'4 , CIIARLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER,"' JANUARY 23, 1SG3, UWwlolttQIwmtv J. JP. CALDWELL, v- TTESDAY, JAKUARY 2, 10. - , MR. TA1T IN CHJUtLESTON. Ot course they gave Mr. Teft a banquet la Charleston, Deacon Hemp : hOI doing the honors, and of course Mr. Taft expressed himself very . Jleaantly. Hia Interest In the Qn : der. Which at one time menaced his lection to the presidency, was frank and forgiving. He expressed gral desire to take the famous North Caro lina bird to Panama with him as a mascot a hint to which, we fear, the Charlestonians, who now regard the . Gander as the proudest possession of their city, were politely deaf. Mr. Taft said, further: "We have had some discussion as to the deptn of water over the Charleston bar, but the Charleston bar hits bwn vin dicated. The North Carolina r.as come In, and has not scratched her bottom at all. I have no doubt the Montana will, too. I don't think If she had gone aground Deacon Hemphill could have survived, end that was the only reason why 1 hesi tated to ask the Secretary of the Navy to try It. But you have not the water In Charleston harbor for a great harbor, and don't see any reason why if we have these great :aval vessels that they should not coma into our harbors In order that they may tli:d lie way at times when it may be necessary for them to pod It." Moreover, Mr. Taft said: "I observe that the menu to-Blght coo tains the moras 'on the way to Panama.' od that Deacon Hemphill has arranged the map according to Admiral Dickens's tatement as to the distance of Charles ton from Panama. 1 don't know whut te distance tram Charleston to Panama Is. as compared with New Orleans, Pen aacola and Galveston. I never measured It wfth a divider myself, and I am not aroint" to, because I observe that Deacon llemphlll has satisfied the conscience of a rum her of inland editors that Admiral Dickens was exactly right when he nald that Charleston was nearer tn Panama than any other port. All I know is that ft la the most convenient port to reach Panama." It must have been, as one of our North Carolina bards wrote in a Salis bury paper concerning another affair. "ea occasion of much remembrance. ' ttAFT AND THE OFrXCE-HOIiDKRM. An Augusta special to The .New Tork Qlobe from a staff correspondent tales as a positive fact that l'resl-deot-eluct Taft has decided to discon tinue the "referee system" of dlstrih- , siting Federal patronage In the South. "The referee system." It la explained, ; "has been considered the root and '. eajuse of all the objectionable features t In the Southern Republican party. Un der Its operation two or three men In i each State have constituted them selves a committee to decide who Should get the Federal appoint ments In their Commonwealth. Owing to t!.e , .olitlnal remoteness of the South, the government at Washington linn heetj accustomed to take these mens recommendations as final and 1 conclusive, and to make the appoint ments according to tneir recommen Js,Uons, Under this regime the Fed , eral offices In the South have been manipulated in a manner which, ban . not helped the Republican party In any oi tnu states. " We can well believe that Mr. Taft's ,i Intentions are as here deftcrlbed. Kvery word accords with his notable Oreens rOrO speech of several years ago. In States like North Carolina. Virginia and Tennessee the "referee system" of the black-belt Mates, where there In . Virtually no Republican parly outside the office-holders can hardly be said iO ftaist, but the Republicans of these rwhlter states will douhtlcs find !Wahlnsrton a centre of purlflng In fluence ruther than rf parronsne fraught with demoralization. Mr. Tatt U have little patience with fly-blow-Ids; or anything of that nature. It will te a better day for both partlr-H, for the) country as a whole and for the South as a section. - A RKOOKI) OK MIAMI. Replying In yesterday's observer to .communication of a few days as" alleging a plan on foot to cut off a part of Madison county and altach It to Buncombe for political reason., a correspondent from Marshall said In part: . -"They freferrlns to the board of com missioners of Madison decided a year fro to build a new county home for the r-auPWS. and, after advertising lor bhls fosjna that a Democrat was the lowest bidder, so In order to save something to the county they decided to throw out all Lids and build the home themselves by tabor. When settling time came two r three of tbelr henchmen had 'ved' gj.609 