Young Corbett will not meet Tommy Sullivan before the West End A. C., St Louis. on July 30. The mill has been postponed for about ten days in order to give the champion more time in which to train. Corbett is not in the best of trim and has asked the club to defer the battle. Sullivan is training hard and is said to be in great trim. Many sports believe that Sullivan will give Corbett the fight of his life when they have it out Sullivan, who is a
 3'ooklyn boy. fights on the same order as Corbett, and is also stiff puncher.

HON. LOCKE CRAIG.

The young Democracy of North Caro-
lima have in Hon. Locke Craig, OF Bun
oombe. an able and incorruptible leader
who is destined to play leading part
in the future political history of the
State No man in the State did more to
secure the adoption of the constitutional
amendment and to win the glorious vic
tories of 1898, 1900, and in 1902. In his
magnificent eulogy of Mr.. Craig. the elo-
quent Catawba Representative, Mr. Self,
did not draw too strongly the picture OF
Mr.. Craig's matchless service to Democ-
racy in the real political battle ground
of the State.
Mr.. Craig came to Raleigh with many
friends and admirers. He returns home
with more friends and admirers who
hope to see him occupy the high place
in the councils of his party to which MS
ability and his distinguished public SER
vice entities him.

citizen of Durham, arose in the meeting
and said: II heard railroad man say
that myself, but he was not an execu-
tive officer" Thereupon Mr.. Miller made
the declaration quoted above.
This paper, unlike Mr.. Miller, puts
credence in the statements of subordin-
ate employees of railroads, as well as in
most executive officers. Like men of
other callings, among many truthful men,
there are some men not entitled to Gre
dence in the ranks of railroad employees
But they are few, and the subordinate
employees" are quite as truthful as those
higher up.
In his zeal to defeat the Fuller bill,
Mr.. Miller went too far, and will regret
the statement which he would not make
in a calm moment.

Restriction on the Sale of Liquor.

To the Editor: / am requested by a
good many of our leading citizens to
write and express to you our apprecia-
ton of your earnest and active advo-
cacy Of the temperance cause of North
Carolina. The stand that your paper has
taken in reference to this question is a
noble and patriotic one, and will be a
lasting monument to your memory. Our
town is one of the most progressive
towns in Eastern Carolina. Il think our
representative, Mr.. Guion will bear me
out in this statement, is strictly dry,
having boycOtted the last barroom here,
during Christmas time, about ten years
ago. Some of our neighboring rural dis
tricts are troubled considerably with
wine shops and cider presses. These
things are terrible nuisance in commu-
mites where they are located, and some
restrictions should be thrown aroud the
sale of their products
With best wishes and an earnest de-
sire we may win in this fight, l am,
Yours very truly,

Right Must Wiz.

To the Editor: Your stand on the Ii
uuor question in our State deserves COM
mendation.
The liquor dealers and distillers are
fighting for their interests. The oppon-
ents of the traffic are, we believe, i'm
PEELED by an infinitely higher motive
than mere self-interest. They are fight
ing for God and the right and. because
they are, they must win.
Prosperity Of the distillery and the sa-
loon results in the impoverishment of
manhood, the destruction of homes, the
obstruction of any righteous movement
the damnation of immortal souls. AS
the distillery and saloon grow richer the
people become proportionately poorer in
all that should make life rich. At this
time the success of the supporters of
the traffic in drink means the temporary
defeat of the great moral forces of the
State, more thoroughly united than we
have seen them, active and aggressive.
What are the arguments brought to
bear upon intelligent men to show them
that the saloon should still afflict a long
suffering people? Logic and reason are
seldom employed now. Men are too much
enllSnteHeu, Cnelr colSCleHCcS are Ioo
much aroused for old and worn and fall
lacious arguments co have weight. The
cry of the dealer and the distiller and
their friends now is: Save our inter-
ests! Send money to carry on the cam
paign. Destruction threatens our bust
ness interests in this legislation pro-
posed-the London bill! Down it,"
Who will win? Will the moral forces
of North Carolina carry the day? We
must believe they will, but they must
work and fight and pray!
Fright is right, since God is God
And right the day must win.
To doubt would be disloyalty;
To falter would be SIM"

RAILROAD MEN AND THE TRUTH

Il do not see why people should put
credence in what subordinate railroad
employees say."-HENRY w. MILLER
before the Railroad Committee yesterday
afternoon.
!, According to Mr.. Henry Miller, the
subordinate employees of railroads are
not to be believed-only the executive
officers and men around headquarters can
be relied upon to tell the truth.
At the hearing on the Fuller bill yes
terday it was stated that seven years
ago, as an excuse for not giving Dur
ham depot, a Southern Railway official
had said that it would not be done be-
cause Durham juries were unfair to the
Southern Railway. Mr.. Miller denied

miratfon by the high plane upon
(which he conducted his campaign.
Success would have brought him

added to the esteem in which he is held

The masses of the people love brave

For nearly three weeks now the Fuller

create a tribunal with power to COMPEL
the erection of a union depot wherever
it may be shown to be necessary and
practicable. 1t should have passed with
out opposition and would have done SO
but for the muddying of the waters by
the Southern Railways introduction of
irrelevant questions.
The bill passed the House by an over
whelming majority. 1t was heard yes
terday by a small number of the railroad
committee and was postponed until next
Tuesday. The Southern Railway lobby
lists see that they have lost the fight, and
they have now undertaken to destroy it
by proposing pleasant sounding amend
ments which, if passed, will cut the
lite, last-ditch stand of the Southern
Railway crowd. When they exhaust
their every resource to defeat a wise
measure of railroad regulation, they
then pretend to think that it would be
"A very good bill with certain smooth
reading amendments. Old legislators heard
the voice of Esau in the two amend

When it is understood that they were
