6 Besult of The Drink Habit 5
Ring ! Ring ! Ting-a-ling ! Zip ! Zip ! Zip !
Such was the telephone call in The Commonwealth office on the 7th
day of April, 1903.
Through the receiver came the distinct "Hello 1" from Halifax. "Well !"
was the answer in The Commonwealth office. "Vance Spivey committed
suicide in the jail last night at 8 o'clock," came the announcement from
Halifax.
And who was Vance Spivey? And why was he in Jail at Halifax?
Then a court trial was recalled. Some months before a sallow-faced,
wrinkled, one-armed wretch, a convict from the State farm near Tillery,
was conducted into the court room at Halifax and was presented to the
court and the jury under indictment for the murder of a fellow-convict.
He was tried by due process of law and was convicted of the murder of
the fellow-convict andVwas sentenced to be hanged on a certain day. His
attorneys, who were assigned him by the court, appealed the case to the
Supreme court and thus secured a lease of life for their client. When the -case
was heard in the Supreme court, the action of the lower court was af
firmed and Vance Spivey was again under sentence of death for the mur
der of his fellow-convict.
Governor Aycock set the day for the poor felon's execution, and in the
darkening, deepening shadow of death the wretch awaited in his lonely cell
the coming of the day when he should pay the penalty of his rash deed
with his own life. He was already serving a life sentence for killing his
uncle ; and the thickening shadows of the guilt of his double tragedy press
ed upon him so heavily that he became desperate, and with the falling ot
the shades of night before the day appointed for his execution he said in
his soul he cop Id bear it no longer. So as the twilight of night crept over
the earth Vance Spivey leaped forth into his own dark night of death at
one stroke with his own hand upon his own person. The jugular vein was
severed and his guilty life gurgled itself away as his heart's blood stood in
a pool about his prostrate form.
Vance Spivey was dead, and perhaps he who was to have been his execu
tioner on the morrow felt relieved. He was buried In the potter's field and
was soon forgotten, save, perhaps, by those who wiped away the blood that
stained the floor of his cell in the jail.
But back of it all there was a tale ofwoe and a black trail of iniquity for
which some one else besides Vance Spivey was partially responsible. In
the court room while being tried for bis life for killing his fellow-convict,
the prosecuting attorney asked, "Why were you in the penitentiary?" .He
answered, "I was put there for killing my uncle." "How came you to kill
your uncle?" asked the solicitor. The wretch answered, "Him and me had
been drinking and I struck him with a rail and killed him."
There it was ! A man already possessed of a rageful temper fired by the
"beverage of hell," like some mad beast, fell upon his own kinsman and
struck him dead. " .
Was Vance Spiyey alone responsible for that rash act? Had he been,
altogether sober he would have been, but who can .answer before God and
say that the powers which made it possible for that dangerous man to se
cure the intoxicant with which to enrage an already dangerous temper,
were not partially responsible?
It was not brought out in Vance Spivey's case when or under what cir
cumstances he learned to drinn and the habit fastened itself upon him.
Almost without doubt, however, it may be said that he became addicted
to drink in the open saloon.
On the 15th day ot September the voters of Scotland Neck will decide
whether the open saloon shall continue in the town or whether the tempta
tion to drink shall be removed by closing the saloons.
II on the 15th of September the majority of the voters in Scotland Neck
shall cast their votes to continue open saloons in Scotland Neck, the open
saloon will continue and boys and young men will continue to learn to
drink in them, and those upon whom the habit is already fastened
will continue,to drink at them also.
Now, thenfif by vote of the people the saloons are kept open and some
man becomes intoxicated with liquor sold In a Scotland Neck saloon, and,
like Vance Spivey, by reason ol his intoxication slays his .uncle or some
one else, will not every man who votes for the. saloons be proportionately
responsible for the deed?
Suppose that the yote for and against the saloons shall be a tie until juBt
before sunset and the last ballot cast shall be in favor of the saloons, ho w
can the man who casts that one deciding vote ever tree himself from the
conviction that he is personally responsible for every evil deed that comes
directly from the sale of liquor in Scotland Neck under the election at
which his vote decided the question?
