Scusby,) The temper of the mind in which we meet the hundred and one tiny circum stances of every' hour determines our happiness or unhappiness far more than docs the detail of what those circum stances are- We cannot choose the cir cumstances, but we can choose the tem per. A CONTEST THAT REFLECTS GLORY UPON THE STATE. “In the land of Sci when a soldier lost his buckler there was no regret be cuuse a soldier found it.” In the contest for United States Sen ator in the Democratic caucus, which ended last night, after having been waged for twenty days, the honor was won by Hon. Lee S. Overman, of Rowan. There was disappointment of course, in the hearts of those who had earnestly sought to secure the nomination of Wat son or Craig, but when they reflected that the buckler had been found bv a worthy soldier there was no regret—“a sollier had found it.” In the history of this country there is n* record of a long and stubborn fight for a great office that has reflected so much honor upon a Commonwealth as the one that ended last night. The throe contestants have been for three w-eelis under the calcium light. No criticism lias been heard of the public or private character of either of the aspirants. While the press of other States has teemed with scandals in almost every long drawn-out contest, there has not v, en a suggestion from any source that / improper influence has attended the nteet that closed last night. Everybody will rejoice that the end of his notable fight has come and that it qas come to a conclusion in a wav to re flect glory upon tho State. THE FULLER BILL. Today at 3:30 in the rooms of the Corporation Commission, the Fuller bill will come up for hearing before the Senate Committee on Railroads. In so far as the principle involved is concerned, this is the most important bill that has yet been considered*.by the General As sembly. Through its attorneys and agents, the Southern Railway made a desperate fight in the House Committee and on the floor of the House- After hearing every argument and specious plea, the House defeated the bill by a vote of about 2 to 1. For several weeks after the election the rumor grew that last summer, while the folks were busy defeating the effort of the railroads to down Judge Clark, the railroad managers had captured the Sen ate. Evidently the Morning Post, organ of the Southern Railway, puts some faith in that current rumor, for it is now writ ing long editorials against the Fuller bill. While the bill was pending in the House, the railroad organ did not dare to make a big fight against it because it kuew the House couldn’t be influenced by its rail road pleas. But, now that it is in the Senate, the Post becomes bold and prints two columns of editorial against it. \\ hen the bill comes before the Senate Com mittee and the Senate, the railroad organ will find that the current report is a slander upon the Senate. It is made up of men who wear no collar, accept no dic tation from the Southern Railway or any other corporation. It represents a con stituency who believe that the people have a right to compel railroads to give necessary accommodations to the travel ing public. At Durham, two of the rail roads are ready to unite on a modern up to-date union depot. One railroad, the Southern, has for ten years denied Dur ham a decent depot and now declares it shall have no depot until the litigation over Peabody street is settled. That lit igation has been in the courts for ten years. It may ‘go on forever.” To deny necessary accommodations in a union de pot—(no other accommodations will suit in this day)—is to doom the people of Durham to indefinite denial of accommo dations to which they are justly entitled. The Senate will not refuse to constitute a tribunal where the people cf Durham or any other town similarly discriminated against by any railroad in the State, may appeal for redress. That is all that the Fuller bill proposes, muddying the waters by questions that have nothing to do with the bill, it would have been enacted into law by' an almost unanimous vote of both houses without delay. HON, LEE S. OVERMAN. Hon. Lee S. Overman was born in Sal isbury, January 3rd, 1854. In 1874 he en tered Trinity College, Randolph county, and graduated in 1876. Upon the redemp tion of the State by Governor Vance in 1876, Mr. Overman, a brilliant young man, just out of college, was made private secretary by the great War Governor. In that position Mr. Overman made a friend oJ every man who called at the Executive Office, and formed many strong friend ships. He devoted his nights to the study of the law and in 1878 was licensed to practice law. In 1879 he resigned as private secretary, returned to Salisbury where he entered at once ut>on a practice that has grown with every passing year. He now commands a clientele second to that of no practitioner, at a specially able bar. In 1886 he was elected a member of the House of Representatives from Rowan, and has been elected five dif ferent times to the House. He proved himself a safe and wise legislator, and his people have often called upon him to serve them. His record is without flaw. In 1893 he was elected Speaker o' the House and proved one of the fittest men who has filled that high office in a quarter of a century. He is a spieudid parliamentarian, has commanding pres ence, and made a fine officer. Hie lias held many positions of trusts and honor. He was director and afterwards presi de nt of the North Carolina