Things in a MIDDLE.
Wilmington Messenger.


Things must be getting red hot in
Raleigh The News and Observer says
news comes to it that as the result of
a secret meeting held in Raleigh Sat
urday night a call has been issued
for meeting of the Democratic State
Executive Committee on the 18th in
slant, for the purpose. one report
says, of demanding the resignation
OF Senator Simmons because he
favored the Ward bill; another, for
the purpose of trying to enlist the
a.. State Executive Committee in oppo-
sition to the the Ward bill.
There is one thing about this Ward
bill and it's object We would like to
have explained to us. One of the
purposes of the bill, of course, is to
close the distilleries at Williams and
Shore. The Legislature which passed.
the Watts law chartered these stills
so that they would not be affected
by the provisions of that bill. 1t is
we'll known that Senator Simmons
was the daddy o. the Watts law and
that the News and Observer strongly
advocated it. No one heard of Sena-
tor Simmons using his influence to
prevent the passage of the Williams
and the Shore bills and it has been
charged that the News and Observer
refused after special request to en-
brace in it's account of the legislative
proceedings for the day the action of
that body in regard to the Williams
bill, the purpose, apparently being
to keep the public in the dark as to
this measure. That was only two
years ago. Now comes the Ward
bill, which, if passed, will put an end
to the distilling business in Williams
and Shore. We are told that this
bill is also the production of Senator
Simmons and that it's intrOducer is
his protege. Only a casual glance at
the editorial columns of the News
and Observer will show anv one what
an outrage that paper now thinks it
is to allow these two localities to
manufacture liquor. We cannot un-
derstand this summersault of Sena-
tor Simmons and the editor of the
News and Observer We would like
for some one to explain to US why,
if it was right for the Legislature
which passed the Watts law to pass
special acts taking Williams and
Shore out of IFS provisions, it is such
a crime for the present body to hest
tate to pass an act which will put
these towns under the provisions Of
the former act. Also, what has or
Cured in North Carolina politics in
the last two years to cause such
change Of front regarding these two
towns by the man who is said to be
the author of the two bills and of the
paper which gave silent content to
the Williams bill two years ago and
is now so rantankerousfo for its repeal?
We cannot understand all this.

The following is from the editorial
columns OF the New York Sun:

The above goes to show how times

to this: That the American peonle
are about the same in all sections

of an invasion Becomes an Actual
Necessit'

London May 15.--In the House of
Commons today Premier Balfour said
that having regard for the changes in
the sea power of other nations. a re-
distribution of the fleet and army was
desirable for colonial defense, and the
committee on defense of the admir-
atty had concluded that the fleet and
army should be concentrated in the
center of the empire from which they
could be distributed as necessity
arose An invasion of India here has
been the dream of many military lead
ers. The progress of Russia towards
the Afghanistan frontier and the con-
struction of strategic positions COM
PEELED the government to consider
with all seriousness what its great
military neighbors could do. No sur
prise was possible in an invasion OF
India. Any collision of magnitude be-
tween the two powers must depend
upon the rapidity of railroad construc-
ton. General Lord Kitchener's view
was that in addition to the ordinary
drafts eight infantry divisions and

available for the defense of India in
the first year of a war.
If Great Britain permitted the slow
absorption of Afghanistan in a way
similar to that in which the central
Asian states had been absorbed and
if Russia's strategic railroads were al
lowed to creep closer and closer TO
the frontier Great Britain would ulti-
mately pay for her supineness, by
helping TO keep on foot an army far
larger than could be contemplated
with equanimity and she would be
faced with the greatest military prob
lens which had ever confronted the
British government.
Mr. Balfour remarked that the de-
velopment of Russia towards India
has from time to time caused great
alarm. Great Britain had in vain by
diplomatic means endeavored to pre-
vent Russia's expansion which must
now be taken as an accepted fact. AL
though invasion of India was much
talked of by Russian officers he did
not believe that it formed any part of
the scheme of the Russian govern
mept.

MARvELous eIFT OF sIRDs.
Homins Pigeons Able to Make Their
Roosts in Pitchy Darkness.

Although birds are not placed near
the summit line of evolution, their
ability to fly gives them advantage
over nearly all the mammalia.
Their mysterious power of chang
ing their palarity or weight in order
to dive in water or fly has been often
discussed and the almost incredible
velocity of their motion when migrat-
ing, sometimes amounting to four
miles a minute for vast distances, has
no parallel among other animals. A
series of careful trials with carrier
pigeons reported from France shows
apparently without doubt their pos
session of a highly developed sense
of direction
1t was supposed that homins
pigeons depended upon sight to find
their way, but these experiments have
been conducted between Ceremes and
Roam in the darkness of night. In
twenty minutes the first bird. dis
patched at 10 p. m. reached its roost.
