LOCAL SELF-GOVtRNMENT. Captain Swift Galloway, of Greene, can always be depended upon to liven up any debate in which he takes a hand. In the debate on the bill to allow Scot land Neck to vote on the ques tion of dispensary or prohibition he submitted the following- Ire marks: 1 "The people have inheritent rights and the denial of them is resented. "Now you propose to deny the people of historic, glorious old Halifax, the right to be heard through their legal representa tives, to express themselves upon a local question. There is an era of fanactism upon this country, that came here along with the epizootic, the grippe and hog cholera. It came here from the Puritans who landed at Plymouth Rock, who first got on their knees an$ then on the aborigi nees. I sometimes feel like wishing that instead of their landing on . Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock had landed on them. They tell me that in some i . sections of the State you have laws which make a man a crim inal if a certain amount of liquor is found in his home and that an upstart policeman has a right to break into that sacred home, to find out if he can find it. I do riot hesitate tpsay that if I lived in a community of free men who would submit to such tyranny, I should want to get an occasional furlong and get relief from out raged feelings by briet visits to hell. An ant knows when to quit crawling, a flea' when to quit hopping, but some enthusi astic fanatics never know when If they do; not stop somewhere' 4we; .will soon have, to passing laws tb: protect them from tnemselves, for this will be a despotism pure and- simple un less we return to the grand old doctrine of local self-government." A Nugget of Wisdom. ' 'There is more profit in a cow than a bale of cotton," is the as- sertion W. D. friends court. of county commissioner Ruffin made to several here while attending "Beef cattle per head," he went on to explain, "could be raised till ready for market for less than it cost to make the cot ton, with not one-half the attend ant annoyance and difficulty of gathering." Mr. Ruffin says that he has now 60 cows which he intends to increase to 100, and that with them and their increase he can make abundant feed on the land that would be required to make 100 bales of cotton and will de rive annually a greater profit than he could from the cotton. The demand for food products in this county is steadily growing, and there is not one chance in ten of an over-stocked food mar ket there is for a cotton one. If more farmers raised cattle Ion a larger scale the scarcity of f . . labor would not exist in Hidge combe;besides it would attract more white immigration in a de cade than cotton cultivation. Tarboro Southerner. Happy Hill School. There was a very large attend ance at the Happy Hill school last Saturday. Prof. James Leonard was the. teacher. The exercises were of a high order and showed the teacher had done splendid work. The exercises were the very best. Zeb V. Walser, Esq., delivered the ad dress. The day was beautiful. A Visitor. THE RALEIGH DISPENSARY. The Durham Herald emo cratic) thinks it is strange that dur ing the whole session of the legislature there was no Jegis .. . 1. il nil1.! lation in regard to r-ne jrvaieign dispensary, and it adds that, "in this day of moral reform by the aid of law, it is curious to mote how easy it is to make a - bad thing god in one place wheyeas it is hell in another." It it strange at all. when you sto consider the crowd that bave made the laws. If a dispensary can be used to political advan tage, then they think it a good thing. Where the dispensary managers or saloon managers are not in harmony with the j ma chine, then that dispensary, or saloon, is a "hell, hole" and should be closed. The local Democratic politicians do not ob ject to the Raleigh dispensary. In fact they rather like it, it helps to pay them good salaries and act as a recruiting station for their par' y. And, instead of the legislature enacting any laws against the dispensary, many of .1 -a - . . - 11 '. them helped to greatly swell its receipts while they were in Ral eigh. It is all wrong for Wades boro, Marion and many other towns to sell whiskey in any shape or form. But in Raltigh the politicians want it that makes it right. Exchange. Democratic Self-GoYemment. The Durham Herald says the Democrats are strong advocates of local self-government where they happen to be ir the major ity. Yes, they have tried to de stroy local self-government in Stokes, Surry, Wkei&Sai! publican county iri the State. They have taken Surry county, one of the largest Republican counties -in the State, and have placed in the Fifth so as to make the Eighth district surely Demo cratic in the future. The legis lature was sent here to enact laws for the gcod of the State, but instead they have enacted partisan laws to punish Republi can counties and to give Demo cratic office-seekers jobs in those counties, and these Democrats did not have any more self-respect than to acce the jobs to which they could not be elected by the people who knew them. Caucasian. The Man Who Sneers. The sneer is an arrested bite. It is a mark of the savage. The man who sneers is that much less of a gentleman. The sneerer would bite if he was not afraid to do so. He is a coward. The sneerer is a savage whether he sneers in print or not. If he writes down his sneers he has not removed himself from the ranks of savagery. He yet re mains one of the worst savages, however his English be polished and his style sparkling. The sneer turns into a bite whenever the savage who indulges in it ac quires courage. While he is a coward it remains an arrested bite. Exchange. A Great Contest. Our readers are requested to watch out for the announcement of a great voting contest. We will give notice in a few weeks. No coupons in this contest. The prizes will be the best ever of fered. Watch out for the notice. According to our way of look ing at it the dirtiest work of the legislature was in saddling a Democratic beard of county com missioners on Sampson, a Re publican county. Durham Herald. WORK IS SUSPENDED. 