Vanderbilt Damage Suits

Asheville, N. c., Feb. 16.-The hear
ing before Judge Pritchard in the matter
of remanding to the State court certain
damage suits against George w. Wander
bilt was resumed this morning at 10 o'clock
and an affidavit by w. A. Cash filed as
evidence by attorneys for Mr.. Vanderbilt.
By consent of counsel the hearing was
again postponed until March 9 when q
large number of aff1davits will be filed by
counsel for both plaintiff and defense. The
attorneys representing the plaintiffs in the
actions, who seek to have the cases re-
manded to the State courts for trial, con-
tend that they will be able to show by af
fidavits that the charges contained in the
aff1davits of Rev. DR.. Swope and Hardy
Lee and others to the effect that Mr..
Vanderbilt cannot get justice in the State
courts and that prejudice exists against
him, are not founded on fact.

An Interesting Case

A man by the name of LeQueux some
twelve or fifteen years ago married a
daughter OF Mr.. l. s. Henderson at
Mooresville, N. G. To this couple two
children were born, son and daughter.
After some six or eight years the mother
died and the children were taken in charge
by the grandfather and great-grand- moth
er. They are now about 10 aud IL years
of age respectively. The father, who has
entirely ignored them since the death OF
their mother, has entered proceedings to
take charge of the children. Each side
has employed counsel and the matter will
be Investigated before judge at Salisbury
this week. From our knowledge Of the
case the children will very likely remain
where they are Every citizen of Moores-
vile feels IN interest in the welfare of
these two bright little children and they
will watch the proceedings with great in
terest.
(Mr LeQueux has given up the case
and the children will not be molested.)

Cant You Trust Them7

The Democratic State platform, after
approving the principle that no liquor can
be sold or made except "In localities
where there may be ''ADEQUATE PO-
LICE PROTECTION concludes with
these Words
"The General Assembly has the power,
and when controlled by the Democratic
party CAN BE TRUSTED to make all
amendments that experience and con-
ditions may demonstrate to be wise and
proper"
And yet. in the face of that declaration,
we are told that the Democratic House
cannot be TRUSTED" Why? Simply be
cause it is believed the House will pass the
Senate bill that does nothing but give
adequate police protection" and prevent
fragrant violations of the Watts law!
This Legislature "can be trusted" to do
its duty.
The Executive Committee ''can be trust
ed" to do its duty.
The Legislature has nothing TO do with
conducting campaigns.
The Executive Committee has nothing to
do with legislation.
Let each ''shinny on its own side" and
all will be well.
The above appeared IN Sundays News &
Observer and is sensible talk. There was
no need of meeting of the State execu-
tive committee and the few members who
requested it have made mistake. The
commi tee has no business sitting upon a
question with which it has nothing to do.

We see statement to the effect that a
London paper has traced the career of five
boys who were lazy about getting out of
bed in the morning. One of the bunch was
the manager of large business at the age
Of thirty, another at twenty-seven was a
successful physician, the third at twenty
hree was at the head of his class in col
lege, the fourth had passed every examina-
tion in medical school at twenty, and the
fifth was head boy in school at fifteen years
of age. There is good deal of humbug-
gerry about this matter of early rising, un-
less ones business calls one out early. In
that case, to get out of bed betimes is de-
mand of duty which is not to be disregard
ed, whether it is to get to the store or OF
fee, to slop the hogs or feed the horses.
But many boy has gained more by set
ting up little late at night, reading or
studying. than another has by getting up
before daybreak and looking In the fire un-
til breakfast. AS to the healthfulness of
the habit, the late Senator Evarts, of New
York, settled that when, at the age of 78,
he was asked how be accounted for his
long life and good health. and replied that
he never got up early and never took any
exercise. Charlotte Observer.

ADVICE TO MERCHANTS
Benefit of Newspapers To The
Country

Mr.. John Wanamaker gives the follow
ing sensible advice on advertising: "There
is only one way to advertise, and that is to
manner your name, your location, your
business, so constantly so persistently, so
thoroughly, into the peoples heads that if
they walked in their sleep they would
constantly turn there faces towards your
store. The newspaper is your best friend
in spite of your criticism. 1t helps to
build up the community that supports you.
When the day comes that the newspapers
are dead, the people are near the edge of
the grave with no one to write their
epitaph."

