NORTH CAROLINA IN CONGRESS-

Editor Josephus Daniels, ct the News
and Observer, has recently spent some
time in Washington, and in his edito-
rial correspondence to his paper he
said nice things for North Cardinals
representatives in CONGRESS. He re-
CARDS Senator Simr,ons as among the
wisest of the new Senators. He has
appointment on important committees,
and has we'll sustained himself in every
respect since he has been in the Senate.
Senator Overman is also fast becom-
ing acquainted with the members OF
the body and starts out with pleasing
popularity. He is man OF line at
fractions and will soon fill an impor-
tant place there.
In the House Mr.. Daniels thinks
North Carolina has seldom, it ever,
been better represented. He speaks OF
all the members from this State as
working members, and this will always
tell in the nations councils as we'll as
anywhere else.
Altogether, North Carolina ought to
feel proud of its representatives in the
Congress.

ABOUT WORKING ROADS.

Almost every man you meet will tell
you OF the very bad condition OF the
roads, but few are willing to comply
with the present law to put them in
good condition and kesp them so.
If We mistake not, the present law
allows overseers to call out road hands
six days during the year. We do not
hesitate to say that If every road hand
In Halifax county were required to do
six days work on the roads every year,
the roads would be In much better con.
d1tion than they are. The truth is,
there is little too much consideration
for the feelings OF others in this mat
ter. The board OF supervisors in each
to" nship should see to 1t that over
seers attend to their roads and give
them the proper working; and in turn
the overseers ought to see to it that
the road hands do proper work on the
roads and as much as the law requires.
Some one may say that it takes too
much time from the field or other
places OF labor, and that Elk days in the
year is too much but If strictly adj
hered to, in the end It would prove to
be an economical expenditure of labor.
Good roads make it possible for farmers
to save time by hauling better loads
and without SO much wear and tear OF
team, carts and wagons. Six days on
the reads by every road hand-good
honest work, such as they would have
to do on farm-will put the roads in
much better condition than they are
now in, and would keep them so.

RABBITT-SNAKE STORY.

Correspondence to The Commonwealth.
Otter Creek, Fla, March IA, 1903
EDITOR THE COMMONWEALTH :-Sev-
eral days ago an old negro brought to
town a live rattiesnake four feet long
and offered 1t for sale. 1t was a very
venomous looking customer, and how
the negro had the backbone to attempt
to capture him is beyond my knowledge.
But he did, and our clever townsman
and efficient doctor, r. D. Mcleod,
purchased him and placed him in a
wire cage for exhibition and to expert
ment with.
A few days ago the doctor, suppoeing
that his snakeship might be hungry,
placed some frogs in the cage, and Of
course the frogs were conside1ate of the
rattler's feelings and gave him all the
room that they could spare. The rat
tier seemed to appreciate it very much
or he wasn't hungry, for he never at
tempted to make breakfast of either
of the frogs. On Saturday the doctor
placed rabbit in the cage, and the
rabbit also gave the snake all the room
possible under the circumstances. The
snake must haye had taste tor rabbit,
for he attempted to bite this one, but
succeeded only in getting quantity of
fur in his mouth, 80 he gave up in
disgust. But not so with the rabbit.
He tasted until Sunday night and
then becoming very hungry, and
having nothing better at hand, he pro-
ceeded to eat Mr.. Snake-or at least
that is the conclusion arrived at, for on
Monday Mr.. Rabbit was III the cage
peacefully licking his chops, and Mr..
Snake was there, but minus a head and
q portion OF his neck. The rabbit
seems to be none the worse for his i'm
promptu breakfast.
The above is hard to believe, but it
is nevertheless true. Scores OF people
saw the snake after his head had been
eaten. The rabbit is still on exhibit
ton at the Office of DR.. Mcleod.

An Anarchist Sheet In Yer
mont Attracts the State De-
partment's Attention
VERMONT OFFICIALS WARNED
Governor Mccullough Notified That
the State Will be Expected to Take
Steps to Keep the Paper Within
Proper Bounds-District Attorney
Instructed to Act.

