the street car company. that organiza-
ton should see that the picnic remains
here.
The date for this years festivities is
still undecided, but will probably fall
on about Wednesday, July 20. The
event is always made much of among
the grocers and butchers. A whole day
is devoted to an extensive programme
games and other athletic sports, music
by crack bands, fireworks, dancing and
in fact no end of amusements, which,
nave marked the picnic as one of the
biggest events of its kind in the state
for a good many years past.
If the grocers decide to go elsewhere
than Topeka, Tecumseh will be favored
by a great many, because of its near
a great many people to drive to the
grounds. big grove lies close to the
little town and good roads run there
from Topeka The Santa Fe also has
tracks near the place making railway
transportation possible.
At St. Joseph. Lake Contrary is the
big place for picnics. It lies in South
St. Joe and has a great many advan-
tageS which argue in favor of its use.
1t is possible to stop the trains south
of the city and transport from there on
street cars directly to the lake without
making it necessary to transfer several
times in the city, and taking up con-
siderable time in reaching the picnic
grounds.
The directors of the Grocers' and
Butchers association had a meeting on
Wednesday night when the matters
were talked over. but it was decided to
await President Myers arrival. and the
proposition which he is expected to
make in regard to the matter. If the
picnic remains here, it was estimated
that at least 10000 people will attend
and plentiful arrangements will have
to be made for the crowd to be taken
care of: After a statement is received
from the railway company the directors
Will have another meeting Friday or
Saturday night, at which time the To-
cation will be chosen and the program
committees set to work.

of regular troops to Bonesteel, to as
sist the local authorities in preserving

GROCERS ASK $500.
Demand That sum of City Railway to
Take Picnic to Vinewood.

The Grocers' and Butchers associa-
ton demands $500 from the City Rail
way company to keep the annual pic
mic OF that organization in this city at
Vinewood Park this summer. other
wise the annual festivities will be held
either at the grove near Tecumseh or
at st. Joseph, Mo, says Secretary
Hutchinson.
President L. E. Myers OF the railway
company Will be in Topeka on Friday,
at which time a conference will take
place between him and Secretary
Hutchinson of the association.
A contribution of $500 might not be a
loss to thestreet car company. When the
big picnic was held north Of the city
last year almost 5000 people attended,
so it is said Should that number go to
Vinewood this year, with the 20 cent car
fare charged for the round trip, an IN
teresting pile of money would be in the
hands of the street car company after
it is all over with.
The railway company is anxious to
have the picnic go to Vinewood Park
as has been evidenced by interviews on
the part of the Grocers with Secretary
Kelley, and limitations were given out
by the latter that Mr.. Myers would
probably have a proposition to make on
the subject when he gets here on Fri
day. Aside from its money value to

is as old as the Psalmist. Read the

you will find David's answer to this
ever recurring question. 1t was that
answer that the preacher applied in
his sermon today.
We too often hear preachers COM

there must be the divine spark or no

A BLUFF THAT WAS CALLED.

When that pestiferous and unre-
known as the Republican party met in
convention in greensboro they threw
down at the door of the Democracy
various and sundry charges of de-
ception, extravaganza and general
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of the State gov
eminent. Having done this. they
raised a great howl, and tossing aside
their hats. shocking off their coats
and rapping the door with their
knuckles, dared any one to come out
and answer the charges.
That was weeks before the Demo-
cratic convention met. When it did
meet it nominated one of the strong
est tickets the State has ever had the
privilege of voting for and imme-
diately the men composing it sought
permission to take up the challenge
previously offered by their opponents
in the Republican platform. Chairman
Simmons accordingly opened up cor
respondence with Chairman Rollins
with a view to arranging a joint cam
paign. He invited the Republicans to
plain view of the people of North
Carolina and in the presence of those
against whom they were lodged, in
order that they might answer them
if they could, and, if not, stand con-
Victed as charged.
But Mr.. Rollins, who knows that
a bluff is worth aces up to come in
on, but is worthless when called, de-
clined on the ground that those on his
ticket were opposed to joint discus
sions, except between the candidates
for Acknowledgements. So complete
was this Flaw down and so startling
the change in Mr.. Rollins tactics that
in replying to his letter Chairman
Simmons uses these strong words:
In view of the fact that your party
held its State convention first ana
YOUR platform makes divers charges
against the administration of State at
fairs during the past four years by
the Democratic party, ii is surprising,
to say the least, that the candidates
nominated by your party for eXecu-
tive and administrative positions i'm
the State government should propose
to limit joint discussion to opposing
on that ticket, whose duty
will be to preside over the Senate.
Mr.. Rollins and his associates in
of the Republican party
probably realize now, as they seem
not to have done at Greensboro, that
making charges is one thing and
proving them is quite another.