NOW FOR REFORMATORY
Senate Passes Bill Carrying Ap-
preparation Of $4,000 For
-.
This Purpose
STRANGE PLEA is MADE
Splendid Speeches Made In Pre-
senting Necessity For Such An
Institution


Raleigh, Feb. II, 1905.
The Senate Thursday by vote almost
unanimous, passed the Scales bill, for the
establishment of a reformatory in this
State for criminal youths. Excellent
speeches, throughtful, conservative and
effective, were delivered by men best
qualified to speak of the merits of the bill
and the needs of the State, and when the
vote was taken the opposition had become
inconsiderable.
Several strong but ineffective efforts
were made by some of the Senators to re-
duce the amount of appropriation the bill
carries with it from $50, 900 to $25, 900 but
these failed. It was also attempted to
side-track the, bill, by re-referring it to the
committee which had condsidered it for
more than three weeks, and also to the
Committees on Appropriations and
Judiciary, but these moves, too, were
quickly defeated.
A few amendments, affecting one or two
minor parts of the bill, were accepted by
Mr. Scales.
The title of the bill, as it was amended,
is: can act creating Board of ContIol of
the North Carolina Training Schools,
providing for the erection and manage
ment of said schools, specifying method
of procedure against juvenile delinquents
and providing for the management,
detention, education aud training of such
deinquents."
The bill provides that six persons shall
be appointed by the Governor to constitute
the Board of Control, to serve without pay.
This board will acquire by purchase or
deed of gifts, suitable sites for the schools
One plant will be for white children, and
the other for negroes. The Board of
Control will have entire charge of the
school, and may appoint officers as it
into It's authority children only between the
ages of ten and seventeen years, and the
board will be their legal guardian. The
delinquent juvenile is defined as being a
child under the age of seventeen who has
been convicted of or pleads guilty of any
violation of any laws of the State, or of
any ordinance of ahy city or town, except
capital offenses. The Superior court is to
try delinquent children and the first part of
each term will be. set aside f II the trial of
such and their names are to be entered up
on separate dockets. Probation officers
will be appointed for each court, without
compensation, to make such investigations
as may be required by the court, and to
take charge of any child before and after
trial, as may be directed by the court. No
mayor, justice of the peace, recorder or
other inferior court will have the power to
commit child to the custody of the Board
of Control, but these courts may impose a
penalty or fine or imprisonment as now
provided by law, but when sentence of
Imprisonment is imposed, an appeal to the
Superior court shall he taken. The Board
of Control is empowered to adopt rules and
regulations regarding the parole and dis
charge of children committed to Its
cuSLOdV

TOO MUCH LAW.
Pass The Ward Bill and The Anh-Jug
Law

To the Editor:-There are some
things needed to be done by the Legis-
lature and great many being proposed
that were better left undone, and it is
so much easier to pass the trif1ine little
bills than the important ones. There
is too much special legislation. A State
through its representatives, can afford
to pass any law that makes for the
peace and welfare of a majority of it's
people. Exceptions should only be
made by special legislation when cir
cumstances are peculiar and the excep-
tion will be better for the local popula-
ton than the general law.
The laws are not the laws of a
party, but of the State. No political
party should try to survive by. shrink
ing from the right. If it is not aggres-
sive it ought not to exist. If it is afraid
to do right it ought to go out of busi-
ness.
- The Watts law has proven an aid to
business and procures peace and pros
perity. Therefore it ought to be sus-
tanned by such acts and amendments as
will make it effective and not hamper
ed or prejudiced by class legislation or
local privileges. Therefore let the lat
ter be repealed and the Ward bill pas
sed. No stranger ought to be allowed
privileges which we deny our own cit
izens, therefore give US the Anti-iug
Law, and stop the shipping of whiskey
into prohibition districts.
The voice of the people should be the
will of their representatives, therefore
repeal all the divorce laws, allowing
remarriage for the other cause than
adultery.
Prohibit the shipment of liquor into
the State if possible. These things
ought to be done at once and unani-
mously.
A good many bills don't amount to
much any way and good many ought
to be left off.
1t doesn't make men better, greater
or nobler to guard every little personal
right with statute and a constable
Neighbors have always protected their
lands from hunters, and their gardens
from their neighbours chickens without
the aid of legislation until recent years
and folks were neighbors truly then
more than now. Too much statute
makes men lose sight of their personal
obligation to do what is right. Trivial
laws are violated and ignored, and
every law, however trivial, that is
violated, lowers the dignity of all law
in the mind of the violator. The mem
Der who doesn't introduce bills often
deserves more credit than some who do.
''Is it right" is a better question
than "what will the people say
The above paragraphs are dedicated
to the truth and respectfully submitted
to whoeVer may read them.

MAYOR DUNNE GIVES UP
He Sees no Way of Settling the Team
 Sters' Strike.

Chicago. April 17.-After a confer cnce held in his office late today with representatives of the teamsters Mayor Dunne announced that he had practi- cally given up hope of settling the Montgomery Ward & Go. strike. 'I will hold conferences tomorrow with the representatives of both sides" said Mayor Dunne. but I have no idea thaL anything will result from the nego- tiations."
 There were numerous disturbances III the streets during tie day and others around the freight houses. Several non union mon on their way horne were followed by strike sympathizers aud badly beaten. one Of them. Henry Auten, being beaten so badly with brass knuckIes that he may die.
 The most serious disturbance of the cay occurred late in the afternoon a. the intersection of State and MadisOf avenues.

Two policemen rushed into the car and in order to. protect the colored men from the crowd placed them under arrest. A riot call was sent to the Central station and it required twenty officers who responded thirty minutes time to drive awnv the CT owd and open the streets again to traffic.
