MORE BLUSDERs OF THE GENER.
AL ASSEMBLY OF THE IN
COMPETENCE.

The serious blunders Of the late
General Assembly Of Incompetence
continue to multiply. We have al
ready pointed out a number of stu
Did and mischievous blunders, in
GLIDING the repeal of the law pro-
yiding for the machinery for the
county government of the State, for
every county except that Of Warren.
1t would seem that it will be nee
essary for the government to call
them back into extra session to cor =
rect this one blunder, even If no
others had been made, unless the
courts can find some way to construe
their blunder by declaring the law
unconstitutional.
The people of the town of Spen-
Ger have Just discovered that the
Legislature tempered with their
charter against the wishes of
the people of the town and against
the advice, desires the knowledge OF
County's members in the Legisla-
ture. The people are justly indig-
nant.
The people Of Greensboro have
been astonished within the past
week to learn that the last Legisla-
ture amended the charter of that
live and progressive town, so as to
give authority to certain officers to
break open and search residences
with a search warrant and even
without an affidavit setting forth
sufficient grounds, but on the other
hand conferred such high-handed
authority upon certain officers to be
exercised simply upon suspicion.
Judge PEBBLES, holding court
there last week, refused to allow
persons to be convicted under such
a law, on the ground that it was in
violation of the Bill of Rights of
the Constitution.
Col. John T. Morehead, one of
the leading members of the bar of
Greensboro, declared that an
extra session of the Legislature
ought to be called by the Governor
at once to repeal the law.
We certainly trust that an extra
session of that Legislature, to cor.
rect their many blunders, as bad as
they are, can be avoided. Better
bear the ills that they have already
inflicted upon US than to take the
chances of worse things being DONE
1t is even admitted by Democrat.

yers to watch them and keep them
from doing more damage. It is safe
to predict that the people will elect
q different kind Of Legislature next
time.

STATE OFFICERS DO NOT ENFORCE
THE WATTS LAW.

THE WATTS LAW.
The News and Observer and other
red-shirt organs in the State are
having much to say about revenue
officers not performing their duties
in trying to break up illicitiug dis
tilling in this State. If they have
such information they should name
their men and give the information
to the proper authorities and the
matter would be probed to the bot
tom and any delinquent officers
would would get their just deserts.
But why is it the News and Observ-
er and other partisan sheets have
nothing to say about the criminal
negligence of the State officers in en-
forcing the law? Is it because most
Of the State officers are Democrats?
The following from the Whining
ton Messenger tDemocratic), tells a
different story from the News and
Observer. Read what the Messen-
ger says:
ssSeldom does one hear of q State or
county official taking any steps to
break up illicit distilling. In the
sections Of the State where capture
of these stills is almost a daily oc-
currence by revenue officers county
offiials are blind to their existence.
Can any one explain why this is the
case?"
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1905-06-01

Why don't the Democratic off,
Gals enforce the State liquor law.
Are the liquor men who are viola
ting the law buying up the Demo
cratic officials, or are they promising
to contribute to the campaign fund
of the Democratic machine? Some
thing is very rotten.

MAYOR WARS ON CROOKS
CULLUM OF DULUTH HAS A NEW
POLICY IN DEALING WITH
GRAFTERS.

Duluth, MINI, March 31.-The big
mitt man, the CRATER, the gambler and
the cheap grog dealer will give Duluth
a wide berth in the future should the
edict which Mayor Cullum issued last
evening prove effective
The mayor says that it evidently does
no good to fine keepers of saloons where
gambling is conducted and unsuspect-
ing persons are aeeced ], Of their hard
knockout drops, and in the future when
reports Of that character reach him he
will recommend to the council that the
saloon license be revoked instantly.

any longer said the mayor, and I
am going to see if we cannot have a
city here where ignorant and unsuspect-
ing persons who come within our gates
can be assured Of protection.

