INSUFFICIENT PUNISHMENT.

From a view of ample protection
to society, the sentence imposed
upon Harry Tracey, the dangerous
hlghwayman, scarcely fits the crime.
THIS outlaw, with an air of brag-
gAdocio, yesterday voluntarily con-
fessed to having committed larger
number of felonIes in this city during
The past year than with which he is
charged. This he did in the face of
pleading guilty to indictments for
the commission of four distinct
crimes, each of which entails penalty
of twenty years. Not only that, this
desperate made murderous assault
upon the county jailer and deputy
sheriff few minutes before he faced
the tribunal which was to seal his
doom.
While the judge passing sentence
upon this man is above reproach, as
the personification of honor, he did
an injury to society in extending a
particle of leniency to the criminal,
derisively grinnlng, standing before
him. The court imposed penalty
of twenty years upon Tracey for
each of the four felonies to which he
pleaded guilty. But he erred in
mitigating the punishment by allow
ing these sentences TO run concurrent.
Society demands that full punish
ment shall he meted out to those
viciously and violently infringing
upon its regulations. Tracey is an
untamable social creature whose
freedom constantly is menace to
well-ordered men and women. By
reason of that fact society has the
right to insist upon his permanent
seclusion.
The law claims that a penal in
stltute is in all essentials reforma-
tory. In this also the law erls. The
instances are too rare to mention
where an ex-convict amounts to any
thing, even in his own esteem. These
''reformatorles" graduate many more
vicious criminals than those who
enter them. AS bad a man as Tracey
now Is, he will emerge, ic he lives, at
the age of 45 years, intensely more
hardened.-Telegra

THE DESIRE TO ENLIST.

Whatever amount of truth there
may be in the charges that during
the late war the soldiers were badly
treated, they have apparently failed
to have any particular effect in di-
rections where it would be supposed
they could hardly help exercising
great influence, says the Astorian.
Thus it is said that the rush of able
bodied and every way desirable
young men to enlist in the regular
army as enlarged by recent act of
congress Is as surprising to the re-
cTuiting officers as 1t Is gratifying.
Even the most sanguine of satis-
factory response to the demand for
more troops hardly hoped for such
immediate and encouraging results.
It was naturally expected that the
damaging evidence brought out in
the various beef Investigations would
have tendency to at least cast a
damper on any great desire to join
the ranks, but nothing of the kind
has happened, or at least not to the
extent feared.
Another fact noticeable in these
numerous enlistments, is that they
come at a time when business is
growing the country over, with in
creasing wages and demands for all
forms of labor. It has commonly
been supposed that men as q rule
enlisted only when they found other
means of employment difficult or
impossible. That no approach to
this condition of things now exists
and that still SO many are eager to
shoulder rifle is proof of a patriotic
spirit in our people that is brimful
of promise and hope for the country's
farthest future, so far as that may
be said to depend upon the war like
mettle and martial ardor of her sons

.INEBRIETY..A DISEASE

lnebrety, morphine and other drug
addictions are dependent upon a diseased
condition of the nervous system. The

overpowering to be conquered by resO-

Mrs. Joe Persons
REMEDY.
FEARFULLY BURNED.

In April, 1898, my little girl was fear
fully burned by her clothes catching
fire. Her whole face was terribly burn
ed. We had but little hopes of her ie-
coyery, as it yielded to medical treatment
to the extent of being apparently cured,
but in q short time the sores would again
break out, become red and intlamed and
perfectly raw We tried different treat
ments for three months, and then deter
mined to try Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy
in August. At that time she had sores
as large as a silver dollar, and she suf-
fered terribly. She was so restless she
could get no sound sleep, and was not
able to eat solid food, or grease Of any
kind. Her condition was indeed piteable.
Her mouth was burned so that it was
perfectly raw as far down the throat
as we could see. After commencing the
Remedy i'm August, she was soon got SO
she could eat solid food and anything
else She wanted, could sleep we'll at night,
and the sores soon entirely healed. She
had not taken a bottle before they heal
ed, and she has been well ever since.

FARMERS HOLD YOUR COTTON.

