Will do good, but as a rule it never

with that which prevents cruelty to
ANIMALS and many others. The va
grant law has a place i'm our system
and might be turned to good ac-
count.
In an address to a party of Missis-
slppi peace officers the other day
about the negro and the vagrant
law, Gov. Vardaman said:
Il want the negro protected in his en-
loyment OF life, liberty and the product Of
his labor and the pursuit of happiness.
l want the mob spirit discouraged in
every way, and the only way to do it is
to enforce vigorously the law against
Migrants, particularly, and all criminals
OF both races. Ii this shall be done, feel
safe in saying that crime among negroes
IN Mississippi during this year will de-
crease 10 per cent
ldleness breeds trouble nearly every
time and the world is too active to
permit drones andloafers. Vagrancy
is not alone among the negroes. The
law aims at any and all and does not
take into account who is guilty.
We would like to see this law get
one real good enforcement for a few
weeks just to see how it would work;
where it would hit.

Dawn of a New Day.
Raleigh Post. lltb.

Raleigh Post, 11th.
Mr. John c. Caddell, in taking leave
of the Raleigh Times yesterday which
paper he has SO ably edited the past
two years, wrote the following, which
is worthy OF place in the columns of
every paper in the State whose editor
has high conception of journalism:
"A new day has dawned upon journal
ism in North Carolina Men can write.
with a free hand and express their
thoughts as free men and not fear the
sting OF party lash. We rejoice at the
presence OF brains. character and back
bone in the journalism of our State. The
spirit OF the business has been revolution
lied within the last half dozen years.
There is never to be one backwa step
in this direction. My party. right or
wrong is thing Of the past. and ought
to be; for questions ought to be decided
upon their merits, and men ought to be
liberal, just, honest and charitable. even
to q political foe. And above all, they
ought to be just and true to their own
party organization. and see to it that
nothing wrong goes unrebuked.
This is not the way to be popular, but
it's the way to be of value to a commun-
ity and to state. The men who are
doing most to dignity and intensity the
spirit OF Journalism in our State are not
riding the popular wave They do not
wish any such position All they want
is the privilege OF thinking, and then be
permitted to express their thoughts in
accordance with the approval OF their
own consciences. AS a last word for
these columns we say: May God promote
genuine, broad-minded, honest, liberal,
Independent journalism in our State. It's
the best thing for the proper develop
ment OF the State and for the education
OF the people. And we can wish no news
paper any more successful career than
that it should be factor in the consum-
nation OF this sacred mission
In copying and commenting on
what Editor Caddell said as above
quoted, the Charlotte Chronicle saws:
Wise words from an editor who has
lived up to them. He is perfectly
right as to the passing OF the party
organ. The people these days care
nothing for biased political views
and one-sided news. They want the
events OF the day, without color and
they want independence in thought.
This no party organ can give them
and they are wise enough to know it.

Kept Within the Income.
News and Observer.

News and Observer.
The Legislature kept within the
States income in its appropriations.
1t was not easy to do, considering
the demands upon its purse--demands
too, for objects that commended
themselves to the approval of the
public.
The appropriation Committee fig
ured closely and when the omnibus
bill was passed it left a surplus of
$2S,4OO in the State Treasury. After
wards supplemental bill of $4,000
for the ensuing two years for the
State Hospital at Morganton was
passed, leaving now an estimated
surplus, of S., 400 for the two years.
That estimate may be relied upon, if
nothing Unforeseen occurs to disturb
the operations of the revenue laws.
1t isn't large surplus, but it is a
surplus and shows prudent and care
ful consideration OF the outgo and in
come of the State.

RAIDING PRIVATE HOMES.
Revenue Officers Search Durham Res.
licences for Blockade Whiskey and
Stills

licences for Blockade Wh1Skey ana
Stills.
Revenue officers in Durham appear
to be adopting the methods OF the
dispensary constables in South Caro-
lima. The Herald says:
The revenue raiders have now come
inside the city limits and search pri-
vate homes for whiskey and blockade
stilling equipments.
Under the direction OF J. L. Dono-
hoe, collector for this district, raiders
entered the home of Mrs. Peasants,
on Watkins street, yesterday after
noon and searched the premises for
whiskey and blockade stills. After
searching the entire premises, every
room in the house and even the stable,
nothing was found and the officers
went away empty handed.
From what can be learned it seems
that the revenue officers received
news from some parties that one or
more blockade stills were concealed
in the house. From United States
Commissioner Moye they received the
necessary papers that would permit
them to make the raid and search.
1t is learned that when they entered
the house Mrs. Peasants was not at
home but servant gave the officers
keys to all but two rooms, these she
could not find. Later, when the search
was still on, Mrs. Peasants came in
and promptly gave them the keys to
the other two rooms. Then the
search was completed and nothing
was found.

rest-search his house from cellar to

concern, The Pillsbury Co., are en-
ploying unique method in advertis-
ing their product, "Pillsbury's Vitos,
The Meat of the Wheat" in appealing
to the Common Sense" of the Amer
lean public.
Their assertions are modest as COM
pared to most Of the cereal food ad-
vertisements of the last few years,
but they carry ring of truth. Their
reasoning is certainly rational; here
is some Of It:
1--WE all believe that Wheat is the
best cereal the Creator has given
mankind.
Pillsbury's Vitos Is nothing moro
nor less than the white heart of this
wheat kernel, cut out by steel ma
chinery, and notwithstanding add
ed-nothing taken away-no adultera-
tion-no flavoring-no coloring-no
cooking.
This product comes to your table
in its pure, white, granular form, an
appetizing dish for young and old.
Easily digested because it retains
its granular form when cooked, never
lunpy or pasty.
A two-pound package makes twelve
pounds Of pure white cooked food,
and Pillsbury quality too. Two gen.
erous dishes for one cent.
We have no competitors because
we are the largest millers In the
world and get the best wheat. Your
grocer will gladly fill your order for
Pillsbury's Vitos because he knows
he sells you satisfaction. Vitos is put
up only in two pound paekages-air
