B1CKETI BILL UNANIMOUS.
General Assembly 5ys the State
Will Care for All Its lofortu

Ch.rMl. Mom. IMS.
The Hiikf tt bill, or, if you please,
the sultitut for it, is a law, the
Senate haviug passed it yesterday
with amendments hieh the House
readily accepted. The passage by
the General Assembly, by s uuani
nious vote in both houses, with few
remarks and no debate, of a bill
carrying an appropriation of a half
million dollars, is a most extraor
dinary occurrence and a crown of
glory for the body. It is the high
, est evidence it could aflord of its
right-niiudeduess and of the fact
that npou this point, at taut, it is
a truly representative body; for
upon the subject of care of the class
ofdarkeued intellect, at whatever
cost, the people are uuited. It is
no cause for wonder that the bill
did not quite suit Senator McLean
it nodoulit fell short of the views
of a good many members of the leg
islature; it does not suit the Ob
server, which feels sure that Sena
tor Blair and Kepreseutative Bick
ett, along with those in either
house who thought with them, are
right in believing that the way to
do this thing is to do it quickly by
au issue of bonds. However, the
end is to be attained, and those who
are fervent in their desire to see it
reached can well afford to swallow
their disappoiutuieut about the
road chosen to the end. It is
euough to know that North Caro
lina is to provide for all of her in
sane and all whose intellects are
defective, congenially or other
wise. It is to the everlasting glory
of the State, and no legislative act
in its history has done more to shed
lustre upon the name of North
Carolina than that completed yes
terday. For it the General Assem
bly of li07 will ever be remember
ed with gratitude.
When every member of the leg
islature was so sympathetic and so
gracious, aud when so many favor
able intluences weie engaged, it
seems wrong to designate individ
uals, and yet it ought to be said
that the chief credit for the con
summation is due Kepresentative
Bickett of Franklin aud Senator
Webb of Buncombe. If all those
whom the State should thsnk were
eunmerated, the list would em
brace not ouly a roll call of the
legislature but would look like a
census report.
Tuesday and yesterday some
thing was done for North Carolina.

Tell It, Tell It I
Many extreme and radical meas
ures are being proposed at Kaleigh,
but we hope the good sense of the
North Carolina legislators will re
assert itself. The eitremiaU are liable
to do a great deal more harm than
good to the interests of the people
and the State. The legislature makes
a great mistake if it assumes as a
body that "bull in the china shop"
legislation is demanded by the peo
ple. They want the right thing done
in the right way for the protection
of all interests. However, we continue
to believe that there is enough sense
and statesmanship at Raleigh to pre
vent the radicals from doing irre
parable harm to North Carolina's
present satisfactory progress and
promising future developments.
Wilmington Star.
Friend, if you know anything, tell
it Tut your fingers on the wild cat
lers and their measures. Don't make
rash generalizations and cause peo
ple to think that murderers are lurk
ing about without putting them on
guard as to the avenue of approach.
IWt you think, really, that you
are merely repeating the parrot talk
that is always sent out for a purpose
when anybody says anything about
making laws for the benefit of the
public instead of for special interests?
Isn't your warning the same old
screed that has boen sent over the
country from Maine to California
every time a Slate government or
the national government ever under
took to bridle any of the "interests"
that prey upon the public? The
land rogues of the West probably
feel that President Roosevelt is a
pernicious meddler when he under
takes to save the public domain from
their clutches. No doubt the Beef
Trust has the same poor opinion of
him. We'll guarantee that the big
insurance companies thought that
anarchy had broken loose when they
were brought to book and forced to
quit stealing trust funds. In fact,
we remember to have read some of
the things they said at the time, and
yours sounds painfully like them.
The coal operators and their allied
railroads, by whose criminal greed
and carelessness people are this day
freezing in some places, will agree
with your views fully. The liquor
interests in North Carolina have long
been alarmed about the danger of
local self government and the liberty
of the people. The men who make
money out of the bodies of young
children will heartily agree that all
the measures aimed at their practices
are dangerous to the peace and safety
of the country and that a legislature
that takes notice of them is composed
of wild eyed men. Really, Mr. Star,
you are not alone in your fears. You
have abundant company.

