Impossible for a Man to Be Fair and
Impartial in His Own Case.
Stanly Enterprise.


Whatever the verdict in the con-
tempt proceedings, Judge PEBBLES has
but little to gain. He has made a
foolish display of his power in want
ing to have the case come before him
as judge presiding, and whatever re-
spect he may have been entitled to
before it has pretty near won for him
a contempt that is spelled only with
a capital c. 1t is impossible for a
man to be fair and impartial in the
trial of a case where he is an active
party in the suit being heard, and it
is contrary to all ideas of justice that
such a man should sit as judge in the
trial of his own case. If the lawyers
prove all they allege, it is clear that
Judge PEBBLES is no suitable person
to grace the judiciary of our State
and should be impeached. On the
other hand, if he is not guilty of the
charges he is a very wrongfully per-
secuted man and no amends can we'll
repair the wrongs done him. At pres
ent, the public patiently awaits the
verdict

WILL TREAT ALL FAIRLY.

An unaccountable mistake in yester-
days paper conveyed a totally wrong
impression. Appended to an editorial
endorsing Granville's resolutions, that
made cold shivers run down the back
bone of the bond spectators, was a
news item as to how Granville wOul d

judge. That item belonged in the OK
ford special This paper has taken no

orable gentlemen who are candidates.

Independent companies are out for the
coin as we'll as the trust, and would
doubtless gladly occupy the position of
their powerful rivals who are in the
monopoly, yet the storekeepers have
the common sense to know that the
trust is the head that should be hit
now. The thing to do is to strike at
the top dog. It'll be time enough to
fight the under dog later on.
The only reason on earth that the
boycott plan might not work, is that
it's hard to get the merchants to adopt
it, difficult to institute a uniformity OF
attack. once let all the merchants
become aroused and strike all together
ard the trust will hunt its hole.
Under our laws, which are largely
in the rich mans favor, we have
condition wherein if you drive out one>
crust, another is ready TO take its
place. The only thing you can do is
to adopt the Irishman's motto: when
you see a head hit it." And that's
what the merchants of Stokes county
are going to do.

WHY MOTHERS
WORRY

Did you ever hear a mother
worry over a plump child?
There is no better bank of
health for a child to draw
from than a good supply OF
healthy flesh.
SCOTS Emulsion not only
gives a child weight and
plumpness, but it feeds the
brain, bones and nerves with
strength and active power.

The PeopIe Have Power Over Judges
Statesville Landmark.

The Landmark had hoped that
Judge PEBBLES would have the good
sense not to press the proceedings
against the Robson county lawyers,
but now we are glad he has pressed
the case, for the charges the lawyers
make against him should be inveSti-
gated, and if they are in anywise true
he should be promptly removed from
the bench. If they prove true and this
contempt case results in his removal,
as many people believe it will, the
State will owe the Robson lawyers a
debt of gratitude for having the nerve
to stand out against an unjust and
unfit judge and expose him.
Judge PEBBLES persists in being the
judge of the law and the facts in his
own case, and occupying this position
he has the power to adjudge the Robe
son lawyers guilty of contempt and
punish them Let him dare to do it.
The people of North Carolina have
power over judges and we are of the
opinion that they will exercise 1t IN
this case, unless Judge PEBBLES can
show that he is greatly wronged and
much maligned man.

would equal if not exceed the cost of

what the Commission wants and
what the people want is the restora-
tlon OF the Selma connection. The
southern should not have been per-
mltted to run up their schedule pend
ing the settlement of the question. If
the Atlantic Coast Line will agree to
get train into Selma by $3.50 or 2:55
p. m, the Commission will order the
southern to hold it's train at Selma
that long. There is no disposition to
impose heavy burdens upon the ATTAIN
tic Coast Line or any other railroad
system. The people of Eastern North
Carolina particularly, backed by those
in other sections of the State, demand
ed the Selma connection, and prop
erly the Corporation Commission
sought to enforce their just demand.
No people have more interest in that
connection than the people of Raleigh,
for the breaking of that connection
lessons the number of people who
come to the State Capitol and the
number who trade in Raleigh. The
breaking of that connection sends peo-
pie of the East to Norfolk and Rich
mond who would otherwise s.mt to
Raleigh.
September is too long a time to wait
to restore the connection. The au-
thorities of the Atlantic Coast Line
and the Southern ought to get to-
gether and arrange a connection. They
can do it with little cost and their re-
ceipts have grown so rapidly that they
are amply justified in making the ex-
penditure.
The people and the Commission are
determined to have the connection. If
the power has not been clearly con-
ferred, the next Legislature will con-
fer it. If the plans proposed fell 10
carry, other plans will be devised that
will succeed. The public demand :or
the connection is a just one, and we
trust the railroad authorities, without
waiting for further litigation, will
make some arrangement of their own
that will restore that necessary and
important and convenient connection.

Baptist minister who is well known
throughout this section for his unique
WAYS of going for those men and

said that he had no argument against
poIygamy, but the mother OF Christ
nracticed it. That assertion was too
much for Mr. Little and we learn that
he told the elder that he could say
what he pleased about Jimmy Little
but he had gone too far in slandering
that woman, and with that declaration
