Says g. Rutherfordton, n. c, spe-
cial of April to the Charlotte Obser-
YER: A new law, for this county, pass
ed by the last legislature, makes 1t
misdemeanor for any person to have
over one gallon of whisky in his pos
session at any one time--more than
this amount being prinla facie evi-

Police ]. d. Justice. Long had In his

Ions each. Failing to give bond, ne

William M. Stewart, who served In
the United States senate for thirty
years, refused a reelection, and his
last term expired on the 3rd or last
March, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
He was rated as a millionaire, and, In
fact, he was the possessor of a con-
siderable fortune Now, at the age OF

Kansas City, Mo-, April 8: Judge
Chas. F. Amidon has decided In the
Federal court that the mail order
whisky business cannot be barred
from the use Of the United States
mails. The decision was made on the
application OF a distilling company TO
restrain the postmaster OF Kansas
City from executing the fraud order
recently issued by the postmaster gen.
eral. Judge Amidon granted the ap-
plication for the injunction and an
order will be issued to require the
postmaster to release all mail ana 10
pay all money orders which he has
been holding up. The business involv-
ed advertising which offered to pros
pective customers ten-year-old whis-
ky direct from the distillers. Postof-
fee inspectors reported to the govern
ment that these companies had no
distillers of their own and that the
advertisements were palpable frauds.
Judge Amidon decided that though the
advertisements might be untruthful,
still the advertisers did not violate the
Federal statutes. The court added that
fully 75 per cent of all articles OF food
are adulterated but this fact will not
permit the postmaster general to
break up the manufacturers business.
New York, April 8: In the course
Of his sermon in Plymouth church,
Brooklyn, today, the Rev. DR.. Newell
Dwight Hills referred to the gift or
100000 made by John D. Rockefeller
to the American board of foreign mis-
sions, and to Mr.. Rockefellers son.
He said in part: THE saddest words
that have been written in this gen.
Grafton were spoken before Brown un-
iversity by a young man who is to
inherit one Of the greatest fortunes In
this country. They were spoken In
defense Of the trusts. Listen to them: |
The American Beauty rose can be
produced in all its splendor only by
sacrificing the early buds that grow
I'D around it. The rose has 1000
buds and in order to produce the
American Beauty the gardener goes
around 1t with knife and ships 999
in order that all the strength OF the
beauty may be forced into one bloom
In his economic argument this young |
man tells the working classes brutally
that 999 small business men must be
snuffed out of existence in order that
his American beauty, the trust, may
be produced. Listen to Christ: Let
the strong bear the burdens Of the
weak and again, Give and 1t shall
be given unto YOU These words in
defense of the trusts are the most
heartbreaking things in literature to
those who know what is going to come
in the future. Can you wonder that
after that, when a man gives gifts,
we have no gratitude to return?"
- Former Secretary of the Navy Hill
airy A. Herbert, chairman OF the re-
ception committee of the Southern In
dustrial parliament, which is to con-
vene in Washington on May %, gave
out an interview last Saturday in
which he said: Heretofore two fac
tors have mitigated against desirable |
immigration into the southern states.
They are the popular impression that
in many places the country is un-
healthy and also that it is overrun
with cheap colored labor, with which |
intelligent white industry did not de-
sire to compete, but in fact native |
white labor in late years has proved |
itself more efficient there, especially in
farming, than negro labor. Regarding |
the healthfulness of the south, statis-
tics will show that that section is as
healthy as the north. In mining en-
terprises, Alabama is rapidly taking
position with the foremost, while in
manufacturing establishments South |
Carolina shows a gratifying increase.
The trucking resources of that part OF
the Atlantic slope, from Virginia to
Florida, carry annually many thou
sands of dollars into the territory. If
the governors of the southern states
accompanied by intelligent delegations
competent to speak of the sanitary
conditions. agricultural and mineral
resources and manufacturing oppor-
tunities, would assemble in Washing
ton and pronounce authoritatively
upon these subjects. their states would
be benefited and it will attract atten-
