The Plaquemine Locks.

The Iberville South, of Plaque
mine, takes notice, in its issue of
the 18th inst, Of the lberian in
the following paragraphs:
The esteemed Iberlan had the
nerve to talk about the Plaque
mine locks in all this weather.
Even the Shreveport Journal,
right out of the Peruna Belt, has
been quoted down by the Artic
blast.
1--WE will advise our esteemed
Ibcrian that work on the Plaque
mine locks was only abandoned
while it showed here Monday.
Only few flakes fell and there
vas hardly enough time wasted
on this occasion to cause our good
representatives to grow alarmed
again.
The question naturally presents
elf-Why is the South so sen
slt.ve to all that is said about the
locks! If the Plaquemine Editor
would only view the situation
from the standpoint OF a shipper
of the Attakapas section he would
appreciate that this people have
been more than patient with I'M
seemly delays on the part of con
tractors. In the past II years
many firms in this section: who
once entertained hopes Of seeing
the locks opened to commerce,
have gone out of business. Some
of the survivors would like to re
alize some of the hoped for bene
fit before they follow their broth
cIS lHtO ODIltlOu Ill IdCU, thiS
section has many business men
who have developed, in the past
II yeas, into spoiled children
as it were-who propose to howl
about those locks, in and out of
season, in all kinds Of weather.
till they materialize and are de
livcred to the people.
If this course IS rasping to the
nerves of the Plaquem;ng editor
let him use his kind influences in
the direction of fastening the de.
livery of the goods, rather than in
wasted energy endeavoring to
hush the demands Of the people.

Seed Cane.

There has been considerable ap
prehensioD throughout this section
as to The condition of the seed
cane Il is feared that the exces
sive rains and very severe cold
has done a deal Of damage to both
the seed in mats and to the stub
bic. The consequent delay in pre-
pairing the soil for planting but
adds a further complication to the
situation.
In obs instance, from Petite
Anse, we learn that planter was
forced to the necessity Of grinding
IA large part of seed cane and con-
verting 1T into syrup. The eyes
were black and soft, v lille the cane
was sound and sweet.
Reports come to us from other
sections to the effect that the fall
planting has been lost. The
weather then was so dry that the
cane was practically planted in
dust and trash and it was so long
before there were rains sufficient
to pack the soil, that dry-rot set
in and destroyed the seed. In
consequence the cane growers are
gloomy.

rotation" was voting contrary to the
platform? If Mr.. Drewry votes for
an official Interpretation" which bars
the Ward bill does he not try to de-
clare the Wake legislators who will
support it to be looking to him and
those who think like him for official
Interpretation" instead of their own
untrammelled Interpretation ?" And
would not this be minority rule?
Mr.. Drewry is wholly mistaken in
intimating that this paper wishes to
influence the members from Wake
"by trying to make it appear that he
is attempting to interfere with their
duties" This paper does not believe
thel members from Wake need any
guardian and this paper has not
sought to influence" them in any
way, 1t called attention to Mr..
DreWry's attempt, as Il member of the
State Executive Committee. TO secure
such official Interpretation as would
arrogate TO that committee the legis-
lative power which the people have
conferred upon the men they elected
to the General Assembly. If we singled
him out. it was not for the purpose
of criticising him, but to give an OBJ
ject lesson of the practical workings
of the new tangled "oflicial interpre-
tationY invoked to defeat the Ward
bill, and with no intention or desire
to criticisc Mr.. Drewry's position on
that measure. He and every other
member of the committee has q right
to oppose or to favor the Ward bill
without any criticism of his views.
But neither Mr.. DTewry nor any other
member Of the State Executive Com
mittee has the right by "olticial in
depreciation or otherwise. to attempt
to dictate to the House of Representa-
tves. When they do so, this paper
thinks it a high duty to point that
such course is unheard of in the DEM
ocratic party, dangerous and revolu-
tionary. and frau"nt with no good
to the Democratic party.

Especial to News and Observer
Clinton n. c., Feb. 19.-Au enthus-
iaStic citizens mass meeting was held
In the court house here this afternoon
to protest against the opposition to
temperance legislation. The elegant
new court room was well filed by the
best people of the town, irrespective of
party divisions. The exercises We're
begun with the singing Of hymns and
an opening address by the chairman,
Rev G. NJ. Rock. A committee was
appointed to present a resolution for
consideration, composed Of the follow
ing citizens: Rev. G. NJ. Rock, pastor
of the Baptist church, Mr.. Ferdinand
Johnson, manufacturer; Mr.. \. 3. Car
roll merchant; MIR. j. a. Kyle, farmer,
and Mr. Bruce Craven, superintendent
CT the graded school
The report. which was later adopt
ed by a unanimous rising vote, was as
follows:
Whereas, great influence is being
brought to bear upon the General AS
sembly of North Carolina to prevent
an advancement in temperance legiS-
lation; Therefore, be it.
Resolved by the citizens of Clinton,
in public mass meeting assembled,
that the sentiment of this section
heartily favors the enactment of the
w dIu Dlli anu TIC IC-CllclSlIiitliL VI 1ii1
anti-jug law. both without amendment.
A resolution calling upon the rep
Yesentatives from this county to sup
port the measures was also adopted
unanimously. This. latter has especial
significance in view of the fact that
Sampson county has been excepted
from the provisions of the McNinch
anti-jug law. A special committee will
go TO Raleigh Tuesday to urge these
measures.
The speeches by Mr.. Rock, Mr.
Johnson, Mr. Massett Lee and Mr.
Bruce Craven were OF high order
and were literally applauded.

KEEP UP ROTATION AS AT
PRESENT.

A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature to change the law Us to
the rotation Of indges-letting the
Superior Court judges in the eight
districts in Eastern North Carolina
rotate only in these eight districts,
and the eight Western judges rotate
in the eight Western districts.
The only advantage in this would
be TO save some money to the judicial
officers and give them a little more
time with their families. but this
Legislature has Increased the salaries
of the judicial officers, the chief argu-
ment being that it cost large sums II
travel all over the State. And now
on the heels of that argument, we
hear it suggested that the old plan
of State system be changed into q
half State system. 1t is better to stick
TO the old rule. 1t is a good thing
for the Eastern Judge to go West: a
good thing for a Western judge to
come East; it is a good thing for all
the people to retain this system that
makes no divisions in North Carolina.
Would Eastern North Carolina not
have lost much if it had not known
Judge Hokc? Has not Western North
Carolina been benefited by Judge
Browns holding court in the West?
Let us stick TO the old system and
keep Western and Eastern Carolina
closely united. ~

tees not to again increase them.
