PETR0S.
Speetai to the W<s05.

Sbeaal to the M<s05.
Having been born and raised in the
far-famed Sequatchie Valley my
thoughts revert to the place OF my
birth and to my youthful associations
where married the wife of my youth
and where Iglived most OF my life, but,
like m yself most OF my former asso-
clates have migrated from the great
hog trough and are located In other
parts OF the country, but this is common
to US all.
Petros is q mining town OF several
hundred inhabitants, situated In the
northeastern part of Morgan county,
near the Brushy mountain prison where
the State mines are located and where
the State works between 700 and 800
convicts. This institution seems to be
q special institution OF the State as
there have been three legislative COM
mi.tees here since the 18th OF February.
The last committee came in Monday
and were lot Of men looking like they
were we'll groomed and we'll fed, judg-
ing from the color of their noses. Sup
pose they were out for good time rath-
or than business. They left late that
evening on their private car.
Monday was gala day here and was
celebrated as the anniversary of the
eight.hour day. John +. Bowden, pres
ident of District 10, and Ex-president
I. ]. Smith, two prominent labor lead
ers, were met at the depot by members
OF Local Union 625, U. M. w. OF A., and
the Woods Cornet Band and were es-
corted to the White Shield Hall where
Rev. Winchester delivered the address
OF welcome. Ex-President Smith was
| then introduced and spoke on the labor
| question in his own impressive way,
and was followed by Rev. r. B. Patter-
son, of Petros, who made one OF the
| eloquent and expressive discourses OF
the day. An adjournment was then
| taken for dinner. The afternoon was
taken up by Pres. Bowden and couple
OF bob-tailed Legislators. The day
passed very quietly and was grea'
success.
Well, Mr.. Editor, while I write the
gentle breeze Is blowing, the buds are
bursting, the trees blooming, the old

ling and all makes one feel like gentle

HITS CHARLOTTE HARD.

The testimony of Commissioner
Fifer before the Inter- State Commerce
Commission, published yesterday
shows that Charlotte is hit hard by
discrimination In freight rates. The
commercial interests in Charlotte feel
the need of remedy and thank Mr..
Fifer for his able presentation OF the
Injustice to that city. 1t was attempt
ed to "side-track" C'lariotte's conten-
ton by suggesting that relief could be
had from the courts. but Mr.. Fifer
showed that there was no weight in
such suggestion. Charlotte is injured
so is Raleigh. SO is Greensboro and
all towns similarly situated-and there
is now no redress except to ask the
railroad companies to regulate them
selves and punish their own discriml-
nations and reduce their own high
rates.
There is but one feasible remedy and
that is to confer upon the Interstate
Commerce Commission the same pow
or with reference to freight rates that
North Carolina has conferred upon It's
state Corporation Commission.
But Mr.. Cone and Mr.. Cox oppose
the comforting of such power. and
think the best thing to do is to make
a request to the railroads. That has
been tried repeatedly and rates go up
when they should go down. Such ad-
vice would give Charlotte business men
a stone when they ask for bread.

