AS Mr. McLaurin uttered the last
sentence of his address, intimating that

sitting near Mr.. McLaurin urged him to

II will refrain then, Mr.. President, :"
said Mr.. McLaurin.
AS he resumed his seat he made an
effort to compose himself as if to dispel
any fear on the part of those about him
that it might have been his intention to
precipitate further disturbances by any
comments.

Less Fanaticism and More Good
Sense.
buckingham Anglo Saxon. !


TIE movement recently started on foot
against the whiskey evil by the organi-
cation OF the North Carolina Anti-Saloon
League has less Of fanaticism and more
of good sense in it than we have before
seen manifested in a movement Of this
kind. It promises that we are going to
have another contest waged against in
temperance in the state, and it promises
that it viii be waged With more good
sense and federation for honest opinions
and differences than have been before
manifested in such movements. They
say:
1--WE hope 10 keep the fanatics, God
bless their hearts, lighting in their own
way in the ranks, because they are too
valuable material as soldiers to waste in
any official capacity"
That's neatly put, to be sure. The pro-
fessiona1 temperance agitator is usually
| the most Incorporate thing in forty
miles of him. who wonders that hell
doesn't open UP and take in at once all
who do not entirely agree with him. The
whisky traffic is certainly a great evil
| and one that needs to be worked out in
! good sober reason. and not in the white
| heat of passion and hatred. We are glad
| to believe that these good people are
starting out in the proper way. and that
| there is good work they can do b.
continuing in it.

The Giving of Tips.

/ Tips were always out of harmony
with the independence and self respect
of true Americans. Good pay for good
work, with no unearned gratuities, in
hotels, restaurants and everywhere else
should be the custom. Tips are degrad-
ing both to givers and receivers, and
the whole system Of tipping is unsound
and inexcusable. 1t cannot endure.
i No club of any real distinction and
Importance permits the giving of tips
within its jurisdiction, and the prac-
ltice of distributing gifts for services
which have been amply and even gen.
lerously re,nunerated has no basis
which is wise and wholesome. Never
yet has there been an argument IN
