FOEieiNnHE CANAL
Kations Must First Decide Question
cf Neutrality.
Piinama, 'November 27.-The
con^iessional party, who have
been holding' hearings in connec
tion with canal appropriations,
sail fo‘ New York from
Col''11 on the steamer Ancon to
nu^ri'ow'. ThfJ local newspapers
publi.'-h a scaiement by Congress-
{iiari jawney, chairman of the
committee, that the canal wil.i
nor be I'ortilied until the various
mitiMiS have the opportunity for
dec lu) nig themselves on the ques-
tiop. of observmg neutrality in
tho Canui Zone. The statement
Cciuses much comment.
A reception was tendered yes
terday by President Arosemena
in honor of the visiting congTess-
men. A. large number of guests
attended, including the diploma
tic corps, the members of the
aibinet and a number of ladies.
There has been discussion over
the difficulties Americans experi
enced in acquiring loud in Pana-
m.i. A law was recently passed
providing that foreigners will
enjoy the rights conceded by the
law 1 or the exploitation of forests,
and also by the law respecting
the acquirement of land. This
mearis that the former law pro
hibiting foreigners from obtain
ing land if the same rights are
not accorded Panamana in the
country of the foreigner is anul-
led, thus allowing the holding of
land by others than Panamans.
it is reported that the president
of the Boilermakers’ Union of
the United States has cabled^ to
the boilermakers here requesting
them to remain at work until
President Taft passes on their
petition for increased wages.
Nearly all the men have quit
work, and many of them have
left tne isthmus.
The American Family.
“Doctor Parkhurst went
abroad last summer as usual to
inspect the people of the other
nations,” says Edward Sanford
Martin in WOMAN'S HOME COM
PANION for December. “When
he came home he said it was easy
to tell them all at sight, Italians
Irishmen, Frenchmen, Germans
- an eye, he thought, did not
need to be very carefully trained
to identify any nf them. ‘And
as for the native-born, full-blood-
ad American, ’ he said, there is
no human creature anywhere on
earth that is like him or, as I
say, that is the equal of him, *
It is certainly true that the
American of the United States
has come to have a distinct na
tional identity. I hope Doctor
Park hurst’s opinion of his supe
rior quality is also true. There
are reasons why it ought to
reasons connected with breaoih
of opportunity and relief from
various inherited handicaps that
affect all of Europe. ^
But the greatest of all agencies
to make it true and keep it true
is the American family. Out of
the family comes government;
out of the family con es education
and all the magnificent apparatus
for spreading and bettering it.
The indispensable product of a
country that would be great is
neither gold nor iron, copper,
cotton nor corn, but effectual
men and women, who know what
18 worth trying for and are fit to
attain it. And this indispensable
product is afamily product. Only
as families exist and are worthy
can it be forthcoming. We see,
and are impressed by enormous
mills, astonishing city structures
tremendous examples of the po
wer of the minds and hands of
men, but these things are no
more than the passing fruit of
the trees whose roots are in the
family. These things do not
make men. Edj^ation itself
does not make men. The
family makes men; and given
men of the right quality in the
right place and time, all these
other things will be added unto
them.”
Cat«jS"Raukuit.
Mr. Walter L. Cates and Miss
Minnie E. Rauhut were quietly
married at the historic old home
of the bride’s father, (The Holt
Home) on Wednesday afternoon
November 23rd.
_ The marriage*came as a surp
rise to their friends and the young
couple are to be congratulated on
keeping their secret so v/ell. On
ly the intimate members of the
bride’s family, her Uncle Lewis
Holt and her cousin Miss Sallie
Fox of Randleman and Henry C
Anthony, a friend ©f the groom
vvere present.
The rnairiage was simple and
beautiful. Promptly at the hour
for the ceremony, 4 p. m.. Miss
Fqx threw open th^ door and led
the waj' into the spacious parlor,
followed by the young couple to
be made one.
As they entered the relatives and
guest rose and stood during the
brief and impressive ceremony,
which was performed by Rev. D.
Mclver the bride’s pastor.
After the ceremony the bridal
party and friends were invited
to the dining room where an
elegant supper consisting of all
the good things of the season
were served.
Mr. Cates is one of Burlington’s
best known and most popular
young men. He is a member of
