THE MONROE JOURNAL G. M. BEASLEY. ( Tuesday. May 23. I9US. Ladiea of the Baptist church have begun work to Have electric ugnia placed in the church. To help raise funda for this purpose they have leaded th merry-go-round for Mon- H 15th fnim 5 Ui 1 1 o'cliak D. m.. and' it will be run then under their nuiu-nvnL Thetr want a Uree patronage that day. Greenville Re flector. The Biblical Recorder recently told of the building of a new church house without the use of ice cream suppers or any of the other lines of endeavor that are so ofk'n used, and the article was so noteworthy that it went the rounds of the press. The Recorder will in future have to in clude flying jennies in its list of things that were foregone. J. B. Piver and S. J. Wall were tried in Wilson couuty the Madison county of the east last week for the murder of one Jones and were ac quitted. Statesville landmark. Representatives in the legislature from Wilson bitterly fight any re strictive whisker legislation on the ground that if bar rooms were gone labor would be hard to get. They said in 1903 that the villages and the cross roads stores w ere bound to sell liquor because the negroes would go somewhere else to trade on Satur day evening if they didu't "Speech is silver but silence is golden" words to that effect, ain't there? Well, ex-Sheriff Cleveland has found out theirtruth.no doubt, since his article condemning women's clubs came out The sisters have said a good deal about the old man, but alwut the meanest thing was gotten off by one who said that the women's clubs found it necessary to do a good many things in practical philan thropy, among them being that of taking care of the families of men who spent most of their time in fish ing. . Those towns that are mak ing efforts to establish graded schools should find encouragement from the record of the Monroe schools for the year just closed. Here we have two schools. the white one with ten teachers, the colored with two.and a general auper intendent for both. The enrollment was 405 in the white school and 135 in the colored, yet the entire expenses of all kinds was but 1 .02 per capita per month. Of course, as the enroll ment increases the per capita cost will decrease. Monroe has a good many things to be proud of, but none of which she thinks more or from which more good is being de rived than her graded school. Qrubb Escaped the Law But Ene mies Are on His Trail. CharlottKMwrvrr. The waylaying and shooting, yes terday morning, of 11. t lay urubb, who was last week acquitted in Rowan SiqH'rior Court of the charge of murdering Obe Davis, his brother- in-law, at 1 iney church, Davidson county, last year, has the appearance of a vendetta. The slain man and the slayer each had strong friends and strong enemies and each was evidently afraid of the other, as well they might have been. They lived in a community of lawless, desperate men, and the killing of Davis, fol lowed by the acquittal of Crubb, is not calculated to promote peace of mind or give any greater assurance of the safety of life in Boone town ship. It is in that township that several blockade distilleries are re ported to be running, and it is said that the reason they are not destroyed is that the county othcers and the revenue officers alike are afraid to go into that neighborhood on that er rand. What relation, if any, the moonshine business and the neigh borhood feuds bear to each other we are not in position to say, but it is very certain that the making and drinking of moonshine liquor are not calculated to promote a spirit of obedience to law or point to the paths of peace. The recent transactions at Piney church and in Rowan court are quite sure to deepen the venietta feeling. This is already proven by the event of yesterday morning, which was manifestly the result of a conspiracy. His enemies will get (irubb yet, perhaps in the next at tempt, and his friends may then be expected to take reprisals, if they do not begin before he is killed. The situation at this time appears to be as well developed a feud as even Kentucky ever witnessed. E. 8. Mason, a prominent busi ness man of Yoakum, Texas, was shot and killed Tuesday by M. A. and P. A. Newman, brothers. They surrendered. Some days ago a sis ter of the Newmans died and a prominent physician was arrested and bound to court in a bond of 15,000 in her case. The brothers of the dead girl who lived at other point io Texas visited Yoakum, looked into the matter and killed Mason. It is presumed ol course that they believed him guilty of se ducing their sinter. The residence in Charlotte occu pied by Walter R. Henry, owned by W. C. Maxwell, was partially destroyed by fire early Monday morning. Loss on bnilding esti mated at (2,000, covered by insur ance.' Insurance on personal prop erty was 000 and the losa exceeds thia.

