vice will materialize. OF the routes
established in North Carolina the car
riers do not carry on an average
more than 1900 pieces of mail each
month, and department officials are
rapidly coming to the conclusion that
the correspondence Of Tar Heels is
less voluminous than that of the peo-
pie of any state in the United States.
The South Carolina carriers handle
an average of 2.40O pieces of mail
each month, while carriers of such
states as New York and Ohio handle
twice that number Of pieces.

AGAINST GAMBLING.-Mr Sanders
bill against gambling dens and blind
tigers to require magistrates and po-
lice officers to diligently proceed
against them under penalty was passed
to its third reading in the house yes
terday. The bill requires police officers
to make frequent diligent investiga-
tions and report to their mayor or in
tendalt once a week the presence of
any gambling place or blind tiger, to-
gether with the names of the persons
running the place, those doing the
gambling or buying. The mayor or in
tendent is then required to turn over
this report to the nearest magistrate,
who is required to issue warrants and
have arrests made. If either the po-
liceman. mayor or the magistrate fails
to do his duty he is guilty of a mis-
demeanor and is to be fined or impris-
Oned in the discretion of the court. The
bill is evidently directed at graft in
municipal police circles.
Mr.. Sanders bill relative to correct
ing errors IN judges charge was the
only other bill much discussed. and 1t
was killed.

THERE is a strong probability that
there will be some warlike develop
ments off the coast Of Venezuela this
week. 1t may be that they have al
ready commenced. President Castro Is
continually in hot water with some
body. If it is not the United States,
then it is Germany, Great Britain or
France. He knows that because Of the
generally accepted Interpretation Of the
Monroe doctrine, the United States is
have to make him behave and at the
same time, he knows that this govern
ment cannot afford to let any other
government give him such a trouncing
as we see it. For quite a while Cas-
tro has been at outs with the French
Cable company. Which is right and
which is wrong, it Is difficult to say.
But that seems to make little differ
ence. The French government took up
the cable companys end Of the mat
ter and after a few diplomatic pas
sages, Castro announced that things
were just so; that they had to be so
and that was the end of 1t. About the
time tho situation became most tense,
the French charge de affairs left Ca
racas to go to the French ,warship
Martinique in the harbor after dis
patches from his government. Castro
refused to allow him to come back to
Caracas, and although 1t was not exact
ly an act of war 1t was so nearly such
an act that there was nothing left for
France but to resort to other meas
ures. Because of the Monroe doctrine,
France did not care to declare war.
Such a step without a previous under
standing with the United States would
be quite serious in its consequences.
But now comes a statement from
Washington to the effect that France
and the Washington government
have reached an understanding
and although there is no information
as to the exact nature of the step
France will now pursue, it is under
stood that she intends to give Vene-
zuela some kind of a drubbing. The
situation is very interesting and the re-
suit is being watched with a great deal
Of curiosity.

WE have a letter from Columbia
calling our attention to the fact that
the committee on claims has introduced
a bill providing that election notices
shall be printed in only one newspaper
in a county. and suggesting that we
write to our representatives and call
their attention to the alleged injustice
of the measure. 1t is urged that the
bill will force the election commission
ers in each county to select one paper
in county. or force two or more pa
perS to publish these notices for prac-
tically nothing, and as a reason why
all the papers should be paid for print
ing these notices it is argued that the
of the state do sufficient
service for which they receive no COM
to warrant an occasional
pick up from the state like this. lndi-
vidually THE ENQUIRER cares nothing
about this bill, whether the election no
tices are published in a single paper, or
in all the papers, but we do not think
this bill is exactly as it should be.
Some of the counties can be completely

Rumored Shooting Affair.

A report reached here Saturday Of
shooting scrape between two ne
groes on one Of the Thomson places
in Bullock's Creek township; but up
to this writing it has not been prac-
ticable to get reliable particulars. In
fact we have no information that
places the alleged story above the
dignitary of a rumor. What the re-
porter has gathered is to the effect
that there was bad blood between
two negroes, father and son, both
named John Adams, and after pre-
pairing themselves for each other with
pistols they began to shoot 1t out.
The story is that the younger John
Adams was killed, and the older was
mortally wounded. Sheriff Brown
and Coroner Louthian have heard
rumors of the affair; but neither have
any definite information.

ganic disease, his death being due prin-
cipally to a general break down Incl

tionally to those around him. The fu-
neral took place at Bullock's Creek on
Friday, the services being conducted by

Cleveland, May st has been prac-
tically settled that the dock managers
will not attempt to replace the striking
longshoremen with outside help until
President Keefe of the Longshora-
mems organization can complete his
investigation of the Mates union.
The vesselmen and dock managers
believe that if keefe ascertains the
real facts in the case he will call the
strike off as soon as conference can
be arranged. According to the vessel
owners Keefe, as we'll as the long
shoremen, has been deceived as to the
number of men in the Mates union.
There is said to be one significant
thing in the developments of the past
three days. Captain Bush, president
Ct the Lake Pilots Protective associa-
tion-the mates union-has not been
included in the conferences of the
strikers and has been practically ig-
norsd by President Keefe and the pres
idsnts of subordinate unions. @

When the public formerly read
about Aldrich being the boss of
the senate it never aroused much
excitement; he was accepted as
other bosses have been accepted;
Platt and Odell in New York,
Hannah nzOhio. But since the
public has come to realize that
Aldrich is Standard Oil, and that
Aldrich for boss means Rookie
Teller for boss, there has been a
unanimous cry going up for the
Rhode Island senator's dethrone-
ment. Aldrich has been able to
hold his power in the senate
largely through the liberal use of
Standard Oil money and in
1uence, and the time is ripe for
casting him down from leader
ship.

There Is More Coming of Garfield Re.
port on Oil Trust.
Washington, May 9.-Secretary Met
calf OF the department of commerce
and labor has informed the senate that
the full report of Commissioners Gar
field on the oil business will be laid
before the senate as soon as printed.
1t is understood that the most impor-
tant part of the report has not yet
been made public.
The first section of the report con-
victed the trust of demanding and re-
ceiving rebates, which is punishable
by fine under the Elkins act; the Sec
ond will charge that the Standard Oil
company has been guilty of conspiracy
in restraint of trade and commerce,
an offense which carries the penalty
of dissolution and fine and imprison-
ment.
1t is the purpose of the department
of justice to institute proceedings
against the trust and it's officials, both
on account of it's action in receiving
rebates and in conspiring to crush out
competition. -
This is the programme of the exec
utive branch of the government.

The celebrated DR.. Abernethy OF
London was firmly of the opinion that
disorders of the stomach were the most
prolific source of human ailments in
general. A recent medical writer says
"every feeling, emotion and affection
reports at the stomach Through the
system of nerves) and the stomach is
center of the body. y He
continues, $50 we may be said to live
by land he might we'll have said through
the stomach" He goes on to show that
the stomach is the vital center of the
body. He says vthe function of di-
gestion in its several stages is to pre-
pare the food in forms which are suita-
able to be added to the structure"
meaning the structure of our bodies.
He continues, "every physical action
from simple breathing, thinking and
circulating of the blood to the most
active bodily exertion wears out por-
tions Of the structure (of our bodies)
and they become dead and so require
to be taken. away speedily. Much of
the food which we take, and especially
when unwholesome or in excess, adds
