Caldwell, editor of The Observer, walk into his office and take his seat In his accustomed place. He la a little hit weak yet in the legs, but the fact that he walked from his home to the office, a distance of a full half a mile, -is evidence that his weakest spot Is not so weak, after all. His head is as clear and his mind as strong as ever. He is, of course, attending to no business, his time be ing taken up in receiving the con gratulations of his business associates and of the many friends, who, hearing that he was at his desk again, press ed in to pass the time 'o day with him. Mr. Caldwell's friends will be glad to know that his recovery has every indication of being complete and permanent, and that his facile pencil will soon again be in evidence. VIRGINIA'S WISDOM. The Anti-Saloon League of Virginia is advocating what the. prohibition forces of North Carolina would not advocate local option. Viery good reasons for it are given by Rev. James Cannon, leader of the anti-saloon forces in Virginia. He is quoted in The Baltimore Sun as saying that the Legislature might pass a prohibition bill, but it will not be so stable as prohibition in each community. He believes, however, that the time will come when the State will go dry through local option. He thinks that if each community votes to put the traffic down, and will thus-make pro hibition State-wide, it will In time hold against any assault from the whiskey advocates, and that Legislatures can not touch such prohibition. Un doubtedly local option prohibition is the kind that will hold. In the end we expect to see the Virginia prohibi tionists better satisfied than will be the North Carolina prohibitionists. A CITIZEN WORTH WHILE. It is noted in our Stale news depart ment that the government' Is distrib uting over a, thousand bushels of corn among the farmers of Bladen and'Pen der counties who lost their all in the. graat flood last August. This Teiief enables them to cast their crops this spring.. They -have been destitute in the midst of a land of plenty and this aid has been secured for them through the persistent efforts of Mr. B. F. Keith, the collector of customs at Wd, mington, a Republican, but a mighty good man for all that. In addition, 1 Mr. Keith, aided by Congressman God win has interested the government to the extent of building a levee along the Cape Fear in BladSh, ' which "will protect the farmers of this section from a repetition of the severe losses they Jvave sustained by overflows. In the meantime, Keith is pegging away for a new custom house for Wilming ton and it looks as if he is going to get it. Any man who pulls money out of the government and brings It South for needed Improvements, is a citizen worth, while. AS TO HOLIDAYS. Copying The Chronicle's editorial on "Too Many Holidays," The Greens boro Record says: "We find an. ar ticle in The Charlotte Chronicle about too many legal holidays, with which we partly agree. It sounds pretty well and has a lot of truth in it as well as sound advice, yet we cannot quite endorse it in full, for there are exceptions and changes made neces sary by our more -or less strenuous life." And it adds: "No doubt we are overdoing the thing in some re spects, but we want to ask, the esteem ed Chronicle ,what it expects would become of the banks " and the city schools if they could not have a -holiday at least once a month? When the schools adopt a holiday it is not many moons until it is made a le gal holiday; this lets the , 'banks in the game." Of course, the facetious ness of The Record's contention is ap parent. The banks have too many ''holidays for the good of the business community, and the cause-of education would be better conserved were there fewer holidays In the schools. The holiday item is an important one where short terms are a standing . complaint. After all, we believe The Record can make mighty few excep tions to The Chronicle's views on the holidav Question. The f!hrlAl-t hanV, ' . . ? . exhibited good business sense in look ing at the new State holiday, April 12, Jn a business, rather than a sentiment al light. The Carolina, Clinchfleld & Ohio : .- road is getting its hand in. It has an nounced a rate of 75 cents a ton on coal from Clinchfleld to Johnson City. This. we. believe is 15 cents cheaper than the rftes that had been prevail ing. A ' correspondingly "downward revision" of the tariff on coal to Char lotte will mean much to the manufac turers and. private consumers of this Sr. The prospects ; for cheaper coal Charlotte may ; be said to be rea dably fair. ; , ThVi Carolina, ' Clinchfleld & Ohio f road rifts been charging something -over thrtee cents a mile passenger fare, but announces that' It will reduce the irate to thitee cents.;' That may do in Tennessee, Vut when the C, C. & O. begins to coVlect fares across the line In North Carolina, jt must behave it self. Two-arid-a-half will be the best