From all over the State comes the news that the revenue othcers are utterly unreliabk in the suppression of illicit distilleries; in many cases it is believed that they are really in collusion with them. But on this noint the Statesville Landmark says The Lexington Dispatch says it is informed that two or three illicit distilleries are in operation in Boone township, Davidson county, and the Dispatch believe that the revenue othcers know of these violations, but do nothing. If this is so the revenue othcers ought to be ashamed, but what u the sheriff ol Davidson coun ty doing? I'nder an act of the last legislature the sheriff of a county is required to proceed against illicit distilleries when one is reported to him, and he is subject to a penalty if he fails in this duty. Surely the sheriff of Davidson knows something of the situation in Boone township Everybody knows that the revenue officers as a rule want the State laws against liquor to be a failure, and yet to these omcers is left practically the whole duty of enforcing the law With the notable exception of Sheriff Summers in Iredell, we haven t heard of a sheriff in the State doing in this direction what the law plainly re- Quires him to da In view of these facts it is not only inconsistent but somewhat tiresome to be constantly complaining at revenue otlicers for not doing what our own officials are charged with doing, but Have not done. The liquor laws of North Caro lina will never be properly enforced until public sentiment forces local officials to do their whole duty." The Charlotte Observer gives this op the same point: "We have no idea why ii is is and hence cannot explain it; but Uike leave to suggest that while revenue otlicers are in Lexington almost every week, it is likely that Davidson county officers, charged with the ex ecution of the State laws, are in Ix-x- ington almost every day; and if the facts about these illicit distilleries are as stated, they are no more to be acquitted of dereliction of duty than the revenue officers are to be convict ed of it The operation of illicit dis tilleries is as much a violation of the Watts law as it is of any Federal statute. If county officers do not know this they should get down the acts of the legislature of l'J03 and read about amongst the laws for a spell. Kverv one of these abomi nable little moonshine distilleries should be destroyed wherever found, and it is a duty equally incumbent upon Slate and Federal officers to hnd and destroy them, lo exculpate one set by silence and to rail out against the other when both aw equally guilty of failure to discharge a plain duty, is partisanship gone U seed." Arson and flurder at Raleigh. At 3 o'clock Saturday morning the plant of the Standard Oil Company at Raleigh, including tanks and ware house, was destroyed by tire. Rob bers killed Night Watchman Strict land, robbed the safe, getting only a small amount, and then tired the plant. Nearly 40,000 gallons of oil and five mules were destroyed. The I'ost says: "Such a conflagration Raleigh has seldom seen. The live tanks of oil, some of them holding 8,000 gallons exploded with the heavy report of a mullled cannon; 115 barrels of lubri cating oil was also afire, and the dense smoke, wreathed with llame. mounted high into the heavens. Small sparks were scattered blocks away, but fortunately there was s little woodwork that this danger was minimized. "Every discovery made by the in vestigators yesterday simply added to the horror of the crime which was enacted in this city Saturday morn ing. Kvery doubt as to a murder and robbery having been committed was speedily removed. "For eight hours the firemen and others conducted a diligent search in the ruins of the warehouse, which was destroyed about 3 o'clock yester day morning, before they discovered the body of the ill-fated watchman. "Mr. Strickland died at his post of duty. While moving the carcass of the four mules in the burned stable, on the rear south side of the ware house, Mr. J. W. Bundy, a brother-in-law of the deceased, found a man's leg. Then lifting the body of the animal, concealed beneath it was the horrible figure of what was once a human being. The trunk could scarcely be called part of a human being. Rescuer Went Down With Man He Wss Trying to Save. Burlington Hurrtal.fl.t. toCharlullrOtjii.rv.r Parties coming in on the 5:45 train from Raleigh this afternoon bring the news of an incident in which one man, Mr. E. Lacy Hughes of Cedar Grove, was drowned in a dar ing effort to save the life of another, Mr. Karl S. Faucette, who also lost bis life. Mr. Faucette and Miss Eloise Brown, a teacher of music at Cedar Grove Academy, were boat-riding on the pond at Efland's Mill near Efland, Orange county, while Mr. Hughes was standing on the bank of the pond. The boat capsized and the occupants were thrown into the water. Mr. Hughes plunged into the water and brought Miss Brown ashore and returned to assist Mr. Faucette, when Faucette and Hughes were both drowned. Little can be learned at this time about Mr. Faucette, but Mr. Hughes was a young man of about 27 years of age, a son of Dr. Hughes of Cedar Grove, and was well known and hichlv res Dec ted here. Etiand is a small village on the Southern Railway, 3 milea west of Hillsboro and about 12 miles west of Durham. Mr. Faucette was a prosperous young merchant of Orange county, and very prominently connected. lie was unmarried. Tna Mexican Liver and Kidney Cure never mila to help yon.

