THE WORLD ADMlRES.

1t is probable that peace is immi-
nent in Africa. There have been in
dications of a change ever since
Edward VII occupied the British
throne. Those indications have now
developed into some direct news OF
negotiations between Lord Kitchener
and General Botha. That means the
end Of the war.
The war should not have begun. 1t
should have ended long ago. The
Beers could have obtained as favor
able terms. and the British would
have received more valuable proper
ty wear ago than can be had now.
Meanwhile the civilized world would
have been spared the shocking stories
of cruelty, rapine and murder which
have accompanied what careless
speakers have been calling s'civilized
Warfare.'
Civilized warfare is horrible enough,
in itself, but the barbarous practices
for which it gives occasion are as re-
voting to 4 sympathetic and intelli-
gent community as is anything the
Imagination can conceive or that his
tory relates.
Crimes have been perpetrated dur
ing the war in the Transvaal. The
war spirit gave license for them. The
irresponsible soldiers usurped any
license that war did not give. Such
is true of any war That is why
General Sherman, who burned path
from Kentucky to the sea during the
Civil War, said, War is hell" He
helped to make it so.
Now, if Edwards influence has
stopped the war he will have accom-
plished something that Queen Vic
toria should have done, and some
thing for which the whole civilized
world will thank and praise him.
Americans are particularly anxious
to have peace declared because they
| admire the Beers. The Beers have
| displayed courage that is heroic,
hardihood that i. phenomenal and a
patriotism that is as splendid an
exhibition of the love Of home and
| family as the world ever knew.
Dom Paul's people have not stag.
gered the world with the slaughter
he predicted, but they have engaged
the sympathy and won the admiration
of the world.-Newport News Herald

BOTH GOOD MEN.
This from the Newton Enterprise

This from the Newton Enterprise
we publish with pleasure;
The Legislature had in both Houses
some very strong men; men who were
progressive, and not afraid to do
their duty, regardless Of criticism.
This is the kind of men the State
should be proud Of. In the Senate
the two men who made the best
records were: H. A. London, OF
Chatham, and John S. Henderson, OF
Rowan. Mr. London was the genius
and conservative force Of the finance
committee He was also the cham
pion and representative of the Con-
federate veterans and State press.
His pension bill and libel bill WILLY
As garlands around his name. Mr..
Henderson fought everything that
was wild, unjust and revolutionary
He killed more bad bills and got IN
more good amend ments to bills that
could not be killed than any other
man in either House. The reputa-
ton as a wise legislator that he made
in Congress was fully sustained IN
the Legislature. In the House there
were also some strong and conserva-
tive men, but some Of the mem bers
were very wild.

THE WORK OF THE LEGISLATURE.

The Newton Enterprise in comment
ing on the work Of the Legislature
says this:
This Legislature had some very
difficult questions to deal with A
LARGE deficit in the State treasury met
it at the very threshold. All the
State educational and charitable in
stitutions needed increased appropria-
tions to meet the demands incident
upon their steady growth within the
last decade Promises had been made
to increase the public school fund to
an amount sufficient to provide four
months schools every year in every
school district.
These demands could not be met
without framing a revenue bill that
would add large amount to the
annual taxes. This bill has been the
storm-center Of criticism. AS at first
framed it undoubtedly contained
many Objectionable features. But
even then it was not so bad as it was
thought to be, because it was mis-
understood. But the unstinted crit
cisn, unhesitatingly made by many
Of the most loyal men OF the party in
power, helped to remove the harshest
features Of the bill. AS it now stands
we hope it will be generally approved
and that it will meet the expectations
Of those who had the difficult task OF
preparing it,
Among the things we especially
endorse are the liberal appropriations
to the State public institutions; the
increased appropriation to public
schools and the manner of its distri-
button; the increased pensions to Con
Tolerate veterans; the killing of the
State primary election bill.

mt ON the stand at the outset by the
prosecution. as expected, added to this
impression.
When he did take the stand. and after
the direct examination was over-when
every one was looking and listening Tor
something to drop" as the time Tor the
cross-eXamination arrived, and when
nothing did drop, the crowd was dis
gusted beyond measure and even caution,
for many showed it,
Stand aside."
Surely that was not what Attorney
Frank Osborne said-do | hear Alright?
Stand aside and not Il question asked!
Not even a sauirrel-shot of that load
: fired, Bah, What does it mean? That
is the way the crowd thought and felt
and spoke-some of them.
Well. it means this:
Not that theloaded gun of cross-examl-
nation was not still in the possession OF
counSel-not that.
But the enemy had spiked it!
In other words. one of counsel Tor the
defense had talked too much, and
partly in Judge Clarks presence, about
| the writ of mandamus prior to being re-
| tanned in this case.
That man was Governor Jarvis, and if
he would have told what Jarvis said to
him-woud have done SO. anyway. had
not Jarvis objected and the Court sus-
| tanned the objection-and that would
have hurt the case of the respondents.
! So. in order to save the defendants,
Clark was spared-fOr it is probably true,
as reported. that some mighty uncom-
! Portable and damaging questions could
have been prOpOunded to THE man with
the vaulting ambition"
/ Then. heard on good authority, that
| the real reason Clark was not cross-eN-
aInined was because Judge Furches asked
| that. and the reason he asked it was be-
cause Clark had not attacked him on the
witness stand. Take your choice as to
which of the two explanations is the cor
| rect one.
| THE END IN SIGHT.
| The trial is expected to come to close
Thursday or Friday of this week-pos-
sibly day earlier.
| The fifty jurors (SenatOrs) may or
may not consult before rendering their
verdict. In the event that they should
desire to do SO, they will go into 'eNecu-
tive session." and discuss any point they
elect among themselves.
And then will come the final roll-call,
which will mean so much to two men and
their families and good name in history,
and which will mean as much to the
State and its future safety from encroach-
ments of the judiciary upon the legisla-
tive branch of the government-provide
these men are believed to have wilfully
or Intentionally violated the Constitution
OF the State
If seventeen Senator's respond mot
guilty" the respondents are safe.
Ii thirty-four answer guilty they are
ruined Better would it have been for
them had they never lived to bear and
transmit to their children and children 5
children the disgrace such a verdict would
heap upon them!
God grant that the verdict may be a
Just and righteous one. LLEWNAM.

THERE exists bad state of public
sentiment and morals when news
papers and people of brains and edu-
cation accept every act of their own
party as the perfection of wisdom
and right and those in opposition
denounce every act Of the party in
power as wrong. This is politics run
70 seed. We are glad to see that this
spirit is losing ground in North Caro-
lima. This is one of the first fruits of
the removal of the negro question

The Wilmington Dispatch says:

Cotton producers are called on to
meet in their counties April 9th to take
steps to reduce the cotton acreage. 1t is
the same old story. Not many people
believe that these meetings and attempts
at concerted action ever amount to much.
What will brighten some farmers into
planting less cotton. however, is the
price which the staple is commanding
now.
The Dispatch is correct. If there is
any one thing within human control
that will make certain record break
ing crop of cotton it is for the plant
ers to get together and unanimously
resolve to curtail acreage heavily.
Relying upon every other one to do
the curtailing, and thus assure a
high price every mothers son will
go straightway home and plant his
last seed Hence the biggest crop
always follows the loudest resolves
most unanimously adopted. We have
seen it tried.
But with or without the meetings
or the resolutions, the largest acreage
will this year be planted to cotton in
the history OF the South. Our farm
ers, while keeping time to this music,
can only save themselves by planting
for full food crops. Raleigh Post.
