Especial to News and Observer
Scotland Nee, n. c.. Jan. 3.-The
four saloons in this town closed Sat
urday night, and the county commas
sioners yesterday refused to grant IL
cense to any one to sell liquor in Scot
land Neck. Two weeks ago the town
commissioners here revoked the town
license which took effect Jan LIST. Or
the four saloons doing business here
two surrendered their town license and
accepted the $50 rebate which the
town rendered them, but the other two
made regular application before the
county commissioners yesterday
a large number of temperance peo-
pie went from here TO the court house
yesterday to protest against any IL
cense to sell liquor here. The matter
was argued before the commissioners
by Mr. W. a. Dunn for the prohibi-
tionists and by Mr.. Z. L. Travis for the
liquor men,
All this has been brought about by
the action of q mass meeting in Sep
tember 1903. which agreed that tbs
saloons should close Jan. j, 1905, and
that the legislature should be asked 10
establish either dispensary or pro-
hibition. AT a mass meeting held here
Dec. 81 the vote was 105 for prohs-

The saloons are now closed and

\ BAD RECORD.

There were about five million peo-

COTTON WILL NOT DFTERIORATE,

Cotton has been found in China five
VIII IN it was first grown. Cotton mills
have kept cotton on hand for years
without any deterioration. When
speculation sent cotton to seventeen
cents last year cotton came from hid
ing that farmers had been storing Tor
twenty years. 1t was as good as ever
Cotton if stored in a good place will
be as good ten years hence as today.
1t is about the only crop that suffers
no injury by holding for better prices.
OF course it greatly depreciates in
value if exposed to the weather or
poorly protected. No farmer ought
to hold a bale of cotton that he does
not protect
The lowest price at which a North
Carolina farmer, under the pest condi-
lions. can grow a pound of cotton in
seven cents at present prices of labor
and supplies. That allows nothing at
all for the rent of the land. 1t can be
grown al seven cents only under the
most favorable conditions and much
cotton grown in the South has cost
more than seven cents Those who
talk about raising cotton for five cents
refer TO those farmers who hire no
labor, their own children doing the
work. Such calculations have no
value, for the labor cost must be in
Guided in any calculation of cost of
producing cotton.
1t is a seri ous situation which con-
fronts the farmer of the South, but it
is plain that there is no sense in sell
ing cotton IL less than the cost OF pro-
duction, when il will not deteriorate
if held. The receipts this month have
fallen off. There ale said to be more
contracts Get for heavy deliveries this
month and spectators are struggling
to get cotton. If that is true there is
all the more reason for holding cot
ton. If not true, there is still no good
reason why farmers should sell their
cotton at present prices. Mr.. j. b.
Coflield, leading farmer and legis-
lator from Martin county, said yestnr-
day: Il will either get less or more
for the portion of the crop / now have
on hand" He voiced the sentiment of
the Wisest cotton growers in the
South. Every bale Of cotton that q
farmer puts on the market now helps
those who are trying to keep down
the price If farmers are wise they
will stand together, hold their cotton
until they can sell it at profit. They
can surely get a profit later on if there
is a large reduction in acreage mis-

SHOULD CHANGE THE TIME.

In this climate the months of jan
uary and February are the worst
months in the year The present in
clement weather is not unusual at
this time of year. and bi-ennially
there comes up proper objection to
holding the session of the General
Assembly in the only two months of
severe weather during the whole
year. The Legislature started in yes
terday with the worst weather in the
winter and it will OCCASION great in
convience to many legislators and may
cause some sickness this session, as it
has occasioned in the past.
Why not change the time for the
inauguration of the Governor and
other State officers and the meeting
of the General Assembly from Janu-
ary to April? The weather argument
is sufficient one, but there are other
weighty reasons for the change.
January is the busiest month of all
the year. 1t is the time for striking
); balance sheet for the operations
of the old year, for planning opera
tons for the new year, and is gen
eral settling time. 1t is therefore
easily with the bulk Of the legislators
the busiest month of the year
Isn't it worth while taking this
suggestion up and considering it seri-
ouSly?

\ MODERN MUNCHAUSEN.

