THE OAUCA01AM PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY HX TUB CAUCASIAN I'CB.CO.U SUBSCRIPTION BATES. 1 .IO .eo S3 ait MoDtb. TkrM Month: 11. THE WAKU LigUOK DILI.. Kluewhere in thU Uue will be found a copy of tho "Ward bill," l.aed by tho recent leglnlature. It prohibits the manufacture of whiskey in towns of Ictjs than ore thousand inhabitants, but it will be noted that it will does not fuilLnr nbtrict tho tale of liquors In the Slate, and for this reason it fails to t-veu refctuiblo teiuperinee, notwiih standing it was advocated by Sim mon?, Dauiela and IJaliey, all poll tuians of tho same claes. If a mil lion gallons of whiskey wero manu factured in the tmall towns iu this Btato and none of it ever bold or drunk, it could do no harm. It is o:.Iy the consumption of whiskey that does harm, and this the Legis lature did not attemp to restrict. The Ward bill is only a political makeshift, fathered by political bhlfters. There Is no question of morals or temperance involved in the bill. It will not clcse a single bar-room in North Carolina or les sen by one drink the consumption of whiskey in the State. Whether the whiskey trust paid for the en actment of the Ward bill or not, It in of more benefit to them than to any one else. Ex-Uov. Jarvis, one of the most prominent Demo crats in Eastern Carolina, in an in lerviow with a correspondent of the Chariot! e Observer has the follow ing to say of the Ward bill: "It amounts to nothing. It is a tmare and a delusion. It does not touch a solitary bar-room in North Carolina, or amend any weak spot in the Watts law touching the sale of liuuor; and does not affect a sin gle county in the eastern part of the Htate whero liquor will continue to resold in har-rooms in a thousand villages. To call it a moral or a 3 temperance question is simply ab surd." INCOMI'KTKNCif. We now havo tome more acciden tal laws up 11 our staluto books. Tho Code cemmbsion has discov ered that a local game law intended lor one t wndiip in Anson county is so worded that, under the decis ion of the Supreme Court in the anti iuEr law case, it will apply to W CT tho whole State. The first section of tho law provides that it shall be unlawful to hunt, trap or fish on the lands of another in Jonesboro township, Anson county, without the consent of the land owner. The second section provides that it shall be unlawful to kill any partridge, snipe, quail, deer, wild turkey, wild duck, or other game biid except from November the 201 h to January 20th next succeed ing of each year. As there is no provision limiting this law lo An son county, ihe court may hold that it applies to the whole Btate. It seems that another blunder was made in an act passed repealing.the law relative to electing county com missioners and justices of the peace of Wsrren county, so as to re-enact another law. It is generally be lieved that the Supreme Court will construe the repealing act iu this ease as applying to the entire State, if the decision in the anti-jug law cau be taken as a precedent. In this case Warren county will be the only county in the State under any pro visions for electing its commission ers. This being true it would seem that an extra session of the Legis lature would be necessary to correct these mistakes. But from an ex tra session, we hope to be delivered. The ring Democrats of Charlotte have been trying to beat a certain Con federate veteran for the office of tax collector lor several years, but could never succeed in beating him at tho primaries. So now they have abolished his office in order to get rid of him. Yet, during the next campaign these same ring Democrats will go around with tears in their eyes telling how they love the Confederate soldier and how much they have done for him. They have ridden him to death, and as in the Charlotte case, kicked him to one side when he was of no further use to them, - v l KALEJQU'S NEW ritltf ART UW. The Democrat of Raleigh have a new law 1 emulating the city prima ries, to punitb frauds. The mana gers of the prims tic mut take an oath that be will fairly, impartially and honestly discharge hU duti, atd before any ballot are received at any tkctlou, immediately be fore opening the pod, the managers shall ojen each billot box to be unrd In election, and exhibit thm publicly, to khow that there ate nu billots in the boxes. Who would htvo thought ibat it would ever have been necessary for these good government Democrat to pJs J' to prevent their fellow Democrats from tteallus acd perpetntlaz other kind of frauds at urluntiei and convention. This seems to be a frauk adtuissiou that they have! been atufllng baJiot borei acd com mitting fraud in former eUct ion?, or it would not have been uece. sary to piss such law. The law further requires that a delegate to a convention mu3t cirry.oui the choice of his parly and