The Good Old WAY.

A sever cold or attack Of Ia grippe
is like a fire, the sooner you combat
it the better your chances are to over
power it. But few mothers in this e
are willing to do the necessary work
required to give a good o~ld-fashioned
reliable treatment such as would be
administered by their grandmothers,
backed by Boschee's German Syrup,
which was always literally used in
connection, with the home treatment
of colds and is still in greater house
hold avo b a any known remedy.
But even without the application of
the old-fashioned aids German Syrup
will cure a severe cold IT, quick time.
It will cure colds in children or grown

A special dispatch to The News and

Mr.. w. G.. Bragaw. Of New York, who
has been spending the holidays at Fair
view Lodge, his palatial home lea here,
had a little excitement in the way of a
deer chase or Monday, the deer being
taken from his private park for the
purpose. The deer were toe tame, how
ever, as one would not run at all. and
the other was caught after a chase Of
a mile and a half.
That was most as bad as catching a
mangey old bear and tying it to a tree
for Mr.. Roosevelt to shoot, during his
But it will be remembered that the
president declined to shoot the animal.

THE GOVERNORS PRIVATE
ETA

The Winston Sentinel says edito-
rally:
eff the rumor that la gone out is
true, General James D. Glenn, Of
Greensboro will be the new governors
private secretary. General Glenn Is a
high-minded, gallant courteous n
brave soldier n nan n will make
a magnificent secretary, as well as mill
ftary aid to his distinguished brothec.
The position of private secretary being
strictly Of a personal nature it was ex-
pected that Governor Glenn would Sc
lect a man very close to him, and no
criticism will Of course be made, as
might probably follow the appointment
of a brother to a more public position.
Governor Fowle elected his nephew,
and many governors in the past have
chosen kinsmen for this position Gen
eral Glenn being such a splendid man,
his selection could hardly have been
bettered."
If the governor sees fit to appoint his
brother to the position of private sec
rotary, which means confidential adj
wiser and personal aid in the conduct
of the affairs Of the office we do no
see that he should be criticised. AL
though the state pays the salary of this
officer his office Is not at all a public
one. He is the personal friend and in
innate associate Of the governor. AS
The Sentinel says, Governor Fowle ap-
pointed his nephew to this position. If
we are not mistaken Governor Vance
after his Inauguration in 1877 appointed
one Of his o. as his private secretary.
No one at the time raised any objec-
tons to these appointments. The peo-
pie, even the political enemies Of The
governors, recognized the confidential
relations existing between the COVER
nors and their private secretaries and
conceded to each one the right to fill
that place with their closest friends or
relations. If Governor Glenn wants his
brother. of whose ability, discretion
and loyalty he is the best judge, to oc-
cupy UGH confidential relation to him
in the discharge OF his various duties
as governor he has the right to give
him the appointment and no one
should have a word of criticism for his
action. It is perfectly natural that the
governor should want to have his
brother in this position and he should
be allowed to do so without having
the charge of nepotism flung at him
There is no suspicion even of nepotisrn
in this case 1t Is a right which the
governor has and a courtesy which all
men of every party should be willing
to extend him.

SHORTER HOURS FOR RAILWAY
EMPLOYEES.

Governor Aycock in his message to-
h legislature goes far in his views.
regarding statutory regulation of the
number of hours employees should be
required to work. In regard to legisla-
ton regulating the hours of labor of
railway employees he said:
If the public were not directly inter-
ested ia the matter it would still be a
subject worthy of consideration wheth-
er any citizen should be permitted, even
under contract, to work for so great a.
length of time without rest as to i'm.
pair his physical and mental powers
but where the life of people travelling
is involved there can be no doubt of
the right and duty of the legislature
to pass such laws as shall render less
frequent railroad accidents by restrict
ing the number of hours Of continuous
service which can be given by the en-
pioyes Of the railroads. A law of this
sort will work no hardship upon any,
body. On the contrary by securing bet
ter service, accidents will be lessened,
human life will be protected and the
destruction of property prevented.
The first part of the above quoted
paragraph goes further in the line of
p~atsrnalisfn than any declaration we
have yet seen from q state or federal
official. We cannot say that we are pre-
pared 10 endorse that declaration of our
governor. But surely. when it comes to
regulating the hours of labor of en-;
pioyes OF railways in whose efficiency
and ability TO perform their duty the.

public Is so much interested, and on
whose fidelity in the performance of
those duties so many lives and SO
much property depend it is incumbent
on the law making branches Of the state
and federal governments to protect the
public against the dangers which una
voidably follow over-working of the
employees Of these corporations which
are operated for public convenience.
There can be no doubt that the fire.
quency of railway accidents Of late has
been due to the strain to which the en-
ployes of the railroads have been SUBJ
jected by the long periods of service
without intermission hat have been
imposed upon them. The railways,
either because they have not enough
train hands or because they find it
cheaper to double up train crews and
others responsible for the running Of the
when through continuous service they
are physically Incompetent to do their
work properly. Let the legislatures
and the congress prohibit this practice
on the part of the railways and travel
will become much safer and the rail-
ways will have fewer damage suits
against them for killing and injuring
passengers and employees.

ROOSEVELT AND SOUTHERN
REPUBLICANS.

If Mr.. Roosevelt can continue during
his four years of office to keep all the
republican factions in the south as well
filling of offices IN this section he will
prove himself a wonderful man and re-
markable politician. In nearly every
southern state there are factions Of the
republican party which are pulling
against each other in the matter Of
control of federal patronage.
Delegations from these factions are
constantly visiting the White house for
the purpose Of laying before the presi-|
dent their claims of control of recon-
mendation of persons for appointment.
These factions fight each other at home.
There is constant war among them over
the spoils, but whenever they go to
washington to learn from headquarters
how their side is getting on in the pie
counter contest they leave the White
house smiling and perfectly satisfied
with what the president has said to
them about this phase of politics so
lear to the heart of every southern re-
publican politician.
In the mean time the president seems
to be pursuing the v tenor Of his
way" filing the most important posi-
tons in this section without regard to
the recommendations Of either faction,
relying upon the advice of such of his
personal friends who are posted on the
local fights for office and acquainted
with the various applicants. In several
instances such appointments have been
as great a surprise to the one faction
as to the other and have been of men
advocated by neither. There have pe9n
several notable instances Of this kind
of late. Still the fractional leaders con
tinue to aun the White house, always
coming away with that stereotyped
smile denoting perfect satisfaction and
assurance Of victory.
Even individual members of the party
who belong to no faction go to the
White house to protest against the
control in their state of federal patron
age by this Or that clique leader come
away satisfied that they have success

Mr.. Roosevelt has the happy faculty
of making all such visitors content with
the apparent results of their visits
The question is: Can he keep this UP
for four years? Wont the self-appoint-
ed leaders of the republican party at
the out begin to find him out after a
while? If they 10 what then? Wont
Mr.. Roosevelt's popularity with the
party at the south wane rapidly? And
wont continuance 20 make such ap-
pointments as he has so far, with n Or
wont continuance to make such ap-
gree with the democrats? The demo-
Gratis of the south can but commend
such appointments as Judge Jones and
District Attorney Roulhac, of Alaba-
ma; Postmaster Harris, of Baltimore,
and United states Marshal Stuart, of
Virginia. The Crum and the Miunic
Cox appointments, of course do not
suit southern democrats. Neither did
that of Dancy, of Wilmington, nor Of
Douglass in the District of Columbia,
but they made no great fuss over the
appointment Of the one by a republica an
or the other by a democratic president
