n FOOLS EHRAND."

North Carolina cotton mill men who
came in response to q hurry-up sum
mons to prevent the passage Of an
antitrust law that would "destroy the
cotton mill industry in North Caro-
lima have returned home with q
dreary feeling at their hearts of Gues-
ton as to the cause of their coming.
They came in haste and anger; they
returned wondering how it happened
that they could have been so easily
sold.
Cotton mill men as a rule are a
business brand. They do industrial
work on q lose margin of profit. They
are accustomed to look business con-
ditions in the face and estimate cost
of production and return of profit.
Occasionally conditions and the mar
kets combine TO make their opera
tons SaVor of those of a man VINO
strikes a sure enough lead of gold in
q new mining camn. Again the clos
est calculations turn OUT to have been
mistaken ones. The tickle Goddess Of
Cotton makes the conservative man
who follows her course a citizen who
is inclined TO be afraid.
Therefore When the went
out from Raleigh that the cotton mills
were to be destroyed, the cotton man
ufacturers came in fear and trem-
bling. They were ready to believe any
thing of a radical legislature. With
out knowing exactly why. they felt
that the issue had been drawn. They
came to fight it. \ trust bill was 70
the fore. Its Qualifications included
the cotton mills. The cotton m!rl
meIl-secure in the conviction that
competition was at the bottom of all
their woes-hurried to the capital to
view with alarm and to ..proest IN
the behalf Of Industry and COM
merce.'
1t is. therefore, significant that tha
cotton mill men have returned with
out firing a gun. Where they had ex-
pected enemies they found friends.
Where they had looked for desperate
conflict they found cooperation and
q spirit of friendship. They examined
the speeches they were going to make
and threw them into the waste-bas-
ket. AS one of them remarked as he
boarded the train for home 1--WE have
come IN a fools errand. Now, we are
going back
h cotton mill men are wiser than
they We're. SO ought to be other men
who have watched the trend of the
campaign which caused them to foch
to the capital at a false alarm.
h reason OF the coming of the
cotton-min men was the fact that
there had been introduced a bill
which woul destroy the American
Tobacco Company's operations in the
state. Incidentally, the Southern
Railway found its interest excited in
the same legislation. They could 0
afford TO make cutlery. AS a pretext

THE OBLIGATION TO DRINK.

The murderer Hodges, hung IN
Durham for the brutal slaughter of
his wife. was a Y p of man whom
only fortuitous circumstance could
have brought into the criminal class.
According to his own statement the
circumstance was whiskey. He was
one of those who, trafficinS in their
souls, first went to protest and then
into bankruptcy. Hodges was fore
closed. The law gripped him. He
was sold out. The evil in which he
dealt led to the final insolvency of his
life.
Hodges was the first man ever hung
in Durham county. He was not, by
many wrecked lives. the first man
whom liquor has ruined in the same
community. The sermon which lies
in Hodges fate is the cumulative SER
mon. To him it was very life and
death itself. To others it was IN Oft
told tale. Surely il is q pity that the
lesson cannot sink into the hearts Of
those who read the story as it sank
into the penitent O OF Hodges, ex-
plating his crime upon the gallows.
If we are 10 lake Hodges statement.
made when he was sober, in the very
view of the last day of his life, We
must believe that it was liquor that
did it." When liquor was taken
away from him he became, in Jail and
under condemnation, What he might
nave been had liquor not captured
him before. There is a terrible pathos
about the predestination of the law.
Yet that is only the predestination Of
life. Had ne lived without having
become a murderer, Hodges might
have drifted on until he died I'M
when. in the crisis of life and DEATH,
the ma under the habit came to the
surface hat the real mar was seen.
There was seen the pity of drink. In
Hodges, repentant, sober. appealing in
the Light Of his great mischance, the
tragedy of liquor found its a~potheosis.
Here was one of the wanton muir
ders of appetite. The community
had done all that it could for Hodges.
IT had taken from his path the open
temptation TO buy liquor and 10 drink
1t. Hodges insisted on his liquor;
found il. as a man -ill find it when
the craving is upon him: found. also.
the length to which it Will make him
go and, looking back, found only liquor
TO b!ame-and, looking back of liquor.
found only himself TO blame. Some
times the law recognizes liquor as a
c2mfnedity; neve: as an excuse.
Liquor and the man are SYNONYMOUS
terms IN result. no matter how much
the one may change the other.
The case of Hodges, extreme as If is.