that if he fails to do so lie shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Under thi law any dolegatothit failed to vote for the machine candidate would be guilty of a misdemeanor and could bo im prisoned for eame. The machine Democrats have "got'eni", and the other lhmocratlc delegates must volo their way or run the risk of going to jail. How do you like it? THE WAIl. Home days ago Kuropatkin, com mander of the Itusslan lorces, was retired in disgrace by the Czar Liter, at his request, ho was giver a command under his successor, Gen Llnievitch. This was just follow ing the crushing defeat the Russians received at the hands of the Japa nose at Mukdeu. and it seemed to us bad policy to change command ers while tho Kussian lorces were still retreating in disorder. The Japanese have driven the enemy from Tie Pass, forty miles througl tho mountains to Surgaria where the Russian commander has now established headquarters. There is an open valley for many miles be yond Surgaria, and if the Japanese are able to pi ess on and force the euemy into the valley it is more than probable that the Russians will again meet with a crushing de ft at. In such an event the Czar would have to furnish a new army or discontinue the war. But before a new army is gent it will be neces- sarp to float a loan. Last week Russia tried to secure this monoy in Paris but failed. The Czar's gov ernment is said to have enough money to prolong the war for four months, but even with this cash on hand, it is in need of more fund?, and if the Russian government does not succeed in floating a loan in the near future it will probably cause the Czar to otter terms of peace. The Charlotte Observer regrets that the recent Legislature did not provide for a bureau of immigra tion and an immigration commis sioner; and it still hopes something can be done to induce immigrants to this State. You helped to run labor out of the State and ne doubt you feel you snouiu ao something 10 get more labor in its place. But we object (o the tax-payers having to pay some worthless politician a big salary to try to induce toughs and bums from other countries to locate in this State Such classes as would come would not work, unless they operated under the Ward bill. We have too much lawlessness in the State now without paying more to have it increased. The Norfolk Virginian Pilot says: The North Carolina Legis lature passed. 1,235 acts. Unless it repeals 1,300 that State bids fair to learn -a new lesson in misgovern ment." We certainly hope we have noth ing new to learn in misgovern ment, for we have had more than our share of mtegovernment and law lessness in this State ever since the first red-shirt campaign in 1898, and we fear there will be no relief until the volers of the State throw off this yoke of Simmoniem. It is stated that the Governor and his staff got lost when they went to see the President inaugurated. But that isn't a circumstance to how we will lose them in this State at the next election.

Taaa Act PMd It? tW tjttUlmtmrm, The "Ward bill," slby the recent legislature, U Ir.tecded to amend the "Watts law" or 1&03 by stipulating that It that! be un lawful for any pmon or pewow, firm or corporation to manufacture or rectify for gain any pirituou, vioouscr malt liquors or intoxicat ing; bitter within the gtate of North Carolina, exept in incorpo rated eitks and towns having not than one thousand ooyuuiUoa, wheroia tho auau Future of liquor is not, or may not hereafter be pro hibltel by the hw or reguhlvd by fcl-feal statute." Then every city or town iu which manufacturing or selling Is pemilt ttd under this act shall maintain ;a town or city to remanent as pro vided in Its charter and a police force of not lees than two police men, and some member of the po lice force is required to vleit each place where liquor is sold or manu factured in the town at least once a week to see if the laws are being obeyed and if the place is being conducted in an orderly mauner.and to make a written report of his visit to the mayor and board of al dermen, which report the mayor which report the mayor shall deliv er to the solicitor of the district. In case of the failure of any town to carry out these requirement?, the county commissioners may revoke and cancel license authorizing the sale and manufacture of liquor in that town. Another section is added which makes the possession and issuance to any person of a United States license-to eell, manufacture or rectify, at wholesale or retail, in any coun ty, city or town where the manufac ture, tale or rectification is forbid den by the laws of the State, prima facie evidence that the party Is guilty of doing tho act permitted in the license, in violation of the Htato law. The act is to take effect from January 1, 190G. A special act makes it a misde mtanor for any person to allow a