Montpelier, Vt. Aug. 26.-The state
department at Washington has inform
ed Gov. John G. Mccullough of Yer
mont that there is a revolutionary an
archist paper being published at Barre,
VT. The notification carries with 1t the
obvious suggestion that the Vermont
officials are expected to take steps i'm
mediately to see that the publication
is kept within bounds or stopped en-
tirely.
This action is along the lines estab-
Mshed by the administration to drive
anarchism from the United States.
Secretary Adee says that the paper
has been brought TO the attention of
the state department and is called the
published by f. NJ. Ariani for the Cir
cola Studi Social of that town.
Governor Mccullough yesterday noti-
fled States Attorney +. a. Bailey of
Washington county, where the city of
Barre is located. The governor urges
strongly that the states attorney give
the subject the most careful considera-
ton and take such measures and adopt
such means in the premises as the laws
warrant in investigating the character
of the paper, aat; IL the laws justify 1t
TO suppress the publication. The inves-
tigatiun is now under way.
The state law, however. does not COW
er the subject clearly, and 1t is believed
the only way the paper can be reached
is under the common law.
There seems to be no precedent for
action, as the government has not. so
far as can be learned, taken such steps
before.
During the civil war the military
authorities suppressed newspapers for
attacks on the government.
The Washington officials have given
no hint as TO how to proceed.
Grand Jury to Take Hold.
The September session of the grand
jury begins in two weeks, and II is eX-
pected the subject OF anarchism Will be
presented and some action taken to
drive the suspected reds from the
green mountain state.
The aid of the United States district
court attorney, James l.. Martin, Will
be invoked to bring the matter before
the United States district court in case
the states attorney should decide that
course is the speediest.
The city OF Barre is becoming hot
bed of anarchisnl. although the number
of reds" has not been considered dam
gerous heretofore.

ALL TRAINS MADE MAIL TRAINS
These Will be Under the Protection of
the Government and Any interference
With the Transportation of News
papers, to Which Order Refers Ex-
clusively, Will be Prosecuted.

Washinton. Aug 26.-Postmaster
General Payne, has issued an order
which to all intent and purposes makes
every railroad train in the country 4
mail train. These trains will be under
the protection of the government and
if strike should occur on any OF them
and the transportation OF mails is in
terfered with the government will be
called upon to give protection to the
train crews. Those who interfere with
the transportation of mails will be pro-
secuted.
This order relates exclusively to the
transportation of newspapers, and bag

station shown in the address. While
these packages are in the possession Of
the baggagemen they will be consider
ed as mail and be given the same pros
lection as first class mail, but after
packages are delivered at their destl-
nation the publishers must run the
risk OF having them delivered TO the
addresses.
For months the postoffice depart
ment has been working out this plan
and officials of all roads gladly agreed
to 1t on account of the additional pro-
lection it affords.
Postmaster General Payne's order is
as follows:
Whenever the delivery to outside
news dealers OF packages which can
not be made by the regular railway
postal clerk because of there being no
postal clerk on the train used for the
transportation of such packages, the
baggageman of the train will deliver to
newsdealers packages outside of mail
sack, and while in his custody they
shall be considered as mail matter.
The baggageman shall deliver such
packages at the place shown in the adj
dress.

found without an owner and ride
until he got tired and abandon it wher-
ever he pleased and go home. little
girl in the family also has shown th'a
same tendency to steal and was recent

Arabs house and We're astonished TO
hear from the mother that the fath II
had fixed the boy" so he could not
steal, and consequently he could not
have taken the missing bicycle. Tie
detectives demanded to see the boy,
and were led up stairs, where they
found him sleeping on quilt on the
floor with stout dog chain locked
around his ankle, the other end fasten-
ed to an eyebolt in the floor.
The woman said her husband had the
key to the paddock in his pocket at his

DIDN'T PAY FOR TORTURE.
Professor Mooney Says He Advised
Against Torture at Sun Dance.

Washington, Aug. &c. - Professor
Mooney, of the bureau of ethnology, has
made statement to Professor Langley,
secretary of the Smithsonian institu-
ton, in reference to the Cheyenne sun
dance, which he is said to have encour-
aged. He denies that the dance was
paid for by him in whole or part but
says that 1t was the regular tribal cere-
mony enacted by numerous tribes on
various western reservations every
year Within the past ten years. Mr..
Mooney says he has witnessed four OF
these dances, which were held with the
full knowledge and sanction of the
agent. He denies that any dancer was
strung UP with cords, and says that
of the thirty-nine Indians who particle
pated in the dance recently held, only
one was anxious to undergo the pecu-
liar form OF torture in accordance with
vow of sacrifice. Professor Mooney
says that public council of chiefs was
held and he advised against anything in
the nature of torture, altho he learned
afterward that on the last night of the
dance the man referred to had two Sits
made In his breast with a knife. each
cut being about half an inch in length.
He declares that he was not present
and did not know of the occurrence un-
til the next day. He refutes the charge
that he hired or instigated an Indian to
drag a buffalo skull by means of cords
passed over skewers fixed in the mans
shoulders. He says he was not present
when the man started. but that later
Mr. Seger, the superintendent, who, it
is said, made the charge against him,
witnessed the act and attempted no in
reference.
