The Smithfield Herald says that
Mrs Fannie Holland, an insane per-
son about forty years old, died in
Jail there on Thursday night. "She
was an inmate of the county home
for awhile" says the Herald, "but
became unmanageable and had to be
put in jail because there was no room
for her in the asylum
This is indeed a disgraceful showing
for the great state ofNorth Carolina.
"No room in the asylum" and
why? Because too many Of the leg

trine propounded by a demagouge
preached from the text, "pay as you

having power and influence suffi-
cient to sway men, but there is no
glory when it means deprivation to
the INDECENT insane of the state. But
what does the newspaper hypOcrite
care for the pauper lunatics so long as
he can control? Fortunately however,
the people are no longer deceived;
they are no longer Influenced by the
same factor which has sought to
dominate in all things. High-sound.
ing proclamations from the state
capitol and orders to sheriffs cannot
provide the ordinary comforts for
those dependent upon US, and the
only way by which North Carolina
can care for its unhappy charges is
in a bond issue. 1t is better to have
homes for the lunatics than pro
hibition or anything else.

The Queen OF Spain.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
The settlements made upon the
queen OF Spain by King Alfonso
amount to ninety thousand dollars
a year during the life of the king and
fifty thousand annually should she
become q widow. This is enough to
keep her in pocket change. She has
great expectations though. 1t is un-
derstood that Empress Eugene, wild
ow OF Napoleon III will leave her the
greater part OF her property. The
empress is immensely wealthy. The
Spanish queen is named after her and
has always been great favorite
with the empress, who have resided
at Chiselhurst in England ever since
her husband was dethroned. The
empress, being Spaniard, is no
doubt greatly pleased at herfavorite
becoming the queen OF her native
country and may, therefore, be ex'
pected to increase the portion of her
estate she has heretofore assigned to
her in her will. So, it is likely that the
green OF Spain will in time be one ol
the richest queens in Europe. She
has all to make her life happy. Hers
was a "love-match." A real attach
ment had sprung up between her and
the king some time ago. She viii
have great wealth and occupies apo
sition of prominence among the
royal families of Europe.
This is the fourth marriage which
has taken place between royal families
OF Great Britain and Spain. The first
was that of John of Gaunt, son o
Edward Ill, who married the daugb
ter of Peter the Cruel in the four
teenth century. Then came the un
fortunate marriages OF Henry VIII
to Catherine of Aragon and of Queer
Mary, her daughter, to King Philip
1t is to be hoped that the married
life of the present king and queen viii
be far different from that of the last
two royal couples mentioned.

Charlotte Observer.
We are just now seeing q report OF
the meeting in Washington a week ago
Of the Industrial and Educational
League of the South" of which ad-
vance notices appeared in the pa
pers. It's object, it is stated, is to
promote Industrial education among
the "poor whites" of the Southern
States, and the report to which we
refer, of the meeting on the night of
the 5th inst, represents that "Robert
II. Nc. Neill, of North Carolina, the
president of the League, vividly de-
scribed the illiterate conditions pre-
vailing thsoughout the State and
the whole Souterland, reinforcing
himself with alleged statistics going
to show the benighted condition Of
the Southern people, particularly
those of his own State. We do not
know how others feel about it, but
the Observer resents and protests
against this sort of advertising of
the State before outsiders, and es-
pecially SO by q native. Our pri-
mary objection to the Ogden move
ment is that it is to convince US OF
our ignorance and appeal in our be-
half to the sympathy OF maudlin
strangers; but this is more readily
to be forgiven of the manager of Mr..
John Wanamaker's New York de-
partment store than of one OF our
own folks.

The Justice of the Peace.
kinston Free Press.

Too much of the time of our courts
is taken up by trivial cases that
should have been settled in the mag
istrate's court. This important fact
has again been emphasized by cases
that have come up in our Superior
Court now in session.
The court OF the justice OF the
peace should be recognized as one Of
the most important in our scheme
of government We regret to say
that it is not regarded as highly as it
should be. The Legislature might with
profit enlarge it's powers in such a
way as to give it Jurisdiction over tri-
vial cases that are now sent up to the
Superior Court. A restriction of
power and responsibility will in
evitably lower the standard of any
person or institution, both in the
eyes of the public and in his own eyes.
Make the position of justice OF the
peace still more responsible than it is
at present, and then see to it that
none but the best men are called to
the Office. This would save the pub
lie great deal of expense, and would
indeed promote the cause of peace
and justice in each neighborhood.
The justice OF the peace comes in
close contact with the people. He
should be recognized as al impor-
tant officer and his office treated ac-
cordingly. Just now when these Of
ficers are being nominated for an
other term is the time to be careful
In the selection of men to fill the
positions.
People are apt to overlook this as
unimportant; but it is not unimpor-
tant, and strict attention to the re-
quirement of the case would show
the wisdom of that course.