Railroad under the administation of Governor Carr. At the session of the Legislature of 1895, the Democratic caucus nominated Mr. Overman as their candidate to suc ceed the lamented Vance in the United States Senate, and he received the vote of every Democrat for that high office. In 1900 Mr. Overman was the Democratic Presidential elector for the State-at large. In that and in every other cam paign since he attained his majority be made eloquent speeches for Democratic candidates. He is a Democrat without variableness or shadow of turning, nnd has always been ready to serve his party in the ranks or in leadership. He is an eloquent and able campaigner; a success ful and able lawyer; a popular and wise legislator of large experience; and is well equipped for the great office of United States Senator. Personally, Mr. Overman is a gentle man of high character, a popular and af fable gentleman, and enjoys the confi dence and esteem of the people of the whole State. He was married in ols early manhood to Miss Mary Merrimon, daughter of the late United States Sen ator and Chief Justice Augustus S. Mer rimon. • ____ “AN ABLE PAPER.” The editor of this paper has been great ly gratified at the expressions of ap proval from many sources of the leading editorial in last Sunday’s News and Ob server. A few of the many have appear ed in these columns, not because of a desire to print words of praise about the paper, but to shew what many of the best men in the State think about the need of effective and progressive temperance legislation. We take the bberty of printing the following letter from an eminent citizen of Virginia, showing that the healthful sentiment against intemperance is confined to no State lines. He writes in a personal note: “Your editorial on temperance legisla tion is one of the most remarkable edi torials I have ever read. It should take rank among the able State papers of North Carolina. In my judgment it is unanswerable. Next for a child labor law! ■ And continued power to your strong right arm.” He is right. A proper child labor law is the next logical step. STATE NEWS. Wilmington, N. C., Jan. 29. —Capt. Gil bert and crew of seven men, who made a miraculous escape this week from the barquentine Nineveh, New York to Maysport, which was foundered and sunk off this coast last Thursday, reached the city yesterday and Capt. Gilbert left to day for New York, where he will be as signed to another vessel. Winston-Salem, N. C., Jan. 28. —Mr. Charles Barnes,- a brakeman on the Nor folk and 'Western yards, was seriously injured while climbing up a moving car on the warehouse track. He was caught between the car and the roof of the plat form, crushing him and throwing him from the car. His left arm was broken between the elbow and shoulder, his left hip badly bruised and his back in jured. SIOO Lost or Stolen. (Special to News and Observer.) New Bern, N. C., Jan. 29.—Mr. J. C. Rivenbark lost here yesterday a pocket book containing about SIOO, including checks from Messrs. Rhodes, Tapp Woot en. Copeland and others. Mr. Rivenbark says he believes his pocket was picked. He missed the purse during the dinner hour at the hotel. Payment of the checks was promptly stopped. Here is a letter tnat tells its own story: “Tarboro. N. C., Jan. 26, 1903. ■ “Hon. Donnell Gilliam. I “Dear Sir: —Please kill Mr. McNeill’s ■ cannon-cracker bill. Remember you have boys, and do not end their joys. Let j them continue to make a noise. “Yours truly, “ROBERT MacNAIR.” 'THE NEWS AND OBSERVER, FRIDAY MORNING. JAN. 30. 1903. Spirit of the Press. THE SITUATION IN THE ASSEMBLY. Biblical Recorder. This week the London bill, the Watts bill and the Justice bill (which is very like the Watts bill)—each to regulate the sale and manufacture of intoxicating liquors in North Carolina —will be heard by the Joint Committee of the House and Senate on Propositions and Griev ances. The readers of this paper are deeply concerned in these measures. We trust that every one has made his in fluence count in some way. If you have not, there is yet time, as the final bill will not be put upon its passage until next week. If you mean anything, let yourself be heard. We are prepared to say with confi dence that unusual progress will be made in temperance legislation. Perhaps not all that has been asked for will bo granted. But we are confident that eith er the Watts bill with strengthening amendments or the London bill with somewhat weakening amendments will be passed—if the people will keep up their good work. The Liquor Lobby here is powerful, numerous and in fine light ing trim. To yield a point of effort at this hour, to take anything for granted, might be disastrous. The Watts bill with amendments vdll be quite effective in the rural districts, clearing them of distilleries and bars. That part of the London bill providing for elections on the dispensary question wherever desired will give the moral forces a good fighting chance in every town and city in North Carolina. We are prepared to encourage our people to .hope strongly for legislation nf this sort- Whether the Assembly will go one stop farther and put the burden of proof oa the saloons in local option elections, we do not know-. In our opinion the advo cates of prohibitive legislation can as well afford to go into an election on the offensive as on the defensive. Action of this character by the Assembly would be evidence that the gentlemen are disposed to take high moral