Mr. JN. uienn Williams, in his open letter to the legislature, begging them, not to destroy his business, made the statement that he had never touched drop of whiskey in his life nor allowed any of his employees to drink. Coming from a distiller this temperance argu ment gains tremendous force. Mr. Williams needs a clear bead tcr run a business like that which has had 137 years to grow, and his men need steady hands. They make an article to be fuddle brains,and tangle legs, but their own must be unclouded and reliable. We have heard that the railroads and big business houses are becoming our best temperance societies, but this is the first time we have had a liquor manufacturer to discredit and condemn his own business. We think more of Mr. Williams because of the frankness of his letter, but he made the best speech of all for the Ward bill," witnout intending to do it. We hope Mr. Wil liams, who is evidently a man of sense, will follow out his own logic and be glad in his heart the Legislature has forbidden him to inflict upon others the evil he so carefully shunned him self. No man ought to be a better judge" of the devilment there is in whis key than the man who makes it, and we gladly accept Mr. Williams' testi mony that he even refused a little for his stomach's sake, and his often in firmities. Lst the paid attorney and played out politician prate as much as they please about the necessity of hav- ng a little liquor about the house, here is a man who has lived forty years with never a drop going down bis throat, and he in the business of making and selling it at thatl Southern Alleged to Have Loat $50,000 mt Charlotte. The Southern Bailway has lost thou sands of dollars recently on account of cars being broken open and robbed of merchandise in transit while the trains were yet in Charlotte. Last Wednesday night, the police of that city succeeded in locating and ar resting two negroes who are thought to be the leaders of the gang of thieves. In the possession of one of these ne groes, Jonn Harris, was 43 quart bot tles of corn whiskey. Ernest Crawford, the other negro under arrest, had nu merous articles concealed in his home that had been taken from cars passing through Charlotte. It is conservatively estimated that the Southern has lost fifty thousand dollars by car thieves within the city limits of Charlotte since the first of last December. 3,000,000 Deatna by Plague.

What promises to be a general re form wave has struck the country and in many states it is almost equal to a moral revolution. Grafters, boodlers, rascals and demagogues are taking to the woods, and it is a self -evident pro position that when sentiment is arous ed and the good people become awak ened that the gang is out of business, whether they are out of the peniten tiary or not. President Roosevelt heads the proces sion and with his big stick in hand he is calling for a fair deal nothing less, nothing more and a fair deal will put many a trust and combine out of busi ness also. I find in my travels that Roosevelt and Rooseveltism are growing in popu lar fawr every day. The people believe in him and believe in what he believes in. I notice in a reply to a congratu latory telegram sent to Mr. Roosevelt from the Baptist pastors of Philadel phia this week, he answered back as follows : God giving me grace and strength, I will tio the right as He gives me grace to see it.'? '. - ' Martin Luther never gave forth a more courageous utterance or manifest ed a braver spirit. Just as Mr. Roosevelt is leading a national reform we.' find states, one after another are falling into line. Wis consin with Governor LaFollette, Mis souri with her peerless young Governor Joseph W. Folk, Indiana, whose gov ernor, the other day talked to a friend who was urging the interest of an ap plicant for an appointive office. He spoke of his friend's work for the party, his liberalty in campaigns and his local influence. The governor heard him through and said: "I should like to appoint your friend. I have no doubt of the merits of his services to the party or his ability to do the work if he did his best. But I have noticed that rail roads and other large interests of recent years have ruled against men who drink. This is a good policy, I think, and so long as I am governor of In diana, I shall pursue the same policy." That has the right ring and puts him in line of a great moral reform worthy of imitation. The present session of the Indiana legislature enacted some of the most stringent anti-liquor laws and also the most stringent anfi cigarette laws ever passed by ary legislature in the union, and some other laws in the interest of morals and deoency. Governor Joseph W. Folk is at the helm of reform, and doing a mighty work. Grafters and boodlers stand no more show in Mis souri today man a cat aoes at a aog show. Illinois grand Juries and prosecuting attorneys are after the bribe takers in the Illinois legislature. Colorado in on the war path also. Kansas is after the Standard Oil Company, and Texas is standing by the president in his fight on all lines. The nation has its Roosevelt, Mis souri has its Folk, Indiana its Hoch, and Georgia had her Little Billy. Peace to his ashes. . I welcome the reform movement in all the states. God knows things are bad enough, and been bad long enough. But I am candid when I say I have but little faith in a widespread reform movement in. Georgia, for we have as backboneless a man for governor as ever went down the pike. We have a senate-elect that will, in my judgment, block any and all re. form legislation proposed by the lower house. The rascals in Georgia know that they need not bother with the lower house, or about who is governor; Ull they want is a good working major ity in the senate. There are too many of Frank Potts' "kind of folks" in the senate. If we hsd a governor like Joseph W. Folk then those "our kind of folks" would be as Jobless and lone some during the session of the Georgia legislature a a negro politician is at a white primary. The anti jug law and the Australian ballot law wouU certainly be given to tha people of Georgia if it were not for the "our kind of folks." I have told the people for a long time that it was not a negro in the wood pile, but it was F. Potts in the wood pile. We shall watch the Georgia senate and talk out in meeting when "our kind of folks" how up. The coming man in Georgia is the peerless patriot, who holds principle above psrty, manhood above money, character above cash, and patriotism above place. If you can trot him out he will win with hands down. The clean, splendid man, Governor Bam ford, won without a fight in Oklahoma. Folk beat Boodle and Bums, Politicians and Polecats a full length under the poll. LaFollette, of Wisconsin, beat a combination which like four acres in a poker game, is unbeatable. Boose velt, the brave, brawny Rough Rider, went in with a majority teat took the breath of the opposition and pulled his enemies into the current of his victory. Who is the man of destiny for Georgia at the epoch-making period? I can't name him, but if anybody can, I pledge a labor and a loyalty to him that I've never given to a candidate in all my Rfe. We have a year to hunt for him, and if we have one we can by diligent search find him. I know the good people of Georgia at e sick and tired of "our sort of folks" running the state, and we want a chaDge, and in tend to have it. I want to be on hand more closely this session of the legisla ture coming, so I can see clearly who is "our sort of folks" and who ain't. I received a large registered envelope last week by mail. When I opened it I found a kindly and urgent request signed by the members of senate and lower house of the the legislature of Missouri, (a rolUof names two feet long on foolscap), that I address the legisla ture of Missouri in the capital build ing. I will be glad to do so if I can get around there before they adjourn. It will give me pleasure to say a few things in commendation of all the pro posed good laws and how essential it is that the three great powers, the ex ecutive, legislature and judicial com bine and co-operate in all movements that tend to elevate the citizens and put down the rascals. I would enjoy the privilege of saying a few things to our Georgia legislature if "our sort of folks" don't object. I am touring Ohio and Pennsylvania this week and will be next week filling engagements in Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado. Yours truly, Sam P. Jokes. P.

