Tfce Rallroal Moiile. From The
Washington IVtst the. following
very sensihlc erlitorial, in regard
to the railroad muddlo in this
State, is taken. This is the Ijest
exposition of the state of a flTairs
between the railroads and the
State (or the jeople) that we have
seen, and makes interesting read
ing:
The question of 2-cent fares is
a business proiMtsilion. If it is
confiscatory in its operation, a law
fixing that rate w ill not stand am
should not stand. Whether it lie
confiscatory is a question of fact
that is matter of evidence to be
determined in u court of justice.
The man who invests his monev
in the soil and Ialiors in the culti
vation of a crop is no lietter citi
zen than the man who invests his
money in railroad securities and
devotes his labor to the oeration
of a railroad protierty. The gov
ernment. State or national, has no
more w arrant to confiscate the pro-
tits of the one than it has to con
liscate the earnings of the other.
Agricultural products in this
country are chiefly valuable be
cause there are railroads to carry
them to markets. The farmer is
as much interested in the prosier
ity of the road as the road is in
terested in the nrosiierity of the
farmer. They are mutually de
endent, and w hat is a hardship on
either is harmful to the other.

Ltlie wish is father to the thought,
and that the retirement of these
trreat justices would be welcomed
by Mr. Roosevelt as an opportu
nity to appoint to the Supreme
Court three more justices who
share his extremely Federal istic
views and upon whom he could
depend in his very definite pro
gram of concentration of power?
In connection with the various
suits brought by the Government
in the Federal courts, the Ntw
York World has been making an
investigation of the judiciary of
the Federal District and Circuit
Courts. It finds that moe than
half of the District judges in the
entire United States are appoint
ees of President Roosevelt, and
that he has appointed more, than
40 per cent of the Circuit judges.
Therefore, if even one-tenth of
the judges appointed by previous
Presidents share the Federalistic
views of Mr. Roosevelt, it would
seem that the i-cxleral judiciary in
every branch, ecept the Supreme
Court, is made up of judges who
to a great extent are inlluenced
by Mr. Roosevelt.
The World futher points out to
the iossibilities of the future:

Iters, he has the approval of Pres
ident Roosevelt. Hear what the
Sun has to say:
Some months ago, in 'connection
with the suggestion of the Pres
ident ami Secretary Root, that the
Federal owcr might U' greatly
extended through judicial inter
pretation of the Constitution The
Sun called attention to the fact
that Mr. Roosevelt hail already
apioiutcd one-third of the mem
liers of the Supreme Court. It
was (tointcdout thatinthe campaign
of IS'JC, the mere suggestion by
Mr. Hryan that in time to come
there might be a Supreme Court
that would decide that an income
tax was constitutional, called
forth a storm of remonstrance,
and this was declared to be almost
a proiKisal to "pack' the highest
judicial tribunal in the land.
Mr. Roosevelt has frankly as
serted his hope that the Supreme
Court will through constructions
put vastly increased power into
the hands af the Federal Govern
ment. Mr. Root set forth this
hope even more lldly, and in his
Harrisburg and IndianaK)lis
sieechcs the President pointed
out to some extent the lines along
which he hoped for some of the
Federal ixjwcr.
In the present year very dis
junct pressure has been brought to
liear uion Chief Justice r ulier to
induce him to retire, it has also
been rejeatetlly rumored that the
retirement of Justice Hrewcr and
Justice Harlan is looked for. All

If Theodore Roosevelt should lie elec
ted to succeed himself for the term
beginning on March 4, 1901). he would
in all probability have the apiiointment
of eight of the nine judges of the Hu
preme Court, 20 of the 29 Circuit judges,
and .10-odd. of the SO district judges.
Such a pretKMulerauc of men apiioint

making of a condition hitherto unknown

"From a iole 150 feet high in the
grounds of the State penitentiary
there today floats for the first
time the North Carolina State Hag,
a new and brilliant piece of bun
ting S by 10 feet. This is in com
pliance with the law passed last
winter." )ur impression is that
the law requires the State flag to
lie displayed from every county
court house and from the school
houses. If so the penitentiary
takes lirst honor in manifesting
obedience to the law. Charlotte
Chronicle.
Not so, Ixdoved. Anson county
has had a Hag for some time, but
it is stretched on th wall of the
courtroom in the rear of the judge's
stand. When it. comes to pat
riotism, Anson nearly always
stands at the head.
Bksidrs a numler of tine buikl
ings in Charlotte, Wilmington has
a few handsome buildings made of
Anson county brownstone. These
(piari ies are not exhausted by any
means, ami they are worked now
on a very small scale. We want
to see them yield up their treasures
in greater quantities. They are
within a very short distance of
the Seaboard tracks just alxMit
where anyone would locate them
and there is no reason why they
should not lie worked with profit.
The folio .vimr appreciation of this
beautiful stone is taken from the
Charlotte Chronicle:
There is more brownstone in Anson
county than in any other county in tie'
United States. Charlotte'a city hall and
vonw of Charlotte's finest residences are
"built of it. But that is not all. Si
abnndaut is this fine building stone that
all the culverts along the old Carolina
Central division of the Seaboard ar.
built of it. fcot only that, but mile-
and miles of Seaboard retaining walls
are built of the finest quality of brown
etone. Some day the stone-quarry men
will get to work right in Anson and
bring this mont valuable of building
stone into public appreciation.

