TO CORRESPONDENTS
The Semi-Weekly Journal's appeal
made a few weeks ago lor more
news from country correspondents
had a noticeable effect as wc inime
uiatelv received a number of most
interesting letters. Now we are wri
ting again for fear the ardor of our
friends will cool. We urge you to keep
the good work up. Help us make
the Semi-Weekly Journal helpful and
interesting to you.
We regard the letters lrom our
country correspondents as one of the
means the Journal , has of being of
service to the section of country
through which it circulates, These
letters bring the people closer to
gether and tend to the development
of a community interest which is
most helpful. You help your own
community and by suggestion help
other communities by sending us the
news as it transpires in your neigh
borhood. Let us hear from you !
Senator Bailey continues to appcrr
to feel that if he doesn't keep busy
the constitution will be thrown on the
scrap heap. The last time the former
Senator showed up was in Norfolk
where on Saturday night he made a
fierce tirade on those imaginary per
sons who he says are tearing the fine
old instrument to shreds. It is to
be hoped the constitution comes clean
and if it does we shall all know w hom
to thank.
VIRGINIA'S FISH COMMISSION
The Journal has recieved a copy of
the report ot the Virginia Commission
of Fisheries. The commission appears
to have bet n of very great service to
the State of Virginia.
By virtue of its policies it hrs saved
millions of bushels of immature oysters,
which have multiplied into marketable
stock thus producing greater wealth
for the people of the Old Dominion.
These results have been accomplished
by means derived s lely from the direct
revenues, while annually turning in
from $25,000 to 850,000 per year net
prohi to the State.
Virginia has N( rth Carolina badly
beaten in the oyster and fish industry
and one of the reasons that this is true
is that Virginia has an active fish com
mission to look after the industry and
make it a "go." The fish and oyster
problem in North Carolina is one of the
biggest problems the State has to deal
with and it is cause for regret that the
advice of Dr. Pratt and the other mem
bers of the Fisheries Association
in connection with the establishment of
a Fish Commissi! n for this State was
not taken. Entirely too much of North
Carolina's money goes to Virginia for
fish and oysters.
MEXICAN AFFAIRS GOING FROM
BAD TO WORSE
Matters go lrom tad to worse in
Mexico. The latest development and
the most serious of all is the slaughter
oi the deposed president and vice-presi
! Fra"risco Madero and Jose
Suarez. They were killed shortly
after midnight Sunday morning
while being taken in an automobile
from the national palace to the per.i
tiary.
The particular regime which claims
to be the government says that it is
by no means responsible for the shock
iig affair and that it will investigate
the slaugnti r ol the two men and try
to see that the guilty parties are punished
In Mexito Lity, according to Hie dis
pat lies, many believe that the official
explanations are misleading and that
Madero and Snares were accorded the
jKp pome summary treatment as Gus
two Madero, who a few days prev'o.ts
was sjbiected to the notorious lugitivi
iaw, resulting in his being shot to death
bv euarris.
However, with some show of truth
Presidert Huerta and Francisco deLa
Barra, the foreign minister, have issued
lui.g statements which perhaps have
satisfied some minds that they are not
responsible fer the death of t he-two men,
but that they 1 st their lives as a result

did not go to the uovernor himsel
but to the men who convinced tht
Governor that this or that person wav
a fit subject of clemency. None of the
charges have been substantiated and
they may all turn out to be groundless.
But the greed tor gam is deep-seated
lowadays and there is never any teliing
in what unexpected places it will be
mamlested. Like as not there is some
thing in the charges. And if so, the
lesson is as of yore: Be sure your sin
will find you out. Honesty is not on!v
right and honorable and the only course
1 1 be considered for a moment by a
right-thinking person. It is also the
jest policy.
Pretty soon, the way things are look
ing now, the Colonel can stop standing
it Armageddon and prcceed to Mexico.
Affairs are pretty tolerably exciting
in Mexico, but according to the head
lines in the News and Observer, the
important question is what is the Wake
Water Company going to do.?
Ambassador Wilson is hopeful about
the new regime in Mexico ,but the press
dispatches which bring news of his
optimistic views also tell of the execu
tion by the government of ninety
five soldiers who revolted at the slay
ing of Maderc. And the latter affair
certainly does not argue strongly for the
prospect of the new government be
coming popular with the people.
President-elect Wilson has announced
that he will call the extra session of
Congress for April 1. That appears to
be about as early as the special scs- the essential quaiities ef its people,
sion could hve ben called, all If the mass & thpm are indifferent
things considered. And the fact that L theB course of events, fly-by-night
Governor Wilson does not seem d'E- revoiutions w: continue to develop
posed to postpone the extra session an i;ve t(je;r little day only to be suc
indicates that he is not afraid of it. d d b th h

