Tom Dixon's Novel The Citlsen will with tomorrow's is sue berln the publication of Tom Dix on novel, "The Leopard's Spots.- It is a thrilling story of the recon struction era In the Southern States. Many of the scenes are laid in this State and some of the characters will be recognized as North Carolinians prominent In those stirring times. The story presents the race problem from the Southern white man's point o view, and is the most uramatic story ever written about the South. I; a.vfcs a tlvtd picture of the desola tion of the country. though it 1s now al most impossible to imagine any laa o laid waste and so deprived of its ef fective bread-wlnnei a as the South was in 18CS. Following this description conu.s the narrative of the control of the Stat Government by the worst element oi society drawn from both sections of the country. The debauchery of public offices which took pl;ii-e in s s.v.- of the JT thern rapUaU is al.-uf t incredible Btt the- picture Ir. Dixi- makes is taken fiom actual record:- In fact In wrlt.'r.g tfcf i-tory he drew i.i iely from "Ilea of the newspapers oa thi-t date. Following these stirring events omen j the period of definite toniiir t between the two races, when the mgro. who ??i a slave had lived in Intimate ass t Ion with the white, become etu::? ed and hostile. This Is the era oX the rie of the Ku-Klux. In fact one rev oiutlon followed another with .jtuch startling rapidity that this period ot ur history affords the most dramatii ett.nj; to fiction that can be founJ. A beautiful love Ftory runs throutii th trigvc event which kwp the r -aiio: alert a i re I ktpt by the mou dra-rat U rtoiiee of Victor Hugo. Th: j..liit of viw Is that of a South- rt wh't" man, in regard to the ques lion of Keconxt ruction and the rela tions of th( races, and the action is lor.tlnuous. The novel is so skillfully construct ed that the development of the story, which begins in 1865. brings it down almost to the present day. The Citlsen ha secured the exclu sive tight to the publication of thin story In this section of the State, and for the next few weeks it will form a most Interesting feature of this pap.r. Too Much Temper, Judge Though Judge W. S. O'B. Robinson irf a man of bright intellect and pos sessed of some commendable traits of character, his conduct on the bench has often been such as Is not exactly becoming a Superior court judge. It will be remembered that only a few year tgt. while a well known at torney from Macon county was aigu in a case before him. Judge Itoblnsou put cotton tn his ears to show. 1; td claimed, his con tempt for the alt. rn'V and his argument. More recently he ordered another attorney who was ar g.'rg a case in rourt at K iUi;?h to fit down, and the attorney, nettled by th public discourtesy, immediately walk ed out of court, leaving hN case in the mlliJle of its trial. And r.dVr from FayettsvtUe. where Judee Iloblnon Is this week heading cwurt. entms the le- poiit i t a sdmllur occurrevt- there. It appears from c.lspati hes in tno nu: n ing papeis. that ia entt-rin upon the i ..c a cao.t-ii c U,t Wcdnts l iy the prosecution asked that the special venire be dran from th- jur b-rc. as this was about to be done. ex-Con gressman John G. Shaw railed attest lion to the fact that the box was brought Into couri by the sheriff. while the law required that duty of the clerk of the board of county commissioners, who was Its custodian. Judge Robinson r marked that the solicitor had waived that point, and requested Mr. Shaw to take his seat. The latter stated that he merely wished the Jury drawn under legal forms, on which the