WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21. !) THE ASHET1IXE MIRDER CASE The Suteavllle Landmark copies The Observer's comments on the case Of John Burcfafleld. the Ashevllle tough whft killed a hack-driver in prefer ence to paying his fare, thinks that cnhtiiit mav immo ud a case of WHvu.'w ! elf-defense, because it Is In alleged evidence that the hack-driver called him a liar. "If calling one a liar Is an aasault," says The Landmark, "the ame as a blow, words calculated and intended to bring on a fight. It will be argued of oourse that Burchfleld had cause for action, even If it be admitted that his action was a little hasty and extreme." That seems to Indicate that Burchfleld's plea will be ielf-defenae. Instead of tnimnlty. The Landmark is doubtful if Burchfleld will get anything more thai murder in the second deee. If that much. But coming to the serious feature of thla ease. The Landmark "agree with The Observer that Burchfleld de eerves the death penalty, and as a matter of protection to society It Should be Inflicted. But we are stat ing conditions as they are, not as they should be or as we would have them. Society has small protection against the combination of desperado, whiskey and pistol, says The Observ er. It has, and this statement Is the severest arraignment of our modern civilization that can be made. In this land of Christian civllliatlon, and right here in Noath Carolina, one can slay his fellow with almost abso lute assurance that his life will not pay the penalty. Hence, no one is safe and under circumstances our Is a condition of lawlessness, especially so far as the graver offenses are concern ed." For this non-protection of so ciety. The Landmark properly holds that society Itself Is responsible. It says that if all the people who fa vor a strict enforcement of the law and the Infliction of its penalties with out quibbling and nearly all of them do would make their Influence felt, thla condition would be speedily changed. But while there Is a protest here and there, we go along acqules ,cing In the conditions, permitting them to continue, and are thus par tie to the lawlessness which exlsta" A strict enforcement of the laws, less maudlin sentiment for criminals, less executive clemency, will serve to bring about a more wholesome sentiment And tend to the greater safety of society. What It might have said: Fayettevllle is at the head o! navi gation on the Cape Fear rvr 12 0 miles northwest from Wilmingrni. Population 10.000. IU transportation facilities by rail are the Atlanta Coast Line, the Cape Fear A Tadktn Valley the Raleigh A Cap Fear railroads, and by water, via the Cape Fear river to Wilmington. It is a centre of cotton manufacturing development, having the Holt-Morgan Mills. Holt-Wlltlam-son Manufacturing Company. Hope Mills Manufacturing Company. Lake View Manufacturing Company. Tolar Hart and Holt Mills, Victory Manufac turing Company cotton mills. It Is al so the centre of a fine cotton produc ing area and a truck farming area, having made a special development In the production of lettuce. Before the civil war a I'nlted States arsenal was located here, but It was destroy ed by Sherman and has not since been re-eetahllshed. It has bttulithi streets, four hanks with deposits rap- Idly increasing, one fine hospital and one fine private sanatorium and a $40,000 steel bridge connecting up the country east of the river. It has the best newspaper In middle Carolina. solid Sojth he does not mean that th South is going to turn Republi can. It can be broken and yet re main Democratic. Whet Mr. Banks contends it that "other questions, such as the tariff and currency and bank in, which are national In their t.readth. will take the place of the former one iaaue with the gouthern people, and that they will he again di v'dd on them as they were In ante bellum days." That there la a ten dency in that direction is already made spparent by the changed attitude of some of the Southern Democrats In Congress. It Is becoming manifest that a new commercial spirit Is spring- 1 in up in tne fcoum, ana. wniie times arr- 1 hanging, it does not neceasarily toll 11 that the South must become Republican to gst what it wants. The P..uth is simply manifesting a dispo sition to get out of the old rut, for Ite own good and Its own prosperity. i. V 3 (Qp! XO "OPEt SUNDAY" FAVORED. GATE CITY KEYS ITEMS. THE RETURN OF FLAGS. At Spottsylvanla Court House, next month, the survivor of a Federal command are to restore to a Confed erate command, a battle flag that was captured forty-five years ago. The Philadelphia Evening Times, com menting on thle forthcoming event, is impressed with the changed condi tions that time has brought about. "A generation since." It says, "and All the South disdained Ite men who fought under Northern banners. Leas than a generation since and all the politicians of the North rallied under the bloody shirt. So recent a Presi dent as Grover Cleveland waa ridl - cnled And despised for an order to r 1 turn to the South the trophies of its . vanquishment. 