that no good reason can be seen why the

The Prince OF Wales. with his son
Prince Albert Victor. and small party
of friends. spent the afternoon IN visiting
some nf the slums Of the city, entering
some Of the worst dwellings. The Prince
freely denounced their broken floors and
roofs and sanitary wants, and said that
he hoped that such dwellings would soon
be swept from the face Of the earth, at the
same time expressing his sympathy win
the occupants. MObs of uncouth and
wild looking men, women and children
continually surrounded the Prince, who
received them smilngly and was greeted
in return with loud cheers. He shook
hands heartily with many OF those near
est him, and old people invoked blessings
Jlpon the heads Of the Prince and Prmcess
of Wales and Queen Victoria.
FEARS OF RIOT.
The police notified tradesmen to refrain
from illuminating their shops tonight, as
lit was anticipated that attempts would
be made at serious riOting, and great
damage would be done in case buildings
were lighted up.
The levee given to-day at Dublin Castle
by the Prince and Princess OF Wales was
farger than any held in Ireland since the
visit OF Queen Victoria in 1919.
The leVee at the castle this afternoon
was on behalf OF the Queen, and in the
evening the Princess held a drawing
.FoOm at the castle. Three thousand gen
tleInen and 300 ladies were presented.
The presentations lasted until midnight.
The. streets in the vicinity of Dublin
Castle were blocked this evening by the
carriages Of guests invited to the draw

population of the city was out viewing
The sights. Perfect order was maintained.

How South Carolina Raises the Salaries

How South Carolina Raises the Salaries
of Her Railroad Commissioner.
COLUMBIA, S. c., April 9.-The railroad
law Of South Carolina provides that the
salaries of the Railroad Commissioners
shall be paid by the railroads, according
to their gross incomes. The Columbia
and Greenyille Railroad Company was
assessed under the law, $l.o65, which
amount was paid into the Treasury of
Richiand county, under protest. The rail-
road company then instituted suit torecoy-
er the amount, and the case was heard
in the Court of Common Pleas yesterday.
The plaintiff held that the assess mant
was a tax, and a double and unequal one,
and, therefore, unconstitutional. The
State maintained that IL was in the
nature of license, and, therefore, legal.
Judge Witherspoon charged the jury that
the assessment was a tax, and not a
license, and that il was inoQuitahle and
unconstitutional, and instructed them TO
md for the plaintiff, which they did. The
state will appeal to the Supreme Court.

ministration with regard to appoint
ments to place in the Southern States
thst are now held by colored Repub-
icans will be not to substitute white
men for colored men, but to replace
incompetent OF dishonest colored Re
publicans by colored Democrats who
are worthy and capable. In accord
ance with this policy, the Postmaster
General has appointed ex-Representa-
ttyo Tom Hamilton of Beaufort, S. c.

An Hns6fprisfng Example thG Basf~
Ness Hen OF Winston Might Follow.
From tie Durham Pant
Col. w. f. Blackwell was out for q
short time last week discussing the
street railway question In less time
than it takes us to pen this article and
have 1t put in type he secured a SUBJ
sefiption Of $4,000. He IS confident
that an amount entirely sufficient will
be subscribed and before many months
the street ears will be traversing from
one end of Durham to the other. It
is proposed to run the main track
from Col. BIackweIPs park west of
town to- the cotton factory ON the east.
Tracks viii also be through the busi-
ness part OF town.
The secret Of Darham's great sue
cess IS that her citizens are never idle.
We have large capitalists. They did
not inherit their fortunes either but
made them by pluck, vim, enterprise
and business tact. And now that they
have made fortunes they are not cQfi-
tent to pass their time In leisure, but
prefer life of activity.
The continued rapid growth of Dur
ham is wonderful to behold. It is an
almost daily occurrence that we meet
strangers on our streets enauiring for
residences and business houses. Our
monied men are not blind to this fact
and are having buildings erected as
fast as possible. But it seems impos.
sible to supply the demand. Every
| house is rented rs soon as the founda,
