Lumberton.

One of the largest gatherings which has
ever assembled at Lumberton met at the
Methodist church on Friday evening, the
occasion being a rally to receive the
recently appointed pastor, Rev. D. Everett
WAINWRIGHT. In order that the pastor
would not suspect the nature of the even
ing's exercises the early portion of the pro
gram was conducted by the members of
the Junior League.
When Mr.. VanDright was called forward
to receive handsome bouquet it was evil
dent that he was indeed surprised The
flowers were presented by Miss Rachel NJ.
Oatman, daughter of the well known
hymn writer, Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr
AS the flowers were presented Miss Dat
man recited an original poem, to which
the recipient feelingly responded.
Hardly had the pa stor returned to his
seat when he was again called forward to
receive reading lamp. gift from the
Epworth League societies, which was pre-
scented by Miss Edna A. Parker. Follow
ing this Mr.. Oatman, on behalf of the
church, fittingly spoke of the great things
which the people of this charge hoped to
accomplish this year. As he closed his
remarks he handed the pastor silver nap
kin ring, which was appropriately en-
graved Ar. VanDright responded with
much feeling and said he hoped to meet

GovEnNoR MURPHY has vetoed the bill

GOVERNOR MURPHY has vetoed the bill
providing for the publication of the laws
in the newspapers. The appropriation
bill contained an item of 1000 for this
purpose, and this the Governor erased
when the bill came to him for his sigma
ture. He is reported to have given as a
reason for this action that he feared ap
prevail would lead to unwarranted ex-
travagance and that the old system of
printing the laws would soon be in vogue
again, entailing an annual expense of
from $4,000 to 800, 900. There is no
doubt that this fear was well grounded.
The experience Of the past proves that,
yet the present Governor as well as those
to come would always have this point
under control as well as at the present
time-the power of veto will always pre-
vail. 1t is very certain that the present
method Of distributing the laws is more
beneficial to the junk heap than to the
public. Ignorance of law is no defence,
but no pains are taken to prevent that
ignorance. There were other items in
the appropriation bill which might have
received the dash of the blue pencil, but
somehow they escaped. There was an
item of $4,000 for enlargement of the
state house and grounds and for the pur-
chase of an executive mansion. If this
amount stopped right here it would not
be SO bad. but it is understood that it is
to be duplicated next year, and of course
there will have to be annual appropria-
tons for the maintenance of these grounds
and mansion. This may be warranted
extravaganza" but we fail to see where it
viii in any way enlighten or educate the
people.

Ir. o. u. A. M. Lose Suit.

Chancellor Magic on Thursday filed a
memorandum in the suit of the National
Council of the Junior Order United Amer
lean Mechanics of the United States of
North America VS.. The State Council of
the Junior Order United American Me-
chanics OF the State of New Jersey ct al.
in which d motion to set aside was dis
missed.
The suit has been In the court since last
April The cause of the action was the
levying OF a per capita tax by the nation
al council, and the suit brought by that
body was to restrain the state organiza-
ton from making any payment or dispo-
sition of the tax except to the complain
ant The petition of the state organiza-
tion was based upon the grounds that the
national council contemplated diverting
the tax received to uses which had never
been officially defined and approved.
The chancellor holds that this is true,
but that it does not exonerate the state
council from paying the funds, as here
tofore, under agreement with the national
council.
The memorandum continues: eff there
has been no actual alteration of the OBJ
jects of the order, as expressed in the con-
stitution of 1897, an application to enjoin
complainant from devoting the funds of
the order to purpose not within these
objects would not be successful upon mere
proof that it has attempted to alter the
constitution in an unauthorized and there
fore ineffective way.
ut mast further appear that the COM
plainant has taken steps, or threatened to
take steps, to devote the funds collected,
or some part thereof, to an object to
which II had no right to devote them.
IF defendants may interpose as an ex-
cuse for not performing their obligation
to pay over the tax collected under the
levy in question, the purpose of complain
ant to devote these moneys to an unau-
thorized object, the like measure Of proof
is necessary.
1.-THE answer fails to make such case.
The averments of the answer. in this re-
spect, are that the complainant has adopt
ed code for an insurance branch and has
appropriated money for its establishment,
but they are made solely upon informa
ton ard belief Such proof would not
justify restraint of the complainant, and
/ do not think it should prevail to relieve
the defendants of the restraining order,
which was properly issued upon the bill
and its affidavits."

LAST winters storms were quite dam
aging to stone roads, being especially Sc
we're on those constructed the previous
summer. The old roads did not escape
bad effects Of the pelting storms, and re-
pairs were necessary in many places.
Among the new roads that were damaged
was that between Smithville and Mount
Holly. The rain and snow caused water
to run across the road with such force that
the top portion of the road was washed
out and the larger stones were laid bare,
making travelling great discomfort. This
condition was allowed to rest for some
time and then the contractor looked after
affairs and did what we suppose he calls
repairing, but which up to the present
time consists in throwing some sand over
the road and running roller over it.
The road has been accepted by the
county, consequently the supervisor has
been dismissed and as the board of free
holders does not seem to care to comply
with the law requiring a county super
visor the work of repairing was done
In such manner as seemed to suit the con-
tractor. The usual percentage of the
cost Of construction has been retained but
In all probability this will be handed over
without murmur when the time limit
has expired. 1t is perfectly safe to assert
that If county supervisor was in power
or IT the supervisor who had charge of
the road while under construction was
still in authority the road would receive
very different attention from what it
did get. There should be decided
action in this case Thorough investiga-
ton should be made and if the road is
being neglected and the contractor will
not do what is required the county should
engage another road builder and pay him
from the amount retained on the original
contract.

THERE was an effort at the last session
OF the Legislature to secure the passage
OF bill to make live pigeon shooting
matches illegal. Assemblyman Wright,
OF this county. was very earnest in be-
half of the measure but it failed to be.
come law. Speaking of one of these oc.
currences, the Philadelphia Press says:
What was satirically called the Grand
American Handicap Shoot at Kansas CITY
is over, and as result $4,000 birds are
dead. The statement that women would
take part In the match and compete for
the prizes proved to be true, but this in.
stead of mitigating the slaughter in any
sense only added to its responsiveness. 1t
was-the most direct proof that could have
been given of the demoralizing effects Of
such exhibitions on the public mind.
Five Chicago clergymen made special
trip to Kansas City in order to witness the
so-called match and then from their pull.
pits last Sunday denounced in the most
scathing terms the butchery of the tame
and helpless pigeons. One of them de.
clared that the exhibition was more de.
grading than the bullfghts of Mexico and
Spain. A second minister insisted that
the shooting was an illustration of what
men would do when once their brute ma
ture is aroused. The verdict of a third
minister was that the match was a sting
ing indictment of every minister, every
Christian and every law -abiding citizen in
the land. A fourth minister's opinion
was that the match was not sport but as
sassination. And the fifth minister
thought that the Christian people of the
whole country ought to make themselves
heard and put an end to the barbarism.
1.-The verdicts of these ministers will be
accepted as correct by large majority of
the intelligent people of the country.
Such affairs are relics of barbarism. They
brutalize and demoralize public sentiment
and disgust and revolt every right-think-
ing person. New York state has put an
end to such exhibitions by law New
Jersey came near taking the same step
Next winter nearly all the State Legisla-
lures will be in session and an earnest eff
fort should be made in each one of them
to make the shooting of tame pigeons ct
matches crime punishable by both fine
and Imprisonment"
