THE CAUCASIAN (PUBLISHED JCVKRT THURSDAY BY Til J! CJ m.A.ml7t PUB.CO. I3HCIIFTIQX SATES. Ob Yaar, tlx fotfca. TbrM Moat I. l.OO eo 9S No. 11 THE WAITS LAW A FAHCE. At prem.nt Morgan ten has saloons. Not long ago tbat town voted on the whiskey question, and the mij'jrity of voters were in favor of open a loons and license were granted the barkeepers. However, a bill was introduced in the bou-e a few days ago to make Morgauton a dry town without a vote of the people. The democratic member from that county fiiiminc h w&a elected on that 1- sue, that the Coanty people did not want the saloons but could not vote on the question. Now, so far as we are concerned, it does not affect us urhothpr Morcanton has saloons or not, but the point is these demo crats are not living up to their much coveted Watts law. The Watts law, which tbe democrats are sworn to support, does not give the country people a right to vote on the question. But the member from that County has reversed tbe matter and will drive the saloons out of Mnrc&ntnn. because he claims the country people do not wish them, and disregards tbe wishes of the citi zens of Morganton. We are not saying a word against the country people, we have always been their friend, and we are their friend still, but we simply wish to show that the Watts law. which the last democratic State Convention en dorsed, Is a farce. The democrats should abide by their own laws or they should abol ish them. We do not think tha either the country or town people should be discriminated against. GOVEKNOIC AT THE WHITE HOUSE The Washington correspondent o the News and Observer informs us that Governor Glenn went to the White Housev Friday to see Presi dent Roosevelt to urge him to have withdrawn the prosecutions against North Carolina mill men charged with violation of the alien contract laws in getting girls over here to work in factories. While at the White House the Governor invited President Roosevelt to come down and Join him in a bear hunt. The correspondent says: "While at the Whi'e House the Governor extended an invitation to the President to join him in a bear hunt in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Mr. Roosevelt a once began to take notice, and soon exhausted Governor Glenn's supply of information on the subject of bear hunting in the State." we know tbat tne little Dear a White House hid in the waste basket if he did not die of heart failure when he heard the Governor invite the President to North Carolina as his guest, after Glenn had-abused and vilified the President at every op: portunity during the campaign o 1904. Has the Governor changed his opionion of the President ? If 80, he should publish the fact in the democratic dailies in the State.which papers published his vile epithet against Mr. Roosevelt in 1904 Surely, tne Governor did not ex tend the invitation with the hope of influencing the President in his de cision in favor of the mill men. MANDAMUS TO FORCE CONNEC TION AT SELMA. Some days ago the Southern Rail way moved up its schedule for the afternoon train between Goldsboro and Greensboro, thus breaking the connection with the Atlantic Coast Line at Selma. The Corporation Commission has proceeded against the Southern by mandamus proceed ings to compel it to keep its former schedule or at least wait for the pas sengers , from the Atlantic Coast Line at Selma. The Commission has also brought suit against the Southern for $1500 in penalties. The outcome will be watched with in- t tereet. Will the railroad obey the order or will the Railroad Commis sion back down ? A "weather prophet" in, western part of this -State says we will have two killing frosts in May, and nine snows before the winter is over. We fear very bad weather for the next two or three months, but we hope this weather man was only talking for excitement. The following is from tbe Hickory Times-Mercury : If tbe General Assembly la for be people, it will give the people the right of local self-government, tbe right of electing tbeir magis trate, school board and county so perintendents." And we will add tbat tbe leglaia are should a bo allow tbe Counties, whether Republican or Democratic, to elect tbeir own County Commia- uloners and Coanty Treasurers. Heretofore tbe legislature baa ap pointed extra Coanty Commission- ers after tne number reqairea oy aw had been elected by tbe people of said Counties. TbU is done to prevent Republican Counties from controlling their affairs in the County, and democratic Cointiea extra Commissioners are appointed to carry out tbe bidding of the ma chine. The last legislature created the officer of County Treasurer in Henderson, a Republican County, and then appointed a democrat to fill the job. Is It fair, Is it Just? Tbe people of tbe State should demand local self-government, and not stop until they get it. Any other form of government is tyran nical. When the vote for United States Senator was taken in the House Tuesday Speaker Justice voted for Judge Adams but quickly changed his vote for Simmons. Mr. Justice as doubtless thinking of the day he met Judge Adams in joint de bate at Albemarle last fall, and was possibly convinced that he should vote for Judge Adams for Senator, but the thought of what boss Sim mons would say might have caused him to so quickly change his vote. And a vote for Judge Adams might not have pleased the Fifth District Combine. THE NALL CASE. The Nail case, which consumed most of the week in W ake Court last week, come to a close Thursday evening when the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty, and