WILMINGTON, n. C..
TUESDAY. DECEMBER 4, 1906.
THE LATE SAMUEL SPENCER.

At 2 O'Clock this afternoon the whole
machinery of the Southern railroad
will be stopped for five minutes as a
mark Of respect to the memory of the
4ate president of that system whose
funeral will be held at that hour. This
is as it should be. Mr.. Spencer vas a
great man in his sphere. He had work.
ed his way up to president of a great
system from a very subordinate place,
and in all his grades of promotion he
had an eye single to the advancement
Of the interests Of that section of the
country which he called home-the
southland. The whole south should
pause in it's business career and for a
few moments devote it's attention to the
memory OF this man who, though the
president of a great railway system,
had not forgotten hat he was one of
the sons of the south, and it was his
delight to throw aside his business
cares and responsibilities and come
among his people in a social recrea-
ton and pleasure seeking way. He
was a true southerner and he will be
missed by the people of this section.

A DESERVING PENSIONER.

Mrs. Amanda Milton, an old lady liv-
ing in the Pee Dee section of Arson
county has just received a check from
the government for $1,359 in payment
of back pensions and she has been
notified that she will, SO long as she
lives, be paid the sum of eight dollars
per month. Mrs. Milton is the widow
of a soldier of the Indian wars. His
widow did not know until a short while
g that she was entitled to a pension.
That accounts for the large amount of
arrearage paid to her ON the first pay
ment. This is one of the cases where
the widow is really entitled to the full
amount of her pension. 1t was no
speculation with her. She married the
man and had been his widow for a long
time before she knew she was entitled
to q pension from the government.
Such widows are deserving of what
aid they get from the government.

Congress meets tomorrow. The pres
ident will send in his message during

fore the next day so the papers Of the

almost every point of American poll

An exchange bemoans the fact that
it is not the things only that we have

is the most abused is now cheaper than
it was before the formation Of tie
In fact it is about the cheapest article
housekeepers have to buy; still the

It strikes us that during this mild,
pleasant fall weather would be a very
good time for the mayor to enforce the
city ordinances requiring cutters across
the sidewalks to be put under the paw
ing and the n directing that property
owners shall put down good sidewalks
in front of their property. The time
will soon come when the property own
ers will be prevented by bad weather
from doing either. If this work is not
done shortly the present administration
will go out of Office leaving these two
ordinances a dead letter on the city
statute books. Why the mayor and
chief of police have not enforced these
two ordinances is a mystery 30 the
people Of the city. There is no excuse
for their neglect of their duty IN this
matter. They have sTnly ignored the
law and can give no valid excuse for
50 doing.

MIR. Root says Mr.. Taft is a big
man. That is 50. He might be called
the Grover Cleveland Of the rep lbliCan
party."-Norfolk Landmark. Wrong.
There is no Grover Cleveland in the
reruhli, an party-no nan half ST. rig.
Raleigh Times.
We heartily endorse the above senti-
ments of the Raleigh Times. There is
no such mar in the republican party as
Mr.. Cleveland. There is no other such
man in the democratic party. We can't
help still regretting that the democrats
did not nominate him for president in
1904. We still cling to the belief that
had he been the nominee of the party
he would have been elected or would
have received a much larger electoral
vote than did Judge Parker. While
Mr.. Cleveland has a great many enc
mics in the political field he has more
warm and ardent supporters than II
man who has been before the public in
years. We believe he in an electoral
contest with w. ]. Bryan would run
far ahead of that man. Mr.. Cleveland's
enemies are loud in their abuse Of him,
but his friends have little to say, and
in the case of an election their numbers
would surprise the country.

ANOTHER ATTACK ON THE LAW.
The Act Under Which 1t Is Proposed
to Have Dispensary Election.


Anything that bears upon the re-
cent act of the legislature permitting
elections to be held in dispensary
counties is of interest just now to
readers of The News, as it is pro-
posed to have an election under it
in Terrell county.
The News noted recently that an
attack had been made on the law by
the dispensaryites of Early county,
and an appeal taken to the supreme
court on an adverse decision rendered
by Judge Sheffield Now, the constitu-
tionality of the law has been at
tackled in Pike county, and an APP
peal taken to the supreme court. A
petition asking for an election in
Pike was presented to the ordinary
of that county, and the advocates
of the dispensary at GAINESVILLE
are seeking to have the ordinary en-
Joined from calling it.
Hon. Joe Hall of Macon repre-
sents the dispensary people, and will
make a strong fight on the law.
