rs 1T IMPEACHMENT ?

The Legislature of 1899 passed an act
peremptorily forbidding the State
Treasurer from paying compensation
to any one for services rendered con.
corning the shell fish industry, ex-
cept such as were rendered under the
provisions of the act of March 2nd.
1899.
In defiance of that law that is as
plain as pike-staff, the State Treas
urer paid Theophilus White $S31.15 for
alleged services under an act of 1897.
The committee appointed by the Gen
eral Assembly to examine the State
Treasurer's books, very properly re-
commended that the credit of this
claim be not allowed to the Treas
urer."
The State Treasurer says that he re-
fused to pay White any money, even
after the Supreme court decided in
Whites favor in the contest for the
office, until "a majority of the Su-
preme court directed the clerk to is
sue mandamus to the Auditor COM
handing him to issue warrant in
favor of Theophilus White" Then he
paid the warrant and his political
friend says he thought he ought to
pay it rather than bring himself in
contempt of court
The three Republican members OF
the Supreme court transcribed their
power in issuing the mandamus and
made themselves liable to impeach-
ment in that they not only ordered the
State Treasurer to disobey legisla-
tive mandate, but also themselves is
sued an order which the State Consti-
tuition expressly forbids them to is
sue. Section 9, Article ", of the Con-
stitution reads:
''The Supreme court shall have origi-
nal jurisdiction to hear claims against
the State, but its decision shall be
merely recommendatory. NO PRO
CESS IN THE NATURE OF EXECIT-
TION SHALL BE ISSUED THEREON.
They SHALL be reported to the next
session of the General Assembly for
its action"
1t is clear that a majority of the
Supreme court has performed an act
that the Constitution expressly forbids
the court to do. How can ordinary
men be expected to obey the law
when the Supreme court openly disc
beys constitutional inhibition upon
its acts?
The Legislative Committee has done
the State a signal service in calling
the attention of the people to- the
wrongful acts of a majority of the
Supreme court and State Treasurer.
Their report is plain, strong, temper
ate and for these reasons is all the
more convincing arraignment OF
these high public officials. pass

AN ALTRUIsTIC HUSBAND.

The marriage of Mrs. Phipps to Mr..
Roger Morgan, a millionaire, of Mich
igan, which was a notable event in
high society during the past week,
has behind it the story of an altruistic
husband who loved his wife so much
that he gave her up because he believ-
ed millionaire could make her hap
pier than he could. A year ago the
lady, who was the apparently devoted
wife of travelling man, met the mil
lionaire. He feel deeply in love with
-Aer and she reciprocated his passion.
The husband permitted divorce and
now he is minus a wife and his for
mer wife is plus a mansion and the ac-
cessoT.ies that go with the millionaire
husband.
Who will ever know the sacrifice the
husband has made? Ruslin loved his
wife devotedly, but he voluntarily gave
her up to enable her to marry Sir
John Millias. Pipps is as great in
sItruism as Ruskin. What about their
wives?

In April 1899, my little boy about two
years old was taken with bowel trou-
bic. All efforts of the doctors failed to
relieve him. He could not digest his food
at all, it would pass as he ate it. This
condition produced constant hemorrhage
from the bowels. Night after night would

MR.. MEBANE'S REPORT.

The recommendation of the State
Superintendent of Public Instructions
will be approved in the main by the
friends of public education in North
Carolina. Mr.. Mebane has been a
model public official. He has had but
one desire: to promote the education
of the children. He has never been
partisan or narrow. His experience
of four years entitle his recommends
tions to weight.
Perhaps the most interesting por-
ton of Mr.. Mebanes report is the in
formation he supplies with reference
to the taxation of railroads by the sew
eral States and his recommendation
that the coming Legislature levy a five
per cent tax on the gross earnings of
railroads and give it all to the school
fund. He says that the railroads in
North Carolina ''now net five million
dollars annually over and above four
per cent on the real value OF their
property He figures that five per
cent gross income tax would give
100000 annually and leave the roads
an annual income of $4,300,000
Later we will make further reference
to this and to other recommendations

CHICAGO, August IL. - Gen. Joseph
Wheeler made a strong plea for the stand

clared that the only security for peace was
to be always prepared for war. At the
close of the address Gen. Wheeler was
cheered by the students. many of whom are
from the southern states, and when the
university band struck up Dixie" the en-
thusiasm rose to a high pitch.
Gen Whcelers topic was Our Pacific
Possessions He briefly traced the history
and development of the islands recently
acquired by the United States and gave the
results of his own observations as to the re-
sources and possibilities of our new de-
tendencies. He said the destiny of the hui
man race was TO be guided in the future
largely by the government of the United
States.