ground and to give tho people an open field against the liquor evil- It would lie somewhat advantage ous, perhaps, but it would be more cred itable to the Assembly and the party in power, and more advantageous to thorn, than to the forces that have be n mus tered against the saloons and distilleries. The people in our towns and should now be preparing for local option elections. They have no right to expect the Legislature to closes their saloons if they cannot do it by majority vote— THEY ASK ONLY WHAT IS FAIR. Rocky Mount Motor. The paid attorneys of tho whiskey men are telling the members of the Legisla ture that if they pass a law' changing or restricting the present form of selling whiskey it will ruin the Democratic par ty. The Democratic party will never be ruined for passing any law- that is for the betterment of the State- But on the other hand if they fail to pass some such law the party will lose an element com posed of the moral and intelligent class that have heretofore voted the Demo cratic ticket whether they thought the party right or wrong on issues, for fear of the negro. Up to now the white men could not divide on issues. That time has passed. Nor can the Democratic party afford to rest on past achievement. Politics in North Carolina will be fought hereafter on issues and a higher plane and the Democratic party to remain in power, must meet the approval of the moral, intelligent and conservative class of voters. This class now asks, not for a prohibition law, but a law' that will drive whiskey out. of places that have no police protection and then leave it to the majority of the people in the town how they will control it. This is manifestly fair and if the Democratic party doesn’t meet this demand it 'will lose a larger element of votes than those who are selfishly interested in the whis key business. OUGHT TO BE IN EVERY HOME. Chatham Record. A copy of last Sunday’s issue of the Raleigh News aud Observer ought to be in every home in North Carolina. An entire page is devoted to a most timely and forcible editorial on the “Temper ance Legislation That This State Now- Needs.” In addition to this another page Is illustrated with a most attractive car toon or picture representing “the great American whiskey trade parade.” At the head of the parade is the whiskey dis tiller riding in a costly automobile; next is a wholesale whiskey dealer riding, in a fine carriage drawn by two spirited horses; then comes the retail dealer driv ing a fine horse, and then behind them on foot is a long straggling line of the consumers or victims of whiskey. At the bottom of the picture is the question, “Where You?” Such an editorial and cartoon will be of incalculable benefit to the temperance cause, and for them the talented editor deserves the grateful thanks of all the moral forces of North Carolina. A BIG DIFFERENCE. Chatham P.ecord- President Roosevelt seems determined to force social negro equality upon the people of this country. He shocked pub lic sentiment and outraged the feelings of all decent persons, at least in the South, by inviting Booker Washington to dine with him. That was several mouths ago, but last week he did worse than that by inviting negro men and women to a spe cial reception at the White House, where they w-ere placed on a social equality with the wives and daughters of Congress men, many of whom at once left in dis gust. This was not a public reception, open to everybody, but was one that could be attended only by those specially invited by card. In this it was very different from the occasion when Fred Douglas and his white wife attended a public re ception during Mr. Cleveland’s first term, about which Republican speakers and papers have told so many false hoods. WHAT DEMOCRACY STANDS FOR. Washington Gazette-Messenger. The News and Observer, in the Sunday edition had an editorial headed. “Temper ance Legislation in This State.” Though it is so long we can not reproduce it in full, it is so full of great truths we can not refrain from copying now and then a paragraph or section. Any man who does you an ill turn will • never forgive you for it. MORE PETITIONS TOR LIQUOR eiLL %' r * a . u State Must Get Cash for Use of Convicts. QUIET DAY IN THE HOUSE Gen, Bryan Came Near Breaking the Solid Pritchard Vote of the Republican*— Nothing but Local Bills are Acted Upon. Yesterday was an extremely quiet day in the House. The bills introduced and those acted upon were all of a purely local nature, and their titles in the de tailed report below will give all neces sary information as to their contents. The only thing of any general import whatever was the striking out of the bill to incorporate the Winston-Stuart Turnpike and ailvvay ompany the section authorizing the use of State convicts or the turnpike, to be paid for in stock of the company. That is a matter that has caused some little trouble heretofore, and the desire was to avoid any possible complications. Hereafter, all typewritten bills, to which there is no amendment, will be sent to the Senate without engrossment.’ THE DAY IN DETAIL. Speaker Gattis called the House to or der at 10:30, and Kev. W.

Upon objection being made to this bill without some explanation, Mr. Rucker got it mixed with the Carnegie Library bill.

Chairman Roberson, cf the Commit tee on Corporations, explained that the bill only construed the law of 1901, which was in doubt, as to corporations of this character being liable for insurance tax.