Judge again ordered him to take his seat, adding that the court was not run by technl caoiuea. Mr. Shaw took his hat and vercottt and left the room. Such displays of temper on the par! of a Judicial officer have no place in a tourt room, and a Judge, though he should be arm in his rulings, has no right to order an attorney around at though be were a servant. Lawyer? have some rights la court, and these rights even a Judge ought to respect. While one- cannot help but wish that Mr. Shaw, knowing the eccentricities ot Judge Robinson, bad manifested mor patience, still It cannot be denied that, under the above statement of facts, he had due cause to feel offended and hurt. Wt hear much of legal ethics and the respect the bar . should pay the court. 8uch instances as those recited above sometimes lead one to Inquire if th shoe is not on the other foot. Whltelaw Held, editor of tht New York T fbune. win represent us at the ooronati'n of King Elwsd. Cere land bad ratber co Xlghtngi anyhow. Where's Keith? Interesting news comes from Wash ington to the effect that Prltchard baa offered the Hon. Daniel L. Russell the Wilmington collector hip and Russell has replied that he'll "consider it" ana give his answer Monday. Thus Prltch ard seeks to lead our ex-Governor off Skinner's trail. But what has become of the Hon. Benjamin Franklin Keith. he who at one time composed one-half the Silver Party of North Carolina, Dr. Mott being the other half? Only yester day the dispatches said Keith had the jrlad and palpitating endorsement Of Prltchard and Butler et als for the col lectorthlp. Today Russell has that Job if he wants it. and Keith is not even deemed worthy cf mention. Perhaps he's slated for "something better." We hope to at leaft. for In his attempt to bring together the fag-ends of the op position to Democracy that he may be returned to the Senate. Prltchard can not afford to ignore all that remains of the Silver Party. Rise Ktlth and claim your own! Compulsory Education There : are many evidences that the sentiment in lavor of compulsory edu cation is growing in the South. The most recent utteiances on the subject come ficm Governor Aycock of North Caiolnia and Governor Mcbweeney of South Carolina, in his message to the general assembly of that State Tues uay Governor Jticbweeuey used these worcs: "The objector to compulsory educa tion will utge that tiny patent luw itie rigai to uetemme wuat euucaiioii euaii be given nis own enna, and that me Mate has no riant to interfere in an at i s cj the taumy. V litu a tou iuigus uidcase invaata the Slate nu question ot tma kind is raised, but the istate laites ttteasiuies to 8 tain p out tiie UiScase und asks not for permission tu establish a quarantine against the j-iead of the malauy. The two cases, aie similar, ignorance is the worst of diseases und the State has the right io require that the children shall be t.miicrhl nn In surh m wav fla tn maki the best possible citizens. It is also urged that the cost will be too great. 'II. e Mate Is now spending more than a million dollars on the education of Its ch.ii.it n. and the proper position is that eveiy child of school age should reap Its Ebare. But the greatest objec tion will' h is urged to compulsory ed- ucation the South is the ever-pres- ei.t r.tt . and the fear that if he is ed-uiiitfi- he cannot be controlled. The falls -y of this argument is patent to -! ;-;y thoughtful man. It is a fact known and recognized that in this State at present. In proportion to the p "i:hUo f f each, there are a great many more negro children than whites rf-ivSng the education provided.

