Decent people, irresiective of party, are hop ing tliat the President will Jiave the courage to wash his hans of the no torious Addicks for all time, but the telegraphic news is to the effect that Addicks' lieutenant, Allee, lias already gone to Oyster Bay to secure the selec tion of an Addicks man as Bryne's successor, and the ' public will await with interest the news of the recep tion accorded him by Mr. Hoosevelt. Commissioner, of labor, Carroll D. Wright, has, in the capacity of um pire for a board of conciliation, ap pointed unier the provisions of the decision of the Antliracite Coal Strike Commission, rendered an important decision affecting labor. Mr. Wright, adjudicating a case where the labor interests claimed tliat one of their number has been discliarged without cause, points, out' that the right of discharge must remain with the em ployer, the only alternative being the forfeiture of the right of quittal on the part of the employed. In other words, if the employer lias no riht to discharge his men then the men can claim no right to quit and a virtual serfdom would thus be created. The labor organizations are said to be dis please 1 with the decision, but Mr. Wright's corsollary is so obvious tliat it is probable that when further reflec tion has enabled theni to take a broad er view of the situation they will ap preciate the justice of the decision. There have been some important de velopments in connection with the Postoftice Investigation during the past week but their real significance is thus far guarded with the utmost se crecy. It is known tliat the District of Columbia grand jury lias , returned seven indictments against six persons, but who those persons are it is impos sible to ascertain. Arrests are expected hourly now and as soon as they are made the facts will doubtless be given to the public.

It is evident to my mind tliat it was the pro-whiskey sentiment and vote tliat defeated yon, and not the desire of prohibition, although the opposition made all the music on the prohibition string tliat. was in it. There was evi dently among some a fear that if they got the dispensary thev would never get rid of it, that it would be their ultima thule; and tliat mav have weakened their hands in the fight for the greater good , tlian the saloon and the lesser good tlian prohibition. But make a fight now for prohibition straight, and I prophecy that nine tenths of the vote that was cast against the dispensary will be cast against pro hibition, unless there is a. radical cliange of sentiment on the funda mental question of temperance. This change is going on everywhere, and will go on in your town until the peo ple will rise up in their might and say that the imperialism of the saloon shall no longer exist among them. : Now I presume, the stillhouses of the county will be tumbled in on you, and you will liave a reign of rotten Dummies, gnats, bluebottle flies, yel low jackets and pandemonium. In the meanwhile the licensed saloon will prey on the morals of your sons and husbands and continue to manufac ture drunken companions for your daughters, as they liave done hitherto. ; It is evident to me tliat where a community is not prepared for prohi bition, tliat the dispensary is the next best thing to it, and that it will cur tail drinking and increase public rev enue. The question of whiskey or no whiskey is a question upon which honest men may differ. It is not ab surd to say tliat alcohol lias its lawful uses, and tliat regulation, not prohi bition, is the true policy. But if we are to have regulation, the Lord de liver us from high license ! It seems to. me tliat the dispensary is the only feasible species of regulation that has yet been invented. ; In Reidsville you must await the groVvth of temperance sentiment. This will be brought about by the pulpit, the public schools, the press and those hundreds of physical, intellectual, so cial and moral influences whose' com bined product is the higher civiliza tion. Laws cannot run far ahead of public sentiment. That is the unwrit in law of the land after all. No law tliat is not enacted or sustained by it can be executed.

Jones county today is the scene of excitement from one end to the other, over the murder of Furnifold G. Simmons, father of United States Senator P..M. Simmons, who was brutally shot and clubbed to death yesterday afternoon by a negro whose name is said to be Daniels. Mr. Simmons, who lived about eight miles from Pollocks ville, Jones county, went there yesterday to sell his cot ton, and as he did not return last night his family became uneasy as to his whereabouts, as it was known that he had a good sum of money on his per son. His grandson, James H. Sim mons, who is a merchant of this place, was notified last night that his grand father was missing, and he left imme diately to help in the search. Senator Simmons was also notified, and lie ar rived here today and was immediately driven out to , his old homestead, and when he reached there he found tliat the body of his aged father liad been found down on the banks of Trent river, about one mile from his home, with three gun shot wounds in the body, and a club wound on his head. A report reached here that the man who committed the crime was caught near Pollocksville, about 2 o'clock tins afternoon, and there was every indi cation that the citizens were very much wrought up over the matter. Mr. Simmons, the murdered man, was a quiet, peaceful old gentleman, and the affair has cast a gloom over this entire city, where he was well and favorably known. Mr. Simmons was TO years of age. A dispatch to the Observer eorre spondent from Pollocksville gives the following particulars: "Fumitold G. Simmons, father of Senator F. M. Simmons, was shot to death Saturday afteruoou by an Juuknown party who was trespassing on his laud, squirrel hunting. Mr. Simmons lives in Jones county, about 17 miles from this place.

"Well, wliat are Mf. Britt's chances for the nomina tion?" was asked of one of the Pro- i fessor's friends. 4l'What are Mr. Britt's chances for the congressional nomination?" "Excellent, and he will surely get it i he wants it," was the reply. '1'Mr. Britt is verv auiet. but lie is strong everywhere. Uur only dim cultv is in fretting him to become an avowed candidate." S-Unon'what do his friends base their claims?" 4;' First, his personal fitness, being a man without public or private blem- isli ; second, his ability, he being the party's ablest man in the district, and his strength as a mixer with the peo ple!; and, third, his party loyalty and party service. As a campaigner he is fluent, ready, pointed, and a hard hit ter. He has measured arms with some of the ablest democratic speakers in the state, among them Lieut. -Governor Turner and Congressman Bellamy." f Wliat of this alleged war between the 'Out' and 'Ins'" "I take no stock. in that. Mr. Britt would not coutenance it for a moment. Some of the friends of one of the can didates are trying to array the repub lican ma&sea against the office holders, but it won't work. Our republican voters are too tatriotic for tliat. On the! one l;and no good republican would make an office the condition or ins party service. Such talk tends to di vide the party into faction.

Naturally great regret will be felt by everyone at Dr. Pearson's leavinr, because for many years he lias be u endeared to the people and the con stantly increasing reputation of the distinguished evangelist Ijas been a matter of pride to the city, but hi leaving is really a matter of necessity and not of choice. For twenty year Dr. Pearson liar4abored incessantly iu the evangelical field and this trying work has so affected hi heart tliat Dr. Burroughs has peremptorily forbidden his patient to continue longer in thi service. It was at this time-that th chair of Bible teaching in Cumberland was offered to Dr..

It seems tliat a white man who is a prominent farmer, named Charles Whitely, who lire about four miles from Clayton, liad some domes tic trouble with his wife and pro ceeded to beat her unmercifully. She fled from her home to the home of her relatives and there told her pitiful story, exhibiting marks of the inhu man cruelty to which she had been subjected. The next night an organized body of unknown, men visited the house of Whitely, tied him up and carried him out into the woods and there beat him with hor-whij until he was almost dead. Their mrting injunction to him was to ieav the community by the next night, and if be didn't," thev would come back and kill htm. Instead of leaving lwgot together a crowd of hi friend and waited for the avengers, but as yet they liave not carried out tlieir tlireat. More trouble is expected. YANC EY VILLE TELEPHONE CO.