Some silly people in Clay county,
Georgia, burned one bale of cotton.
There are two stories about it-one
that crowd of drinking fellows got
to~ether and burned the cotton for a
bonfire; another that some farmers.
misled by the unwise advice to burn
cotton, set fire to one bale, and only
one BALE That is the only basis for
the sensa tional stories that have been
spread broadcast all over the world
to the effect that in Clay county three
thousand bales of cotton had been
burned. Here is a portion of a sensa-
tional and untrue account sent out by
a Munchausen penny a-liner from At
lanta to the New York Times:
Fearing bankruptcy because of the
tremendous slump in cotton, the farm
ers and merchants are taking a heroic
measure to prevent a further fall and
to advance the price. This measure Is
no less than the burning of a portion
of the cotton which has not bee.
marketed. 1t is proposed that 1000
600 bales be destroyed, each State To
burn its proper proportion.
The burning began in Georgia TO-
day, and it is estimated that several!
thousand bales of cotton are now b!az-
ing in the southern section of the
State. At Fort Gaines alone over
5000 bales were burned and other
towns report similar bonfires.
Fear of q decline in the price o
cotton that will put it below the cos
of production has caused th.a al Nc~
ment to burn the surplus of about .
900, 900 bales above any CROP here to-
fore grown in the South. Even at tie
low prices prevailing to-day the reaii-
zation of this plan would result in int.
destruction of upward of $50 .006. 09p
worth of the staple. January cotton
sold in New Orleans at $40 cents TO-
day, which. with the average t&le
weighing over 500 pounds, would make
each bale worth upward of $32.
Those who have worked up the
cotton burning plan do not propose
that all the burning be done in a fe~
days. They propose to have the cOttOI,
destroyed gradually in order to show
the world that they are in earnest.
"Those taking part went about it as
soemnly as if enacted in religious
ceremony. At Fort Gaines hymns
were sung and prayers said. There
was nothing riotous about the proceed
ings The farmers and merchants
seemed to feel that they had been
driven to the wall and were making
d last fort to save themselves from
ruin
The man who wrote that story ought
not to be wasting his time in Atlanta.
He should go forth wearing the mantle
of Munchausen and Rider Haggard
and construct out of airy nothiliGncs-
a tale that would make every separate
hair stand cut upon the head of every
reader. 'Deadeyc Dick Or the Hero
of Bloody Gulch" would pa'e INTO in

LAWYERS Completely in Crime.

Boston Waterman.
1t is the greatest anomaly in cur
rent ethical ideas that il is considered
proper and right for lawyer TO ally
himself with the wrong in q case i'll
court and to use his best talent to Sc
cure the acquittal of a criminal or the
triumph of the wrong In no other
profession or calling would such a line
of action be tolerated for a moment.
Any other person placing himself in
such a position is at once excluded
from respectable society, and is re-
.garded as bad as the criminal hiraself.
Very curiously also the law takes the
same position in regard to all persons
shielding criminals or aiding IN the
triumph of wrong over right. They
are regarded as accessories after the
fact" and are punished as 'particeps
criminiS'' or accomplices in the crime.
There is of course. a necessity mat
persons accused should have all pos
slble opportun ty TO secure justice.
But there is no element of ethics
which calls for special facilities for
those guilty of crimes to escape pun
ishment, or which just ties any person
of any profession or under any code
Of procedure III aiding criminals to es-
cape punishment or helping wrong
doors to secure victory over those
whose rights they have invaded 1t
is a curious commentary on the force
OF form and usage above real truth
ana righteousness that lawyers alone
Of ali others are considered entitled
to take the position of accessories in
crime and to share in the profits of
fraud But aside from custom it is
impossible to show why a lawyer who
aids in the escape of a criminal from
his just punishment, or enables an at
tempt at fraud to be successfully car

of those who travel upon it's rail-
roads,
The record in the United States, and
in North Carolina as we'll as in the
other commonwealth, is one that
should give pause to the travelling
public and to the railroad manage
ment. 1t reflects upon the capacity
of the management and endangers the
lives of the travelling public. If
the matter were wholly in the hands
of the men actually in charge Of the
operating department of the rail-
roads, the very best and latest equip
ment would be purchased and the
railroad fatal accidents reduced to
a minimum. But the real trouble
is that the men actually in control
are holding their situations at the
will of bondholders and stockholders
who demand earnings upon a capital
that represents large quantities OF
water. This necessity compels the
operating department of too many
roads to practise an economy that VIII
not permit the use of the latest and
best protection to life. More than that,
the salaries paid to train dispatchers
and other railroad employees is often
so meagre, and the hours they are
on duty are SO long that they cam
not render the public the best SER
vice of which they are capable.
The public not only has a right to
require the use of all appliances that
will lessen accidents, but it is duty
they owe to require the use of all
such appliances by appropriate legis-
lation.

AN EDUCATIONAL STATESMAN.

The election of DR.. Charles d. Nc
liver. founder and head of the State
Normal and Industrial College at
Greensboro, as president of the South
ern Educational Conference at

the State. The Southern educators
evidently know that North Carolina is
the proper State to which to look
when they wish to select a progressive
leader 1t is only a few years ago
that President Venable was chosen
executive head of the Association, 1t
is gratifying to State pride to see
another eminent North Carolinian sc
soon chosen to direct the affairs Of
the educational organization of the
South.
DIR. McIver has won a position not
only among foremost educators in the
South, but among the foremost edu-
Gators in America as well. The
phenomenal success of the State Col
lege for Woman at Greensboro has
been mainly due to his wisdom and
enthusiasm, and in the revival of
education that blesses this and other
States he has come to be recognized
as the most resourceful and inspiring
figure in united forces for effort to Sc
cure general public education. The
educators were wise in selecting him
to lead in the great work in hand.
He will walk in new and approved
paths and if the South follows him
its educational progress will be upon
lines that will conserve all it's best ira
ditions and help to develop its great
resources

tain that a bin will be introduced
in the approaching session of the

domination in the Eastern counties

by the passage OF the Constitutional
amendment, and all lovers of true de-
mocracy, will expect to have this
