trouble ana reached the picnic grounds
in safety.
But bad luck was sure to befall
some one Of the party. The girls and
young ladies went wading. and some
one hid the stockings belonging to one
of them. Everyone was to blame for
awhile, but at last they were found in
a hollow tree. This was all that hap
pened, except that we had a pleasant
time. Mary Dale,

THE HAPPY NEXT TIME
One warm summer day about three
years ago our teacher said that we
could have a picnic. This pleased us
very much. He had given us all a
piece. and when we had learned
them the day of the picnic finally
came. p Of course the place we chose
was near the lake. The men brought
down a stove, two tables, and two
ropes for swings. Then the program
began and We recited our parts. When
We were thru our mothers made cef-
fee. set the table and we had our din
ner. After dinner we went down to
the lake and played by the shore
When We were tired of this we all had
a swing. Some had hammocks, which
were of course more comfortable. We
stayed there till quite late. When we
went home we were very tired, but we
said how much fun it would be if our
teacher would let US have, another

THE CASE OF ". r. RI0sBEE.
A Sensation Stopped BY the Sensible and Con
sentative Element.

Especial to News and Observer
Durham, n. c., Nov. That was last
night and early this morning quite a SEN
sation fell III the police court this morn
ing. Mr.. w. T, Riggsbee, a prominent
young man, whose brother was leader
IN the local option fight, was arrested last
night on a warrant sworn out by Rev.
A. p. Barbee, pastor OF the Christian
church, who charged that he disturbed
worship at his church last Sunday night.
On account of the fact that it was gen
orally supposed to be an outgrowth of the
local option fight it was quite a sensa-
ton for several hours. When the case
came to trial, however, Mr.. Barbee with
drew the warrant and Mr.. Riggsbee was
allowed to go his way without defending
himself in the courts.
The trouble over which Mr.. Riggsbee
was arrested occurred last Sunday night,
two nights before the election. Rev. Bar
bee was preaching a special temperance
sermon and asked the question if any one
eve rheard of a woman clerklng IN a sa-
loon. Mr.. Riggsbee occupied a seat in
the front part of the church and answered
the question by saying that he knew OF
several instances of the kind in this State.
He says that the preacher seemed to be
mad and he then apologized by saying
that no offense was intended and that
he answered the question in all good faith
This closed the incident and nothing
Else was heard about the matter until last
evening. when he was arrested and noti-
fled to be at the police court this morn
ing. He at once employed three able law
yers and was prepared TO fight the case
when the warrant was withdrawn and
the matter has again ended.
Mr.. Riggsbee is a son of Mr.. A. NJ
Riggsbee one of Durham's wealthiest cit
liens, and has been a member of the an
ti-saoon league from almost the first He
was not in favor of local option, however
and on election day not only voted for sa-
looms but went to the polls and did all he
could to influence others to take the stand
he had taken. It was probably this act
that caused the warrant to be issued at
all, and when this sentiment was shown
to exist the prosecution was stopped.

Which 10 Probably the Case with This
Young Man Who Faltered at

Pontiac, Mich, March %. - Miss
LESSEE Montross. aged Is, daughter of
II. III. Montross, building contractor
of East Huron street, was to be mar
ried to Herman Russell, of Memphis,
Mich. Herman was in Pontiac; Rev.
l.. s. Stevens, the rector of the Epis-
copal church, was at the brides resi-
dence ready 10 conduct the ceremony;
the dearest friends of the family were
there, all a-tiutter over the affair.
A young man. friend of the fami-
ly, entered. Il have just been talking
with Russell he said to the parents
'Ie isn't coming. He told me TO say
that LESSEE had better live with her
mother little longer" The couple
had quarrel a few days ago and the
girl told him to go and that she would
never wed him. He went. but couldn't
leave town, and the girl got over her
anger and sent word to him that she
wasn'tmad any more, andthat she would
marry him after all. That settled It.
He became a very Independent man
at once. LESSEE wanted him? Well
she couldn't have him. and LESSEE is
not heartbroSen, they say.

While it is surely true that men have
the inalienable right to work when and
where they please il they can find EN-
ployment, it is an equally positive right
for the same men, individually or collec-
lively, to quit work when they are dis
posed to do 40, provided they violate no
contract in so doing. 1t is the interior
ence with the free exercise OF these
rights that occasions most of the trouble
in the labor world, and that frequently
brings organized labor on the one hand
or organized capital on the other into
dIsrepute. Both have learned to zeal
ously guard their own rights; now they
need to learn to religiously regard the
rights OF others.
If union men do not want to work,
they have no moral or legal right to pre-
vent non.u union men from taking the
places they refuse. The right to labor
is God given right, and the unions are
not recognized by the Almighty or the
constitution of the United States.

Why Note

In the general elections, the republi-
cans carry easily every township in Van
Buren, county. 1t is probable every
township in the county will give
majority for the republican state and
county ticket this spring.
And yet we have democratic board
of supervisors. How are they electedF
Why, by republican votes, OF course
There are not enough democrats in any
township in the county to elect super
visor without republican assistance.
We do not believe that all the brains,
all the honesty and all the ability suited
TO the position of supervisor has gravi-
tated to the democratic party in any
township. Indeed, we are sure that the
republican candidates will be found the
full equals this spring of their democrat
ic opponents. Why not have republi-
can board of supervisors? 1t can easily
be done if the republicans will get to-
gether and determine to clean the demo
Gratis up.
"What difference does it maker" some
voters will ask, "There's no politics In
county affairs" And that is just where
some voters make mistake. The present
board of supervisors is and has been the
most partisan of bodies Patronage has
been bestowed and favors granted along
political lines. The supervisors make
the most powerful machine in local poll
tics, and the democratic members have
played the game for all it is worth. The
only democratic machine worthy of the
name in this county is that of the super
visors, and republicans 10y their votes
are helping to maintain it.
While posing as an economical board
county expenses, entirely aside from the
new county bulldogs, have not been de
creased 10y them. We do not charge any
undue extravaganza, but we do declare
that the democrats have been sailing IN
der false colors in their pretense OF
greater economy than was exercised 10y
their republican predecessors.
Gentlemen republicans, get together
and vote your party tickets this spring
While the county buildings were being
erected there was a great deal of talk
that the board that commenced the
work should be reelected to complete it
The buildings are now finished and &C
cepted, and no important work is in pro
Al. H. In
new men.
We believe that the county will bt
benefited by change, and we are sure
that it will be good republican polite:
to make a make a change.
Why not do it?