t cn do. , COTTON. Following up our "remarks yesterday on the recuperation of cotton, we have It from The New Orleans Picayune, a paper located in the centre of cotton information, that although Texas has. recently had much needed rain and the weather elsewhere has been more I - ' ' v . . - . T favorable to farming operations, mere is a general belief that the crop of cotton has experienced a ; late start, and as a result there will be smaller deliveries of newxiotton , late in the summer than was the case last year. On the other hand, the stocks of old cotton at the ports and in the interior are rapidly diminishing, and promise soon to drop behind last year at cor responding dates, so that the outlook for supplies for the balance of the pres ent season is not as promising as it was some time back. While the pros pect of supplies is proving more mod erate than expected, Is almost convinc ing there are many indications that trade is steadily Improving. Recently China has bought largely from Amer ican mills, and Manchester reports a good demand from India as well as China. Reports from the mills indi cate that supplies in spinners' hands have been much overestimated. Such being the conditions, The Picayune argues "it is not surprising that the price of cotton has steadily ad vanced of late until spots are now practically at the 10 cent mark. An other favorable indication is the re vival of speculative interest. Opera tors in stocks, grain, meats and other matters, where prices have ruled lilgh for a long time are now turning their attention to cotton, believing that it is the cheapest commodity on the mar ket at the present, level of prices." Present conditions point , to better prices not only for the remnant of the old crop, but for the crop that is to come on the iftarket next fall. The cotton farmers never had better cause to anticipate better prices, but this should not lead them to go in for "all cotton In their farm preparations. ELIMINATION. President Taft has been conducting a very interesting process of elimination in the case of the aspirants for the place on the Federal bench of the east ern district of this State. First, ac cording to The Statesville Landmark, he has repeatedly asserted that he will not appoint a former Populist or one who is tainted with Populism. This is a little .hard on Col. Harry Skinner and other gentlemen who went to the Republican party via the Populist route. It Is furthermore said that the President will not consider in con nection with the . appointment any one who aided and abetted in the at tempt to impeach Judges Furches and Douglass. This' Will eliminate Judge W..R.. Allen, one of the Democrats prominently ; mentioned in connection with the appointment (whether "he is in any way responsible for the men tion of his name in this connection we don't, know) and probably other Dem ocrats who ..are, active candidates or Who have hopes, "it" is a pity," con cludes The Landmark, "the Presidont does not put in the exclusion list any lawyer who Is in any way Identified with the trusts. This would eliminate Mr. Fuller, of Durham, who seems to be the favorite of the predatory in terests." ' But to come down to. the rock bottom fact. President Taft should rake the State over with a fine tooth comb in the effort to And a Re publican capable of "wearing the er mine," as they say. Only after failing in that, should he' turn to Democratic possibilities. The scramble for this judgeship shows how many Democrats there are willing to change politics for an office, for that, in effect, Is what taking a Republican appointment means. ' "Charlotte," says The Wilmington Star, "should not despair be cause of the defeat of the proposed hew charter." 'If we understand aright, the charter provided for a municipal government somewhat on the order of that Of Houston ani .AMiK:,r.."r" V M Mil1' the other cities which are trying the com wt mission plan taking the city govern ment out of politics. In the popular election the Charlotte people voted down their proposed charter, but those who advocated it should not give up hope. It takes a long cam paign of education to get the people up to the idea of a city government from which the political boss .and the ward heeler la eliminated." Char lotte had tried for the Houston plan, but failed to get it, though some peo ple thought it had got an improve ment on it, only to lose out in the end. But it is as The Star intimates the day is coming for the elimination of the political boss and ward heeler. There is going to-be a new charter by and by that will put them out of bus iness. . ' . v.