GOOD WORK.
Praise is due President Hix of th
Norfolk Southern for the prompt nes
and the effectiveness with which h
addressed himself to the task of settin
his railroad to rights following th
great storm of last week. W'ashingtoi
was the point on the line where th
storm appears to have wreaked it
fury. Thither President Hix hastene
and there he stayed until the big tas
of repairing the wrecked bridges and
trestles was well under" way. It
said that the bridge over
the Pamlico, which is about a mile i
length, will be sufficiently repaired for
trains to pass over it by Saturday night
For such a work to be done in such ;
short time will certainly be an achieve
ment in construction work to be proum
of.
AMERICANS KILL MEXICAN OF
FICER.
Americans at El Paso, Texas, on Sat
urflav killed a Mexican ofhcei
who rode across the internationa
bridge and opened fire upon them
The Mexican was drunk and the Amcr
icans fired on him because they fell
that otherwise he might kill one
both of them. How the Mexicans can
make any capita1 of this incident
seems to be something of a puzzl
but they are not a very reasonable lolk
and it is not at all certain that the)
will not seek to make the occurreni
more serious as affecting their country
relations with this than it really is
when sensibly viewed.
AN INTERESTING PUBLICATION
The August bulletin of the Ashcvilh
Health Department has reached u:
and despite the fact that it is a lit 1 1
late we find it interesting and stimula
ting as it always is. It contains much
to show that the movement for better
health conditions is widespread and
powerful. Greensboro's warfare on
the mosquito and the fly, Durham's
employment of a nurse for all of her
time to work among the poor, Guilfon
county's fine health work, a very capa
ble man being employed for all of his
time, a strong article by the California
Board of Health on "Health as thi
Chief Property of the Average Citizen'
and much other lively and suggestive
matter is lounu in the bulletin. .Aslu
ville's Board of Health sets an inspiring
example for every other city board o
health in the State.
WOMAN AND HER GARB.
Discussing learnedly the question of
what women dress for, an exchange
says:
"A Kansas City Judge, deciding thai
'there is nothing immoral in the slit
Ekirt.' says: 'The women of tod. y
have only one idea in view to dress
n a manner that appeals to men;' and lie
adds .'Well, hasn't it always been so?
"The Judge may be learned in l
law but he knows little about feminine
human nature. Woman's least cut
sideration about her clothes is whether
they will please a husband or brother or
even a lover. Women dress primarily
to excite the envy of their own sex
It is is true that when Jciebel 'paintet
her face and tired her head and looked
out at a window' it was to lure a man,
and certain women have always at
times dressed with that object. But
that is the ulterior motive. The direct
purpose, the all-compelling animus of
women's clothes, is to spite other
women. They treat as negligible man';
. opinion of what they wear, well know
ing that in his crass ignorance of the
dressmaker's art he often thinks women
dressed at their best when they have
'nothing on at all' a mere duck skirt
and a shirt-waist."
We have told this exchange once
before what women dress for, but it
appears not to have seen our remarks
on the subject. Women do not dress
to appeal to men, and to say that they
dresii to spite other women is libellous
of the sex. One reason that women
A . .
arcss is me same reason tnat causes
men to dress it is a requirement of
civilization and it likewise ministers
to comfort.
As to the question of why women
dress fashionably, the answer is easy
and it does not involve any disrespect
for the sex. They dress fashionably
because not to dress fashionably is
to suggest the absence of the means
with which to dress that way and it
is characteristic of women as of men
not to want to be thought poverty
stricken.
Another reason that they dress
fashionably is that thus they are less
conspicuous and all sensible people try
to avoid being conspicuous. Of course
the extremes of fashion m an that the
wearers are conspicuous ins ead of
otherwise but in forming a conclusion
to the whole tea, the few who affect
the extreme styles may be disregarded.
Another motive with women in thi
matter of their dress in this way oi
that is the universal desire, not pecu
liar to either sex, to be admired.
Clothes do not make the woman any
more than they do the man, they have
a very important function in the im
pression that one makes on his fellows
and women know it as well as men.
NEW BERN AND THE MORSE
STEAMBOAT LINES.
It is announced that Charles W.
Morse, the steamboat King, willshortly
stari a steamboat service between
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Norfolk and other points South. Per
haps he might ne persuaded to include
New Bern in the points South of Nor
folk that he has in mind. Since his
release from Federal prison at Atlanta
Morse seems to have been fully as
active as he ever was in his favorite
form of activity, that of developing
steamboat lines. He has an especial
genious in that direction. Certainly
his success has been remarkable for
a man who was let out of prison
before his time was up on the plea that
death might be the result of his being
kept confined a few months longer.
As one newspaper puts it Morse
activities now indicate that he is
quite restored to his normal health.