and the county 'paid tlw freight ' In. December they derided to make an other 'saving by retting out the keeping of the home to the lowest bidder, en. h trld being secured by bond: but when ' tha bids were opened the wrong man hid ' too low aspaJn. and so they let It to the highest bidder, thereby 'savins' another gnug sum to one of their heelers snd ai tha expense of the county. In the face of : these facts, can any one wonder win some of tha cltixens of Madison wish to ecaaeT - If tha facts are as stated and we OAVe BO doubt they are- the wonder is that all the citUens of the county Who are not craft beneficiaries do not Wish to secede. Madison is rock-rib-be4 Republican and always has been, and In View of the above recital Re public as should sing low about Dem ocratic misdoings in North Carolina until after those charges have been explained away. Oat friends of The Industrious ere ertalntjT engaged In a merry war among" themselves. The statement of District Attorney Holton. published this morning, is the latest contribution to 'tha inner history of the affaira of that atorm-tosae contemporary. Ve again point with pride to the Korth CaroHna Legislature, It is one of . the -. beat-behaved parliamentary bod tea coming- within .our noUce for roany yeara, and in contrast with Ooa rrees and tha Tennessee and California Legislatures It shines like tha sun. Somebody please call off tha Golf 'ream and sick, on tha ground hag; his weather is getting to much; , OTISAXCES TO RE ABATED. -. 'Chief or Police Cbrlstenbury ia en titled to tha gratitude of tha city for hia announced purpose to have en forced tha ordinance forbidding; roller skating en tha oemeot pavements. This is a very great nuisance and an noyance to people who are obliged to walk the street and relief from It win be welcomed. The chief deserves no less commendation on account of his purpose to stop expectoration on the pavements, and the dropping of bana na, orange and other peelings on them. Roller skating la an annoyance and Involves more or less danger to pedes trians, who inuBt stop and stand aside when they cannot dodge; the street expectoration denies the skirts of ladies, is an offence to the sensibilities of all genteel people and an exhibi tion of ill manners on the part of the offender; the casting of peelings on the pavements Is a crime. A lady was thrown on the street Saturday night, from this cause, and suffered the dis location of a shoulder. Prof. Alex, Oraham tells that while walking on South Tryon street, some months ago, with a man who weighs nearly two hundred pounds, hla companion slipped on a banana peeling and drop ped, more suddenly than If he had been shot, on the stone sidewalk, with hie full weight on his right knee. Prof. Graham says he never saw such a fall. 'Why the knee was not shatter ed Into small fragments of bone will ever remained a mystery. Charlotte Is In nearly all respects a model city and life In It, generally so agreeable and so safe, should not be attended by the nuisances and dangers here enumerated. We rejoice that there Is to be an end of them. A CLEAR CASE. A friend has gent us a copy of handsome pamphlet magazine of thirty pugcH, entitled "Northward, Ho! Covering Maine's Inland Re sorts" an advertising Journal, as its name Implies published monthly at Lewlston, Maine; and these lines, sur mounted by an eagle, appear as Its in troductory page: "NORTHWARD-HOI "Here's to the Land of spruce and pine, The Northern Dand with air like wine Where bright lakes nestle 'mid em'rald hills And woodlands sparkle with silver rills Where grim mountain peaks of purple hue. Sink Into skies of purest blue; Where there's health and peace, and sport and reat, And life la lived at Its very best; Where ths weak grow strong and strong. grow great. Here's to Northward-Ho!- the Pine Tree State"' There was never a balder plagiar ism. Note, if you please. Mrs. Mar tin's exquisite and familiar toast to North Carolina: " Here's to the Land of the Ing Leaf Pins: The Summer Land, where the Sun doth shine; Where the weak grow Btrong and the strong grow great- Here's to, Down Home, the Old North State.' " This is the case for the State. But it must be admitted that the plagiarist dlil his work well. The adaptation is capital. A week airo this morning a negro attempted to commit an atrocious crime In Sampson county and his arrest followed promptly. There were threats of lynching and troops had to be called out. They were dismfssoci after a time, but the