By the time all of the acts of the last Legislature are known and enforced immigrants will be in far greater de- mand than they seem to be at present. Some lawyer rakes up a new -and search- ing law every day, but the latest find that has come to The Observer oversteps anything heard of before. Here is the discovery in question: "Chapter 754 of the laws of 1905. section 1. That it shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or any dog or bitch known to be dan gerous, to run at large." If that law is rigidly enforced there is no telling where many supposed good citizens of Charlotte and other places will land. For instanoe, if a man who is known to bite when in a rough and all records," said a well informed rail tumble fizht. with one of his neighbors. road mQ to n Observer reporter a he is liable to be set upon and arrested. He is known to be dangerous. Again, if a citizen indulges in goug- ing; to illustrate, if it is his custom to stick his thumbs or fingers in his neighbor's eye, when in a fight with him. then he is liable. It could be Baid that he is known to be dangerous. ' If any firm has a kicking mule it can be put out of business, for it is known to be dangerous, and all Irishmen come undtir the ban. The law reads like the Chatham county farmer's trespass notice, which gave the following warning: p "If any man's ox, or cow, or steer, gits into thes oats, he is liable to have his or her tail tfit off as the case may be." The cattle keep far from that field. They knew when to dodge, for pride and conceit are not attributes of the lower animal. Pride and conceit get man in trouble. There is not a man in North Carolina who will admit that he is dangerous. The wildest lunatic at the State Hospitals would not consider himself dangerous. The recorder does not believe what the people say about his being dangerous. No one is dan- raroup. to hear him tell it. But the law does not allow the man to pass on his own condition. Several vears aeo a certain young man of Charlotte went on such a ter- rific spree and remained drunk so long that his friends were alarmed about him. After a conference his associates decided to have him arrested and locked in a cell give him the iron cure. The young fellow was imprisoned at the city station. After he had been there an hour or more and had time to sober a little and reflect, a very dear friend called to console and sympathize with him. The two old chums peered at each other through the bars, the sober man was in the passageway and the sot in a cell. The man on the out side looked his friend, the prisoner over and thinking of nothing else to say declared: "Old fellow, you look worse than I ever saw you. I do not think that I ever saw a tougher-look- iDg citizen." "Do you know (hie)," said the pris oner, "that (hie) I was just (hie) think ing that about (hie) you. 1 think you had better (hie) Bee a doctor. You ook terrible; you look (hie) like the devil." There were two opinions from differ ent points of view. This new law, whose author is not given, is lar-reacning. most any per son may bs caught in its sweep. Be fore the next legislature meets some of the legislators may have to take their own midicine. The view-point is the important question here. "You are dangerous," said the of ficer. "It's not bo; you arr,' answered the citizen. "Come on! Come with me!" It is all over with the dangerous chap. A Trouble to Himself.

Vanderbilt University students who have invaded Kansas to earn pin money at binding wheat emit this harvest yell: "Wahoo! Hullabaloo! 7-11-62! Show us the wheat! the wheat!! MuBcleand meat! T'ell with the heat!" The farmers in Kansas are having a hard Btruggle with their big wheat crop but it is hoped that with the aid of the students from various colleges, they may be able to settle the problem. The following advertisement in a Kansas paper shows that the farmers are wil ling to do the square thing by the hands "Wanted Some farm hands.
