AT THE THEATER

A delighted audience witnessed the
production of "a Son of Rest last
night, and laughed very heartily at the
cleverness of that original comedian
Nat M. Wills, who appeared as Hunt
ing Grub" in the leading role, and
was responsible for most of the fun
making of the piece. It's humor was
of very healthy sort, and undoubted-
ly appealed to the audience, who APP
plauded the local hits and topical
songs to the echo, and, indeed, until
the reserve stock of encores was ex-
hausted. The production had come to
Savannah very highly ndorsed, and
more than sustained it's reputation. 1t
is musical farce. of a style not UNI
familiar but always entertaining.
There were some particularly pretty
features about the dances, the chorus
of seminary girls, in brown quaker
like dresses and fioppy hats. making a
very attractive effect. They were evil

but this the audience took good-nat-
uredly and applauded again. In the
introduction of the sacred cat and in
one or two other points, there was a
suggestion of some of Francis Will
sons absurdities. The cat, imperson-
ated by Gabriel, was very funny in
deed, and It's gestures delightfully."- cat

The costuming was all fine, the seem
cry very pleasing. The production, as
a whole. was entirely enjoyable.

CAN ROOSEVELT VISIT HAWAII.

The invitation to the president to eX-
a peculiar question: Can the president
visit these islands, though they form
a part of the United States? If he
should undertake such a journey who
would be president of the United States
between the times of his sail
ing from a Francisco and his land
ing in Honolulu? There has always
been so much doubt as to the right of
the president to go beyond the borders
be the effect of his so doing that on
several occasions presidents have been
pursuaded by their advisers to decline
propositions to do so. There seems to
be great doubt as to what, under the
organic and statute law, would be the
results of such action by the president.
The matter is more complicated now
than it would be were there a vice presi-
dent. Under the law of succession,
passed during Cleveland's first admins
tration, were President Roosevelt to
die or resign Secretary Hay would be-
come president; but there is nowhere,
We believe, any express law I'VE for
the vice president to act in the temper
airy absence from the country of the
president. There is certainly no pro-
vision in the act above referred to which
would cover this case. Can it be pos
sible hat there are three territories
parts of the Union-which the president
is debarred from visiting?

Western district of North Carolina the
point was raised that he vas barred
from making a third appointment af-
ter the senate had twice failed to act;
but investigation showed hat this act
of congress had been repealed and that
there was no law in the way of the
president keeping UP the routine of a
recess appointment Immediately after
the adjournment of the senate without
acting upon the nomination. So we
take it that if the senate adjourns
without acting upon the nominations
of Byrne and Crum the president can
appoint them Immediately upon that
adjournment and they will be indicted
into office pending their reappointment
at the next session of congress-. This
can be kept up Indefinitely if the presi-
dent chooses to be b~ull-headed about it
and force the senate to formally re-
ject his nominees. Such action would
be mighty poor politics or the part Of
breach between himself and his ma
jority party in the senate; but, then,
there is no counting on what Mr.. Roose-
Welt will do in these or any other cases..
He may find the senators to be as stub
born as himself and keep this game up
to the end Of his time or it may tend
frming other appointments. American
history has shown that there can be
such a thing as a president without a
congress to back him although the ma
jority in that body is of the same po-
litical faith as himself.

PROFESSOR WEAVER GOES TO
JAIL.

Professor T. A. Weaver, of Weaver
vile college, denies the right of the
municipal authorities of Asheville to
enforce compulsory vaccination and
goes to Jail rather than pay a fine OF
twenty-five dollars for violating this
ordinance. 1t seems the professor holds
the view that the fine is excessive for
the offense committed and prefers to go
to Jail rather than pay it. We are told
that he will pay all the expenses Of his
imprisonment and when he comes out
will make it hot for those who have
caused his incarceration. 1t does look
like twenty-five dollars is a pretty steep
fine for refusal to be vaccinated, but
the Asheville authorities, we take it
for granted, knew what they were about
and of how great Importance to the
general public was universal vaccina-
ton. If it was deemed necessary to the
general health hat all persons should
be vaccinated and this man refused to
comply with the law we see no reason
why he should be treated with greater
leniency than any other man just be-

his contention that in battle the Lord

George Hossey, he old negro herb

FRIDAY, MARCH 20.
A NORTH CAROLINA OUTRAGE.

