Quite a number of cases we're
called in Judge Combs court
Saturday. This evidences the
fact that the Judge is doing what
he should. Making the people
respect the law, and become
law-abiding citizens. All we
need is a few more just such
men as the Judge and then it
will be merely question of time
until the people will quit violating
the law expecting not to be pun
ished for same. All good citizens
will stand by the Judge and as

The Governors Message.

The Legislature met at Jack
son Tuesday and received Gov
ernor Longlno message, which
taking it as a whole. was a very
able document. We admire the
liberalIty displayed in his recon-
mendatlons and trust that the
Legislature will profit by the ex-
perience of the past and display
good judgment in it's delibera-
tons. 1t has before it several
matters to deal with which are OF
vital Importance to the moral,
educational and industrial adj
yancement of the State, and in
this day of progress and pros
perity and with sufficient funds
at it's com mand we see no reason
why the Legislature should not
take advantage of the opportuni-
ty to do much good for the State
at this session. Gov. Longino
recommends liberal appropria-
ton for the experimental farms
established, and right here we
wish to call attention to a matter
that should not be overlooked.
In making their report the trus-
tees of the A. & M. College only
asked for an appropriation of
SIS, 100000 for three experimental
farms which would only give each
farm S5,000.00 each. In view of
the fact that the citizens of
Mcneil and vicinity donated at
least S5,000.00 to this farm it
would be out OF all reason and an
objectionable error on the part
of the State to give less than $751;
10000 or SIS, 100000 for it's main
tenance alone. In fact it would
show the poorest kind of judg-
ment in the State to undertake to
make a success of this institution
with S5,000.0O appropriation,
when the amount would not even
put the farm in a state of cultiva-
ton. We trust the Legislature
will consider this matter serious
ly and not act unwisely in the
matter.
Then again, it would be unap-
preciative toward these people
who have so generously donated
their money to the State without
hope of reward, only in an indi-
rect way, through the general
development of this southern
pine section. The governor will
De asked to recommend a subse-
quent appropriation for this in
stitution and we hope he will see
fit to grant the request.
The special recommendations
which will cover the subjects to
be considered and acted on by
the Legislature are as follows:
The passage of road laws that
will encourage the building of
better highways in the State.
The purchase of Beauvoir, to
be used as a home for Confeder-
ate veterans.
More liberal appropriations for
the Legislature and the State
Board of Health.
The esta blishment of a State
agricultural experimental station
in the Yazoo delta.
The creation of the Office of
State veterinarian and a live
stock sanitary board.
More liberal appropriations for
the public schools and for the
State colleges and other jnstitu-
tons of higher learning,

officers, judges and district at

FOR GREENSBORO CON.
PANlES.
New Berne Journal.

New BerGe J"uEEaI.
The Greensboro, y. G., Fire In-:r.-
alice Companies have just Won Il
notable victory over the Southeast
ern Tariff Association, which is an at
tempted monopoly seeking insurance
organization.
Some months ago the Southeastern
gave notice to insurers that their fire
rates would be advanced 25per cent
at the same time seeking for the CO.
operation OF the Greensboro Com
panles.
These companies refused to Join in
this forced insurance rate advance,
saying there was nothing to warrant
making the additional tax upon the
insurers.
The Southeastern then began a
petty warfare upon the Greensboro
companies attempting to buy up or
drive out its agents and thus get
them out Of the business.
But the Greensboro companies not
only kept in business but backed up
at home, secured so much new bust
ness, as to threaten the Southeast
ern S business, in fact has greatly re-
duced it
The end has come, and the South
eastern has been forced to-take offits
extra tax OF % per cent, in fact the
Southeastern is now in the cut rate
business, as it has besides the % per
cent, taken off 10 per cent. thus
proving the falSity OF its previous
contention, when it advanced the
rate % per cent. that the advance
was necessary to protect it against
loss.
1t was only an attempt at eXtor-
ton, because it thought itself strong
enough to carry its points, and no
insurers should be deceived by this
cut into giving up the Greensboro
companies, which have stood for the
insurer against the Southeastern
Trust Association.
The victory belongs to the Greens
bOrO Fire Insurance Companies. and
the business, all that is possible,
should be given them.

HOW WE FORGET.
New Berne Journal.

Ne" btEHp jour Hal.
While the campaign OF 1902 is over,
the political cynlc cannot but smile
i'll deriSiOn when contemplating the
reception and generous treatment
this year OF two prominent Demo-
Gratis, men who have for nearl V a
decade been the butt and scorn of
men calling themselves Democrats.
How We forget. Yet it was not
many years ago. that North Caro-
liHiduS delighted 10 show honor and
Respect to Matt W. Ransom.
And til" years have quickly passed,
when this same great North Caro-
milan, who had been sent to the
United States Senate. term after
term. was deemed unfit to sit with
the State Democracy, to take part in
its councils. or to be asked to speak
in defense OF Democratic doctrines.
But this year. the Ex-senator was
asked to come into the political
arena. to speak in his State, and the
splendid audiences he has faced, the
plaudits that have been given him,
prove that the people have ceased to
be politically blind. and recognize the
individual merit of Matt W. Ransom.
as they did before they listened to
the political harpies which proved
upon this State, during the nineties,
and forced into retirement the best
OF Democracy.
How we forget! Yet again is heard
the voice of that National Democrat.
Grover Cleveland, the only,Democrat
elected to the Presidency in forty
years.
1t was only Il few years ago that
this Democrat was pushed aside, re-
fused speech, and not even tolerated
by Il class OF alleged Democrats, who
have lefiled and ruined much that
was good OF Democracy, and used
party prestige to assist their own
ambitions for office, and failing in
this, feathered their nests with
money. secured from what they had
derided i'll public speech on the
stump.
While the political cynic cannot
but smile iii ScOrn over the receptions
given to these great Democrats, after
the years when they were set aside
for those men who sounded Demo-
crat, but who were the counterfeit
article, it is a hopeful augury for
Democracy that it again recognizes
and values the real article, and turns
away from the shams. which have
posed to represent Democracy.
1t is not only good for Democracy
that the change has come, but it is Il
hopeful sign that the better condi-
tons are i'll store for the people.

Beverage had only twenty minutes to talk
after arriving here this afternoon before
his train left for Hammond. His voice was
in bad condition and 1t seemed at first i'm
possible for him to make the immense au-
dience hear, but after five minutes his logic
and eloquence enthused the people, and
every word was heard. He touched on
most Of the questions at issue and gave
more information in twenty minutes than
most speakers would give in an hour.
He showed that this is the most prosper
Gus country on the globe and that the
Republican party is trying to deal justly
with all classes and will be able to main
tain this prosperity; that it will curb the
trusts and all other monopolies without
destroying business in general. He de-
clared that Theodore Roosevelt is man
OF deeds as well as of words, and men
of all parties can trust him and do trust
him.
Every township in the county was repre-
sented at the meeting. The Republican
outlook is unusually good. Marshall coun-
