TIIE MECCA OF EVIL
The People Want Advance and Shore
Deprived OF Power For Evil.

To the Editor: I have often heard
the assertion made that if you let lie
auor alone it will let you alone.
want as q citizen of this community
TO state few facts as to the effects
of the whiskey traffic as carried on at
Advance and Shore has upon our COM
munity, which is some thirty miles
away. Whiskey is peddled in to our
city almost every Saturday night from
Advance and sold so cheap that any
sane man is forced to think that there
is something crooked with both the
sale and manufacture of such cheap
stuff. Our men from here now get
teams and drive to Advance in the
night and spend the day Sunday on
the road terroriZtng the law-aDiding
citizens on the way. This Advance
whiskey causes many of the workmen
here to lose time from our work shops
going and coming from this great
Mecca of EVIL" l am told that one
man who has been ~eddling this whis-
key from Advance said on one occa-
sion that the men for whom he
worked would not let the law here
handle him but we wish we could
once get the direct legal proof either
on the little or the big LIQUOR seller
from Advance or elsewhere. and we
would see If he did not make a good
hand on our public roads Of Guilford

The city of Shore. 1 am told. also
has a regular wagon train that has
come to this city repeatedly and vio-
lated the law by selling liquor 20
many of our honest workmen. who
would not put themselves to the
trouble to get the stuff but when ii Is
handed TO them they are not sCrong
enough to resist. L am informed that
one of these men actually has so
threatened the people in a certain sec.
tion near here that they are afraid
TO swear a warrant for his arrest. al
though he is guilty of trespass and
peddling whislSey. l simply write
these facts to show you how lawless
and defiant these little hell-holes are
becoming, and how they are hurting
people in other parts of the country.

Democratic party has made along the
line of temperance legislation for the
past few years. and / know whereof

DR.. ALDERMAN
IN new YORK
Said Nothing to Justify
Mr.. Bailey's Criticism.
Did Not Disparage the South in Order
to Curry Favor With Northern
Rich Men.

To the Editor: Incidentally there
has come into my possession without
DIR. Alderman's knowledge or sanction.
the stenographer's report of his speech
delivered on the evening of December
Ii, 1904. at the annual meeting of the
Southern Society at New York; and as
much adverse criticism mas been made
because of an Inaccurate and mislead-
iEg to take the liberty of making an
extract or two from it.
First. however. let me say that there
is nothing In the speech whatever TO
Justify senator Bailey's comment to

Q. Southern institutions, or Southern
thought, or Southern statesmen, with
he view of currying favor at the North
and obtaining by SUCH means money
for the University of Virginia.
DR.. Alderman is &. North Carolinian
whom we here all know, whom we adj
lnired in his early years, and in whose
appreciation by others we take pride.
We have particularly admired him for
his Southern sentiments and the pride
he has taken in the Southern people.
II the charge made by Senator Bailey
We're we'll founded, the whole tenor
of DR.. Aldermans consistent course in

being no foundation for the allegation

20 see that no injustice is done him In
that behalf. l therefore withou; any
communication with him, make some
extracts from his speech, which cover
substantially all he said that could
have been miSinterpreted:
Ladies' and Gentlemen:
This Union of ours symboizes To
my mind the most hopeful thing to

racy trying to be right and efficient

and free. That is the extreme task

thought and the enthusiasm which
distinguished it one hundred years
ago. and which 1t lost when II got
caught III a misconception imposed
Upon IL 1y the moral cal1ousness of
past ages.
"a hundred years ago the South
stood before the whole world. as Maj.
bingham has said. in essence ut least,
as the embodiment of national feel
ing and continental thinking. tut Of
1t came principles, and policies and

splendid personalities. . Tut

ds'"s not seek nor does it represent
ti.e concert of international and contiS
mental thinking. and the imperative
duty of every patriotic Southern man
and patriotic american, us my friend
has spoken about so well, is to seek
that concept of its old original inherit
lance of nationalis1n and of power.
Between that age and this there
stretch some very sad, and confused
views. To understand the true mean
ing, the full meaning and true concap>
ton of that time, il is the highest
duty of Ill Americans 10 make them
selves acquainted with what the South
has got now to contribute as dis
tinctive offering to American life; and
it is another high duty TO understand
exactly the thing to be done. TO an
alyize the origin of that contribution
is the supremest and the highest duty.
1T does not call so much for knowl-
edge. 1t calls for the thing that the
Bible calls wisdom, which means SYM
pathy as we'll as knowledge and pa
thence and sweetness of soul; and there
is call for that all over this fair land.

THE INSURANCE. DRAIN.
Careless or ShOFt-siShted in Our In-
surancc Legislation.

