A Menace to Society.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
Ex-Governor Montague Of Virginia,
does not agree with the sentiments
expressed by Judge Harrison from
the bench in his congratulations to
the jury for having acquitted the
Strother brothers OF the charge OF
murder, in which he as IL judicial Of
fcer advocated the supplanting Of
the law by vengeance to individuals.
No matter how justifiable in the eyes
of men as individual! members Of So
ciety was the killing of Bywaters by
the two brothers, it surel y should
not have received the commentator
OF a Judge while acting in his capac-
ity of representative Of the law Of the
State of Virginia. Such declaration
from the bench as that made by the
presiding Judge was more revolving
and more calculated to increase VIC
lence and lynch law than was the I'M
punished crime of the two men on
trial. But we started out with the
sentiments of Ex-Governor Montague
on this subject. In an address at
Harvard university n few nights ago
in which he touched upon the subject
OF lynch law he said:
The barbaric malady will not be final
~ eradicated in America until the people
exercise a self-restraint born of cOnvic-
ton and not OF fear. In our system OF
government, above all others, there is no
place for private or personal vengeance.
| give it as my deliberate opinion,
shared by the bulk of the law abiding
people of the Southland, that there is
never any occasion where resort to lynch
law is justifable among civilized people.
Such practices snap the fundamental
principles of society and will eventuate
in government as Capricious and as re-
lentless as that of wild beasts
1t is easy to understand how much
safer society would be with the peo-
pie governed by the sentiments of
Mr.. Montague than by those express
ed from the bench by Judge Harri-
son. With the judges not only con-
doning, but giving their official ap-
prevail of lynch law all law and order
would soon be trOdden under foot by
lawlessness. If the people are to be
commended by the courts for usurp-
ing the powers and duties OF the lat
ter what is the use of having any
courts? Judge Harrison's utterance
was q menace to society.

The Trust Combine at Work.

Shelby Star
The crowd of railroad and trust lobby
lists, who have sought to discredt the
General Assembly since the gavel fell on
the first day and which was augmented
during the antitrust fight, is now en-
gagged in making up slate for the next
Democratic State ticket. They have Of
fered the governship to several gentle
men, hoping to induce several to bite at
their bait. No man fit to be governor
will accept their support and no man
who joins the combine can get within a
thousand miles of the office of governor
But the trust combine is working I'M
der ground and by devious methods and
thinks it can fool the folks as it fooled
the Senate-NeWs and Observer
Do tell! Our contemporary being
the acknowledged representative OF
the cause OF the people will of course
denounce just as vigorously the lit
tie cOterie of politicians known as
the fifth district combine. All com
bines look alike to us, and we shall
expect the News and Observer to
train its guns on the Fifth district
trust, and putt out of commission.
However, we are reminded that the
people still rule in good old North
Carolina and they are just as sure to
smash the "ffth district combine
slate as that of the trust combine. "

Pay Of the Preachers.
Their Salaries Too Low-Poor Pay
Makes Poor Preachers and a
Scarcity of Them.

Monroe Journal
Preachers are at premium in
Georgia remarks the Richmond
Tfmes-Dispatch. "In one city of
Georgia nine churches-four Baptist,
four Presbyterian and one Unita-
rian-are bidding for pastors, and in
the entire State no less than 200
| churches are in the same predica-
ment. This condition, more or less
| general all over the country. is not
so surprising when one considers the
| poor salaries given the religious
/ workers. The existence of the low
scale of salaries, however, in the face
OF the lively demand for ministers,
indicates a status strikinely anomia-
| lous. The economic principle of sup
| ply and demand, essentially reac-
| tive one, seems to be working only
one way. The low salary average
has decreased the number of the min
| listers, but the necessarily greater de-
mand has apparently failed to boost
the price
There is not "a tirst-class preacher
| in North Carolina whose salary is
half what he could make by the exer-
else OF his gifts i'll some other calling.
But he is human and he can't give
his best service when he knows that
he is not appreciated at his worth.
If congregations would even look at
it from the selfish standpoint that
poor pay makes poor preachers. it
would be better. A man who is
worth listening to is worth paying.
Confronting the church universal in
this country is the fact that fewer
young men of first-rate ability offer
themselves for the ministry year 10y
year. How much the matter of sal
airy has to do with the cause OF this
we are not able to say. But there
are yet many good men who feel that
they mustpreach regardless of salary.
1t is mean to take advantage OF
| these by cramping them on insufficient
salaries. A canvass of some one re-
Gently showed that in one section OF
| the country, OF fifty whose cases were
looked into, more than three-fourths
receiving salaries Insufficient to meet
their reasonable needs. Few salaries
have been increased anything like in
c correspondence with the increased cost
of living for the past few years, so
that preachers who now get what
they did five years ago nOminally
are getting little over half in reality