The Holt-Cates Co., . firm, of
which he is manager.
Mrs. Cates is the accomplished
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. ^
Rauhut. She is a graduate of-
the Salem Female Academy and
is greatly beloved of all her
friends. ^
T.heir many friends extend to
them all good wishes.
Burlington is fortunate in hav
ing these young people among us.
Hobgood~>H oruaday.
Oft times the people of our
town have been surprised but
never more so than Friday morn
ing when it was learned that
daring the silent hours of night
when most of her friends and
companions were in the land of
slumber Miss Annie Dare Horna
day had become the wife of Mr,
Chas. jB. Hobgood of Oxford. It
was known by her friends that
Mr. Hobgood was expected to call
Thursday night but little did they
think that this charming couple
would allow cupid to wind up
their matrimonial career, and
place there upon the seal of
happiness.
Miss Hornaday is a charming
young lady with hosts of friends
and admirers, who join in wish
ing her much happiness during
her wedded life. We clip the
following from the Durham Sun:
“Cupid went the limit when he
aroused Rev. G. T. Adams from
his bed this morning at 4 o’clock
to perform the marriage cermony
that made Miss Annie D. Horna
day, of Burlington, Mrs, Charles
B. Hobgood.
The young people came to the
city this morning on the early
eastbound train from the home
of the young lady. Mr, Hobgood
lives in Oxford and after talking
the matter over with the young
lady, they caught the train which
passed Burlington about 1 o'cloc »
They went immediately to the
home of Rev. Mr. Adams and he
performed the cermony in the
parlor of the parsonage at about
4 o’clock. The witnesses to the
marriage were Messrs. K, C.
Hayes, of Chase City, Va: R. C.
Cassell and^ J. D. Wilhams of
this city. “Very pretty and very
happy” is the description of the
bride that Mr. Adams gives.
What the ceremony lost in pomp
and splendor of the usual wedd
ing, was gained in the romance
ofi;he afiair, for it is not many
people that propriety allows to
marry just as the chanticlers be
gin to salute the approaehmg
dawn.”
Ford, a lumber dealer of Wilmi-
ington, and Miss Lydia Newlin,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael
Newlin, of Burlington came to
this city and were quietly mann
ed at Trinity parsonage by Rev.
G. T. Adams. The news of their
wedding was kept quiet until late
Saturday evening, when they ar
rived here to visit friends, and
the groom telegraphed to his
new father-in-law, announcing
the marriage. So far the parents
have not forgiven the bride, and
after their visit in Durham they
will return to Wilmington unless
a messE-ge is received from Bur
lington saying “Come home.”
Tainted Foods,
In the endeavor to enforce to
provisions of the National Pure
Food Law, the inspectors sent by
Dr. Wiley, head of the pure food
and drugs bureau of the Agri
culural Department have un
earthed in New York, a use for
bad eggs, ‘'rots and spots”
which the_ consumers of _ baker
shop dainties had never hitherto
suspected.. Investigation of New
York bakeries showed that in
over fifty concerns rotton eggs
were used in the making of all
kinds of cakes. So general was
this use that there was a regular
market demand in New York for
' ‘rots, ” great quanities being for
warded from Philadelphia where
the state food law prevents the
use of rotten eggs for any pur
pose. A general cleaning up in
New York is now in process, the
inspectors from the national
Health Bureau working in con
junction with representatives of
the New York Health Board. As
a consequence the supply of “rots
and spots” greatly exceeds the
demand and in consequence the
price has fallen from one dollar
per case and a half and two
to twent.v-five cents percase.
It is a question whether or hot
eggs and meats advanced toward
odorous stage of decomposition^
are deleterious to health. It cer-'
tainly has not alw^ays been
generally thought so. It is not
necessary to, journey all the way
to China to hnd gourmets with
tastes for partially decayed foods.
Most any of the black Dinahs
who preside over Southern kitch
ens will tell inquirers that game
ought to be rather ‘‘high,” high
in technical meaning pertaining
to the advanced stage of decom
position and not to the price.
Venison^ quail and rabbits are
preferred by many after the flesh
has softened and an odorous taint
has developed. There are even
those who prefer their beef
steaks a trifle “high” as to
quality. If there is really danger
in eating “high” meats, there
are many people who do not
know it.

