WANTS STREETS KEPT CLEAN
City Engineer Calls Police Chiefs
Attention TO Some Dead Let
ter Ordinances.

81 sec that the chief Of police Is prepar-
ing to enforce the ordinance against expec-
t~orating on steps and approaches to build
ings. etc." said City Engineer Rosewater.
THAT is all very well, but there are other
ordinances that are now virtually dead let
tiers so far as police regulation Is concerned
which could be enforced to better advan-
tage. For example, there is the ordinance
against the hauling Of garbage through the
streets in vehicles that leak and strew the
refuse along the pavements. What is the
use Of our sweeping the streets II they are
to be Uttered up in this way? Then there
is the ordinance against dumping store
sweepings in the cutters, and against dump
ing weeds cut from lots in the residence
districts in the streets, to be swept into the
catch basins and clog the sewers.
The ordinance against hauling garbage
through the streets in vehicles imperfectiy
constructed for the purpose has never been
declared invalid by the courts. It Is still in
force, but It is not enforced. The courts
have always held that the hauling Of garb-
age must be subjected TO regulations, that 1T
may not become a public nuisance. l think
It will be we'll enough to regulate expecto-
rating after some OF these more serious
matters have been regulated"
An ordinance against expectorating on
sidewalks, on stairways, steps, approaches
to buildings, in street cars, ETC., was passed
by the city council about nine years ago.,
but was afterwards amended by eliminating
the word sidewalks. All the remainder Of
the ordinance is still in force.

COAL OUT OF SIGHT
Local Supply Nearly Exhausted and No
Prospect Of Renewal.
EFFECTS OF STRIKE GENERALLY FELT
Mine Owners Expect TO Deal with
Public as Arbitrarily ms with
Miners and Outlook is Not
Encouraging

The anthracite coal supply in Omaha is
becoming so short that jobbers have In
some instances been compelled to refuse
wholesale orders, and the reports from the
coal fields are by no means reassuring.
This week a local iobber received an order
for two cars of hard coal for immediate
delivery at a point on the Burlington road,
and not having sufficient stock on hand
to supply the demand sent the order TO
his Chicago correspondent. The answer to
that letter has just been received and
Is to the effect that the house would have
10 refuse the order as It had not sufficient
local to supply its regular customers. This
company controls forty-nine collierles in
1.-THE anthracite district of Pennsylvania and
1.-THE manager writes that it's shipping docks
IN Chicago are empty; that the supply in
Pennsylvania is low and that all 1t has
control Of is what is enroute from the
,nelds to Chicago.
The manager adds: "There seems to be
lno new Information about the strike; both
IEides are evidently determined in their
position and IT seems to be a test Of endur-
lance. No one, SO far as l have been able
10 ascertain, has the slightest idea when
the trouble will be adjusted"
Local situation DiscOuraRinR.
9 Locally the visible supply has been re-
iduced by sales to consumers who have de-
cided to lay in their fall supply at present
prices. The rule adopted last spring as to
the wholesale price of hard coal is still In
force, which makes a low price in April
in Chicago, advancing by stages OF 10 cents
a month per ton until September. Local
dealers believe that after September 1 the
miners will make a decided advance and
say that they would not be surprised to
see the wholesale price go TO IS in Chicago
by October 1. That price in Chicago would
mean at least $12 per ton in Omaha and
maybe the price would go to $3.50. But
1t Is not so much a question
Of price as of supply. One
Omaha house which ordered 10, 900 tons last
spring for immediate delivery received
5000 tons, and the mining company now
writes that it will be impossible to deliver
the remainder until the mines resume. This
mining company, while refusing to deliver
orders, is taking them for future delivery
and announces a rule which II generally fol-
lowed will work a hardship on many COM
muaities. 1t says that as soon as opera
tions are resumed at the mines It will fill
orders in the order received, regardless of
quantity. AS som Of the Jobbers have made
large orders It is believed that this COM
pany will be so filled up with orders that 1t
will be unable to supply the trade which
follow this rule communities whose dealers
are backward about sending in orders will
be compelled to run on a short supply.

AN INTERESTING PAST OF A
NEWSPAPER.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
We referred briefly to the enter
prise of the Raleigh News amt Observer
in its excellent Charleston Exposition
edition, which was costly and in every
way to its credit. 1t has issued y
half-dozen other illustrated editions
of important events and practical
movements. We like to see such
well directed energy and effort and
it deserves to be fully recognized on
the part Of the press. Mr.. Josephus
Daniels, editOrin-ch of the NeUS
md Observer and president of the
publishing company, makes two
column and half address on the oc
cason of the completion of the
twenty-sixth year of the paper. He
states that the first year the new
management lost 5000. The paper
is now prospecting as it richly de-
serves to be, for it has stood four
square by the Democratic party amid
all departures, and has upheld and
defended the principles set forth in
national conventions with distin-
guished fervor and ability. 1t has
| done much and deserves richly the
support OF the unwavering Democ
racv. Mr. Daniels in his interesting
review Of its past history and work.
well pays his excellent COW orkers a
| fitting tribute and acknowledgment.
We make an interesting extract:
| 1t is not egotism for this writer to say
| that never i'll the history of North Caro-
lima has any paper done so much to earn
the gratitude of the people as the News
and Observer during the four years OF
| Fusion rule. We say this without ego
tism, because the best part of that work
was done by four brilliant and able
newspaper men who are not now on the
staff OF this paper-Messrs VIM f. Chris
tan, Fred l.. Merritt, f. b. Arendell and
John Wilbur Jenkins. The detective
work ascertained and exposed the ma
clinations of the Fusion leaders; the
| brilliant stories that astOunded, startled
and aroused the honest Indignation OF
the whole State; the ridicule. the satire
the denunciation OF the public men who
We're disgracing the good name of the
Commonwealth, causing Chine among
the worst element and bringing appre
hension of harm in every home--how
well this work was done by men who
inspired We're by devotion to good gov
ernment,is Il part of the history-and 8
bright part-of that dark era in North

CAPT. CRGCKER FOR THE LEGISLATURE
Friends of This Gentleman Present
His Claims for Recognition by the
Democracy of Vance.