From the frontiers of Spain on
the north to the Straits of (iibraltar
ou the south is tCl miles up bill
both ways. It is niouutaius from
one eud to the other and the same
range coutinues on fur into Morocco.
In the ages past uo doubt the At
lantic and the Mediterranean were
one body of water aud the soil of
Spain many fathoms beneath the
water. It is likely that the same
mighty force which built the Alps
and reared the Pyreuees also
brought Spain above tlie waves.
From the north of Burgos to the
south of Cordova, some tH) miles,
there is a series of plateaux, with
mouutaiu ruins, which apiear to
have been large lakes when the
world was young. Iu the liue and
form i ug a part of (he long range
of bald mountains extending from
France far itto northwestern Af
frica, stands the Rock of (iibraltar,
whose head is 1,.TK5 feet above the
waters at its base. Ou one side ol
this rock is a city of over 27,000
people, of whom (5,000 are British
soldiers stationed thre. The rock
itself is not ouly a wonder of na
ture, but Kngland bus bored tun
uels and underground galleries all
through it, and out at small holes
enormous cannons are pointing in
different directions. Ou top are a
lot more of huge cannons. In the
harbor there is a lleet of war ves
sels. There are also enormous docks
n the city lor making and repair
ing war ships. Iu these docks over
1,000 men are worked daily, (ii
braltar has rather a war like ap
pearance. It is needless to state
that there is good order in that
(own. The soldiers are well be
haved, genteel young men aud not
thugs and toughs. It is a beautiful
sight to see them march to preach-
ng on Sunday, led by a band, and
each man having bis prayer and
hvmn book. From all appearances
they are gentlemen. One of them
was assigned by an ollicer to show
us the sights under, or lather in,
the rock, aud he was most affable
and obliging. For bis services he
could not be induced to accept pay.
It was indeed refreshing to meet
such a man after bearing little else
for six weeks except a clamor for
tees. But there is nothing small
about the way England does things.
On the Bide of the rock is an old
Moorish castle erected iu "12 and
now used as a British prison.
The man who introduced a bill
in the Indiana legislature to tax
bachelors is sorry be did it reo
pie are writing him scores of let
ten and and the papers are having
ffWinns fun with him. Ale was in
earnest at first, but now he has lost
his nerve and the bill will not be
pressed. It proposed to tax every
unmarried male over 30 years old
five dollars.

Cy Watson and Major Shaw
Wouldn t Do for Mussel men-
I am disturbed in my slumbers
in the morning at five o'clock by
the shrill voice of the muezzin call
ing the faithful to prayer. Tbe
Moslems pray five times a day, aud
must begiu at five o'clock, winter
aud summer. Just why such an
early hour is prescribed I can't
learn. It s too soon, there are
some people who Just could not
make consistent Mohammedans.
For instance, no muezzin could
ever call loud enongh to wake aud
get Hon. C. B. Watson of Winston
or Maj. John I). Shaw of Rocking
ham out of bed at five o clock in
the morning.
My guide is a good Mohamme
dan aud very religious. He also
has au eye to business. If busy at
the hour of prayer, he does not stop
to pray but makes it up later. He
likens it to the payment of a debt:
if unable to pay wbeu it is due,
still it must be paid. He says that
he owes the Lord five prayers a
day, and if he fails to get in one at
the appointed hour, he must make
it up later. His ideas of the next
world are not very clear. He
doesn't believe iu a hell or a devil.
"Who has beeu there aud come
back to tell us of those tbiugst" is
the way be disposes of the subject.
His Honor Sits on the Floor.
A Moroccan lawsuit is something
out of the ordinary. As we were
passing the temple of justice this
morning a trial was in progress.
Two fellows had some trouble last
night and one had haled the other
before the judge. The court room
'pavement. An early stroll will

