DRUG LAW STRICT.
Next Week Strict Law Goes into
Effect.
Uncle Sam is trying to assist In the
erusade to break up the drug dis
pensing habit. What is known as the
Harrison act, approved on December
17,1914, goes into effect the first
day of March. Under its nrovisiona
every physician drueeist. wholesale
and retail, dentist, veterinary surgeon
-all people handling or prescribing
drugs, are required to register with
the Collector of Internal Revenue for
the district in which they reside. A
heavy penalty is attached for viola
tion Of the law. Mr. R. L. Justice
of the Justice Drug Co., Greens
boro, tells us the requirements are
simple enough when once started,
but to get special stamps and all that
has been some little trouble. I
It is required by the act that every
person who produces, Imports, manu
factures, compounds, "deals in," dis
penses, sells, distributes or gives
away opium or coca leaves or anv
compound of. either., shall resister
his name or style place or. places of
business, and if he has no office,
then his residence. No physician
dentist or .veterinarian may have in
his possession or write a prescription
tor any opium or cocaine preparation
unless he has paid the tax of $1. Af
ter compliance with this formula he
will be required to use on every pre
scription for the drugs named, in
order to buy any of . them, the serial
number given him. He must make
out a duplicate: of every order or
prescription, and keep the duplicates
on file for at least two years.
The prescription must be written.
signed by the preserver's name in
full and be dated as of jthe day it is
signed, and must show the preserv
er's serial number and the location
of his office and ; the name and ad
dress of the patient for , whom it is
issued. The prescriptions must not
be refilled.'
Every person, firm or company dis
pensing directly to consumers any of
the drugs referred to must keep an
accurate inventory of all' such stock
as he has on hand, and must verify
the inventory by oath not later than
March 5. ".' . '.'
The act absolutely prohibits the
sale of laudanum, .codeine and pre
parations containing more than two
grains' of opium, one-fourth grain
of morphine, one-eighth , grain Oi
heroin or one grain of codeine to the
ounce, except upon the -prescription
of a doctor registered under the act.
or upon the revenue order blanks;
and these preparations may no longer
be sold,' by merchants and retail
dealers. Possession of any of these
drugs,, except in compliance with the
act, will be considered presumptive
evidence of a violation of the act.
The penalty for violation of any of
the requirements of the acts is a
fine of not more than $2,000 or im
prisonment for not more than five
years, or both, in the discretion of
the court. .

Clause No Good.
There is a clause on the back of
the. free pass and the editor's pass
which releases the railway from all
claim for damages if the party ac
cepting gets hurt. But . last week
Judge Pritchard ruled that that
didn't make any difference. If a pas
senger is hurt because of negligence
of the railway the railway must pay.
But if a fellow accepts a free pass he
should take all that goes with it, and
if it is a broken neck that ought to
end it. But those dependent on tht
victim for support claim they are not
parties to his contract. Funny thing
how the law is analysed. - In this
particular case the man hurt -had a
stockman's pass. He was riding free
to look after live stock, that he was
shipping. Perhaps in that' case it was
held that the freight on" the stock
also paid for the man s .transporta
tion.

' Think Of It.
Terrible to think about, hut the
Reynolds factory in Winston is
spending a whole lot of money In
making attractive rest rooms for its
white eirl emDloves. This is a fac
tory with more than two dollars and
a half capital, and we wonder what
the srjell binders will say. That , a
malefactor of great wealth had any
regard for the people he worked. It
is scandalous.