The po-itlon of Governor Aycock of t tfJs Stale on compulsory education. ws expressed in a speech at Charlotte on the tame day that Governor Mc Sweeney'a message was read to the South Carolina legislature. He said: "'ihe question now confronting North Carolina Is ti.t- education of her white childien, and this can only be accom plished by the creanon of a public opinion so pnter.t .iat no man will r'are to leave his child out of the schools.; We have made provision In some measure, not adequate to be sure, for the education of all, and the prob lem which confronts us 1 that of get tinr the children Into the' schools. Let us compel tre attendance of every chi! " n': by law.. but by the power of an .-'-ion which cannot be resisted." ChlcKenpox Doctors the Xcvs and Oberver In i , th s'n.iHpox outlt.eak at 1 V.. II.

Then he adds: "The best authorities state that chickenpox Is peculiarly a disease of childhood and ery rare af ter puberty. I ask the reader to search carefully his memory and see how mar.y tesrs of chickenpox occurring In a grown person prior to the year 18!8 when smallpox tirst made Its appear ance, he can recollect.

Our, Hats Off, Gentlemen Of course the people of Asheville felt that they were doing right and acting for the best interests of the city in vot ing an issue of bonds for a better water supply, and therefore they cared little whether outsiders endorsed their art Ion or not. But It must give them added pleasure to find their course so warmly eon.mended by the press of the" State irenerally. The News and Observer yesterday aid editorially: "A she vllle u to be congratulated u,,oa Us water bonds. It will now cOn uuct a system that will give it pure water from the mountain tops. It will t2 wholesome and plentiful. Asnevtlle moves right along tn everything that makes an up-to-date and progressive city." j Writing upon the same subject Edi tor Purman. of the Raleigh Post, a former resident of Ashevllle. says: "The wisest among a number of wise Actions taken by the good people ot Vshevllle for the betterment of that Wutlful city among the hills was that if Tuesday when they voted practically jnanlznously for the extension of the water-works system, so as to bring to he city the waters as they flow In their ?urlty from the Old Black Itself. The luestion submitted Tuesday was the Issuance of J200.000 of bonds, with which to purchase the headwaters of ne swannanoa river, extend the nalns, and thus bring the water to the -eservolr at Ashevllle la ever-fiowinr iwantlty. by gravitation. This win not inly afford an abundant water suoorv ot the purest water that th mountains afford, but without expense, the pipes once laid for Its Introduction into the city -reservoirs. We congratulate AahevtUe upon this movement, and specially upon the unanimity of her citizens with which it is Inaugurated. This, .with the magnificent new county court house now under construction, our Mountain City will take another lunge forward on the road to the high est prosperity and wealth." Pritchard's determination to chal lenge Craisr to Jol-t delate shows which way be thinks the s. notorial wind la blowing. The new grandmaster chosen by the Grand Lodge of Masons, Dr. H. I. Clark of Scotland Neck, is one of the brightest and most enthusiastic Ma sons in the State. He is a young man of character and great popularity, in every way worthy of the high honor to which he has been called- Mayor Herring Of Wilson issues a signed statement in regard to the smallpox prevailing in that town. He rays the situation has been grossly ex aggerated, and adds: "We have care fully Investigated the matter after con ference with the superintendent ct health and the physicians of the town, and find that since December 2S, 1901. fifteen families have been affected, comprising 36 persons. Of these 28 are well, but detained under quarantine regulations." Senator Pritchard's personal popu larity has led the elements opposed t the Democrats to believe that by ret ting together they will be able to el-set a Legislature that will return Mr. Prltchard to the Senate.

The State should supply a sufficiently wide educational system to leave no room for excuse for the non-education of children. With such a system in vogue a compulsory educational law would soon remedy the present lack of means in various parts of the State. WILL BEAR WATCHING. Murphy Scout.

The question that is agitating the Democratic mind in North Carolina is: How shall the Senator to succeed Prltchard be selected? There are only three ways to select the man primary, convention or general assembly. As a matter of course he must be selected by the general assembly in any event, but the other methods simply provide a plan for selecting in advance the man. to whom the Democratic party will award the high honor. There aie many and varied objec tions to a primary and we feel sure tnat thia system will not be adopted. As Democrats we had enough of the primary business in 1899, and while the result was entirely satisfactory yet It occasioned too much : cittcrness and aroused too much feeling among party men and worker and produced discord and friction. Wisdom dictates a policy Ukt will avoid a repetition of this, for the party will need to present an un broken, front to th enemy. , Will it do to leave the election of Sestator to the legislature and risk the wrangling in the various counties In ast effort to select legislative candidates who are favorable to certain men for the place? Wouldn't this arouse an tagonisms and promote bitterness in an almost equal degree with a primary? W fear that great activity n th XHB 'ASHEVILLE STATE NEWS BRIEFLY TOLD Monroe, N. C-, Jan.

R&ce; of C&ndidoLtes part of able men who are seeking this high office at the nanus of the North Carolina Democracy would result tu discord and dissension in some coun ties and might endanger Democratic success to that extent. Finally, would it not be the part of wisdom and good policy to nominate the candidate for the Senate at tn State convention? The many objections urged against the primary will not He against the convention. The Democrat ic party selects all of its candidates for State, Judicial and Congressional offices by the convention, why should it not also select a Senator in the same way? Any objection urged against the selection of a United States Senator by a convention could be sta ted with equal force in opposition to the selection of a governor or con gressman in the same manner. anri wt from time Immemorial all parties In North Carolina have held convention to nominate their gubernatorial candi dates. In case all the candidates would agree to submit their .claims to the "Democratic state. convention and abide its action. It seems to us that this would be a solution of the whole problem and the state executive com mittee could arrange all details and confirm the agreement.