To the Editor: Relative to the edl-
torial on insurance in q Raleigh daily
in which my views have been COM
mented on, kindly allow me to submit
the folloWing
/ wrote it as a $500, 900 drain
since 80 alone. Add the fire drain
to this and it viii be more like STA
100000 in this time. The insurance
business is no new one in North Caro-
lima, and this has been going on for
years and will continue TO go on, the
permanent drain in millions always
being against us.
If we are. not protected by tho de-
partment against wildcat insurance
concerns, 1t would be more. In this
the department is doing u good work:
but, as it is established for the people
of North Carolina, and is required
and expected to do this work. so /
contend that 1t should go further. and.
in all matters secure for the people
Of North Carolina the highest rights
that the same companies at the same
rates guarantee t citizens of other
States.
North Carolina is said to be the
best state in the South--for the Ia
surance companies!. Does not this in
itself mean that our sister States are
more wide-awake in gaining their cit
izens from these same insurance
rights and privileges that they deny
TO citizens of this State.
If one citizen of Georgia. Arkan-
sas. or Wisconsin. or any other State.
is given by law in his State privl-
Tege denied q single citizen in this
state. then / contedn that we are
either careless. or short-sighted, or
remise TO that extent.

LETTER FROM FRANK RAY.
Why Should Section 1853 of The Code
BE Repealed?

To the Editor: / see Mr.. Alley, of
Jackson, has introduced bill! to re-
peal section 15S of The Code l saw
in the papers where Mr.. G.. c. Cowan,
a prominent lawyer of Western North
Carolina was in Raleigh to look in
on the Legislature. He appears for
the plaintiff in some very important
litigatio in jackson county. in which
the defendants being junior grantees
set IN the plea of the statute of limi-
tation, among other offences under
the ruling of the Supreme Court in
the case of Richie VS.. Fowler, 1872 n.
c. 7SS. 1t is a very, strange coinci-
dence that this innocent looking little
bill put in it's appearance while Mr.,
Cowan was. engaged in the interesting
past time Of Cooking in upon the
Legisla ture. The Supreme Court, in
the case above referred to construed
section 15S 10 mean or require Il
senior grantee of land from the State
to bring his suit against a junior
grantee for the sam me land within ten
years after the junior grantee put his
grant on registration. Why is this
not. right? why should this statute
of repose" as it has been called by our
Supreme Court, be repealed any more
than any other statute of Limitation
that happens TO bob up in the way OF
some ones winning his law suit
When / say this / do not mean any
reflection or those members who saw
or thought, they saw a reason for it's
repeal, neither do / wish to Offend
Mr.. Cowan. for besides being one of
the most able lawyers in the West he
is always alert, wide awake and re-
sourceful. But what offense had this
section given? Why should our land
titles not be settled sometime? And
if ever, Is ten years not a reasonable
time for man who. enters and has
the State TO grant lin lands for him
to assert his rights and take charge
Of it. Did Mr.. Alley intend to revive
actions and rights already barred bS
section 1873? Is it intended to be re-
troactive? If not, why ada q proviso
that ii shall not apply To existing
sui Is? / understand that was done.
OF course this divests the oil of ali
appearances II anybodys trying to
take the advantage of anybody else.

faults; it had them. g
1.-The solid South contributes many
forms OF troubls TO some people. We
have been talking about ii here to-
night. If "solid" were not so glib q
word, and possibly there is no hope
for it, / would suggest instead of the

"The hest laid plans O mice and men," etc AS all his friends know Dr. Jones is a hard man to catch at home He might be there or he might be miles away answering hurry call to some suffer ing patient. But this night was the exception to the rule. Mrs. Jones was to take part in annual Easter meeting at tlIe Congregational church and of course tSe doctor wished to hear her perform. At the close of the exercises they fingered a moment to speak to some friends end much to their aston iShment found themselves alone.
 This seemed queer for congregation al people have a delightful way of lingering to greet their friends after meeting like this, and there were sev- eral at church whom the doctor and his good lady wished to speak to. How ever when they reached home the nlvs- tery was solved. The greater part of tle congregation together with a few others of their friends were waiting to congratulate them oa the ten-h anni- Vel sary of their marriage. As may be Imagined tce festivities were some what "tinny' but nevertheless abound ing in kindly feeling for the doctor and his wife. A number of young ladies sang a serenade, "The Quilting Party" calling to mind the happy davs when to tie doctor and his bride all the world was young. Much to the delight of their friends they sang this song together when riding or driving of evenings. Rev. C. ?. Wilson. who was pastor oS the NJ F. church here during their courting days, made few remarks of 9 reminiscent Character that were exceedingly laughable But the crOwni0C feature of the evenine came when Rev. Drew in a neat speech presented tAe bride of ten --ears. an elaborate necklace Of tin. and the gr''Itu 2 sInlt cano of the same ma terial that r:on.'sed ample support for Ills declining years. Later when the merrIment lad somewhat subsided il was shown thct one of tka discs in Mrs. Jones necklace contained beau tliuI pearl pin, and that the doctors tin cane was but the covering to an elegant gold headed stick suitably en- sraNed and presented by their friends as a token of their appreciation and a MementO of this happy occasion. \ number of other gifts more or less tinEy' cs well as a neat brooch and watch fob were received from friends.
 During the evening fruit punch and cake were served in the dinin~ room A number of young ladies sang during the evening and later Q male quartette made up of singers we used to love to hear. but who have long since left our choirs to younger voices. sang old col lege songs that made our hearts grow young. At 9 late hour the party dis persed leaving only best wishes for the doctor and his. wife, and glad to have spent such 2 pleasant evening with old time memories and friends only sorry that limited space forbade the company Of all the friends who would have been glad to celebrate any Joyous anniversary with Dr. and Mrs. Jones
