Wide Difference Between Buyer and

That four-ffths of Walla Walla
county's wheat crop still remains in
the hands of the growers, was the
opinion advanced by J. G. Scott, buyer
for William Jones, this morning. Placs

bushels as high estimate only 100000
bushels have been, disposed of, one
third OF which has been bought up by
mill companies Of the county to be
ground into -four and kindred pro
ducts. The wide difference between
buyer and seller precludes any gen.

NEW CONDITION S IN THE
SOUTH.

DR.. T.. A, Alderman, president of Tu-
lane University. is one of the most con-.
spcuous of our southern educators, and
never makes a public address without
saying something striking. lie Is true
southerner, but he is frank and honest
and is not afraid to declare the truth as
he sees It. In recent address at the
North, referring TO the situation In the
South that preceded the war, he said that
the system then In vogue did not pro-
duce in any just degree either wealth or
letters. that II arrested immigration,
branded labor, m!nimized invention.
empha sized the caste feeling, and set the
badge of pauperism on the schools OF
the plain people
This statement Is in part misleading,
but 1t is in the main true. The South
produced splendid men and women. and
there are those who say that southerncrs
have degenerated since the war. There
Is much to be said in behalf of the
old southern customs; there Is much o.
be said OF our chiyalry. OF our high

THE CArlPBELL VERDICT.

The House Committee on Courts of JUS
uce after having carefully investigated
the charges against c.. j.. Campbell,
Judge Of the County Court Of Amherst,
have unanimously decided that The Is
guilty on three of the counts. and will
recommend that he be removed. The
verdict Is no surprise, to those who have
followed the evidence. We do not see
how an honest and intelligent committee
could have reached any other conclusion
Judge Campbell is not to be judged by
single act. We think he was guilty OF
conduct most reprehensible in q judg,
when he publicly cowhided the preacher
It was his business to preserve the peace.
to uphold the law and to protect the man
whom he. by process of law. had brought
within tho Jurisdiction OF his own court.
But that was not all. 1t was shown IN
the evidence that this cowhldlng affair
was but the elimination OF career.
Judge Campbell had been a courthouse
politician a political wire-puller the
leader OF political faction and author OF
the "Campbell system OF politics. He
was known as quarrelsome and fight
Ing man. and was time and again In
volved in personal difficulties more or
less serious, IN one of which. according
to his own account, he kicked an old man
in the mouth and knocked his teeth down
his throat. The cowhlding Of the old
preacher was we'll in keeping with his
habit OF life.

North Carolina Sentiment.

b. n
Referring to. the Presidents letter to
Clark Howell, the Newberne Journal
says:
&"The South does not fear social equal
ity with tho negro; that Is impossible.
The 'incomprehensibe outcry Is not one
Of fear; rather OF incomprehensIble sur
prise that any one should be so blind,
as President Roosevelt has been, In fall
ing to see and understand the South as
1t actually Is"
The Wilmington Star thinks the Legis-
4lature made a mistake in not giving, in
the Watts bill. the privilege Of local op-
ton to the people Of the rural districts
as well as to those of the Incorporated
towns. 1t says;
''The plain people Of North Carolina
are quite jealous Of their rights and the
effect OF this discrimination against the
country people will be seen In the cleo
tions Of 1904

but there has been q general up1irt Of
the people. there are more, many more,

THE LIQUOR QUESTION:.

We have devoted much Of our space to
the discussion. of. the liquor question, and
Il have printed practically every commune
r cation on the subject that we have re-
ceived. We have also presented our own
views in eXtenso, for the reason that this
is a very live question, a question OF
morals as we'll as of politics. and It Is
our earnest desire to have the problem
yolyed in the best interests Of society.
This paper is not arrayed on the side of
prohibitionists. nor on the side of liquor
dealers. We do not regard the prohibit
tionists as party, nor do we regard the
lquor dealers. We are thinking of So
ciety and good government, and we are
earnestly DESTROYS of knowing what is the
best method of dealing with this subject
and Of seeing that method put into op-
Grafton.

to be saved by legislation was in danger
S of he'll fire; that the youth who wished to

! A8WORD OF WARNING.

