RELIGIOUS SERVICE.
On last Sunday morning Rev. Mr. Roas. in
the absence of the pastor, preached In the
Methodist Church, taking his text from
10th verse, 'And the Lord shut him in." His
subject was faith In the religion OF Jesus
Christ" showing by number OF beautiful
that this was the only religion,
the only safe way. He dwelt largely upon
the faith OF Noah in his obedience In building
the ark. doing just what God told him, giving
both his time and money to the work, and In
IL standing alone as zone" against the whole
world, because OF his faith In God. He said
he thought the severest trial of Noah's faith
was the days he waited. after 1.-The Lord had
shut him tn," but bis faith was rewarded at
were opened and the floods came, but because
OF Noah's faith, he and all with him were
safe. This faith Is the only safe religion TO en-
able us TO make the right choice In life and
that will save us In time OF temptation and
sorrow. Some had not this faith, and were
shut out and without 1t will live through
eternity without God. With this faith In
God we will be enabled to launch out into the
darkn ness, amidst all the trials OF life without
fear. The sermon was delivered In an earnest
and impressi We manner and claimed the un.
divided attention OF his hearers throughout.

OPPOSES MOSQUITO THEORY.
DR.. Jones Thinks Horses Killed by Microbes
Prevalent in Hot Wet Summer.

To the Editor: After reading Hon. j.
II Smalrs article on the State Agricul-
tural Department, which Dr. Petty takes
all to himself. and attempts to scold my
good friend, the big hearted Jno Small,
| have decided to give my views of the
situation.
DR.. j. W. Petty, on arriving at Swan
Quarter, Hyde county, n. c., found
enough sick horses presenting all the
phases of the horse trouble for any one
who has a knowledge of horses to form
fair conclusion as to the exact cause,
hence it seemed to me he had accom-
plished his object, unless it could be ex-
pected for him to stay until subsistence
of the trouble with the horses, which no
doubt was the right thing for the de-
partment to have ordered him to do. /
believe DR.. Petty fully competent to
treat horses, hence by staying, l believe,
great good could have been done and
many valuable horses saved to my people.
AS to the mosquito theory l disagree
with him, as we often have them
more plentiful than they were during be-
fore and since the plague broke out, and
no trouble among horses then existed. /
have noticed for thirty-five years, in
every instance of wet July and August
accompanied by hot weather, more or less
horses have died in Hyde county from the
same trouble; to-wt: In 1867 and 1877,
and. in 1891 and 1901. All four of these
seasons very much alike. My individual
opinion of this malady is, that owing to
wet weather the dug wells from which
all or nearly all of the horses are wat
erNd are full of surface water and con-
tanning some form of microbe, which is
the great source of this disease. The
trouble commences in the stomach and
by reflex action attacks some of the in
tcrnal orgaLs, say kidney. lungs, liver or
brains--more commonly the lungs, as |
have examined four, in all of which the
lungs We're the seat of trouble. During
these peculiar seasons this same microbe
doubtless exists in the air and enters the
lungs by Inhalation; existing in both the
air and water makes it more fatal.
What our people need is a veterin-
arian, located in the county, as but little
good can be done by passing along
through the county, for it is impossible
to teach all the people how to treat
sick horse in so short a time. There are
already more remedies or cure alls and
horse doctors then there are sick horses
| believe blood letting to be the right
thing, if done at the proper time. After
the disease develops l am satisfied it
does no good as a preventive measure, as
numbers of horses have died that were
bled before they contracted the disease.
You doubtless will hear of Mr.. Smalls
doctor from Washington, d. c., as he has
made tour of the county. l have not
met him, and have heard nothing from
him as l have been compelled to remain
at home for two days in order to care
for very valuable sick mare, which is
suffering from the malady. 1 have taken
blood from her twice in twenty four
hours. think l will likely save her.

PRAYER STOPS RAIN.

