7 James B. Duke has blood pois oning in one foot. The Duke family has been getting it in the neck of late, and now they are getting it at the other extremity. More than one man has been think jngthatJ i 1 e n n Williams'. statement thathe has been 40 years in the whiskey business and never tasted the stun" is the prize case of wasted opportunity. The bill to insure honest pri maries for Salisbury, and Rowan . county, introduced into the Senate by Senator Wright and passed by the Senate, was killed in the House committee yesterday by Represen tative Walter Murphy, of Rowan county, and of Salisbury. Of this measure Ti.ik Si:x yes terday said: . If Representatives Murphy and Hall do all in their power to further the. passage of this bill, they will earn the grati tude of Rowan county, and not otherwise." It will be well for the voters to remember that -Representative Murphy is responsible for this ex cellent and sorely-needed measure failing to become a law. And the best time to remember it will be at the Democratic primaries in' the fdl of 1006.. DELAY IS DANGEROUS Why anyone who believes in honest Tjrimaries could oppose Senator Wright's bill or counsel I delay The Sun cannot understand The measure has been drawn with the utmost care, it safeguards ev ery interest, and it in ures protec tion for the conscientious voter against having his vote nullified by men hired to cast ballots to which they are not entitled. The proposition that it be submit ted to the voters next year looks like merely an expedient to gain time. It has never been the Amer ican policy to have a referendum vote on any question of public in terest. Legislators are chosen by the people to make laws in accor dance with what they deem the best interest of their constituents. If they cannot be trusted to do so, the remedy is simple. Turn them out at the next election and choose a new set who will act for the pub lic weal and will not be subservi ent to any ring or other external influence. A referendum vote on a question of this sort too often means that those who gain by dis-1 honest methods will employ those I means to defeat the will of the I neonle. and tlmn nim ami w?fK. a sh.nv of truth, that the public is opposed to the measure. If Rep resentatives Murphy and Hall do all in their power- to further the passage of this bill, they will earn tne f ratituue ol Kovvan Louruv, and not otherwise. MR. WILLIAMS, THE TEMPER ANCE ADVOCATE (Charlotte News) " This business was founded 137 years ago by my great grandfather," says Mr. N. Glen Williams, referring to his great whiskey distillery In the town of Williams. "After the law'' In corporating my place was passed," he says, " relying on the good faith of the great Democratic party, of which 'i " my self and my ancestors have ever been loyal adberants, I put into the business, so created and permitted, all the savings and earnings of myself and fathers." Mr. N. Glen Williams inherited this - - - ' " business from his father, from bis father's father, and his father's grani father. He is a man about forty years old, who is now at the head of the business, one of the largest whiskev, making concerns in this part of the country, and he is and has been for many years its active manager. He was born and reared within the bounds and grounds of whiskey dis tilleries, has lived there and been a th. wnri.- nil hu lifp. Th .first 11. L& wa m breath he breathed after coming into this world was mingled with the fumes of the whiskey makers, and a!- mnt ovprv breath hft has drawn since then has been the same, so that he scarcely knows any other. He played ... ... . .1 when a little child around tne oarreis of "mash" and "beer" and "sow paw," and doubtless the brightest pictures on the memory of hla early years are set on a back ground of tubs and bar- "rels and-furnaces and the whiskey trickling from' little spouts out of the end of the big worm. Moreover, from this business be , and his ancestors have drawn their sustenance, and eV ery hope and aspiration he has had from his birth has been centered and grounded in the manufacture and sale of whiskey. "Never having tasted a drop of whiskey in my life- -" Scarcely be lievable, simply wonderful, if true. Mr. Williams has a good reputation we believe, for honeety and truthful ness. We cannot, therefore, question this most remarkable statement. "Never having tasted a drop of whis- key in mj life he says Jn his letter to the General Asembly, from which we have already been quoting, "I have require of my employee an equally strict sobriety. The taking of adrinc by an employe of mine is a known cause for dismissal." Wonderful indeed is it that this big distiller, "whiskey magnate," they call him, who has been intimately as sociated from the day of his birth with the making and handling of whiskey, and who now sells it throughout the length and breadth of the land, spend ing 10",000 in one year advertising whiskey and