I., is recognized as an im portant center of ultra-fashionable society. And Newport society, accord ing to Rev. George Vernon Dickey, rector of St. George's church, has no apparent outward respect for the laws of the Creator. The Sabbath day is an occasion of "orgies;" the institu tion of marriage is not sacred; gam bling for high stakes at bridge is universal. No one can expect to have a good time unless able to play the game. 'The Episcopal clergymen of New port each read the following letter, - signed by all, from their pulpits the day before yesterday: ,"In view of the wide notoriety given through the press to social activities In Newport on the Lord's day, and recognizing that such activities have Insensibly grown to such an extent as to encroach upon the hours of divine service and detract from the sacred nsss of the day and of the home, and furthermore set an unworthy ex. ample before the young, we, the un desalgned, deeply concerned for the welfare of society and for the cause of Christ's religion, feel it a solemn duty to state, in a definite manner. the position of the church in the matter. "Following the authority of Holy Scripture, the church has formulated the following canon, the obedience to which is Incumbent upon every one or us. " 'Canon 42 of the celebration of Sundays All persons within this church shall celebrate and keep the Lord's day, commonly called Sunday, : by regular participation In the public worship of the church, by hearing the word of God read and taught, and by other acta of devotion, and works of charity, using all Godly and sober conversation.' "We therefore urge the Christian people of Newport to abstain from such forms of amusements as Infringe upon the proper observance of the Lord's day, and to recognise the duty or assisting the clergy In upholding: Its sacredness and to live according to tneir Christian profession as living epistles read and known of all men." A Sunday night ball, culminating in "an orgie" was the Immediate occa sion of the protest. Said Rev. Mr. Dickey: "In view of the publicity given to Newport's social doings many might be led to believe that such things are typical or Newport and that the church tamely acquiesces in them wuuuui une worn 01 protest. It was a peculiarly fitting time, therefore, to state tne position of the church and to utter a protest and a warning. "Possibly, and very likely, this pro- iwi win not neip tne matter very mucn. it is not likely to reach those whose conduct gave occasion for It But let us not make the mistake of saying that all society Is alike. There are many who come to Newport In the summer and mingle In its most exclusive set who are restive under such leadership as bring them Into conflict with God's laws. "Yon will agree with me that it Is very hard Indeed to keep from fol lowing the lead of society when your Interests ar Identified with society, but we know that there are men and women here who, though possessed of wealth and social position, are neither frivolous nor shallow, but. on the eon. trary, are trying to use their wealth and Influence in the best way. "There Is a process of moral atrophy when moral perceptions be come numb, the power of discrimina tion becomes dulled and men are un able correctly to Judga conduct in accordance with true moral standards. We are In danger of Just such a con dltlon In this community.' Evil does not correct Itself. , , " The wsges of sin, says the Holy Pi-rlptures, 'Is death.' The whnle ten ri. ncy of wrongdoing is downward. I think the history of Newport's society 1 will II)utrate this pretty conclusively." each state and t territory, with stee gates or locks to be closed in case ol high water or partly so,, and 'to bt opened in case of droughts.

It 'Is his opinion that this "woulc save millions of dollars a year In cas or nign waters, and also be a great benefit when the water courses were low. Navigation would be benefited factories ' could ' be run regularly farms on the great streams would not be devastated; railroad property along and over the streams would be safer thousands or lives both man snd beast would be safer. Machinery of almost any kind could be used making a net work throughout. the country of trol ley cars, electrlo lights for cities, towns and the rural districts could be greatly benefited. Fish could be mul tiplled by the millions. Alluvial soil that is drifted away could greatly be saved, making this great country on inland sea. Think of the United States having forty or fifty thousand lakes at her command to be drawn upon or closed as need be. No two lakes to be on any stream for fear of accidents. Think of forty or fifty thousand lakes holding the capacity of the Mississippi river at New Or leans for several days pent up ready for use at any time." The basis of some such idea must have been In the minds of many, re cently, as the upland crops parched and died, while the bold mountain streams ran merrily along, carrying by millions and millions of gallons of water. The people now see the neces sity of conserving the water flow by preserving a growth of vegetation on the headwaters; a lesson of the future may be the necessity of still further measures of conservation of the flow. CONCERNING RATS. Gibson county, Indiana, has annual ly a rat killing day. We are not ad vised as to the methods of warfare on the rodents; presumably prizes are offered for those who slay the great est number of them. The government statisticians est! mate that the upkeep of a healthy rat amounts to two rents a day. The other day In Gibson county they killed 4000 of them, effecting a saving, on this basis, of $30,000 a year. However, It may be In other parts of Ashevllle, the tenants of the North Pack squure group of buildings are supporting a large colony of rodents. every day in the year. They are of vast size and fierce demeanor. The way food prices are now, we doubt if any of them would deign to live on two cents a day. The rat problem, doubtless, like most earthly problems, has Its solu tion, which can be found If only one will go about it right. A little sys tematic effort would probably enable Ashevllle to get rid of most of Its rata At Halifax court recently Judge Justice said: "I will begin right now and impose no more fines for pistol toting.