Mr. J. M. Taylor, convicted at Greensboro court of violating the internal revenue law, has written a letter from the Went worth jail, in hah he give some good advice, coupled w ith high praise of Mr. Cas per. He says: "But it is my advice to the whis key people in North Carolina to get out of the business now. You don't know what hour these crank-minded prohibitionist are going to Lave you in here to slay with these dirty, filthy rogue, who are always prowl ing the country and stealing where they can, and you must be lodged right up with them and stay fn-m good wife and children at home and nearly lose all that you have on ac count of a few individual. Mr. Taylor feels very much ag grieved because be has been put in jail with other law-breaker. In the eye of the law. a law-breaker is a law-breaker. The man who violates the law must exjwt to pay the n alty. Of course tliere are grades in crime, but no criminal is doing more to corrupt society than tht who violate the internal revenue law sand the temperance laws of the S:a'.e Too long they have been treated as if they were persecuted. The time has come when they must under stand that if tliey violate the L they will have to suffer the penalties. Not many years ago a man we will call him Jones killed another in eastern North Carolina. His law yers managed to get him off with im prisonment for twenty year. Some months after his brother called to see the lawyer, and said: "1 have had a letter from my broth er who you got into the pcuitciitiary by appearing for him." "Have you?" answered the lawyer, ignoring the compliment to his abil ity to laud his clients in the peniten tiary. "Yes," said the man, "and he does not like it at all." "Is that so?" asked the bored law yer. "Yes." continued the brother; "do you know they make him associate with fellows who were sent there for stealing." "Is that so?" again queried the lawyer. "So you think it a shame thai a man guilty of murder should be forced to associate with thieves?" But the advice sent from jail t whiskey men "to get out of the busi ness now," is the best advice that ever issued from a jail in North Caro lina. It is advice that most of them would do well to take. It is an oen sir ret that most of them violate the law and the hour has struck in North Carolina when those who violate the law to debauch the youth of the State cannot do so with impunity. The judge who punishes them with im prisonment is the only judge who is doing his duty, and the time has come when public sentiment w ill not tolerate the past indifference to these violations of the law.

Chicago Trouble Likely to Oct Worse. i lltrh. ilt Sunday brought no changes in the attitude of either side in the lalmr controversy now in progress in Chi cago, and even thing tonight oiiiU toward an extension of the teamsters' strike during the (Mining week. Of tiifrs of the seven express companies, whose refusal to reinstate any of their former employes caused the collapse of the sell lenient of the trouble last night, still adhere to their determination not to give em ployment to any of their former em ployes, and the other firms involved in the dill.culty dirlared that they would stand by the express com panies in the tight. The Teamsters' I nion has taken just as firm a stand as the employers, and it was said by President Shea tonight that the union would not call off tlie strike until the express companies came to terms. The lirst spread of the strike is expected to come tomorrow morning, when the l.iiiiiliernicu' Asstviation. an organization employing 2.10(1 teamsters, issues an order to their men to make deliveries to all busi ness houses regardless of whether the' are involved in the strike. In anticipation of such an order, the U-ainsUrs met this afternoon and voted to go on strike should any teamster he discharged for refusal to obey the order of the Lumbermen's Association. Willi non-union drivers making deliveries for the lumtrrmcii, the strike will undoubtedly spread to affiliated industries, as the union men employed oil buildings will re fuse to handle material delivered by non-union labor. Should this lum hcrmcn's strike be called tomorrow and there is nothing tonight that would indicate how it cau lie averted --there seems to be nothing that can prevent a general upheaval through out Chicago.
