Good Effects of Watts Law.
lincoln Journal.


Wonder what our Republican
friends have to say about the effect Of
he Watts law on our criminal court
locket? Before the Watts law went
nto effect it usually took until Wed
nesday and sometimes Thursday to
inish our criminal docket. Then the
crimes for which the offenders were
tried were much more serious There
would be a long list of ARRAYS, assaults
and other crimes which could be
traced directly to Whiskey. Compare
that With the term Of court just end
ed: The criminal docket was OPEN
ed between eleven and twelve O'Clock
Monday morning ana by five in the
afternoon of the same day was finish
ed. In the meantime the court had
taken an hour and a half recess, or
in other words, about four hours We're
consumed in finishing the criminal
docket of Lincoln county, and it has
been five months since we had Il term
OF court, too. Something has caused
this great change, what is it? OF
course, the good citizenship of our
county has contributed much to this
happy state of affairs, but another
cause is the absence Of that great
cause of crime--Whskcy Before the
Watts law went into effect we had
more crimes and Of course longer
courts. Since the law went into eff
feet our court has dWindled to almost
nothing. There is food for thought
in this

The Error OF The Students.

Wilmington Despatch.
We regret to see that a disagree
ment between faculty and students at
he Agricultural and Mechanical Col
,ege has occurred, and in the same
breath we want to commend Presi-
lent George T. Winston on the stand
ne has taken. The college is now at
/ critical stage in its growth and any
nisstep win work greatly to it's disad-
vantage 1t would be far
better for the college in the end to
wen close it's doors for a session than
0 have to surrender its independence
o the student body. Boys are sent
O college to study and work hard for
IN education, and the faculty may
always be depended upon to lay down
he best rules for the promotion of
, earning and for the advancement of
he institution. When students have
he upper-hand of any school you may
est assured that such a school is in d
)ad way. It is to be hoped that the
toung men who are at the head of
his trouble in Raleigh will see their
.rror before they take a rash step.
Nearly every member of that large
BODY of students went to the college
.or the purpose of receiving an edu-
,atiOn and there is not q hand full OF
he five hundred who can afford to
give up the chance to receive, a col
egiate education which will prepare
hem for the walks of life. Do little
thinking and reasoning, young men
You are on the verge of a very seri-
1us blunder in the very beginning OF
YOUR lives President Winston is per
fectly, correct in his position. He
should maintain it.

that he would be otherwise than Just
10 the a. and M. cadets. There is ne
cessity for discipline in any collegiate
institution and it is the purest pre-
sumption for the student body to as
sumo to dictate to the faculty, who
can but have the interest of every

President Winston is eternally right
in his determination to enforce such
rules as look to the protection of the
morals of the A. and M. College.

DR.. Winston both as q college presi-

ATTEMPTED KILLING.

Firetraps-A War Of Towns-Bristol
News Sold.
Another sensational case of alleged
attempted poisoning Is developing In
Bennington county. Eugene Sargood
and John Doyle of Arlington were ar
rested Friday Jan. Is, and taken to
Bennington. The charges against Sar-
good are that in April, 1908, he at
tempted to poison two colts, valued at
$3.50 each, belonging to Robert Blair,
by giving them paris green. II Is also
claimed that in the same month he at
tempted to poison Sanford Hicks and
Carrie Hicks, his wife, by having a
solution of potash, concentrated I've, in
some tea cups on the table in the HICKS
home. It is said that Hicks started to
drink the potash but burned his mouth
severely and spit 1t out. Sargood at
the time of the alleged poisoning, was
anxious to secure license for the sale
of liquor and Hicks occupied an old
hotel site which II is alleged, Sargood
was DESTROYS of securing, because he
considered 1t a good stand. The pro-
gram, 1t is rumored, was to have Blair,
who owned the colts appointed one OF
the license commissioners Sargood is
said to be something of politician.
Detectives from Boston as well as local
officers have been at work on the case
since last April and residents of the
town have helped furnish the funds to
prosecute the Investigations. The re-
suits of the Investigations were placed
before States Attorney Stakeholder,
who filed an information. Doyle is
charged with completely in the colt

The two were brought before Judge
Watson Jan. IS who held Sargood In
