LOWER FREIGHT RATES DE-
MANDED.

The Atlanta Journal is making q
fight for just freight rates and says
the question presented to that city is:
els Atlanta to be killed as a distribu-
ting point?' Ohio and Virginia clties'
by reason of exceptional advantages
get business that belongs naturally to
Atlanta. North Carolina cities are dis
eliminated against even more than
Atlanta. The business interests should
unite for lower freight rates, for IN
both ''the jobbing business is being
throttled" and manufacturing estab-
lishments are forced to surrender pro-
fits to sell at all.
Let Atlanta, Raleigh and all other
large towns unite to demand lower
freight rates.

Wholesale Contempt.

IdIDOIO DOulIleluSI.
According to the report published
in the Raleigh Post giving the pro-
ceedingS instituted by Judge PEBBLES
against the Robson county lawyers to
have some other Judge try the cease,
Judge PEBBLES is reported to have
said:
''Well, l may find a Judge who
is not interested in politics or the
Haywood case and is not n candi-
date for office. | don't know
whether | can find such a one or
not, so I'll overrule your motion
for the present and let you ex-
cept; then if | should discover
Judge willing to take the burden
I'll let you choose between that
Judge and me-"
Such speech would disgrace a
Justice of the peace, and for it to be
uttered by a Judge of the Superior
Court, who is then trying members of
the bar for contempt of court 1t is
simply disgraceful, a wholesale con-
tempt of every Superior Court Judge
in the State.
Using the same words that the
Sheriff of Robson county sWore that
Judge PEBBLES used with reference TO
the conduct of the Robson county
lawyers, it is ''the damndest thing that
ever happened in North Carolina,
and when he gets through with IT, 1t
will not happen any more.

THE BRAYING OF AN ASS.

Count that day lost whose low de-
scending SUM- sees no professor in the
Chicago university make an ass of
himself. The men in that institution
seem to think. that they must play the
freak in order to accomplish anything.
The latest freak is Prof. Frederick
Starr who declares that if Japan is
successful in the war with Russia
the doom of the white races will be
sealed. "The war in the East" he
says lis a war of races and not war
of nations. Every race has it's day, just
as every dog has it's day. The day of
the white race is almost past. England
is on it's last legs. Statistics show that
one child of every hundred of English
birth becomes a lunatic. The country
is exhausted and it's strength is on
the wane. The same thing is true all
over Europe"
All the same, we advise the white
race not to commit suicide to avert
the calamity predicted by the Chicago
freak. 1t is probable that the white
race will live to attend the funera,
of every yellow man in the world
though we hope not There is room
enough for all.

There is a strong possibility that the
Norfolk & Southern Railroad will In
the very near future, make electricity
the motive power instead of steam and
instead of operating trains will use
trolley cars.
This information is given out by a
gentleman we'll informed in the affairs
of the Norfolk & Southern and who
is closely associated with the new
president, Mr.. A. H. Finch. The come
pany have already received cars for
use on the line for Norfolk to Virginia
Beach and they are capable of making
a speed of sixty miles per hour. The
poles are already being placed and 1t
is expected that the line operating
between Norfolk and Virginia Beach

Just why Mr.. Finch, who owns the
Chesapeake Transit Company, should
have purchased the Norfolk & South
ern has not been clear to those who
are versed in railroad affairs but 1t is

to get the Norfolk & Southern out OF

this is completed it is his intention to

STANDING BY THE BAR.
The People of Robson County Stand
As a Unit With the Lawyers.

Writing of the presence of many
people from Robson county at Fay
etteville on Saturday at the first hear
ing OF the contempt case, Rev. z. r
Law says in the Lumberton Robson
ian;
1.-THE interest in the case was wide
spread and deep. The proof of this
was seen in the full court room and
the character of the men who made
up the crowds. 1t was a fine crowd
from Robson and a crowd of superb
Robesonians. More could not be said
of any crowd in the finest of State, our
own North Carolina. We dare not
risk ourselves to estimate the num-
Der. 1t was spontaneous Outburst
of loyalty to their own and to what
they conceive to be the integrity and
dignity and inviolable manhood of her
honorable countrymen. There was no
malice but stern resolve to intercept
by all legitimate means the degrada-
ton and her reputable citizens. Rev
erence for law and the courts set to
administer it was engraven on the
hearts of that fine looking and rep
resentative body of men that came in
on every train to fill the court room
The county is proud of it's bar and
with reason. The intelligent citizen
ship of the county knows the worth
and appreciates the service of bar
that stands for all that is educative
along wise lines, for patriotism, for
the material and mental and moral
veal of the people, and hence any
thing that looks like impairing it's in
fiuence, furnishing its name, assault
ing it's dignity, is instinctively resented
and courageously resisted as a matter
of course. This much to explain why
1t was that so great a crowd laid
down their work and went to Fayette-
vile last Saturday,