We charge that if Mr. A. casts the deciding vote in favor of saloons in
Scotland Neck, and through the influence of liquor sold in any saloon in
tnTs town under the power of that election there shall be a murder, Mr. A.
x.. t. rdnnonsible for it.

Scarcity of Farm Labor.
Kinston Free Press.
Some of our correspondents ; com
plain ot the scarcity of labor and seem
to be in a dilemma as to what to do
about it. There is no doubt but that
to-day no labor of any kind is a drug
in the market. To-day ten jobs are
looking for a really competent man.
while a short time ago ten men were
looking for a job. This is the case all
around, not only on the- farm, but in
the building trades and in the store.
But the question that confronts the
farmer is what he is to do about his
farm. He has a large number of acres
of productive land. It ' is ready for
cultiyation and has been made to
yield in abundance. But this very
fact has tended to lead the farmer
astray, in the light of present condi
tions. The only practicable thing for the
farmer to do now is to limit the num
ber of acres he places under cultiva
tion, and make those cultivated do
their full duty.
Prepare well for each crop. Have
the land in faultless condition and
make a liberal use of fertilizers of one
kind or another and undertake to cul
tivate no more than can reasonably be
taken care of by the force that in all
probability will be at command during
the season. Every crop should be
planned from start to finish before it
is begun.
Right along this line another
thought presents itself and that is this :
This countryls suffering from a lack
of an intelligent diversity of crops. '
Our people must learn, if they would
be prosperous, to live at home, and
board at the same place.
In this heaven-favored land of East
ern Carolina it is plainly foolish for
our farmers to risk their all on one or
two single lined of production, such as
cotton or tobacco. No up-to-date
farmer should think of resting until he
has produced enough to carry him
through the year without a cent ot ex
pense to his "money crops."
When a farmer stakes his all on a
t&baScu Crop .-he fieeefcsarlly puts him'
self at the mercy of the American To
bacco Company that now dominates
the market. If the A. T. Co. does not
want the farmers' tobacco the latter is
then left flat with a limited supply of
money from his "money crops," and
his year's supplies to buy such sup
plies as could be raised on his farm.
There are too many "money crops"
in this favored - section for the farmer
to rest on one or two alone. There
are too many demands for farm pro
duce for the farmer to be content to
bay these necessities and that too
from a really less favored section of
the Union.
Everybody Znws,
Selected.
Everybody knows that there is and
probably always will be sickness, pain,
suffering and sorrow in this world, and
a multitude of things which cause un
happiness, and which we would gladly
have otherwise.
Everybody also knows that if every
body would try to make the world
happier it could be made vastly hap
pier than it Is.
Ancrhow many good things we have
to be thankful for the flowers, the
fruits, the harvest, the reasons, day
and night, the sun, moon and stars,
the power to enjoy all the beauties of
nature and art with the eye, all the
sweet harmonies ot music with the ear,
the odors of flowers with the nostrils,
the foods that give us health and
strength, the blessed sleep that comes
without price to the poorest.
How a single mistake in the con
struction of one of the thousand parts
that compose our bodies would torture
us ! How a single mistake in the
great plan of the universe would in
volve our planet in ruin ! How im
portant each-to the whole! It is as
serted bv scientists that if only the
small birds on this earth were destroy
( ed, all vegetation, because of the enor
Imous increase of insects, would be
A nn U.. U.m atraro tinman KaItiC
and every animal would perish.
It is far . beyond bur reach to com
prehend the power that governs all
these things, but it is not beyond our
reach to get some glimpses of the wis
dom and goodness : manifested in what
some call the laws of nature, and others
the laws of God.

The Vine of the Spout.
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
Deep, in the heart of the city,
She washes jmd irons all day ;
Her tired old hands are shaky and thin,
And her hair, once yellow, is gray.
She stands near a window to labor,
. And every few moments looks "out
And murmurs, "You're mine." to the
small, sickly vine
That's climbing the old water spout
She waters it well in the twilightf
- And tenderly touches the leaves
As they nod in the zephyrs that come
times get lost
So far from the grass' and the trees.
She knows every tendril it carries,
Each bud is a care, without doubt.
For she loves with a love that Is sent
from above
That vine on the old water spout.
