RAISING REVENUE.

Various suggestions are belngmade
as to the best way OF raising enough
revenue for carrying OH our State
government. The subject of taxation
is always Il difficult and troublesome
one, and Just now it is more so than
usual. 1t matters not what may be
done there will be some criticism and
dissatisfaction The Legislature
should carefully consider the whole
matter and do that which may APP
pear the most fair and Just, regard
less of criticisms and complaints.
And while our Legislators are
carefully considering the best way of
raising revenue, they should also
very closely scrutinize all appropriate
tiOns and see what expenses can be
reduced or abolished. \ reduction
in expenses may render unnecessary
much increase in sborO
Record
The question should not be so
much how to raise more revenue as
how to keep down expenses. We
would not have the Legislature pur-
sue niggardly policy toward any
laudablc object or institution but no
raid should be made upon the Treas
urv by eNtravagant appropriations
no matter for what purpose and by
whom inStigated.

USEFUL LIFE.

The top O. the morning to Col. K.
b. Creecy, editor OF the Elizabeth
CITY Economist, who is today 80
years of age and probably the Oldest
editor now in active service III the
country. The activity Of this Nestor
Of the Tar Heel press is indeed re-
markable. He has for perhaps a
longer time than it is given most
men to live welded his pen in the de-
fence of what he considers best for
his State and section. Since the time
when he was what the world calls "a
young man. mOmentOus things
have come to pass. Think OF 1t.
When this honorable old gentleman
was % years of age there was not a
telegraph wire in the land, a modern
railroad train was doubtless hardly
dreamed of, and the greater part OF
this land of ours was q virgin forest.
Many are the agencies OF civilization
this man has seen come forth in the
gradual expansion of the world $
knowledge and development. When
he had reached that age when one IS
supposed to be in his prime Col.
Creccv saw one of the greatest con-
ficts in the worlds history. In the
years following this bloody chapter
in America he lived through the re-
construction period and during these
dark days, memory OF which Will
never fade from those who were then
living, he was active in efforts to
stem the tide OF corruption which
threatened to entirely Overrun the
South. He also saw the light break,
however, and today, since other dit
ficulties have been overcome, he can
look upon his STATEN the enjoyment
of perhaps the best day she has ever
seen. 1t is given to few men, and no
tably few editors, to find their useful
ness so extended, and that Col.
Creecy may live to see his State at
tain even greater things and continue
his usefulness to her citizens will be
the wish of many North Carolinians
today.

To those who have noticed the
utter disregard that chronic evil
doors have for our punitive laws this
does not appear so far-fetched or ir-
rcvelant, as the criminal statutes do
not seem to be sufficiently deterrent
to this class OF people, but that the

vors unqualifiedly the return to the

tract from that paper will show:
1t is said that bill, which will pass,
will be introduced in the Virginia L"gis-
lature to revive the whipping post. Why
not in North Carolina? Theving fingers
would then shrink from petty larcency
as the human hide shrnks from the
whrring lash OF correction, welded by