- - The New York preachers who have been trying to get a bill passed pro viding for open, saloons In New York city on Sunday, are now supported In their contention by District Attorney. Jerome. This rather extraordinary proposition is based on the contention that it is impossible to enforce the closing ordinance in New York. The law is not enforced because the offi cials do not want to enforce it. Fit ... up a recorder's court in New York city and put Mr. Frank Shannonhouse In charge of it and in the course of a month the saloons in that town. Will be hermetically sealed on Sunday. , v The burning of the Kanilworh Inn, last night, must have ; furnished, a groat pyrotechnical display 'for4 the mountain section. A large towering pile . of wood with shingled 'roof and sides, it was located .on one - of the highest points about" Asheville and the blaze must have been visible over a mighty territory?7 The Kenilworth was one of the first of the tourist hotels built in that section and n its day had been a very popular house, "" Mrs. W, R. Sloan.' the mother of the local reporter for The Stateevllle Mai- cof,7;c6htrnmtes teresting' story, illustrating' the endu rance of a hog ; that -had been acci dentally shut up in an Isolated house filled" witti straw and there lived,for 77 days and nights, or'- two: moaths and a half, before discovered and res cued. It had to be fed with & spoon. but was finally brought back to health and strength. This . occurred when Mrs. Sloan was quite a young girl. The story was sent to The Jredell Express, of w-hieh Mr. Drake was owner, and he ' charged '$2.49 for , publishing it. That illustrates the dlfferencebetween the newspapers of that day aijd the present; time. Mra Sloan's story would be eagerly accepted at any newspaper office now and paid for "at column rates." The idea of making people pay to get news in the. paper will strike the - newspaper men of to-day as rather odd, and it is evident that Mr. Drake had a pretty stiff schedule of charges, too. ; :c The last days of Madame' Janau schek were spent in poverty, and bodily infirmity. All, her magnificent ward robes and all her diamonds and jewel ry passed from. her long before her death and nothing remained to Tier but the recollection of her fame and that is a -poor thing to live on. Mad ame Modjeska, who died last week In. California, fared better, dying amidst the comforts and luxuries that could be provided by an estate valued at $120,000. That much had been left of "her earnings of nearly a million dollars, the greater part of which had been given away. An interesting piece of State news carried to-day Is that the Cleveland Springs property has been sold. This means that the hotel destroyed by fire a couple of years ago, is to be rebuilt and if the new owners have an eye to a successful business, they will make it a "bustering" big hotel, modern in all Its appointments. The white sul phur water at Cleveland is the finest in the United States, but the springs have always had the disadvantage of poor hotel accommodations. The proper sort of hotel, there will make It one of the most famous resorts in the country. ' . SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. The Smallpox Situation at York Cot ton Mill. Yorkvilie Enquirer. . There are now only four cases of smallpox out at the York Cotton Mill, two of them convalescent, one serious and the other in a critical condition. The last case to develop in this quar ter, was that of Mr. John Thompson, whose son was among the first vic tims, and his case and that of Mr. W. W. Williams are the two that are re garded y. as serious. Mr. Williams Is not expected to live, and Mr. Thomp son is regarded as facing a serious or deal. Peter McFadden, colored, whose case has been previously mentioned, and who was thought to be getting along fairly well last Friday morning, died in the afternoon. The doctors say the cause of his death was pneu monia, which, of course, waa superin duced by the smallpox. The health authorities had considerable difficulty in getting McFadden burled; but fin ally succeeded at a cost of nearly J 50. Jefferson Pettus, the one armed Confederate Veteran at the county home, whose' case has been previously mentioned, died Saturday night and was buried on Sunday. The doctors say positively that Pettus did not have smallpox; but that his death was due to apoplexy. The old fellow had got ten caught In the same house with Hi ram Alexander before Alexander's case had been identified as smallpox, and he had to be kept in the same house with Alexander, until after the latter died when, as stated, he was moved to the newly provided, pest house. He had been vaccinated in the meantime, and his vaccination was doing all that was to have been expected of it He was considered to be out of all danger from smallpox, and the apoplexy, to which he has been subject for quite a while, develqped suddenly and car ried him off. There are now no cases of small pox within the town of Yorkvilie. that of Peter McFadden. orirtntin- stated from the case of Tririvtr ti,t ivuiy oiw up io tnis time The local board of health ia , ing about thfrty negroes In detention for violation of the quarantine laws.

