THE MIDDLE GROUND is THE
PROPER COURSE.

The House yesterday, after pleas
ant debate in which excellent men in
terchanged views, decided upon the
middle ground with reference to the
bills increasing the salaries of the
judicial officers of the State. Some
good men wished the increase to be
TO $500. and some equally good Iner
doubted the wisdom of any increase
at this time. But the House by a large
majority. decided upon the middle
ground of increasing the salaries $500
each. and the bill passed it's several
readings.
We congratulate the House upon
taking this wise action and believe il
to be the proper course. Those who
wished a larger increase and those who
opposed any increase will. we doubt
not. after the Senate has concurred in
the House bill, come to see that the
best disposition possible has been made
OF the important matter.

Cincinnati Ohio Feb. 15.-With

Strawberries and vegetables this sea,
son special meeting of the Execu-
tive Committee for the East Caro-
lima Fruit and Truck Growers Asso-
citation was held in this city today
for the purpose of closing up certain
matters. the following being present:
w. l.. Hill. Warsaw; J A. Westbrook
Mt. Olive; J. s. Westbrook, Wallace;
w. e. Thigpen, Chadbourn; w. e.
Springer, Wilmington.
The general conditions and out
Sdok for the approaching seasons
business was thoroughly discussed in
detail, and plans were laid for afford
ing the growers along the various rail-
roads in this territory much better
service for information, schedules,
etc, than eve before. Primarily, the
meeting was called to take action on
an enlarged Weather Bureau service,
whichs carries with it a system that
will cover all the shipping points in
this territory from the South Caro-
lima line to Virginia. This question
has been discussed between the EX-
ecutive Committee land the Agricul-
tural Department at Washington to-
gether with the Weather Bureau, and
the meeting formulated plans that
will no doubt prove of great value
to the growers in the way of posting
them daily and almost hourly at
times, on weather conditions and fore
casts. In short. it is proposed to re-
'ceive throughout the trucking belt
of the two Carolinas and Virginia the
same special forecasts of weather
conditions that are given to the fruit
growers in California, such as the
resolutions adopted at the last annual
meeting called for instead of the
necessarily limited services now re-
ceived through the local bureaus, al
though it should be remembered that
the local bureaus have done all In
their power with the limited means
at their command. But now condi-
tons and emergencies have arisen,
and it is these that the Association
proposes to meet. and meet success
fully.
The forecasts therefore, will come
directly from Washington to all inn
portant points covered by the asso-
ciation's membership, based upon In
formation from al parts of the coun-
try, and this territory as we'll, ana
these predictions or warnings Will be
posted at each of the points where
there is a telegraph office. Where
there is no telegraph office the long
distance telephone will be used
wherever possible. The Journal and
Shipping Master Bauman have been
diligently at work on this matter ever
since the last annual meeting In this
city, and the resolution as offered by
the Journals editor was unanimous
ly adopted. and it is with no ordinary
pleasure that we are practically in
sight of something tangible for the
growers. The local weather fore
caster, Mr.. Felger, of this city. and
the weather bureau service at Wash
ington, have already and are now
giving their encouragemestan aid to
the proposed project, and the expert
ment will no doubt prove a great
blessing to the. growers and result IN
an annual saving of many thousands
of dollars. Score another victory for
the East Carolina Truck and Fruit
Growers Association!

TURING.

With but two or three exceptions in
The whole State of North Carolina, so
far as our information goes, the sue
cessful manufacturers are strong adj
vocates of temperance legislation.
Every manufactures, with one excep-
ton, in the Senate voted for the Ward
bill, and he felt influenced to vote
against it by sentiment in his district
away from the cotton mills.
The two towns in Piedmont North
Carolina that have made the great
est progress in the past ten years,
without any influx of large outside
capital, are High Point and Concord.
They have grown rapidly and steadily
and the bulk of the products of their
cotton mills and furniture factories
is sold out of the State, thus bring
ing into the State many thousands of
dollars. The fact that both are tenn
perance towns has been one of the.
causes that have helped their growth,
for the best class Or manufacturers
and skilled labor know the demorali-
cation that flows from open saloons.
Salisbury, situated midway between
Concord and High Point, has also
grown and is splendid town. but it
permits distilleries and open saloons.
It's chief growth in the past ten years
has been due to the million dollars
investment of the Southern Railway in
the immense shops at the suburb of
ing the danger in liquor, saw to it that
in The charter Incorporating Spencer
the sale or manufacture of liquor is
forbidden. AS an evidence that some
good people in Salisbury see the value
of temperance as an economic PROPOSE
ton, the following is taken from the
Salisbury Sun:
Salisbury loses an industry which
paid every week $3.50 TO it's employees
and would have paid $500 could
enough help have been obtained. From
$13,500 to $4,000 a year is thus ia
ken away from us and added to High
Point. The unreliability of help was
reason for removal. What made the
help unreliable? Does not the fact that
the plant goes to n dry town shed
some light on this subject? If that is
not enough, just lake stroll through
Council and Main street saloons and
the reason is obvious One is, wheth-
er he will or no. forced to the conciu-
sion that if Salisbury had been a dry
town, the removal would not have
taken place"

In connection with the Selma con-
nection, much capital was made by
the railroad over the fact that it had
permitted the matter 10 be tried III
the State courts without objection on
it's part. The usual practice of the
railroads is, of course, to cry for an
injunction of the Federal court as
soon as an attempt is made TO rcgu-
late their conduct or their service.
In the Selma connection case. the road
has put up with the State courts only
SO long as they had n chance to win.
Protestations about abiding the de-
cisions of the courts" will have little
value when the defendants refuse, as
they have done in this instance, to
abide the issue when it is determined.
When the time came, the railroad in
stead of complying, went to the Fed
eral court at the last. AS Il result the
1ong-necded and much demanded con-
nection will be still further postponed.
Having won in the State. the Corpor-
alton Commission will see that the
states interests do not suffer in the
highest court iii the land. The con-
nection bringing Eastern North Car
Dina into touch with the rest of the
State is deferred but not defeated.

THE DIVORCE BILL.

When the divorce bill was under
consideration. Representative Nor
phew made an earnest appeal to add
a new cause of divorce. and in his
plea pictured the grievous wrongs suf-
fered by a splendid young woman.
and he asked the House members if
they would force that splendid young
woman to live with a man who was so
unworthy?
The answer to Mr.. Morpheus APP
peal, and to all other appeals for new
causes for divorce. is this: Under
present laws no good woman is COM
PEELED to live with such a man. She
can get divorce from bed and board
and need not have any contact what
ever with the unworthy husband.
Therefore, there is no need to add
to the causes for divorce. The pres
ent law granting divorce from bed and
board protects the woman in almost
every case and the hardships we hear
SO much about are not SO grievous as
pictured.
