THE TEXAS FEVER.
A map sent out by the United States
Department of Agriculture shows the
tirrVnry quarantined on account of
the Texas fever of cattle. North Caro
lina is the f urthcrest state north that has
the Texas fever to any appreciable
Agricultural Department.
There is a trace of it running North
through the State from Macon county
on the South to Surry county on the
North, while a layvr of counties four
or fie deep on the Eastern coast
shows on the map in the red which
indicates the quarantine. These are
infested by the cattle tick which is
responsible for the cattle fever. All
of the counties in this section are yet
under the quarantine and cattle can
not be shipped out of the section except
under the strictest government regulation!-.
It is to be hoped that the State wide
stock law or some other device that
will accrmplish the desired end will
speedily be invoked to redeem this
section of the State from the great
industrial handicap of Texas fever.
Stcck raising on any thing like a large
scale would seem to ue lmpossioic or
certainly unprofitable until the beef
in this section can pass muster as be
ing as good as that raised in any
other part of the country.
GOVERNMENT BY LAWYERS.
Governor Hadley of Missouri in a
public address recently made stated
the obviou; truth that this is a gov
ernemtn by the lawyers and always
has been. Naturally a lawyer is more
expert in making laws than the
average person and making laws is a
large part of the business of govern
ment And then when it comes to con
struing laws, of course the lawyer is
in demand. Even in the executive
branch of the government except in
the smaller subdivisions, the lawyce is
the dominant figure, more particularly
now when our Governors are expected
to exert a tell'ng influence on the law
making bodies.
As we have stated, the tiuth of Gov
ernor Hadley's statement is so patent
s aalmost to be a platitude. The law
yer runs the country.
Vice-President Mar: hall, himself a
lawyer, recently gave some "doh'ts"
for lawyers which lead to the conviction
that there must be at all events a
considerable number of lawyers whose
code of professional ethics leaves some
thing to be desired, though of course
there are also many who do not follow
any of the reprehensible practices that
Mr. Marshall puts under the ban when
he says;
"Don't put a fee before a just cause.
"Don't worship money to the extent
of being willing to write a dishonest
contract in order to get a large fee.
"Be a pcacci. aker; that is ihe law
yer's bi siness.
"Don't chase ambulances.
"Honor your profession as your own
sacred honor; the.eforc do not seek or
confound litigati, n:
"Don't accept contingent fees.
"Use your influence against the sys
tem of allowing attorney's fets in ad
vance in divorce cases; therein lies the
ecvil of the divorc laws; when that
has been abolished half the divorce
Cases will be stopped.
"Use your inf uence to compel a per
ton charged wi h critr.c to testify in
the car.se; the ii nocent man cannot be
harmed thereby.
"Take the pait of the known crim
inal, but only to see that justice is
tempered with n ercy.
"Don't ir.qi ire as to your tlicnt
pocketbook before fixing your fie."
N )T OF THE FIGURE HEAD KIND.
Speaking of the work of Jostphns
Danelis as Secretary of the Navy, the
CharLtte Obsetver says: J
"The Observer tales occasion to
say that since V. r. Daniels' indndion
into office the public has bete gradi ally
revising its eilimate of lis cap; city.
He is not the I gurehesd some had
supposed he would be. He is proving
aa officer of obiervatioa tad action.