'The rebels and their traitor friend In the White House.' 1 was a phrase used in the national capital In reference to that effort by " Democratic President. Tet, to-day. A' Northern State goes to the battle field where such a trophy waa cap-- tared, and through Its official repre entativee hands back the shreds of Silk and bunting whirh once meant r, 0 hitter an antagonism."' The North hia been slow to wake up to the fart '.that this is a reunited country. The jiving back of battle flags Is an old etory. The South has returned to the North many more than the North has returned to the South, because the South had the larger stock. The South baa long, since forgotten that there waj La wa,and these little exchanges of courtesies, now becoming rarer as the years roll around, only sere to arouse memories of a time that was- memories that while cherished, have ceased to carry bitterness with them. LIBERIA. The Republic of Liberia Is In a bad way. Something like one hundred years ago Liberia was set up as an Independent republic, in some decree under the patronage of the United States. It was thought that with the negro republic In Africa, all liberated slaves might be sent there and that it might ultimately become a coun try for ell the negroes of the United State. But It has not prospered. Li beria Is fertile In soil and great in resources, but Its people don t seem o govern well. The republic Is In debt to England, and a part of try country has been ceded to France. The United States has Just appoint ed a commission of three to go there and Investigate what the real condl- ions are. England la pleased, be cause It may mean the ultimate as sumption of the English debt by the United 8tates. flermany Is not pleas ed, because the Germans control the rubber trade end otherwise exercise the largest Influence In the republic. The reports are that the population Is axy. Improvident and that bribery is common. The best thing for the Unit ed States to do If they want to do anything at all, Is to send a commis sion of white men to tske chsrge of he republic and straighten out its af fairs, ultimately relinquishing home rule as fast and no faster than the natives seem capable of assuming the responsibility. That ultimate period might be fifty years, and it might be one hundred and fifty, but It Is prob ably not In the very near future. Many of the tribes are half savage. The area of Liberia is about equal to that of the 8tate of Tennessee. CHARIOTTE S VIOLETS. Charlotte, tne "Queen City." derived Its name from Princess Charlotte, of Mecklenburg-Strelltx, who married George the Third, hence, the name of the city, Charlotte, the county Meck lenburg, and further, the "Queen City." which in itpelf carries a dignity to. be proud of Aa one wanders around the city In early spring, It seems it might aptly be called the "City of Vlolet.." Since the ladies have taken hold of putting things in I OTHER THINGS THAN COTTON, j One of the most Important changes taking place In the South la the reve llation that there are many other I things which may be produced upon jlhe farm, with better profit than cot ton. In the past, cotton has practi cally monopolized the attention of the people of the south. Now, the atten tion of people is beginning to be at tracted to manufacturing, mining, commerce, and diversified agriculture. In the latter there lies, perhaps, the greatest prosperity of the South. The difference In climate here and four to five hundred miles north, Is In Itself, an aaael. This condition. when coupled with the fertility of the soil, makes a country cspable of producing great values. Formerly there were not the transportation facilities neces sary to make this situation profitable. But now. when transportation devel opment Is sufficient to put the prod ucts of this section Into the Northern markets, at least one month ahead of the native products there, it Is Im possible to estimate what prosperity may be reached out of this eltuatlon. It Is noticed that President Taft and cabinet consider Charleston the Pan ama embarkation and landing place. Aside from Charleston's advantage as the nearest port on the route, there Is a charm about the city and Its peo ple that counts In its favor. Some of these days Charleston is going to have both ships and skyscrapers. One good thing about the Charlotte municipal campaign is that even If It Is sweet. It Is short. It is not often that so much oratory is heard and ao much shoe leather thinned down on the cement pavements as will be the case for three days in Charlotte, tnls week It Is a strenuous time on but ton holes. Charlotte's growth is largely due to her hospitality to strangers. The Massachusetts Yankee, the hoosler of the Northwest and the bloody English man, are equally welcome. Any 01 all of these soon become as natives In participation In the affairs of the city. HOW REP.

