Editorial Rooms, 25S. 411 communi cations should be address to The Cakolina Publishing Company, Elizabeth City, N. C. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1906. The New York laboring men are quite anxious that the Department of Justice shall take t the necessary steps to prepare the coffin trust for buriak but the Department has re ceived such a shock over the decision in the beef trust' case that it will re quire time before it gets into the ring again. Then the administratlor has declared its hostility to most of ! the things ' labor wants, anyawy. That $100,000 appropriation for a private car for the president has been sidfetracked until the amount actually necessary can be discovered, for "it has been found that however much is appropriated the administration ex pends it all. ! When such ! expert lobbyists as "Judge" Hamilton and "Lou" Payn agree that the admitted amounts paid by the Insurance companies as cam paign contributions was a mere bagatelle" how the people will open their eyes when they know the whole truth about the connection, of the Re publican committees with this "yel low dog fund.' All the cabinet but Mr. Mood are said to be out of harmony with Presk dent Roosevelt j on the control of rail road rates, which shows how the lead ing Republican statesmen are owned and controlled by the corporations. No similar conditions have prevailed under any former administration, and it! is safe to say that a house so divid ed against itself can hardly endure. It may come to this that President Roosevelt in self defense will have to compromise with the corporations, or if he is an earnest, reformer, he will have to invite Democratic statesmen to join his official household. ' Monument to Colo- j ! nial Heroes. The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world, sayeth the apothem however, this may be, whether it is co-extensive with the universe it certainly finds its applica tion in Wilmington North Carolina. The Colonial Dames of that city unveiled this week a monument to the Colonial heroes who have addei glory to its. annals! There are few towns that can fur nish such a glorious Colonial history. The Ashesj the Waddells, the De rossetts and many ! other ' illustrious families antidate the Revolution and they still illustrate the history of Wilmington. j Long may they live to give lustr? to her name. The Man With the Muck-Rake. On Saturday the ceremony of lay ing the corner stone of the new office building of the House of Represen tatives at' Washington was performed under the auspices of the Mason'c lodge.. It was largely attended by an ' immense assemblage of the peo ple, by the president and the official representatives of the government. The gavel used by the Master Ma son was the same that was used by Washington 113 years ago at the lay ing of the corner stone of the capitol when the city city of Washington was a mere village. ' The building will cost three millions of dollars and will be an ornament to that city of magnificent buildings. The conspicuous feature of the oc casion was the address of President Roosevelt: When he arose he was , greeted with applause b the large multitude and his speech was admit tedly an j original sensational and graphic picture of the times as the president sees them. It has attracted much attention from the people and the press of the country and has met w,ith criticism by some and ap proved by others, i The inspiration and text of his ad dress was taken from Bunyan's' 'Pil grim's -Progress" one of the most not able, productions in English litera ture and has lightened a load of many a weary pilgrim in the pilgrimage of life. It was the 'Man With the Muck .Bake! is a man. wno rases up mia. ana throws it upon the manure pile to be used as a fertilizer to enrich the soli. Figuratively a man who makes it his pleasure to seek out the weak spots in pco-r numan nature and expose it to tae uensioJ, contempt and; indigna tion oi tne world.; Tae man with tiia muck rae is nut la iuiai ideal ouc ha is cua useful ia htS vocauoiX. He vce a monster of such form and mien ; : That to be hated: needs but be seen.' The conductor of a public press perhaps more than any other member of a community has -the painful duty of using a muck rake. It is a heroic task and requires a strong back bone to perform it faithfully. The public should be generous to his severity it Is much easier to applaud than to condem and misplaced approval is condemnation disguised. The President; Is an all round man, a gooa nater ana we irusi a. friend. He uses a muck rake In rak ing up millionaires! and throwing them up upon the manure heap. - He evidently has no smiles Tor capitalists combinations and trusts, and he; will go down to posterity as a man who would forsake his party friends for the sake of the! right. j If any protection ; can be afforded from fire in Elizabeth City where so many shingles are used, have so many frame structures? Is not it just policy to use it? Yes, anyone would say, and our materials afford it. Gi braltar Paints and Roofing for ; sale by Davis and Williams. ONE KILLED AND FIVE INJURED. Sad and Fatal Result of Collision Be tween an Automobile and a Wagon Ik- l ! Millville, N. J., April 17 In a colli sion between an automobile andv a wagon near here early this morning the- auto, was overturned, killing one and injuring five. Robert J. Wright, of Philadelphia, a lawyer, had his head crushed and was killed instantly; Fred H. Mullin, of Philadelphia, had his leg bruised; Thos. J. Meacher, of Philadelphia, suf fered from contusions and had his shoulder sprained; Roy Pancoast, of Vineland,; had an arm broken; Miss Sadie Murphine, of Millville, i back wrenched, and chauffeur's assistant, Wildwood, an arm broken. Questions asked and answered by T. A. Gould, the paint man: First is it strange our paints resist fire? No. Asbestos ; won't burn. The Gil man process has proved the secret of using asbestos and with other proper ties make our j paint fire resisting. TROUBLE EXPECTED. Springfield, Missouri, Is a Sleeping Volcano Today Rioting is Momen tarily Expected. Springfield, Mo., April 17. The city this morning is a sleeping volcano. On' the surface things are quiet, but the officials recognize that there is an undercurrent which they fear will result in further excesses. There are some 5,006 negro resi dents here in five settlements. s Sheriff Horner says he would not be surprised to ; see ; operations begin in these settlements m after darkness this evening. ; i ! Officers are out this morning with thirty-five more bench warrants call ing for the arrest of alleged members of the mob on the charge of murder in the' first degree. Five similar war rants have already been served. At 9 this morning the grand jury notified Judge Lincoln that it was ready to report. The judge excused the I jury until later on, when it will return bills. f I I . : The court officials say that' at! least 100 indictments, charging murder in the first degree,, will be submitted, and these will include the men named in the. bench warrants. Why cannot we use Just as good oil,; and lead as any one else? Can anyone say we do not? ; BANKS ASKED TO FUMIGATE MONEY. Pennsylvania Health Commissioner Issues Circular to This Effect.

There are only fCyr lots left and there is a part! talking very seriously of taking one of them. YOU HAD BETTER SEE ME AT ONCE. ! In 1854 Mr. Josiah White sold to Mr. Wm. H. Clark about 68 fooot fronting on Water street and running o the river and fronting on the river 104 feet, or half of the block. The consideration was $2,000. Upon part of this he built a three -story building. This property passed to others and in 1889, Mr. E. F. Aydlett bought it at the court house door at $6,025. I ! . ' ' This was sold for division. Mr. D. B. Bradford owned 1-4 interest, Mr. J. B. Fearing 1-4 and other heirs of Mr. Fearing 1-4 interest. COST HIM $5,025. Before taking deed, Mr. Aydlett sold a small piece of river front property to A. L. Pendleton for $1,000 making his cost him $5,025. I am told that Mr. Aydlett has spent about $5,000 on repairs build ing. ONLY FOUR MORE. They are getting down now so that one man can easily buy and build on what's left and there are many in town and county that can do this single handed. You who can THEREFORE, make out with one or two lots had better see me and make appli cation. You will never again have an opportunity to buy Water street water front property at these low prices.

At the time Mr. Aydlett bought 1 believe they were lending money at 8 per cent. 1 I will venture to assert, since the purchase, this property has averaged Mr. Aydlett 10 per cent, on the total Investment.
