A MAGNIFICENT PAPER.

One of the handsomest industrial
papers that has appeared in North
Carolina in this era of splendid edi-
tions is the special issue of the Lum-
berton Argus of July 28til Il is
worthy of the great county Of Role
son--and that is praise enough for
any production. The development ard
progress in Robson in the past ten
years has been marked, and the best
thing about it is that every interest
and every section of the county has
prosperad. No giant towns have grown
at the expense of the county; no ag-
ricultural progress has drained the
towns. Towns and rural sections alike
have prospered in a steady way. The
story of this desirable condition is adj
,nirably portrayed and illustrated by
Editor Peterson in this special edition

OFFICIAL CRUELTY.

The story of alleged cruel treatment
of convicts in Cabarrus county is
given greater weight by the refusal of
the mayor of Concord to send any
more town law violators to the chaing-
gang until the alleged maltreatment is
stopped.
Nothing is more reprehensible than
cruel treatment of prisoners Men in
charge of convicts owe them the duty
of self-restraint, and when officials
lose control of themselves and become
guilty of cruelty to men put under
them. they become at once law break
ers and deserve to be put in the ranks
with the men sentenced by the courts
to the chain gang.
The authorities of Cabarrus ought
not to wait until suit is brought by the
man who had to be treated in a hos
pital for cruel treatment. They ought
to, and doubtless will, make a thor
ough investigation, and punish any
man guilty of cruelty with dismissal
and legal prosecution. Official cruel
ty will not be tolerated in North Car

ONE-THIRD LESS.

Referring to the extract from the
Nashville (Tenn.) American with ref
erence to the high insurance rates,
prominent insurance man IN ialeign
yesterday said that the rates in North
Carolina are one-third less than in
Tennessee. This is due to the fact
that North Carolina has strong home
insurance companies and has laws that
insurance men declare to be better
than in any other State.
1t is the part of wisdom for North
Carolina people to carry large por-
ton of their insurance in home COM
panies. They not only keep money at
home but they help to keep down the
rate of insurance because the people
can see better what insurance costs
and the profits made.