5 Mi." inston-Salem, March 15. Wq&C on the Southbound Rail- been suspended, not abandoned, as has been reported. Innhteryiew this , morning witfr Mr. H. E. Fries, president pi ihi? company, it was learned that; the chief engineer's office in this" city will be maintained. Mr. 3PVies expressed the opinion that (the ' suspension of the work Wiild pnly; be temporary. This action, it is held, is the result of adverse railway legislation in North Carolina and xther South ern States, which has seriously affected Southern railroad stocks', making it more difficult-to get financiers to put their money in new goods. The large amount of money already expended on the Southbound, however, leads those who are interested to be lieve that the road swill be built as soon as decent railroad legis lation can be analyzed and the money market becomes more elastic. NOTICE! The North State will within a a few weeks inaugurate another contest. The prizes will be at tractive. Our friends are re quested to watch out for it. The terms will be stated later on. Tell your friends about it. Hole in the Watch Key. "The queerest patent?" said the attorney. "Well, the queer est patent I know of was the patent of a hole. "An old farmer out St. Louis ja patented hole, and-wbatia SE SoWthotigh, it isn't worth the paper it is written on. 'This farmer one morning in the dim past went to wind his big silver turnip and found the key stuck full of dirt. He tried to dig the dirt out with a pin. No go. " 'Consarn ye,' he said, Til fix ye.' "And he drilled a hole in the key, and with a single breath blew out every bit of the dirt. "He patented that hole. He built a factory, bought millions of keys and made holes for them. His patent turned out 27,500 holes a day. "In fact all the world used the farmer's watch keys, which were the only kind that would keep clean and the old fellow got rich. "That, of course, was in the dim past The hole factory is only running on half time now, for few persons today use any save the stem-winding or keyless watch." New and Observer in a Trust. When the anti-trust bill was being discussed a few days ago in the House, Mr. Grant, Repub lican, from Davie, offered an amendment to include the As sociated Press, but the House voted it down. They were afraid of the editor of the News and Observer. Mr. Grant showed that the News and Observer had contaact with the Associated Press that it should not furnish news service-to any other morn ing Tpaper within fifty miles of Raleigh. Mr. Grant told the House that the Morning Post had to suspend business on ac count of this trust and proved conclusively that the Observer was in a trust, but the Demo crats of the House, though great trust busters, voted down Mr. Grant's amendment, do not look alike to Caucasian. . All trusts Democrats. GOOD ROADS. We are for good roads. We don't care whether they are built by taxation or bonds; Anything' suits us. We all want them f want them quick and bad. We simply want an "opportunity vote for them. We don't care whether they are all over the county or iust a part of it. If the county won't vote f or g( roads, let each township have an opportunity to do so. The .pres ent roads are simply an abom nation and a disgrace. Decent and civilized people ought not to stand it. Let us have better roads. We are at least one thousand years behind the times. These roads ought to be built by contract. All railroads are built by contract. The money nec essary to build good roads in this county will hardly be acceptable to the people. If the people will arouse themselvee, get down to business, and go to thinking and talking something will be done. Shall we eternally pull through the present rivers of red mud? The Solicitor of this district ought to indict every man who drives his horse or male not over but through and under the present mud canals. The punishment in flicted on the beasts of burden in this county because of the pres ent ocean of mud is nothing short of cruel and heartless punish ment. We saw a horse the other day that had pulled a vehicle through the mud until it was en tirely exhausted. Let. us quit talking about our Christianity until we are willing to provide decent highways along which we may drive our mules and horses.: It is simplyva-f raudo.patf ;ad long as we remain ' m the state Of Barbain fit for the South Sea Islands. These are plai-i words. Once in a while it-becomes nec essarry to call a spade a spado and a saw a saw. Let us be up or shut up. We want better roads and better schools. We cannot get the schools until we get the roads. Children can't wade two miles through the red mud to the school house. Let us hear less about the Glorious Fourth of July. It is all "bosh" and "rot." We will have faith in the people. Let us suund the trumpet, hoist the banner of progress and march to the front. It is high time. Now or never. Mr. J. W. Noel, one of the trustees of the Orphanage, and a very valuable and intelligent cit izen of the county, made before the committee on temperance, Wednesday of last week, a speech of great clearness and foJce acainst the establishment oi a dispensary in Lexington. To him, more than any other man in the county, we owe our gratitude for the unfavorable report by that committee on the bill grant ing an election on this question. The town of Lexington is fortu nate, indeed, in having so fine a citizen. Charity and Children. Henry Watterson says that the oddest and most humorous trans position of the type that ever came within his observation was in a New York paper which used to print its shipping news on the same page with the obituaries. One morning a long list of re spectable names were set forth under the marine head, "Passed Through Hell Gate Yesterday. ' ' Do you want to buy a beautiful lot cheap?

Charlotte People's tper.- . . ymi&xP There have been several fights at Raleigh during the legislature. In addition to the actual fights a lot of bluff games have rbeen pulled off, which were intended to show bravery where bravery doesn't exist If it's an hrmnr for legislators to engage 'in growls, bluffs, fisticuffs, 'theh weV submit that a crowd nf Thnwoo cats and bull dogs could beat the ' J 1 i i ii . . statesmen" an to pieces at that kind of a game, and it would be less expensive to the tax-payers to pull off the cat and dog,fights, without any pretention or daim to statesmanship.
