THE NEWS-1". RALD. f . Q. COBB, Publisher- THURSDAY, DEC. 8, 1910. COURTS AND THE PEOPLE. There's too much difference between the courts and the people-too much "Big I and little you. " Of course all good citizens will bow to and obey the judg ments of our courts, but then these good citizens are entitled to some consideration also. These good citizens make the courts and see that their edicts are put into execution, and when these good citizens see those on whom they have bestowed power and entrusted with the management of our courts letting things run loosely, many times at great cost to the people, there is naturally a kick, and justly so. The lack of back-bone on the Dart oi many ot our nudges is largely the cause of so many con jested dockets. All kinds of ex cuses are given for not being ready to try, and the judge gives way, oftentimes adjourning court for several days, with jurors and witnesses lying around at the ex pense of the county, perhaps waiting on some one man in the case who failed to appear at the appointed time. For several years it has been the custom in Burke and other counties lor the local bar to get together and arrange a calendar for the court, and it is a fine idea, if the program were carried out It is supposed that those interested know what they t doing when they make the calen dar, and it tne court can go ahead with it as arranged there is a great saving of time and ex pense as against tne old way. where litigants, jurors and witnesses came on the first day of court and remained until discharged. With many of our courts, however, it seems that more business would be done by going back to the old way and taking the docket "like Kelly did the dew-berries" as it comes if the parties interested are not ready in one case take up an other. But the judge is the "boss," and the people who placed him in his position expected him to run the court as it should be run, and the people are not unreasonable. Correspuiidence of The News-IIerald.

If you men of Mitchell county V 1 11 nave a sparK or mannooa you will respectfully but firmly deny the right of this orator to impale you before a tearful world; and you will not stultify yourselves by giving her countenance, much less sympathy or support. it is not to the credit oi you Mitchell people that this tireless talker has lived among you ten years. Somebody has given her aid and comfort. Somebody has crawled at her feet for the trifles she bestowed. Somebody has played the sycophant and grovelled in the dust. We do not say what she men tions may not actually have oc currred; but she has no right to draw this hideous picture of is olated cases of ignorance and su- perstitution, and hold air intelli gent section of North Carolina up to ridicule. It is up to you men of Mitchell. xou can put a stop to it it you will: And if you do not assert your own manhood and invite your slanderers out of your bor ders you must continue to suffer the odium they put upon your names! fact the greatest wre have ever had. Other causes of thakful- ness to the Giver of all good and perfect gifts. Things are moving here as usual. The big dam at the J. D. Pitts water mill is about half completed. The mills are run ning on full time. From the looks of stores Christmas! seems to be in the air. The high school, by the nods and knowing looks of the children, must be getting up one of their noted entertain ments which are so well enjoyed by all who have the good fortune to be present. I had occasion a lew days ago to visit Spartanburg and Green ville, rival towns in our sister State of South Carolina. 1 saw much to amuse, interest and in struct. I went by way of South ern to Marion Junction and from there on the C. C. & 0. to Spar tanburg. This road is new, the service is good and the towns along the route are new and look well, considering the time the road has been running. One town, Chesnee, 16 miles north of Spartanburg, has 6 stores, 12 or 15 dwelling houses, a nice depot, a cotton mill, building all been done inside of 12 months. Spar tanburg has a population of about 25 or 30 thousand, well built, nice streets, car service, a nice, clever people. I met several of our Morganton boys Mr. Moul ton Phifer, Messrs. Ben and Ralph Kibler and others, who were glad to see us. Greenville, 31 miles south of Spartanburg, is well built. They are spending a large sum. nearly a million dol lars, in improving the streets, The streets are wider, the side walks of concrete, ample for the travel. A Masonic temple about completed at a cost when ready for business approximately 50 thousand dollars. Nice churches and good schools. A Baptist fe male college here said to have 1.000 pupils. I saw on the streets a fire automobile, with all the necessary fire apparatus, clipping along faster, it seemed to me, than trains run on the Southern. 1 saw at the depot, wThich is a credit to a much larger town, an electric car running from there to Anderson, 30 miles the front end cigar shaped, the rear like a steam yatch, about the length oi 1 I 1 A 1 i i a railroad coacn. adout twc thirds of length was for pas sengers. It seemed to move smoothly and nicely. If you should ask Spartanburg people which was the best town, that or ureenvme, tney would ten you that Greenville was not in it. The Greenville folks would tell you Spartanburg could not hold them a light. The people in both owns are clever and accomo dating. Messrs. Brather and Charlie Brown and Ben Sloan, old Mcrganton boys, are living in Greenville and doing well. I saw other Tar Heels, all getting along nicely and glad to meet a 1 brother lar Heel. A seven-story hotel building going up in Spar tanburg, Greenville people are getting ready to have one too. For all the thrift, enterprise and prosperity they can't make a climate like ours, nor have the pure water. What we need in Morganton to make it grow is a first-class, up-to-date hotel, a new court house and jail, and other minor needed improve ments would follow. The town and county can do it, and the longer we wait the further dowTn the line we will get. We have lots of things to be proud of and gratetul tor and some that we should be ashamed oi. l his is not written in a spirit of crit icism, but for the love I have for the dear, grand old county of Burke. Let us rub the Van Win kleism out of our eyes and see ourselves as our neighbors see us a good old sleepy old-fashioned town. Jap. Glen Alpine, N.

There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional rem edies. Dealness is caused by an inflamed condition ot the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire ly closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the in flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal coudition, hearing will be destrosed torever; nine cases out of ten are caused bv Ca- tarrah, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