Peebles' Remarks.
When Thk Ansoxiak went to
press Inst Tuesday afternoon, Zeke
Ixwis :dibi that he had made on
the stand was lieing corroborated
by n numlier of witnesses. The
following rojiort of Wednesday's
proceedings, is taken from the
Charlotte Observer:
At the resumption of the trial
of Zeke I w is," the State recalled
John A. Iloggan to the stind. lie
stated tliTit the conversation he had
with .witnesses Monday morning,
and to which they testified yester
day, related to a man whom he
knew as Jim Iewis, alias (iriggs,
and that he did not say, "There
roes our friend Zeke Lewis,"
whin a buggy passed them in
Wadeslniro. He said he could not
e mistakvn ahout recognizing
Zeke Ijewis at the jail, as he knew
Zeke and his father and family well
He had no doubt in the world as to
tli identity of Zeke Lews as one
of the men who took Johnson out
of the jail. "I talked U him and
called him by his name. He had
hold of me, and I apiealed to him
on the inside of the jail also."
The witness was put through a
hot cross-examination by defense,
both in relation to his law suits
and some public statements he is
said to have made since this trial
began about the witnesses who tes
tified against his character, but his
usual answer was, "J don't remem
Ihm" He admitted having been
in jail once for contempt of court.
That Anonymous. But Albeit Interesting, Let
ter in Court.
The most interesting proceeding
of the day was the introduction of
an anonymous letter received by
Hoggan on May 20, 190(i, threat
ening him with vengeance if he re
vealed the names of any of those
who broke into the jail. Thcde-i
fense hotly objected to the admis
sion of the letter, but the court
admitted it for the jm y to consider,
as bearing on the conduct and evi
dence of -Sheriff Rotriran, and .it
was read to the jury and put in
evidence.
The text of the letter follows:
' "Mr. Hoggan: We, the crowd
who done the noble deed Sunday
night, want to tell you that we
have no hard feelings toward you,
1 1 i 1 1 i. ' j;

treated you as wc diH if your son
had not shot at us. Nw,,all we

"There is a few little 2xV law
yers up there who think theyVan

of the past here.
J. V. Johnson's lawyers are as
much to blame for the deed as any
IkxIv else. Vou know yourself
that they resorted to all kinds ot
low-down, dirtv tricks for him
during his trial.
"We counted our crowd and
there were .'542 men. Now, you
can give a few trouble, but you
will be repaid for all you do.
"Now, you need not think it was
just (Juin's folks that done it, for
it was not. Keep your lips sealed

to take a powerless defenceless
prisoner out of jail and hang hirai
but, however great, it would be a
greater crime on your part if you
permitted that to warp your
judgment and force you to find a
verdict against the defendant, if
the evidence does notsatify you of
his guilt." I
Judge Peebles called the jury's
attention to the fact that though
perpetrators of the deed were not
guilty of the offenses, the State;
had elected not to try the defend
ant on the charge of murder, but,
on two minor counts of conspiracy!
and of breaking into jail for the
purpose of takinir Johnson out
and lynching him and that when
Ihe State elected to prosecute him
for these minor offenses it freed
him from the charge of murder.;
He never can be tried airain on
the charge of murder." '
The case was given to the jurv;
at about 4 o'clock ami His Honor
retired to sec a ball game. At
6.30 p. m. the courthouse liell ran;
and the jury announced that their
verdict was that Zeke Lewis was
not guilty of the charges.
Judge Peebles then requested
the jurors to take their seats and
said as there were only two more
days of this special term, the reg
ular term of Superior Court !c-
ginning next Monday, there would
not be time to try another case.
nut," he continued, if we ha!
the time I would' not try anothet
one of these cases. There is so
much feeling here in favor of the
defendants that the trial of any
more cases now would be a farce.
I suggest to the solicitor that he
move for a removal to some other
county. Lynching will never
cease in North Carolina until there
is a strong, healthy sentiment
against it. There is no doubt that
this lynching was committed arid
we have 23 men indicted here for
the crime, yet a great many well-
known citizens of Anson county

Thursday's Proceedings Lewis Not
Guilty.
lloth sides having concluded
thier arguments at noon Thurs
day, Judge Peebles proceeded to
deliver his charge which consum
ed an hour and thirty minutes.
The following accont is taken
from the Charlotte Observer:
"It is in the evidence that the de
fendant has a wife and children
and an appeal was made in their
behalf. Vou must not take that
into consideration. Men who
have wives : and children cannot
violate law any more than those
who have not. Possessions of
that sort ought to make a man
law abiding. A man should con
sider what effect his deed would
have upon his wife and children.
It ought to make him more care
ful. Hut whether that be so or
not, you have no right to take it
into consideration."
The judge said that the crime
committed at Anson county court
house May 28, 1906, was a terrible
one and that if such crimes were
not checked and punished by hon
est, conscientious jurors the frame
work of civil government would
soon be destroyed.
"If the State, when it takes a
prisoner and puts him in jail, is
not able to protect him while he
is there until the jury of his
equals have declared him guilty or
not guilty, the State could pot