There are two causes that operate to
keen down the prices Of cotton:
/. Ncill's bear prediction.
.. Farmers rushing cotton to mari.et.
In 1896 this Same expert, Mr.. NELL,
| made an estimate that was two million
ont of the way. When he was uphraid-
cd with his prediction that had cost the
farmers so much, his reply was, THAT is
very true, but nave saved the spinners
of New and Old England five million
dollars" That five millions was taken
from the farmers by reason of Neills pre-
diction This year he is predicting a L.
100000 bale crop. When his prediction
was first published, the cotton market
"slumped," and the present low price of
cotton is partially due to Neill's bear es-
innate.
The other cause for the low price IL
the heavy shipments already made to the
markets. Some commercial papers have
already discounted the crop reports by
referring to the big receipts that are
coming in. If this rush to market con
tinues, the farmers will be helping Neil
to keep down the price of the staple.
The farmers, by aid of the merchants
and bankers, can put an end to pressing
down the price of their money crop by
rushing it all to market in il few months
time. The farmers, at least those in this
section of the State, need mot sacrifice
their crops by selling at the present
prices The banks of Raleigh have II
million and half dollars ON deposit, and
can get as much money rs they need.
There are several storage warehouses n
Raleigh which will store cotton, protect
ed by insurance, ut twenty cents bale
per month. The banks will lend money
ON these warehouse certificates at six per
cent interest, and will lend five sixths
of the market value per bale. With the
opportunity to help stop the glut IN the
market, the farmers will do well to hold
their crops. Those that need ready mon
ey can warehouse it and borrow five
sixths of the value of the crop, pay their
debts, and hold their cotton for the rise
that is sure to come in the spring unless
all signs fail There as no trouble about
getting money from the Raleigh banks,
and we take it that the banks in all
parts of North Carolina will make the
same arrangements to help the farmers
hold their crops. With cotton as col
lateral, it will not be difficult for banks
to re-iscount their paper even if they
have applications that exhaust their
available funds. Next to federal or
State bonds, no collateral is so good as
| warehouse cotton certificates. Wherever
there are no warehouse facilities, they
can be easily provided. In Georgia,
where the farmers, merchants and bank
ers are acting in concert, warehouses are
being built, and it is estimated that 81,
| 600 will build warehouse that viii store
five hundred babes. In many towns ar
engagements later on can be made, we
take it, to store cotton i'll tobacco ware
houses.

If TRUE 1T SHOULD BE SHOWN AND
REMEOlED.

The Blblical Recorder makes the POINT
that land and houses have not been as
sessed at anything like as near their rcai
value as have railroads. This no doubt
is true.-Monroe Journal.
OF course it's true, but you want TO
say it mighty easy.-Charlette Observer.
If true it should not be said easy
1t should be spoken loud-so loud that the
injustice would be rectified But the
land and houses should be brought
llp, mind you, and not railroads put
down, unless it is shown that the rail
roads are assessed too high.-Asheville
Citizen.
The attention of these editors is invit-
ed to the answer of the Corporation
Commission and the accompanying aft
davits wherein two things are esta oiisn-
ed beyond controversy: /. That the rail
road property, assessed at S44, 100000
is worth much more than that amount III
money. The truth is that the railroad
property of North Carolina is paying
handsomely now and would bring more
than one hundred million dollars at a
forced sale today. 2. That much pri-
yate property is assessed at more than
its true value in money if put UP for
would bring on the market, the private
property is assessed at much nearer its
true value in money" than the railroad
property. A study of the sales of rail,
road stock will demonstrate this fact as
well as a glance at the sale of much prop
erty. sold under mortgage. Money lends
ers are glad to lend money ON railroad
stocks at very near its market value;
it is seldom that they win lend money
on farms for more than half the tax
value If the State discrimnates at al,
the discrimination is rather in assessing
a $4,000 locomotive at $500 for tax
alton than in an differentiation of town
and farm property.
The injunction brought by the rail
roads has demonstrated what most peo-
pie have not heretofore believed, towit,
that for fifty years the railroads have
not borne their proportionate share IT
the cost of government, and that the
owners of private property during all
these years have borne more than their
share of these burdens. The result Of the
l,dblic discussion and agitation ought
to result in Il thorough study of taxd-
ton by the men who make and who
execute the law to the end that all prop
crty of all kinds shall be assessed at
SITS true value in money" The answer
of the Corporation Commission proves
that there has been differentiation in
much railroad property, and the affida-
Wits presented by the railroads show thaC
there has been SOME differentiation here
and there of private property. The Cor
poration Commission and most of the
assessors, however, are shown to have
done their duty with the lights before
them. The Asheyille Citizen is right in
saying that the remedy for any under
valuation is to increase such property
az is not assessed at its true value IN
I money!" not to reduce the assessment
on any property confessedly assessed at
less than its selling value.

Let the truth be told and let Justice

be reduced; wherever too low, it should
be raised. Nothing less than this is legal
or just to men who pay their taxes at
a fair assessment
