MR.. DOLLIvER Is RIGHT.

Since the assassination Of Mr. Nc
Kinley the revulsion against anarchy
has caused some thought less people to
advocate re-enactment of the sedition
laws, and in Virginia there is sugges-
ton that the Bill of Rights guaranteeing
free speech be modified. A way to pre-
vent anarchy will be found without de-
stroying free speech. The new Republic
can Senator from Iowa in an address in
Chicago last Sunday spoke words of wis
dom when he declared:
THE Bill of Rights written in the
English language stands for too many
centuries of sacrifice, too many battle
fields sanctified by blood, too many hopes
of mankind reaching toward the ages to
come to be mutiliated in the least in
order to meet the case of a handful OF
miscreants whose names nobody can pro-
nOunce.'

BOY BURGLARS CAPTURED.
Sandy Houston and Charlie Motif Committed
to Jail.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer.)
Morganton, NJ c., Sept. 26.-Sandy
Houston and Charlie Moffitt, the two
whitc boys who, last Sunday night broke
INTO the store of the Morganton Hard :
ware Company, were captured today by
Sherin Manly Mcdowell and Chief of Po-
lice Charles Campbell. They were head
ing for Mitchell county. Mcdowell and
Campbell left here yesterday afternoon
and by travelling most of the night got
ahead OF the two boys ami waited Tor
them some miles beyond Barriers, in
Mitchell county. Houston and Mofitt
soon came along the road and were
quickly held up by the two officers and
made to give over the plumber they had
stolen. There were found in their posses
sion two shot guns six pistols, thirteen
razors and many pounds of ammunition
of all sorts, with eight dollars of the
money stolen
Notwithstanding both guns and pistols
were loaded the boys did not resist ar
rest. They were committed to Jail to-
day and the goods and money turned over
to the, Morganton Hardware Company.
Sheriff Mcdowell and Chief of Police
Campbell deserve all praise for the quick
and skillful way in which they effected
the capture.
1t has turned out to be a false re-
port that Robert Snipes, the man who
shot and killed John Britain in the
South Mountains several days ago, had
been captured in Knoxville. 1t is re-
ported today that he was seen in Nc
Dowell county yesterday. Officers are
after him.

THE COTTON CROP.

The cotton crop in North Carolina is
going to be very short. One of the best
posted cotton buyers in the city of Raj
eigh said yesterday that the crop in
Wake county would not exceed fifty per
cent. 1t is believed that the Wake crop
is an average, being much better than
that in Arson and not SO good as that
in Pitt county. The Cleveland Star says
OF the crop in that section:
1.-The cotton crop is going to be alarm
ingly short, if present indications count
for ANYTHING. Cotton is slow in opening
and the hulls of the bolls are thick and
the lint small, the result of the long con-
tinued wet weather. Cotton ought to
bring ten cents if governed by the crop
outlook in this section"
The large cotton plants have deceived
many who think the crop will be large
because the rain made rank growth.
When that mistake finds it's way into
the official reports, it will probably be
seen that the shortness of the crop war
rants an increase in the price.
In Mecklenburg, as in most other sec
tions of the State, there will be no top
crop this year. The Charlotte News
says:
MIR. r.. G. Graham informs The News
that the recent cold weather has played
havoc with the tOp-crop cotton. Inc
bolls look blistered and are dropping
off. You can say remarked Mr.. Ora
ham, that our people will make no top
crop this year.

QUITE A DIFFERENCE.

When the Legislature last winter was
engaged in an honest effort to secure
fair assessment of corporate and other
property there was opposition from two
sources: /. Those who believed, from
reading false reports sent out in certain
yellow journals, that an attempt was
being made by which excessive taxes
were to be imposed and a vexatious and
inquisitoriaI system put in operation;
and 2. those who had been defrauding
the State and counties by false returns.
The first class, seeing that their fears
were based upon false information, has
now come to appreciate the great service
rendered the State by the men who
wrote the revenue law of 1901, and are
willingly paying the just and moderate
increase of taxes imposed by reason of
the adoption of modern methods of tax
alton. The second class seem still able
to avoid paying taxes upon a fair vaiu-
alton as the following from the Chatham
Record shows:
There is an amazing difference SONY
times between the valuation OF property
when listed for taxation and when re-
ported to a mercantile agency as basis
for credit.
1.-THE most astonishing difference in
such valuations recently came to the
knowledge of this writer. certain
corporation recently organized in this
State reported it's property to mercan-
tile agency as being worth 100000 and
yet this same property is assessed for
taxation at valuation of $4,000.