"You see," said she in her naive manner,
"my long and tedious illness made sad in

alarmed and thoughtmy daysweTe numbered.
OF course l lost flesh from the consuming
fever, and my nervous system was almost
wreck, so that when commenced TO recover
it became necessary for me to take a strong
tonic Notwithstanding that would build
up my wasted and shattered condition. AT
this time friend told me OF the great heal
ing and vitalizing powers of TO-Nl-TA, the
new and wonderful Mucous Membrane Bit
tiers discovered by DIR. LorentZ, and with the
approval of my own physician, DIR. Henry
w. Frauenthal, commenced to take 1t.
must say that from the very start 1T gave me
fresh vigor and vitality and acted like magic
in bringing me back to health and strength.
1t contains some latent and subtle power,
and it's nourishing, vitalizing and healing
qualities are really miraculous. When got
on my feet I soon became tired and exhaust
ed, and before starting for the theatre | al
ways took some of my beloved TO-Nl-TA, as
it inspired me instantly with courage and
strength, and I had no difficulty in going
through the performance.

| recall an occasion when | was playing at
the Circle Theatre, New York. Among the
specialtes was thrilling act by Miss Adjie.
the lion tanner who went through Sucn a
daring and blood-freeZing performance with
the animals while in the cage. Well, on the
afternoon in question, Adiie somehow lost
her nerve and went all to pieces, SO that her
afternoon act had to be omitted. The poor
girl came to me in great distress, and after
telling me that she could not 'goon,' ! at
once proceeded to feed her on TO-Nl-TA,
and when the curtain was rung up on her
performance that night she had recovered
her nerve and courage, and gave one OF the
greatest acts of her life. don't know from
whence or in what manner Dr. LorentZ de-
rived his inspiration, but do know that To-
NI-TA is one of the greatest Godsend's to
mankind"
1t makes no difference how rundown,
weak, wasted or nervous you may be, To
NI-TA will build you up and restore you to
health and strength. Miss Dressler is but
one of many thousands who have been re-
stored through its marvellous powers. You
will feel better with the first few doses and
soon be cured completely. TO-NI-TA is
guaranteed to contain no cocaine, morphine
or other dangerous drug, and Is sold by all

PUBLIC CORPORATIONS SHOULD
NOT BE PERMITTED TO DEFY
THE STATE AND IT'S
COURTS.

Unquestionably one of the reasons
for putting the Atlantic & N. c. r. r.
in the hands of nonresident Receiv-
er was for selfish gain and great pr-
Vate advantage at the expense of the
State. But when it is considered that
resort is. had to a Federal court in
stead of State court, thinking people
have presented to them another rev.
elation. 1t is this: If the road is taken
into the hands of the Federal court,
its order, it will be done to a foreign
er, or foreign corporation, which will
owe no allegiance to the State. When
a citizen of North Carolina has any
difference to settle with the A. & N.
c. r. r. now he can do SO inexpen-
sively in a State court. If a Federal
court sells out this road to a for
eign corporation, or individual, suits
against it hereafter when the amount
involved is over $4,000 will have to be
brought in the Federal court.
Here is common carrier a quasi
public corporation, created by the
State, given a part of it's sovereignty
by the State, viz, the right of emil
nent domain, the right to levy taxes
on North Carolinians. (by which is
meant the sovereign right to collect
freights and collect tolls for carriage)
and which the State has the right to
supervise and control, and should ever
control. The State would forever con-
troll it whether it owned it's stock or
not if it was sold or leased by and
through State authorities. But if a
Federal court disposes of it it will
forever pass from the visitorial power
of control of the State courts.
If one wants proof witness the his
tory of the State and transfer of the
Western N. C. r. r. to the Southern
by the Federal court, whereby the
State is bereft of it's control over the
most valuable property.
What remedy has the State when
the creature of it's own creation can
thus elude it's control and be put into
the hands of foreigner to use, OPP
crate and control a vast enterprise
clothed with q part of the sover-
eighty of the State? None, unless the
Legislature and the courts of the
State annul the franchises. and this
she ought to do in every instance
when a foreigner undertakes to use
and control one of these roads with
out submitting to the control of the
State. The object lesson now before
the people is important valuable.
1t must be used to enlighten and
inform. Let the people consider in
time and demand a Legislature, a
Governor and judges who will see to
it that these public corporations
note, these public corporations-jus
as private corporations and individu-
ais must and shall be controlled by
the State, their creator, or else the
State will revoke their franchises.
Herein lies the States protection.
Repeal charters when the creature
becomes superior to the sovereign,
whether of it's own volition or at the
dictates of a foreign corporation
through the medium of a Federal
court
