Citizens Help Fight Flames.

One thousand citizens forming a bucket
line probably saved the city of Edwards
vile, H., from destruction by fire. The
fire started in a livery stable and was
caused by an explosion Of gasoline stove.
The flames were carried by a high wind
and spread so rapidly that it soon became
evident that the fire department had more
than it could handle and an appeal was
made TO the citizens. The total loss is es-
timated at 10000.

Under the heading six More Cone
The Williamson Enterprise announces
that a deputy sheriff has just taken to
Mecklenburg county to work on the
roads six convicls of Martin county
and it says these make twenty able
bodied men the latter county has do
ing compulsory work in Improving the
roads of other counties while the Maj
tin county people plunge through
mud and sand" Mecklenburg county
pays twenty dollars a piece for con-
victs from other counties, pays the eG-
penses of keeping and transportation
both ways. The Enterprise asks why
it is that Martin county cannot afford
to work her own prisoners on her
county roads if it pays M~ecklenburg to
incur this additional expense to ger
convicts for her own use.
1t is we'll known that the latter
county has the best roads in the state
and the residents of the towns and of
the rural districts are fully aware OF
the advantage these good roads are to
them. They have increased the value
of real estate and improved the cond1-
ton of the farms and increased the
trade of the towns.
1t is indeed a short-sighted and erro-
neous policy for any county to refuse
to spend money in improvement Of its
public roads. The people of no coun-
ty who have had experience of the two
systems would give up the improved
roads and go back to the old ones il
they could have returned to them al
the money they have paid out in extra
taxes for the improvements.
Good roads net only add to the
wealth of the section in which they
are built, but they improve the socia
and intellectual status Of the people
There are better schools and they are
more generally attended. The people
visit the neighboring towns oftener
They mingle with each other to 6
greater extent. They become better
posted on current events outside OF
their immediate neighborhoods. They
improved their condition in everS
way.

The man Peter Smith, who was
hanged at Marshall on Monday, just
before the execution gave to Sheriff
Reed, of BuncomDe county, the names
of two men, who, he says, murdered
his step-daughter some time ago.
Smith was charged with this crime
and was put ON trial, but there was
not enough evidence to convict him
Sheriff Reed has not yet made public
the names of the men. The murder Of
Smiths ~step-daughter was a most
horrible crime. The body was found
in the woods with the head severed
Smith broke down completely as The
time approached for his execution. He
became a perfect wreck physically and
almost as bad mentally. Like most
men who suffer death on the gallows
for heinous crimes. he declared that
he met his end without fear; that he
was a saved man; that he loved his
enemies and had the assurance of go.

TO FORM SOCIALIST PARTY.

An effort is to be made to form a
socialist party in this state. A state
convention is to be held in Greensboro
on the 18th of this month. 1t is claim
ed by the promoters that the prospects
are good for a large attendance. The
attempt will be made to effect a thor
ougn organization of the party in this
state. Eugene V. Debbs, the socialist
candidate for president last year, is
expected to be present, with other
leading socialists of the national
party.
We bet you Marion Butler finds that
business of some kind compels him to
be in Greensboro on that day, and
while there, of course, he will try to
make a deal with the socialists, II
there are enough present to get up a
negotiation with. In the state election
in 1904 the socialists polled 100 votes
out of the total of 206.134 cast by all
parties. This vote was for w. A. Peg
ram. candidate for governor. This
party had only one more candidate
in the field, j. c. Lindsay for
lieutenant governor, who received
106 votes. So there does not
seem to be much cause for fear on the
part of the democrats that their par
ty will be greatly weakened by the or
ganization of the socialists. If Marion
Butler should succeed in making a dear
he will not add greatly to the strength
of the Pop-Rep. combination.

SLAVERY IN THE CANAL ZONE

While the federal government IS TAX
ing such great interest in breaking up
what it calls p.onage in sou1e Of the
southern states. 1t would do well to
look into the worse conditions which
exist in the Panama canal zone.
One instance is given, occurring on
last Friday, in which several hundred
laborers from Martinique, brought TO
Colon on a French steamer to work on
the canal, were most brutaIly treated
and forced by a squad of Panama and
zone police to disembark against their
will and were hustled under compui-
sion on a train and taken to the int
rior. When the vessel arrived the
men refused to go ashore and demand
ed to be returned to their home, claim
ing that the conditions were not as
represented. Squads of policemen
boarded the steamer and began to
drive the men ashore, using their cluos
freely and with telling effect. About
fifty of the men jumped overheard
but were picked up. Nearly every
man showed signs of the attack by
the policeman and several had receiv-
ed evere wounds. When they reach
the interior they will be put to work.
If this is the manner in which the
canaT construction officials expect to
secure labor on the work there are
going to be lively times in the zone
before the canal is finished. This Is
worse than any peonage the fedora
judges pretend to have discovered in
Alabama and Mississippi.
If the administration does not take
vigorous measures to put a stop tc
such conduct on the part of it's repre-
sentatives it will bring disgrace upon
the whole country. The idea of forcing
a whole ship load of foreigners to land
and proceed to the interior to act as
slaves for the government is ap2ali-
ing. We should think the French gov
eminent would take the matter III
and see that r%eparation is made % its
subjects for being SO treated on United
States territory, by agents of the gov
eminent.

The manne in which Mr.. Roosevelt
has settled the question of his visit
to New Orleans will win many friend:
for him in that city. He shows the
people he has no personal fear at com
ing among them at this, time; yet he
has consideration for the feelings OF
the people of adjacent states who fear
that a spread of the fever might be
caused by the passage of his train
through their section on it's return
from the infected city. To avoid any
danger of this he will make the return
trip by sea. He will take further pre-
cautions against bringing danger 10
any one by separating from his party
before he enters the yellow fever dis
trict. The people of New Orleans will
fully appreciate a visit from the presl,
dent made under such circumstances
and the whole country will applaud
his conduct. Of course there are some
who will say this is a grandstand
play on the part of the president. We
prefer to give him credit for the better
motives which lie upon the surface
rather than to conjecture others which
would not be so creditable to him.