morning slumbers had not beeu 1

of matting. Tbey just crawl in the ;
bket aud their rest is peaceful j
aud their dreams pleasant. Tbe
more prosperous have au apology
for a bed and even pay some atten
tion to style. The bulk of the peo
pie go barefooted all the winter,
but a few are extravagaut euough
to wear shoes but no socks. Tbe
more dudioh ties wear "yaller"
shoes, which harmouize nicely with
the hide on their legs.
Among the many novel things
seen here is one that I never ex
pected or wished to see. It is the
sight of human beings in the bonds
of slavery. Such a thiug is allowed
and practiced in Morocco. These
slaves are captured aud stolen iu
tbe Soudan, in Nubia and in the
iuterior of Africa, brought to Mo
rocco aud sold into slavery. Over
at Fez, tbe capital, they are sold at
public auction. There are certain
days for these sales. They can be
bought here at private sale. It is
a burning shame that such a con
dition should exist anywhere in
the twentieth century. But noth
ing iu Morocco should excite sur
prise. It is one of the most rotten
countries ou earth; it is particu
larly sorry every way. If it were
wiped off the map the world would
be none the worse off, or rather the
world would be the gainer if its
people were wiped out. It is just
now iu the public eye a great deal:
not on account of any good it has
done, but ou account of its very
wortlilesstiesH, The present situ
ation cannot last. Morocco is prac
tically without a government. It
has none such as can protect the
persou and property. There is
much said in the foreign press
alsmt the safety and protect iou of
foreigners in Morocco and a de
mand for better protection. France
and Spain want to put police iu
here and thereby furnish protec
tion. The Moors do not waut that,
aud are just now on their good be
havior. France has four aud Spain
two warships lying out yonder in
the bay with their cannons leveled
on Tangier, just waiting for an op
portunity to step in. What Mo
rocco needs is a protectorate or
coutrot by some European nation
which could and would establish
and maintain law and order. It
needs something like France in
Algeria or like England in Egypt.
Hut that is just what the Mo
roccans don't want. Lord Cuizon

Sick As a Dog.
From Gibraltar to Tangier is 40
miles, across one of the roughest
sheets of water to be found any
where, much worse than the Eng
lish channel. I have uever seen so
many sick people as we had on our
ship. On the way over I learned
the exact meaning or the very com
mon expression, "Sick as n dog."
genteel looking canine had start
ed out to indulge in the pleasures
of travel. He was friendly with
everybody and as light hearted and
gay as a bride on the day ot tier
marriage. He had never travelled
much by water, aud was igiiorant
of the pranks of old Neptune. A
choppy sea soon put a misery in
bis stomach, ana "(tie subsequent,
proceedings interested him no
more." After he bad paid his
tribute like a gentleman, even to
the last mouthful of bis breakfast,
he put on that sad look which is so
characteristic of the invalid. His
eves were weak, bis ears limp, and
his face pale. His general tie
meanor became quiet and uuassum-
iik. On his countenance be wore
an expression of calm resignation.
His mind was on a serious subject.
But, in comparison with tbe spell
which I bad ,a short while later,
that dog was enjoying splendid
health.
Falls Into the Arms of a floor
Tangier is situated on the bay of
the same uame. The steamer an
chors out some half a mile from the
shore and passengers disembark in
a small skiff. There is no mole or
sea wall to break tbe waves aud it
is a rather dangerous business get
ting into the little boat. The waves
toss it np and down like a feather
and one must get in exactly at the
proper time. Just asthe boat conies
up on the back of the wave, you
fall iuto the arms of a stalwart
Moor, who, with the strength of a
giant, deposits you safely in the
skiff. There is a regular swarm of
these little boats meeting every
ship. The yelling, quarreling and
gesticulating Moors, in their ef
forts to get passengers, make an
interesting sight The Moor, like
the boy, loves a noise.
After emerging from the custom )
house, the novel and strange sights ,
appear. The narrow streets are
crowded with people with all sorts
of impossible dree and with don
keys and mules carrying great bur
dens. Everybody and everything
is making a racket. Not only is
the eye and ear treated to rare
sights and sounds, but the nose is
ered porch in front. His Honor
was sitting flat down on the floor
with his legs gracefully crossed
under him. The defendant aud
prosecuting witness were sitting on
the porch tluor just in front of tbe
judge. They were both testifying
at the same time. Uuce or twice
they jumped up aud nearly came
to blows, but soou cooled off and
sat down agaiu on the Door. Their
testimony was in the nature of a
row, but his Honor was a man of
imperturbable mien. His diguity
was oppressive. But, so far as law
was concerned, it was evident that
his Honor did not know a law from
a louse.
Ou yesterday afternoon we un
derstood that an ambassador sent
to Kussia by the Sultan would re
turn about sundown. A large con
course of soldiers and citizeus were
going out to meet him. We de
cided to go, too, aud our gnide