advising, urging its use wonderful, indeed, we say, that this man should never have in his whole life of nearly forty years tasted a drop of the stuff he spends his whole time, with several hundred helpers, making and inducing others to drink. But- here we have something else equally wonderful, and as significant as won derful. Why does Mr. Williams forbid lis employes to take a drink-? And why does he so absolutely re frain himself from touching it-?. Never, we believe, have we any where seen a . stronger argument against the manufacture and sale of liquor as well as against its use as a beverage. If whiskey unfits a man for work around a distillery, does it not seem that it would also unfit one to work-in the factory, the store, the bank, on the railroad and in the mine? WELL TO REMEMBER GOING IT BLIND Blind Tiger Taken to Charlotte on Blind Baggage. (Charlotte News) Along with its string of cars speed ing southward with Uncle Sam's mail, No. 87, the Southern's fast mail train, brought In to Charlotte yesterday af ternoon a "blind tiger." As the puffing, snorting, screaming locomotive slowed up at the point where the Seaboard crosses the South ern, near the Ada mills, yesterday, a short, black, greasy little negro jump- ed from the blind baggage and started across to 11th street. Tkere were jugs swung from the negro's shoulders; jugs hanging from the waist and in front of the little negro-probably the best of the lot- swung a. one gallon jug from a cord that wound tightly around the man's I aeck. I All the way from Salisbury this agent of the Booze Fraternity, with his five jugs filled with fire water, crouched low on the front of the mail car, next to the tender. As the fast flying mail tra;n darted in and out curves; over and beyond the hills and low places, this same greasy individual swung to his ugs with one hand and with the other made sure of his position on the blind baggage. The red hot sparks as thoy whizzed from the smokestack of No. 97's en line, had no terror for this negro, They flew at him like so many darts from a furnace. But, undisturbed, with only one thought that of reaching Charlotte with his load of "sorepaw' -he sat and brushed away those cin I ders that stuck to his neck and face, because of their exceeding heat and fury. . The great speed of the ' midnight mail" had no terror for the negro." With each lurch of the train he swung closer to his jugs and every now and then would take a sip from the mosv convenient the one that --.wung from his neck. But with the stopping of the train a new Duraen was taneu uux carrying to "safety those flvo jugs of liquor. The police were to be dodged, also the suspicious ones who were dry.

C, Marchi Theo dore Roosevelt was todav transfor med from President by chance into President by choice; from President through an assassin's bullet into President through the ballots of the people. Under the shadow of the gray-dom ed , Capitol, gazing into the pljfccid marble, features of Greenough's stat ue of the first President, the twenty sixth President of the United States swore faithfully to execute the laws and to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. Once before he had taken this sol emn obligation; then, at the death bed of his martyred predecessor, sur rounded by a small company of tear dimmed friends and counsellors; to- day, in the presence of a cheering I host of fifty thousand people. Then he had ridden many lonely miles over storm-swept mountain roads to reach the tragic scene of his elevation;' to day he was escorted along the nation's grandest avenue from the White House to the home of Congress be tween two densely packed lines of his countrymen gathered from every quarter to cheer him and wish - him Godspeed in the . coming four years. Then he said, with choking voice, "It shall be my aim to ;continue ab solutely unbroken the policies of Pres ident McKinley for the peace, prosp erity, and honor of our beloved coun try." Today he left it for his fellow citizens,, who had honored him with a greater majority than ever before given, to judge whether or not he had redeemed that pledge. When he entered the White House the youngest President in his count ry's history, besides the vast respon sibilities of his office, he received as a heritage McKInley's dearest ambi tion to become more and more with the years the President of all the peo- nle. Today there were representd in th throngs that had journeyed hither to greet President Roosevelt men fro"1 the North, South, East, and West, and frm distant islands of the seas; from the Philippines, from Porto Rico, from Hawaii from every land where floats the emblem of the Republic. In the s?reat parade there rode Governors of States, both North and South. Filipi nos who had fought under the flag of Aeniinaldo today carried the arms of Uncle Sam and stepped proudly be neath the Stars arid Stripes. Blanket ed Indians from the virile plains vied with