STARTING ON THE RIGHT LINE.

Monroe is to have a new cotton
factory. and the men behind it-Mr.
r. A. Morrow, Mr.. Charley Iceman,
Mr.. w. S. Lee and others-are going
to lay the foundations upon the right
line. They are not going to build
upon a small plot of land in the heart
OF town, but have purchased ample
land adjoining Monroe so that, after
laying off broad streets, every house
for the operatives will have, a large
yard and garden. 1t is the plan to
have all the tenement houses first
class in every respect, built on differ
ent plans and painted different colors
The dominating idea of the men in
charge viii be to contribute to the
comfort of those employed in the fac
tory, make them feel they have homes
of their own and can take an interest
in flower and vegetable gardens. and
to aid them in every way that will help
them in happiness and in citizenship
The Southern mills ought all to see
that sufficient land adjoins all houses
to make the tenement houses really
homes for the operatives and their
families. In the Northern factories,
where the population is dense, it is
necessary to have the operatives con-
fined i'm homes where they have no
yard or garden. But in North Caro-
lima, where land is cheap and popu-'
lation sparse, it should be the aim of
all factory owners to make homes
comfortable with incentive for as
much outdoor exercise and as much
fresh air as possible. 1t is believed
that such homes would prevent so
much moving and changing of sur
roundings as exist where the homes
are huddled together without ade-

THE PEANUT CROP.

There are about a dozen counties in
Northeastern North Carolina and the
adjoining counties in Virginia, where
the growing of peanuts is the most
profitable crop on our farms, 'It
saved the farmers of Northampton
during the year when cotton was
selling at less than the cost of pro-
duction," said DR.. r. II. Stancill, OF
Margarettsville. recently. The crop
is important enough for the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington to
gather information with reference to
it and disseminate the information on
it as well as other staple crops. The
Tarboro Southerner, in making that
suggestion, says:
at is quite probable that peanuts
would be higher if the public we're i'll
possession of accurate statistics, as
approximately correct as those of
wheat, corn and cotton. Uncertainty
suits the purpose of the speculatoI
far more than it does that of the pro-
duCor."
The dependence now for Informal
ton is upon firms dealing in peanuts,
and they find it difficult to obtain ac-
curate information. In recent state
ment by Holmes and Dawson, of Nor
folk, they say that most farmers APP
piled to do not give figures, but say
IAN increase" or some like statement
that does not enable them to make
an accurate calculation as desired.
Upon the basis of information gather
ed they say the peanut crop this year
twill be twenty per cent larger than
last years crop and twenty-five per
cent larger than the 1903 crop. Last
years crop was not large one, but
the market was forced to a figure
which curtailed consumption, lessening
the usual demand of the trade in fac
tory cleaned goods and consequently
resulting in SLOW and stagnant mar
ket the latter part of the season"
They say that peanuts are "a luxury
and when prices get above certain
level consumers look for some sub
stitute or do without" They do not
look for "any advance on prices this
season"

either Kilgo or Duke We're inspired
by actuaf malice towards Gattis or
any one else The order to publish
the proceedings was made by the
trustees some forty days before the
trial.
1t should be remembered by all
who desire to be fair in considering
this case. that Gattis has not sued Kill
% for SANDER in making a speech, but
he has sued Kilgo and two associate
trustees for publishing the pamphlet
containing the entire proceedings, al
leging that such publication was libel
Gus and made out of malice.
The pamphlet appeared to be a full
report of the entire proceedings. 1t

we'll as for him. | became convinced
that the Trustees of Trinity College
not only had a right to order the pro-
ceedingS published but that it was
their plain duty to the great Metho-
dist church of the State to publish
them. as the head of their great de-
nominational college was on trial up
on charges affecting his honor, integ-
rity and character as man and
preacher. / further became convinced
that in ordering such publication there
was no evidence that the trustees were
actuated by malice against any one.
Therefore | voted according to my
individual conviction to affirm Judge
MoOre's judgment.

