TWO GOOD PRECEDENTS.

The courts made good records last
week in the matter of forcing railroads
and other corporations to understand
that they must obey the laws prohibit
ing certain practices hurtful to bus
mess or suffer serious consequences
The action of the jury in the indict-
ment gainst the Standard Oil CON-
pany in the Ohio court in finding the
defendant guilty was a surprise to
great many people-including the Off
GERS OF the defendant company, no
doubt. 1t is hoped that there are no
technicalities in the case which will
allow the company to escape the SEN
tence OF the court OF course the case
will be taken to the court of last re-
sort, which We suppose, will be the
supreme court of the United States,
in order that some loophole may be
found for escape from the results of
the finding of the jury. If this case
is finally deciled against the company

esta blish a precedent to be followed
by many other prosecutions for SINH
lar offences. 1t is this that the de-
fendant fears more than imposition
of fine in this particular case.
The other surprise was the heavy
fines imposed on the New York Central
for violating the law against granting
rebates. One hundred and eight thou
sand dollars is a pretty steep sum to
impose as a fine on any corporation,
no matter how wealthy it may be.
Judge Holt did not make it a dollar
too large, however, and railroads now
know what they are to expect when
caught violating this law if the other
courts of the land will follow the ex-
ample of those two and regard their
action as precedents.

WILMINGTON, N c.
Tuesday, October %, 1906.
ALL SHOULD WORK TOGETHER.

Below we give an extract from the
Goldsboro Headlight. 1t is as full Of
truth, common sense and sound advice
as "an egg is of meat" and We COM
mend it to the business men of Will
mington. Every man should work for
the general good of the community in
which he lives and not strive to build
up his business at the expense of his
for selfish purposes of the efforts Of
others to increase the business gener-
ally of the community Such conduct
will retard the efforts by the more
liberal minded business men Of in
creasing the business of all kinds.
Such is short-sighted as welb as self
ish conduct, for where men OF all
classes of business in town work to-
gether for the advancement of all the
fitted than where each man Or men
of different classes of trade work
solely for themselves, caring nothing
for the development and progress of
other lines of business. The Headlight
says:
No town will become a good busi-
ness center SO long Is its business men
rely on a few merchants to make
the effort to bring trade to town!
Too often the men in few lines
of trade are about the only ones that
reach out after custom. Other mer-
chants wait until these men induce
the people to come to town and con-
tent themselves with trade that natur-
ally drifts to their place. A public
spirited man should ask himself if he
is doing his part to attract people to
come to town to trade in helping the
entire business community, and no
town is a success unless all lines are
working to extend the trade as far as
possible and trying to bring a larger
territory in the circles in which the
town is the business center.

AFTER THE SHYLOCKS.

They are after the money sharks
in Greensboro The members of a
loan firm have been indicted in several
cases for charging most outrageous
interest on loans. In one case the
complainant testified that he had paid
$3.50 per month for several years on
a loan of twelve dollars and the full
amount of the principal was still
claimed by the lender to be due.
Nothing short of the penitentiary is
severe enough punishment for such
Shylocks; they would demand the
pound of flesh and claim the blood that
flowed for interest. The last legisla-
ture passed special act for Guilford

be Drawn.

At last the question for electric
power at Statesville is finally settled
and it is settled that Staesville S o
have the power. The contract will
be signed as soon as it can be pre-
pared
The board of aldermen met in spe-
cial session yesterday morning and
Mr.. w. S. Lee, Jr., vice president OF
the Southern Power &C.; Mr.. r. G..
Lucas, attorney for the company, and
Mr.. Albert Milmow, representing the
General Electric Co., all of Charlotte,
met with the board In a short time
an agreement had been reached and
the visitors returned to Charlotte on
the morning train. AS soon as the
contract can be drawn il will be sign
ed
The contract in brief is this: States
vile must contract for 1000 horse
power. Of this the town government
officially agrees to become RESPONSE
BILE for 500 horse power, for its own
use and to sublet to the smaller con-
sumers. The Statesville Cotton Mills
and the Statesville Flour Mills will
take about $50 each. The town will
erect the transformer station and the
larger consumers who buy direct from
the company will get their power
through this station, they to pay such
rate for this service as may be agreed
on between them and the town.
Hereafter larger consumers who
want as much as 100 horse power can
buy direct from the company and this
amount will be deducted from the
amount for which the town becomes
sponsor until the amount is brought
within the towns needs.
This gives us the pOwer-a thing
above all others to be desired just
nOw-and gives it to us in a very sat
isfactory shape. The town is not
made responsible for the whole
amount, as was proposed, but only
for an amount above its own needs
which Will give a surplus for smaller
consumers who could not buy direct
from the company, as the company
does not care to deal in amounts of
less than 100 horse power. The town
will have to have a transformer sta
ton for it's own use. and instead of
the town and the larger consumers
having separate transformer stations,
they will combine in one, which ought
to save expense all 'round-Statesville

