S. D., by the authorities Of that
city, arrived in Bemidji as per
schedule, and proceeded to give
a series of his fake fits, after
wards applying to the county

His arrival had been anticipated
by the authorities, however, and
an examination of the man con-
vinced them that his fits were
not genuine, and his speedy
ejectment from the poor farm
followed. He was told to leave
the city and from the latest re-
ports he was travelling in the dir

ONE PARDON GRANTED.
Ernest Porter, Sentenced to Two
Years. Given Freedom.

Ernest Porter, white, from New
hanover county, sentenced to two
years on the county roads for seduc4
tlon was pardoned yesterday by Gov
ernor Glenn. Porter was convicted at
the September term, 1903 of New
Hanover court for the seduction of
a girl under promise to marry her,
ana was sentenced to two years on
The roads. The Governor pardoned
the prisoner because of newly discoV-
cred testimony, which proves that the
prosecutriX was an immoral womaIi
at the time of her trial, and also that
she knew at the time the crime was
committed, that Porter was already
married. The father of the prosecu-
trlx, was among those who petitioned
for Porter's pardon, and the trial
judge, on account of the new evidence,
recommended that the pardon be
granted.
The pardon was granted on condi-
tlon OF the good behavior of Porter.
The Governor refused to pardon
William Caudle, of Wilkes county,
convicted at the January term, 1905,
OF wilkes court for larceny. He was
sentenced to four months on the
county roads, and the pardon was re-
fused, because there was no good

TIRED OF HOME. sNEERs.

We are very tired of such express
sions as this used few days ago by
Senator Martin, of Virginia:
THE South has been too sentimental.
This is practical age. Our Northern
neighbors have been getting the hest
of everything; we have been talking
constitutions while they have been
getting large appropriations; while We
have been theorizing, they have been
realizing"
The South need not quit talking
constitutions" in order to get neces-
sary and proper appropriations,
and it should wish no other
kind 1t is true that some
Northern men are ready to sac
rifce everything except 'the old flag
to violate the constitution to get big
appropriations. Should the South fol-
low that dangerous example,
If you find out what a man thinks
you know what he will do. If he
has correct theories, he will act along
right lines. When man quits 'theo
rizing is quits seeking sound
ideals and sound principles of gov
eminent, you may be sure he will do
realizing" regardless of whether
what he gets ought to be granted.
Senator Martin, of course, does not
mean that the South should abandon
its convictions, but his sneers ut
''theorizing'' and the constitution
i'll become him. There has been too
much disposition upon the part of
some men to "sneer"at Southern lead
ers because they are not practical"
1t is not q fair charge. Southern pub
lie mon are intensely practical and
active to secure every advantage that
ought to be given to any section but
they are not ready to ''sell their birth
right for mess of pottage" and when
they do get ready to do that they Will
bea unworthy to represent the people
who have honored them with tfeir
suffrage.

AMONG THE RAILROADS.