threats were re newed, the troops called again to pro tect the Jail and yesterday the negro was taken to the penitentiary. A crime of a similar sort was attempted In Stanly county a few weeks ago and was followed by similar threats. Af ter the usual delay the negro was brought to Charlotte. Canes of like kind aro of not Infrequent occur rence, and the question arises. If there n a Herious purpose to avert lynching why delay, utter the rirtt muttering Is lizard, the removal of the criminal to a place of safety? Ills presence In the community of the rime is a constant Irritant and If the law is to bo enforced and the peace of mind as well as the actual peace of the community in to be conserved, the sooner, be l. (j"tten away the better. Mr. Ilryant gave In yesterday's Observer a correct outline of Mr. Zach McCihec s bo.ik. "The Dark Corner." It is not political, sectional or racial but in the Interest of the educational uplift, nnd Is Inspiring In telling, largely through the medium of a love story, how one brave, earnest, am bilitoiiB young man. sacrificing his life's ambition to win distinction In the law, determined to break the shackles of Ignorance which bound a county, one corner of It with strongest rivets, and absolutely redeemed it from its low estate. The book, strongest and most moving in Its clos ing chapters, well repays the reading. In an unguarded moment we con sented. Saturday, to print, Sunday, an unsigned anti-medical depository com munication. This morning we print a communication of equal length in reply. Subsequent communications on either side of the question, signed or unsigned, will be printed in the adver tising columns at twenty cents the line. Washington specials Indicate that Congress as a body is overwhelmingly opposed to the appointment of a tariff commission, we neve already said that nothing else was to be expected and given the reason why. The in disposition of the politician to yield any ground to the non-partisan .ex pert Is very strong. "My Shakespeare's eurse on knave - ar clown , ' That will sot 1st his ashes resL So some re a friend of the late ex Senator Carmsck. of Tennessee, mlrM say to the people who have been in voking his name as sanction for the meet reckless and unscrupulous eon duct In furtherance of their schemes. t- Jimmle Calne, rood fellow, deposes and says t hist Asheville Citizen, that last year Charlotte proclaimed her self ha Convention Ctty;" that that was Aahevtlle'i oft rear but that now she has -resumed her legitimate role of ConrenUon City of the South" and has thirteen booked for May and June with "others, too numerous to mention, in July and August," and "alaa for glories that are fleeting." So far eo good, but the year la not yet a month old and Jimmle Calne, before flapping hla wings any more, should get down his little Bible and read In I Kings 30:11: "And the king of Israel answered and said. Tell him. Let not him that glrdeth en his har ness boast himself as he that putteth tt off." If Jimmle Calne would in hie memory these few precepts keep and govern himself by them, he will feel better next Christmas and enjoy a better reputation as a prophet than If he continues his unseemly boasting while the year ia young. Those selfish Charlestonlans who re fused to let Mr. Taft bear the Gander away to Panama on the good ship North Carolina deserve the bad opin ion of all American patriots. Not only would the great bird afford Mr. Taft a mascot beyond comparison and serve as a most fitting palladium for the North Carolina In battle the thought of capture for the Gander would stimulate the crew to heroic efforts but no better omen for the Panama canal could possibly be de sired. Just because the Bryan hoodoo proved Invincible no one need make the mistake of supposing that Charles ton's pride lacks potency as a luck brlnger. We should feel fairly well assured of the canal's early com pletion were but the Oander aboard the North Carolina at this moment. One of several consolations attach ing to this hot January weather Is that It delights the shad fishermen on the coast, where the season has al ready opened. Not so very many years ago shad came up Into pied mont North Carolina through the Yadkin and Catawba rivers, and the Narrows, on the first-named stream, was a famous fishery; but that good day is past. Under present conditions shad do not make for headwaters so determinedly as , they once did, their numbers are fewer, and Anally, the dwellers In the land of dispensaries