She is wrnikled and ragged and tired
Her children "have left her, I know7"
To fight the battle of life once again
She fought it for them long ago.
Friendless, alone, uncberisbed,
Her mother-love will not die out,
So she croons an old tune, all the af
ternoon, To the vine on the old water spout.
It may be the world doesn't need her,
It may be the world doesn't care
For the old, lonely soul whose eyes re
so dim,
Whose voice is thin as her hair.
It may be the world has forgotten
And yet I haven't a doubt.
God planted that seedlor He eaw
there was need,
For the vine on the water spout.
Negro Bace Secadenoe.
Charlotte Observer.
The statistician of the New York
Times has been probing into the
twelfth census and concludes that the
exhibit of the compilation poasasses a
melancholy interest tor those who in
dulge in the hope of a great future for
the negro in this country. He findb
that in fifty cities in all sections of the
country the death rate among the
negroes was greater than the birth
rate. For example, in Boston, daring
the census year, there were 13,991
births and 11,227 deaths of white per
sons, the excess of births being 2,714 ;
while among the negroes the births!
numbered 240 and the deaths 327 a
death excess of 87. Greater New York
shows that the births of whites num
bered 96,164, and the deaths 79,229 a
birth excess ot 15,935. The births ol
negroes were 1,430 and the deaths 1,9 0
the deaths exceeding the births 540.
As to Buffalo, Chicago and St. Louis a
like comparison of birth and death
rates was made, with similar results
New Orleans, which was expected to
make a better exhibit for the negro,
shows an excess of births over deaths
among the whites, the report for the
negroes being births, 1,735; deaths,
310, or a death excess of 1,575.
In' the country at large, including
the cities, the increase for whites be
tween 1880 and 1890 was 24 9 per
cent., and for blacks 13.5 per cent.
The white Increase between 1890 and
1900 was 20.7 per cent., and the in
crease of blacks 18 per cent. Theee
figures, however, are accompanied by
explanations that make the reported
increase of 13 5 per cent, in the eleventh
census too small and the gain reported
in the following eensus of 18 per cent.
consequently too large.
A contemporary asks the solution of
this tendency of so "virile a race as the
negro to extinction" this "contrast
with the evident conditions during
slavery." To our mind, it is piain.
Daring slavery the "down-troden race1
was, as a rule, tree from worry, had a
plenty of wholesome food, was kept
properly clad, and was made to take
nnre of itself and its progeny. No one
in the South would re-establish the in
stitution of slavery, but such figures s
The Times' statistician produces, and
his remark that "it is evident that one
of the lessons the black race must learn
in how to keeD itself on earth, are
amonfi the many proofs that that in
stitution was not so iniquitous as it has
been painted. .

Threatening the President.
By Publishers' Press.
Oyster Bay. A man supposed to be
demented made an attempt last night
to reach President Roosevelt and wac
arrested by the secret service treo. On
his person was found a 32-calibre revol
ver and it is believed that be intended
assassinating the President.
The secret service men detailed as
guard in front of the house who was
standing in the -roadway about 10
o'clock last night when an unknown
man drove up in a carriage. He was
held up a hundred feet from the bouse
and announced tbat'he had an engage
ment to meet the President. He gave
bis name as Frank Weilbronner and
said he lived iu Syosset, a small town
seven miles from Oyster Bay. He
stated that the President bad tele
graphed him to come to Sagsmore Hill
immediately. The guard examined
hi list and found nosncb man among
those etcted by the President. He
f)M Weilbronner this "d ordered
him to drive on. The latter objected
but finally left after being threatened
with rrest. He returned a half-hour
later and aj. sin insisted that the Presi
dent was yery anxious to Fee him on a
matter of important business. He was
again refused entrance and again de
parted apparently much chagrined at
his failure to see the President. Three-
quarters of an hour later he ap
peared again and this time , the secret
service guardjdecided to cheek him up
as a matter of precaution. As Weil
bronner is about six feet tall and yery
peculiarly built, the guard called an
other man and the two placed him un-
rit.r arrest. He was searched on the
xpotand a 34-calibre revolver, ever
chamber loaded, sas found In his pock
et. He is about 28 yenis old and
