NEW ATTACHMENT LAW.
Probability That Actions Thought to
be Illegal Will be Contested.

Some merchants as II result of the pas
sage by the last Legislature of II bill
entitled An act concerning the attach
ment of wages" have sought recertv
to attach wages for bills incurred prior
to its passage and also, for clothing ard
other articles not contemplated in the
act. A well-known attorney has cS-
auiined -he act and gives the opinion
that it does not apply to bills incurred
before il became u Jaw, which WAS on
February 18th of the current year. AMI
that no bills can he collected mlicr ii
except snch as are incurred fnr flod.
provisions and articles used in the home;
neither can there be, in his opinion, more
than one attachment against any wages
due.
| His analysis of the law is rs follows:
| First 4 debt for which an attach
ment lies must be incurred subsequent To
February 49, 1901,
4 Second. Such debt must be incurred
for the ''necessares of life" which are
defined It's food, provision and articles
used in the home.
Third. That any wages due are liable
to only one attachment.
Fourth. That the amount Of an attach
ment cannot exceed one months wages
In several instances recently attach
mnnts have been laid for clothing and
other articles not contemplated in tho
act. Owing to the fact that the law>
of the recent session of the General As
sembly have not been printed, most
people affected are in ignorance of thu
net referred to, nut some of those in
tercsted have secured a copy and arr
prepared to contest any attachment
which are though: to be Illegal.

DOUBTFUL VENTURE.
Proposed Opening Of the Academy
Of Music.
Theatre Has Not Had Successful
Season for a Number Of
Years

The proposed opening Of the Academy
of Music this season is looked upon rs a
doubtful venture by those who nave III
mind the numerous failures to run the
house successfully in past years. Owing
to the class of shows put on the house
has not had successful season for .
number of years.
That the better class of theatregoer
was not catered to was the cause of
failure to succeed aI,l 'hn consequent
closing of the doors of the theatre. II
the same class of plays that were given
| in past seasons are put on this season the
result certainly will be similar to thai
of the pust.
Wilmington theatrs-goers want to Sc,
lperfoimances of good standard and vii
patronZe no other class of plays Ihi'
mas beer demonstrated time and again
in the history of the Academy of Music
and should he taken into consideration

CRIMINAL INSANE

We call the special attention OF our
readers to the paragraph in the report
of Mr.. F. B. Arendell, manager of the
penitentiary, in reference to Criminal
or Dangerous Insane Department" Mr..
Arendell truly says tits establishment
is an injustice to these poor unfortunate
people that the incoming Legislature
should correct" In this opinion Messrs.
Travis, Newland and Perry concur
The existence of this department is a
stain upon the good name of the State,
and it's abolition is demanded by every
dictate Of humanity. We hear great out
cries-and just gainst putting the
insane in jails, and then we put them in
the penitentiary where the sense of
wrong inflicted prevents their recovery.
The first step toward reform and pro-
gress in the treatment of the insane is
to abolish the penitentiary insane asylum
and have done with the absurdity of call
ing any of the unfortunate insane "crimi-
nal insane

JUSTICE COOK.

Through thick and thin, through evil
as we'll as good report-(mostly the for
mer)-Charles Austin Cook, Esq, of War
rem, has been the staunch friend of Gov
ernor Russell He led Russells fights
in the Legislature against the Southern
Railway, and when the Governor went
over bag and baggage to the Southern,
it was Judge Cook who had charge of the
retreat. Such loyalty deserved we'll of
the Governor, and his gratitude to Cook
as shown in the appointment shows in
this instance at least he possesses the
virtue of gratitude.
Justice Cook does not rank as great
lawyer though his friends say that he is
a far better lawyer than is generally sup
posed. They predict that he will make
reputation on the bench will not be par
tisan in his opinions, and will do equity.
Let us hope so.

the Seaboard Air Line Railway, comes as
a great surprise to the general public
Following close upon the heels of the
retirement of Mr. Allen, General Pas

dent of Motive Power, it looks like a
general shake up on the system.
Mr. ST John is one of the ablest, most
liberal minded, progressive and success
fully aggressive railroad men this genera
ton has produced. He met grave condi-
tions with an heroic policy, and has
sought, not only the expansion of the
business of his road, but as well the
growth and prosperity of the sections
through which it passes. He is one of
the most resourceful railroad men in
America, and has left his impression upon
the Seaboard and the country it ira
verses.

EDUCATION AND SCHOOL BOOKS.
Charlotte Observer.
We publish in another column some
history of the school book law of North
Carolina In this year of grace, when
the Democratic party is under its sol
emn pledge TO the people to devise ways
and means whereby no white boy shall
lose his vote in 1908 for lack of a chance
10 learn to read and write, there must
be an early and steady start in behalf
of popular education Let the year 1908
draw nigh without these changes and the
people will know the reason why. May
some Calvin H. Wiley arise to lead in
these great things! We incline to the
opinion that there can be no great unified
system of popular education until we
have uniform adoption of text books
throughout the State. The State Super
intendent of Public instruction warmly
advocates State adoption, in his report
recently published. He should be the
best authority upon the subject and his
voice should be potential.