and hum historians stretch nets across the streams and cut them off. That was a i?reat stunt which an Ok lahoma attorney did the other day when he pulled from his pocket a small American flag and waved it over the head of a Rough Rider on trial for murder. But what In the world did the man's Spanish war record have to do with the question of his guilt or Innocence? It would be time to talk war record when the court was Imposing sentence or when the case had come before the pardon ing power. Since his election to the presidency, and especially In the past few weeks since he has been one of the us, the South has pretty generally arrived at the conclusion concerning Judge Taft that he is a good citlsen. Many of us know about the old darkey who, shivering In a January blast, drew hia coat closely around him and asked: "Whar wus you las' July?" But he couldn't say anything of the kind this January. TRAVKUSO MAN SATISFIED. One Knight of the) Grip Who Does Not Kick on En-harm o of Mileage For Th'ket Wants to See Corpora tions Tr em ul Fairly. To the Editor of The Observer: I notice that a bill has been Intro duced in the Senate compelling the railroads to accept on the trains mile age for passenger fares Instead of as at present to exchange mileage for tickets. It is true that It is some trouble to the passengers to exchange their mileage for tickets, but it is no more trouble or takes any more time than it does for the passenger who has no mileage to buy a ticket, and the holder of the mileage rides for 2 cents a mile while the one who buys his ticket pays tVt cents. This exchang ing of mileage for tickets Is no new Innovation; It has been In use for vears. The Central Passenger Asso ciation, which includes Indiana. Ohio, Illinois and Michigan; also the West ern passensrrr Association, which In rludes the territory west of the Mis sissippi river, have used this method for years. I write as a traveling man. who since April let. 1I0S. when this system went Into effect, has bought and used himself nine or ten 1,000- mile southern Railway books. Only a day or so ago I got on the train without a ticket and. with my mileage In my pocket, I paid cash fare. It would he a convenience, I admit. If the conductors on the trains would accept mileage tor tares; out tor onn I am satisfied with tha present sys tem and am willing- to exchange my mileage for a ticket, and think that any legislation that proposes to dis turb the pleasant relatione now exist ing between the railroads and the people, especially under the present business conditions, la unfortunate, not only for' the rallroada hut for our State. I want it understood that I am writing this letter as a business, man who gets no special favors from the railroads and who has not had the pleasure of riding on' a pass for more than twelve years; but I de want to see the rallroada and corporations treated fairly and Justly. Let us have peace. W. B. WHITE. Mebane, Jan. lid. 110. Carload of Mule Turned , Loose tn FnyettevUle. FayettevUIe Observer, lid.

DIXEXDS MB. II.. g. EEAWEXTj. Ex -Judge Mclver, of ; OarUiare, De , Clares Appointee to Esstera District Judgeship Thorongttly Competent to Mold the Kessponaiblo OfUoe Peer of Any Lawyer, of Wluuever Party, f an the State. - - vr ... . , , Te the Editor of The Observer? Tt Is hot often that I put' myself Into the public prints of the State, hut I hare read the unsigned communica tion and your editorial - - thereon . in yeur yesterdays paper in regard to the eastern Federal' judgeship. While the public has not the benefit ef the gentleman's name who send you the communication, and he la doubtless a learned lawyer, as yen say. if he in tended Inferentlally to argue against the presidential appointment already made, I will wager be has never measured eworda at the bar with Mr. Seawell, the appointee. The office of district Judge ta by no means a amall office, and It calls for a high order of ability, especially when this officer is called upon to ait upon the Circuit Courf of Appeala. Doea any one suppose that the Pres ident did not know this when he ap pointed Mr. Seawell I am Inform, ed that when Mr. Seawell'a name was presented to the President, he Imme diately wired to an acquaintance of his, an associate Justice of our Su preme Court, who. stands second to no member of that high tribunal In the estimation of the bar of the State aa a lawyer and a man, and received reply that the Judge knew Mr. Sea well personally and that he was a man of