_ I* haa boon the pro ad boast of
Croot Britain for May decades that
bar navy ruled Us* war**. Sin*, the
■ton* world war began vary Bttlc boo
M*u hoard of this rroot navy, and
th* qtodisa baa freqweatty boon
■•had, "What la th* Britioh Nary do
ing?” “ h i statement made by
Uoyd Georg* to tho Boom of Com
mons recently, this question is aatfa
fhctorily answered. aa follows: Dur
tag tho Menu of th^war this navy
baa one Mod thirteen mlUoa men to
croea and rocroaa th* sees, with tho
teas of only three thousand. five hun
drad man. It hao she safeguarded
th* traaaportation of tvrenty-Bv* raO
Bon ton* of gsploaivoa. and fifty-one
million tout of coaL That alone is
surely u wonderful foot ef naval sfl
elaacy. But this la not a*, for while
protecting the shipping interests of
th* Allice. and making It pomibls for
them to prooeeot* tho war, it has
kept th* sons closed to th* enemy
navies and rendered their battle-ship*
useless and impotent The British
Premier does not overstate the case
in saying that the British Navy Is
“th* anchor of the Allied cause."
Is justice always meted out by th*
courts ef our country? Does the ob
-curv Individual fare aa wall at th*
“prominent eitiicn"? Con we reason
ably aspect the citisaaahip of our
country to respect our low* if dis
crimination Is winked at in so-called
courts of Justice? Is it possible fo
a people to continue to snjoy the
special favor end blessings of th*
great Ruler of th* universe when th*
legal tribunals discriminate against
on* class and In favor ef another?
The** questions are suggested by the
outcome of some cases that have boon
discussed In the papers recently. A
good character ibouM be considered
by say legal tribunal as a valuable
asset, bat more prominence, In many
eases enjoyed because of more worthy
ancsotoim. should afford no protection
trom simple justice. Neither do sre
believe that tha color of one’s akin
should pines turn at any disadvantage
before a court of justice. Society
haa an unquestioned right to fix and
•store* notations for social Ufa, but
■II citizens should stand upon absolute
equality before the laws of our coun
try.
It may be that the taws arc aa well
enforced today as they have ever
been, but Is it not a fact that we
ban a right to expect BETTER en
forcement of laws than ever before 7
We enjoy better conditions today than
has ever been enjoyed in our country
before. We have man light than
•ur fathers enjoyed, and are bettor
equipped for Hvee of intelligent ser
vlet to Ood and humanity than they
were, and certainly it is perfectly
reasonable to look- for greeter efl
eleaey ia every walk of Ufa.

Monday night of this week a bur

Plummer waa away from homo, but

was sleeping in an adjoining room to
tha one occupied by Mm. Plummer
and the two older children. Tbs baby
bad bean fretful all the first part of

clock she became quiet and all slept
wall until about three o’clock, wbca
Mm. Plummer board some one In her
kitchen. Thinking k waa her husband
•he called his name, at which tha bur
glar became alarmed and lamped out
through a window. The alarm was
given, and tha police force went to
wont on the case at once. Prom that
time on to about nine o'clock tha next

which little Lacy was sleeping. Mrs.
Plummer wondering that her baby did
not awake, wont into the room to find
that she had boon strangled to dsatb
during tha night by the brut* who had
I tiered the House. It la supposed That
the child began to fret and to shield
himself from detection tha bruts
checked her to death. A reward of
six hundred dollar* was vary prompt
ly offered for hi* arrest, and every
effort wilt bo made to bring him to
‘uMier a* speedily iu possible.

. While the work k being done in

of the Church, workmen are engaged
in the basement installing the beat

At the isms time the walks In front

rights to exercise equal franchise with

Some months ago former Preel
dest became contributing editor of
the Kansas City Star, and his contri
buttons to that paper have received
wide attention throughout the coun
try. On tbo first of thk month form
er President W.*H. Taft became con
tributing editor if the Philadelphia
Public Ledger, and this fact ha* been
heralded abroad as a great event
These two great men have been highly
honored by oar country, and unques
tionably they both ardently love their
country, bat unfortunately they do
not levs each other os great and good
men should. At ono time they were
the best of friends, and it is n well
known fact that Mr. Roosevelt made
Mr. Taft President, and equally well
known tkat be unmade him at the
close of hk term. Th* two men are
th* very antipode* of each other In

Tho capture ot tho ancient city of
Beersheba by tbs British forcei has
ot attracted any great attention from
the public, but it was an important
event nevertheless. I believe this city
is first mentioned in the 91st chanter
of Gensia aa the place where Abra
ham dug a well for his flocks sad
herds It is located about twenty
miles south of Habron In the Hot}
Land of ancient Palestine The cn
ward drive of the British forces it
toward the once sacred city of Jeru
salem, and it is confidently ospooled
that within a faw months that city
will be wrested from the cruel Tu.ks.
aad once more enjoy the blessed liber
ties that have co long been denied

wrested from the Turks, and Ira in
formed into a Christian State, it will
go far toward compensating for the
frightful cost of such an enterprise.

As is known to the readers of
th* Dispatch a campaign is now on
for thirty-five million dollars needed
for the work of the T. M. C. A.
connected with the American soldiers
at bom* and abroad. The amount
pportionsd to North Carolina is three
hundred thousand dollars. The State
has been divided into Districts, and
amounts apportioned to the different
districts. Harnett is in a district com
posed of Robeson, Hoke, Cumberland
and Harriett, and to tills dim let hut
been apportioned ten thousand dol
lars. For such a cause it ought to
bo aa easy matter for the** four
rich count!** to raise thb amount,
and wt believe it will ba.
A preliminary meeting waa held
in the First Baptist Church Wedner
dsy night of this weak, and addretaet
were delivered by Rev. J. 8. Snyder
and Mr. C. 0. Rose of Fayetteville,
Mr. J. C Clifford and Rov J A ElHs

sided at the meeting, and also mads a
talk In the interest of the work in

Another meeting will be held In
the First Baptist Church next Sun
day night, beginning at 7 o’clock. Rep
resentatives of the enterprise from
Charlotte win be present at this mast
ing, and deliver addresses setting
forth the importance of this work.
An organ (ration will be effected, end
the work will be systematically car

The canvass for funds will not be
fin until the llth of tho month, but
much preliminary work must be done
before that date, *f it is tv succeed