Under the above headline The Wash
comments upon the recent action OF
Judge Shaw, while holding court in
Mecklenburg county, in sending to Jail
for ten days for contempt of court a
Mr.. Richardson. who The Post says is.
Of course, a we'll known citizen of the
county. While writing of the matter in
a light vein The Post gives the judge
some pretty hard ticks for the severity
of his action. 1t seems that Mr.. Rich

others. whether of high or low degree,
from committing like offense in future.
The Posts comments on this affair
are as follows:
we really do not see why Mr.. D. L.
Richardson, of Charlotte, N. c., should
have been treated as he was by Judge
Shaw, of the superior court. 1t happen
ed on the 18th instant, and it strikes US
as a shame. Mr.. Richardson is, OF
course, "a we'll known citizen They
always are. And all he did was to find
a seat in Judge Shaw's court, just to

The proceedings did not interest him in
the least. Mr.. Richardson is not liti-
gious. He takes no part in squabbles
V COW cases. 1t makes no difference
to him whether Mrs. Bumpers hen
was on the wrong or the right side of
the fence when the feather flew. He
is a peaceful man, is Richardson, and
he went into the court room simply to
find a place where his mind wouldn't
be disturbed while he was using it.
They do say that he SnOred, and it is a
fac of record hat the miniOns of Judge
Shaw made haste 10 wake him. But
why the judge sent Mr.. Richardson to
Jail for ten whole days is something we
shall never, never understand, Mr..
Richardson was quiet. He was not
throwing things. He hadn't so much
as Drawn q gun. lie sat IN a remote
corner, interfering with nobody, just
thinking, and if he issued any sound at
all it was that of cOntented and amia>
BILE respiration. Il-natured people
often accuse others of snoring when. as
a matter of fact, they are only trying
to compromise with asthma or hay fe-
yer. 1t was one said-by Il villain and
a horse thief. of cOurse-that one of the
most opulent dinner givers in Washing
ton snOred when she danced. That
shows you what real mean people viii
assert at times. The truth seems to be
that Mr.. Richardson was mOdestly
nesting in two chairs. with his hat over
his face, and breathing hard in thought,
when the miniOns rushed up and seized
and shook him. !" it any wonder that

SENATE COMMITTEE DOWNS II

President Roosevelt has received an
the judiciary his time. That commit
tee on Tuesday held a session to on
slider the nomination of Byrne as dis
trict attorney for Delaware. The COM
mittee stood four to four on n prop
osition 10 repcrt f~avorably on the ques-
ton of confirmation. This even divis-
ion of the committee was decided to
amount to an adverse report. This is
the second time the judiciary commit
tee has virtually decided against the
president. In the ffty-seventh congress
the committee ~purposely look no action
on this nomination, which really
amounted to notification to the presi-
dent that it was opposed to the nomi-
nation or rather that there was not a
majority in its favor, which amounted
to the same thing.
The second appointment of Crum as
collector of the port of Charleston will
also most probably go by the board for
want of action by the commerce COM
mittee of the senate.

Will Never be Tolerated.

Commenting on the Booker Wash
inston- negro party Manufacturing
house episode the Kinston Free
Press says:
The South, at least, will never consent
to anything of this kind. 1t has too
much OF tinge of social equality, and it
is an unwritten law as changeless as
those of the Modes and Persians. that
social equality shall ever be alien to our
institutions
Among the white race, the best friends
OF the negro know that such incidents as
this that took place at Hamlet. and as
those rash acts that President Roosevelt
has been guilty of in regard to the race
is seriously injurious to the amicable re-
lations that should exist.
Such unfortunate incidents, having q
tendency as they do to disturb the ami
cable relations that should exist. cannot

MAKE ALL HOME SUPPLIES.

The suggestion to the farmer to
make all his home supplies-go in
first for hog and hominy' and then
cultivate in addition as much of a
money crop as he can properly care
for-will not relieve the present situa-
ton to be sure; but the farmers who
have acted on this advice heretofore
are the ones who are in the best con-
dition to stand the strain put upon
them by the low prices of tobacco.
Experience is dear teacher but
some people learn in no other way
And hard as it may be for the time
being we believe good will come out
of it. If it shall teach our farmers
that the only safe and profitable
course is to make their own supplies
at home the lesson will not have been
in vain. AS the Wilmington Messen-
ger has well said:
"With land so highly favored the
South should not be dependent upon
the frozen North for anything If
the South possessed the driving and
ingenious qualities OF the Yankee in
stead of buying a dollars worth OF
anything to eat or wear or use in
any way from others, it would be
selling its tens of millions of dollars
worth OF the very things it now buys
For decades, shame to say, the South
has not only been a producer but a
buyer of corn and hay and wheat and
flour and bacon and middlings and
beef and butter and lard and so on.
This is ineXcusable.

appeared a paragraph i'll the edito-

that "the two most persistent news

ma are the A. & NJ. College and the

We had in mind at the time the asso-

perintendent Joyner, Gov. AycOck
and President McIyer are the eXecu-
tive committee, and Prof. Brooks the
secretary, officially known as 1.-The

the literature sent out we styled 1T
Educational Bureau" without ever
a thought of the business conducted
by Mr.. Charles J. Parker under that
name, or the purpose to reflect upon
him or his business in any way.
While the, title given the committee,
organization or association was OF
our own bestowing there is in Raj
eigh what is known as The Educa-
tional Bureau, of which Mr.. Parker
is general manager. 1t was estab-
lished in 1891 and is widely and ia
vorably known throughout the
South and West. Mr.. Parker is an
extensive advertiser but he doesn't
beg for newspaper space and pays
for what he gets. There are several
members Of his Bureau in Henderson
and Vance county.
