A CUSTOM WHICH SHOULD NOT
EXIST.

Oxford has numerous colored loafers
Of the male kind who are known
to strike O. lick of work and who are
supported by "cat hole grub" at the
direct e of the white housekeep-
ers of Oxford. We heard a celored
Buck say a few days g that he was
living 10 days to the week as his wo-
mar had stopped working in a
and was now cooking out" And ye.
the northern writer's and orators
pretend to understand this burden OF
the south.-Oxford Ledger.
Oxford is not the only town which
can make such complaint. The same
conditions exist all over the state and.
we suppose, In every section of the
south. It is remarkable that the
southern people have put UP with this
state of affairs SO long. They know
they are being imposed Don by their
servants in the way of pilfering from
pantry and kitchen in order to support
q lot of able-bodied men who will not
work. but depend on the cooks and
housemaids Of the white families :or
their daily food. The truth is the
householders have become so used to
the custom that they do not attach to
it the Importance the situation de-
mands.
There are many evil results from al
lowing this feeding of idle negro men
from u kitchens. Chief among them
are scarcity of labor. petty thieving
and burglaries. Negroes of this class
will not work IL they can get food
without it. Their familiarity with the
cooks and housemaids gives them i.
knowledge of affairs about the house
which is often utilized in making big
ger hauls thar they can get through
their accommodating friends in the
kitchen.
We do not suppose there is another
country on the face OF the earth where
such conditions exist. At the south they
are one OF h consequences OF eman'
cipation. They Mould have been brok-
en- up long ago. and the sooner the
white people put a stop to he custom
the better it will be for the household
ers and for the country generally,
Labor is getting scarcer every year.
Many negroes have moved north, it IS
true. but If all the idle ones around
southern towns were forced to ss.k
work in town or country there would
labor. There are enough here to per-
form the necessary labor K all would
go to work.

There seems to be no end to h new
weekly papers which are springing up
all over the state. Their rapid increase
is an unmistakable sign of improved
educational conditions. 1t shows that
the people of the rural districts are be-
coming greater readers and that there
Is increased desire among them for
ear Of keeping up with current
events. This gratifying state Of affairs
is largely due to. increased public
school facilities and to the rural free
delivery system the government has
inaugurated SO generally all over the
land. These three-the newspaper, the
public school and the free mail delIv-
ery-will work wonders in the rural
districts. They go hand In hand In ed
ucating. broadening of mind and bring
ling the people on the farms in closer
touch with each other and with the
towns and cities. They make life
pleasanter on the farms and thereby
lessen the tendency to migrate to pop
Z ulouS centerS.

Colonel Atkinson:-I have read with
mucn interest your communication in
today's Messenger on president Davis
and General Miles," and. while this
subject is now claiming attention, I
think an error of Mr.. Bradford's which
you do not notice. needs to be exposed.
He says that written orders were
given Miles by the secretary Of wa.
to place manacles upon the hands IND
feet of Mr.. Davis. whenever he nigh.
think it advisable to prevent his IS
cape" This is an error; the order was
given by Charles A. Dana assistant
secretary of war. and for long years
editor of the New York Sun
Pardon me for reviewing some of the
correspondence and orders Of those
days. Mr.. Davis was captured on the
18th of May. General H. w. Halleck,
who had been directed by E. NJ. stan
ton, secretary of war, to have n case
mates at Fortress Monroe prepared for
the reception Of the prisoners, sail i'll
a Letter to Stanton May 49, that he
thuCght a special commander should be
sent to the fort, adding the reason
that 1.-The present one is a faithful of
ficer, but not sharp enough to take
charge of Davis and his crew." Forth
with Miles was mad jailer.
On the 18th of May the steamer Clyde
reached the fort, having on board Mr..
Davis and family, Mr.. and Mrs. c. c..
Clay. and others. Charles A Dana
went down to the fort to supervise the
details of the incarceration Of The
prisoners. Giving an account of tha
proceedings at the landing and rams
fer of the prisoners to the fort, he thus
hints at the sharpness of Miles.
THE cavalrymen were followed by
General Miles. holding Davis by the
right arm" On May % Mr.. Dana, still
at the fort. gave Miles his ORDER:
''Brevet-Major General Miles is hereby
authorized and directed to place
manacles and letters upon the hands
and feet of Jefferson Davis and Gle
ment C. Clay whenever he may deem
it advisable in order to render their
Imprisonment more secure On May
sSth Stanton telegraphed from Wash
ingtoa to Miles: please eDo wheth-
er irons have or have not been placed
on Jefferson Davis. If they
have been. when ii vas done, and for
what reason. and remove them" All
of which will be found in vol. LII OF the
War Records.
So. then, it appears hat Nj. Brad
ford does an injustice to the memoir
of Edwin NJ. Stanton.
/ ave an impression that. not long
after this outrage General Miles. at the
Yarboro in Raleigh. conversing with
some of his fellow officers. took credit
to himself for his services as jailer of
Mr.. Davis. and one Of the officers ask
ed him il he had ever heard OF Sir
Hudson Lowe.

