sion has done it's duty in the matter
and has issued this order and the mat
ter is now in the courts, and the case
will be watched with deep interest, not
ONLY by the people of Eastern North
Carolina, who are greatly inconVen-
fenced for want Of the connection, but
by the whole State, for the breaking
of the connection has injuriously af-
fected all the people who travel from
eastern to central and western North
Carolina Judge Philips and Mr.. w.
S. Clark, chairman of the Board of
County Commissioners of Edgecombe,
and Mr.. J. r. Gaskill, chairman of
the Board of Education of the coun-
ty, are among the other witnesses
here from Edgecombe county with
Judge Philips. Quite a number Of
witnesses from other parts of Eastern
North Carolina all testifying to the
great inconvenience caused by the
breaking of the connection.
Speaking about the matter last
night, gentleman said: 81 do not
think that the Coast Line would Sc
riously have contested this matter, ex-
cept that all the railroads wish to
take out of the hands of the Commits
sion, by judicial construction, if posi-
BILE, the right to require connections
between different railroads. The rail-
roads have usually submitted to the
orders of the Commission, but they
have never liked to do it, and they
hope now that they can get this order
annulled and have. the courts to de-
clare that the Corporation Commits
sion cannot compel two lines of rail-
road, where reasonable and practi-
cable" to make connections. II the
courts do not side with them, they
hope to get the Railroad Commission
Act amended, so as to repeal the pow
er now sought to be exercised. This
case is along the same line as the
Southern railway case brought from
Greensboro, where it is sought to have
the act of the Legislature, requiring
railroads to deliver cars to shippers
within a given time, declared illegal.
The truth is, the leading railroads IN
the State seem to be wishing, now
that the Corporation Commission has
enforced legislative acts in the inter-
est of shippers and passengers, to cur
tail it's powers. Some of them be-
lieve that the Commission has exceed
ed it's powers and they wish to have
judicial construction of the Rail-
road Commission law before the Gen
eral Assembly meets next winter to
the end that if the laws granting
these powers to the Commission are
held to be legal, they may secure their
repeal if their present plan of try
ing to control the next Legislature
does not miscarry.'

THE LATE JUDGE SIMONTON.

Hon. Charles II. Simonton. United
States Circuit Judge for the district
embracing Maryland, Virginia West
Virginia, North Carolina and South
Carolina, died in Philadelphia yester-
day. He had been quite sick for some
days, and since Friday no hone has
been held out to his family that he,
would recover.
Judge Simonton was a native OF
South Carolina and long a leader of
it's distinguished bar. In Mr.. Cleve-
lands first administration he was ap-
pointed Federal Judge of South Car
DINA, and in Cleveland's second term,
upon the death of Judge Bond, he
was promoted to the Circuit bench,
and held that position at the time or
his death His last appearance on
the bench was in Raleigh when the
receivership of the Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad, temporarily grant
ed by Judge Purnell, was vacated.
Judge Simonton was a scholar; a
learned lawyer, and presided with dig
nifty and impressiveness. His opinions
showed that he was VOL versed In
the law and gave him rank among
men of the highest legal learning.
Perhaps the last work of import
ance upon which he engaged was a
valuable and interesting article on
The Century of Politics in South
Carolina" written for the Centennial

"HIGHER UP FOLKS" CANNOT
CONCEAL RESPON-
SIBILITY.