STARTING FALSE RUMORS.

Major Austin, of Seneca, S. c., tel
egraphs the Charlotte Chronicle in
reference TO the report that the recent
fire in that town was the work of ne
groes in revenge for the blowing up"
of the negro college building there the
week before He says that instead OF
the building being blown up" the
damage done amounted to only six
dollars, and that the principal Of the
college. for whose agitation against
the whites the building was alleged to
have been dynamited by them, openly
charges that the damage done the
college was by members Of his Own
race.
This ought to settle the matter con-
clusively, and We are glad that this ex-
PLANTATION has been made. The may
ors telegram is the first denial we
have seen of the statement that white
people dynamited the building, and it
shows conclusively that no such out
rage as was reported had been COM
mitted by the whites against the ne
groes as the blowing up Of their col
lege.
W cannot see what pleasure any one
can derive from the starting of such
reports, knowing they are calculated to
work serious mischief

The argument is being used to in
duce New York democrats to vote
against Hearst that if he IS elected
governor he will defeat Bryan for the
nomination for president. That is a
very good argument to use at present
among the Bryan men; but if it does
the work and Hearst is defeated what
argument will the men now putting
this one up use with these same voters
TO induce them not to vote for Mr.
Bryan? In other words, they are
using Bryan to kill Hearst. If they
succeed how will they try to kill off
Bryan two years hence?

The Raleigh Times fears that the
fight which is being made against the
water company of that city will have
tendency to discourage capital seek
ing investment inindustrial inter-
prises for the up building of Raleigh.
Certainly no business men would put
their money into any kind of a cor
poration If they thought it would be
so vigorously attacked as has been
that company from some quarters.
The Raleigh water works may not be
all that the people desire, but are
those who are attempting to destroy
the company going to give the people

morning. A number of cars were be-

The Charlotte Chronicle takes the
same view as does The Messenger
about the lying in state of the remains
Of prominent persons in order that
they may be gazed at by the morbidly
curious. 1t says:
The decision reached that Mrs. JEFF
fersOn Davis body should not lie in
state is a pleasing one. We could not
understand the decision Of the friends
of Sam Jones to send his body to
Atlanta that the hundreds of morbid
ly curious might look at it. The ly-
ing in state is a custom that ought to
become obsolete. 1t was al first inten-
ded only for high rulers, or men
mighty in the affairs Of the govern
ment and was ever a doubtful way of
honoring the dead.
1t would have been horribly out of
taste and even revolving to many of
Mrs. Davis friends all over the coun-
try had her body been allowed to be
placed in public place in Richmond
and exposed to the inspection of the
hundreds who would have been at
tracted by the unusual incident.

DON'T Worry; Smile,

Centenarians give various reasons to
which they ascribe their longevity, but
it is significant that they all agree on
the advantage of plenty of work and
little worry in aiding length of life.
The advice lately given by a woman
over a hundred is worth considering,
as she advises one to eat when hungry
sleep when sleepy, with plenty of
sleep, to work constantly, keep cheer
full and avoid worry. This puts in a
few words the doctrine of the simple
life, and her conclusion is worthy of
an ancient sage when she says that if
these rules will not produce health and
long life there is bad blood in the
family and it had better die out
