A HUNDRED THOUSAND PASSES.

Mr.. Sc. John, Vice. President OF the
SeabOard Air Line, on last Thursday
told the Railroad Commission that his
company had issued Is. 155 passes in
North Caroline during the year 1897.
A pass has been seen, issued by the
Southern, that bore q number running
over so, 600. Putting all the companies
together it is probable that o than
100, 600 persons rode free in North Caro-
lima last year. Those who paid their
fare paid the fare of those who rode
free. Of all this vast number some
we're entitled TO transportation. News
paper men who exchanged advertising
space for transportation and railroad
employees were entitled to what they
got, morally and legally, we think.
But those who asked for and received
free passes for their influence" were
not entitled to them, and such things
ought to be controlled by law. OF all
that number of free riders very few
we're disabled soldiers, poor widows or
helpless orphans. 1t would be almost
cruel to oppose favors to those people.
But 95 per cent of those receiving
passes are amply able topay their fare,
and should be compelled to do so. II
all we're made to pay who should do so,
fares could easily be reduced to . or q
per mile without Gripping the rail-
roads

THE LOUD BILL,

Some publishers are going into
spasms over the Loud bill. This bill,
we will admit, has some Objectionable
features, but editors may rest assured
that no Congressman who realizes the
power of the press, will do much to
hurt the publishers of country news
papers.
For our part we think that something
ia needed to check this sample CODY"
evil, and in u eyes, a proposition of
this kind will cover a multitude of
other evils. More harm to the morals
of the people, more harm to reliable
advertisers, more harm to good home
newspapers is done by the great mass
of sample copies of so called family
monthlies from the North with their
immoral stories, and immodest and
fraudulent advertisements, than by
almost any other one thing.
By all means, let honest newspapers
and honest advertisers everywhere
join In q movement to check this evil.
1t is a good rule to answer no advertise
ments in these sample copy" sheets,
and the best rule of all is to burn them
as soon as they reach the house, unless
you know the paper to be a good one
or have heard it recommended.
Parents especially should keep these
sensational monthlies, with their silly
love stories, and vile tales Of crime,
out Of the hands of children. Get

Elsewhere in this issue we give the
details of the explosion Of the battle
ship Maine and the frightful loss of
life which resulted. It has not yet
been decided just how it occurred.
This is the great event of the year, and
or not it is proven that Spain paid
some one to elbow up" the ship, the
fact remains that Cuba needs and
rightfully deserves the assistance of
the United States.
Farmers, have you laid your plans

Cold, Damp Weather Ag-

Cold, damp and disagreeable
weather is dreaded by those sub
iect TO Rheumatism, for the slight

temperature is sure to increase
their suffering. A great many
who experience little difficulty
from Rheumatism during the
summer months are likely to be-

but with the first cold, damp day
their aches and pains return and
they soon find themselves firmly

who tortures them more than
ever.

MUSICALE AND BALL GIVEN.
The First Day Closes with n Bril-
liant Social Event.


Whatever the jefferson Club undertakes
to do is always done well, as the musicale
and ball given last night in honor Of the
visiting delegates fully demonstrated. The
entertainment was planned with the in
variable care and good taste that the or
ganization always displays and that it
was a great success goes without say
ing.
1t was probably the most brilliant event
that has ever taken place under these
auspices
The clubhouse was decorated with
palms and cut-fiowers, and in the ball
room the stage was draped with the ma
tional colors.
The musicale was thoroughly enjoyed,
and great credit Is due for its arrange
ment TO Mr. Moses May. The programme
included vocal selections from La So
nambula, Robin Hood, Der Freischutz,
and IL Trovatore, with orchestral accom-
paniments under the direction Of Mr..
Jacob Reinhardt. 1t served to introduce
the following soloists: Miss Bette Bur-
well Booker, Miss Daisy Hutzler, Mrs. L.
NJ. Durrett, Mr.. Moses May, and Mr..
Henry c. Rueger. The Arion Quartette,
composed of Messrs. Moses May. j. w.
Tribbett, H. II. CardoZo and o. T.. Lob
man, and Thilow's Orchestra also took
part.
The Entertainment Committee was COM
posed of Messrs NJ. II. Asher chairman,
Sam. Cohen, NJ. NJ. Marcuse, Memo Nit
teldorfer, S. b. Rosenbaum, Ralph Levy,
and Moses May.
Following the musicale came the ball,
and a sumptuous supper, which embraced
every delicacy of the season, was served
shortly before midnight.
Among those present who were
strangers in the city were Mr.. Isadore