distillery to bo operated on his land in all territory where the manufac ture and sale of intoxicating liquors is prohibited, and sheriffs and their deputies and police officers are re quired to search for and seize any distillery in such territory and de liver it to tho United States author ities for confiscation, and destroy any materials found at such dis'il- lery also toteize any liquor found in the possession of any person not tax paid and stamped as re quired by the United States gov eminent and deliver it to the United States officers. It shall be the duty of the sheriff or his deputies or police officers, when informed of violation of this act, to arrest tho offender and sub poena all persons who-may have information regarding the offence charged. Any solicitor who be lieves that liquor has been manu factured or sold contrary to law in his district, may have summoned any persons believed to havo kuowl edge of the offense before the grand jury. Landlord add Tenant Act. Two acts were passed relative to contracls between landlord and ten ant for lands and crops. One makes it a misdemeanor for any tenant or cropper who procures advances from his landlord to abon don the lands rented by him with out good cause and before paying for such advances; for any landlord who may contract with a tenant to furnish advances so he can make a crop to ret use to lurmsh the ad vances. And any person who em ploys a tenant who to his knowl- edged has violated this act shall be liable to the landlord for the amount of the advances made and also be guilty of a misdemeanor. When ever any tenant shall contract for the rental of lands for the current year and fail to perform the terms of his contract he shall forfeit his right of possession and the land lord may recover possession. This law applies to the following counties: Wayne, Lenoir, Greene, JohnstOD, Jones, Onslow, Craven, Cleveland,. Sampson, Pitt, Duplin, Gates, Cumberland, Perquimans, Chowan, Robeson, Bladen, Nasb, Harnett, Edgecombe, Hertford, Wilson, Rockingham, Pender, Cur rituck, Gaston, Northampton, Beau fort, Chatham, Tyrrell, Mecklen burg, Guilford, Halifax, Caswell, Camden, Cabarrus, Columbus, Mar tin and Montgomery. The other act is partially the same except that in addition it makes it unlawful for anyone to entice or prodcure a tenant or cropper" abandon or fail to cultivate the land, or after receiving notice to harbor on his own premises or on the prem ises of another, another, any such tenant. This applies to the counties of Hyde, Wake, Amon, Hertford, Sampson, Franklin and Union. In order to aid farmers desiring to hold their cotton for higher prices an act was passed extending the act of 1901, chapter. 678, by reducing the bond required of warehouse men from $25,000 $10,000 and pro viding also that if any warehouse company has a capital stock of not less than $5,000, it shall not be re quired to give the bond. The act also makes all warehouse receinta issued by warehousemen complying with the law valid and binding in tie hands of all bona ride holders for value without registration. This of course means that farmers can obtain money on their ware house receipts as if they were checks, or use them in trading as money.

The Legislature that died by rea son of expiration and exhaustion, the other day, cost the tax-payers $70,000, and with the exception ot over 1,000 county local bills, like hogs and goats sleeping under churches, etc., what have they got for the $70,000? The lawyers re vised tne uoae to. suit tneir prac tice and appropriated between $500,000 and $1,000,000 more mon ey for expenses than there will be revenue at tho valuation of prop erty last year, Oh! yes, they have the Watts Jaw. the Ward bill and the jug law thrown in as a whis key eop to the old soakers, to catch voters. Davio Record. A bill was introduced in the North Carolina Legislature allowing Peter Spoopendike, a well-known local character, the right to hold earth-worm bait in his mouth while fishing. Owing to the unusu al importance of the bill, all the little frivolous matters such as per tain to the general welfare of the State were set aside and several long and philosophical speeches were made, both for and against. It was finally. decided that Pete had a right to hold earth-worms in his mouth, and to eat them, too, if his stomach craved them. We are glad this great question has be in so satisfac torily settled.

More than half a hundred of the employes in the building were maimed, burned or bruised by the time they reached safe ground. Some had jumped from the roof, some from windows and others had been injured in the mad rush to es cape from the doomed factory, which from all parts emitted the in tense, awful heat of an inferno, driving back the band of heroic rescuers who, in a few brief mo ments had performed . gallant ser vice. - .
