplies under the protection of the interstate commerce law, and in defiance of State legisla tion. 'The United States govern ment has no business thus to use federal power to thwart the ef forts of the Btates to protect themselves from the liquor traf fic through prohibition or local option laws. "It is to protect against the interference with the police pow ers of the states that has led the governors all over the union to appoint 300 delegates to the conference. The peoplehave clam ored for relitf from this outrag- eous wrong for twenty years. 'If anybody cares to makehini- self the champion of the blind ti gers and speakeasies of the na tion, he can do so by merely op posing this legislation, "After the Ken.von bill passes and beeomes a law, which i t promises to do, thestateauthor- ities will he asked to confine the holding in liquor olone raanto a quart. The law would make it prima facie evidence that a man is guilty of violating the lawif he has in his possession more than a quart of liquor," The Kenyon bill does not pur port to prevent individuals in prohibition states from ordering their liquor. But its tendency will be to restrict these orders to per son consumption; and temper ance people will 6eek to supple ment the national legislation by having legislatures in prohibition states make the purchase of more than one quart prima facie evi dence of eutent to engage in illi cit selling. The Kenyon bill is based o 11 correct principals. Its purpose is to prevent so far as possible "speakeasies" or ''blind tigers" from nullifying public sentiment in prohibition states by selling liquor contrary to law. It would go far toward guaranteeing pro hibition to the people, if they vote for it. People oughtto have what they authorize by their bal lots; but under the present sys tem they don't get it.

Drives Off a Terror. The chief executioner of daath in the winter and spring months is pneumonia. Its adyance agents are colds and grip. In any attack hy one of these maladies ro time should be lost in taking the best medicine ob tainable to drive it off. Countless thousands have found this to be Dr. King's New Discovery.

Guaranteed for all bronchial affections. Price 5cts. and $1.00. Trial bottles free at all druggists, Compulsory Education. Charlotte Sew. On Saturday Representative Dillinger, of Gaston county, in tro Jued iu the lower branch of the a bill providing for a com pulsory school law requiring the children between the ages ol sev en and twelve to attend school each year. County superintendents would lie created insKctorH, under the law. with authority to investi gate mills and lactones and se tliHt children of the required age are kept in the schools. A new day has dawned in X C, one ot industrial development njt bt fore dreamed. All at once as it ware, we have nalized that we have resources of many kinds within our bounds whose intelli gent development will bring ines timable wealth to the date. It will require intelligence to effect intelligence to effect this devel opment. Nothing so enhances the resources and assets of a state or community as general intelligence. Nothing tends so to improve social conditions, to elevate politics, to promote pub lic morals and raise the standard ol citizenship so much as educa tion. One can not cut wood rapidly with a dull ax, and the dull mind makes equally slow progress in doing those taHksset baloreman. In Norf h Carolina acompulsory school law is to be pressed before the legis'ature which convenes tomorrow. It is a step upward, a step toward that development which is necessary for the right kind ol citizenship. The News earnestly hopes that legislators will give this bill that carelul attention which it merits. We trust that they will remem ber the powerful popular senti ment backing it up. We are going forward in the bnsiness world hy leaps and bounds. We are growing in wealth We are building new factories and railroads. Let us keep the cause of education ou the up gradefor it is ot equal importance with and question of material growth. Give us a compulsory school law. It has blessed other states. It will do the same for our own. California Woman Seriously A' armed. "A short time ago I contracted a severe cold which settled on my lungs and caused me a great ileal of annoyance.

Fatalities From Pistol "Toting." Lenoir Topic. The two recent homicides in Caldwell, as well as nearly all the ! murders taat have occurred in this vicinity in recent years, are the direct result of the practice of carrying concealed weapons. Insteal of these tragedies check ing the evil, it appears that the nabit is growing all the time. The only hope is for the gcod people ol the country to unite in the determination to put theevil down in some way. They would be greatly helped by more strin gent legislation, making the pen alty for the violation of the law more severe, and allowing offi cers to search parties Buspected of guilt.
