of North Carolina upheld tbe act
aud then au appeal waa wade to
the Supreme Court of the I'nited
States. Ou the day lefore Christ
mas that great tribuual kauded
dowu au opiuiou upholding the
North Carolina act. That perma
nently ends the bucket shop evil in
North Caroliua. Tbe actiou of the
State in this matter ha not only
helped North Carolina folks, but
has as well helped other States, for
Georgia has passed and Alabama
will pass effective auti bucket shop
legislation. North t'arolina sets
the pace!
Of course there is no way of tell
ing how much money these eut ic
ing shops carried out of North Caro
lina every year. Now aud then by
the sort of gambling practiced a
mau would make money by gouie
turn of the wheel, and then the
whole country would hear of his
cood luck, aud hard workiug men
would lose their "gumption" aud
take a turu in the hoe that tbey
could make a fortune by gambling.
Of course they called it "specula
tiou" but the fact is it was a more
demoralizing form of gambling than
that which poses under no high
sounding name. Not many years
ago a proserou9 farmer of Wake,
who had dug a small sized fortune
out of the ground, was persuaded
to give the wheel a turn. It pnt
several kuudred dollars in his
pocket and was his ruin, for he lost
iu future operations all that he had
accumulated iu a lifetime of thrift
and economy. All over the South
there are meu who have been
ruined by this gambling which wa.
given respectability. Meu who
would have scorned to play cards
moved into the vortex of lietting
iu these bucket shops to see tlieii
fortunes swallowed up. Like Silas
Warner they put their money iu
"a hole iu the ground," and it nev
er came back. Hut worst of all,
the young men of small incomes iu
brokers and business men's ollices,
seeing their employers bet in these
shops, followed their bad example.
lieu one out of a hundred hit it
lucky, ninety out of every huudred
lost all they had, aud the balance
became einltezzlers or made ship
wrecks of life. If all tue money
lost in bucket shops iu the past
twenty years iu this species ol
gambling could lie returned tn
North Caroliua, it would surprisi
the people to see how many cotton
factories it would erect and equip
for we have lost many hundreds ol
thousands of dollars by our peo
ple'g attempting to get rich by bet

Very Fine land.

Land lien well, five-room tenant

well watered with as fine spring as
ever bubbled from the mountain

which pays lu rent yearly from fa

natural forest, about 100 acres of
second growth, which will average
at least 1 5 or 80 cords wood per
acre. '1 bis land Is very fertile and
early, black gravel with red clay
fonudation. It will easily produce
from twelve to fifteen hundred lbs.
seed cotton per acre. About 15
acres bottom land that will produce
from forty to fifty bushels corn per
acre. If it the most good land
and timber (both lumber and cord
wood timber) you want in a small
body, here it is. rartiea wishing,
can obtain public road right through
tbe place. One of as healthy loca
tions aa on the globe. Parties look
ing for an ideal all-round farm, for
health, fine water, money making,
near Monroe, (11 miles,) with the
most timber and most fertile land
in one small body, look at this.
It's neccmary for it to be seen to
be appreciated. This plantation is
aa cheap at ten thousand dollars aa
potatoes at thirty cents per bushel.
The timber alone on the land will
more than pay for the same and
when in cultivation three or four
years' rent will pay for the land
the second time. Finest cotton,
clover and small grain grit in the
county and easiest cultivated.

Bishop Smith Dies 5uddenly of
Heart Failure.
Bishop A. Coke Smith of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
died suddenly of heart failure at
Asheville last Thursday. He had
been at Asheville for some two
vehrs for treatuieut for tnberculo
sis, from which he was thought to
have beeu recovering, and had be
come able to preach frequently.
The reiuaius were buried at Nor
folk, Va. ltishop Smith presided
over the Western North Carolina
Conference when it held its scsnion
in Monroe a few years ago, and his
fine personality will be readily re
called by all who saw and heard
bim. The following sketch of his
life is taken from the Charlotte Ob
server:
'Bishop Smith was Ii7 years of
age, having lieen born in Sumter
county, 8. C, September Hi, l4!t.
He was a sou of Iiev. W. II. and
Isabella Smith, his mother before
marriage being a Mcleod. He was
graduated from Wofford College,
Spartanburg, S. C, in 1872, receiv
ing in 1874 the degree of A. M.
He became a doctor of divinity in
188., by act of Lrskine College,
Due West, 8. C. On December 22,
1875, he was wedded to Miss Kate
Kinard of Newberry, S. C. From
18StJ to 18!0 Dr. Smith occupied
the chair of mental and moral phil
osonhy in Wofford College, aud
was a professor of practical theol
ogy in Vanderbilt University from
18!)0 to 18!2. He resigned in the
latter year to return to the pastor
ate. In 18!)1 he was a delegate
to tbe Ecumenical Conference at
Washington, where he read a paper
on Christian co-operation. He was
a fraternal delegate to the general
conference of the Methodist church
of Canada, at Toronto, in Septem
ber, 1S!I8.
"It was at the general conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, held at Dallas, Tex., iu May
of 1!)02, that Dr. Smith attained
bis crowning distinction, being
elected bishop. This office he held
unto bis death.
"Bishop Smith waa an original
thinker and a forceful speaker. He
was well known throughout this
section. About four years ago he
waa for one year a resident of Char
lotte. He was, during bis career,
pastor at CLeraw, Charleston, Co
lumbia and other South Carolina
points. It was while pastor of Ep
worth church, Norfolk, Vs., in
1902. that he waa elected bishop.
Two years ago be removed to Ashe
ville for his health."

