PARTY GOVERNMENT BY sON-lN-
Law.

Some OF the "yallers' are devoting
much speculation as to what the Repub-
lican state Executive Committee will do.
1t is a waste of space. Daddy-in-law
Pritchard has issued his orders that SON
in-law Rollins shall be elected in his
place. This will enable the new judge to
continue as boss in fact comforting the
name upon his son-in-law. The friends
OF Senator Pritchard, who ascribe to him
great virtues, will experience dull cold
thud when they see that he is to thus
continue as political boss while wearing
the ermine He has the ability to grow
into a Judge il he will quit the measly
political methods he has employed. But
II he elects his on-in-law to his place,
it will be notice that he is to be politi-
cal boss and judge at the same time.
1t will also show that the Republican
party is a sorry concern to permit its
boss to bequeath his official bosship to
his n-in-law. Perhaps he will make
will also bequeathing the next succession
to his grandson, and let the succession
go on in the family, to be held indefi-
nitely by the oldest son-in-law or the
oldest son.
The fact that the Republican organiza-
ton is thus son-in-law bossed shows that
1t merits the contempt of good mon. The
son-in- law party government is worse
than the oldest son inheritance of every
thing which jefferson destroyed in Vir-
ginia an hundred years ago. 1t seems
that Pritchard replaces it by sonin-law
inheritance of party government in North
Carolina.

WE REAP WHAT WE sow.

1t is as true of a community as of
an individually reap what we SOW"
II legislators let down the bars for easy
divorces, let nobody be surprised when
the courts of justice are converted into
mills to grind out divorces. If they tam
per with divorce laws, making more
causes than are recognized in the Word
of God, let them expect shame and con-
fusion and wrong to follow.
The Tarboro Southerner gives a con-
crete example of what has resulted from
tinkering with divorce laws. 1t says:
when Judge Brown left Thursday
court only took a recess. as the Judge
was TO return here Friday and hear
an argument or two on some law points.
When he returned he was asked TO try
a divorce case, Mary Abrams VS. Henry
Abrams. He did so and the divorce was
granted, the allegations being abandon
| ment and cruelty.
The verdict had not long been rem
dered ere there was an application for
| license for the plaintiff to marry Great
! was the establishment of all concerned
when 1t became known that under the
recent law on divorce remarriage is not
legal until after five years when the
| cause of divorce IS abandonment"
The next Legislature ought to be in
structed by the people to repeal all di-
vorce laws and allow no divorces except
for the cause named in the Word

go IN FOR LITERATURE"

Some years ago California callow
youth, who knew little poetry and less
literature. set up as a literary critic. A
publisher at San Francisco, knowing how
green the cgotistic young editor was, sent
him volume of Millions Paradise Lost"
which, he wrote, had just been printed
The critic reviewed the poem at length,
Winding up with a statement somewhat
like this: "The youthful poet is too
ambitious and too obscure. He would
have done better with less lofty theme "
That incident was recalled by story in
a Pacific coast paper. 1t tells story of
Byron as a youth at school, or college,
taking part in an essay-writing contest
ON Jesus turning water into wine. All
the boys worked, while Byron loafed, but
when the monitor collected the papers,
the lazy genius scrubbed a line. passed
it|up. and was awarded the palm. When
fthe professor read THE water saw her

is that it spells Crashaw's epigram: "Thc
conscious water saw her Lord, and
blushed.'
There is need. to quote the poet Coog-
Ter that papers on the Pacific slope "gc

The Seaboard depot at Southern Pines
has been moved TO a point on the north

The Southern now requires its porters,
in announcing the stations, to add,
Don't forget your bundles" and it will
probably save more trouble than any
thing else, for people by the thousands
lump up and get off al a station and leave
umbrellas, bundles, etc An old railroad
man told nc Greensboro Record that he
thought h ould safely say that be had
600 umbrellas gathered up within a few
years at one place, all Of them left by
passengers.
The Southern Bobbin Works had to
shut down today, throwing about fifty
people out of work, because a car or two
of fuel for the engine could not be de-
livered at the factory, yet the Record Is
told that it was herein fact was in
sight Of the factory, but the Southern is
so far behind in it's work that the cars
could not be placed on the siding leading
right to the door of the factory. The yard
man says he is days behind in his work.