PREDICTED DISASTER NOT MA
MMbtti TERIALIZ1NG.
Disaster as a result of the new tariff
law is freely predicted, but dispatches
from New England towns where woolen
mills are located do not indicate
that the manufacturers of woolens
are anticipating any great slump in
business. From North Adams, Mass.,
comes the news that woolen mills are
to be run night and day for the next
few weeks. The Hoosac Worsted mill,
which all summer has been only partly
in operation, will be run on a larger
scale, say the news reports. The fact
is that the protected interests while
anxious to keep under the sheltering
wing of the government are going to
do the best they can under a reduced
tariff. It is not business to cut off
the nose to spite the face.
MRS. PANK HURST.
The immigration authorities would
probably like to keep out Mrs. Kmme
line Pankhurst, the English militant
suffragette leader who is on her way
to this country, on the ground that
her deeds in England have been such
as to make her guilty of moral turpi) ude,
which is a bar to landing on the shores
of the I'nitcd States, but they dare not.
For although they have hail many
difficulties to contend with they would
be at a loss in handling a hunger strike.
We predict that discretion will be
reagrded as the better part of valor
and that noobjections to Mrs. Pank
hurst s coming will be made on the
ground of moral turpitude.
As a result of the slaying of some
Japanese at Nanking by Chinese
roi ps there is talk of war between the
two countries. But both countries
have recently been set a notable ex
ample of forbearanje to the end that
the horrors of war might be averted
and that that example is a factor in
raiding both China and Japan to go
a litile slw in their present difficul
ties is certain.
GREED.
('reed of the coal operators and greed
of the miners was the underlying
cause of the great West Virginia coal
miners' st ike according to the view
of Bishop Donahue as given to the
Senate Investigating Committee Mon
day. Capital is not always exclusively
to blame in labor disturbances. It
usually does its part to bring about
conditions which result in strikes.
But labor is sometimes ill-advised,
particularly when it is of the immigrant
variety and therefore unaccustomed
to the American custom of securing
justice by legal means instead of by
violence. It is likely that the Bishop
was right in regard to the West Vir
ginia strike.
President Wilson's popularity is now
cinched, Cole Blease having assailed
him on the ground that his Mexican
policy is a cowardly oae.

A LEADER IN INDECENCY.
Things are certainly at a pretty pass
in New York City when the police have
to step in and forbid the presentation
of plays the scenes of which are laid
in disorderly houses. As a source of
indency the American metropolis has
undoubtedly attained supremacy.
And now that these indencent plast
have been put under the ban in New
York, it will be just like the theatrical
managers of that city to try to foist
them on the people of smaller cities
who will possibly find themselves
watching these shameful scenes before
they know it. Really recent develop
ments of the stage in New York are
quite enough to give a great deal
of comfort to those who hold that the
theatre is wholly bad in its influence.
The Charlotte Observer calls atten
tion to the fact that certain magazines
in New York also exploit the under
world anf it pertinently adds that in
the metropolis the stage and the press
are being perverted to amazingly
brazen purposes.

Macon, Ga., Sept. 9. Miss Viola
Johnston, the twenty-year-old daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. William McEwen
Johnston, millionaire leaders of Macon
society, will not marry William H.
Felton, jr., the twenty-three year old
son of the millionaire 'president of the
Macon Railway and Light Company
and former Superior Court Judge.
Formal announcement that tfie en
gagement of the young society leaders
had been broken was made by their
families, following the departure for
New York of young Felton on a
twelve months' tour of Europe.
The announcement has stirred
Macon society. According to the gos
sip, young Felton, just before leaving
Macon, confided to intimate friends
that Miss Johnston, who is spending
the summer at Lake Toxaway, there
met a rich New Yorker, who won her
affections and caused her to tell youngs
Felton that the did not love him
enough to marry him.
While Miss Johnston was at Toxaway
Felton made two trips there, the
second one last week when she broke
the news to him that their engage
ment must end He returned to
Macon and told hit father, who com
municated the word to the Johnston
family. The announcement was the
result of their conferences.
The engagement of Miss Johnston
and Felton was announced last April.
The wedding date had been fixed for
Oct. 23. The wedding plans Included
a six months' tour of Europe. Reser
vations for the trip had been made
When judge Felton learned that the
engagement was off, he advised his son
not to abandon the trip to Europe, but
to go at once, and stay twice as long
as he had planned.