the de fendants were released. The defense claimed that the patient Nail fell and bis head nit a stone, causing the wound on his bead, and that he afterwards died of heart failure. However, the Judge said that Nail was treated horribly cruel. Is thero no law against cruel treat ment of a helpless human being? When the legislature was in ses sion two year 8 ago a bill was passed to prevent goats from going under the cburebes in Pitt County. Mon day a bill was introduced in the House to prevent mischievous stock running at large in Pitt County. All the dumb animals had better leeve Pitt, or they will soon have no rights at all in that County. Bills were introduced in the House Monday to appoint more justices of the peace in Orange and Catawba t Counties Evidently, some of the democrats in those Counties ai hard up for a job. Is crime on the increase in these democratic Coun ties, or why is it they need extra justices of the peace ? ljasi Saturday was observed as a holiday throughout the State as the centennial anniversary of the birth of General Robert E Lee, the noted Confederate General. It is needless for us to expatiate on the life of Lee, for even every school child in the State is familiar with his his tory. The democratic members are in troducing all kinds of laws in the legislature against the railroads. But this is done only to fool the voters, When the legislature has adjourned it will be ' found that the railroads have not been hit hard enough for them to feel a bruise. We have laws against cruelty to animals, but if we have any laws against cruelty to human beings they are not receiving much attention from the courts these days. Judge of Thi Kind Should Be Barred from Office. 1 One of the best of the many sug gestions made to the legislature is that the law be amended so as to stop the exchange of circuits by Su perior Court Judges. One paper, the Roanoke Chowan Times, says 'it has been charged that exchanges have been made to give a' judge a judge a chance to punish his ene mies and to favor his friends in cases pending in courts." We have never heard of this before, but whether or not there is any basis for it, the fact that any such suspicion could arise is of itself sufficient warrant for a chancre of the svstem.

There may be no corruption in the matter, bat we are getting mighty tired of this thing of chang ing school books so often. Sbeiby Aurora. Senator Tillman continues to let his personal hatred of President Roosevelt overrule his good judg ment. Think of Senator Tillman, the Southern extremist on the race question question, condemning the President for discharging the negro soldiers who shot up Brownsville, Texas, and defending tbe soldiers ! This is what he did in tbe senate a day or two igo. The Weekly Jef- fersonsan. Tbe Nail Case Ended. The Nail case in which the at tendants at the Insane Hospital at Raleigh were charged with causing the death of Thomas Nail, of Chat ham, came to an end last Thursday evening when the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty. It will be remembered that in our report of the case last week several witnesses swore to the cruel treatment of Nail by attendants after he was captured, and another witness heard the licks and heard Nail say he would give up but did not see the scuttle. While the defendants swore they did not beat Nail and that the gash on his head (which the doctors say caused his death) was caused by Nail falling on a stone. The attorneys for the State showed that the patient presented eleven symptoms out of twelve of concus sion, and we failed to .undeistand tbat the attorneys for the defense so completely made out their case. In June before Nail's death, Dr. Ferrebee, one of tbe physicians at the asylum, discovered that patient Nail hd aheart disease. Dr. McKee, the Superintendent, testified before Coroner's inquest that Nail left hospital in good physi cal condition. Dr. Jenkins, another physician at asylum, had Nail under observation while Dr. Furrebee was on vacation just prior to Nail's death for several weeks, and he had dis covered no heart trouble. Now which physician knew most about the case. Dr. Ferrebee had made no repoit of Nail's condition to his su periors and no record had been entered except in a vest pocket memoranda produced late in the in vestigation by the board of directors. Was his vacation trip so absorbing that he left unreported the condi tion of a patient under his charge so long ? Strang;. In that part of the Governor's message in regard to salaries he says the Governor's salary should be raised to six thousand dollars a year and the other State officers' salaries proportionately raised. He tells the boys he has lived economically, and it nas cost mm $o,ouu a year, or $1,500 more than his ralary. He says some ot tbe employes and some of the State officers are no able to live upon the salaries they get. With all these thlDgs staring them in the face isn't it strange that so many men will work late and early and resort to all kinds o methods, fair or foul, abuse their su periors in many, cases, just to ge one of those offices which the Gov ernor says they are unable to obtain a living from. In the last State campaign these same State officers, who are not get ting a living out of their salaries junketed the State from Dan to Beersheba, in the interest of their party, and it's to be supposed they paid their own hotel bills and rail road fares. Guess that's patriotism and love for their country. Char lotte People's Paper. A. Letter from Richland a.

