The Rocky Mount Record Published Every Thursday by ROCKY MOUNT PUBLISHING CO., C. W. FORLAW, Editor SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: (In Advance) Three Months. ----- i . .35 Six Months, - - - - - • - .60 One Year, ------- SI.OO Entered as Second Class Matter in Post Office at Rocky Mount, N. C. A SEVERE BLOW TO STATE'S RIGHTS. The supreme court of the United States decioed adversely to the states two cases touching the railroad rate laws in Minnesota and North Carolina, Monday, when Attorney General Young, of Minnesota, was denied relief from a circuit court order oi contempt for attempting to execute the state law after being restrained by injunc tion, and Agent Wood, of the Southern Railway, at A sheville, was discharged from penalty of a police justic's court for violating the North Carolina rate law, an injunction having been issued against the operation of the law prior to the time Wood was sentenced. The decisions settle finally the much dis cussed questions which occupied a large place in the minds of the people last year, and, while not conclusive, will ! have an important hearing on the question of states rights. Aside from the constitutional points involved in the issue, which are not clear to the mind of a layman, the de cision appears to be based on common seose, though it sets at nought the | time honored contention of the states rights people that the courts are coordi nate. They are coordinate in dignity only, according to the decision, and the | supreme power is lodged in the federal courts. The question directly at issue was as to the power of the federal court to enforce a restraining order against a state or representatives of the s'ate in the execution of its laws, and the decision means that it can, pending the investigation of the laws. ( It will have the effect to limit to a I great extent the state's exercise of the [right to regulate railway rates in its domain, by granting the corporations i gess to the federal courts. The power thus vested in the federal courts we conceive to be proper, where judiciously and wisely invoked, but fraught with much danger to the country should it be abused. It is, to say the least, a severe blow to state rights, and, we fear, but paves the way to further and greater en croachments on that -doctrine. The de cision is sure to be widely commented ! upon throughout the country, and, be f sides, will doubtless affect future legis | lation along the line of railway rate J regulation. In the bidding for the contract to do $50,000 worth of sidewalk paving in the city of New Bern last week sixty con tractors submitted bids which ranged in price from 83 cents to $1.25 per square yard, which is lower than this class of work has been done before. This is due in a large measure to scarcity of this kind of work owing to the financial depression which still pre vails to some extent over the entire country. The point we want to make is this: That it would be doubly fortu nate for this city if the bonds for im provements voted last year could be sold and the work started rignt away. * We can see no sinister purpose hidden under the very graceful and courteous invitation from the Japanese govern ment to our Pacific fleet to visit the waters of the flowery kingdom and are disposed to give the mikado credit for genuine cordiality in doing the thing Besides, should harm befall our battle ships while there, from treachery, Japan would be outlawed by the powers and her destruction would be sure and swift. Occupying the position that we do a comfortable seat on the fence—we can see some things, probably, that Mr. Kitchin cannot, and one of them is that he will have a hard time to save him self from his fool friends if he doesn't stop their fool talk. Judging by what has happened recently in their conventions in the gout'i Roosevelt and his "policies" woul' stand a poor show if the niggers had their way. In answer to statements sent out to those of our subscribers whose labels show them to be more than a year in arrears we have received a number of replies, while others, only a few, com paratively, have not answered at all, and these we take it, do not want the paper continued. They shall be accom modated Some to whom we mailed statements showed us that we were in error, and these we have properly credited, besides, we ask their pardon, and beg to assure them that the error was not of the writer's making. This will be the last issue of the paper some of our readers will get, and this we re gret, but on April 1 we will comply with the law by dropping those from the list who are behind more than a year. This week we are mailing statements to sub scribers in the city of Rocky Mount, and if any receiving one find it incor- rect and will notify us we will gladly credit the subscription properly. Col. Fairbrother, who is a man of unusually good judgment and who has the courage to express his opinions, says the chances are "decidedly against Kitchin." So we hope and believe.— Enfield Progress. With the closing remark we have no quarrel, not being Mr. Kitchin's ac credited champion, but with that part about Col. Fairbrother. He is brilliant, a genius and his writings are delight fully inconoclastic; but as for his having good judgment! Haven't you made a mistake, neighbor? It may be frankly conceded that the conservative element of both the Dem ocratic and Republican parties had their inning in the conventions held last week; but be it remembered that New York and Rhode Island have never been considered good grazing ground for the progressives, who are striving against special privileges, the very thing those states and others in the east have fat tened on. , State Treasurer B. R. Lacy, of whom it was said some time ago that he would not stand for reelection this ye ar, says that he is a candidate for the nom ination again. Mr. Lacy can point with pride to his administration of the af fairs of this important office. Free to Our Readers!

An infernal machine with powder and shot enough to blow him into atoms when he opened it was mailed to Mr. Caesar Cone at Greensboro Friday night, and a discharged employe of the Cone mills was arrested charged with the crime.

STOMACH CENTER OF HUMAN LIFE-ALL ELSE SECONDARY The immense success which has fol lowed L. T. Cooper during the past year with his new preparation has ex ceeded anything of the kind ever be fore witnessed in most of the leading cities where the young man has intro duced the medicine. Cooper has a novel theory. He believes that the hu man stomach is directly responsible for most disease. To quote his own words from an interview upon his ar rival in an eastern city: "The average man or woman cannot be sick if the stomach is working properly. To be sure, thereiare diseases of a virulent nature, such as cancer, tuberculosis, diabetes, etc., which are organic, and are not traceable to the stomach, but even fevers can, In nine cases out of ten, be traced to something taken into the stomach. All of this half-sick, nervous exhaustion that 4s now so common, is caused by the stomachic conditions, and it is because my rem? edy will and does regulate the stom ach that I am meeting with such suc cess.

Mr. A. C. Brock, chef of the Brock Restaurant, Market District, Boston, Mass., who is a staunch believer in Mr. Cooper's theory and medicine, has this to say: "I had chronic indigestion for over three years. I suffered terribly, and lost about thirty pounds. I was a physical wreck when I started this Cooper medicine, a month or so ago. Today I am as well as I ever was in my life. I am no longer Nervous, my food does not distress me in the least, and I have a splendid appetite. lam gaining flesh very rapidly—in fact, at the rate of a pound a day.