Two incidents of the past few days
have brought clearly to the minds OF
the people the truth that, in most
duplicity and rascality, there is a pow
er higher up" who inspires the dou-
bic dealing or the wrong doing.
Take the case of the frauds on the
government directly by whiskey COM
panies and gaugers, our Greensboro
correspondent says that the authori-
ties are certain that these gigantic
steals could not have been success
fully carried out without the tacit
connivance of officers HIGHER UP
than the gaugers and store-keepers. -
The government officials will be able
to fix responsibility and punish those
''HIGHER UP" if they are really de-
trimmed to do so.
The other instance was when Mr..
Henry a. Page, president of the Ashe~
boro and Aberdeen railroad, writing
to the Morning Post, organ of the
Southern Railway and Cigarette Trust
and Whiskey Ring, said: 81 am con-
WINGED of the truth of his charge that
the tenor of your editorials comes to
you from HIGHER UP"
1t is often the case that the
Higher Up" fellow conceals his iden-
tity. In the revenue frauds he has
so far concealed it, but it cannot be
hid from the public if the government
officials desire to prosecute the man
''HIGHER UP" and make an exon
pie of him. Political pressure may
be brought to bear rot to wash dirty
linen in public and the f.llow
'HIGHER UP" may be shielded IN
these revenue frauds as they have
been shielded in the postal frauds in
Washington City. But Mr.. Pages en-
pert testimony corroborating the tNi-
dence disclosed daily, shows that The
tenor of your (the Post'sl aIi:c: ID Is
comes to you (them) from HIGHER
up"

many OF the newspa pers have given
the Lumberton lawyers the laugh
about these contempt proceedings -
have talked about it being joke on

etc. 1t may not be so funny if some
of these SANE newspaper editors get
in Jail along with the lawyers. 1t is
our opinion that as a defence the
Lumberton lawyers will read the
newspaper comments on the lay
wool case. When Judge PEBBLES
hears these r-wspaper articles read
he may turn the lawyers loose ana

MUST HAVE HAD "TACIT COMM
VANCE FROM HIGHER UP"

The authorities at Washington seem
determined to prosecute the distillers
and rectifiers, as we'll as the storekeep-
eminent of many thousand dollars.
The attorneys for the operator made
a determined night yesterday for de-
lay-the fight always made by men
charged with defrauding or conspir-
acy. Judge Boyd very properly refus-
ed the plea and the trial will begin this
morning. 1t seems that these gigantic
frauds were perpetrated, not only by
the Milton Liquor Company, but by
the Oak Grove Distilling Company,
and the Reidsville Liquor Company
all one concern or in a
gigantic conspiracy to defraud the
government. OF course their opera
lions could not have been
successful but for the collision of
gauger and storekeepers. One gauger
has already been convicted and anoth-
er indicted. Were they the only Off
Gals in league with the operators to
swindle the government? Our Green's
boro correspondent, answering that
question says: "It is certain that there
is an impression at headquarters that
the government could not have been
defrauded OF hundreds of thousands
of dollars i'm revenue stamps alone
WITHOUT THE TACIT COMM
VANCE OF OFFICERS HIGHER
Up than gaugers and storckeer
ers.''
The story of this gigantic swindle,
first published exclusively by the News
& Observer, promises to become a Gel
ebrated case, for our reliable CORE
spondent says: SOME HIGHLY
SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS
ARE LOOKED FOR IN THIS
TRIAL
One of the greatest objections to
the Watts law was that it drove the
swindlers and gaugers, working in
collision to rob the government out
of the coves and remote places where
they could successfully carry on their
illegal operations. Out of the hun
dreds of gaugers, the popular impress
sion has been that many of them were
in collision with the distillers. AS a
matter of fact, many operators have
made it a habit to close down when an
honest storekeeper and gauger was as
signed to their still, and open up again
only when the collector would send
them gauger who would suit" The
Watts law put hundreds of such dis
honest distillers and dishonorable
gaugers out of business. and they are
putting up 1.-The stuff to hire papers
to advocate "a chance for the country
people to vote" and otherwise becom-
ing active for a return of the good con-
ditions where they could swindle the
government on a small scale without
fear of detection.
Denied the right, free from police
protection and surveillance and pub
licity by the Watts law, it seems that
some distillers and revenue officers
those .HIGHER UP" as well as gaug-
ers-have gone into the swindling bus
mess i'm this State on large scale.
Before any arrest was made, this one
concern operating in three places, had
swindled the government out of over
an hundred thousand dollars in reve-
nue. stamps alone. Does anybody be-
lieve the little gaugers alone by col
fusion could have affected such gigan-
tic steals?
Let us look "HIGHER Up" for the
in, Will,
ators. They ought to be punished
along with the gaugers and the opera
tors.