The session of the House and Senate to ballot for an United States Senator was without result, the usual ninety and nine public and private citizens of the State receiving from one to three votes each. ) The event of the session ' vas t )rea k [in the solid Republican vote for Sena ' tor Pritchard. Mr. J. Q. A. Bryan, of Wilkes, evoked the first applause and I laughter of the series of frightfully dull' sessions, by announcing his vote as fol lows: ‘ The Honorable W. F. Porter, vice-president of the Panama Exposition Company, of Buffalo, New York.” L. L. Smthi, of Gates, received a num ber of votes and was loudly applauded. Among the new ‘‘dark horses” voted for, were Messrs. J. P. Caldwell, of Meck lenburg; T. J. Redding, of Randolph; E. M. Armfield, of Guilford; J. T. Finch, of Randolph; H. B. Short, of Columbus; T.

Pridgen, of Lenoir. Golden Opportunity for Legislators. To the Editor: I have read with groat interest and much pleasure your several editorials on the subject of “advanced temperance legislation.” They impress me as being eminently wise and appro priate, and if our legislators will act upon the suggestions made and take the different bills now before the General Assembly and incorporate the best fea tures of these bills into a law, by so do ing, they will accomplish a work for the people of North Carolina, whose good results can not now be forecast, anil for which generations yet to come will rise up and call them blessed. All who have given thought to the mat ter, whose eyes have not been blinded by the selfish interest in the traffic, know that the liquor business has been the bane and curse of thousands of our people, and that the State can not make the industrial, educational, social and re ligious progress she should make, until the whiskey traffic is entirely removed, or put under the most effective police regulations. There is enough in the his tory of the saloon dealers, with the home life in North Carolina to arouse the hot blood in every heart. It is amazing to see how patiently the people have borne with the ruin it has wrought, whereas it has had right of way or unrestrained li berty. The main problem of the day in poli les, whether the view point be party ascendency, moral or financial interest, is the anti-liquor question- No power of legislation, and no power that can be obtained by labor combinations, or by schools and churches, can help the la boring man while he spends his money for drink. The men who devote their time and money to social reforms without point ing to the saloon and distillery as the principal causes of poverty and degen eration, are striking with a straw, and seeking figs where only brambles grow. It is estimated that fully one-half of the drink bill comes out of the wages of the working men- It is needless to re iterate what all our legislators know, that the greatest hinderance to our pro gress as a people is thq whiskey evil — and the party now in power can erect for itself a monument that will stand through the ages by giving the people partial if not full deliverance from this veritable Moloch, who consumes young and old who worship at his shrine. L. W. CRAWFORD. Greensboro, N. C-, Jan. 28, 1903. Enthusiastic for Temperance. To the Editor: I have long enjoyed the reading of your paper, but your last Sunday edition, January 24th, has caused me to feel a very special interest in your paper, because of the true and earnest position you have taken in behalf of the temperance cause, which is being so much agitated around the legislative halls as well as over the entire State. I most heartily endorse your stand and feel proud to know that your are stand ing in such power to defend those who have suffered because of strong drink, and to uphold principles that are so noble and true, and will, when incorporated into the Democratic party give it a founda tion that can’t be shaken by those who would hold us accursed by the liquor .traffic. We are proud that we have such a noble legislation at work and when we have the blessing handed out as a law. We will then have the grand and great party that is standing for true protec tion for the most helpless women and children. Our people are enthusiastic for the passage of the London bill. Earnest prayers are being offered in our churches for those who are fighting this great battle. A. G- CON. Winterville, N. C-, Jan. 28, 1902. Progress and Temperance. To the Editor; I most heartily approve your work for temperance. I am very much interested in our churches and schools and I know that work for tem perance means work for them, but if I did not care for churches and schools I would still be interested in temperance reform, on account of our social and busi ness relations. I realize more and more that we can never make much material progress so long as there is so much li quor drinking among the people. Won derful changes have been wrought in Johnston county in the past four years in favor of temperance and we are more aroused than ever before. J. M. BEATY. Smithfield, N. C., Jan. 28. New Methodist Church at Kinston. (Kinston Free Press.) At a meeting of the board of stewards of the Methodist church, it was decided by a vote of nine to four to purchase the lot at the corner of Queen street and Peyton avenue for the site for the new church that is to be built this spring by the Methodists. The trustees have held an option on this lot, which is owned by Dr. John A. Pollock, for some time, and at the meeting of the board of stewards, which body voted as above stated, it was decided to close the trade and build the church on this site. The consideration is $4,500, and it is the in tention to begin the erection of a splen did brick edifice at an early date, pro bably at the opening of spring.
