During her five forced draft runs

Tidal corrections reduced the Mime

The mean number of revolutions de-
veloped by the Minnesota's engines
during the five runs was 1871 per

PRISONERS ASK FOR ADMITTANCE
If any one has done anything
aud want to come to the peniten-
tiary and can't get the sheriff of their
county to come with them it will be
alright to come alone and ask for ad.
mission to the State Prison.
In regard to certain prisoners who
have come to the penitentiary the
Raleigh correspondent Of the Daily
Industrial News says:
The 1906 style, it seems, is for
men sentenced to the penitentiary
to come to Raleigh unaccompanied
by an officer and voluntarily to enter
the prison gates. The sheriff puts in
his appearance a day later and gets a
receipt for the delivery Of bis
prisoner.
Dewey, the ex.bank cashier of
New Bern, established this prece-
dent last fall and it has since been
followed in at least three other cases.
The two other men convicted in Le-
noir county for killing fellow-man,
were not subjected to the humilia-
ton of having an officer accompany
them.
Yesterday evening Frail Durham,
white youth, sentenced to fourteen
years in prison for killing deputy
in Polk county, came here attended
by his brother, who was his bonds
man, and surrendered himself at the
prison gates. The sheriff has not ar
rived Yet.''

THE MAN WITH TIE IN UCk
RAKE"

The man with the muck rake"
az he is called, is the person who
sees nc good in the world, who cam
not distinguish the good from the
bad, but throws mud at every one
whose views do not coincide with his.
President Roosevelt some days
ago, at the laying Of the cornerstone
Of the new office building for the
members Of Congress, paid his re-
spects in strong language to the
"muck rakersn who have become so
numerous among the newspaper and
magazine writer's. He approved of
exposing evil. doors and melting out
proper punishment to them, but he
condemned the efforts Of some wri-
tiers to put the good and bad in the
same class and call them all evil
doors and thieves.
This class of writers are simply
sensatiOn-mOngers, they are writing
for a living, and they think the
more people they can vilify the more
popular will be their articles.
The American Magazine for May
contains an excellent article con-
demning such writers. 1t says: ga
country which is governed by pub
lie opinion is governed by the men
who spread it." And again it says
"No Misunderstanding legislator, nc
insurance rascal stealing the money
that belongs to widows and orphans,
does his country more real injury
than the editor who loses all sense
of responsibility"
We are sorry to say that we have
a few such editors in this State
They can see no good in any move
ment or in any person who does not
take counsel with them. Such pa
pers are a curse instead of blessing,
they tear down instead Of build.
ing up.
We believe in Furnishing evil
doors and think they should be
shown no quarters, but it is not just
to call all public and business men
sWindlers and thieves because some
few have not been faithful to their
trust.

HAS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
