A MORNING TONIC.
(Hon. James Y. Joyner.4


In such an age as this, and in such
land as ours, it is scarcely necessary
Tor me to waste words in any argument
for education-the power and the neces-
sity OF it, the right of every child to a
chance to get it, and the duty of every
State and every community to give him
this chance. Every age has its spirit
properly called spirit-somethng born in
heaven ard sent to earth to direct the
destiny of that age. The finite power of
puny man cannot avail against the inf
mite power of such a force. The spirit
OF this age, as all men must feel is
universal education. Born in heaven,
too, and sert to heaven with this spirit
OF universal education, was its twin spirit
that men name Democracy, whose ire
vocable law is equality of opportunity.
1t is no accident that these twin spirits
should find their favorite abode and set
up their choicest kingdom in this new
world of ours. They must reign together
or reign not ct all. United they stand
divided they fall. The little State that
dares to raise its little arm against the
unalterablc decree of these divine twin
spirits is doomed in the outset to failure
and destined in the end to ruin.

The London Bill.

To the Editor: In the rural districts
where 1 live, whskey has rendered even
the public highways obnoxious to decent
travellers.
Not long ago. a lady from popular
Southern city, said to me: When I
meet these men with jugs and hear
them swearing and firing pistols, how 60
| know that the next shot will not coilc
into my carriage?"
Last summer, a minister who gets a
$4,000 salary in a Northern city, stop
ped at Banner Elk, where he spoke very
desparagingly of the great number of
men and boys whom he met with jugs, as
he came from the station.
1t is not uncommon for parties in car
riages, or families living near the road,
to have their ears rasped by the most
vulgar and profane language.
From one grocery, the only grocery,
on the road leading from Cranberry,
Mitchell county, to Boone, in Watauga
county, 400 gallons of whiskey was sold
in one day, and 800 gallons in two
weeks, including the late Christmas. All
this. having been sold at retail. legisla-
tors can imagine the character of the
that place.
a petition was recently circulated, ask
ing the Legislature to abolish that liquor
traffic by Incorporation, and about one
hundred of the best nearby citizens
signed it. But AT the same time counter
petitions were circulated by the grocery
keeper, and to the utter astonishment OF
ALL he soon had the signatures Of seven
hundred head OF the hoodIum OF North
Carolina and Tennessee. including men,
women and children ~ various classes
sizes and colors. This proves Mr.
Bailey's statement. AS to whose foot the
shoe is on to start with.
Every State has counties that cannot
send a self-willed man TO its Legisla-
ture. To get there, he must cater TO the
whims of the hoodlums; he must not be
of sufficient force to suggest unfavor-
able comment. If a member Of oul
present assembly offers to amend the
saloon, or to exempt territory from it,
provisions, he belongs to the mob; lei
him be spotted and stigma tized.
When good people cannot come To the
mountains to enjoy their beauty and
hcalthfulness, or to participate in the
sports they offer. or to look out for in
vestments, without being insulted or put
to the blush by drunkards on the public
highways, it is time for good people Il
act. [ have touched only one feature
of this evil. but the people know The
concomtants Give us the London bill

Durham had what it needed, the power
to give relief ought to be lodged in the
Corporation Commission. To the same
effect. briefly and clearly, spoke Mr.. Full
Ter. member from Durham, who depre-
Gated the introduction of the vexed and

the argument for the bill upon the broad
ground that the State ought to delegate

said that at present he did not desire to

about the pending litigation.
The only question properly before the
committee and the General Assembly is
this: Shall power be lodged in the Cor
poration Commission TO order the cree
ton CT a union depot when the same
shall be shown to be necessary? That
is all the power the bill confers. 1t is
rover that ought to be granted without

A MATTER OF CHOICE.

Greensboro Record.
1t is said that the reason young Muir
rows father does not want to provide
for the injured woman by paying a sum
of money is that to do so is confession
of guilt on the part of the son. We
fail to see why. The Governor and the
State have said the prisoner could either
go to prison or pay a fine. Either is a
sentence and paying money rather than
remain in prison is simply a matter of
choice.
