TO PUSH THE Weapon DRINK.
New Company to be Formed to Make This Bev-
erage of Eastern Carolina.

Washington N. c., Jan. 10.-The latest
competitor that will enter the field Of
drinks is a National Yeopon Company
and the material of which this new bev-
erage is made is Carolina grown arti
Gle. Drinkers of the fad preparations
and total abstainers will be tempted by
the liquid made from the fiat, brown
fake that only grows near the sWamps
and salt marshes of East Carolina.
P. C. Squires, of Berlin, Md, was re-
Gently in the Pasquotank section of this
State buying holly and mistletoe for the
Christmas season and in gathering them
he noticed the Yeopon plant and studied
it's properties. Upon returning home he
explained the value of this unused Caro-
lima plant to several people, among them
being the members of the Dirrickson
Banking Syndicate and the latter firm
had enough faith in Sqhires' explanation
to make an offer to furnish capital for
tho new drink manufacturers. In con-
sequence of this at an early date the
new company will be incorporated under
the laws of North Carolina and Mary
land and start the Transforming of the
Carolina Yeopon into an attractive drink.
The Yeopon flake is a combination OF

OIL FOUND NEAR REInsvILIE.
Indications That it May Become an Oil Pro-

Especial to News and Observer.)
Reidsville, Jan. 10.-Much interest has
been manifested by oil prospectors of
other communities in the oil problem in
this county. They have written for
samples of water from different wells in
the section and two of our citizens have
sent some from their wells for examina-
ton. Dr. c. A. Rominger stopped using
the water from his we'll last summer be-
cause he said there would always be a
skim of oil oil the water after it had
been left over night. Another gentleman
who owns property in the same part of
the city has been forced to abandon the
use of his we'll because there was a for
nation of oil on water left standing for
some time. People who live in the West
End have frequently noticed oil on the
sidewalks after a rain. 1t looked as if
oil might have been split there, but it
was seen so often and at such long in
tervals and on so much ground that the
supposition is Impossible. A gentleman
who was discussing the probability of
oil being found in this section, said that
there is no doubt coal all through the
Piedmont section and that coal and oil
are generally found together. Whether
there is oil in Reidsville remains to be
seen

ROOSEVELT ROASTED.
The Herald Says the President has Alienated
Southern Sympathy.
New York Herald.)


N"If President Roosevelt wished to al
leniate Southern sympathies, he has sue
ceeded. Regretful surprise is a mild
term for the feeling aroused in the United
States by President Roosevelt's nomina-
ton of colored man to the post Of col
lector of the port of Charleston. Even
the sincercst admirers of the President
cannot help regarding the appointment
as an ill-consdered act, which will do
more harm than good to the very people
whom it is intended to benefit, namely,
the negroes.
The Herald does not hesitate to give
expression to this belief, as it has con-
sistently supported Mr.. Roosevelt in his
previous administrative policy and has
upon more than on occasion recorded it's
genuine respect for him, both as a man
and as the chief magistrate of the United
States. 1t is not exaggerating to say
that the Presidents public career hith-
erto has fully answered the expectations
of his friends, who are legion, while his
prudence, great common sense and po-
litical sagacty have bitterly dsappoint-
ed his adversaries. His impartial at
titude toward the trusts has been in
dorsed by the entire nation. His judi
cious intervention in the coal strike
should earn a permanent place for his
name in the industrial history of the
United States, and his mastery handling
of the Venezuelan embroglio has shown
him to be a statesman of rare stamp.
All this is freely admitted. What, then,
can have prompted him to make an ap-
pontment that is distasteful to the ma
jor portion of the American people and
thus destroy, at one blow, the reputation
he has been so successfully building up?
What possible motive can have induced
him to ALLEVIATE the respect, esteem, sym.
pathies and confidence in his ability of
the entire white population of the South?
The Herald wishes it to be distinctly I'M
derstood that DR.. Crum's personality is
not called in question, in the very least.
1t may even be admitted that, under ideal
conditions. there would be no objection
made to the appointment of a negro TO
any official position in the service of the
United States, but, perhaps unfortunate
ly practical considerations regulate gov
eminent policy in America, as elsewhere,
is rarely compatible with what is prac-
tically possible. In making a nomination
that is Objectionable to a majority of
people affected by it, the President simp
ly proves that he is unaware of this ele-
mcntary principle of government. No
one will question his legal constitutional
right to appoint to public office any ,nan
whom he thinks fitted TO occupy it, Tut
has he moral right 10 exercise his ,ow
err of appointment in a manner that is
contrary to the wishes of majority?
The answer to the question is most
decidedly no; majority rules in the
United States. Congress is elected i,y
the majority. Laws are passed in the
legislature by the majority, and any d.
ministrative measure that is nbhorr mt
to the majority Of American citizens is
a mischevous measure. 1t is not TN

THE DISPENSARY A LONG
STEP TOWARD TEMPERANCE
F. M. Edgerton Points Out the Advantages of the
System at Louisburg.

reasonable to argue that the Presidents
proper course with regard to making APP
pointments is indirectly indicated by he
constitution of the United States. Each
State is virtually an independent part of
the body polite, possessed of the right
to make it's own laws, to conduct its liz
dividual affairs as it thinks is best suit
ed to prevailing conditions. and to take
such measures for the projection Of its
special interests as may be consistent
with due consideration for the interests
of other States.
The power Of intervention vested in The
Federal government is clearly laid dow !,
and is permissible only under certain
stipulated circumstances and within Ger
tain carefully defined limits. 1t is conse-
quently a debatable point whether the
chief magistrate is not tacitly bound
to consult local sentiment before deciding
upon a particular administrative step.
Now the President cannot shut his eyes
to the fact that the white population of
the Southern States has strongly de-
veloped very tenacious preiudices with
regard to the negro question. There is
no necessity to discuss the justice Of
those prejudices. Their existence and
strength cannot be denied. Whom, there
fore, the President takes an initiative
that is protested against by majority
of people, he not only commits a grave
political blunder hut also exceeds his
moral authority.
The possible consequences of such step
as the nomination which has aroused g
storm of indignation in the South cannot
be considered without apprehension. 1t
would take very little Of this kind of
administration to light the flames of Il
race war in which the principal sufferers
could only be the negroes. Public senti-
ment, in fact. is stronger than idealistic
theorizing, and is usually embittercd and
made more obstinate by opposition. The
great colonizing powers of the world
Rome England, Holland-have all shown
that they realized this truth by concilat-
ing the peoples under their rule with
respect for their customs, creeds and
even prejuGices.
The attitude Of Southerners toward the
colored race, whether it he due to Gus
tom, creed or prejudice, is very un-
compromising one, and the situation is
one that calls for great circumspection in
it's treatment Every friend of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, therefore, must deplorG
his ill-advised attempt to row against
such a tremendous current of public
opinion, that is to set his personal views.