for me that great American insti

Justice Rests With Him Who Has
Most Honey.
In a conversation with a native
Moroccan, I got his estituate of the
character of his people, both iu
public and privute matters. Ac
cording to his very candid state
ment, lying, swindling and rascal
ity are some of their leading traits
of character. Anu worse still, it
is idle to resort to a court for a
remedy. There justice cuts no
figure. My informant cited in
stances showing that bribery was
the winning card in a lawsuit 1
asked him if they had no lawyers,
and if so why a party didn't get
lawver who would see that his
client got bis rights. "Yes," said
he, "we have lawyers. The same
way with them. One will accept
fees from both sides and work for
wards the mountains through the one giving him the most."
which the ambassador and bis es- "Well, then." Tasked him, "why

seemed that the Governor had a
short memory, for couriers kept
coming to give the same informa
tion. Even after the ambassador
had beeu in sight for half an hour,
still it was deemed necessary to
notify the Governor that he was
coming. A grand procession, with
music and rejoicing, took place
through the principal street.

The guides and hotel men here
claim that there is perfect safety in
this couutry for foreigners. 1 be
lieve so, too so long as warclails
are anchored along the coasts and
French soldiers are actually iu con
trol of allairs in certain quarters,
as they are in Casablanca. There
is safety for foreigners iu the coast
cities, but they tial octter steer
clear of the interior. The natives
are lav and thriftless, and it is
easier to rob than work. The whole
country is at a dead stand still.
The Moors live in the past and no
new enterprise is thought of or at
tempted. There is not a railroad
id Morocco. It has really no com
merce. It has no newspapers. It
has none of the great agencies of
civilization, roreign capital is shy
of the country. It needs new mas
ters. When you sift it to the Iwt-
tom, the truth is the Moor has no
character. In both public and pri
vate matters, dishonesty is no dis
grace. There is no public opinion
to fear. Their religion is all wrong
and they are all religions. They
pray five times a day, olwerve the
fasts and otherwise follow the
Koran in most things, but for truth
and honesty they have no respect.
They are chained to Mohammedan
ism and au earthquake could not
shake them loose. Our mission
aries cannot reach them. The Moor
is a fanatic and a bigot and you
can't reason with him. There is
more hope for a beatheu.

w ife of It. 1. I'igg, who died Jan
uary .'bd, 1 !(;:
Mother, thou wag mild and lovely.
Gentle hs the summer breeie,
Pleasant as the air of evening
Among forest trees.
Peaceful lo thv silent slumlier.
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou no more will join our number.
Thou no more our song shalt know.
Dearest mother, thou hast left us,
Here thv loss deeply feel,
Kut 'tis (i'od that hath bereft us,
He can our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hoe to meet thee.
When the day of life is fled;
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee,
here no farewell tear are shed.
A Fkiksd.
