SPEAKER JUSTICE'S FINE SPEECH. The State is to be congratulated upon; the selection of Mr. Justice as Speaker of the House of Representa tives. We do not know how 'our Cumberland members , voted in the Democratic caucus, but hope they voted for Mr. Justice. His admirable speech upon taking the Speaker's chair was as follows : "Gentlemen of the House of Repre sentatives : ' ' .. "I cannot express my feelings of gratitude and appreciation of the hon or you have conferred upon me in selecting mi as Speaker of this' hon orable bod). I do sincerely tnanlc vou for it. I trust that no member ot this body will have cause to feel that in the administration ot my of fice I have been a partisan. When our labors shall have ended it, i my sincere desire that' you will believe that I have been just and Yair to caeh of you and just to my State. -Those of you who are of a different party from the one to which I belong will find me always willing to extend to you the treatment and all the courte sies that members of this body have the right to expect from the presiding officer. ' "Matters of vast importance will tax our intelligence land require the exercise of great patriotism on our part at this session of the General Assembly. The people are being ex ploited by trust and public service corporations. The solution of the problem arising from this condition of affairs must be found and coura geously adopted. It would not be possible for conspirators who have united themselves in a trust to mo nopolize the business of buying any of the products of the farms or the mines, or the business of selling the products of the lactory. In our State the law of supply and demand does not apply to the purchase and sales of many of the necessaries and com forts of life. The price of these arti cles is lowered when a trust is the buyer and raised when the trust is the seller, so that those who' sell and those who buy are forced to pay not what things are worth" but what the unlawful combinations say they are worth. The tax the people are forced to pay to these exploiters is measured alone by their greed. The tobacco which the farmer raises is sold for but little above the cost of production, but when it. is manufactured the con sumer must pay the price asked in a non-competitive market. The pur chaser of window glass, mirrors, su gar, oil, many articles of steel and of other articles must "stand and deliv er," when the trust fixes the price. This result is accomplished by meth ods that are most immoral and repre hensible and which should be unlaw ful. It is so well established that the independent manufacturer cannot share the profit on the articles the trust controls, that none dare now enter these lines of business. The fate of those who have tried to compete w ith the trust has been such as to de ter others from entering the contest. It is accepted as inevitable that the trust may buy for less than the value and sell for more than the value of articles it deals in, and that there is no power that will stop it. This should not be so, but the man, who, through the trust, robs others, should be answerable to the criminal law. The man who does this through agents in this State, while he remains outside should be brought in to this State upon the requisition of the Ex ecutive and punished as "would be the man who should send into the State through the mails a deadly machine with the expectation and purpose that it will explode when it is opened. Public service corporations should be made to perform the functions as signed to them at their creation and made to serve. The income should be limited to a fair return on their investment and for the skill and abil ity of those who operate them. Dis criminations between persons and places, similarly situated, should be subject to' such severe penalties that fear of punishment would be stronger than love of gain. Prompt and ade quate service in transporting passen gers and 'freights and transmitting messages . should be absolutely re quired, and the failure to perform it should be so severely punished that those whose duty it is to render the service wilt think first of the people's rights and second of stockholders' dividends. The, use of free passes has proved such an unmitigated evil that those who give and those who receive them should be alike guil ty of crime. They are rarely giv en with a . right purpose , or accepted by a person who is not embarrassed with a sense of obliga tion on account of it. No public ser vice corporation should be auowea to have a secret from the agents of the State that created it or permitted it to do business in its borders. Pub licity is the greatest guarantee of their doing right . The . Attorney-GeneraV-ahould - be given power-to inform himself, by sending for per sons and papers, of all the affairs of these corporations, in order to know whether the laws are being violated and when it is discovered that they are it should be his duty to prosecute the offenders. The long failure on the part of this State to use its pow ers in correcting the evils, has in part fiven rise to the belief that the power oes not exist. Under our constitu tion all power is with the State which was not granted to the United States, and there is nothing in the Federal constitution which when fairly con strued petuiits or prevents the State destroying trusts and regulating and controlling public service corpora- 1 Bee's Laxative Cough Syrup con taining Honey and Tar is especially appropriate for children, no opiates or poison of any character, conforms to the conditions, of the National Pure Food and Drug Law, Tune to. 1006, For Croup, Whooping Cough, etc. It expels Coughs and Colds by gently moving the bowels.