DISGRACE TO THE PROFESSION

The medical profession is held in
higher esteem than any other secular
calling in North Carolina. It's mem
bership is composed of men of high
character. learning. skill. and as citi-
zens of public spirit they stand among
the best. Coming into a peculiarly
intimate relation with their patients.
they have a larger share of per-
sonal esteem and affection than men
of any other calling.
Concurrent with the annual gather
ing of the State Medical Society AT
Greensboro. when many of the strong
est men will gather to exchange views
and thus be enabled the better to help
suffering humanity. comes the news
from Mecklenburg that a member OF
that honorable profession has been
bound over to court for violating the
Watts law by writing prescriptions Cor
whiskey for people who were not in
need of it as a medicine. Here is an
extract from the testimony:
"Mr. Culp stated that he met DR..
Mccoy in the street several weeks ago
and told him he was feeling badly and
he thought he needed some whiSkey.
DIR. Mccoy examined him. by feeling
his pulse and looking at his tongue.
Mr.. Culp stated that DR.. Mccoy said
he did not think that he (Culp) needed
the whiskey but wrote prescription
for quart.
According to some people Mr.. Culp
ought to have asserted his Integrity
and manhood" and go to jail by dis
obeying the law requiring him when
summoned to testify to the truth. He
did not peach" but when summoned
he showed his Integrity and man
hood" by telling the truth and not by
refusing to obey the plain letter of the
law. OF course. in the eyes of those
who think that defying the laws they
do not like constitutes manhood" Mr..
Culp will have no standing. but law
abiding citizens will not brand him as
wanting in ''integrity" for giving in
true testimony when summoned.
After hearing the evidence. the Re-
corder decided to bind the doctor over
to the June term of Mecklenburg
court. and in doing so Mr.. Shannon
house took occasion to remind the
physicians Of MeclIlenburg that he was
keeping a close lookout on the wh!skey
prescription records from all the drug
stores; that he felt sure the law was
being violated by few and that these
few might as we'll know that the court
would do all in it's power to put stop
to this. He added:
eff the physicians wish to suffer the
humiliation and degradation of being
summoned to court, all right and good
/ am determined to put a stop to this
wholesale WhiSkev description buSl-
ness and while only a few physicians
are making too free use of the whiskey
prescription habit. these might as we'll
know now that if they continue. it will
cause them trouble
There is not room to doubt that
whiskey is a good medicine and many
of the best physicians nrescribe it
whenever they deem it is necessary.
but reputable physicians do not permit
themselves to be used by giving quart
prescriptions to parties who do not
need it. Ninety-nine physicians out OF
every hundred are law-abiding men
and they will be the first to condemn
the few members of the profession
who disgrace it by following the ex-
ample of the Mecklenburg physician.

Punish The Vagrant Wherever Found.


To compel the professional hobo to
"move on is not punishment. 1t is
strictly in keeping with his disposition
and therefore does not accomplish
good. To compel one of the pine-box
loafers, or saloon loiterers to leave the
city may for a time directly benefit
that city, but only for time. for he is
sure to return and in the meanwhile
some other community is suffering as
the result of a careless. Illegal con-
struction of the vagrancy law. Re-
member, too, that as Migrants are
showed off by this community upon
others so others will shove them off
on this one. So stop all this TOM
foolEly. Punish the vagrant according
to the letter of the law. Punish him
just as any other offender would be
punished. The thief wouldn't be turn
ed loose to prey upon some other
community. SO why turn the vagrant
loose?

NO MORE GAMBLING IN FUTURES

The supreme Court has upheld the
woodard act putting an end to the
gambling in futures which hao grown
to be a gigantic evil in North caro-
l,na IF was IN many respects the best
hill introduced in the Legislature, and
vould probably not have become a
law if M. Woodland had not been
vigilant and determined and had the
strong support of tried and true men
in and out of the General Assembly.
Gambling in futures has been re-
sponsibIe for most of the large busi-
ness failures in North Carolina during
the past twenty-five years. That
species of gambling has taken out Oh
North Carolina easily an average OF
half a million dollars year, when
ought to have remained here to de-
veIop the industries of the State. 1t
had become so deeply rooted, appar-
entity, that it was growing to be re-
garded as respectable to bet on the
price of cotton and disreputable TO
bet on the turn of a card. Young
men in business, clerks, farmers ana
others became So infatuated with TINS
method of making something out or
nothing that they became confirmed
gamblers and were not satisfied with
the slow and regular profits of BUSH
ness and manufacturing, gs
There are some people who insisted
that il was necessary for the cotton
mill officers to have exchanges open
here SO they could hedge Are
they right? Is it not true that in
late years a speculative spirit has
gained control of some cotton mill
officials who have sought to make
money on their guess as to the market
rather than alone by the slow pro-
cess of making it on manufac-
turing? A few years ago cotton
mill that had not been doing we'll,
reported that it had made big money.
The stockholders found that it had
been made on future transactions. A
few years later the same mill became
embarrassed by severe losses incur
red in unfortunate dealing in flu
lures.
The Supreme Court of North Caro-
lima wisely CONSTITUTES the law enacted
to break up gambling and blind tigers
in accordance with the intention of
the lawmakers. and does not seek to
annul the statute of the General As
sembly upon technicalities, far-fetch-
ed constitutional questions, or an I'M
founded fear that legislation of this
character will injure any good man
or any legitimate interest.
All honor to the General Assembly
and all honor to the Supreme Court
for enacting wise laws that mean bet
ter conditions and UNFOLDING them!