Let the good work go on, and the strangers who walk along our streets and stoop to pluck the sweet, modest, little vlo lets aa they go along, majr find In our Queen City, an heartsease, the world may never know. "Because the seeds of memory's desert blown Spring) up in heartsease such knew " as Eden One of the greatest "ho.ne-golng" schemes on foot is that of Irish In America to the old country, next year. It is proposed To get up an excursion of 50,000. and the probabilities are that it will be a go. though the crowd may fall short of the figures named. With a proper arrangement of trans portation and reasonable ratea. It would seem quite likely that the Irish home-going would be a notable event. Of course, all the pilgrim would re turn to America and In many cases would bring home-folks with them. It might not. therefore, be such a good thing for Ireland. In that It would serve to still further depopulate that country. Charlotte is going to push SO. 000 population mighty close In the census . m o. Says The Durham Herald: "When it is remembered the many good things that have been said of Char lotte's coming celebration It will be seen that It Js up T8 her to -make good." And Charlotte will do that, never fear. The finest reviewing stand ever erected In the State is now al most completed, committees sre busy day and night carrying out all ar rangements, and. best of , all. Char lotte has the money to put the cele bration through in fine shape. Opposed Every Amendment For Free Lumber Offered in the House Finds Former Correction Waa Not Widely Noticed. To the Krtltor of The Observer. I write to call your attention to an error in your Waahlnglnn correspond ent s special, which appeared In your Issue of the 10th instant, and to ask Republican CAndldaLe For Mayor In terprets His Platform as to Sun day Laws. To the Voters of Charlotte: Having been honored with the nomination for mayor by the Re publicans of th city, I take the only method left me to Issue an open circular setting forth my position as the candidate of the Republican party. I notice In to-day's Observer, in the head lines, an account of our con vention last night, a statement which is misleading and .calculated to de-1 celve a good many voters regarding j an "Open Sunday." While the re- I porter -may have placed this con- j stru tlon upon the section In ques- , tlon. It does not accord with our views, and we desire to again call your attention to the plank In the platform, which reads as follows; "A large part of our population finds Sunday their only day for Test, worship and recreation, and we see no Just reason why they should not he allowed to purchase cold drinks, ice and cigars, and we favor changing the city laws accordingly." I submit to any fair-minded per son that there la no' anything In the above to suggest an "open Sunday" In the general accept mce of the term, and It la not our Intention to go beyond the plain terms of ths section as stated in our platform. It may be all very nice for those of us who are so situated that we can step into a drug stoie or Ice cream parlor or cold drink stand at any hour of the day during the week and, get these conveniences to prate about an "open Sunday," but to those not so fortunately situated and who have to toil all the week fot a living, and have Sunday for their only day of recreation, It Is quite different, and we can see no reason why they should be denied these privileges. Now as to the elect. en: Had you stopped to think, my ft. "ids, that two Democratic candidates are out for your vote at the primaries? Think once more about this wnu ask your self the question, "W is this." when every Democrat in Charlotte know there will be only one Demo cratic candidate runniig on election day. Now, honestly answer these Questions for yourself and you can have but one answer, and that is, that this Is done by the Demc-.ts to stir up enthusiasm among I.. a working people with "fuss and feathers," and get you all out to the prim Ties, and thereby tie you hand snd toot, and try to prevent you from voting the Republican ticket, or even voting for the man of your choice on election day. Therefore, my fMlnw citizens. I earnestly beg of you that you re main away from the primaries. Democrats and Republicans alike, but especially Republicans, that you may be able to walk up to your polling places on election day free and un fettered and vote for the candidate of your choice Respectfully.

McLean, a member of the present board of aldermen and ooe of the test known young business men of the city. Mr. McLean Is the youngest man who has atptred to the office of mayor of Greensboro In a number of years, but he has a strong following and will prove a formidable candidate. A number of Greensboro Elks went to High Point to-night to assist In the in stitution of a lodge of the order in that place. The new lodge was Instituted by Mr. Fred W. Thomas, of Ashevllle, dis trict deputy grand exalted ruler for the western district of North Carolina, and starts out with a charter membership of 35 representative High Point men.