rende great service to the people OF

1t is a matter of history now tina the

the short but decisive conflict that oc-

every man did his duty, how the whites
came into possession of the city and

In 1901. Colonel Morton was again
elected to the Senate. and In 1903 re-
turned to the lower house. He was
unanimously chosen chairman Of the
joint Democratic caucus which. iabored
for over a month balloting on the
choice OF a United States Senator-a-
nally eliminating in the election Of
Senator Overman. Colonel Morton
won merited praise from both press and
public for his ability as a presiding
officer and parliamentarian. md the
comment everywhere was as to his en-
tire fairness in decision.
In addition to the services rendered
in the various positions to which be

chairman of the Democratic Executive

district.
This short history OF his public life
is given to show that the choice OF the
Democratic party could not fall on a

Young in years but well trained by

N~ON-PARTISAN JUDICIARY.

We have never believed in electing
our judges by the people and for stated
terms. Members Of the judiciary
should be non-partisan in the fullesr
n of the term. They should not be
dependent on party conventions for
their nomination or on the success Of
n party or another at the polls for
their elevation to office, and when nee
in office should not be looking forward
TO the results in convention or at the
polls for their retention therein.
Judges should acquire their offices by
appointment and for life or during
good behavior. The election pan
would be less Objectionable were the
judges elected for life. or for long
terms n made ineligible TO re-elec-
ton. Judges are human and nave their
faults as well as the men who elect
them. Under u system most of our
judges are chosen. not because of their
legal ability but because of their
prominence in their party. They go
upon the bench as democrats or repub-
licans and if they wish to succeed
themselves know that they must de-
pend upon their popularity with their
political associates for denomination
and upon the success of their party
pom partisan issues for their re-e,ec-
ton. We do not like to hear OF this
nan being spoken Of as a democratic
judge or hat one as a republican
member Of the court.
These thoughts were suggested by
reading in an editorial Of The News OF
Charlotte this sentence regarding our
states present supreme court:
Among the other blessing that North
Carolina has today it may be mention
ed that the democratic majority of that
court are also ~anti-saloon."

Hon. George l. Morton Is confident
that he will be the nominee OF the Dem
ocratic party for Lieutenant Governor
of North Carolina. This much was
gathered from a conversation held with
him recently by a Messenger reporter.
Mr.. Morton had just returned from
Raleigh and other parts of the state
and he says that every where he was
cordially received by hosts OF friends,
his candidacy heartily endorsed and
the support of many counties assured
him.
Already Colonel Morton informs The
Messenger that enough support has
been promised him to practically assure
his nomination. but he is informed
that many more delegates will be in
structed for him before the convention
meets.
The Democratic state convention will
be held in Greensboro OF June 23rd.
Though young in years, being only
81. Colonel Morton has seen many years
of public life and done valuable work
in party service. Colonel Morton is one
Of the most popular men in the state
and his great host OF friends are rush

taken a prominent part in legislative
work and has filled his offices with

coming more widely known and esteem
ed, and now his friends are glad of an
opportunity to do him service.
Colonel Morton went to the lower
house of the legislature from this coun-
ty in 1894. being the first Democratic
representative from New Hanover in
thirty years. In 1898 ne was elected TO
the Senate. A year later. in 1894. Mr..
Morton was appointed postmaster or
Wilmington and he filled that position
to the entire satisfaction of the bust
ness community.
In 1883, when his term as postmaster
a expired, MI. Morton. who was hen
the head of tbs naval militia of North
Carolina-and in fact of the United
States being President of the National
Association CT Naval Militias which
embraced twenty states. went to Wash
