Blind Tigers and the Watts Law.
Shelby Aurora. |

Shelby Aurora.
While it is no easy matter to sup
press the illicit manufacture and sale
of liquor, the people Of this State
had right to expect a very great
Improvement in this line when the
Watts law was enacted and later
strengthened by the Ward law, but
in this expectation they have been
wOefully disappointed. Under ex.
listing laws the State and county ad.
ministrations have every power nee
essary to suppress this class of law
lessness. In every county is sher-
iii and in every community deputy
and justices of the peace, yet blind
tiger flourish as never before and the
officers treat the matter with indif-
ference, with very few exceptions.
IT revenue officer passes through
a community in which liquor is il
licitly manufactured or sold with
out discovering and arresting the
guilty parties, the Democratic press
at once charges him with derelic-
ton Of duty or Of aiding and abet-
ting in the crime. Why not apply
the same test to the Democratic off,
GERS who know, or could know with
a little investigation, that the Watts
law is being violated every day
near their own doors ? That which
is sauce for the goose ought to be
sauce for the gander.
The truth Of the matter Is, the
Watts and the Ward laws were en-
acted for political effect, as public
sentiment is growing daily in favor
of prohibition, but the officers fail
to enforce the laws because they are
unpopular with the masses gener-
ally. We submit that these laws
ought 10 be enforced or repealed. If
the burden of suppressing this class
of lawlessness rests solely with the
internal revenue officials, they ought
to know it so they will not rely
upon the State administration for

ait is said that the Yancey Coun.

the structure was not satisfactorily
constructed. The ownsrs Of the

had nothing TO do with the bridge
contract, having only paid cash for
the bonds. If correctly stated, this
is about the rankest instance of re-
pudiation yet attempted in North
Carolina. It is as if man borrow
money and make an improbable
deal with third party and refuse
on that account to pay back the
amount borrowed. The courts will
in all probability decide for the
bondhOlders."
It is possible that these Yancey
County officials got hold of a stray
copy of the News and Observer and
came to the conclusion that it was
alright to repudiate the bonds they
had issued and in this way get out

Negligent of Their Duty

"Now we learn, notably from
Moore county, that the State officers
in the county are Indifferent and
neglectful of their duty in arresting
liquor sellers, suppressing "blind
tigers" and the like. We thought
that there were such things as
grand juries in the land, and that
officials sworn to execute the law
could be made to do so, or be
punished. AS long as the Watts
law and the Ward bill are statutes
they should be enforced, and if it is
shown that public sentiment does
not sustain them they should be
repealed, the politicians and the
empircists to the contrary notwith-

THE POST BACK-sLIDFs.


In our leading editorial in the
last issue Of this paper we quoted
some extracts from The Raleigh Post
on methods Of voting, etc. One of
these extracts from the Post con-
tanned the following: "But the fact
remains that we have 10 make laws
to protect the voters against dishon,
est election officials" We then
called the Posts attention to the
fact that there was no law on the
statute books TO protect the voters
against dishonest election officials,
and asked the Post if it would help
to give us fair election law and If
it was in favor Of the repeating the
act passed by the Legislature of
1901 to protect election thieves in
this State.
To our first inquiry the Post re-
plies in part as follows:
"If other states find it essary
to protect the ballot from dishonest
officials, why not North Carolina?
1t is true that the Caucasian's polit-
litical organization does not control
elections in this State at present, but
it Is a safe pecautiOn to keep the law
on the statute books in view of the
possibility thereof, from which we
trust that the fates will cOnsiderate
ly deliver US.
Yes, we trust great deal to hon.
est election officials, especially in
North Carolina, and we have good
reason TO be proud of the results
What need to say more? But to en-
tirely satisfy the mind of the eau
casian, We will reply to its inquiry
by saying that we have not the
slightest desire to see our honest and
safe election laws replaced by sys-
tenn like that which the Fusionists
u01Dg1t D9sf TO fead % d dFea 1Hiee2 2ui ff s
into the Depths"
We had hoped that the Post was
looming around" in favor of fair
election law, but its last spasm has
thrown it back into the mire. But
the Post did not answer our second
question as to whether it was in ia :
vor Of repeating the law making it
the duty of the Attorney General to
spend the taxpayers money to pro,
tect election thieves in this State
However, We suppose it is standing
"pat" on that also.
The Post says: eff other states
find it necessary to protect the ballot
from dishonest officials. why not
North Carolina?" That's just what
we wanted to know. We haven't
such law On our statute books now,
but to the contrary we have law
to protect dishonest election officials
who have stolen honest mems votes.
And that's just what we want rem
edied.
The Fusionist passed fair cleo.
tion law and it was only by the
abuse of this law, and the employ
ment of redshirts, winchesters and
some mean "licker" that the Dem.
Ocrats ever again got in power in
this State, and then passed an unfair
election law to perpetuate them
selves in power.
The Caucasian has never tried to
lead any one into the "depths," and
it is not necessary to now do so, for
auy one who advocates the election
methods used by the machine in
this State for the past few years
will get into the "depths" soon
enough without being led.

Dothan, June 27-(SpeciaI) )-The preliminary trial of Byron Trammell for killing R. J. Barnes. in his (Trammell's) own home last Wednesday. was heard today before Judge George Leslie
 Trammell killed Barnes on account of being too intimate with his wife On last Monday, the 18th, Trammell went to Montgomery and was away from home Monday night; upon his return home Tuesday night, or nearly next morning, 1t seems that Trammelrs sus- picion was aroused, and he got his breakfast early and told his wife he was going 10 the postoff1ce to his busi- ness.
 Instead of going to the postofice, he went into the parlor and concealed himself behind the piano to await de- velopments Barnes had not gotten up as yet, he being a boarder at Tram mells house. Only Q short time had wife appeared in the parlor and then he SEW and heard what was going on be- tween them. Still he made no move till they went out. Then he armed him- self and went to town to hunt Barnes, and failed to find him till he returned at dinner time. when he shot him down
 without word and went to town and gave himself up to the sheriff
 It was proven by several witnesses that Barnes and Mrs. Trammell were too intimate and that they had been seen on more than one occasion. After all the testimony, Judge Leslie allowed Trammell bail in the sum of $500. His bond was readily maue and he Is now out of jail.
 Mrs. Trammell was In the court house all during the hearing and wanted to make A statement, but 1t was not al- lowed by the Judge It Is reported on the streets tonight that Mrs. Trammell will go at once to her people. and that Trammell will continue in the postofflce.
