CHURCHES FIGHT THE SALOON.
Meetings at Hickory in Behalf of the Dry
Ticket.

Especial to News and Observer
Hickory, N c., April 23.-Interest in
the municipal election has suddenly re-
viyed and bids fair to reach flood
tide before the week is over. 1t is stated
upon reliable authority that some very
heavy bets have been placed on the In
dependent candidate for mayor, and the
regular Dry nominee, Elliott. The con-
test between them is very spirited. The
local papers this week are loaded with
announcements from nominees of the In
dependent convention declining to run on
that ticket. Messrs. w. B. MenZies and
jos. Leonard, candidates for aldermen
ont the Dry ticket, declare that they
cannot accept the nomination rendered
them by the other convention as they
cannot represent hostile and conflicting
interests. Messrs. C. H. Geitner and j.
H. Lentz, named for school trustees under
similar circumstances, make the same
announcement Mr.. w. G. Burns briefly
informs the public that as he is a Dry
man, he will not run on the Independent
ticket
A series of nightly meetings are be-
ing held at the various churches in the
interest of the Dry cause.

ACHANCE FOR YADKINVILLE.

The Yadkinville Ripple seeing the need
of progress IN the county capital, has the
following:
"Elkn voted to issue so, 900 of per
cent. bonds for he Improvement of her
streets. Oh, that Yadkinvlle could be
prevailed upon to do something for the
betterment of her streets; and the roads
just outside of the corporate limits. but
we have no words to describe their con
dition."
Elkin has improved rapidly. 1t permits
no saloons or distilleries within its bor-
ders. Ii prefers wooden mills and other
industrial plants. At the recent session
of the Legislature the Republican Sena
tor from Yadkin county sought to secure
the passage of bill making the town OF
Yadkinville three miles square. 1t was
generally believed that this was done to
make harbor for the country stills. bet
ter known as "hall-kittles," that will be
driven out of business after the 30th o.
June. The Senate passed the bill bu,
il failed of passage in the House, Since
the adjournment Of the Legislature it has

MR D. QUINLIvAN DEAD.
Man and Wife Recsive Probably Fatal Injuries
From Exploding Lamp

Wilmington, N. c., April 23.-Mr. Dan
iel Quinlivan, one Of Wilmington's most
highly respected and substantial Irish
citizens, died yesterday of uremia, after
week s illness.
Joe Herring, aged As years, well
known colored drayman for the d. l..
Gore Company was fatally burned as the
result of the explosion of a lamp at his
home in this city last night about ten
o'clock His wife was also badly burned
and may not recover. Several children
were in the adjoining room but were too
young to be of assistance to their par
ents. The fire department reached the
scene in response to a delayed alarm
but neighbors had extinguished the flames
before the fremen arrived.
Strawberry shipments from this sec
tion Tuesday amounted by actual count
to II refrigerator cars and about three
thousand crates by Southern Express.
AS each car contained 800 crates and
there are 80 quarts to the crate. the
total shipments amounted to 500, 900
quarts.
1t is understood from an authoritative
source that the State Board of Public
Charities has asked it's local board in
Wilmington to investigate the alleged
unsanitary condition of the convict camp
at Castle Haynes, which has twice been
reported by grand juries Of the Superior
court The local board is of the Opin-
ion that an investigation is useless in
view of a report recently made by
board of local physicians, which visited
the camp and declared the premises in
as good condition from a sanitary stand
point as those of any county or State in
the South. The percentage of sickness
among the prisoners was found to have
been much smaller than when the State
operated the same camp and not larger
than the percentage of sickness among
the residents of the locality.
Hail storms varying in intensity and
extent of damage wrought are reported
today from the trucking belt. The storms
passed over yesterday afternoon and have
done much damage in beating the straw
berries out of shape and spelling them
or the vines so far as the best markets
are concerned.

than they were twenty years ago. We
know of one tract of land in Asheboro
township assessed at $500 which is worth
and would sell for $1,000 any day. And
there are others.
Tax assessors will remember that all
timbered land has increased in value, and
that where improvements have been made
there should be an Increased valuation.
There are instances where the lands are
assessed too low where no improvements
have been made. These lands should be
equaliZed in value with other lands 1t
is true that there may be instances now
and then where lands are assessed too
high. OF course in such cases there should
be reduction. As a rule, however, there
has been little increase in twenty years
and we all know that the valuation should
be increased

GOWNS FOR JUDGES.

GOWNS FOR JUDGES.
Greenville Reflector.
Discussing the proposition thta judges
of the Supreme Court wear gowns, the
Wilmington Messenger grows somewhat
red in the face as it recalls the antics of
judges of by-gone days The burden of
The Messengers logic is that because
certain judges who did not wear gowns

manners. Our contemporary is of course.
entitled to its opinion, but we think it
goes rather too far out of it's way in the
following slam upon its brethren of the
press:
Among the democratic politicians,
"the self constituted leaders of the
party and editors there are great
many demogogues who will take up
any cry which they think will please
the masses and give themselves the
chance of securing a front seat in the
band wagon. 1t strikes us this is the
object in view of many of those edi-
tors who are making such howl
about the proposition of the State
Bar Association
Who are the great many editorial
demagogues who will take up any cry
which they think will please the masses
and give themselves the chance of secur-
ing front seat in the band wagon
Show them to u.s. If there are great
many" such editors, they certainly are not
on our exchange list. The Messenger
might as well have been exact about ii
and said just how many. Never in the
history OF the State has the press been
conducted on higher plane, as regards
politics. During campaigns of the last
few years there have been no such char
acter assassinations as disgraced the pro-
fession at one time The Messenger S
charge is haSty and ill-considered.
AS to the gown proposition, common
sense ought to promptly dismiss it. The
law is as truly dignified in the mouth
of cross road magistrate as in the high
est court in the land. magistrate in a
gown would be laughable spectacle in
deed, and a Supreme Court Judge thus
attired would be no less SO.

Railway in North Carolina and to defend
and excuse the robbery of the people
by the trusts, rails at the News and

other States applaud the policies advo-
Gated by this paper Never in its ex-

a measure that offended either of the fol-
lowing classes:
J. The Southern Railway;
2. Any trust;
g. Any bar room or whiskey still
A. Any political rascal trying in an
nnderhand way to injure the Demo

5. Any lawyer, selling his professional
ethics, TO improperly influence legisla-

6. Any public official who has used his
official knowledge-like Butler and Rus

repudiatcd debt.
All these classes-AND NONE OTHERS

Ottawa Herald: The Roosevelt idea
OF keeping the Sabbath day holy Is In
rather marked contrast to the Puritan
Sab bath which our ancestors knew
and which is still q striking feature
OF religious life In many communities.
President Roosevelt, after attending
church, held a breezy reception for
the friends which crowded around
him, and devoted the afternoon to
innocent recreation. 1t Is not I'M
probable that he attended to some
OF the nations business after return
ing from his long horseback ride over
the prairies. President Roosevelt is q
religious man. He is an active mem
Der Of one Of the protestant denomina-
tions and he applies Christianity in
his everyday affairs. He exemplifies
the progress that has been made in
religious thought from the period
when religion was an institution Of
fears and iorebodings and the Sab
bath day an occasion surrounded by
gloom, devoted to religious supplica-
lions to be delivered from the sinful
influences OF the world. 1t is no part
Of Mr.. Roosevelt's duties to set an
example to the country in the reason
able observance OF q Christian Sab
bath; but he seems to have done so,
and II the doing Of it was unconscious
as 1t dou btless vast was no less
effective.
