The details of the savage and brutal
attack by Wilkes county revenue Off
GERS on Mr. r. A. Deal. editor of the
Wilkesboro Chronicle. published exclu-
sively in yesterdays News and Obser-
YER, startled and stunned the whole
State. Mr.. Deal is one of the best
editors in the State. a gentleman of
character and standing. He is plain
spoken and frank. but always careful
to print nothing rejecting upon any
man except upon testimony that he
believes is unimpeachable. In his last
weeks paper he severely criticised two
revenue officers, who, meeting him at
the post office. sought to answer the
grave charges made in the Chronicle
by personal assault upon the editor.
lust out of bed from an illness of two
weeks. The attack has aroused the in
dignation of the people of Wilkes
where Mr.. Deal is justly held in the
highest esteem and they are deter
mined that the men guilty of the at
tack shall pay the full penalty for~the
crime.
The revenue business in North Car
DINA is a stencil in the nostrils of hon
est men, it has been made the corrupt
agency of corrupt politics, it has en-
braced in its ranks men whose chief
business has been to steal from the
government and intimidate voters. OF
course there are honest men in the
milo hi U
lonesome position" The sessions of
the Federal Court at Greensboro have
shown to some degree the wholesale
violation of the law by officials and
distillers and throws light upon the
political and official conspiracies that
have been employed to defraud the
government and help the worst ele-
ment in the Republican party.
The elimination of these crimes is
the attempt to silence a brave editor
by brutal assault. That blow will
arouse the law-abiding of the people
of the State like bell in the night.
and they will not rest until the de-
bauchery and outlawry of too many
Federal officials is ended.
Commissioner Yerkes: Here is your
call to North Carolina. There is but
one way to begin to make the Repub-
lican party In North Carolina respect
able" and that is to put large per
cent of your revenue officials in jail,
and appoint men who will enforce the
law, not enter into conspiracy to rob
the government and think it their
duty to pack conventions brow-beat
delegates and seek to silence criticism
by attempting to kill an honest editor.

Ing city as High Point, and so estab-

seven months since his last trip. The
sine qua-non of city appearance, which
is absent in so many places its size,
first impressed him. The broad main
business street cemented from center
to curb with the very best modern
street paving material, ianked on
either side by wide, clean, cemented
sidewalks, all graded to a graceful
slope, clean, smooth, and noiseless. the
very first impression was one of ad-
miration for the public spirit and long
sightedness of the city government
which had the nerve and the Judgment

greatness and success.

men now voting the Democratic ticket
might go over to the Republican party,
but as long as they are alive they can
make noise enough and trouble
enough to repel good men.
The truth is that the South is Demo-
cratic because it believes in the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party. That
is fact all these superficial observers
overlook. Occasionally some of them
get wrong, as some of the farmers
did when they voted the Populist tick

when they bolted the national ticket

DIVORCE WHILE YOU WAIT.

The divorce mill grinds on, but most
fore the new law passed. Six divorces
were granted in Edgecombe county
last week The most important mat
ter now, with reference to divorce
suits, is in the hands of the Superior
Court Judges. An unfortunate habit
has grown up in some courts of trying
divorce suits while the lawyers are
getting ready for some important
matter" Not many months ago this
writer saw a divorce case tried, the
decree granted, and everything over
within five minutes. In Wake Superior
Court a few years ago six divorces
were granted in twelve minutes-one
every two minutes. This is equivalent
to saying that they were granted with
out investigation or proper considera-
ton.
The efficiency of the new law de-
ponds chiefly upon the Superior Court
Judges-just as in fact does all the
laws that seek to check evil tenden-
cies. No man in North Carolina holds
so important and responsible a posi-
ton as the Superior Court Judge. He
can do more for the welfare of society
than all other officials if he will turn
deaf ear to entreaties of paid attor-
neys to suspend Judgment on pay
ment of costs" permit violators of
temperance laws to go with a payment
OF fine which they will make back
by further illegal selling, and require
a full hearing and complete investiga-
ton before granting any divorce.

THE TEN HOUR LAW DECISION.

The decision of the Supreme Court,
holding that the New York ten hour
most far-reaching decision of this
century. The Federal Congress and
nearly all State Legislatures have en-
acted laws limiting the number of
hours which men in certain lines of
labor could work. The labor unions
have been particularly active to secure
such legislation, and few lawyers have
seemed to doubt it's constitutionality.
But in New York the law making
sixty hours weeks work in bakeries
was contested on the ground that the

the last vo'..l have been unveiled and
the whole ceremony was a complete

Brother Josephus Daniels, the patriotic

Legislature has passed a bill prohibit
ing the marriage of divorced persons
within one year after the signing of
the decree of divorce. That is a good
law. Most of the divorces are prompt

else, and if that were forbidden di-

now most anxious to secure it.

THE FREIGHT BLOCKADE.
Carson n Colorado is Now Prac-
ticalIy Clear of Cars.

After a trying struggle OF nearly
six months, during which time its
southern Nevada feeders have been
swamped with inbound freight, the
Southern Pacific is at last able to
see daylight through the mass of
merchandise that has been consigned
to Goldfeld and Tonopah, says the
Reno Gazette. By the employment
OF increased forces of men and the
purchase of hundreds of new cars
and many engines the Carson and
Colorado and Tonopah lines have at
last practically cleared their side
tracks of the cars that have been
blockaded for weeks and in some
Instances months. The standard
guage rails are now into Wabuska
aud many thousand feet OF side track
have been constructed there IN order
to make that the transfer point in
stead of Mound House. In a few
more days standard guage cars will
be run into Wabuska and until an.
other long stretch is standardized 1t
will remain the transfer point for
freight and express between Reno
and the gold camps.
There are still many belated cars
standing on the side tracks of the
Southern Pacific, Virginia and
Truckee and Carson and Colorado,
but the number is far less than it
was a few weeks ago. In fact their
presence no longer menaces the
operation of the lines, as all will be
taken care of within a very short
time now.
The embargo or certain classes OF
freight still remains in force and will
not be lifted until the lines are again
free from all congestion. At this
time shipments of groceries, pro.
visions, boots aud shoes, wearing APP.
parel, bedding, household goods, oil,
fuel, grain, hay feedstufs and coal
are still accepted but other consign
ments in the nature of building ma
terials, heavy machinery, etc, have
to wait. The roads will not be in
a position to accept these for a short
time, but when the embargo is
finally lifted there is expected to be
an influx Of goods Of the heavier class
that is expected to keep the lines
buster than they have ever been be-
fore.