courage and learning and patriotism and that the President would make no mistake in naming him to be district Judge. Mr. Seawell practiced before me while I was on the bench, and I have had occasion to observe him in the practice since I left the bench and to try many cases In which he was as sociated as counsel, and I do not hesi tate to subscribe to the estimate placed upon him by this member of our pres ent Supreme Court. Mr. Seawell made one of the best solicitors our State ever had, and has made good In every position, and I conaider him now the peer of any lawyer, of what ever party, in point of character and ability, in the State. The character of his work as special master, ap pointed by the United States Circuit Court, in winding up the affairs of the Carolina Northern Railroad and Southern sawmills, some years ago, has been very highly spoken of by Judges competent to know. It Is said he Is young. So much the better. He will grow, and the future historian will be glad to re "ord an honorable career on the bench rather than chronicle the fact that a great old lawyer fell into the Judgeship and the grave about the hihii time. Mr. Seawell Is In his fortieth year, more than a year older than Judge Iredell when commissioned for the Supreme Court of the United States, older by several years than Judge 3tory when elevated to the same bench, and older than President-elect Taft when appointed a United States irrult Judge. I most probably will never appear before the United States District nourt again, and cannot be charged with any disposition to "stand In" with the Judge. This charge insinu ated by one paper agslnst the law ve:s who have endorsed Mr. Seawell. 1 consider a very gross slander. All the lawyers of the bar of this coun ty and practically all the lawyers. of 'he counties composing the seventh judicial district, where Mr. Seawell Is eo well known, I am informed, have added cheerful testimony to Ills character and ability as a lawyer and i man and hla fitness to be i'ldjre, a3 well as a great many other lawyers o the State, including ibout a dozen Judgus and ex-Judges -t the Supreme and Superior Courts of the State. It rannot be that so many of our profession could at once be guilty of such great duplicity and want of character. As one who has always been a Democrat, I trust that there wJU be no attempt to hold up Mr. Seawell'a confirmation, for. in my opinion, no better selection from any party In :he State can be made for this high position. JAMES D. MTVER. Carthage, Jan. 25th, 1909. SEAWELL NOT SO VOVTHFl'Ii. He Is 3, and Instance Are Given Where Others Received Appoint ments to Judgeships at Same Age Another Testimonial as to His Judicial Ability. To the Editor of The Observer: In your editorial of the 21st Inst., concerning the eastern Federal Judge ship, there is nothing uncomplimen tary to Mr. Seawell, of this place, who has been appointed. However, you refer to him In two Instances as a "young man." Your editorial, which seema to me to be eminently fair and Judlrtous, does not even count his youth as a reason why his appoint ment should not have been made. In this connection It may be interest ing to your readers who are not ac quainted with the facts to know that Mr. seawell Is not so youthful. He was born August Sth. 186, and is now something over tt years old. Age does not subtract from, but that it has never been considered a neces sary qualification for the Judgeship is abundantly proven by the history of the State and nation. North Carolina has had two Justices, of the United States Supreme Court. James Iredell, the first, was 'only years old when appointed to that high tribunal, and Alfred Moore, the other, wae only H yeats of age. In North Carolina we have had young men on the Supreme and Superior Court benches who have discharged the duties of the offices with credit to the State and honor, to themselves. Judge Settle waa under 40 when made a Justice of our Su preme Court: while the late Judge Fred Moore and Judge Star buck were lesa than 10, and Judges Ward and Biggs under 40 when elected to the Superior Court bench, Tou state further that we Demo crats have no Interest In the matter, exevpt te see that the appointee "be a capable and proper person." This means, as I understand it, that the appointee should be a lawyer poaseaa ing a sufficient knowledge of the law. of Judioial temperament and good moral character, no one nas saia, and no one ean say. aught against the character of Mr. BeawslL That