Cut OFF Income.
When, after marriage, this couple be-
gan definitely to consider parenthood,
they found that with such responsible
ties the wife would have to give up her
the. joint income, as yell as destroy her
social usefulness. The husband would
have to more than double his income,
putting all his energies into money
maxim to the exclusion Of social work.
Then, besides, there was no telling
what kind Of children they might have.
eve might, she says, raise a son
like Tolstoy, who would go into the
army, or q daughter who would delight
in giving pink teas. 8
The personal reason, too, was an inn
lportant one to the wife, who loved life
and health and feared to risk such
precious possessions.
Besides, the wife says, being thus cut
off from her independent income she
would have as a favor q liberty she now
enjoys as right. 4 S .ss

Education.


KNOWLEDGE is PoWE. This is an
oft-repeated truth, which loses none of
it's force with repetition. The American
people are noted for their pro gressive
ideas along lines of education, and no.
where is this more apparent than in the
northwest, where public and private
schools are numerous.
Not only the young, but the older people
are ever ready and anxious to absorb
new ideas and educate themselves to a
higher standard. = IS
The modern newspaper is great educator
and one of its most potent factors Is
contained in the advertising columns.
We are large advertisers and in this re-
spect are proud of our position as edu-
Gators of the buying public.
But this constant contact with the people
has also been beneficial to us in knowl-
edge gained of their likes and dislikes,
enabling us to successfully cater to the
one and avoid the other.

NO ESCAPE FROM THIS DEMON.
Americus People Are Up Against a
Problem.

That stalking demon, the grippe, has
fastened its fangs upon the throat of
Americas and the disease is wellnlgh
In epidemic form. Hundreds here now

they cannot die ell in lump. Fortue
nately, however, it is Of mild type this
year, and as yet not funeral is trace
able to grippe
When the grippe lnvsdes household
here it generally puts all the inmate
to b d at the same time and very natu-
rally much inconvenience and worry
results, but rich harvest is furnished
the doctors.
Ii the doctors are to be believed any
attempt to dodge the grippe is mere
waste of time and energy, and the
wisest couree is to luu up the white
flag of surrender and be done with it
as soon as possible.
1t is useless to try to fight it off when
we are told that the germs swarm
around Us by the hundreds of billions
to every twenty square feet of anything
Taey are in the air, in the earth, in the
dampness, in the dust, in the street,
and they even Turk in the inviting
depths of cocktails and high balls.
Oar friends csrry them about in their
clothes and shed the Internal things as
We fondly clasp hands.
The man with swollen eyes and the
ithuenza in a nose which has been
wiped into state of rosy rawness goes
about the streets blowing out and ex-
pectorating whole army corps of them
at every step.
There is no escape, positively none,
anywhere or in any way.
We are compelled to yield, throw W
our proud heels, 60 down and take oul
chances with it. There is no hole il
which, like the ostrich, we may thrus
our heads for safety, but what will bt
sure to contain a fourishing nest C.
germs to clutch US firmly by the hail
and abide with Us.
There Is no hope, We must recon
cile ourselves to the Inevitable witt

4 FRINGE OF SLEET
COVERS THE CITY,

The Limit.
WORST DAY OF ENTIRE SEASON
Buildings IcicIe-Fringed Greeted the
Early Riser. While SIeet Covered
the Cround-Rain Added to UnpIeas-
antness of the Day.

Americus was given the limit yester-
day from the standpoint Of bad weather.
Rain, sleet and few fakes of snow
made up q meteorological menu that
gagged the simple native and put the
day upon record as one of the worst
ever known here.
The eatly riser looked out upon
housetops covered with sleet, the rain
freezjnS as it fell. Every roof was
heavily frlnged with icicles.
It grew rapidly colder from dawn IN
til near II o'clock, when the weather
moderated to degree and 1t began
raining. Through the slippery streets
the populaee struggled.
Many bad falls upon the frozen
ground were reported during the morn
ing, though none of these resulted in
broken bones or very serious inju y
Householders scattered ashes as they
walked cautiously about, and thus
avoided many falls.
Local weather prognostjcators pre-
dicted snow, but we were spared this
additional tribuIation.
Business,of course, was given black
eye, as only those compelled to venture
forth rlsked health and limbs in !riE
to town. Not few farmers came il
later IN the day, but from business
standpoint the day was the worst {
the year.
Passengers arriving from Atlanta re
ported snow covered streets there, ant
thought Americus really hal littl,

profits if you died prior to that

We think not.
