North Carolina Railroad was sol for

ports of that DAY showed) for S13.550

the last fragment of the states great

FiLLACTOUS ARGUMENT AGAINST
REFORNATORY

The Durham Herald thus does away
with n argument OF the opponents of
the STATE reformatory:
h only argument thus far brought
against the ~reformatory is it's cost and
1t could not cost an enormous amount
unless it was shown la there was a
need for 1t.
There Seems TO be an idea that the
reformatory will cost an immense
amount of money TO establish and that
its maintenance will be q grea, addi-
tional expense 70 the state. The per
pie who advance this idea forge, tina.
the cost Of keeping the renitentiary
and county jails and chaingangs for
young men and iAss who would be
sent to the refsrTnatory is now q
heavy burden On the tax payers and
that one argument Of the advocates of
the reformatoEy is that its pen
Will be less than what the state and
|! counties are now paying for the O n
victs' keep, Another argument of the
opponents of the reforma.ory is that If
is established the white criminals
and the negroes will be keep together.
We sssefd like to know If such is not
the custom in many of the presen,
county convict camps. Don't you see
white and negro convicts working side
b3 side? In Il reformatory there would
be opportunity for separating the two
races if there was only one such insti-
! tuition.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.

THE uext session of ahe Legislature
wit. be an important one. Many
measures OF great importance to the
state will tome before it. Among
these Will De the state reformatoTy,
provision for care Of fale indigee3 in
sane now confined in jails and county
homes and the establishment W Il
bureau OF immigration. All of these
are most important matters and
should have the most careful consic-
Grafton by our legislature. There will
be other matters Of Importance before
the legislature, but none which SHOULD
receive greater attention than these.
In each of these is involved the good
of the entire state No "subJects
which could come before that body
could Involve more interest of the
people, of the state.
1t is hard to say which DIG OF the
three as of the greatest Importance.
1t is imperative that the unfortunate
insane who are now confined in ja;ls
and county homes deprived OF neces-
sarv comforts and prevented from re-
ceiving proper medical attention
should be provided for in a man2e'
better suited ID their needs, which can
be done only by charging the capac-
ity of our state hospitals. The latter
are the only places suitable for the
treatment of these poor unfortunate
subjects Of our state. To provide for
this attention to their needs the asy-
lums must be greatly enlarged. THIS
can be done only by the issue OF
bonds to raise the funds for the neces-
sary work. The state constitution
says these insane persons shat! be
provided for by the state Their is
but one thing for the state to 90 1t
is a shame thai ii has not Iona that
long ago.
Then comes the matter of Il reform
atory for the criminal youths. This
is of little less importance than th2
care Of the INDECENT insane. Its pn'-
pose is to prevent the rearing by thc
state Of a class Of criminals little less
unfortunate than the insane now CON
fined in jails and county homes and
its results will be to prevent for the
future q great deal Of suffering EcW
experienced by the unfortunates N
these institutions and in our state
asylums. We believe that a properly
conducted reformatory would nor only
reduce the number of inmates OF the
penitentiary and county jails but
would also lessen the number OF un-
fortunates confined in our insane asy-
lums. The reformatory is not only
for. temporary amelioration of cond1-
tons of our youthful criminals. but
it looks to the future welfare OF
society-to the lettering Of the Oh
dition of the people and also to the
saving pecuniarily to the state in the
reduction of cost of prosecuting GRIM
inals and Of supporting them after
sentence.
Then there is the matter of a state
bureau OF immigration We hope the
legislature will consider this Of suf-
fcient Importance to give It careful
attention. It certainly deserves 1t.
Without some action Of the kind our
state will continue TO lose financially
10 yea because OF the scarcity Of
l.bor. LABOR IS becoming scarcer
each year. There is NO other way to
check the drain and replenish the
waste but by immigration and that
can be done eniy through a state bu-
reau with sonne Efficient man at IT'S
head who knows wt1at 10 do and has |

GENERAL NEWS GATHERED

The tides in the Potomac during the past
two weeks have been going to extremes,
and the winds are said to be to blame for
1t all. About a week ago the northeast

as to threaten to overflow the lower part of
the city and do damage. Since the middle
OF the week the northwest winds have
coused unusually low tides, and yesterday
at low water many of the docks were bare,
and all the river fats were exposed to the
winds. The difference in the height of the
tides during the northeast storm q week
ago and those Of yesterday was fully eight
feet. Now, that the the winds have Gained
the tides are expected to resume their ordi-
nary level. s'-.s

pared for her. but before she had had time
to enjoy 1t she fell to the floor. Life was
extinct In few minutes and the body was
removed to the morgue
1t was stated at the morgue this morning
that the woman had been called Elizabeth,
and before she was taken sick she stated
that she had a sister living near Rockville.

sary certificate was given. The body will

and he gave them their stiffest practice
