The Opposition to Judge Shaw.

Rev. 7. Il. Law in Lumberton Robesonian
Now here it is again; a new mani
festatiOn of the world trying to crush
n man because he is courageous,
fearless and right in the discharge of
his duty to God and his fellow men,
1t is whispered that the whiskey and
other evil influences are going to try
to defeat one of the best of our Judges
Thomas Shaw, because he is faithful
in enforcing the law and making it a
terror to evil dOers The same ma
chinery of Satan that is trying to de-
feat Senator Simmons on account of
his bold and fearless stand for tenn
perance, order, the home, the church
and all that is good in a great com
monwealth. We do not believe that
success will come to their efforts in
either case. These two upright, able
and conscientious officials are going
to sweep the fields Before the day
of battle comes the enemy will have
hid his head. The power of evil in
our State was never so weak as it is
today. Moral influences are at play
among us far beyond the dreams of
the fathers. In fact, the moral ele-
ment rules.

TRIBUTE TO THE HOME LIFE.
Answer to Matrimonial Skeptics in
the Last Will of r1an.
Yellowstone Journal.

Yellowstone Journal.
There was last will and testament
made public in this State a few weeks
ago that speaks we'll for humanity.
1t was the will Of a Montana man
who died leaving large estate to his
wife and son, his sole heirs and al
though he left them all Of his worldly
estate, the manner of giving and the
words-coming over the river from
the farther shOre-in which the CIV
ing was expressed, doubtless count
far more with the bereaved ones than
the wealth itself, for into the usually
dry and prosaic term OF will this
man cOntrived to weave the express
sion OF bOundless love and confid'nce
in those he left behind. 70 his claw
ful and ever loyal WIFE he gave un-
reservedly, all his estate for her own
uses and purposes during her lifetime,
providing only for the maintenance,
support, education OF our son. and
on the death of the wife the estate is
to descend as unreservedly to the
son. He even looked the probability
OF IL second marriage squarely i'll the
face and in manly way, recognized
the possibility of such an event, he
sought to guard against mere for
tune hunters by providing that such
an event should not in any respect
alter the terms Of his will, and that
no person should acquire rights of
support or heirship by reason of
marriage with his widow, but that
his estate and the increment thereof
should be solely devoted to the uses
of his widow and his son. The testa-
tor indicates him as one ''fOr whom |
have the highest love, respect, which
he has won by his loyal devotion, up
right conduct, and noble qualities OF
of head and heart" Will the boy
ever forget this expression of love
and confidence from his father, or
fall away from the high standard it
establishes? Finally, the wife is made
the sole administrators without
bonds.
In the face OF such a testimonial as
this to the superlative merit OF the
married state, what becomes OF the
trite assertion that marriage is a
failure? All the rotten divorces that
venal state courts could turn out i'll
IL year would not weigh perceptibly
against this pothumOus tribute to
the enduring worth OF the solemn
pact. Divorce is in most cases mere
Iy demonstration of the error OF
the particular marriage concerned,
not always, but in many cases, GER
tification by law that it should not
have been. Mistakes are made in
every walk of life and as the tempta-
tion to matrimOny is great and as it
too often assails the man and the
maid in their SILLY season., there is
small cause for wonder that divorces
are 50 prevalent, and yet when sta
tistically reduced to Il percentage,
they are i'll fact remarkably infre
quent. For the decade endedin 1900
the percentage OF divorces to mar
riages was scarcely expressible in fig
ures. Only .O10 per cent. Hardly a
scratch on the foundation OF the
magnificent monument to the home
reared in this country by such inter-
change of love, confidence and loyal
ty as is evidenced by the will that has
been taken here as text.

Another Distinction for North Carolina

Gastonia Gazette.
North Carolina comes to the front
as the leading sweet potato state in
the Union. When the sweet potato
which is so decidedly superior to the
Irish tuber, becomes thoroughly in
troduced throughout the country
there will be another mint of money
for the South in this crop. At pres
ent the cottOn-growing states are the
principal sweet potato states. North
Carolina leading with 5,665,391
bushels annually and Georgia coming
next with 5,616,317. The total
crop for the entire country including
New Jerseys crop of 2,254, 344 bush
els, amounts to II 100000 bushels.
This allows only about half a bushel
a year to each inhabitant. In prop
erly introducing the sweet potato as
an article Of food. there is the posi-
bility of millions OF dollars for the
South.

confusion about the choice of Nc
Crackers legislators-elect to the gem
erai assembly, for United States SEN
ator. 1t will likely be found that both

little. Senator Campbell has never
publicly committed himself, bat he
has said he would vote for the man
his constituents favor. The indica-
tions are that the Paynter men pre-
dominate if the recent election
counts. A Paynter man won in
this county. Besides, Senator Camp

and would probably be opposed to
Senator Blackburn because of the
latter's friends, If for no other rea-
son. While there is nothing positively
known, we believe II would be safe
to count in both egislators-elect from
McCracken county for the machine
candidate.