much seems to be beyond controversy. Hla experience In the. active practice has extended from the criminal prac tice in the State atad Federal courts, through theVivlt courts of the State end the most Intricate equity practice ia the' Federal courts. During; this practice Mr. Seawell has appeared 'be fore many eminent Judges and .with many of the State s most prominent attorneys.. The judges and lawyers, therefore.' have had opportunity to test hie knowledge of the law and his temperament. Something; like four teen Judges and ex-Judges and more than ISO lawyers ot this district have aaked for his appointment, and have cheerfully testified that in their Judg ment Mr. Seawell ia "capable and a proper person. j -The lawyers of North Carolina, aa a class, are men of character, intelli gence and patriotism, end no man in thta State eaa receive, the unsolicited endorsements from so many Judge and lawyers who ia aot qualified la learning, temperament and character to fiU this, high position.

Fifty years sgo no gentleman would smoke in the presence of a lady- without permis sion, ttow you see men smoking when walking or riding with ladles, even blow ing tobacco smoke In their faeea, I have had personal experience with nicotine poisoning, suffered with Insom nia, vertigo and nervous heart, could not lie on my left side for years, and was almost at death's door when I stopped using tobacco seventeen years ago the lth of this month. I gained 25 pounds in weight In one year, and since then I have not realised that I had a heart In this day men cannot assemble, even at the banquet board, without filling the air with ths foul odor of tobacco smoke. It would not seem strange then. If we were classed as a nation of tobacco fiends, slaves to .the tobacco habit, and drinkers of strong drink. The question has been asked, "what would Jesus do?" And I reverently ask, how would it look for our blessed Lord, the divine healer, to appear In public with a cigarette or cigar In His mouth, or to visit a refined, slok lady with His breath and clothes reeking with the odor of tobacco, and the lapels of coat and shirt bosom bespattered with ambeer, and ambeer dripping from the comers of His mouth t Are not many of our undivlne healers doing this? Good Lord, deliver us! In 18S I mads an effort to Introduce tobacco growing In Chowan county, N. C . for which I hope God will forgive me. I planted twenty-seven sores of land In tobacco, and cured It In one barn on wired Bticks with eight cords of wood, and raised a crop which took a tobacco expert from 8tokes county, N. C six months to grade. Sold the crop at fair prices, even selling the aweeplngs of the floor for alx cents a pound for smoking (obscco, and made nothing on the ven ture. The crop takes a whole year and a part of the next to get clear ot It. If I could make nothing then with farm labor coating half of what it does now, how can It be a profitable crop nowT I have Ashed seine in northeastern North Caro lina when It took from fifty to one hun dred hands to work the seine" and take of the fish. I have raised truck for the Northern markets, employing over one hundred women and children daily to pick I he garden pea crop, and I have raised stock., grain and hay in the mountains of Virginia with fair success; but 1 have never engsged In any pursuit In which there was less profit thun the raising of tobacco. But even if tobacco raising was profitable. If Its use lowers vitality and lessens the power of reiistance. thereby facilitating the spread of tuberculosis, cut It out. Obey the command. Matthew 5 29-3(1, "And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out. etc." "And if thy right hand olfend thee cut It off." Dr. Heeler's paper was a gem and sx ceeriinrtv heloful. but in addition. 1 would suggest. Instead of sweep. .ig the dust and dirt from the churches and other places of publlo assembly, to be blown back through the doors and windows, and instead of dusting the furnishings Ith the worthless feather duster, there by flllinit the air with dust and bacteria to be redeposlted, cleanse the buildings with the vacuum cleaner, and the dust of the agea thus collected, and the myriads of bacteria contained therein, should be cremated. Instead of criticising the family physi cian for failure to make an early diag nosis of tuberculosis, would It not be hnr io tell him to administer iodide of I potash to produce advanced sputum for I thna rivlnr. It may be, birth to the so-called sdvanced thought.
