WAITING FOR clNNERs REPORT
Figures to be Given Out Today Are
important.

The slight advance in the price of
cotton yesterday evidenced the end of
the present slump and augurs well for
the government report to be issued at
noon today. This report will show the
total number Of bales ginned to the
first of this month, and Americas ware
housemen and buyers rather anticipate
an advancing market as a result The
cotton crop as a whole is picket out,
and the ginners report today is going
to point very nearly to the grand total
of bales. Here in Sumter county the
crop is entirely gathered, a condition
probably never known before at this
early date. On many of the largest
plantations here operating from twenty
to thirty plows, not lock of cotton re-
mains in the fields to be gathered.

LAMAR STREET NEXT IN PAVING
North Side Is Shortly to Receive
Attention.

The fact that the north side of Lamar
street, between Jackson street and
Cotton avenue, is to have a new pave
ment and be otherwise improved is a
subject of congratulation. The pave
ment there at present is about the
toughest in the business district, and a
smooth walk is greatly desired. The
work of improvement will be started
the first of January, and some of the
old sheds there may come down as
we'll.

White Woman in Jail Attracts
Attention.

a white woman known as Sallie
Royal, and a poor dissolute character,
was in the county jail, and efforts were
made to the end of sending her to a
reformatory. Ministers and others
here kindly disposed have visited the
poor creature in her cell and are doing
all they can in her behalf. She came
here recently from one of the larger
cities and is about the hardest PROPOSE
ton, the police say, they have yet
tackled. She was anxious to go to some
house of refuge, and was yesterday.

MR. LEWIS BILL IN THE HOUSE
important Measure Passed by Hon.
e. 3. Lewis.

Congressman f. B. Lewis, of the
Third Georgia district, succeeded in
having passed in the house his bill per-
hitting national banks to make loans
on farm lands as security. The bill
was adopted by vote of Ill to 81.
The bill is the first general measure
of Importance passed at the current
session. The consideration occupied a
good portion of the time of the house,
and the debate was participated in by
prominent representatives.
Much interest was manifested, and it
developed that the southern and western
representatives favored the measure,
while the larger cities and the big
financial centers opposed it.
The bill proposes to allow national
banks to loan money ON farm lands to
the extent of one-half of the market
value.
The time limit on such loans is II
months. Not more than Is per cent of
the bank S capital can be invested, and
applications for loans must be approved
in writing by a majority of the banks
directors.
The bill was introduced last Deem
Der, and reported by the committee last
March. Mr.. Lewis expresses his conf
dent belief that it will be adopted by
the senate. He was warmly congratu-
lated on his success.

An automobiles from another state,
held up on a New Jersey road with
the prospect of being subjected to
great inconvenience and the expense

of the peace to escape trouble.
A few experiences of that character
would give New Jersey an u%nenviable
name. The reputation of the office of
justice of the peace in this state has
become so m~alodorous that the state

The EVENING NEWS has several
times mentioned that Governor
Stokes administration would be
greatly strengthened if he had for at
torney general a man not so closely
allied with all the corporation inter
ests of the state. Another reason
why the people would be justified in
asking Mr.. McCarter to step IL of
the Office he 0 occupies is found
in the following from an editorial in
the Newark Evening News on the
Close Francis fight for sheriff of Mon
mouth county:
1t is remarkable that there has
been such a change in the legal opin-
ions of Francis counsel in the past
few days as to the proper course of
procedure in the contest. A week ago
they were confident that only an act
of the legislature could keep their
client in office, but after they discov-
cred that such an act could not be
made effective to accomplish their de-
signs, they suddenly made the discov-
cry that the laws on statute books at
present were sufficient for the pur-
pose. In this change Of view they
seem TO be supported by the opinion
of Attorney General McCarter, but
then it is to be remembered that Mr..
McCarter was recently retained as
counsel for Francis, but was prevent
ed from appearing in court on behalf
Of his client by the criticisms that
were leyeled at him. Governor
Stokes win doubtless take this fact
into consideration in seeking advice
the matter,