to come in ior a great ucji oi hiiubw,
but there is hardly a probability that
he will try to escape any responsibility
that may fairly ccme his way. He is
going to hew to the line, let the chips
fall where they may.
Unless things brighten up in Mexico,
Governor Wilson will begin his term
of office under circumstances that are
more than ordinarily trying. With
changes in the country's policy im
pending that are more radical than any
that have been attempted in a genera
tion, with the matter of interven
tion in Mexico imminent, nobody must
blame the next President if he does not
always appoint the right man post
master. Being the head of this country
for the next four years is not going to
be a snap.
The man who. gave its name to the
anti-tr 'tt bill says that it is stronger
than any other anti-trust l.ill that has
been introduced in the General As
s robly in the last few years. But the
f .ct that the Senate passed the bill
unanimously indicates that there may
be a joker hid away in the bill some
where. If there isn't then wonders
will never .cease. The North Carolina
State Senate voting unanimously for
an anti-trust bill with teeth is certainly
a novel spectacle.
When Un Ie Sam eets ready to in
tervene in Mexico, .North Carolina no opposition to tne provision itself,
as usual will be ready to go first and I The only argument against t,he in

General Lawrence VV. Young has I The Stale treasury faced, a deficit of
w red General Leonard Wood, noti- $ 700,000 and no possible means of
tying him that the services of the I raising the money necessary for the
iNorth Carolina National Uuard are
tendered in the event of war and
requesting that North Carolina's full
quota be designated among the first
to be called out. Quite evidently, if
there are anv chicken-hearted ones in
the North Carolina Nnional Guard,
they are not all satisfied with the new
Adjutant General.
Joscphus Daniels is pre-eminently
a man of peace. With him as Secretary
of the Navy a naval program of retrench
ment in battleship building may be
looked for. He also believes that the
Democratic party which has been
preaching economy should practice
it, so that on the ground of economy
also he will favor the expenditure of
less money on the navy.
One reason why Governor Wilson
hasn't taken time to get posted on
administration affairs may be that he
has been too busy getting things in
shape to get something accomplished
when he actually takesup the duties
of his exalted office. "Results" will
be the slogan of the new administra
tion.
The municipal campaign in New
Bern is exceedingly slow in getting
unuer way. v .111 1 buiiicitutiy start
something? We believe a little political
activity in tnis town, provided it is
not of the pernicious sort, would be
desirable. It appears to be as good
as settled that the present form of
government will be retained. But
doens't it make any difference to any
body who's going to be Mayor and
who are gi ing to constitute the Board
cf Aldermen?
President Taft is said to be vc-y
much puzzled because Governor Wil
son hasn't shovn a desire to get in
complete touch with affairs that will
confront his administration. Well,
the Governor has had a very busy
time of it at Trenton. To do the duty
that lies nearest is doudtless his policy
and the man who tries to put reforms
over in New Jersey certainly has his
hands full. Once the professor gets
time to look in on matters at Wash
ington, there will be no more occasion
for Mr. Taft to be puzzled.
GETTING GOOD MEN FOR CABI
NET POSTS.
With rather strong evidences of
accuracy the report is out that several
cabinet positions have been definitely
settled upon. 1 hey are W. J. Bryan
for Secretary ol State, Joscphus Daniels
for Secretary oi the Navy, A. Is. Burle
son for Postmaster General, Louis D.
Brandeis for Attorney General. Wil
liam G. McAdoo for Secretary of the
Troas. r. II the reit ol the ap
Doint merits are as good as these, as
suming that these have been deter
mined upon by Governor Wilson, there
will be no fai It to be found with the
next Cabinet. Every one of these names
is a guarantee that Governor Wilson's
administration will be what he has said
all along it wo Id be, that is, progress
ive. It is particularly gratifying though
in no sense surprising tnat a INorth
Carolinian is among those who it seems
will surely sit around the President:
elect's council table. Both from the
standpoint of capability and from the
standpoint of party services Mr. Dan
i ls is eminently deserving of the high
honor ol a place in tne cabinet.
NORTH CAROLINA AS A CRI-
TERION.
The Pichomnd Time Dispatch in
an edltoi al republished K the Journal
ttdty gic .North Carolini high priase

much the advantage of North Carolina
in the Lns;th cf its school term, standing
crty-nrst want iNorth Carolina is
forty-seventh, and the Times Dis-
patch, holding North Carolina up as a
criterion says to Us own state, go
thou and do likewise".
The remarkable thing has been that
North Carolina was so . long in doing
justice by the common schools. It is
ocssible indeed that had not the govern
meat census come out showing this
state to be better off educationally than
New Mrx'co only even yet the need for
decisive action would not have been
felt.
MEXICO'S KNOTTY PROBLEM.
tne proDtem ol the Mexicans Is a
big one. The Norfolk "Virginian Pilot
says:
"The facility with which revolutions
affecting the personality of rulership
are e rected in Me-ico evidences strong
ly the tact trat the masses of th
population aie in lifferent whether this
or that one of t ie contestants for power
wins tempoiary ascendancy. If it
were otherwise the insignificant forces
which sufficed for the expulsion of the
Diaz regime would have dissolved at
their first encounter with regular
troops, nor could the collapse of the
Madero government have been brought
about by an army of rebels, mustering,
at the time of the first collisiou, not
more than the strength cf a couple
of regiments."
If the Norfolk paper has correctly
"diagnosed the situation, the question
is, what would happen in Mexico if
the folks should really get- interested?
One shudders to think.
Of cOdrse, too, it is a fact that what-
At,..: . i k ..f

