THE DISTILLERIES MUST GO.

A letter from a leading citizen in
Randolph-an influential Democratic
leader-says: 1.-THE people of this coun-
ty, at least two to one, endorse the plan
outlined by the News nd Observer of
securing the enactment of law prevent
ing the manufacture of whiskey except
in Incorporated towns ha wing a popula-
ton of over 500. The people of Ran
dolph do not allow any saloons, but the
distilleries are rapidly destroying our
young men and we cant OF wait much
longer. We are going to drive the hell
ish machines out of our county
hope you will continue to urge your
plans and see if the people will not be-
come aroused on this all I'm ortant sub
iect"
1t is a matter of establishment, when
we reflect upon it, that during all the
years the State has ena cted stringent
regulations governing saloons, and has
permitted any man, anywhere, at any
time, to run a whiskey still without
regulation, license, police supervision, or

Politics and Politicians.

The Lincolnton Journal comes out in an
editorial advocating the election of Judge
w. A. Hoke as United States Senator to
succeed Hon. j. c. Pritchard. After re-
viewing his career on the bench, as to
his qualifications for positions of state,
the Journal says:
"While we do not depreciate the value
of any of the other men who seek to
be Senator, we think the State would find
in Judge Hoke the statesman, devoid of
all sectional bias, and a Christian gen
tleL,an, eminently qualified to occupy
this high position. There can be no
mistake by settling this struggle by
nominating and electing Judge Hoke. He
would carry into this new field of action

him as one of the most eminent jurists

THE CORRECT POLICY.
CHAM Anglo Saxon.

Rockingham Anglo-Saxon.
Senator Simmons has given his APP
prevail to the plan of handling the liquor
question which the News and Observer
has been advocating ever since the cleo
ton, to-wit: Prohibit the sale or man
ufacture of whiskey anywhere in the
State, except in incorporated towns where
there is ample police protection. This
would do away with all country distil-
leries. Make the distilleries and
bars which are left, yield the highest
possible revenue. Amend the law
so that any incorporated town can vote
on the question Of bar rooms, dispensary
or prohibition once in every two years.
1t is quite probable that the next Legis-
lature will deal with the whiskey ques-
ton substantially as outlined above.

oUTsPoKEN AND ADMIRABLE POLICY

Charity and Children
We were quite delighted to read in
the News and Observer of last Sunday,
strong, courageous and timely editorial
on temperance legislation. We endorse
it every word and we hope it will be
deeply pondered by our representatives.
elect. Several practical suggestions are
made, one of which is that the manufac-
ture as we'll as the sale of liquor be
regulated The little whiskey stills
which abound are poisoning the neigh
borhood where they do their dirty work,
and are really more hurtful than open
bar-rooms would be. Another excellent
suggestion is that in prohibition COM
munities the anti-iug law. better known
as the Duplin law, be enacted. This stops
the express company from pouring for
eign whiskey into territory where the
good people are in the majority. There
are other wise suggestions made which
our law makers will do well to carefully
consider AS a citizen of North Carolina
we thank the News and Observer for
it's outspoken and admirable policy on
this tremendous issue. There are fam
atics on our side, and if they get in
control they will ruin everything. We
want to do what we can do, rather than
what we wish might be done. If the
Legislature will be brave and true it will
give us a law that in few years will
destroy the legalized liquor traffic root
and branch. And may God guide them
in this great task!

For some time past Bohn has been resid-

working at the boilermaker's trade. His
present malady began several months ago.
After his days work Bonn would complain

ROOSEVELT AGAINST SCHLEY
Gives ar Adverse Decision on
the Admiral's Appeal.
REFUSES THE CREDIT TO SCHLEY
Says the Great Fight Was 6
Captains Battle.


Washington, Feb 10. president
Roosevelt has decided that Rear Adj
miral Schley was not in command OF
the American feet at the battle of
Santiago. In his decision on the Schley
appeal, published today, he says Samp-
son S blockade, foresight and directions
made possible the victory, but declares
that the question of which was in
command is merely of nominal charac-
ter Technically, he says, Sampson
was in command Of the fleet, and
Schley, as usual, Of the western di-
vision.
The important fact, the President
declares. is that latter the battle was
Joined not helm was shifted, not u
gun was fired, not a pound of steam
was put on in the engineroom aboard
any ship actively engaged, in obedience
to the order Of either Sampson or
Schley. save on their own vessels. 1t
was captains fight. :"
AS to the loop, the President says it
was in tact the one grave mistake
made by any American ship that day. "
Admiral Schley, he asserts, is entitled
to the credit of what the Brooklyn did
that day, but he says he agrees with
the unanimous finding Of the court
that condemns the loop, declaring that
if the Brooklyn was placed in greater
danger by continuing her course, 50
also was the Spanish fleet, and "tEis
kind of danger, " the President says,
must not be too closely weighed by
those whose trade it is 10 Care greater
for the honor of the flag.
While the Brooklyn and the Oregon
are given credit for the destruction of
the Colon, the President finds that the
Iowa certainly, and the Texas, seem
ingly, did as much in hammering''
to a standstill the Viscaya, Oquendo
and Teresa. And in this connection,
after an analysis of the action, the
President asserts that of the 40 large
calihre shots which struck the three
Spanish fighting ships, III certainly
came from the Iowa. y
Of Schley's movements previous to
the battle, the President says he erred
in the retrograde movement, and "his
disobcdience Of orders and misstate-
ments of facts" but that it seems if
Schley's actions were censurable they
have been condoned, but he should not
have been left second in command by
Sampson.
The decision, Mr.. Roosevelt says, is
based on a careful pefusal of all the
evidence before the court, and upon
statements made by captains in the
fight, most of whom say they con
sidered Sampson present and in com
mainland two OF whom say they would
have taken no orders from Schley.
As to the Justice or injustice done
by President Mckinley in recommend
ing Sampson for advance over Schley,
the President expresses the opinion
that nothing but Justice was done. but
goes on to say that Capt. Clark should
have been rewarded to as great an OK.
tent as Wainwright, who, he says, is
entitled to greater reward than any
other, and concludes this paragraph by
saying that neither Sampson nor Schley
did anything in battle which warranted
! any unusual reward for either.