A meeting of the Baltimore stock
holders of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway Company, was held at Balt1-
more Monday. The stockholders were
those who deposited their stock under
the reorganization plan. One hun
dred and fifty thousand shares of
stock were represented at the meeting.
The object of the meeting was to
urge the reorganization committee to
declare the reorganization plan oper-
ative at once without waiting for the
stock which has not yet been deposit
ed under the plan to assent. The
following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, on January 1St, 1905, a
plan was issued for the deposit of the
preferred and common stocks of the
Seaboard Air Line railway which plan
named a committee to carry out the
provisions thereof; and
Whereas, the date of expiration
for the deposit of stocks under said
plan was February Is, 1905, and
thereafter the time was extended for
the deposits of such stocks until
March II, 1905; and,
Whereas, 521, 908 shares out of a
total of approximately 100000 shares
Of the stock of the Seaboard Air Line
railway have been deposited under
said plan and thirty days have elapsed
since the expiration of the final date
for the deposit of such stacks; be it
Resolved, That the undersigned
holders or representatives of holders,
of Morton Trust Company receipts for
said Seaboard stocks believe hat the
plan of exchange proposed is for the
best interests of all the stockholders
of the Seaboard Air Line railway, and
that sufficient time has elapsed for
declaring the said plan operative.
Notwithstanding the fact that certain
shares of said Seaboard stocks, APP
proximately 10000 shares are report
ed to have declined to accept said plan
and make deposit of their stock i'm
accordance Herewith.
Be it further resolved, That the
committee having in charge the said
plan be requested to Immediately de-
clare said plan effective, or take such
steps as in it's judgment will be re-
CURED to carry out substantially the
provisions of the exchange named in
said plan.
Resolved, further, That a copy of
these resolutions be forwarded to the
chairman of the committee named
under the plan of January II, 1906"
Some of the papers are talking a
good deal about Southport about
helping to build it up as a port and
coaling station. 1t ought to be done,
and will be done. Durham will do
her share. We already have two
railroads heading that way from
Durham. One of these roads, the Will
mington, Southport and Durham, is
arranging and building its terminal
facilities at that port. 1t will be the
biggest line through the State, and

WANTED: A SQUARE DEAL.

The Prohibition forces in Green's
boro have issued a very sensible adj
dress to the people. Last June Green's
boro voted prohibition and the address
declares in part as follows:
prohibition in Greensboro is en-
titled to square DEAL, and it will
not have a square DEAF if the en-
forcement of it is put into the hands
of men who are not it's friends and
who are not in earnest about giving
it a fair and square trial. If the adj
miniStration of the city's affairs for
the next two years is entrusted to
men who are in sympathy with the
prohibition law. it will be demon
strated that it is either a success or
a failure and the question will be set
tied one way or the other. On the
other hand if it's administration is en-
trusted to those not in sympathy with
it, failure will be the necessary con-
sequence, but failure that proves
nothing and that leaves the question
unsettled and just where it stands now.
The best interests of the city require
that it should be settled one way or
the other, and that the present divis-
ion of the people on this subject
should be as short lived as possible.
til it has had a fair trial and
square deal"
In Raleigh, when the temperance
forces voted out the saloons and sub
stituted a dispensary, the Big Nine in
Raleigh, composed of men who had
opposed the .dispensary, sought to
make it a failure by turning it over
to members of the board of aldermen
and others who were opposed to it.
They succeeded for a few days, but a
righteous public sentiment was so
strong for "a square deal'' that the
policy of the Big Nine could not
stand
If town votes for high license, the
men who wish to see that policy given
a fair trial should control the city gov
eminent. If town votes for prohibit
ton. that law should be enforced by
men who wish the law enforced. If
town votes for a dispensary, only
men who will give it a fair test ought
to be chosen to public position.
When the people vote for a certain
policy, the men in sympathy with that
policy ought to be chosen to put it
in operation. That is the only way
to properly carry out the will of the
majority.

VIRGINIA TESTIMONY.

When North Carolinians go to Vir-
the spot where Wyatt, of Edgecombe
county, was killed in the Bethel bat
tle--the first soldier who gave his life
for the Confederacy-there will be no
man to deny that North Carolina
was first at Bethel" Virginians, who
claim Wyatt as a native of the Old

teers in a North Carolina regiment,

ment to the brave men who were the
first to gives the life of comrade for

fought only eleven days after North
Carolina had adopted the Ordinance
of Secession, and writing of that battle
the Petersburg Express at the time
said:
''All hail to the brave sons of the
Old North State whom Providence
seems to have thrust forward in the
first pitched battle on Virginia soil''
The Richmond Examiner likewise
voiced the universal expressions of
praise of the North Carolina soldiers
by saying:
Honor to whom honor is due. All
our troops appear to have behaved
nobly at Bethel, but the honors of the
day are clearly due to the splendid
regiment of North Carolina, whose
charge of bayonets decided it,