AzHW HE power of the railroads is too great to be longer permit
A ted 70 be exercised without greater restraint IN THE IN
"a IEREST OF THE PUBLIC. Directors do not always
direct, officials arc not always competent, power long cxer-
cised makes men offensive, autocratic and arbitrary, and
stockholders, employees and the public suffer and pay the bill.
An absolute, autocratic form of government, with the right man
at the head, is said to be the best, and this may we'll be true, but the
trouble is THE RIGHT MAN is SO SELDOM AT THE
HEAD and the wrong man is so frequently in evidence VIC cannot
afford to run the risk on account of the average.
SO with our transportation interests. They are so vast, their power
for good or evil lis so tremendous and the public has SO great an interest
it should never permit such power to rest in the hands of any SET OF
MEN except under carefully guarded restraints a to the exercise of
that power and with the greatest possible publicity of all that is done.
Any legislation along lines that will accomplish the practical olmi
nation of preferences and determinations land the present laws have
nearly accomplished their purpose i'll these respecHl amendments to
existing laws requiring the frequent examination of books, records and
accounts, as in the case of national banks, WILL DO MORE GOOD
to the public than any such legislation as is now pending before the
United States senate.
1t will be infinitely more to the advantage of the country if those
in authority enforce the laws NOW IN EXISTENCE until their
inadcquacy is apparent rather than assumed and evidence their SINGER
ity by acts and deeds rather than by assertion of what they would do
if only granted more authority.
Under existing laws, amended to include car companies and other
carriers not now subject to the interstate commerce act AND WITH
POWER TO EXAMINE BOOKS AND ACCOUNTS and give
such measure of PUBLICITY to the operations of the carriers as
might be adjudged necessary, l would myself undertake to stamp ont
and hold in restraint the payment of all rebates and the practice of dis
elimination as completely and eAectualy as are murder and other
crimes against persons and property in all well organized, well disposed
and law abiding communities.
Moro than this is impossible, and such a bill as this is unnecessary
to eradicate the only evils of railroad management of which complaint
has been made or which are CLAIMED TO BE EXISTING and
would appear to be an attempt to obtain doubtful legal powers for an
Interior purpose not frankly disclosed,

The Neglect of Moral
Training In School

y W1LITAf1 y SHEAREK' 5chooT perIhenden EHzabeth' N j
IL must agree that the most important duty of home and
E school is the fixing of right principles OF CHARACTER
H. AND CONDUCT. Few will deny that moral training is
of greater Importance to the prosperity and happiness of the
individual, as we'll as TO the welfare and life of the nation, than is a
knowledge of the common branches. In spite of this fact, but little
attention is given either IN SCHOOL OR AT HOME to system.
attic instruction in this subject.
Acts involving moral questions are Of most frequent occurrence.
Facts learned may or may not be used. MORAL ACTS are per
formed almost every minute of the day. and there is scarcely an intel
ligent exercise which does not include a number of moral acts. This
is ESPECIALLY the case in schools.
Moral acts are not only the most frequent, but they are also the
most important. Other acts may determine reputation. MORAL
ACTS ESTABLISH CHARACTER Other acts may seem to aid
to success. Moral acts make CERTAIN the highest success.
Moral acts are not only the most frequent and most important,
but they arc also most difficult to insill.
If MORAL ACTIONS ARE MOST FREQUENT, MOST IMPORTANT
AND MOST DIFFICULTY, SURELY THERE is GOOD REASON FOR
DEMANDING THAT THE ELEMENTS OF MORALS BE TAUGHT
SYSTEMATICALLY TO EVERY CHILD, BOTH IN SCHOOL AND AT
HOME. .4r fs.va r.

DR.. Crowther was evidently work
ing in favor of Perth Amboy when he
voted alone in favor of the amend
ment to the bishops bill limiting sa-
looms to one for every 200 population.
If this amendment has been carried
it would have meant fewer saloons in
Perth Amboy, but would permit all
but four cities in the state to increase
their number. Dr.. Crowther, by his
vote, evidently believes in fewer sa-
looms here. He is right and the great
/ majority OF the people will stand by
fhim in this matter. Because the state
legislature failed TO provide for a de-
crease here, however, does MOI mean
shat the number must stay as ii is.