" tions doing business within its bor ders. The growth of the sentiment in lavor of a centralized government at Washington is due more than any thing else to the failure of State legis latures to intelligently- and bravely exercise their constitutional powers to correct abuses and the failure of State prosecuting officers and courts to enforce the law against the rich and powerful. We will not deserve the approval of this people or our own consciences unless we go to the con stitutional limit in enacting laws to relieve from the conditions obtained in this State and provide means at whatever -cost of detecting' crimes against business and punishing the offenders. The enforcement of the law will depend on the attorney-general and his powers should be so en larged and he should be given such assistance that his work will be effec tive. Because of the proportions that this immense business is assuming we should give special attention to insurance laws. The policyholders should be protected by us against loss on account of improper methods of doing business. The policy holder who has relied upon the laws of this State protecting him by keeping out of the" business, corporations whose methods are unsafe, cannot, when the companies fail, be appeased or satis fied by the assurance that the laws were passed to build up home com panies. Domestic companies will naturally, and should be preferred by the legislature, other things being equal, as well as by prospective policy holders, but it is incumbent; upon us to enact laws which will inaure abso lutely sound and conservative busi ness by the companies and at a fair profit. There are many other sub jects of more or less importance to claim our attention but I will not undertake now to recite them." "WOMEN OUTSTRIP MEN WOMEN JUST BEGINNING THEIR RACE; MEN HAVE PRETTY WELL FINISHED THEIRS." Under the above heading we find a quotation from the New York Ameri can as follows : "Women are just beginning their race. Men have pretty well finished theirs. We have all noticed how, in the last generation or two, woman has outstripped man in physical de velopment. Among the educated classes, where the essentials for health are understood and practiced, the av erage grown daughter of to-day is taller, stronger and more active than was her mother at her age, and a gen uine Amazon compared with her great-grandmother. In the last gen eration the average man has shown no improvement either in body or brain he seems to have reached his limit at a time when the average wo man is just beginning to realize the superior potentialities of her sex. Already the woman's brain is slight ly greater in proportion. Certainly it is not less. Fifty years hence k will be admitted that woman's brain has developed faster than man's. Nevertheless there are essential dif ferences between the minds of men and the minds of women. Anything in the nature of rivalry between them is fallacious and absurd. Women's minds are much better for some kinds of work, and men's for other kinds. But the brain work of women is be ing constantly better done, with pros pects of being done still better, while that of men shows little or no im provement." Some years ago this writer was di ning at the pretty cafe which crowns the height of Mount Lavinia in Cey lon the same, by the way, which overlooks the "coral strand" where Heber was pacing when he conceived bis immortal hymn and he asked his companion what the waiters were, men or women, for they all wore loose flowing garments of the same de scription. Some are men and some women, was the reply. How do you tell them apart ? Those, said he, whose hair is done up in tucking combs are men, and the others wo men. Remembering that, before the Brit ish "took over" Ceylon, the reigning native dynasty was that of women the oldest daughter of the oldest daughter it was but a step for the writer to imagine that, in one of the prehistoric cycles, woman had com pleted the race which the article quo ted from the American says she has just entered upon now, had conquered man, and had affixed the tucking comb to him as a badge of servitude, Who knows ? and who knows but that the-racers-trf our day-mayfollow-the same road ? There is no doubt that the practical enjoyment of equal po litical rights, which democracy has brought to women, setting them free from.the handicap . of inferiority, is likely to have surprising results. - As the different mental and moral attributes of the sexes descend, re spectively, along with the sex itself, it is quite conceivable that the cumu lative force of many centuries of in herited virtue in women will now en able them to ,outstrip man, burdened as he is with the cumulative disabili ty of centuries of self-indulgence. There is more than the pleasantry of a speculative fancy in, nil this certainly there seems to be to one who has seen the women of the Orient, hardly recognized as human beings, and traced the evolution of the sex through Western Asia to Eastern Eu rope, from the Bast to the' West of Europe, front England ; to America, and, even in America, from the old- fashioned woman of the Atlantic sea board , to the breezy Amazon .one meets in Colorado and California.