Y q The change III our system Of taxation
n has caused more or less uncertainty N
thc matter Of the States income, In
other years It was easy to estimate 117
Il what the revenues would be, put AZ
present the authorities are more or less
al sea, 1t is hard to know how the
change Will affect the revenue from a
4 certain class Of personal property, so
4 called how It will affect the charter
y fees. whether or not the increased rev.
4 en,,e from the railroads and from other
q sources will be sufficient to offset the
loss from the production In the general
Il levy.
II we do not mean to intimate that the
3 revenues will be insufficient to meet the
4 interest on the public debt and current
Il expenses There Is every reason to be-
lleve that they will be ample, but there
VI is some uncertainty, and the credit Of
q !ho State Is not to be trlfed with. A

That the interest on United States bonds

more definite is known concerning the
practical operation Of our new tax sys-
r lem, 1t behooves the General Assembly
Ito be very careful abou expenditures,
and we would pass along the word OF
warning.
!. The extraordinary appropriations al
4 ready made amount to $650oo
s Other proposed appropriations now
i pending are as follows:

We are not sounding an alarm, for
there is no occasion for alarm. But
we are giving warning. We direct the
attention Of the General Assembly and
the attention Of the public to these fig
ures. If all these appropriations are.
voted the State may be embarrassed
when pay day comes. Therefore. let

4 we once heard a prohibitionlst saytta'
prohibition began in the Garden OF Elder lei
with the command Of the Lord to Adan
and Eve thatfth should not eat OF the
fruit of tho Forbidden tree, On tne con.
trary, that was free agency. Our hrsi
parents were commanded not to do TINS
thing, but they were givet, absolute ~ ~
erty to choose for themselves between
good and evil, According to the doctrine
Of prohibition. this tree which constituted
their temptation would never have been
pitt in their way, or once there as !
temptation. should have been removed.
In the next place our correspondent
wants to know IL we do not think that
nthere ought to be effective legislation
10 protect the weak and helpless against
the savage fury Of drunken naniacs.'
OF course, we do. We think that drunk drunk
ards should be Held to strict account
for their acts. we do not think 1t any
excuse for crime that the criminal was
under the influence Of whiskey at the
time. On the contrary, this seems to us
but to exaggerate the offense. II q man
voluntarily puts himself in state OF
responsibility he must pay the penalty
Of his misdeeds. We are In favor Of ar
resting drunkards when found on the
streets and OBTAINING them in
prison until they have sobered up In
the case Of those who have become per-
manently insane from drink, we are in
favor of combining them in asylums for
the insane and treating them as other pa
tents are treated.
Finally our correspondent takes us to
task for saying that 1t Is no crime to sell
whskey. lie taoitly admits, however,
that this is true in a. measure at least
that is to say, that it is no crime to
sell whiskey for medicinal purposes. But
he asks is we do not think it ought to
be made a crime to sell Hthiskey for s"bev-
erage purposes Certainly not. First Of
all, how could such q law be enforced?
How could a dealer know in selling whis-
key whether 1t was to be used for medici-
nal purposes or for beverage purposes?"
The only way to enforce such law
would be to make It a crime for man
to buy whlskey except for medicinal pur-
poses. and whenever the people Of the
United States or Of any State get them
selves up to that degree Of fanatcsm
personal liberty will be gone
1t is impractlcable to abolish alcohol
and so long as alcohol is In existence it
Will be more or less abused by some peo-
pie. Therefore, the rational thing to do
Is to address ourselves to the question
Of regulating the sale Of intoxlcants in
such way as not to interfere with the
rights of those who use it moderately
and to their comfort, and at the same
time to reduce the Incidental evil to its
lowest terms. 1T is that view Of the
question to which members of the Con
eral Assembly must address themselves In
framing legislation.