If has often been stated that
while many people have prayed
for rain. nobody has prayed for
tne rain to stop during a
wet spell. In answer to this Mr.. j. ]. Me-
Tendon. of Indian Trial. gives this Incl
dent with the result that the prayer was
answered:
ION Sunday morning, September list, a
very large congregation worshipped at
the Matthews Baptist church. Brother G.
T. Greaves preached. 1t was a solemn
time.
"At 8 D. m, the Pleasant Plain church
met to call a pastor and a member was
called on to lead in prayer for Divine
guidance He prayed for temporal bless
ings as well. That the day so clear and
bright might end as auspiciously as it
came, that the rain might now be re-
strained and that there might be suita-
Bile weather for harvesting the crops.
"As the day closed the skies cleared
and the wet weather was a thing of the
mast. Monday morning found the now
ers in the fields and meadows with the
lark. and the work was rushed until Sat
urday night. Much fine hay was saved. 1
succeeded in storing away nineteen .wo
horse loads during the week"

DAVID BENNETT HILLS FORE
SIGHT.

There is one man in America who can

would not have waited until the horse
was out before locking the door of the

Hill. In 1894, information was received
by the State Department from France
that a number of anarchists forced to
leave that country had sailed for the
United States At the request of the
State Department the Senator from New
York introduced a bill providing for the
exclusion and deportation of alien an
archists. The bill passed the Senate
without delay, but it was near the end
Of the session and an objection to i'm
mediate consideration in the House Of
Representatives prevented it's considera-

enforcement and involving more intrica-

FIFTY FIRST VOLUME.

Today the News and Observer enters
for a newspaper 1t has been q potent
factor during all these years in the edu-
cational, Industrial and political develop
ment of North Carolina Its history is
the history of the restoration of good
government in North Carolina after re-
construction. 1t has lead in every light for
good government that has been waged in
it's history. 1t has been the evangel OF
education and the forerunner of Industrial
development. 1t is better equipped today
for it's great work than at any time in its
history. Looking back upon it's unselish
AMI patriotic service-a service rendered
gladly for the betterment of the condition
of the people of the State, its management
feel "to thank God and take courage"
The present management has been con-
Quoting the paper something over years.
They have been years of trial, of toll, OF
conflict Of strenuous effort. The paper
has steadily grown in influence, in cir
culation and in usefulness. The cash
receipts from subscriptions and adver-
tsements has been 81 per cent more
during the year ending July 81, 1901, than
for the first year that the paper was un-
der its present management. This in
crease has been steady and shows that
the paper is now on basis OF substantial
prosperity as we'll as of assured future
progress and growth. 1t has no mission
except to lead in those movements that
make for better things for North Caro-
lima and North Carolinians.

GARFIELD's SHORT SPEECH.

The Republic still lives. 1t will be
strong enough to destroy anarchy without
abridging free speech. When Lincoln
was assassnated tools marched through
Wall street bent on vengeance. When
they were maddest with rage, young
man appeared ON the porch of hotel,
from which the bulletins were read, raised
his hand for silence, and said:
Fellow citizens: Clouds and darkness
are round about him. His pavilion is
dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
Justice and judgment are the habita-
ton of his throne, and truth shall go be-
fore his face. Fellow citizens. God rclgns
and the Government at Washington still
lives"
The effect was electrical and the
speaker-James A. Garfield-silenced the
roaring of the mob and gave faith to
those who felt like the foundations were
slipping away. The need is to have
faith--not in guns and barricades alone
but in the patriotism of the people and
in their devotion to the true IDEAL of lib
erty set forth in the Declaration OF In
dependence.

AFTER RAILROAD TAx-D0DGERS.

