The Right of the Sooth to Insist Upon Har . log NoneSaie tbe Best. Robert De C. "Ward in the Tradesmao, July 15th, 1905. That thousands of our immi grants are not healthy and fit is proved beyond question. That many are not honest and indus trious is shown by tin f act there are now 44,985 aliens supported or confined in the charitable or penal institutions of .our coun try, of whom 20,485 are insane and 9,825 are criminals. It is evident that much of our present, immigration is as unfit on the farm as in the city ; that it is of low vitality, poor phsique, very ignorant, often diseased, mentally deficient and of criminal tenden cies; by reason of its much lower standard of living entering into unhealthy competition with Amer ican labor. The people of the south are now in a positon to exercise a deter mining influence upon the charac ter of the future American race. The railroads are ready to distrib ute over the Southern states many unhealthy, shiftless and unfit aliens from northern city slums, and are planning to carry on this distribution . on a vastly larger scale, T by taking the newly-arrived immigrants?, directly . from the L steanlhipsHlf such a wholesale ajrlndiscriminate distribution cpitllojwed lo go "-on without a p!&Iirt of tfilnth, ;OU pean govern nrents -wili nv good - reasons .ip. congratulate " them selvesV Bofe , the . people of the . splath musiealize that such a dis- Al itt;not ive them Jhe3a met r willSWt the Ameriean ice ;of;the fuiiW - ii7"iLii wiU spredjinprEwtdel3 'h'st Witiase head-tax means f owoitoSoeJifib fund;" and he lower clep Hence, that means more effective admin ; ike ffouth touli rbecome a strone istration of existing laws and iuppQrtrofneas f fulherselejeU for it cannot :jfail to -pee" that the upon anO; -jpwinierijr. o me JtoSSx " Obviouslyantlligently directed r; mTi -zi r; . ii J.:L'dlz4.J- i UV) .a a an immiGrrant do not; dnnAnr) nnnn -. -;4 -W--..-. r.i.;- oKii;.r improved in tone w.th tnoiwanas Tinneaviiny,; sniiineBs fj - number.0f yearBt and and upno immigrants is -a nuraeni mvuej uu mm, uuuesiraoie own for geVertl IK-distribi cranbS is most bbbuuwui, uuu tuo rimmieriri&Mt be sent where .T' - - w - - - lui-n4 -aV wIi.aK .hoir jbuvj n.t t. ; - -w i fe Dhvfiically and mentally tted s.wiC'-" . .

This money is paid by the steamship companies, and is simply added to the price of the passage ticket.

Mockaville Courier, April 12th. . Little Lucy Bryant, of Coolee mee, a bright and popular second grade pupil in school, died last Thursdav. The commencement of Goolee. mee Graded School will take place May the 19th and 20th, This commencenment bids fair to be the best one in the history of the school. Thos. A. Brunt, one of Far mington's largest farmers, has been adjudged insane and appli cation has been made to the proper authorities to have him placed in the Hospital at Mor gan ton. Rev. Vincent Walker, of Center, celebrated his 90th birthday Thursday, April 5th, with a din ner, words fail to describe and a family reunion, there being only four of his children absent. It was an enjoyable occasion for each and every one of 'the fifty or more who were present. Rev. Walker is, we believe, the only man in the county having sons living who fought under the Stars and Bars. Don't forget to renew your sub scription for The Watchman when in the city. brings it somewhere near the rate ig South America and other coun- 1 tries to which immigrants are iikely to go.

Biblical Recorder. . k One of of the most impressive things is the responsiveness of all men to Public Opinion. Men of the greatest powers cower before the judgment of their fellows Even likewise nations. For Pub lic - Opinion forced Japan and Russia to make peace. That was the point of the. diplomacy in dulged in'by the plenipotentiaries, and Russia succeeded in putting Japan in the position cf continu ing the war for mere money. Japan could not stand that' be cause it would forfeit her cherish ed claims among the civilized nations. The-princes, of Ameri can commerce and; the bosses of American politics have lately gone down in a heap before Public Opinion. Mr. Rockefeller never spoke a word in defence of himself until it appears that the American people were about to repudiate, his benevolence on account of their suspicion that he had made it unfairly. We believe he will yet come into court and give testimony rather than endure the present Judgment of the People Judgment not unlike that which killed John A. McCall. Senator Depew, rich and proud, has been plunged into melancholia by Pub lic Opinion. Men can endure their own self reproaches, men can defy God; but men cannot endure the Judg ment of the Public. The organ of Public Opinion is the newspaper and the editor. If we do not look well to our papers, if we do not repudiate the evil minded men, that would conduct o.itr newspapers witfrmost i ealSu issued m behalf of special 'in i foroafa Kn h harmra laonad in Kaliolf I VU VW RlWTWVSW.&J JbjU WUMIAA. of personal ha.te.

The back ' and plates in the Weaver piano are built along the lines of the old high grade artistic instruments, many of which were use for a held their generations. The manufacturers of the Weaver piano have ncympa thy with the modern idea of reducing the weight of the piano, to sa ve. the freight and a tew aoiiars in tne cost ot manu facturing, at the expense of the staying qualities of the piano. I mi J .11 a1 ine comDinwa pressure oi an me strings in a piano when properly tuned up amount to about twenty tons. Weakness in construction disappoints many a customer who purchases a piano with many of the features of a strictly high grade instrument, but which soon be comes weak and. metallic in tone and doesnot have the ricuditv to kee jn tuue an 0 keep, the en- j tire structure in proper position, so as o allow the action to work freely and properly throughout the life of the piano. Purchasers of the Weaver pianos do not have this risk. All improvements of value that have been developed by modern methods have been adapt ed for the Weaver piano, and old time strength and durability are I catalogue. studiously maintained.

An unusual happening was a fish sale at the depot Sunday morning, when shad sold for a shilling a piece and croakers at five cents each. There was a consign ment of two boxes for Joe Ham- mer, nut tney arrived too late to be handled Saturday night and the express agent disposed of them. Although in several of the sur rounding counties politics has al ready reached the boiling point so far everything is quiet iu David- son, and no arrangements nave as y. t been made. The only politi cal news we have heard as regards e&ndidates is that G. pastor Han- kins will beiin the race for the nomination for representative. Mr. Hankins. has served one term 1 in the house and has made a good record. ' Monday a force of hands began work on the Southbound Rail way and we are now promised that the construction of the road will be pushed with all possible speed. The contract for the first section of the road was awarded on Mon dav to rruden and .Bennett, con- tractors, of Atlanta, who at once placed a force on the line and work began. As fast as the right of wav can be secured the road will be built towards Lexington. Monday morning at 4:35 o'clock the first section of fast freight No, 72, north bound, was wrecked a little more than a mile north of town. Thirteen cars were derail ed, eleven of which were thrown down a 25- foot embankment and wrecked, in some instances be yond repair. Two cars, although off the rails, remained on the track. The engine, with twelve cars, remained on the rails, as did the caboose and four cars, None of the tram ciew were injured.

He n ret made nis nome in Richmond, Va., and then came to this county. JBEe was in his 82nd year, une cniid cniid survives him, Mrs. Matilda Smith, of Lm- wood, and Mrs. Spain is also liv ing. Mr. Spain's death is due in part to old age, but a short time atzo he fell down the stairs at his home and this hastened the end. Mr. I3pain was a man of consider able wealth and leaves a large es tate. Mr, Spain lived in Salis bury for a time several years" ago and will be remembered, by a number of our people. Ed.