silk-hatted gentry from the ef fete East in sounding the praises of .this cowboy-author-soMier statesman. The President's old rancher friends. with lariat and chapareios and wiry bronchos, made strange contrast to the stiff-backed, pouter-chested young men from the national military schools Rough Riders from San Juan Hill. volunteers from Santiago, jackies from Manila bay shared the plaudits of the multitude with modest, every- dey soldiers, for whom the title Re gular is distinction quite enough. Political clubs from East and West, militiamen from North and South, blue-clad veterans of the sixties, he roes of the Spanish-American war. miners from Pennsylvania, the entire li 1 11 V 1 U A v i.a - viu 1 usm .m-M s - j legislature of the State of Tennessee the President's nlhbors from Oyster Bay all contributed to the national character of Che splendftd pageant. Who shall say that for today at least Theodore Roosevelt was not presi dent of all the people? The Colonel of the Rough Rider3 has written of his crowded hour in Cuba. Today he showed his former comrades a crowded hour In Washing ton. They were waiting for him when he emerged, from the WTiite House this morning 30 picked men under Governor Frodie. With the crack squadron A of the First Cavalry. V. S, .rmy. they formed his escort to the Capitol. A they swung around the Treasury building into Pennsyl vania avenue a division of the G. A. R., with General O. O .Howard and staff in the lead.which had been- stand- j lng at salute, wheeled into the column j txrVno tio ravftimnen cheeked their . pace to accommodate the slower foot- steps of the aged veterans. A mighty wave of cheors swept along the Aran- ue as the President's carriage came fn sight. Throughout the whole Short Mairl reroute the President, with hat in hand, .kept bowing In acknowledgement of the greetings. : On his arrival at the - Capitol he was oondncted to the Pres ident's room, in the rear of the ' Sen ate chamber, where he began at once the signing; of belated bills. At noon he entered the abode of the Senate to witness the installation of Senator Fairbanks v as Vice-President. This ceremony concladed, he proceeded to the stand on the east front of the - Capitol to receive the oath from Chief Justice Fuller and to deliver his in augural address. Immediately upon its conclusion the President was escor ted back to 'the White House, where, after lunching with the officials of the ' inaugural Committee, he took his po- scition on the stand in front to re view the formal. Inaugural parade. The quadrynnial national fete day will be concluded with a general illu mination of the city and fireworks on the Washington Monument grounds, followed by the great inaugural ball a the Pension buillug, at which President and Mrs. Roosevelt will be the guets of honor. The inauguration co?t about $65'. 000, which it is believed has been ful ly repaid in the sale of grand-stand seats and ball tickets. The guaranty fund subscribed ty Washington me f chants and business men will thus be returned.

NEW OFFICE BUILDING To be Erected on Council Street Ad joining Craig's Law Office C (From The Sun of. Saturday) A,. S. Heilig, Esq., and Colonel John S. Henderson have bought from the ... bv. F. J. Murdoch the vacant lot on West. Council street, immediately ad joining the law ' office of Burton Craige, Esq., and propose in the near future to erect an office building. Whether it will be of one story or several or whether it will be a very handsome structure or one of plain brick has not yet been decided. In any event, the erection of a substantial building on a lot which has always been an eyesore, and the shutting off from 'public view of the assorted bric- of vacant lots, rear of ores and prarie wagons, will be a decidedly desirable improvement. ' PAYING A BET Walter A. !Rentlaw Walking From Buffalo, N. Y., to .Jacksonville (From The Sun of Saturday) This morning there was in Salis bury a man by the name of Walter A. Rentlaw, who is walking from Buf falo, New York, to Jacksonville, Flor ida, to pay an eletcion bet. He made a wager with William J. Shannon of Buffalo on the recent gu bernatorial election in New York state. If Herrick was elected Shannon was to walk the distance and if Hig gins was victorious the walk fell to Rentlaw. Rentlaw lost and passed through Salisbury this morning on his way to Jacksonville. One provision of the wager was tha.t Rentlaw should live on 25 cents a day. The amount allowed him for the trip is all gone and he is living on the generosity of the people. une thousand dollars was put up as a forfeit to be paid to the winner in case the loser refused to comply with his part of the contract. Mr. Rentlaw says he appreciates the sunny weather we are having now after some of the rough experiences he has had. 1 , ADVERTISED LETTERS Advertised letters, remaining in the Salisbury, North Carlina, ' post office for the week ending February 28th, 1905.
