THE ministers committee re-
ported that the number of cases
in the police court had decreased
and expressed themselves well
pleased with condition in the city
under prohibition since it went
into effect here. Others opposed
to prohibition express themselves
as we'll pleased because they can
get whiskey when they want it.
Such being the case we see no
cause for any serious kick from
anyone else.

CONDITIONS reported from the
county home of an insufficient
guard for p 'isoners sent there is a
thing that should never be. What
is the use of sending prisoners to
the work house if it is so congen-
ial that if they do not leave it is
because they do not care to.
Carelessness in the handling Of
prisoners and lack of enough
guards has turned loose a num-
Der of dangerous characters, and
it seems from the number of des =
perate characters that obtain lib
erty from convicts camps, that
few people serve a sentence if
they have any inclination to leave.
In every case that goes into
court, there is, of course, room
for doubt created, and the friends
Of any man convictedI of crime
are expected to do what they can
10 have the sentence as light as
possible, but the signing of petit
ton has lost most of its value to
the accused from the fact that
the most notorious character can
get signatures to a paper,saying
that they are fairly decent kind
Of fellows. Men convicted Of
crime should have everyi chance
{, prove the true state Of affairs,
and If lot guilt should be turn.

THIS week is q special term of
Durham superior court for the
trial of criminal cases, the ma
jority of cases being for selling
for whiskey without license. The
number of convictions will be for
some other offense than selling
whiskey. which shows that it is
much easier to get an offender
bound over to court for selling
whiskey than to get conviction
in the superior court. Either the
lower court is doing wrong to put
these people to the inconvenience
Of giving bond or the superior
court is doing wrong to throw
out such cases.

THERE are those that will say
all manner of hard things if the
ether fellow has the advantage
in deal and pinchers those that
must trade with them, but if you
want to be squeezed, just let
the fellow that has been holler-

and see how you come out. There
is little difference in human ma

OF Edwin Booth Mr.. whitney re-
.ates the following anecdote: I'm fish
ing he would exhibit the impetuosity
Of a Petruchio. and this cost me sew
aral rods, which broke into smithereens
over small trout He got in one day
from a neighboring town a new, fairly
good bamboo Ey rod, which l assisted
him in setting up. arranging the reel
and line and pliable soaked leader, and
left him afterward noosing on a scar
let ibis. The rod was lying on the din
ing room table. l was no sooner out of
the rooms on the porch when l heard
tremendous rumpus in the dining
room and, entering, found Booth flying
about the room like a mailman. He
had left his fly hanging over the side
OF the table, which the half grown fam
lily cat present, seeing, struck at with
Its paw, which the sharp hook caught
III. and the frightened cat bolted under
the table with rapid speed, breaking
the rod tip and dragging the rod after.
while Booth. crying "Scat, catw had
no effect on the now crazed feline
which he was following after in great
excitement at high pressure with ad-
1ectives Of singular note. The sequel
of this was the escape of the cat with
the gaudy fly. well hooked in its foot,
and well srnashe up rod. I was too
much convulsed, with the others drawn
In by the commotion, to render any
aid, and Booth soon joined in with our
laughter, confessing that his fishing ex-
perlence was failure and that he
would not have any more of it."-For-
