Who pays the freight for thfe extra session of the Legistaturt It is given out that the railroads will cough up $17,500 of the cash.— Watauga Democrat. The Republicans of South Caro Una are said to be greatly reliev ed now that President Roosevelt has made up his mind about whom they prefer for the pre? - dential nomination. It has been frequently stated the title of AMould's divorc ed husband, bor.i De Ca£- tellane, is not genuine. In event most people will readily agree that he is no count. Hereafter every man who trav els a hundred miles on the rail road will be saved a dollar by Democratic legislation, and even if the proposed compromise is adopted he will owe Democratic legislature seventy-five cents. The name of Mr. Hogg has been suggested as a possible member of Congress. If he car persuade all the members of hi? family to support him he will >.c doubt be elected by a large, if not a "handsome," majority. In 1896 the bolting Democrats hailed John R. Walsh, the Chi cago banker who opposed Bryan, as a very valuable acquisition to the cause of sound money. Since he has been convicted on fifty four counts, of swindling the bank, the chances are about 16 to 1 that he wont vote against Bryan in 1908. And now it will be in order for the opponents of the Democratic party to say they are 4 'in favor of prohibition but it should be sub mitted to a vote of the people.". Certainly. They are the same prohibitionists who opposed the Wattß law, the Ward law and every step in the cause. Cheif of Police Goforth, of Newton, went to Statesville Fri day to have the bullet, which came so near costing him his life, located at the Long sanitorium b.v the Xray machine. It was found to be lodged in the mussles of the back. It 13 net likely to cause any trouble, and so he has decid ed not to have it cut out. —Ex. palpitation of the heart. Digests what you eat. We certainly hope that the ex tra session of the legislature wiP pass a State prohibition law. Gov. Glenn has intimated to a Raleigh press correspondent that he will refer to prohibition in hit message, but what action he will recommend he 'would not say. It is only a question of time un til the State would "go dry" un der the present local option sys tem. If the legislature woulc pass a general prohibition law, it would save the coming campaig? much of its bitterness and the "wet" towns ths cost of specie! election to vote the barrooms out. Here is hoping that the specia 1 session will make a two and one half cent passage rate and purr water the standard drink in th eld North State. oastohia. . Bwuittt Bought THE KATE Lx\W AS AN ISSUE. It is ytry Evident from what District Attorney Holton and state chairman Adams say that the Republican party plans to make the rate law an issue in the next campaign, When the bill reducing fares, to two and a quarter cent was before the legislature, the Re publican members voted to leave the passenger fares at their ex iting and exhorbitant figures. Now they are urged by Adams and Holton to oppose the com promise, The reasons (?) urges igainst it are a shining example >f peanut politics. After th R»r>ubiiean members fought a induction of the rate to two and i quarter cents per mile, they are advised to oppose the compromise •vhich proposes an increase to .wo and a half cents per mile. If they were against a law that towered the rate, it seems thai chev ought to favor a law that raises the rate. But Adams an : lolton say that an increase o two and a half cents will not help the railroad. This the rate railroads them selves have agreed to accept. r>u. > 1.1; • hearing v -.« t-iev tes chat a two *nd a nah law would have beei acceptable. Adams and Holtoi: think that the railroads ought to be given more than they ask. They seem to know more abeuv the needs of the railroads thar the railroads know of theii needs. This worthy pair also say tha* compromise as proposed wi ,; discriminate against the poo; man because the railroads can sell two thousand mile ticket - tor forty dollars or at the rate of cwo cents per mile, while tlv jiuinary passenger buys a tiukt. at tne i-itLe of two and a halt cents. But under the old law which the Republican members wanted to keep in force, the ordinary pas senger paid three and a quarter cents a mile, while thousand mile tickets were sold for $25.00 or at a rate of two and a half cents per mile, just the same rate at which 2000 mile tickets will be sold-trnder the compromise law. Under the old law for which the Republicans voted the differ ence between the straight ticket and the long distance ticket was three and a fourth of a cent per mile, while under the proposed compromise it will be onlv a cent per mile, a difference of one fourth of a cent in favor of the compromise. Then if a difference of une-hsli" c cent between the straight, afK 1 cue iO)'j4 distance, ticket is a dis crimination against the poor man, why was not a difference )f three-fourth of a cent whic! the Republicans voted to con cinue, a greater discriminatio; against the poor man? Another point (?) made by Adams & Co. is that unjust freight rati should be remedied and pa senger rates left undisturbc- Why should an unjust passengo rate be allowed to stand becaus the railroads also maintain ai unjust freight rate? Is it better that one evil should be corrected than that both shouK o unremedied? Why not remedy both? Adam: & Co. use strange reasoning Since they say so much abou freight rates, how much did the Republicans reduce freight rates when they were in power from 1895 to 1899 and Holton was state chairman? Not one penny. How many convictions were obtained for illegal discrimination in freight rates during the same period when Adams was Super ior Court Judge? Not one. All ■.his talK about letting rates alone and regulating freight charges by state laws is a device and a trick of the rail roads. The freight business of our people is largely interstate and no state law can affect it. This the railroads know: They , do not fear a state law regulat ing freight charges They real- » I lze tiiat the legislature can con trol passenger votes in the state. We must look to congress and the Intersta e commerce commis sion for the bulls of abuses in freight rates, The truth is Adams & Co., proceed on the principle of Opposing whatever the Democrats do, whether good or bad. Their so called "issue" is worthless and goes to show that the Republican party in this state is in desperate straits for something to secure public favor. Sixteen Quarts in one grip sack.
