Taking to Water.

The United States seems 10 take as
naturally to water as a cat takes to cream.
Six months ago we didn't know a cruiser
from gunboat, and now we are nautical
to the top notch. We talk boats, we
think boats We have pictures OF boats
all over our daily papers; boats decorate
our magazines, boats cover our bilboards.
We fight naval battles with gravy boats
and sail cracker boats in wastes Of steamy
soup. The mere pigmes of the land, the
crawling infantry, the hoppity-kickety
cavalry, the trundling artillery, are for
the moment set aside. 1t is the sailor
lad, with his rolling gait, the bully OF the
after deck, the captain in bis coming
tower, who hold orr hearts affection.

n Sensible Movement.

Just because Il person is engaged in
mercantile pursuits is no reason that he
should he overworked There has been
much said OF late years about the deteri-
Grafton OF the condition Of the working
man, by reason Of the long hours of labor
eNacted by employers. The resalt Of this
agitation has been the Enactment Of laws
by congress and almost every state Of the
Jnion making eight hours a legal days
work.
1t is true that ten hours is almos, uni
versally recognized as the labor Of day,
yet merchants and others - for 10
other reason than that "others do it,
work about rs hours a day on an
average.
a movement has been inauguratcd bv
the business men Of Aberdeen. who. bv
the way, consist OF more young and pro.
gressive men than can be found in any
city OF its size in this or any other county,
to close all stores in the city at O'Clock
p. m. every day except Saturday and the
evenings of the 10th and 18th of each
month-the pay days of the mills.
The proposition has met with great
favor as will be seen by the list below
showing the merchants who oblgate
themselves to close accordingly:

SUIT AGAINST COL. ANDREWS
An ex-Judge Discusses the Act Under
Which it Is Brought.

To the Editor: / see in your issue OF
January the both, that an action mas
been commenced against Col. A. b.
Andrews for $4,000 in favor OF the
State of North Carolina. for an alleged
penalty or forfeiture encurred by MN
for failing to attend a meeting OF the
Railroad Commissioners, having Deen
suhnoened therefor under section IL.
Act 1891, Chapter 800. You will per-
ceive the act imposes this penalty upon
persons who shall fail to attend meet
ing of said Commissioners when sum
moned so to do, and says they shall for
felt and pay a sum not less than one
hundred and not more than five thouS-
and dollars for each offence to be re-
covered by the State 1t would be q
handsome little sum if Governor Rus
sells Commissioners could recover the
same from Col. A. B. Andrews, for he
is very able to pay the same. l can't
see however, why the Commissioners
sued for five thousand dollars when they
could have as well sued for one hun
dred or for half the amount of five
thousand. What sum did he forfeit
Was it one hundred dollars or five
thousand? This forfeiture is a penalty
or intended to be- A penalty is a sum
certain and penalties are recovered in
an action of debt, therefore in a decla-
ration for a penalty there must be a
sum certain stated and forfeited. THIS
section is certainly void for vagueness
and uncertainty. In the case of the
Commissioners of Louisburg VS.. Harris,
9TH Jones. page PSI, Chief Justice Pear
SON in delivering the opinion of the court
says: Where a town ordinance provi-
des that for certain disorderly conduct
the offender shall pay a penalty of not
less than one nor more than twenty dol
lars, was void for vagueness and un-
certainty"
The Commissioners in this case did
not quote the language of the statute
in their complaint where it alleges that
the defendant shall forfeit not less than
one nor more than FIVE thousand dollars
because it must have been apparent to
them that they did not know for what
sum to sue and what sum was forfeited
All penal statutes are construed strictly
and therefore when a penalty is uncer-
tain. the law is void for vagueness and
uncertainty 1t must have been very
embarrassing to the learned counsel
who drew up the complaint in this CAGE
when tlEev stated that Col. Andrews
forfeited five thousand dollars when The
act states that the penalty must not
beiless than one hundred nor more than
FIVE thousand dollars. We need n
learned Code Commission who shall 30
over all our Statute laws and prune ont
those that have been repealed or amended
,and erase those which are unconstitll-
tional and void for uncertainty.
Yours truly.
