PENITENTIARY TEN YEARS.
A Woman that Is Known By Nome of
Onr People Convicted of Larceny
and Anion.
It will be remembered that some
time ago The Standard hud an ao
count of Mrs. Mary Traylor, the
divorced wife of Mr. C A Traylor,
formerly of Salisbury, had been con.
fined in jil on the charge of steal,
ing some things out of the house in
which she was staying and also of
burning the dwelling. The Atlanta
Journal s iji that she has been tried
and convicted of ooth charges, and
goes to the penitentiary for ten
years. Mrs. Traylor wai from Ala
bama and was a member of a highly
respected family. She attributes
her downfall to alcoholism.
ttnlwltlln- nr. Dlngley.
Sume of the members of tbe ways
and means committee are laughing
heartily over a clever scheme which
has been put into operation in Bos
ton to evade the duties of tbe new
Dingley tariff. It seems that ;uat
before the law was passed a syndi
cate of Boston gentlemen purchased
mineral spring near Toronto, in
tending to ship water into this
country under the low tariff of the
then prevailing law. Mr. Dingley,
however, placed a duty of 24 cents
gallon upon all imported water, in
order, probably, to nourish the in
fant indutstry of springs in the
United States and the Boston men
were nonpLesed. The tariff was
practically prohibitory, and tbe
mineral water investment seemed
doomed. In their dilemma they
went to an attorney and asked bim
if he could get them out of the fix
"Perhaps so," replied tbe lawyer,
after a few moments thought.
"Would it hurt to free your mineral
water ?"
The members of the eyndicatt
wondered what was coming, but
tbey replied that they did not know
'Well," said the attornoy, "go and
freeze some of the water, and then
let me know whether its medical
properties are injured."
The water was frozen and the re.
port was made that there was no ap
parent change. "Ther," laid the
shrewd lawer, "yon need not trouble
Simply freeze the water in Canada
and import ft into this country.
There is no duty on ice."
It was a fact. Mr. Dingley had
retained ice on the free list, and the
Canadian mineral water now con es
aoross tbe border in solid chunks. It
pays less freight, and it does not re
quire casks that are worth $4 apiece,
the syndicate sayes 24 cents on
every gallon, and the lawyer is going
to Europe on his fee. Washington

Lamont, and it is most natural that
publio feeling should be wrought to
a frenzy to avenge her purity and
ber life. Those believing Duratn
guilty could have little piti nee
with those who tried to shield him
from the penalty, while thoite be
lieving him innocent could do no
less than use every effort to protect
him against a false charge. Pro

per bushel, while the price paid was
$1 to $1 25 per bushel. The cost of
transportation on merchandise, Pe
tersburg to Oxford, was $1 to $1.25
per hundred pounds. Tbe saving
from the cost of marketing at that
time when compared with the pres
ent, as well as the saving on the
cost of merchandise returned, it will
readiiy be seen, is distributed be
tween the producer and the con
surner to one of which classes we
all belong. The Messengr clores
with the following terje remark:
"If yon cannot be a good citizen,
do not be an iconoclast. If you are
not able to be a nation builder, do
not conspire with others to be
nation destroyer. If you cannot
help develop and make glsd your
own State, do not be a too. in the
hands of i .inspirators and bad men
to create a "waste howling wilder
uess" and to make It a lajd of sor
row and despair. If you cannot rise
to tbe sublime height of lofty, self
sacrificing patriotism, never play tbe
part of ' dog in the ma. ger" and
help to injure and destroy. Rtil
roads are not public enemies, but
publio blessings, when honestly,
wisely managed. Instead of seeking
to cripp'e aad tppress nilroadv, a
wise government will be their patron
and friend, and will seek to ketp
tbem remunerative while they are
blessing humanity and serving the
people."
The time has brsn when the
blessing of railroads were.resognizsd
more than at precen', (before we had
them) but it would Seem that
leaction had set in and now there
may be beard about as much ci-n.
sure of them as commendation.
If candidly considered we are com'
pelled to recognize that our pro
gresjiveness is due to their influence.
This being generally admitted, it
moat bo ''the dog in the manger"
spirit, incited by tht impression that
tbey are getting rich, tbat prevents
their still being recognized as what
was claimed for them before we had
them.
Ojt neighboring county bad, no
doubt, been teaching to: a genera'
tion the blessing that a railroad
would bring and now that they have
it and there is no question that
it hai been of inestimable value to
them we behold them repudiating
the whole thing.
Uraniing even that they made a
bad bargain, the fact 8111 remiins
that they have the road with all its
attendant benefits for which the
should pay something. If they
think they have paid to) dearly for
it thty still haye honestly made an
agnement which eqiily demands
ought to be fulfilled. Tht agree
ment was honestly entered in o and
kept in good faith until it was die -
coyerel that by means of a slight
technicality it could be set aside.
It would seem that tbe least op-
pwtunity for repudi -n w. tuktn
advantage rf. There are more loot-
boles in law than in right and .a
limb of the State, kuowicg this,
ought rather to join hands with tbe
right tban with the law.
By.rep'idistion the county gets the
benefit of therailroal by pa. ngnotb
ing in return, other than the freights
and fares, and more than this, the
bio w does not land where it was
aimed but falls on the heads of in-
ooc nt purchasers of North Caro
lina ( ir Stanly county) bonds, who
lad faith in the integrity of ber
people, Not only this but the gojd
oarue of the State IB soiled and, in a
lesser degree, tbe South as well.

not brought forth a railroad thus to
undo you.