Ma, Editor: We told your readers a few months ago that the yellow peril was in the air, and that it was necessary lor them to pu t on their thinking caps, while Oyauia and his five hundred thousand little brownies showered, hellfire upon white men in Port Ar thor, and were driving them from lands they had leased from (he Celes tials, England and America were hoorabing for the mixed-blooded irishman, and some of them claiming kinship. Every fad was Japanese, including fans and lanterns; every thing coming from the far East was all-wool and five-quarters wide, America's ancient ally was worsted at the hands of the heathens, and they were colored people, but they were faraway then, but our strenuous President an our godd Governors favored immigration; but they want ed good ones, who was better than Japs; a colony landed 1 alifdrnia. in one corner ot the lan and the home of the b of the free ve, in that country where the foun rof Deml cratic principles declared all men were created free and equal, but at the common school house when the Jap stepped in, for practical pur poses, the theory balked; hence this renewal of the clash, State's rights against centralized power of the gen eral government. Now, Uncle Sam, what are you going to do about this muss ? Did you invite all these na tionalities to come and make their home with you, to share and share alike in all the blessings of this hap py land, or did you tell them they would be required to stay in the kitchen and back yard, while we white folks wined and dined. If you made the first proposition you should stand by it; if the second hold them to the contract. There ought to be a distinct understanding about where the alligator ceases and where the negro commences. The gaitor is got to be destroyed if the negro is saved. There is no evidence that he is sick at the stomach,; like Jonah's whale. We presume that under the constitution the Federal government has no rights exceot those granted by the several States. The general government is the creature of the sev eral States, and no State would be subject to any ruling of the general government, wherein that State had not consented or ratihed the proposi tion to grant said rule. Has Califor nia delegated to the Federal govern ment the authority to superintend her common schools? The answer to that question, settles that matter as to. its legality. Now it is possible that some of these grants, like the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments were not granted hy a free ballot and a fair count, according to the judgment .of this writer. Some of these things were done when some of the people were drunk, maliciously so; others were imprisoned like Paul and Silas, but praying for deliverance, and when the prison doors were opened rather unexpectedly, there was confusion among the drunkards. Many were like the jailor, anxious about their own personal safety. A guilty con science already has an accuser, and notwithstanding Paul's cheery voice rang out in the darkness of that awful night: Do thyself no harm, those de vils have not yet mustered courage enough to come out in the open and confess the truth, that they were guilty of usurpation and of coercion, and ever since have labored under the delusion that they had crucified State's Rights and that there would be no resurrection ; but the prophecy of that greatest champion of State's Rights must be fulfilled. When liv ing at historic Beauvoir after being bailed from prison by good old Ho race Greeley (the first presidential candidate for whom we cast our bal lot), when asked his opinion of the final result, replied in substance that whatever was true of our State's Rights theory would still live and be adopted by our northern brethren. In all that terrible storm and family con flict, he did not once forget that all mep are brothers, and some time previous when a proposition was made to him to ground southern arms, and slavery would be unmolest ed, his laconic answer will ring out and reverberate down through the centuries until the last spark of liberty is extinct: "We are not fighting for slavery, but for independence." But this centralized tendency is sneaking about. It has showed its hydra head in many ways. It is very conspicu ous in State and even in county gov ernment. Some of the farmers advo cate it in the matter of expenses per taining to the fencing of the farms, being collected and disbursed by the officials at the county sites, and many other things. By - the -enactment of sumptuary laws, many men who claim to favor States' rights subscribe to these measures, but they are sim- tply knaves or fools. They may cling to either horn of this dilemma. - But we hope for better things. We noteJanawakeningcbncerning"the mistake in recent enactments bearing upon the manufacture and sale of liquors in North Carolina. We are ashamed of her judgment as expressed by certain acts of the two last ses sions of her legislature. Does her people believe that good morals are the results of physical force or of mental training? Do you forget that the spirit liiust continue to live, while the body mingles with the dust ? Then turn to the right pay less at tention to perishable objects and more to that which endures forever. " Now, we write for- the people to read, and we hope they may have the opportunity to read and, above all, to understand.