Spartanburg, s. c., Journal.


Years ago in the early stages OF the
arc electric light, Thomas A. Edison
needed the mineral zircon for his ex
periments. He searched the world
and finally found it in sufficient guam
tity. just over the line in North Car
olina. Later on he sought monazite
in this country, SO as to be able to
get a domestic article and he found
it near the same locality. Now he is
at Lincolnton, investigating a bed
OF cobalt, which he says will simply
revolutionize TIE automobile busi-
ness. The fact is that beginning at
Spartanburg city and extending 70
miles north, there is the richest min
eral belt in America, if not in the
world. More different minerals hav-
ing a commercial value are to be
found here than in any other locality
ever discovered, and prospecting has
BEEN yery crude.

almost impossible to ascertain any
where near the approximate number
lost by falling masonry and after
wards cremated.
After seeing what has happened,
you stand on the sidewalk and ask
yourself how SO few, as reported,
were killed. The sight is too enor-
nous and depressing to believe that
only 500 passed away in the complete
wrecking of one of the principal cities
of the United States.
In different parts of the city are
visible notices about ''The New San
Francisco" about it's being built on
a much grander scale, and | sincerely
hope this may prove true. There is
no one more anxious to see this than
the army man, for it has been to him
what no other section of the country
has. 1t has been his home in every
sense of the word, one where he was
ever welcomed. Never will he forget
the goodness, kindness and hospital
ity shown him by it's people commenc-
ing with the Spanish-American War.
This hospitality never waned in
the least, on the contrary, | believe,
the more they saw of the soldier the
more they loved him and the more
attached to him they became. By
this terrible calamity a severe blow
has been struck to the heart of every
army man, both commissioned and
enlisted personnel. 1t is deemed very
fortunate that now, in her hour of
distress, this soldiery is there to aid
her authorities in bringing quitetude,
calmness and order out of chaos.
The soldier is there of course to obey
the order of his superior; this he does
on all occasions and in all localities,
but there is quiet delight and inward
pleasure connected with all of his
most arduous duties around and
about San Francisco. He feels that
he, in some small way, is doing some
thing to compensate the people who
have been so good to him; and l tell
you there is not soldier in the
United States army today who would
not give his life unhesitatingly for
the sake of the people of the Golden
Gate city. And there is not one who
is not doing all that he can to allev-
late the sufferings of the many thou
sands.
The condition of this city is a most
horrible one, and | hope that sew
eral years to come will bring about a
very material change, and just as
the city is about rising from it's ash
es will not be visited by such another
shock. Should this happen, it is my
belief that Pastern capital will seek
other places to invest itself. One
going there today, seeing and COM
ing away is wiser man. He will be
deeply impressed with the enormity
of the situation. And viewing the
city with all of it's attendant sorrow
full conditions causes the hardest OF
US to shed tears.
l am enclosing you copy of one Of
the first papers published in the city
on April 19, 1906, the day after the
quake. AS you will notice, this pa
per embodies reports of the condition
of the city by the three principal pa
pers of San Francisco-the Chronicle,
Call and Examiner.

Go After the Tax Dodgers.
Greensboro Industrial News.

The first of June is now less than
two weeks in the future and on the
first day of June begins the tax list
ing for the current year.
The fact that this matter of tax
listing is one of the most important
questions confronting the public
does not appear to appeal to the av-
erage citizen. But such is the case.
The tax values determine the reve-
nues of the cities and counties for the
next fiscal year, and yet these tax
values are fearfully and wonderfully
arrived at.
There is todayano other branch of
the government of North Carolina
that is conducted in as shiftless and
unjust a manner as the tax listing.
The assessors are in the main hon
est and conscientious, but they ap-
pear too often to regard their duties
as that of mere clerks who are to
simply let anything pass. They seem
to 60 upon the supposition that if
the tax lister is honest, all we'll and
good, and If he is not honest it is none
of their affair
We do not like to use harsh lam
guage, but the fact is notorious that
tax dodgers cover North Carolina
like the dew and that oftentimes pos
tive and unquestioned perjury is
committed by men who would indig-
nantly resent any imputation upon
their honesty.
If all the property that should pay
tax did pay tax, there is scarcely a
county in the State that could not
reduce its rate from one-third to one
half and still increase it's income.
Conditions are simply outrageous
and why the people submit to con-
tinuance of those conditions is more
than we can see.
Strictness on the part of tax listers
followed by a few indictments might
not entirely correct the evil but it
would at least put the would-be tax
dodger on his guard and make him
come a little nearer doing as he
should do.
The man who swears he has only
one thousand dollars in solvent
credits when he knows he has five
thousand, is simply defrauding the
public out of the amount of taxes he
should pay if he told the truth.
This is supposed to be a day of
public reform. Then why should
this important matter that is SO in
need of reform be passed over and
ignored?