life and a realisation of the fact that

WHY BE IN POLITICS?
If a man is too proud to beg and too
honest to steal, inquires the Chicago
News, what business has he in politics?
No business .at all if he seeks only to
profit directly in a pecuniary way out of
politics. But he has great business in
politics if he wants to do his duty as a
citizen to the end that all the people
may have the benefit of a government
made better as a result of his honest
and conscientious participation in the
activities which underlie it.
NEWSPAPERS HARD HIT.
The firebug appears to have a special
spite against the newspapers. Or if
not the firebugs, providence, the for
tuity of circumstances, or what not
that rules over such things. A week
or so ago and the press generally was
sympathizing with the Norfolk Ledger
Dispatch which sustained a costly fire.
Last week the Lynchburg News was
burned out; and Thursday the most
serious and regrettable of all so far
as North Carolina is concerned the
blaze which wiped out the Raleigh
News and Observer plant.
CONVINCED ALREADY.
Representative Huelings of Pennsyl
vania, Progressive, discussing the
Underwood tariff measure, says that if
President Wilson could convince the
people that the Democratic tariff views
were right the Democratic party would
remain in power for the next twenty
years. As far as that goes, the President
has already got the American people
convinced. If he and his successors
cm keep them convinced the Demo
cratic party with any sort of decent
management should be able to put a
forty-year lease over without any
difficulty . And that would be gruelling
on Mr. Huelllng, now, woulnd't it?
The President appointed Judge Wood
of South Carolina to succeed Judge
Nathan Goff. Thus another chance
to give a plum to Virginia is gone.
Norfolk Ledger Dispatch.
Still the Ledger-Dispatch hasn't
shown where the President owed Vir
ginia anything.
The Raleigh News and Observer
took long chances against the occurrence
of a fire in its place of business. The
Ijss as a result of Thursday's fire is
estimated as being $65,000 and the
insurance is only $28,000. Insurance
agents should find in the experience
of the Raleigh newspaper some fine
talking points for the boosting of their
business.
"If this social evil discussion goes
much further somebody will move to
cut vice out of Vice President", re
marks an exchange, which we infer,
thinks that the discussion is being
carried to extremes. But the discus
sion ought to go on. I he social evil
exists and it exists on a large scale.
It cannot be fought as it ought to be
fought, that is, all along the line, if
its existence and the extent of its ex
istencc are concealed.
For several days past reading matter
and cartoons have been appearing in
the Journal pointing out the dangers
of the house fly and the methods
of most effectually fighting the pest.
This matter is furnished by the City
Beautiful Club and is of course publish
ed without charge by the Journal,
which is only too glad to co-operate
in any undertaking looking to the bet
ter health of the community. We
urge our readers to look for these ar
ticles and read them carefully.
WORLD WIDE MISSIONS.
The cause of worldwide missions
receives a tremendous impetus in the
bequest of a million dollars by the late
William Chitney Borden of Chicago
and China. The mother and sister of
the dead man, who was himself a
missionary, received nothing, but pre
sumably they needed nothing as it
is more than likely that they had
become wealthy from the same source
as he. The gospel is being rapidly
carried to every creature. The leaders
of the great movement for the evange
lization of the world in a single genera
tion were regarded as dreamers when
seven years ago they announced their
program. But the people are thinking
differently of the undertaking now.

Yoj should help the kidneys with

Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for weak kidneys.
Recommended by thousands here's
test'mony from this vicinity.
Mrs. C. Holland, 206 E. Peyton Ave,,
Kinston, N. C, says: "I do not hesitate
in the least to recommend Dosn's
Kidney Pills for they have been very
beneficial to me. I suffered constantly
from backache aid I had pains in my
loins. Headaches and dizzy spells
bothered me and I rested very poorly
at night. One of my relatives who had
used Dean's Kidney Pills with good
results, told me about them and 1 got
a supply. This remedy improved my
condition in every way and I ferl
justified in publicly endorsing it."

Disease At Swansboro.
The remains of Mrs. Sophia French
who died at Swansboro on Friday
morning, passed through the city yes

for interment.
Mrs. French was a member of the
Unitarian demonimation and for some
time has been a teacher in a school a
Swansboro which is under the super'
vision of this denomination. She had
been ill for only a few. days with a
slight attack of heart disease and her

George W. Peck, of Milwaukee, who
won a red carnation on an election bet
25 years ago, has worn one every day

1 Every man mast cut his own widsom

1 Scutari must have landed with a
d ull, sickening thud," it had been fall-
"Certainly!
Buy a Johnston."
Why?
BECAUSE a Johnston Mower has gone through
the experimental stage and has become stand
ardized. Changes are made only when it is
absolutely certain the change will be an iUPve
mejit Even then the "improved" machine' tsTOied
out before it is put on the market generally.
When you buy a Johnston Mower you are as
sured of a perfect cutting, easy running, light of draft,
long wearing mower, the cost of repairs for which is
reduced to the minimum.
Mr. Farmer, don't buy a
Mower this season until
you see the Johnston.