Common drunkards are sometimes elected as Representatives in our State and na tional legislatures sometimes , our county officials are ot that class. It is not for kings to drink wine nor princes strong drink. Have you seen the drunken sot delivering a lecture on temperance, and, losing his grip on the desk, fell a confused heap on the floor? It was a practical lesson, of course, but that was different from the Master's example. He taught cleanliness and sincerity in all things and denounced hypocrisy on all occa sions. But as a rule, to-day, the so called business men are imitating every other example except the one set by the Man who was reputed to be a sacrifice for original sin. The world is clashing much about meth ods of spreading the gospel, but when it comes to spreading they balk at the foot of the hill, and they will remain there until they unload all that use less lumber they are trying to carry up. God says, 1 don't need your surplus; if you have more than you need, give it to the poor. Then they turn aside, heavy hearted, "Sorrowful, and try to devise some- other plan ; but G id is unchangeable, the same ytstuJay, to-day and forever. Honor and obey me and I will make your burdens light; before you come up you must lay that burden down. If the rnbbish of this world wererarried up ic would mar the beauty and spoil the pleasures of heaven itself. The example of Rockefeller, Carnegie & Co. won't do. It is true they are throwing; a chunk here and there, but as tbey pass alcng the one grabs a fist full from every One who is com pelled to labor by the light of a lamp, while the other snatches something from all that use material manufac tured' from steel or iron from the cotton chopper down in Dixie to the builder of skyscrapers on Manhattan Island. We are not building on suggest ions of Roosevelt or Bryan, Brewer or Har lan,' or any other authority, but on the solid rock of common sense, where there is ample room for all t . work; and if we work together we will rear a structure of fair play, and, if de fended by truth and honesty of pur pose, it will resist the empire of de cay, and never, no never, fall away. But we must always remember that one Lord, one law, one baptism is for all offenders against the laws. God is not a respector. of persons. Why should we keep one in a palace and another in a dungeon ? Now, all ef fort to answer the above question from the standpoint of common sense or right reason will be futile; only devils: seek excuses; and Paul said there was no extnsefor wrong doing. We recall one instance where a man wearing the judicial ermine uttempt- ed it. Two young men, holding im portant positions in a banking house, of prominent fa-nilies, slipped up in using money belonging to depositors. Guilty as any chicken thief that ever pulled a setting hen off the nest, the defense as usual, courted procrasti nation, and time and circumstances bring even sore boils to a head. The defendants asked for a farther stay, but the State refused to grant it, and someth' ng had to drop. It was try ing to t'lose near and dear, and we sympathize with the suffering oues, but the judge, who was a sworn offi cer, bluted out : It is presumed the characters of these boys were good, or they would not have occupied such a position. The saints deliver us from such a court of justice. It is a farce. Reimbursement of the bank's shortage was probably satisfactory, but those young rascals went un- whipped of justice, according to the statutes of North Carolina. Socrates was of the pagan age, but his sense of justice soared far above many mod era examples. As ever, Salmagundi. The McDIarmld-McFadyea Marriage. The home of Mrs. Annie McFad- yen near Argyle, N. C, was the scene Of a pretty home wedding on the even ing of December 26, 1906, when Mr. Alexander McDiarniid, a prosperous young lumberman of Battleboro Edgecombe county, was united in marriage to Miss Erne turner Mc- Fadyen, one of Seventy-First's lovely and accomplished daughters. The bride is the youngest of seven sons and four daughters, all present on this occasion except the eldest daugh ter, Mrs. C. H. Graham, who was de tained at her home in Fayetteville by sickness in the family. There was a goodly gathering of relatives and neighbors at the old homestead to join in the festivities of this happy occasion. 1 he vener able Rev. David Fairley performed the ceremony. The bride wore a lovely white or- gandiertrinrmed with -iact -and-rib bon. The rooms were tastefully dec orated in vines, evergreens and Christmas cactus. After the ceremony and congratu lations a bountiful spread was served in the dining room. The groom's gift to the bride was a lovely gold watch and chain. They received quite a number of presents. Mr. and Mrs. McDiarmid left Thurs day for Rocky Mount. Thus the youngest son and daughter of two prominent and sturdy bcotch laini lies have joined hearts and hands in lite S journey. Awful Death.