A bill waa passed in tbe House of Representative a few days ago sor tbe relief of Irvln Hail, tbe father of tbe former patient of tha State Hospital who, about a year go, escaped from the asylum in Raleigh, and received Injuries while being captured from which be died. Dr. McKee, Superintendent of tbe Hospital here, wired to Mr. Nail as to the disposition of tbe body, and Mr. Nail directed tbat it be shipped to him at his home In Chatham. But it was necessary to embalm tbe body, it being in August, and very warm weather, and the charges on it, including exproasage, amounted to about sixty dollars Mr. Nail is an old Confederate veteran, about seventy yean of age with only one leg, aud in very re ducod circumstances. He bad to mortgage practically everything be bad and borrow what he could from friends in order to get the body of his son from the express company. The remains lay for several days on- buried on that account, and the af fair created much sympathy among Mr. Nail's friends and neighbors. The bill authorizes the Treasurer to reimburse Mr. Nail. Oldest Loral Practitioner In the State. Troy Montgomery an. J The Troy bar has the distinction ot having perhaps the oldest mem ber of the legal profession in the State. Half a century ago Colonel Allen Jordan appeared before the Supreme Court of North Carolina, passed the required examination and secured license to practice law in both the County and the Superior Courts of the State. Being a matter of County if not State-wide interest he has kindly agreed to let us pub lish copies of his license, there being at the time he passed the examina tion two distinct classes of courts in the State the County Courts and the Superior Courts. Below is a copy of bis license to practice in the County Courts : ( State of North Carolina To the Justices of the Several County Courts within the Said State : Whereas, Allen Jordan hath ap plied to us,.

He has been a Republican ever since the party has been in existence, in fact he was present when tbe Re publican party was first organized and helped to give it its name. There are possibly other Republicans as old at Col. Jordan, but none any older. Ed. Caucasian. Arrested for Burning Bams In Mecklea burs' Coanty. Charlotte, N. O., Jan. 19.

Million Dollar Diamond In Mall Bajr. The American Magazine for Feb ruary contains an account of the world's greatest diamond a stone worth millions dollars recently found In South Afria. In connec tion with tbe description of the finding of the gem the following interesting facts about transporting it are brought out : "This record stone was not, as might be supposed, eent to Europe In a ship of its own. So prosaic is the civilized commerce of today, that this vast treasure was merely sealed up in a tin box registered as a postal packet' and sent through tbe malls as though it were a worthless geological specimen! It was re ceived at tbe London office of the Premier Diamond Mining Company, Ltd., and measures were taken at once to insure it for ab6ut half its approximate value say, $2,600,000. Two Reasons for Consulting Tour Wife. The author of "The Autobiog raphy of a Business Man" in the February Everybody's evidently writes from personal experience. I had gotten so that I kind of liked to consult my wife for two reasons," he says. K)ne, I had found in the past that she was pretty level headed. The other reason was, that if I consulted her and I had made a mistake, she could not tell me afterward I told you so.' Most women folks have far better busi ness judgment than they are given credit for, and the majority of men, in my estimation, would be better off if they would , consult their wives. Their bump of cautious ness is very large, and that is what most men need."
