It is a singular thing that the peo ple who are making it hardest for the country to enforce its will in this respect are the honest business men. who, through a mistaken policy uran ignorant distrust of the people, ar raign themselves on the side of the criminal corporations, and by their influence ailord the most powerful protection to the evil doers who hurt the public and the honest business interests epia!'. This is seen all along the line and is as plain in North Carolina politics today as a bill board.

The South has taken little interest in the reports of the dinner of the Cosmopolitan Society of lireater New York last Monday night, at which white men and black women and white women anil black men, young as well as old, intermingled and bilked and laughed on a basis of perfect equality and at speeches which not only squinted at intermar riage but in which it was directly suggested as a solution of the race question were roundly applauded. The Souths view of the matter is that if the white participants in those festivities, many of them "leading" people, too, like that sort of associa tion and favor race amalgamation, so much the worse for them but that it is none of the South's affair so long as the proposition is not forced on it. Hence there has been no excitement, no splitting of the air, about it down here. Charlotte Observer. At Fort Wayne, Ind., on Snnday a hotel fire caused the death of at least twelve people.

T.i tin- Elllor.il Tlii- Journal .Almost every town as large as Monroe and many smaller villages have sewerage plants owned by the towns and operated at a very small cost. T'le time has come when Mon re cannot longer do without sewer age. The need is so pressing that all sensible men can see that the sit uation must be relieved. It is a so cial necessity, a sanitary necessity, an economic necessity, in the build ing and the use of a good sewerage system is the health of the city's in habitants largely concerned. The development of the town's sicial and business life depends largely upon the establishment of this one public utility. 1 he city s growth and its grow ing in population depend won derfully uiwrn this one public utility riith and unsanitary waste products must be eliminated or the inhabi tants will suffer disease and even death. There are, perhaps, from thirty to forty cases of typhoid fever and oth er infectious diseases in the city ev ery year. And there is a local cause for almost every one. 1 he cause lies in poor drainage, stagnation and or ganic decay where there ought to be good drainage and prompt elimination. Whsn one goes abroad and has oc casion and feels the inclination to speak well of his home town, the brst question he usually has to an swer is, "l)o you have sewerage in Monroe?" Monroe is the largest town within our observation that does not have sewerage and that, too, owned by the people for the people. Vi here there is sewerage there can be greater congestion of population without overcrowding and without danger to the public health. The value of town or city property is en hanced at least fifty per cent, by a good sewerage system. Lots that would not otherwise contain more than one residence on account of the privy's affecting the atmosphere and the sanitary conditions of the prem ises, can with perfect safety be uu lized for two or mora residences when there is an underground sys tem to carry awsy sewerage. There are many uptown lots that can be utilized for building lots when we get t sewerage system.

The wholesale drug house of the . II. King I'rng Company, corner of Martin and Wilmington streets was found to be on lire about quar ter past four o'clock and the alarm was turned in from the box corner of Martin and Wilmington streets, but there was some disarrangement of the wires and no alarm w is given Then there began wait and sudden ly during it the screams of a woman were heard and at a window on the third llixir was seen her face, blind with marks of anxiety and distress, wonderfully controlled. I'.xpecting each moment that the hook and lad der company would arrive, men in the crowd below called out to her to keep her head outside the window, so as to escape the d"nse smoke which by now had tilled the build ing. It was recognized at once that the smoke and Haines had so tilled the one staircase that the young lady on the third Ihxir could not descend these and that she must be rescued through the window. The young lady was Miss Belle Hayes, daughter of Mr. Richard Haves, and she was employed in the labelling department of the drug company, her work being on the third tloor. She obeyed instructions, but the minutes passed, no fire alarm was given and no firemen came w ith honk and ladder. It was seen that something must be done at once and a number of men sought for ladders in the neighborhood. A high stei ladder was secured and another smaller one from Messrs. Crowder & liand. I'p the step ladder to the first window on the second lloor went Mr. James Robinson, a Seaboard Air Line engineer, and with him Mr I)nnie Lumsden, assistant chief of the fire department Lnhesitating ly Mr. Robinson broke the window glass with his bare hand, and then he and Mr. Lumsden, perched on the narrow window ledge, maintaining their position with hands in the bro ken window, lilted the smaller lad der to the third story window and braced it by main force close against the wall, thus affording a means for Miss Hayes to leave her dangerous position above, by the route of most perilous one to safety. And Miss Hayes did not hesitate, for she had not lost her head. Out of the window she came and care fully she went down the fail ladder, held tight against the wall by Messrs. Lumsden and Robinson, the hitter with bruised and bloody hands, who had to exert all their strength to keep it io place. Soon she reached the line of the second floor window and the top of the step ladder, where she was grasped by ready hands and soon taken in safety to the street. Ik ', exchanged.
