Talking About Fishin'

To the Editor: The fishermen in and
around Louisburg pin their faith to the
white club and the red eye club. The
latter is caught in the running streams,
while the white club is caught both in
running stream and in the ponds. Capt.
w. H. Peasants says that the red eye
club is the "top notcher' i'll fishdom. and
that properly prepared there is nothing
beyond, and his opinion seems to be that
of all the Waltonians hereabouts.
Rufe Horton used to say that he could
make all the round fish meat that might
be wanted-all that was required, accord
ing to his view, was one pound of yellow
cotton, one pound of river mud, one pound
of Baltimore side meat, all ground up
fine and a pint of shoe pegs added before
cooking. The writer has never tried any
OF this compound but he passes the recipe
along.
Clifton Cheatham, who is somewhat OF a
fisherman, was telling of rather exas
perating experience he had recently. He
had been fishing in Moores pond and
was fishing in boat close to him had a
sbIIhC' III was dG once seen JIldI the llSn
was fine one as he turned the boat
around as if it were hung on a pivot
After a game fight the fish was landed and
beauty it was, a white club which
measured rs inches in length and was
eight inches broad and weighed eight
pounds and was, he said, the finest fish
he ever saw caught with hook. The ex-
asperatlng part was that he continued to
fish, "chub along" as they locally express
1t at Moore's pond, but mary" a fish rose
to his bait.
During the spring months the rocks be-
low the river dam at Louisburg are usual
ly utilized by one or more fishermen
They are conveniently close and are con-
sldered good fishing places and some fine
strings of fish have been caught there

THE ETHICS OF THE LEGAL PRO.
FESSION.

In its issue of July 9Th, the paper,
taking as a text the report that certain
houor dealers had said they would "re-
tain lawyers to conduct the campaign
against the dispensary" we undertook to
show that such employment was unpro-
fesslonal. We adverted to the fact that,
While the great body of the legal pro-
fesslon held to the ancient honorable Gus
tens of that noble profession, it could not
be denied that there are men who have
law license who, under the guise of legal
service, take pay for managing campaigns
and other work that bears no relation
ship whatever to professional advice or
professional service. Some young men
have drlfted into such unprofessional con-
duct thoughtlessly They need to see that
they are dIshonoring their profession. older
men, who put the dollar above devotion
to the ethics of their profession. need to
be made to understand that the public and
the profession will not tolerate such abuse
OF the privilege of their law license.
No editorial has appeared in this paper
IN months that has been SO generally com
mended. Most of the letters of common
dation have come from high minded law
yers who are panied at the conduct of
, unworthy members of their profession
One of the first lawyers in the State. who
has worn the judicial ermine with credit
TO himself and honor to the State, in a
private letter impresses so clearly the
truth We were trying to emphasize that
we take the liberty of quoting it below.
He writes:
Your editorial on the Ethics of the
Legal Profession is both timely and wise
! 1t strikes the keynote OF a sentiment
which prevails largely among the intelh-
gent and thinking men of the State. Half
century and less ago, what would have
been thought Of Badger, Moore, Miller
Perrin Busbee, Bragg, Battle, Smith,
lStrong and a score of other distinguished
gentlemen of the Wake bar whose names
and tame are unfaded in our memories, if
they had come down from an elevated
plane to accept a lawyers fee to conduct
and manage political, or dispensary cam
palgn, or to create and manufacture an
outside public sentiment about a case to
| be tried Ill court, or to promote political
or personal booms, or to seek ..rectly or
indirectly to unduly control jurymen OF
pack juries? What would have been the
thoughts and feelings Of any lawyer who
might have engaged IN one or more OF
these practices upon entering the bar, dur
ing the sitting of court, adorned by gen.
tlemcn of such high standard Of profes
sional horror?

rs UNLAWFUL.

Senator Tillman says that members of
Congress are "loaded down with free
passes" TIE Inter State Commerce act
forbids free passes under a penalty of
mot less than 81 900 nor more than $5,-
00O." The North Carolina statute, which
our courts enforce, is a verbatim copy
of the United States statute. Why is it
that no Federal District Attorney takes
steps to enforce the United States law?
Do Federal Judges and District Attorneys
accept these favors? Any member of Con-
gress, Judge or other public officer who
takes them violates his oath to "obey the
Constitution and laws of the United
States.
The fact that Senator Tillman has, with
the others, violated the law, has caused
this matter to be ventilated in the press.
Mr.. Tillman is no worse and no better
than his colleagues If the incident will
call for cessation of this unlawful and
demoralizing practise it will do much
good.

of evil than he did good. The pendulum
is now swinging between the extremes,
having reached the golden mean of re-
curing ministers of the gospel to learn
the lesson that if they have a truth to
deliver they must present it in a way to
catch the ear of the people and hold their
interest.
A preacher once asked Edwin Booth
how it was that great crowds went to
hear him preach the eternal truth. ut IS
because, said Booth, 81 act fiction as if
it were the living truth and you preach
the truth as if it were mere fiction The
need of the hour in the pulpit is for men
who will preach the gospel-the old-fash-
toned gospel with the skill, the power,
the matchless ability of great actor
who throws himself into the character he
assumes. There is nothing today that at
tracts men in such multitudes as when
great preacher proclaims the riches of
the gospel. And he need not be a pro-
found scholar or theologian either. At
the Chicago Exposition, greater crowds
attended the revival services held nightly
by Mr. Moody than any single other place
OF public instruction or amusement open
IN Chicago. Some people called him "sen-
SafiOnal''-and cenCa tionat no WAC in tho
sense that man must create a sensation
who vitalizes the gospel by his tremen-
dous earnestness and living faith. In a
community where men and women accept
the gospel because it is the respectable
thing to do but whose lives are not in
any way different from the lives of those
who do not belong to any church-among
such people Mr.. Moody's clarion call to
higher living would be apt to create
something OF sensation, and therefore to
be called sensational. When Wesley call
ed the Journalists 10 awake out of dead
ritualism, he was called preacher of
sensation. The need of the world today
is sensational preachers of the type of
Knox, Wesley, Moody, Sturgeon men
who will not preach to empty benches,
men who will not talk of creeds to diving
sinners, men who will declare the whole
counsel OF God, men who will "cry aloud
ana spare not" and will use every proper
art to attract and hold the attention of
their fellow men. If a portion of the world
calls them sensationalists in the pulpit.
so much the worse for the men who TINS
turn deaf ear to the call of the gospel
But to return to the Sensational
talk OF Prof John Bower. It must have
been breezy, convincing and full of pow
er, for we are told that at the conclu-
sion collection was taken up for the
preacher and that every one present con-
tributed." If Prof. Bower can by short
sensational talk produce that result. we
oplne there is not church that would
not welcome such sensationalism. In
these parts 1t Is said that the mere sug-
gestion of collection throws GOODNESS

And here Is a pretty How'd e-do. The
Anglicans are dissatisfied with the new
Educational Bill because it does not give
them as much power as they thought. The
Dissenters are making the law odious by
their passive resistance, at least some OF
them are. But Lord Halifax writes that
within five years the Church will have
lost half her schools in Lancashire and
gives as the reason the fact that ''The
militant Dissenter has managed to seIze
the Craftsmanship of more than half the
educational authorities in this district, and
to fill the administrative places with what
may call 'busy-bodies'." Good for both
kinds of Dissenters, those who won't pay
unjust taxes and those who prefer to
administer an unjust law themselves.
