Get Children

Measles, scarlet fever, mumps
and whooping cough are univcr-
sally prevalent.
With all these, the disease itself
is often trivial, but the after effects
are very serious.
Close observers say that one
half the people suffer from eye
trouble (result of mcasles), or
bronchial. ear, or kidney trouble
(rcSuit Of other diseases of child
hood).
Now a child in robust health
will throw off these diseases. \

Is THIS JUSTICE?
Charlotte News.

There was more than one exclama
ton OF surprise this morning as the
news became noised abroad that
Arthur l.. Bishop had been sentenced
to five years in States prison for the
murder OF Thomas j. Wilson. Five
years is a small price to pay for tax.
ing the life of a fellow-man, and es-
pecially when the circumstances are
as aggravated as they We're in the
case under discussion.
There were few extenuating circum-
stances in Bishops case. Mr.. Will
son acted probably as any other citi-
zen would have acted under similar
circumstances, while Bishop was in
the wrong from the start. He sinned
when he, a man OF family, paid i'm
proper attention to women; he
sinned when he offered Intoxicating
drink to those young women: if he
did not have evil designs against
them, then the circumstances and
evidence in the case count for moth
ing.
Again, when he entered the Wilson
home at a late hour of the night car
rying liquor, he placed himself in, a
position not only to be ordered out,
but to be thrown out summarily, if
the owner of the house and the father
OF that young woman had seen fit so
to do.
1t was Il horrible affair, contem-
plated from every viewpoint, a fel-
low man slain, mortal sent to face
his Maker, daughter left fatherless
and a woman a widow.
Five years, we repeat, is a small
punishment for a man who, after
committing too grievous sins, adds
to them the crime of shooting down
in his own home a reputable citizen
who attempted to preserve the sane
tity OF that home, and protect the
virtue of his daughter

SOUTHERN RAILWAYS GROWTH,
Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore Sun.
1t is authoritatively announced
from Chattanooga that the South
ern Railway has completed it's means
OF access to all Southern ports East
of the Mississippi by acquiring the
New Orleans & Northeastern Rail
way, which extends from Meridian,
Miss, to New Orleans, a distance of
1913 miles. This rounds out the
Southern's port facilities, since it now
reaches West Point, Richmond, Nor
folk, Charleston, Savannah, Bruns-
wick, Mobile and New Orleans, not to
mention Memphis, st. Louis, Louis
vile, Chicago and Cincinnati. The
New Orleans & Northeastern was for
merly part Of the Queen & Crescent
route, and the acquisition of it gives
the Southern a pretty direct line of
it's own from Cincinnati to New Or
leans. The Southern is said to have
bought also in the same deal the
Alabama & Vicksburg, 143 miles
long, extending from Meridian to
Vicksburg, and the Vicksburg, Shreve-
port & Pacific Railway, III miles
long, extending from Delta, La, op-
posite Vicksburg. If this purchase is
confirmed the Southern will have
made a new departure in crossing
the Mississippi to share in the traffic
of the Southwest. Warrant for this
is found perhaps in the Frisco" Sys-
TENS crossing the Mississippi two
years ago to Birmingham. At
Shreveport, near the Western border
of Louisiana, connection is made with
the Texas Pacific.

Unwise Legislation.
RoXbOrO Courier.

Roxboro Courier.
Below is an editorial taken from
the Henderson GOLD LEAF which
fully expresses our opinion of a
measure which the Legislature has
been wrestling with for some time.
For the life OF us we can't see where
the State gets anything out of the
measure. 1t strikes us as purely a
personal affair. The GOLD LEAF
says:
''It is alright to protect the birds
and in that the GOLD LEAF is with
the Audubon Society, but the $1O
license tax on foreign sportsmen-or
any other for that matter-is wrong
Every bird killed by the average man
who comes into this State for a few
days or weeks shooting costs him
from one to five dollars a piece as it
is and the additional expense of a Ii
cense tax should not be added. 1t
is a narrow-minded, short-sighted
piece OF legislation and ought not tc
become a law"

The price of cotton has made sur
prising gains in the past few weeks
and the indication are that the top
rung has not been reached vet, all OF
which is welcome news to the South.
The chief reasons for advancing cot
ton is the generalincrease in demand
for dry goods from all parts OF pros
porous America, the continued inabil-
ity OF India to raise a normal cotton
crop, and the small crops in Egypt.

lish spinners closed their mills when

now and it is doubtful if they will

Truth Worth Repeating.

We have seen no clearer statement
concerning the Presidents attitude
toward the negro than a brief edito-
rial in the Biblical Recorder of last
week whose closing paragraph was
as follows:
"The President may or maynOt dis
claim it; but he is preaching and
practicing the doctrine of social
equality. In this he does the negro
a worse injustice than he does him.
self. The negro race is now all pros
trated with high notions-not as
pirations but superficial and exceed
ingly foolish pretentions. And the
President is encouraging them. The
South is safe 1t should cease to be
concerned. 1t cannot save the negro
from his misguided friends; it cannot
save the President from his impul
sive and unwise course But it cal
and will save itself"