LAW OUGHT TO BE ENFORCED.

Certain public-spirited citizens OF
Fayetteville, mindful of the general
welfare and vigilant in the detection
of evil influences, are directing atten-
ton to what appears to be frequent
and fragrant violation of the local pro-
hibition law. The other day, in a
sort of informal investigation cat any
rate, it was not a regular triaD, in
which the mayor, the city attorney
and two policemen in that city were
charged with not enforcing the law
against the sale of liquor, the mayor
was put on the stand and questioned
by Hon. John G.. Shaw. A Whining
ton Star despatch gives this summary
of his evidence:
Mr. Shaw at the outset of the
hearing renewed his charge of open
violations of the law with apparent
impunity. = Mr.. Shaw asked the
mayor if he knew anything about
Peruna. The mayor answered that
he had seen it advertised and knew it
was sold openly by druggists. Mr.
Shaw asked if any effort had been
made to suppress its sale, declaring
that the drug contained 26H per
cent. alcohol. The mayor replied in
the negative and Mr.. Shaw wanted to
ask if the mayor didn't know that
the sale of any article with over 10
per cent. alcohol was illegal under
the Cumberland prohibition law. The
mayor replied yes, but said there were
many drugs which We're necessary
that contain more than 10 per cent.
In response to a question if he were
furnished with evidence of the sale of
those drugs would he have the par
ties indicted, the mayor said he would
if the city attorney so advised. The
mayor said there was a quantity of
Peruna, Hostetter's Bitters and ia
maica ginger drunk in Fayetteville
and that back lots were full of empty
bottles of that kind. Mr.. Shaw said
he had given the Mayor the name of
q man who got drunk on Harris Bit
tiers and wanted to know if the mayor
had had him up for investigation.
Mayor Mcmillan said no; the man
lived out of town and he had been
waiting for him to come back. Mr..
Shaw handed the mayor a batch Of
prescriptions filled by druggists and
filed with the clerk of the court and
asked him if he had ever investigated
that list to see if there were irregu-
laritieS. One of the lists contained
1882 prescriptions from November.
1908, to May, 1904. Mayor Mcmillan
reDl1ou no, IndL SuCn examination
was the duty of the solicitor"
This is not a pleasant spectacle
from any viewpoint, and the condi-
tons appear to be such as all good
citizens in Fayetteville ought to unite
in putting an end to. No matter what
may be their individual views regard
ing this particular law, it is the law
and ought to be enforced until re-
pealed. Any other course not only
reflects upon the community, but it
breeds lawlessness, disorder and
crime.
The duty of ferretir~ out and pun
fishing such infractions of law lies, of
course, with the officers chosen for
that purpose. but if they are remiss |
in that duty, the private citizen must, |
so far as he can, remedy the defect |
by calling attention to the remissness /
and insisting on enforcement of the |
law.

Governor Avcock will go down in
history as North Cardinals 'Educa-
tional Governor" and the Wilmington
Star says our next Governor the
Hon. r. B. Glenn, is to be the In
dustrial Governor 1t makes this
prediction on the strength of some of
Mr.. Glenn's utterances in the cam
paign. In Raleigh, for Instance, he
declared that his hobby would be to
travel throughout the length and
breadth of the State, telling OF its
wonderful resources and inviting peo-
pie of other States to cast their lot
here. The Star very correctly sees in
this plan something of tremendous
advantage to the development OF the
Old North State