So the remedy for Mexico must be
applied at the bottom, rather than at
the top. The future depends more on
the great mass of the people than upon
the few men of position who foment
and maintain revolutions. A noted
preacher speaking here the other night
told what the impact of Jesus Christ
had done in China. It is the supreme
need in Mexico. Education, and the
type of the Christian religion which
fosters education along with its other
beneficent aims, will settle Mexico's
problems and nothing else will;
NORTH
CAROLINA
SCHOOLS.
WANTS
North Carolina is leading all South
ern States in prompt and- vigorous
measures to improve her educational
facilities as a result of finding the
State in forty-seventh place in the na-
ion. The Legislature has just passed
a law providinglor a public school
term of not less than six months in
every school district in the State.
Hitherto the average session has been
only four months. This measure was
admitted to be the most urgent and
necessary legislation before the pres
ent General Assembly, and, despite pro
tracted debate, was finally enacted by
a large majority.
So convinced were the Carolina
lawmakers that something had to

way of paying for the schools.
No more encouraging sign of SoutlH
crn progress has been given in recent
years than this firm determination to
provide education at any cost. It at
tacks the problem in the right way: by
deciding what must be done for the
nonor and growth of the State, and
then going on to finding the funds. Of
course, the increase of two months
schooling per year will be worth a
thousand times what it costs. Every
educate 1 child will eventually increase
the wealth of the State manifiold times
what it costs to give him this essential
training. If a deficit has to be faced
for ten years, North Carolina will in
the end get rich dividends on her in

AMERICANS' PERIL
GROWING GREATER
In Graver Danger Now Than Be
fore tne Huerta Regime
Went Into Power.
ATROCITIES IN COAHUILA
Consul at Matamoras Attacked
While Defending Countrymen
From Being Robbed.
Washington, Feb. 26. Startling evi
dence that American lives and Ameri
can property are in even graver peril
than they were before the Huerta
regime in Mexico has been received
by the state Department. Hie de
partment, however, took no action
whatever in the matter.
From consular reports and tele
grams the government learned that
the climax of atrocities against Ameri
cans has been reported in Coahuila,
;n the north-c;ntral part of Mexico.
and all along the American border.
The consul at Cuidal Porfirio Diaz
reported that Colonel Jesus Carranza,
brother of the Governor of Coahuila,
arrived in that town at 3 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, accompanied by
200 armed men, and announced his
purpose of preserving order, although
thcie had been no disorder up to that
time. Carranza has thus far refused
to submit to the Hucrta-Diaz regime,
and there are grave reasons to fear
that he and his troops will soon be in
pen insurrection.
From the consul at Durango word
was received that the Copper Queen
mine, owned by the American Smelt
ers Security Company, was sacked
February 23 by a band of armed
guerillas, numbering sixty. The con
sul at Matamoras has called upon
Coverno: Colquit, of Texas, to pro
tect the Jives of Americans in that
village. The consul himself was at
tacked while protecting Americans
who were being robbed.
Senator Morris Sheppard brought
word to the White House that he had
received manv telegrams from Texas
along the vorder, demanding that
something be done to protect Amen
cans live and property.
Undisturbed by these reports, the
State Department let them lake the
usual course
Consul Garrett, who was attacked
by Mexicans while doing his best to
protect the lives ol his countrymen,
was ordered to make a report to the
department, .giving all the facts. Re
ports were also asked from other con
suls, who had already reported out
rages of various sorts. When these
reports are
received they will be
forwarded to Ambassador Wilson, in
the City of Mexico, and Wilson will
add thein to the claims ot other Amen
can citizens, who ask redress for the
outrages which they and their families
have suffered at the hands of the law
less banditti, now roving through the
Mexican frontier.
As an indicat ion of the terrorism that
exists through the Mexican territory,
Theodore C. Hamm, Consul-General
at Durango, reported that 200 of the
garrison at lorreon have revolted,
and are in arms aginst Huerta. These
200 men are more than a match for
the few troops Huerta has been able
to spare from the safeg larding of . his
own newly-built republic in the capital.
Despite these dispatches, which fol
lowed each other into the State De
partment with alarming rapidity, to
day, there was nb change in the settled
policy lor tlte government to give
Wilson .which exonerates Huerta and
Oiaz fl"on any guilty knowledge of
the plot to shoot down Madero and
Suarez.

Dr. Gee said- last night that he had
been treating the child for several
days and had written numerous pre-
scnptions lor him. Un all written
prescriptions, he said, he wrote For

said, "I wished to give the little fel

were deuvered noon Monday, and were
