THE FIRST THING TO DO.

MANY important matters will be
brought before the General Assembly
which meets in Raleigh in January
Already certain valuable suggestions
have been made in the public press
looking to this and that progressive
step that would be a blessing to- the
State. Many other ~~estions-some
good and some impracticable-will be
made.
There are two constitutional proVis-
ions that had never been carried oul
when Governor Aycock was inaugu-
rated four years ago--a four months
term of the public schools and the
care and treatment of all the INDECENT
insane in the State. The first has
child in the State has the privilege
of attending school at least four
months in every year. and in most of
the towns an eight or nine months
term is provided. A long step has
been taken in caring for the insane,
as commanded bv the State Consti-
tuition, and many thousands of dol
lars have been expended to increase
the accommodation. 1t is still
matter for State wide regret that the
accommodations are yet not sufficient
to accommodate all who have right
to be taken into these beneficent in
situations.
The first and highest duty of the
Legislature will be to make such pro-
vision and establish such regulations
as will not permit another twelve
months sun to rise on a SIMPLE insane
person in a county, home, a Jail or the
home of any family lacking the means
to send to private sanitarium.
There will be other appeals for en-
largement. The appeal for those who
grope through life with clouded minds
is superior to anv or all demands
which may be made upon the States
law makers.

relentless In many communities,
lynching would have been resorted to
as the best means of avenging the
crime. Wiser counsel prevailed, the
negro was arrested and taken out of
the county by the authorities until
the regular term Of Bladen court. He
was carried back, given a fair trial,
convicted, sentenced to be hung. and
on Wednesday he was executed by
the legal authorities.
Bladen has set a good example

people in every county in the South
1t would be a reflection upon the

Failed to Ride INTO Office on Whis'

The white men OF North Carolina
bv large majority are in favor or
TEMPERANCE and are opposed to bar
rooms ana whisley stills; This was
f,lIlv proved at last weeks election.
Tho Democratic party is entitled to
the thanks of every friend of tenn
nerance for it's passage of the Watts
law and its defense during the re-
cent campaign Many Democrats
feared that the passage of that law
would almost wreck the party, and
that argument against its passage was
strongly urged when the bill was pend
ing in the last Legislature. When the
state convention met last June at
Greensboro many Democrats thought
that an endorsement of the Watts law
would be bad policy and probably
defeat our candidates in many coun-
ties.
The result of the election has prov
ed how oroundless were those fears,
and has sadly disappointed those Re-
oublicans who had hoped to ride in
to office on a whiskey barrel.