INCONSISTENT.
Mr. J. M. Hendrix Discovers Some
thing Wrong.
Mr, J. M. Hendrix reads a great
deal, and he reads understanding.
He is a democrat from away back
and perhaps will always be, but he
says he . doesn't understand . some
things. He doesn't see just why
Hoke Smith has found that Senator
Simmons has seven clerks and then
in the same paper reads that Claude
Kitchin In defending the present
tariff law says if it hadn't been for
the war the Simmons-Underwood
tariff bill would have brought twenty
millions, a year more revenues than
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law brought.
In other words according to Mr.
Kitchin's story, if things had remain
ed normal, as we all expected they
would remain, the democratic tariff
law would have taken from the peo
ple twenty million more dollars and
piled them up in the treasury than
the republican tariff law which was
denounced a Robber. Tariff.
Mr. Hendrix naturally wants to
know what they would have done
with that twenty million, and why
did the democratic party plan to rob
the people of twenty million more
than the republicans had been tak
ing. This is certainly a rather inter
esting' question. Here we were all
told that the democratic party was
going to reduce burdens, and yet
Claude Kitchin comes along and says
they really planned to take twenty
million more than we ever got before
and certainly twenty million more
than we needed unless it was to be
used to make pie for hungry office
seekers. No matter if it came from
income tax no matter where it was
to , come from, the question as Hen
drix puts it up is: Why increase
the burden and why take, needlessly,
twenty million more from the peo
ple than the republicans took, and
they, were accused of robbery.
That makes pretty good reading.
Mr. Hendrix says he is going to
write about it, and. we want to see
his story. ;
Hits The Big Farmer.
Commissioner Osborn has ruled
that the farmer, if he has an income
in excess of the figure prescribed for
other men, must come across with
his income tax just the same as oth
er men. The figures are low the
man receiving an income in excess of
three thousand dollars a year must
come across. And this is where
there will 'be music.
The income tax was a great pro
position. It was to bring down the
man with a million but that
wouldn't do. It was a scheme, prim
arily and originally, to punish a man
for being successful; to hit his pride
and bring him under the authority of
a" government minion. The politi
cian preached it although Jefferson
opposed it. -
But when the tariff and the war
and ' whatever other agency ' played
havoc with our surnlus and a greit
culfar in front of is. t heial -irc?I
changed, " and the;-.avf 4ge-,v wooing
man. almost got into tne raooic gum.
And still there is a deficit and
matbe- bonds must he issued. The
rich' man came , across hut the esti
mate wasn't realized. Just why a
man should pay, all manner of taxes to
city, state, county, nation and then
be hit for an additional revenue, only
because 'bungling business methods
put Uncle Sam on the blink, we do
not know. Nor does any one else.
When the farmer commences to
pay income tax and adhesive stamp
tax and all other kinds of tax you
are going to hear a unanimous de
mand for a hiking back to the good
old days of protection when every
body . had a hand out and it didn't
take special revenues to run the ma
chine.
A Bad Mix Up.
Jim Pool, a colored gentleman of
Wilson was asked by a friend of color
to secure him a marriage license. Jim
did it. But without delivering the
license to his friend Jim concluded
he would marry the girl himself,
which he proceeded to do. The
names weren't exactly right, but the
colored parson didn't mind that, and
then it turned out that Jim already
had a wife, and the parson is in trou
Die lor marrying a man witnout a
license. Great social events do hap
pen in Africa. '
Even In Montana.
- Montana, that far away section in
the wild and woolly west. Is going to
vote on prohibition. And finally when
prohibition is National, as it will
be, and Uncle Sam no longer gives
his attention to the revenues derived
from whiskey and beer, you will see
but little blind tiger business. The
moonshiner can't connect with a
blind tiger like a mall order house.
. o .
In Full Blast.
The Mount Airy quarries are again
In full blast working the usual
number of men. It can hardly be
claimed that the granite is going to
be used by the allies. Generally
speaking these days ' if a factory
starts they say it isn't for our peo
ple it is for the allies. But to ship
granite that far would hardly do.
Durham In It.
Durham will now be head over
heels in a fight for a new city char
ter. - There are those opposing and
those boosting, and of course it will
get very lively before Spring is real
ly here with her vernal, bloom.

