The reviews of Southern conditions 1 which "Mr. William JB. Curtis, the noted special correspondent of The u Chicago Record-Herald, Is sending- to . his paper from this section display characteristic Insight. Mr. Curtis sees unmistakable evidences ithat the ac tion of recent Legislatures in baiting the railroads with extreme passenger fare reductions has proved visibly unpopular and that the politicians in ever-Increasing numbers are conse quently mounting the prohibition .wave. He finds prohibition sweeping : the South with tremendous force and consequently an Ideal Issue for re placing an agitation whlh has failed to agitate. No better opportunity for . covering a .retreat ever presented It self, and the late railroad fighters are Bow seeking terms with the railroads In order to get out with as little dts credit as possible and enter or re enter with undivided attention upon the role of prohibition advocate. Un der a Raleigh date line Mr. Curtjs submits some particularly Interesting observations. "Prohibition Is absorb Jng the entire attention of the South 1 to-day," he was told by a very prom inent North, Carolina politician. "When Ires silver and the negro question were eliminated from - poll tics, this observer went on to say, "the politicians took up railway reg 'ulation as an Issue, but it wouldn't work; It wasn't popular, and they have had to drop It Now everybody who wants an office Is howling for what our Governor calls 'pro-htgh-bUion, and nobody thinks of any other question. The Church people are all In It, women and children aire marching In campaign processions add peddling tickets, and there is no Other political Issue before the peo ple. If the Prohibitionists will nomi nate a Southern man as their candi date for President they will get every electoral vote In the South." Concerning the passenger rate question proper Mr. Curtis gives two Interviews as fairly rcpresenllng North Carolina public sentiment on the eubject. We quote: . "The other evening I met a very Intel ligent woman, the principal of a rolloge for young women In this StRte, who said: 'Benslhle people hvo never okd for any reduction In railway fares. We fcavs realised that the erst of materials, the wage of railway employes and oth er expenses of the railway companies have edvsseed with everytMng else, and, at the same time, w know that railway : fares, postage stamps and newspapers ere about the only things that have not Increased In price. Therrfore wo would rather py what we have been paying or even a lime more ror hut railway tiH'is If the railway companies would give us nulcVer trains and better service. Tho Intelligent people of this .State never approved Of the legislation that cut down passenger fares, nnd I do not re- lleve the people of the country approve . It. The agitation was (started by politi cians who wanted something to tnik about and a new Issue to put In tlu-ir platforms.' " The other Interview formed pairt of Mr. Curtis' conversation with the Very prominent politician already mentioned. We follow him in quot ing: s "The people are not Interested In the passenger rate question and they will not ; stand for the reductions that were made . by law last wlntc-r because they ore eon n vinced that the railway companies enn not (rive them the service thoy demand en that hasls. They want Improvement rather than lower fares; they . would rather have double tracks and prompt , service, and are willing to nay for It. They are convinced that the railway eompanlaa hsva got to lay double tracks ; m order to maintnln thMr time schedules . uu avow aocuienut, una that they esn- ! . p,"4 fforl to make these improvements j, If their receipt are cut down. Our Gov- j . eroor has been convinced of that fact alao, and is taking a very sensible course bv consulting with the Governors of oth er Southern States, where similar condl- j fena prevail and trying to ure - i , oprsrative action throughout the South.' " j , Mr, Curtis found a great deal of dissatisfaction existing- In North Car ' Ollna against discriminative freight ; tfttes. but otherwise the antl-rallroad eglUUon impressed him as almost entirely rtlrclaU ., Bacb I 'the lmprtasion which no- ' lltlcal conditions la this 8tate and section make tipon ' a (trained and highly Intelligent observer. "We pre-, sent R not only because of Its general timeliness but because, striking veri fication has developed Since It was written. ' The Alabama . Lglslature, celled together in special session for the sole purpose f fighting railroads, dealt the railroads a few. love licks and then prohibition was to the fore, A State prohibition bill speedily rasxed the .

H the oil love before getting on v. .io;e Inc kU nt possesses unm!.-ta!.atla niiK-ance and goes to "f how that Mr. Curtl-T conclusions as Just stated can not possibly 6e very far away. M'CTE'g 'JIISfXJRTCMS NOT MRS. Deeming the "unwirltten law" con siderably below the standard of civ ilisation . which prevails In the Dis trict of Columbia and recognising that "brain storms" have been ridi culed to death, counsel for iMrs. Anna il. Bradley, ex-Senaitor Brown's slay er, are celying primarily upon the old-fashioned plea Of Insanity. They have had the good luck to discover one or more insane relatives. ' It will be recalled that when the esteemed Mr. McCne, of Charlottesville, Va., was waging a losing fight against the charge of wife-murder most : Indus trious efforts were made to gathar evidence upon which might be based & contention that he 'had at .; least some small streaks of . Insanity V in him. - His ancestry was traced far back and thence down to its remot est collateral branch, but no trace of even harmless eccentricity could be found in kith, or kin. Like the defendant himself, ( the McCues and all . the people . with whom they had ever lnter-marrled appeared to have been the shrewd, long-headed , kind such as carry all their wits with them however far wrong they may go. Thoughtlessness or lack of fore sight on their pant In not leaving theJ least record of Insanity , against some day and generation when it would be sorely needed left poor McCue at what proved a fatal disadvantage. Mrs. Bradley, Jt appears. Is more for tunate in this very Important regard. There are times when people who have no family scruples against put ting, up such a defence find insane relatives wonderfully convenient We are muoh pleased to learn, through an appreciation by Mr. Car los McLeod, of Carthage, in Satur day's paper, that Moore county holds Its famous razor-back hogs In quite as high esteem from the standpoint of strength, speed and spirited be havior as we do.

