'Defence of the Mecklenburg
Declaration of Independence," is
the title of a book recently issued
from the press of Edwards-and
Broughton Printing Co., Raleigh,
N. C. The title page states' that
the work is "An Exhaustive of
and Answer to all Attacks on the
Declaration." One would infer

from this that the book m.gM be Kentucky

taining about 150 pages. The
author, James H. Moore, of Ma-

The pardon of Caleb Powers and
J ames Howard by the Governor
of Kentucky has given" rise to
much comment, favorable and of
fensive. The prevailing viewf
however, seems to be that under
the circumstances., this was the
wisest course to pursue. The men
may have been guilty 'of implica
tion in the conspiracy to assassi
nate Goebel, but there has always
been a "reasonable" doubt in the
minds of the'public on this point.
Both men have served a number
of years in prison, their repeated
trials have cost the State a great
deal, for as fast as one court would
decide on the case another one
would reverse the decision. Be
sides, in the condition of political
turmoil Kentucky has been in
since the murder of Governor
Goebel it must be apparent that
Gov. Wilson is not wide the mark
when he says that the trial of
these men could not be had
in
politics with it.

BRITTAIN AND CAMPBELL.
Have You a
Summer Stove?
An Asheville dispatch speaking
of the death, by hydrophobia, of a
little boy who was recently bitten
by a dog, says the authorities of
that city will take steps to rid the
city of dogs running at large, and
will require all on the street to be
muzzled or chained. It strikes
one as a trifle peculiar that we
wait usually until a serious acci
dent happens, before we think of
enforcing existing laws for the
protection of the public, or enact
ing new ones. Why not be on
time in these matters? We have
laws enough on the subject, and
why not see to their enforcement
before an accident occurs which
shocks the community? And in
many of these cases, especially
where fatilities result, the great
pity of it is that they might have
been prevented by the exercise of
a little foresight. While on this
question it might not be out of
place to say just a word on the
automobile question. We have a
number of them on our streets and
we believe there are laws govern
ing their peed. While most of
the citizens who run these ma
chines here are careful not to ex
ceed the speed limit, and show a
most commendable consideration
for the safety of the public, there
are others who do not- A case in
point occurred a few evenings
since near the corner of Main and
Inniss streets, which was witness
ed and commented upon by sev
al citizens. An automobile came
up Main street at a very rapid
rate of speed and near the corner
mentioned narrowly escaped run
ning down two children who hap
pened to be crossing the street.
There have been a number of com
plaints heard aa to the careless
ness and utter indifference to tKo
safety of pidistraus, of the driver
of this particular machine.,. We
dd not know whether they are well
fnnndod or not. but we- do know
that no parent of this city has any
children he wants mashed up, crip
pled or killed by one of these ma
chines. A proper exercise of care
and prudence will reduce the
possibility of danger in this line
o minimum.
