DISSATISFIED WITH APPOINT
MENTS.

BRINKLEYv1LLE, N. c., July 81, 'O3.
To the Scotland Neck COMMONWEALTH
It is hard to understand some of the
recent appointments made by the
board of education for the county OF
Halifax. OF course, the board cannot
please everybody and are not expected
80 to do. But there is one principle
they should invariably apply in the
appointment of local boards, we be-
lieve, and that is they should not ap-
point people to Office who have been
disloyal to the party, people who be-
longed to and did all they could to de-
feat the Democratic nominees to the
last campaign, people who canvassed
the county against the ticket and who,
but for their own assininity and the in
herent weakness of their cause, might
nave accomplished much towards de-
feating our ticket. The faithful ought
to be rewarded with the offices, the IN.
faithful should be told to 60 back and
sit down and wait.
This has not been done and to say
there is dissatisfaction expresses it
mildly.

COL. GLENN IN THE RACE.

The COMMONWEALTH has it from
good authority that Col. r. B. Glenn,
Of Winston, will be In the race for
Governor next year; and we are tree
to say now that we have heard men,
toned the name of no man whom we
would prefer to him. All the candi-
dates are good men and true, and we
do not suppose any but good men will
offer their names to the public for sup
port for the high Office of Governor OF
North Carolina but somehow the fit
ness of things seems to point to Col.
Glenn for Governor, and we believe
that when the time comes for the de-
cision to be made, the people of the
State will be glad to Honor him with
that high office.

GOOD FOB HARNETT.

The completion of the railroad from
Raleigh to Ellington means much Tor
Harnett county. The people OF the
county we're not slow to show their ap-
probation OF the enterprise that has
given them good railroad. They
showed their appreciation by the great
gathering ana the grand celebration at
Ellington last week.
1t has been stated that never on any
occasion had there been as many peo-
pie in Ellington at one time. 1t was
indeed a great day and Harnett is to be
congratulated on the new opportunities
that this touch with the great outside
world will give her people; and Raj
eigh Is to he congratulated on being
put in such close touch with the good
people OF the good county of Harnett.
Harnett is the birthplace Of the
editor of The COMMONWEALTH. 1t
was among the pines and over the hills
of Harnett we spent the days Of our
childhood and boyhood and youth, and
every interest which affects the good
people there is dear to us still. A bet
ter people lives nowhere in all this
great country and they we'll deserve all
the rich benefits that will come to
them from the new Industries and en-
terprises that are springing up among
them.
They have good resources and they
have the spirit OF true manhood and
patriotism to develop them.
We rejoice with our brethren along
the upper Cape Fear in this their
splendid opportunities and their flatter-
ing and inviting future.

HOW TO PREVENT LYNCH1NG.

Ashevlle Citizens.
There are two causes for the average
lynchlpg. A resentment on the part
of the mob toward the prisoner because
of the atrociousness of his crime, and a
fear that he may by some technicality
of the law or some exercise OF execu-
tive clemency escape the death that he
is believed to richly deserve. For the
frs: OF these there is little remedy be-
You'd the cultivation of Christian VIZ
tue and the spread of civilization.
But the second cause.-The laws de-
lay and the laws uncertainty and un-
rellabiiity-is susceptible OF almost I'M
mediate remedy. Let the courts be
less slow to act and more certain in
punishment where there is no doubt of
guilt, and there will be fewer resorts to
mob violence. It now too often hap
pens that when a criminal gets into
the custody of the law he stays there
for months, and not infrequently pun
ishment is never visited upon him.
Let the law be made truly majestic
through the swiftness, sternness and
promptness with which criminals are
punished, and the suficiency and
thoroughness with which society il
protected and the peace and dignity OIL
the State are preserved. But let the
impression get abroad that this will
not be done, or that if conviction il
finally secured there is possibility o
executive clemency being extended
and the lynching business will con
tinue.
It is hardly putting it too strongl.
to say that lynching should be rega,d
ed by the ministers of justice not as
mere act Of lawless violence and mol
ferocity, but as an Indictment for in
efficiency of the machinery of the Law
and it's failure to protect society.

THE WATTS LAW DEFIED.

Charlotte Observer:
AsHEvILLE, July ga few weeks
ago the statement was made that q
number of distillers were determined
to continue operations, after the first
of the present month, and run the risk
of arrest tor violation of the provisions
of tho Watts law. The effect OF the
statement. generally speaking, was to
provoke smile of incredullty and even
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
Mr.. Yerkes, was quoted as saying that
the government would OF course exer-
else NO protectorate over the distillers
simply because they had not been
bonded, and all government officials
wanted was assurance that the people
of the State would glye the United
States deputy marshals their moral
support in preventing an epidemic OF
illicit distilling. Now just as matter
Of fact a number of distlllers have con-
;inued operations, just as it was stated
in this correspondence that they would
do. Names could not be procured, but
from a source which cannot for a mo-
rnent be questioned, it was stated that
in Yadkin comfy the law was icing
defied, and there was prospect OF its
icing dlsregarded elsewhere, and it was
further stated that it today looked
more like the law would have to be
tested than it has heretofore. The de-
claratlon was made from high authorl.
~ that the storekeepers, should arrests
be made, would of course he tried In
the Federal courts, where they will be
defended by the government, and men
who have made the affairs of Internal
Revenue Department : matter OF life
study express the belief that the Law
will be declared unconstitutional. More
over, it may be stated before leaving
his subject. that not only are distilleri
,.isregarding the law by continuing in
operation outside of incorporated towns
but some distillers have failed to pay
the special tax provided for under the
Watts law, and they have never indi.
Gated their purpose to do so.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

The Greenvil!e Reflector is moved to
say that Greenville ought to haye a So
ciety for the prevention of cruelty to
animals.
The COMMONWEALTH has been NOV
ed to suggest the same thing for Scot
land Neck, and the suggestion is here
made that not only Scotland Neck and
Greenville ought to have such socie-
ties, but every other town in the coun-
try ought to have them.
Animals are treated cruelty in many
ways. Some people do it as matter
OF neglect or thoughtlessness, while
others do it through pure wickedness.
Those who treat their animals cruelty
through csTelessness or neglect ought
to be persuaded to be more careful
: through mere suggestion but those
who do 30 in the spirit of cruelty
ought to be m ,de to suffer the penalt,
Of the law.
There are various kinds of neglec
which amount to cruelty. The Reflec
tor suggests that not having a plac,
for the dog to get water is species o
cruelty. The same could be said o
chickens and ofstock OF all kinds. It i,
cruel to overdrive team this no
Weather or to leave them standing il
the sun long at time.

should interest evefy one.
