JANUARY 28. 1916 Villa's new !atlle cry, "Rem ember Onwco," is about as appropriate a if the Colonel should say "Remember Taf t." . - ". ' .' , ,i 4 '" ;.;"u, That Virginia lawmaker who wants an annual session of the Legislature is evidently desirous of making his job a steady one. couple went to Norfolk, accompanied by a relative, and after being legally married were returning to their home, when they were apprehended by local officers, draped before the Recorder, convicted of illicit relations, sen tenced to the roads and to jail, respectively, and turned out on an appeal bond. j Even If they had been technically guilty, there is a se- j rimw --question whether their prosecution would have been warranted, for it was clearly nhown that it wan their desire to become man and wife, and that they became su'h atjhe very first opportunity. ! The jury did its duty and did it well, when it quickly net the Mump of disapproval upon the prosecution, but, unfortunately, the jury's verdict cannot remove the re- flection and the prejudice that must of necessity have been aroused in the minds and heartsof the neighbors of these young people. It i.s to the credit of the level headed men composting the jury, that they were not in fluenced by the argument of counsel for the prosecution in its endeavor to inject race prejudice and hatred where, apparently, there was no occasion for so doitig. The Free Press stamU for the purity of the race and its perpetuation, but it does not believe that any good comes from such trials a this, the prosecution of which was little tdiort of persecution. The whole affair was unfortunate, indeed. Editor King of the Durham Herald consoles him:lf and his readers by reminding them that "At least, liors? meat could not be tougher than some of the other kind we get." - The wanton destruction of the State's) resources with no apparent thought of the morrow is akin to the fool ishness that prompted the fellow of old to kill the goose that laid the golden egg. The decision of the United States Supreme Court up holding the constitutionality of the income tax law wouM hardly be termed a "popular" measure. At least it con cerns only the select few. The Rock Hill Herald speaks of a man who lives ir some North Carolina town as being a "curiosity," Is it ioasible that Rock Hill is so far behind the procession a to not have uch a "critter" within Us confines? (Then are several of the species hereabouts.) Regarding the delightful climatp, of the Old North State, about which several of our contemporaries arc "raving," w would beg leave to ugget that o simple statement of facts without any mbellishmonts will do the cause more service than any flowery claims which1 may (be discounted. But to make matters brief w? would add that the "climate is truly delightful." ; WHAT OTHERS SAY COLOR OF THE PAPER. Norfolk Ledger Dispatch: "Near ly all of the newspapers of the country are now being printed on pa per uf a natural calor. that of the spruce from which it is made. "This is a direct result of the war. fi.r among the aniline dyes which ;.me from Germany was one that mvc tiie spruce p:iier used by newspaper-! the blue-white, artificial col or most of us are accustomed to. De prived of that dye, the uig paper mills must now supjly us with pa per as it comes from the wood. "While the natural color may not present as an attractive appearance as the white paper, there may be some consolation in the fact that that .some oceuplists claim that tha natural color is less tryitng to the ryes." WORTHY ONSE TO RIGHTEOUS CALLS. The Free Press is gratified that Kinston has responded o genctously to the call of the Jewish people of the war stricken lands, Bounded through the proclamation of the President of the United States at the suggestion of .the J Semite. America has received many distress appeals from the unfortunate people, whose very means of livelihood has been taken from them. To America's credit may it be sid that she has heard the calls, ami that none has had a deaf ear turned upon it. The calls have been from va rious sects and religionists. Jew and Gentile, Christian and heathen, but they have been from down-trodden and starving people to a people whoso larder, by the Grace of Cod, has leen kept full, arid the spirit of brotherly love has been manifested without regard for religious differences or lack of religion. The calls are those of humanity, and well it. it' that they have been answered, and that they will be answered until the stricken people shall again be self-sustaining. It Is unfortunate -that a few over-zealous American soldiers should Invado Mexico and run tho risk of in volving this nation in any unpleasantness with the re cognized government of Mexico. The prompt action of General Funston In ordering the arrest of the officers who jMrmitted the soldiers to cross the boundary In vio lation of his orders is commendable, and an example should be and, no doubt, will 1m-, made of these men. AN UNFORTUNATE CASE! The trial of the young Jones County couple, which was wound up in Superior Court Thurrday, when th.i jury, after but a few minutes deliberation, rendered u verdict of not guilty on a charge of illicit relations, was a particularly unfortunate one. There was apparency in the prosecution an attempt to stir up race prejudice, and it was the consensus of opinion of the Court, the liar and hiymen, that tho evidence submitted was not of a character to have warranted the prosecution. 