In Ohio the cash value of the steam
railroads, based upon the quoted market
value of their securities is found by Prof.
Bemis to be $685., O59, 81. The law requires
the State board of equalization to assess
railroad property according to it's real
value the same as other property" and
Mr. Bemis, after careful investigation,
finds that farm mercantile and other
! property in the State is commonly as
sessed for taxation at 60 per cent of It's
true or market value II railroads were
assessed at sixty per cent of the market
value, they would be on the textbooks
for 1921 100000 instead Of the $117 ,OO0, 900
at which they are assessed Armed with
this information, which Prof. Bemis, the
hlghest authority in the United States
had obtained after careful study and ex-
animation of all the facts Mayor Johnson
OF Cleveland, Mayor Jones, of Toledo, and
Col. Kilbourne, the Democratic candidate
for Governor. went before the State
Board and demanded that the law be car
ried. The Board-composed of the Re-
publican State offieials--began to adopt
tactics to escape their duty. First they
refused adequate hearing; then they said
they had no authority to increase the as
sesslnent made by local boards, but aban-
doned that pretence when it was shown
that in some instances they had increas-
ed them, and wired in and out so ignomin-
restrain his disgust when the members
of the Board attempted to brow-b beat him,
and he declared:
THE big corporations get all the bene-
fits of the present methods Of assess
ments. How? BY influencing auditors,
by influencing legislators, by influencing
courts and influencing elections. Let
us take off the mask and be frank with
each other. / say that no auditor or
other official who has a RAILROAD pass
in his pocket or accepts other favors from
these corporations is a fit man to say
how much of the tax burden they shall
pay. Some men may be above these influ-
ences, but doubt it, Why, gentlemen,
lie officials has even gone so far as to
extend to your august body. Two Of you
accepted an invitation of a certain rail-
road official to take a long trip in pri-
vate car to California. | hope it did
not influence you
If the railroads in Ohio were assessed
at sixty per cent of their cash value, they
would pay in taxes to the counties So
170,990 whereas they are actually assess
ed to pay only $2,1OS,794. The railroads
in Ohio are assessed per mile at only
little more than one half of what they
are assessed at in the adjoining State
OF Indiana. The Hoosier State is not so
rich and the population is not so great.
The difference is in this: Ohio is a
rock ribbed Republican State and the Re-
publican assessors are controlled by the
railroads; Indiana is doubtful State
where the Democrats generally ruled
prior to 1894.

JEFFERsoN's PLAN WOULD END
ANARCHY.

In drafting laws that will provide for
chists, the wise men should be guided
by the sentiment expressed by Mr.. Jeff
erson in a letter to Hon. VIM. H. Craw-
ford, Secretary Of the Treasury during
Madison's administration. He wrote:
Every society has right to fix the
fundamental principles of it's assoeia-
ton. and to say to all individuals, that, IL
they contemplate pursuits beyond the linn
it's of these principles, and involving
dangers which the society chooses to
avoid, they must go somewhere else for
their exercise; that we want no citizens,
and still less ephemeral and pseudo-cit-
liens, on such terms. We may exclude
them from our territory, as we do per-
sons infected with disease"
If Mr.. Jefferson had possessed pro-
phetic vision and could have seen the at
tempted assassination of Mr. Mckinley,
he could not have written words that
more fifty fits the present situation. In
the rebound produced by the horror OF
the assassination, there will certainly
be modern Faderalists who will advocate
re -enacting the hateful alien and sedi-
tion laws which exalted the officer rath-
er than gave protection to government
and who will wish to see the President
made prisoner behind iron bars, living
round the Gear of all the Russias. Be
cause Mr. jefferson antagOnized the SEN
timent that aped monarchy in his day
and was the exponent of free speech. there
were those who classed MIN with the
revolutionists of France. The truth was
that Mr.. Jefferson was the wisest pro-
moter of liberty regulated Ivy law be-
cause he wished no policy CT repression
and distrust of the masses of the people
suited in the French Revolution. Writ
ing of his views, Mr.. John F. Foley
says:
Assassination as an fundamentally of
reform was held in horror by Jefferson.
Writing to Madison on the subject in
jury were legitimate principles of govern
ment in the dark days which interviewed
between ancient and modern civilization,
but exploded and held in just horror in
the eighteenth century No one more
severely condemned the atrocities of
Robespierre. OF that monster he wrote:
What tremendous obstacle TO the flu
ture attempts at liberty will be the afro
n s,x.
sRobespierre met the fate, and his memory
the execration he so Justly merited. The
rich were his victims, and persisted by
thousands SIS
1--WE may exclude them Chose whose
principles involve danger to society from
our territory as we do persons infected
with disease" That is the remedy-ex-
clusion and deportation for anarchists
rather than a trust in stringent laws
against assassination or in locking the
President up in an iron cage. IAN ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of cure. )"
There is room and welcome here fer the
our shores to improve their condition
and enjoy liberty regulated by law, and
there is no sentiment of hostility toward
the thousands of honorable foreign born
citizens who are among the strongest pre-
servers of law and order. but there is not
an inch of ground in America for the
anarchist or other persons preaching the
doctrines that lead up to assassination
and lawlessness.