Justice has been granted where all mankind was apparently In conspiracy to deny. We hereby raise tho slogan, "A square deal to man and beast!" and Incor porate it among our mottos. The iMlfwIsslppl Supreme Court has decided that the objurgation "Go to hell" Is not profanity. "The sentence 'Go to hell,' " wrote Justice Calhmm n delivering the court's opinion, "conveys an invitation, which the pjerr son addressed need noit accept tin- less he Is inclined to do so." Incl dentally It may be remarked that the cusser In , whose favor this decision was rendered la a girl twelve years old. Governor Vardaman does not appear to have had any hand In the matter.

To the ICdttor of Tl.e Obt.ervor: Inasmuch as a good deal htm been said in the papers regarding my con troversy with the officers of the Mecklenburg Fair Association, where w :. ;i !:. ty -t his 1 ,.!!. they held up the payment to me ofjof the Treasury for approval designs the premium money I won, at their for one. two and three-cent piece, recent fnlr, I thought the Fair Asso-on which It was proponed font one of clution oilloials would ilve mo u fair the following mottoes should appear; snowing, iinu iur iiiai raiwii nave withhold saying anything tor pu t.n- cation. Having, however, been ask ed by ho many, including many of rny leading trlonds of Charlottu to do no, 1 hu v decided to say that I . did nothing wrong In regard to entering my stork nnd every animal I HikreJ as mine I on my farm, and 1 have registration papers for every one as registration paperu lor every I represented to have on that Abra sion, and I can bot'.i show the hi tick and registration papers to any one desiring to see them. This contro versy 1 regret, and It haa not been brought about because I violated any rule of the assocldtlon, nor bevaus I did any thing wrong, but b?cauna of the mistake of others, and the personal feeling of one that prefers others to get what is mine. I prefer nn honest settlement with the officials of t'ie association, and if I fall to get It. we will want to know why It was that other exhibitors coulJ keep their Stock on exhibition during the day time and then drive them home at rJght. returning next morning and not a word being said about It by the man that held my money up, and tnat unjustly, and lie knows it. - Not caring to say any more at this time, thinking it cst to withhold It till further developments, but before clOstn I want to say that every elected, official of the- fair has treated me very courteously and nice up to ths present time, and that If It was not for personal faellnr of some who have made a- failure in some things, and will injure the Fair Association if i permitted to continue monkeying with It, X would have already had my Justly earned money.

New York Evening Post. ' : The statement in President Roose velt's letter, of yesterday to the ef fect that there had been no ; warrant in law for placing the motto "In God We Trust" upon United States coins, naturally suggests the question how and by what authority did the motto get there T That question is fully answered by a report of the director of the United States Mint, reprinted in 181)7 In The Bankers' Magazine of this city. ; A first suggestion of such recogni tion of the Deity came, in 1861, from a Pennsylvania clergyman, who fear ed that antiauarlans of the. future might deduce thaV the United States had been a pagan country because of the absence of any evidence to s the contrary on Its coins. . . n i But the form of the recognition as It was finally adopted and stamped upon the gold and silver coins was determined by Salmon P. Chase, Sec retary of the Treasury In President Lincoln's Cabinet. : There was no spe cific act of Congress directing that the words "In God We Trust" be put up on the coins, but, although President Roosevelt found no "warrant in law" for the words. It Is a matter of reci'd that the Secretary of the Treasury or dered . the director of the mint to stamp them on the money, and in 18(14 Congress authorized cuen devices on the coins as should be fixed by the director with the approval of the Sec retary.,;' .-? ' :' Further legislative authority for the motto was given by, the coinage bills passed by Congress In 1865 and HISTORY OF THE CUSTOM. The report of the director of t'ie mint Is as follows: "From the records of the depart ment, it appears that the first sugges tion of the recognition of the Deity on the coins of the United Sues was contained in a letter addressed to the Secretary of the Treasury, the Hon. S. P. Chase, by the Rev. M. R. Wat ktnson, minister of the Gospel, Rid levllle, Pa., under, date of November IS, 1861, which was as follows: Rldleyvllle, Pa., Nov. 13, 1881. Dear Sir: You are about to submit your annual report to Congress te specting the affairs of the national fl nances. One fact touching our currency hrs hitherto been seriously overlookod. I mean the recognition of the Almljhty God In somo form in our coins. You are probably a Christian, What If our republic were now shnt tered beyond reconstruction? Ws.ild not the antiquarians of succeeding centuries rightly reason from our pav that we were a heathen nation? What I propose Is that, Instead of the god dess of liberty, we shall oave nert In side the thirteen stars a ring inscrib ed with the word, "perpetual un ion;" within this ring the all-seeing eye, crowned with a halo; beneath this eye the American flag, bearing In Its field stars equal to the number of the States united; In the folds of the bars the words, "God, liberty, law." This would make a beautiful coin to which no posalble citizen could ob Ject. This would relieve us from the Ignominy of heathenism. This would place u openly tinder the Divine pro tection we have personally claimed. From my heart I have felt our na tional shame In disowning God os not the least or our present national sub ject that must be agitated. M. R. W ATKINSON, Minister of the Gospel, Hon. 8. P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury. "Under date of November 20, 1861, tno Secretary of the Treasury address ed the following letter to the director of the mint Treasury Department, November 20, 1861. Dear Sir: No nation can be strong except In the strength of God, or safe except In his defence. The trust of our people In God should be declared on our national coins. You will cause a device to1 be pre pared without unnecessary delay with a motto expressing In the fewest and tersest words possible this national recognition. Yours truly, S. P.
