EFFECTS OP PROHIBITION On account of the falling off in ternal revenue receipts in Georgia and South Carolina through the enforce ment of prohibition, H. A. Rucker, the negro collector for the district of Geor gia, will lose his job after January 1st. Those two states will be united in one district with keadquarUrs in Columbia, and Major Micah. Jenkins, now col lector of the South Carolina district, as collector of the new one. Major Jen kins is a close personal friend of the president. He commanded one of the battalions in Mr. Roosevelt's regiment of Rough Riders during the Spanish war. We suppose those Georgians who opposed the prohibition enactment by the last legislature will' rejoice at this one result to follow the establish ment of prohibition" In the state. : ; It is also said that at im early day the states of Alabama and Mississippi will be formed into one district be cause of the falling off of revenue re ceipts. J t This would indicate that prohibition cuts down the sale of liquor. - In this state prohibition ' is making rapid strides. There are only thirty four counties in the state now in which liquor is legally sold in saloon or dis pensary and it has been voted out of the towns iii five of these," to take ef fect January 1st. The Charlotte Chronicle, referring to the recent elections in Wadesboro and Ashevllle, says "the prohibitionists are picking their flints for a try at Win ston, Salisbury and Wilmington. Of the three towns mentioned Wilmington is considered to be the hardest propo sition". .The Chronicle says that "left to a vote of the people Wilmington, as is the way with seaport towns, would always remain wet and there are other localities in the east that would stick to the saloon" Because of these facts The Chronicle predicts that the next legislature will make the whole .state dry without a rote of the people "and -thus settle the business", It says thi3 is as sure to come as the next legis lature meets. We are inclined to believe The Chronicle is guessing pretty accurately, especially should the towns referred to hold local' option elections in the meantime and the prohibitionists be defeated. THE LAW'S DELAY . The lawyer referred to by The Robc sonian in the following extract we take from that paper, knew what he was talking about when he made his criti cism on the manner often followed by attorneys in the examination of wit nesses. It does seem sometimes that it is the object of the examining law--yer to prevent the witness from tend ing what he knows instead of trying to get from him all his knowledge about the matter. The Robesonian says: - ; "There must be something . wrong .with' our method of Itrying cases," re marked a lawyer who had been at tending Robeson superior court the other day. ''There's a man who is! suing a railroad company for dam ages. If I take this man aside and sit down on a log with him and give him a chew of tobacco, he'll tell me in fif . teen minutes all there is to tell about how he got hi3 leg broken and how he was injured in that accident; but .-in this trial they ihave had him on the stand two whole days!' And there you are ... 'The law's delay." "Yes, sir, I Was etanding so, and so and, so and so ktippeneij and my leg was broken and was. injured ;thus and so," merely a iThatter; of ten minutes conversation ,0r so, and yet when i comes to sta't Jng Ithe case to a jury, it takes ty-6 days to tell it! It would bem that a ;W is not expected to .unfold a plain ; nn varnished tale on tihe witneai tand. riAfter many centuries cf duplicity dip- .orcats nave waked to ta realization- of .-tries fxtbt thft.thfi. rwvllrw i J . -- " j-"ivj . lu uii 1 t aDsoiuteiy airect and candid, and may u', -he yet, JJi-some'v future golden age, when a roan Is placed upon the wit ness stapd to tell how a tWng .happen ed, ne will Tje allowed to tell if eimp-' ly, directly and speedily. 2daybe so. THE LAW NO RESPECTER OP T . PERSONS , v ..There is a law in Massachusetts, passed by the legislature only a year or so ago, which prohibits the so liciting of positions with public ser vice corporations by state officials. It seems the Massachusetts , peo ple are not going tq let this law be a dead letter. The grand Jury; in Boston has .indicted several 'officials for its violation, among them being two state senators, two members of the lower house of the . legislature and several city aldermen. That is the. way, to do-it. MLetthe people, high and low, rich an4 poor,' know . tiat when they violate the criminal, law of .tWl' 8ate tey will be prosecuted. There Is fi6 7. other way tQ make the law- be respected byg all classes.. Jf the lower classes the law violated with impunity by those standing over them in the order of society they lose their re spect for the, law and for the men whose duty it is to see that the laws are enforced and the guilty punish ed, and the members of any class of society hold in contempt that law which they find they can utterly dis regard. Besides, it is but right and just thar the eame iaw should bef meted out to all classes. , A law prop erly enforced recognizes no class in society, and the official whose duty it is to enforce the law violates his oath of office if he allows class dis tinctions weigh with him in the per formance of the duties of -his of fice. THE TROUBLE AT THE BUNG We published a statement from the. Charlotte : Chronicle a few days ago that the Charlotte Trousers Com pany, with headquarters in that city would move to New York. No rea son then was assigned. On the sub ject a latter issue of The Chronicle contained the following editorial un der the heading "The Trouble at the Bung:" - The Chronicle has it on. pretty good authority that the removal of the Charlotte Trouser Company .to New Tork 13 due in a great measure- to dis crimination against '.this town tn freight rates. This company sells its product over . a large southern terri tory, (but the claim is male that it cam ship from New York to Atlanta, for instance, to better advantage Jthtan It can ship from Charlotte o Aitlanta and other southern points. This discrimi nation may not have been the Impell ing motive f orthe more of the com pany from Chaflottev but thai it wa largely a contributing factor, there Is no doubt. This Incident Is sufficient tm show the seriousness of the situation . The state's lawyers are . making a. great fuss oyer the matter of (passen ger fares, a master of no gretajt conse quence .to the public, while the far more important matter of frelghi ratea Is beings Ignored and the manu facturing and commercial Interests of the state are. being, permitted to lan guish. When will thin matter be taken up? That Is one thins the people like to know. V, If The Chronicle is correct in the reason it gives for its removal it' is surely time that something is being done to stop such discrimination against North Carolina cities in the matter of freight charges. This freight question should have been taken up by the corporation commis sion before that of passenger fares in which the people are much less interested. Will somebody tell us why Mr. Hearst is going to establish local in dependence leagues all over the country if he is not going to use them for his own benefit politically. Is -he work ing simply to prevent Mr. Bryan secur ing the nomination? He is taking a heap of trouble and spending a lot of money for that to be his only ob ject. . ' , The Durham Herald thinks the "'other, subsidized papers" had better own up and get out of it before they are caught with the goods". iNorietiT going to be "caught with the goods'' that a certain clique does not want caught. : . There is one farmer in Anson county who is not bothered by the scarcity of labor. : When; his cotton is' ready for picking he takes his family in the field' and his work is soon done. Not long ago this farm er's five children, ranging in age from nine to seventeen years, picked a bale in a single day. That is the way to do It. Mr. Bryan will make a pretty good swing around the circle in this state He spoke in' Charlotte yesterday. He win oe at Fayetteville today, at Greensboro tomorrow and in Raleigh on Thursday. He seems to like to come to North Carolina; as he should for he has a great many admirers in this state.'
