The decision
STANLY just handed
BOND DECISION. down by the
Supreme Court

Supreme court
in the Stanly county bond case
is one of such widespread inter
est that it deserves more than
passing mention. In 1887, a
majority, of the qualified voters
having voted for the proposition,
Stanly county issued 100000
in bonds to aid the Yadkiu Rail
road to enter the county, the
last $1,000 being delivered IN
1891. The $4,000 interest was
paid regularly until last summer,
when Judge Robinson issued a
restraining order Gil the treasurer
which order has now been made
permanent by the Supreme
Court. The plaintiffs alleged
that the bonds are not legal be-
cause the bill for their issue was
not passed in accordance with
Section ID of the Constitution !;
that is, the bill did not pass
three separate readings in the
House Of Representatives on
three different days, nor were
the yeas and nays recorded up>
on the second and third read
inps. It can rea lily be recog~
nized by those most ignorant OF
law that this is a mere technl>
cal;ty, and that the moral obi
CATION may not be lessened by
any number of decisions OF
earthly courts. 1t is clearly an
ethical sin, tho not one in law.
In other words, Stanly county
has its railroad, while the bond
holders (among whom the Uni
versity is touched to the tune OF
SO ,ooo) pay for it. The cats
may nurse their paws at leisure /;
the monkey enjoys the chest
nuts. We may not venture a
guess how far-reaching this de
cision will be. Already Buns
come county has felt the anarch-
ical excitement, aud its counts
sioners are taking steps TO repu-
diate the $4,000 of bonds issued
in 1895, while many other towns
and counties will fall into line
as soon as the Legislative jour-
nails have been examined.
Where and what will be the end !?
We can not say. Let us hope,
however, that some remnant OF
our Quondam state chastity OF
honor will be left, and that all
the daughter equities must not
suffer for the sins Of reprobate
and fallen sister.

SOUTHERN Mr.. Mckinley
MILLS. and his protec-

it IS a gloomy picture the cotton

day. Protected by the highest
tariff the country has ever
known, tie New England Mills
have reduced wages and now
threaten to shut down entirely.
They failed to include in their
calculations the puny Southern
mills as a factor; but this babe
has now grown into a giant
that, having already checked,
threatens to crush out all com

Southern mill-cheap labor,
freight savings, and paucity of
restrictive laws and the Nor
them mills have confessed that
their dcGc1t is only a matter of
time. This confession was a
bitter pill for them, but the
truth is too evident to conceal.
Much foreign capital has al
ready come South. and unex>
