WHISKEY AND CRIME.

Spending a short while in the court
room at Halifax Tuesday, we wore i'm
pressed with the fact that every case
that we heard before the court coming
from the criminal docket was the d..
rect result OF drunkenness.
And so it ever is. A large majority
of the criminal proceedings in our
courts are the result of the liquor traf-
ic, either directly or indirectly.
It does seem that the Intelligent
citizenship Of North Carolina would
see the arguments for suppresslng the
liquor traffic from the standpoint ol
economy in taxes for the expense o.
criminal courts, to say nothing about
the moral, social and civil reform II
would bring about.
To be sure, to be sure, with TIL
Frightening light Of a better lntelli
gence in North Carolina the day Is moi
lar distant when the people will speal
forth their power and suppress it!

THAT RAILROAD.

Scotland Neck needs nothing more
than another railroad. The COMMON
WEALTH has said this before and, ex-
poets to say 1t again.
Every one at all familiar with the
business interests of the town and COM
munity knows why another railroad Is
needed to this point.
A large shipper said yesterday that
the freight on -four from st. Louis to
Washington, N. c., Is 81 cents per bar
rel, shipped by Scotland Neck. Freight
on the same flour from st. Louis to
Scotland Neck over the same lines ID
60 cents per barrel. That is q differ
ence of % cents per barrel.
1t does not take any very skilfu]
calculation to see that in one year
Scotland Neck would save Z large
amount of money on flour freighte
alone.
Equal saying could be made on
many other articles of freight. But
why multiply the examples? 1t Is toe
plain to need argument to convince
the people of Scotland Neck that they
are wasting fortune or two every yea,
by submitting to enormous freight
rates, when positive, united effort or
the part of the business men of the
town would remedy the whole matter
The thing needed is railroad from
Scotland Neck to some point on Roam
oke river where our freights coult
touch deep water. This might be dom
by building a road to Palmyra, die
lance OF six miles, but it would be bet
ter to build to Hamilton, q straigh
distance of sixteen miles.
This is no idle talk. It is an impoz
tant matter, and it is suicidal on th
part of the business men OF Scotlan,
Neck to neglect it longer.
What will the business men here d
about it?
Let's have a meeting. Let's d
something to get relief.
When shall we commence?
Why not at once?

THE COMING AUTOMOBILE.
Large Output of the Machines in the

1t is estimated that $4,000 automo-
biIes will be manufactured in the
United States this year. The AmeSi-
can output of motor vehicles in 1902
had value of $4,000. 900. II we
same year Great Britain imported mo-
tors and parts of motors to the value
of S5,512,S10 and France exported mo-
tor cars to the value of $3.50, 200.
Seventy French manufacturers of au-
tomobiles turned out last year 10000
motor cars, or less than half the nurf-
Der turned out by American manu-
facturers.
Commenting on these figures Henry
Norman. in The Worlds Work.

business automobiles will soon be uni

take their samples through the country

ALLEGED MURDERER
OF WIFE RESCUED
FROM MOB
Montgomery Is Sneaked Out
of the Tomah, Wis.,, Jail
and Taken to the Sparta
Cage--Coroner's Verdict Is
Against Montgomery.

TOMAH Wis. June 5.-A mob of sew
eraI hundred angry citizens and farmers
of Tomah and vicinity in Monroe county
gathered here today bent On taking the
life Of Samuel Montgomery. who is
charged with the murder of his wife
Montgomery was taken out of the Tomah
tail and hurried to Sparta on a freight
train.
Montgomery and his wife, who lived
near Warrens. were driving along a lonely
country road. when Mrs. Montgomery
death occurred. With the dead body OF
his wife lying in the buggy Montgomery
drove to the nearest town on a gallop and
there claimed that they had been in a
runaway and his wife's neck was broken
by a fall out Of the buggy. His stories
were so conflicting that he was arrested.
The coroner's inquest began today. The
testimony was SO overwhelmingly against
Montgomery and the sentiment expressed
in the court room of such a dangerous
character that the prisoner was taken
back TO jail before the examination was
concluded. An angry mob soon began
to gather around the front entrance to
the Jail, and then the authorities sneaked
their prisoner out of the back door,
reached a west-bound freight train and
took the prisoner to Sparta, where he
was landed safely in jail and all is reported
quiet there. He will have a preliminary
trial on the charge of murder next week.
The governor did not call out troops to
prevent a lynching
The coroner's jury brought in a verdict
that the deceased came to her death
from having her neck broken by violence
ir being beaten, bruised and nl-treated
by her husband, Samuel Montgomery,
with intent to murder.