Have we a Trust Law.
A subscriber rfequests che News
and Observer to decide who won
this wager:
“A bet B that North Carolina
had a trust law, and B contended
that there is no such law on the
statute books. Who won?
The man who bet that North
Carolina has a trust law won.
This state has a trust law- one
that pleases the trusts as well as
i £ they had written it themselves.
Under this trust law every trust,
has been free to rob and oppress
the people without even an at
tempt to protect the people from
the sway of monopoly. The
trusts prefer a pink tea trust
law to no law, because if there
is a trust law on the statute
books it is easy to satisfy the
people.
It may be, however, that the
wagei’ was as tb whether there
is a law in North Carolina against
trusts. If so, the answer is that
there is no such law. There is a
statute that has been called an
anti-trust law, but experience
has shown that it is a pro-trust
law. It is so impotent that no
offieer has invoked it, and its
continuance on the statute books
only burdens the laws and ad
vertises that the State legislated
so that the trusts could not even
be troubled—News and Observer.

Murder in Tennessee.
ClHveland Plain Dealer.
Murder has long been Ijeld a
minor offence in Tennessee. In
accordance with this theory, the
courts now declare Robin Cooper
not guilty of the murder of for
mer Senator Carmack* Killing
one’s fellow*man in that state is
not even a misdemeanor, parti
cularly if politics be involved
HI the case.
Cooper and his father killed
CarmacK, Both wer0 convicted.
There cases were taken before
the state supreme court for re
view. This court refused to take
any action in relief of the elder
Cooper and Gov, Patterson im
mediately pardoned him. Now
the son escapes all pumshment
for what would be a capital of
fense in most other states.
The pardon of Cooper led to
the complete undoing of Patter
son; and in his fall he dragged
down his party in that state.
For Tennessee last week elected
a Repubhv-^ii governor. Political
events sometimes more swiftly
when some act o peculiar flagr-
ance incites a people to righteous
indignation.
Thus ends the Carmack incid
ent, so fiar as the courts are con
cerned. The primal right of a
Tennessean, to murder is estab
lished beyond cavil.
Author Mock, of Winstcn- Sa
lem, wais brought here last Fri
day to take the Pasteur treat
ment, and because there was ne
pk ce fOT him to be k(^pt he was
placed in the Wa.ke county j ail,
and unles ssbme .provision is made
for his care, he will remain f here
until he has coinpleted the course
of treatment vvhich will: take
twentw-pne days; This is an un
fortunate state of affairs. Though
he has committed no crimev he
must be incarceratea: for thi«e
v^reeks in order to take a treat
ment that will s^ve his life. :
Mock is a white man, apparent
ly about 45 years age, and has
been an inmate of ihe Forsyth
County Home, Last Thursday
morning he wasy attacked >by a
rabid dog and bitten in BeveraS
places. He was brought to this
city Friday by the county physi
cians and because of his mehta?
condition, he being an imbecilB,
no place could be secured for
him to stay durin g the treatment.
As a last resort application was
made to the ebunty authorities
for permission for hira to stayin
the county jail, which was grati-
ted. ,
Three other people bitten by
the same dog are taking the Pas
teur treatment, they being Mt,
J. W. Kiiig, ■ Miss Jumey and

guard for the appoach pf the

was more than two hoiirs long
and conversation flourished at
times. One knot fell to discuss

The secret of his success,”
said a villager, “is that he is a

“That makes me think of the
