ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
YEAR.
a success.

When the Carolina Central Railroad
moved their shops from Laurinburg many
Of the PEOPLE of that community felt that
their town was doomed The shops had
long been the chief factor in the business
life of Laurinburg and there was feel
ing that it must retrograde when all the
railroad men were taken to other shops.
AS matter of fact, the removal did tenn
porarly retard growth, but the history OF
Laurinburg shows that, if not a blessing
in disguise, the pluck of the people has
caused the town to grow more rapidly
during the past five years than in any
previous period in its history.
The I.aurinburg Exchange of this week
has the following cheering words:
"The progress which Laurinburg has
made during the past five years is note
worthy. Can you realize that more than
half million dollars of home capital have
been spent here in that time? An average
of more than one hundred thousand dol
lars q year sounds big, yet it is tact
And every cent of it was well spent and
the most Of it is now earning big divi-
dends. The two cotton mills, represent
ing an investment of $3.50, 900; the oil mill,
with $4,000 capital stock paid In; resi-
dences, business houses, public buildings
etc, valued at more than 100000. have
gone UP during the past five years, and
the indications are that this is only be-
ginring of what will be in very few
years. I.aurinburg is undergoing steady
permanent growth.
Keep your eye on Laurinburg! In the
centre of farming section surpassed by
no other portion of the South with a pop
ulation of thrifty, progressive and conser
vative citizenship, it is just now upon the
threshold of the most rapid and solo
growth. Here's luck to that substantial
| and pluclzy burg"

A THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLAR
STEAL.

The biggest and the slickest frauds upon
have been unearthed at Milton. Caswell
county, in this State, resulting in the con.
-.ction of one or more Federal office
IL ,ders, and involving the Collector OF In
t.'nal Revenues office in Raleigh. Else
where we publish detailed statement
showing how the fraud was conceived ami
carr led out. 1t shows that the internal
Revenue officers, whose duty IL was to
protect the government, were in collision
with the distiller, and that the office in
Raleigh seems to be open to the severest
criticism.
Mr.. Duncan is not in Raleigh 1t is not
believed he knew of the swindliu2 opera
tions, but the method of conducting bust
ness in his office seems to have permitted
the successful carrying out of the frauds
by officials under him, or at least did not
prevent the frauds. The gentleman who
furnishes the information seems to think
that Mr. Duncan's bond will have to
stand the loss.
AS TO the magnitude of the crime there
can be no two opinions. The guilty men,
the rectifier and the sworn officials, should
be given the full penalty of the law. Judge
Boyd has said he intended to make an ex-
ample of officials who connived at swind,
ling the government, and here is the time
for him to do so.
No comment is made upon the sugges-
tion that if Mr.. Duncan's official method
had kept the lawful check upon the gaug-
ers the frauds could not have been COM
mitted, but we will await his return to
the city and print his statement with ref
ercncc to the matter.

that gentleman becomes Associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court in January.
The Washington Gazette Messenger,
which favors Col. Rodman. quotes that
gentleman as saying:
Under no circumstances would 1 be a
candidate to succeed Judge Brown, should
the State convention nominate him for
the Supreme Court bench"
Col. Rodman is now serving the State
as Code Commissioner. He is easily one
of the ablest and most successful lawyers
in Eastern North Carolina, and comes by
his legal talent both by inheritance and
requirement, his learned father having
been Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of North Carolina.

LET THE MUSIC PROCEED.

Dupin Journal.
Let the music proceed and let North
Carolina teach McBee, Finch & Co., and
their brow beating, bluffing attorneys that
it's Governor is looking after the State
and it's interest, and that the State neither
needs nor wants meddlesome outsiders,
who even take advantage of the Federal
Courts. as Indignantly admitted by Judge
Purnell, in their attempt to destroy the
already low value of the Atlantic and
North Carolina road. that they may force
cheaper lease than could otherwise be
obtained
Judge Browns decision will meet the
approval of the people of the State, who
know that the State and its present adj
ministration can take care of its own
affairs.
Give McBee. Finch G. Co. time for a
fair and honest trial, and if guilty, as it
would seem, teach them to let us and our
affairs alone in the future.
Under the management of President
James A. Bryan, the stock of the road
has doubled its value from s25 to $50 a
share and there seems no good cause for
such action, otherwise than to wreck the
road for the purpose of a cheap. long
lease.
Yes, turn on the light and let the
music proceed"

III speaking of the case of Judge r. B.
PEBBLES and the Robson county bar,
Father R. B. Creecy, editor of the Eliza
beth City Economist, and the oldest liv-

North Carolina says:
AS to the special complaint against
Judges PEBBLES for his discourtesy to
counsel in the Haywood trial, it
struck us painfully at the time, and
Cnbecoming a. judicial officer who
wears the mantle of courtesy as well
as purity
Now, then, the only way out of this
matter is for the next Legislature to
take a hand, and institute Impeachment,
pre- ceedings, and if the charges made
against Judge PEBBLES are true, he ought
to be impeached.