If the latest Information is not mis leading .Baltimore has already enough votes pledged to assure for It the next lemocratlc national convention. The Washington Herald has repeated urg- ia that Baltimore should have the convention, and now hopes that such is actually to be the case. But while we felicitate Baltimore, there is 'ample cause for congratula tion among ourselves. The delegates ind visitors to the national conven tion will come over to Washington for it least a brief visit, and thus Wash ington will share Baltimore's good fortune In having the democratic hosts In her midst. Baltimore was the great democratic center before the civil war. It is peculiarly appro priate that It should again by a demo- ratlc mecca. Washington Herald.

It was Lawyer Tillett who first lifted "lis voice against a piece of nonsense practiced on the Southern Railway iralns running this way out of South Carolina. There is a law in that State requiring railway passenger cars to be quipped with wind and dust shields small strips of sheet Iron attached the open windows. There Is no such law in this state, so, when the rain crosses the line the porter goes through the cars and takes out the screens This piece of foolishness has ome under the observation of Editor Johnson, of Charity and Children. ind he incorporates it along with a summary of some other fallings of railroad management These obser- ations sre altogether worthy of being placed under the eyes of the railroad mclals. "Charity and Children," says Editor Johnson, "had no eym- patny whatever with the clamor in ertain quarters against the railroads. and we rejoice to see a disposition In our courts of justice to deal more fairly with these great and useful cor porations and to foil the robbers who attempt to hold them up; but while tnis is true the railroads themselves might do more than they do to make he public their friends. Why. for In stance, do the railroads refuse to do a hlng for the benefit and convenience of their patrons until they are forced to do so 7 They will not build a depot until they are ordered to do so by the corporation commission. It would seem the wiser policy to meet the needs of the public (which thev are compelled to do at last) without forc ing the people to whom they owe this Improvement to run to Raleigh and get an order compelling them to do their duty. A law In South Carolina requires the railroads to provide pre lection from cinders and dust by plac- ng a six inch board in the windows; as soon as the train crosses the line into North Carolina the porters are Instructed to remove this slight pro tection snd let the cinders fly. This is old-fashioned stupidity and even Pres ident Ftnley, cogent reason er that he cannot justify such amazing folly. Sooner or later the law will compel the roads to provide this comfort but why do they watt for the law? The hair cars are provided with screens st the windows which not only add to the comfort of the passengers but protects the property of the company. Why are the windows of the day coaches unscreened? Is it to drive passengers Into the chair car where As there Is often some one in your family who suffers an attack of Indi gestion or some form of Stomach trouble, why don't you keep some Diapepsin in the bouse handyT This harmless blessing will digest anything you can eat without the slightest discomfort, and overcome a sour, gassy Stomach live minutes after. .i .. -.4 - .

Nausea, Headaches, Dizziness, Constipation and other Stomach disorders. ' Some folks have tried so long to find relief from Indigestion and Dyspepsia or an out-of-order stomach with the common, overy-day cures advertised that they have about made up their minds that they have something else wrong, or believe theirs is a case of Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh of the Stomach or Cancer. This, no doubt is a serious mistake. Your real trouble Is, what you eat does not digest; instead, It ferments unJ sours, turns to ' acid, Gns and Stomach poison, which putrefy In the digestive tract and Intestines, and be sides, poison the breath with nauseous odors.

It looks so, and If that Is true It is poor policy Instead of lowering the rates, if our next legislature will force the rail roads to provide better facilities of travel, which can be had at a trifling cost, they will be doing service to the public; but the railroads ought to hnvs sense enough to do these things themselves." Also the manner 'of unloading the cars is one that entails inconvenience and loss of time. " The passengers from two cars are made to crowd out through one narrow doorway, while the Ingoing passengers have to wait until this tedious clearance Is effected. Why could not the prssengers leave by the rear door and enter by the front door? But the ways of the rail road are past finding out. Charlotte Chronicle.