1 if " serious matter to arraign innocent people on chargei' of immorality and publicly charge a young man and r. young woman with crime, which there is not evidence to sub. stantiate. Tha evidence submitted in this particular case tended to hiw that the young man who, it was ulleged. has (. taint of negro blood, was uf exemplary character, ijuiei, law-abiding, industrious ami prosperous. There was evi dence to show that he applied for license to wed, to the Register of Deed of Wayne county, and also of Ia-hoIt county, and that his request was nut granted because there was some doubt in the minds of the registers a to the age of the young woman. After failing to In' ac corded the right to marry in their native State, this youni BIENNIAL SESSIONS QUITE SUFFICIENT. A Virginia legislator has presented a joint resolution in the lower House of the State Assembly to amend the constitution and provide for an annual meeting of 45 days of the Virginia General Assembly, lie further pro poses that general legislation shall bo attended to one year, and private, local and special matters on the alter nating yctttrs, with the proviso that general or special ltglslation may be taken up out of its turn upon the approval of nine-tenths of the membership of the Legis lature. We don't know how the Virginia folks will regard this situation, or how its Legislature will not upon it, but, certainly in North Carolina the biennial session is suffi cient to supply na with a multiplicity of laws, the ma jority of which the general public never even hears about, and the average lawyer never becomes conversant with. From the layman's point of view, fewer and more comprehensive laws would be far better than the un ending fjrind that is turned out every session of the Leg islature. There is one feature of tho Virginia legislator's plan which is worthy of more than passing thought, and that is his suggestion to separate the local and private laws from the general laws. In fact. It would be well, and it has been agitated in this State, to divorce entirely the multitudinous petty local laws from the legislatures and clothe tho local commissioners with authority to handle those matters, which really amount to little more than detail work, and which concerns comparatively a small portion of the people. At any rate, the Virginian's idea will be regarded with some degree of interest until it is disposed of one way or the other by the action of tho Assembly. OIL IS A RIGHT SI RE , RELIANCE. " '"' Birmingham Ledger: "A few days ago the commissioner of agriculture, in one of his valuable weekly letters, cautioned Alabama farmers not to expect to get rich on peanuts in a year. That is a good warning to all farmers. For fifty years they have tried to get rich on cotton, but none have gotten rich and few have be come prosperous with cotton. This is largely because the buyer ffxes the price of cotton. A change in farm ing methods has been forced on Ala bama by the visitation of the boll weevil. "Among the substitute crops sug gested are peanuts, and last year a few mado money with them. A great many men can make money this year with that nut, and will do it, if the oil from the nut is suitable for the purposes now supplied by cotton seed oil. The money value of 'he crop depends on that. The Bir mingham Ledger thinks the cash from the peanut will come from the sales of nuts for oil, when the cake ia a secondary product. "Of course the nut are valuable for hog fob); but there are , not enough hog to eat a large- eropi When the oil mills want the crop the farmer will get cash, and his vines will be cured and the hulls fed to cattle. "The peanut is a good prospect and a few acres may help the farmer materially and cannot hurt his pock et. We take Commissioner Wade's warning to be given merely to pro tect the farmer from over produc tion. If the oil m aeet eht a tion. If the oil meets the necessi ties of the market the crop cap ba increased year by year. If the cot ton crop is materially cut by weevils and wiather, the demand for oil will be strong. Alabama can make large peanut crops." Treat Children's m Colds Externally Don't dose delicate little stomachs with harmful internal medicines.