MIR. EDIToR:-l truStyOu will allow me
space to say Il few things regarding a
gentleman that Middleburg township
will present to the county convention for
the nomination to the House of Repre-
sentatlves. Our candidate, Mr. l.. II.
CrOcker. is too well known to the public
OF Vance county to need special encOmi-
ums at our hands He will command a
very strong support among the old Con
federateS as well as many others who do
not agree with certain politicians of I'M
savory record who announced that 1.-The
Confederate soldier had played out" He
Is a man OF strong convictions of right
and justice. and, if elected. has the ability
to do something. As u friend and neigh
Dor for many years We bear willing test.
mony to his blameless life.
Now few reasons why Middeburg
township thinks that she is entitled to
this nomination. Ever since reformation
OF Vance county this township has made
valiant fight for Democracy against
great odds. and during the last and
memorable campaign when no decided
stand had been taken in the county. our
township stepped boldly to the front and
sounded clarion note that was heard
through the county and struck terror to
the enemies of white supremacy. During
all these years We have seen the majority
OF offices go to other parts of the county
without murmuring, but we do insist
that without disparagement to anyone
We have the man for the place and we
trust the people OF the county will give
him hearty support.
Very respectfully.

CAPT. SHAW FOR SOLICITOR.
His Claims and Fitness Strongly Pre-.

Correspondence Raleigh Post.

Correspondence Raleigh Post.
1t would be hard to find within the
bounds of the Fourth District a man
better fitted by nature and by train
ing to fill the important Office of State
solicitor that Capt. W. b. Shaw, OF
Henderson. He is naturally man
OF great ability and a most forceful
and effective speaker. This coupled
with more than twenty-five years
practice at the bar, has made him one
of the soundest, best equipped and
safest lawyers in North Carolina.
Then he has moral qualities which
peculiarly tit him for this office. He
is fearless man, an upright and a
downright one. He would do his
whole duty without fear or favor.
The interest of the State would be
entirely safe in his hands. l do not
believe that there is a man who knows
him who would not concur in what
have said.
In presenting this gentleman's
name for any Office within the gift OF
the Democracy Of North Carolina it
should suffice simply to say that he
will accept it; for his services to the
party and to the good people OF the
State have been great and long con-
tinued. For more than a quarter OF
century his eloquence, his powerful
logic, his practical knowledge OF
political affairs have been at their
command. Wherever the lines waver-
cd there went w. b. Shaw. restoring
courage and confidence. 1t may look
| far away and not so important now.
1t was a serious matter then when
the hosts OF Rspublicanism sncom'
passed us SO closely, threatening thu
States destruction.
Than he doubt if any son Of NORTH
Carolina has done as much in her de-
tense with as little recognition. Jus
tce demands that be no longer b.
overlooked. Though now in the full
plenituds of his powers, he has reach
ed the age in which he can less affor'
to wait than younger men. The Stat
should avail herself of the ability o
her sons in the unimpaired ripenes
Of their respective powers, awarding
to each the duty for which b
is best fitted and awarding it oppor
tunely.
That this be done in this case is =
that the friends of w. B. Shaw as
or desire.

VERDICT IN THE WILCOX CASE
Gives General Satisfaction ia Eliza.
beth City.

In special dispatch to the Char
lotte Observer, dated March 23rd, the
day after the verdict was reached in
the Wilcox case, Mr. H. E. G. Bryant,
staff representative who reported the
trial for that paper, says:
The town has been very quiet since
the Jury in the Wilcox case rendered
it's verdict last night. The streets
were cleared of people by midnight
and there has been but little inclina-
ton to discuss the case today. Peo-
pie are tired of it, and it has demor-
allied business Almost everybody
appears satisfied with the verdict.
Some few expected a verdict Of muir
der in the second degree. The
prisoner is unchanged. His keeper,
Charles Reid. says he has not alluded
to the matter today. He seems
slightly depressed.
COX'S CASE Is DISPOSED OF.
BY Associated Press.
Elizabeth City, n. c., March %
The verdict that young Wilcox was
guilty OF the murder OF Miss Nellie
Cropsev seems to have met popular
approval, though it was not con-
sidered probable, early yesterday
that the jury would SO report. Dis
trct Attorney Ward said yesterday
that he never looked for any verdict
other than murder in the second
degree. Lawyer Aydlett, for the de-
Tense, will enter an appeal on behalf
of the prisoner. He will seek to SCI
aside the verdict on the ground thai
it was not consistent with the eVi
dence bought out in the trial. There
is little prospect of the prisoner pay
ing the death penalty on the day Sc
by Judge Jones.
A. the Supreme Court does no
meet until September, it is more thar
probable that it will be twelv
months before the case is disposed o
finally.
