The electors met in Raleigh on last
Tuesday morning and cast the veto
for President. Mr. D. E. Hender
?son, of New Berne, was made messen
ger to take the vote to Washington.
Senator W. M. Person has intro
duced a bill to abolish the crop lien
law of North Carolina. This is a good
move and our Senator is to be i*ou- I
gratulated. The crop lien system is
a means that makes it possible for j
both farmer and merchant to tak-3 '
great risks, which often results in loss j
to both.
The United States Supreme- Court
on Monday gave out a sweeping de
cision upholding the Webb-Kenycn
bill, which makes it unlawful kr
whiskey to be shipped from one state
to another where there is a Staie law
against such shipment. Prohibition
ists consider this action second in im
portance, tli^ir cause, to the pro
posed Constitutional amendment.
The Raleigh Daily Times of Tues
day in a& editorial took notice ot
Gov. Craig* inconsistency in refusing
to pay Judge Hood for holding the
term of Court at Kinston in connec
tion with the lynching trouble, with
out special authority from the Gen
eral Ass-emfcly and at the >aiue time
payiug out the money to the State
convict families without such a war
rant. It closes by suggesting
the Legislature have the former Gov
ernor reimburse the Saate in thai
amount from his personal funds.
Representative Newell has had a
bill passed in the House providing
that an auditor may be appointed for
Franklin County immediately at a
salary not *to exceed $1,200.00 per
year. The same bill also provide
for the discontinuance of the Cler*
for the Clerk of the Courts office, and
the nine deputies to be appointed by
the Sheriff outside Louisburg town
ship, and also places the salary of
thfc Clerk of the Court at $2,000 u0
per.year. In another bill, by request
of the County Commissioners he will
try tn have thfi tax listing system
changed back to the old plan in use
six or eight years ago. He has also
Introduced several special road bill;
for several of our townships.

It has occurred to us that a news
paper is much like a public school.
Not one patfon in twenty visits the
school once a year, yet most of them
are always ready to criticise it. The
same is true with the newspaper. If
every person in town would drop }a;o
the office once a week or in some oth
er way tell us the news iteniB they
know, what a newspaper we should
have!