Russia Hopes to Win Through Foe's Poverty. In spite of the signal defeat of the Russian arms at Mukden there is no disposition to talk of peace. The Rus sian Government stands committed to the war, and the people have not yet found the voice bestowed on them by the Czar's rescript. It is learned on the best authority thaf Japan has twice approached Bus sia through informal channels on the subject of peace negotiations, but in each case the proposal failed because Japan demanded an indemnity and a pledge from Russia not to keep war ships in the Pacific for twenty-five years. The Japanese insistence on an in demnity convinced the Russian Govern ment that Japan's pecuniary resources were exhausted and that by continuing the war only a few months longer Rus sia would be able to compel Japan to accept better terms. Comprehensive Glance. Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson were passen gers on an elevated train. It whizzed by a house that was bril liantly lighted. "I wonder what was going on there ?" ejaculated Mr. Ferguson. . "It was a wedding," replied his wife "Didn't you see them standing before the preacher ? He was in a white gown. The groom was in full evening suit. The bride wore a robe of chiffon cloth, with bertha and yoke of duchesse lace on the bodice and lace flounce on the skirt. She had a full length tulle veil and carried a bouquet of lilies of the valley. Where were your eyes ?" Mr. Ferguson, realizing his utter worthlessness, resumed the reading of his paper and said nothing. Bather Insinuating. Reggy Pickle Shave closah, bah- bah."

Glenn declares that he is in the fight to a finish for the industrial development of North Caro- j Una, and that despite all obstacles he will bend every energy to the accom plishment of this purpose. Talking yesterday of his position in the matter he said that while disap pointed that the General Assembly haoVnot provided for an immigration bureau he is not discouraged but will endeavor to put other factors into op eration in order to achieve his purpose. He says that it is his purpose to meet With the Board of Agriculture and seek the co-operation of that body in his effort to induce to come to this State a high order of immigrants, not the riff-raff of the world, but small farm ers, tenants, laborers, men who will do things" in the State. "If the Board will work with me I believe that we can accomplish great good for the State," exclaimed the Governor. "And here is another thing I want to do, he continued, "and that is to break up the vagrancy in the State. I will at once ask the judges of the State to charge the grand juries and the sheriffs at their various courts upon the splendid vagrant law that we nave. I want to see it so enforced that able bodied men, now idlers, who are living on the work of their chil dren and wives be forced to engage in some useful occupation and be made to become bread winners." Governor Glenn, in referring again to his industrial views, lets it be plainly understood that he is determined not to let his industrial policy flag, but that he will use every exertion in his power to push it forward. In this work for the betterment of North Car olina he desires it to be understood that he asks the aid of all the people, and that as time affords he will urge this upon them.
