DOned

| Argument was resumed in the SUI
preme Court yesterday, appeals being
| taken up from the Sixth District, but
no opinions were handed down. It is
supposed that a batch will be filed this
| AFTERNOON, the court seeming to have
substituted Wednesday for Tuesday as
the day of handing down opinions.
The argument yesterday contained
| no case of any news interest. The

which is q capital case for criminal
assault, was to nave been heard this
week but has been postponed at the

rim burg, who is of counsel but is sick.
The case is a most remarkable one,
the plaintiff claiming that the crime
had been committed at her home on
several different occasions, she being
afraid of being killed by the defend
ant. Hayes was tried at Lumberton
two months ago and was convicted
and sentenced to death.
The summary of the cases argued
yesterday and those to be heard next
week is as follows:

WHAT WILL ARKANSAS DO?


The Legislature of Arkansas passed
law which it will enforce called the
"anti-compact law" 1t goes into OPP
GRAFTON on the 23rd Of March. In view
of the action of the General Assembly
of that State, the National Board of
Fire Underwriters held a special meet
ing in New York and decided to rec
ommend the withdrawal of all fire in
surance business in the State of Ar
kansas if the anti-compact law is en-
forced.
This is a serious matter. We have
not before US the full text of the bill
and therefore cannot fully understand
its effect but if it is law that forbids
the insurance companies organizing a
trust and fixing prices, we glory in
the spunk of the State of Arkansas
if it decides to enforce the law and
defy the threatened boycott. OF course
Arkansas merchants and farmers and
business men must have insurance
upon their property and the boycott
might greatly embarrass them for a
short time. This is particularly true
since Arkansas has very few local
companies, but if the people there
have the proper sort of courage the
boycott may be a blessing in disguise.
The time will come when insurance
will be as much function of govern
ment as carrying the mails. Why
should not the Arkansas Legislature
be the pioneer in this crisis? Why
should not the State establish an in
surance department and carry on in
surance like the government carries
on the post office business. 1t has be-
come necessary part of business. AS
at present conducted the drain upon
the South amounts to hundreds of mil
lions of dollars every year. Why
should not that excess. piling UP a
surplus in New York. remain at home
Why should not Arkansas answer the
boycott by doing all the insurance by
the State?

JUG-LAWISM RUN MAD.

If the best that the detractors of
the legislature can do is to try to
make them out either knaves or simp-
letons by publishing weird stories of
gross mistakes by which bills intended
as local laws are heralded as having
disastrous general application. they
had better swallow their discomfort in
silence.
The attempt to figure a general law
out of a township bill as to hunting
and do away with boards of commits
sioners with the provisions of an act
giving the people of Warren county
the right to elect their own officers.
is showed up in all its absurdity in our
local columns.
The ''iug-law'' seems still to stick in
the craw; but the law upon which it
is based cannot be invoked to make
rattlesnakes of tadpoles. or govern
mental laws of county and township
bills.

Spirit of the Press
The Licensed Saloon is a Monstrous
Fraud.

FRAUD.
Gastonia Gazette.
The signs that the hour draws nigh
for some definite and jolting national
legislation against the drink evil are
engaging the attention of interested
persons. We are glad that Congress-
man Webb and others took SO positive
a stand a few days ago against the
saloons of Washington City. Public
sentiment was growing in North Caro-
lima quarter of a century before it
bore fruit in a fearless temperance
legislature. The churches and school
houses gained recognition, then a
town or two, then county, then 9th
er counties and finally q legislature
was won. What has been done in
North Carolina we would be happy to
see accomplished in the United States
AS one State after another falls in
line, something practical and positive
will be done by Congress and the gov
eminent. AS an economic proposition
the licensed saloon is monStrous
fraud. For every dollar it pays into
the national, State. or municipal treas
ury, in license funds, it takes out
$16.50 to- provide for the insane. the
paupers and the criminals produced
by the evil business. A monstrous
fraud OF course we are not at the
end here in North Carolina. Only
good beginning has been made, but
that much is said to be half the battle
In making the start for herself North
Carolina is simply doing her part in
the greater work of Kidding the ma
ton OF the same curse.
