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.

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.'

Sixth street, Wilmington, N. C, says:
"I used Doan's Kidney "Pills and they
proved to be a grand medicine, and
I can only say that Doan's Liniment
is the frest remedy of the kind on the
face of the earth. I suffered with my
back for a long time. When I sat at
my desk for a while and attemptel to
get np I would have to catch bold of
a chair for support and straighten my
self p gradually. The kidney secre
tions were dark colored and full of
sediment. 1 read about Doan's Kid
ney Pills in our papers and went to R.
R. Bellamy's drug store and got a box.
Since using them my back is strong
and I eon move about and stand up
straight aa ever and the kidney se
cretions have all cleared up. Yon may
use my name as an endorser of the
claims made for Doaa's Kidney Pills
and also Doan's Ointment which I
used with good results."
