A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins a child's disposi-
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weaS-
ness, and she is entirely unit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; It is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.

Judge Shaw.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
Judge Shaw does not put up with
any snch foolishness on the part
of grand jurors as getting drunk
while on duty. While holding court
in New Bern last week he sent two
grand jurors to Jail for five days
and fined them fifty dollars each for
this offense. He also fined defen-
dant one thousand dollars on con-
viction of illegally selling liquor.
Mr.. Shaw is one of the judges whom
violators OF the law dread. They
know they will be severely punished
if convicted before him. 1t is a pity
that his term of Office expires in Jan
uary. He has done much since he
has been on the bench to suppress
crime in this state. He is severe
some people think too severe-but
he is just and fearless and unprej-
udieed. Such are the kind OF judges
we need to convince the people that
those who violate the law will be
punished-to disabuse the public
mind of the idea that most OF our
criminal laws are a dead letter on
the statute books Wheh law break
ers come to realize that punishment
will surely follow violation OF the law
there will be less OF crime in the land.

Country Hotels.
The Commercial.

The Commercial.
Occasionally we hear complaints
OF poor hotel accommodation in the
smaller towns and in the larger ones,
too. When a new town is started in
this country, one of the first build
ings to be put up is hotel. 1t may
be crude at first, but it comes. There
is no more alert business in the west
than that OF bookkeeping. Now,
while the hotel is nearly always a
private concern, we are ofthe opinion
that it should be under the eye of the
town authorities in more respects
than its liquor license. 1t should re-
ceive more attention at the lodging
end. There is nothing drives q man
more quickly from one place to
another than poor accommodation,
if he be a transient, or one looking
into the prospects of the locality.
If you want business men and good
settlers to come into your town,
don't forget that an unpleasant lodg-
ing place may SO disgust them in one
day that they will take the next train
for some other place.
We claim, then, that every section
of the country should see to it that
there is at least one up-to-date hostel
~, where new cOmers and visitors
may be helped to form a good i'm
! preston Of the community.

Boys, don't loaf on the streets. If
you have anything to do, do it
promptly, then go home. Home is
the place for boys. About the street
corners and pool rooms they learn
to talk slang, and they learn to
swear, to smoke tobacco and to do
many other things which they ought
not to do.
Attend to your business and then
go home. If your business is play,
play and make a business OF it. We
like to see boys play good, earnest,
healthy games. If we were the town
council we would give the boys a
good, spacious playground. 1t
would have plenty OF green grass and
trees and fountains, and broad
spaces to rnn and jump and play
suitable games in. We would make
it pleasant, as lovely as it could be,
and we would give it to the boys to
play in, and when the game ended
we would tell them to go home.

Commenting on the m ovement to
secure foreign immigra tion for the
South by the establishment of di-
rect line of steamers between Eu-
ropean ports and Charleston, s. c.,
our Raleigh correspondent "Llew-
xam," says this:
A great deal of interest attaches to
the establishment of direct line OF
steamers between Charleston, S. c.,
and Europe which now appears to
be quite probable. The initial trip
of the first steamer from Bremen
the Wittekind of the North German
Lloyd line-will arrive at Charleston
the last of the present month OF Oc-
tober and with the cargo will come
over five hundred German immi-
grants who will seek work in this
country. When the ship goes back
it will have cargo composed large
ly of raw cotton, manufactured cot
ton goods and the manufactured pro-
ducts of cotton seed, etc. Ii the line
can depend upon full outgoing car
goes each trip it is said the Lloyds
will establish a regular line OF ships
between Charleston and Bremen.
The chief interest felt hereabouts
and through O large section of the
South is the possibility which may
thus be opened to secure for the va
rious lines of industry now suffering
from a lack OF laborers, a desirable
class OF laborers-for the cotton mills,
for the farms and for domestic work
especially and particularly, including
of couse, laborers OF both sexes. BY
landing these directly on Southern
soil, instead of at Castle Garden in
New York where they are diverted to
other sections largely through mis-
representation of the South, it is be-
feved that considerable per centage
at least of the newcomers can be ln-
duced to take employment in the
South.
It would be we'll for North Carolin-
ians interested in the matter to go
or to send representative to Charles
ton when this initial ship arrives and
at least see what manner OF folk the
class of immigrants that come from
across the sea via this route and line
are. l see it stated that several
States and cities to the South OF US
will be so represented.

The Prodigal Daughter.
Rev. r. H. Whitaker in News and Obsery

Rev. r. H. Whitaker in News and Observer
heard that woman who had led
a wayward life, joined one of our city
churches the other day. l hope she
will be held up and encouraged by
the membership of that church.
Much has been said and written
about the prodigal son-how the
father met and embraced him, even
in his rags, of how he was clad in the
best raiment, shoes put on his feet
and even q ring on his finger, and
how the fatted calf was killed and
the boy, who had spent a bad life,
was restored to the old-time home.
And We love to hear it and read it.
But, while we make a hurrah. over
the prodigal son, we should not over
look nor forget the prodigal daugh-
ter-the unfortunate creature whom
the prodigal son we are so ready to
forgive may have led astray; we
should not neglect to give erring
women a chance to reform. While
We make O hero of reformed man
we should at least, extend the
hand of friendship to the woman
who is trying to climb out OF the pit
into which she has fallen.
Many girl has wandered away
from home and fallen into bad ways;
buc becoming heart-sick has braved
a fathers wrath by coming home to
die. She was not met at the front
gate, as the father met the prodigai
son, but had to slip in at the back
door, instead of their neighbors being
called together to rejoice with the
parents of the returned prodigal
daughter, her coming was kept
secret and she was made to feel that,
while they pitied her, the parents did
not claim her any more as daugh-
ter.
A girl of this city some years ago,
wandered off into sin, but came back
home, after a short while. She was
a returning prodigal and, doubtless,
was very penitent and wished to get
back home and be as she had been
before sin had blighted her life.
Her father saw her coming and met
her at the gate, but, instead OF say
ing, "Come in my wayward, heart
crushed, foot-sore child, and find
rest and safety in your fathers
house, he drove her from him, and
told her never to show her face to
him again. Angels could not help
weeping over such a scene A child
driven off to die.
A few days after, the news was
flashed over the land that the poor
girl-tired OF life, had blown out her
brains in one of our North Carolina
towns.
"Rescue the perishing."