and do not write this for the purpose
of defending them. I only desire that

WHY "INDIGENT'' ARE CROWDED
OUT

Mrs Armfield is entirely mistaken in
his communication published else
where in saving that this paper has in
any way sought to ''shift the contro-
versy''
This papers position from the first
has been this: that the asylum au-
thorities have received patients. whose
families were able ito pay for their
care elsewhere to the exclusion of i'm.
digent insane who have been thereby
forced to be taken to iails or county
homes.
That statement is true or it is not
true. If true, it calls for immediate
remedy: if not true, the public needs
TO be so informed We have stated
that no pay patient ought to be re-
ceived as long as any INDECENT pa
tient was Vainly knocking at the door
for admission. We have stated that no
person should be received as 'indi-
gent whose family would be able to
care for such patient elsewhere and
that in taking "indigents" the authori
ties ought first to receive those who,
if not taken to the State hospitals must
be cared for in county jails and coun-
ty homes. and that priority for ad-
mission should be given TO the mex;
poorest and so on in order to correct
ly carry out the intention of the MAX
ers of the Constitution in caring for
those in sorest need of the treatme&t
of the State before caring for any
others.
What answer. do the authorities
make to that? They quote decision
of the Supreme court defining an lin
digent." We are making no war upon
that decision. though it may not be
the correct Interpretation. Under that
decision, the hospital authorities might
admit a patient whose family was
abundantly able to pay. but we sub
nit that there is nothing in that deci
sion to warrant in any case, as has
sometimes been done. giving priority
in admission to the best-to-do of the
so-called "indigent" class. leaving the
poorer insane in jails and county
homes.
to urge immediate care in the hos
pitfalls of the insane who are now in
jails and county homes. and to de-
clare that it is inhumane to let such
INDECENT insane remain in Jail this
winter while insane whose families
are able to care for them are treated
in the hospitals.
Governor Glenn has correctly stated
the position that will be pursued in
a letter published yesterday, in which
he said:
"If there is room enough for those
entitled to admission in addition to
the inmates now in. the hospitals, then
all right, for this is legal. but If not.
then those patients now in the hos
pitfalls, who are not INDECENT, but who
themselves. or whose families. have
enough to maintain them in some pri-
vate institution, must be removed TO
make room for the truly in
digent.- for not.a man or woman corr
fined in county, iafls or homes, who
belongs to this class of INDECENT in
sane. must remain there. if they can
be placed in the hospitals by removing
persons who do not strictly belong
to the INDECENT class

GATTIS VS.. KILGO.

Mr.. Editor: l judge from your edi-
torials that you are not accurately
posted upon the legal question in
voved in Gattis VS.. Kilgo. AS no
opinion was written but only a per
curtain stating the result | will state
the case as | understand it without
argument.
The foundation of the action was
the publication of the pamphlet con-
tanning the proceedings before the
Board of Trustees of Trinity College
upon the trial of their president, DR..
Kilgo
mis- pamphlet contained DR.. Kilgo's
speech, which plaintiff claimed con-
tanned false and defamatory state
ments as to plaintiff
The suit was brought against KilgO
and Duke, as trustees for ordering the
publication of the pamphlet. The four
associate justices of the court sat upon
the hearing of the appeal. All four OF
the justices agree that the occasion
in order to recover any damages the
burden of proof was on the plaintiff
to show that in ordering the publ
cation of the pamphlet the defend
ants We're inspired by actual, express
malice.
This is what the Supreme court
heretofore decided in this case as
stated in Justice Montgomery opin-
ion.
The only question presented before
Judge Fred Moore and before the SUI
preme court was q question of law viz:
Was there any evidence of express
malice against Kiigo and Duke :?
At last trial Judge Moore he held that
the plaintiff had failed to show any
evidence of malice against either Kilgo
or Duke. 1t has always been uni
formly held in this State and all other
States in the Union and in England,
upon whose Jurisprudence our laws
are founded. that whether there is any
evidence to prove fact is a prelim
mary question of law for the Judge to
decide. If the Judge holds there is
none. there is nothing to submit TO the
jury. If he holds there is evidence
then it is for the jury to determine
what weight they give it. Each OF
the Justices OF this court gave the
case a long and careful examination.
Voting on appeals before the highest
court in the State is a serious and re-
sponsible matter. The only safe
guide for judge in his individual
conscience and judgment The point
of view from (which a judge looks at
a case after weeks of study is fire.
quently different from the CONCLUSION
arrived at by his brother judge. 1t
is not uncommon for judges TO dlIIeF
upon questions of law. 1t is sometimes
unavoidable. 80 stated in the publish
ed pur curtain of the court, three OF the
four justices hold there is no evidence
of malice against Duke. Two OF the
justices are of the opinion that as
to the publication of the pamphlet,
(Which. is the cause of action) there is
some evidence of malice against kllgo.
while the other two are equally firm
in their conviction that there is no evil
dence of express malice against Kilgo
and that Judge Moore's decision
should be sustained. Lii cases of dj-
vision the weight of the decision of the
Superior court Judge is thrown in
the scale and his decision stands.

himself $4,000 a year, and other
members of his family. who hold
subordinate positions under him, near
ly twice as much more. Can any one
believe that it takes more ability to
manage the insurance company than
the bank? Or is it matter of eXper-
fence? Then let US ask how much eX-
perience in the insurance business had
Mr.. Paul Morton when made presi-
dent of the Equitable at a salary OF
$4,000 a year? Does any one think
the position of an insurance official
more important than the Presidency
of the United States? And yet more OF

FARMERS STANDING FIRM.

Ex-senator Joseph A. Brown says
that Columbus will hold one thousand
bales of cotton ninety days for fifteen
cents. 1t is evident that many farm
ers will do likewise throughout the
South. If they get fifteen cents for
100000 bales, it will make the crop
average the spinners twelve and q
half cents, and nearly all goods are be-
ing sold at a price that leaves a profit
at thirteen cents for cotton. If the
crop is not more than ten million
bales. the law of supply and demand
would give an average price of twelve
and half cents.