The proposed bank of Sharon re ferred to recently will certainly mate rialize shortly. Up to this time $21, t)00 of the $25,000 desired has been subscribed, and the remaining $4,000 is within easy reach. If it is not sub scribed by citizens of the neighbor- nooa immediately surrounding, citi zens of Sharon stand ready to take it. Cotton is Still King. Gaffney Ledger. . Judging from the amount of fertiliz ers which are being hauled out from Gaffney this season the farmers of the county must be preparing to plant ev erything in cotton. The dealers say that their- sales this season are larger than they were at this time last year, and some of our farmers say that the season has been so favorable for farm work that their work is much further advanced than is usual at this season of the year, which will likely have the effect, as they say of a much larger area bing planted in cotton. . .

As a result of the recent visit oi Mr. B. F. Keith and Lieut. R. S. McKen nie, U. S. A., to the flood district along the Cane Fear river In 'the Canetuck and French's Creek township sections of Bladen and Pender counties, more than a thousand bushels, of seed and feed, corn; has been! sent tcKflood suf- rerers in those regfns out or an ap propriation of $1,000 lately secured by Congressman Chas. R. ThOmaS. Be tween 700 and 80fl bushels were sent to the sections named and about 275 bushels up the Northeast river to the Holly Shelter territory where crops were destroyed in the earlier freshet. Diectly after the flood; Lieut. MeKen nie, reporting to the War Department, gave the opinion that the people would reel the worst of their loss when planting the coming crop came on and the recent visit fully Justified this opinion, the corn being shipped soon after his return with Mr. Keith. Prior to the shipment of the seed corn, other seed was furnished to those in need out of what was left over of the fund raised by citizens in Wilmington di rectly after the freshets. The aid given by the government has been a Godsend to the people in the sections named. Drunk, Bleeding to Death and in the Hands of Faith Curists. Gasfonia Gazette, i. An operative named Y. D. Williams, living at the Ozark Mills, cut his right wrist so severely Saturday afternoon that only prompt action on the part of physicians saved him from bleed ing to death. The aecident occurred in a honsn at tha TrnVr Mill anA ac cording to reports,. was directly due to Intoxication. Williams, while drunk thrUBt his hand heavily through a window glass and severed an artery and the tendons of his right wrist. Dr. C. E. Adams was called and brought the man to the City Hospi tal, where his wound was dressed, af ter Which he was taken to his home. It is rumored, whether true or not the reporter was unable to learn, that prior to the arlval of the physicians some of the "faith cue" sect, of which there are several around the Loray, were making efforts to stop the flow of blood by their "faith cure" methods. When found the man was In a poo! of blood and was so crazed from drink that it was . necessary to ad minister chloroform by sheer force. At last reports he was getting along all right. f - , Solicitor Hard Hit. Salisbury Post. Mr.. F. M. Thompson, who was In High Point last week, says that while in conversation with Solicitor Ham mer the latter stated to him that so far as official fees are concerned the Rowan county court practically ruins him in Rowan. Solicitor Hammer does not exager-. ate the effect of this new court upon his docket, for Judge Miller has with in the week since the court opened disposed of a number of cases which would under the old plan have gone to Superior CoUrt. r The establishment . of. so many re corder's and trial justices' courts in this State is certain to weigh in favor of putting the solicitors on a salary basis when the Legislature of 1911 considers the matter.

The experiment; of pumping oh through a rifled pipe has proven a success in California where the trial has been triod on a line 282. miles long from Bakerfleld to Porta ' Costa on the San Francisco Bay. The oil of this section is so heavy that it - cannot be piped practically through the tubes which are ordinarily n-ade use of - for this purpose, but the movement of the oil is greatly facilitated by forcing a certain amount of water ;m the pipe . with it. On the Interior of the pipe are. cut corrugations about one eight inch deep,- these spiral curves making a complete circuit every ' ten feet. Thus the water pumped in with the oil goes to the outside of the interiop of the pipe and following the rifling fcrms a thin sheen about the oil.- The two move along together, the oil form ing a central core that does not come into direct contact with the pipe. Belay pumping stations are eetabllshed ever twenty-three miles. This line cost four and a half million dollars and the daily movememt of oil Is between 17,000 and 20,000 barrels. .