Train Robbers In Washington.
. As they were' cremating "the body
of Frank James train robbers board
ed the Sea Board train going out of
Washington and threw off some
plunder at Alexandria. It turned out
that all they got was an empty keg,
but the crew lived a few rery excit
ing moments. ' Two men did the
stunt and the express messenger was
bound and gagged. He rode tnree
hours in that condition, but the rob-
oera made their escape. ;
AS IT SHOULD BE.
The Commission Form Of Govern
ment In Greensboro.
We are not at all agreed that the
Commission Form of Government, as
we have it in Greensboro, is the
thing, it is better, far better, than
the old way, and it is all we have.
It was suggested when we secured
the change that we ' were to take the
selection of city ofilcers out of poli
tics. That was the main reason for
the change. There was to be no sec
tional consideration; no factions; no
parties- it was to be for all the peo
ple, and politics was to be kept out.
And for that reason we have in
the charter the initiative, referendum
and recall. If any officer does not
do his duty he can be recalled if the
people will ask it. If the Commis
sioners do not pass a law wanted by
the people they can pass it over their
heads and put it on the books. If
they pass any law objectionable to
the majority that majority can take
it off the books. ,
' The Commissioners are in session
every day. Any part of the city can
send a delegation and that delega-
tioi. will be heard. Therefore if all
three of the Commissioners lived m
the middle of the town in one build
ing an the city, all sections would
be equally represented. There is no
playing of favorites.
So with all this machinery w? elect
ed three Commissioners, and if they
haven't made good they are still
there and no recall has been suggest
ed. They have passed no offensive
laws, because the people haven't vot
ed any that they have passed off the
boQks. They have passed all the
measures asked for as desired by a
majority, because with one exception
(municipal meat market) there
has. been no election.
These men have been paid a "sal
ary, iney nave Deen getting exper
ience, and we are of opinion that
they should be kept right where they
are. This as long as they make good.
and just now they are making good.
To have a city fight means waste
of energy. It means expense all un
necessary, and the same enthusiasm
given to building up the town; to
booming the town; to making the
town hum will be better. Mr. Phipps
of the South Side will, if elected,
make no better" Commissioner than
the man he wants to succeed. Then
why the change. : It looks to -us like
we should carry oat the intent and
the professions of the charter keep
the city election out of politics. We
opposed the Commission Form of
Government and we would oppose the
present plan again. We want alder
men and men employed by them. We
wanted to keep the offices out of the
election. But we didn't have it our
way and w& would like to see the
old town remain harmonious. There
is no need to stir up a fight. There
is every need, just now on the eve of
the boom that awaits us for us all
to pull together. And in this view we
believe two thirds of the voters will
concur. - : .

Sues The Southern Railway.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch
carries this news item:
... -
"Miss Estelle Shackleford institut
ed suit for $2,000 in the Husting
Court, Part II., yesterday against the
Southern Railway Company and the
Pullman Company;
"She alleges that she boarded a
train in Asheville, N. C, and was
traveling to Lexington, and that she
was directed to take a through train
that did not stop at Lexington, and
6he was carried by High Point, a dis
tance of eighteen miles. She was
forced to spend the night in High
Point, and did not reach her destin
ation until the next day. She alleges
that the company was in fault in
directing her to take a through train
that It knew did not stop at her
city." .
This is one case, if it happened as
printed, that the railway should he
made to pay. We are not generally
speaking strong on suing the com
pany. And we have an idea that if
the complaint is just the matter
could have been settled out of court.
A mistake of that kind need not
have happened.

Bryan Liked Meeting.,
Dr. Warren Booker, secretary of
the Social Service Conference of the
State, has received a letter from
Secretary William Jennings Bryan in
which he tells how he enjoyed his
recent visit to the conference and of
his constantly increasing interest In
North Carolina affairs The follow
ing is an extract from the letter:
"I enjoyed the Social Service meet
ing immensely. The prospect of my
being a summer resident of North
Carolina causes me to be more and
more interested. In the things that
make for the improvements of the
State and I am sure your organiza
tion will exert a large influence."

we know that excuses and apologies
will be forthcoming if necessary. But
when we fail to "keep off the grass"
these days we V liable to get into
trouble. "National honor" is liable
to bob up, and if It does we will be In

that things are on thin ice over there
we had better go without a few dollars-

cease. But dollars make us blind.