Children in Factories-.
Senator Tillman.
I Mieve with all my heart that
no child under fourteen years of
age should be permitted to work in
a factory or mill uuless it has had
sufficient schooling. The only ex
ceptiou I make of this is iu the
cases of children who have lost
both parents and are absolutely
depending on their own efforts for
support. If the choice lies between
letting the child work or commit
ting it to a charitable institution I
would take the first alternative
that is, of course, if the child was
physically strong and able to do
the work it was given.
But I Mieve that in no circum
stances should any child twelve
years old or under be allowed to
work iu a factory and become
stunted aud dwarfed iu mind aud
body. The State should provide for
the maintenance of children under
that age who have no parents or
legal guardians to support them,
aud 1 favor a drastic law that
would prevent parents from putting
children of that tender age iu fac
tories. I have not read Senator Hever
idge's bill carefully, but I under
stand that it provides that uo car
rier of interstate commerce shall
accept for transportation the pro
ducts of any factory or mine iu
which children under It years old
are employed. I dou't know wheth
er I would be iu favor of a propo-
sitioe like that or not. It seems
to me that the interstate commerce
act is In'ing worked too hard. If
we keep ou using it to right every
wrong that is alledged to exist we
shall soon wear it out.

la a Few Years the Uea Has
Gained Great headway and
Moat Roads OuUide of United
Slates Now Owned by Govern
ments. In "Soldiers of the Common
Good" in the January Everybody's.
Charles Edward Russell speaks of
government control outside of the
United Slate. He writes:
"IVrbaps we in this country give
insufficient heed to the immense
f irce of this trend (outside of our
on country) toward the communal
good. Take but the single item of
government railroad ownership. In
the beginning practically all rail
road enterprises were owned by
private capital. In PJOO there were
lti13 miles of government rail
roads in the world outside of the
United States. Since that year
Switzerland, Italy, and Japan have
taken over their privately owned
lines and the principle of govern
ment ownership has Uen extended
even where, so that in I'.HHi there
are 220,730 miles (outside of the
United States' owned by govern
ment and only 91.9 It! miles owned
by private companies. It seems
likely from preseut indications that
in a few more years there will haid
ly be a mile of privately owned rail
road in all Europe except ossibly
in Spain. The life of private own
ership in England will certainly be
short, and the nationalization of the
French nads is definitely settled.
"It is necessary to bear in mind
these facts in order to understand
the amazement and mirth with
which intelligent foreigners learn
of such legislative wonders of our
making as the railroad rate bill and
the meat inspection bill. To them
solemnly and elaborate fooling of
this kind seems to belong to the
childhood of the race."
No one can observe with other
eyes than those of a fish the trend
of progress and not percieve that
elsewhere than in the I'nited States
men are coming to the conclusion
that modern conditions and modern
industrial concentration have ren
dered useless the old theories of
government, anil that for the ills
modern conditions create, two things
must be done:
First, to substitute Hie interest of
the community for the interest of
the fortunate or powerful indi
vidual. Second, to restrain Greed, not by
regulating it, but by making im
possible some of its most obvious
and dangerous operations.

"If the Southern Cotton Associ
ation has done nothing else, it has
taught the farmers how to bold
their cotton," remarked a leading
merchant of the wharf to an Obser
ver reporter yesterday. "For the
past two weeks practically uo cot
ton at all has beeu brought into
Charlotte by those residing in the
couuty. A few croppers brought
iu several for Christmas, but none
of the well-to-do farmers have sold
a bale. The price is off aud they
wou't sell. If the Southern Cotton
Association had done nothing else
than this one thing, it would have
deserved the gratitude of the whole
country, loucan say that Char
lotte cotton merchants will resume
business when the price goes back
to the proper place."
