We can cheerfully subscribe to
the sentiment expressed recently
by President Woodrow Wilson Of
Princeton College, that the quickest
relief for the trust evils is a peni-
tentary sentence for those found
to be responsible for them. To
fine trust is simply thrusting the
burden back upon the public, for
the prime motive of the trusts is to
fleece the public.

We publish in this issue q COM
munication from MIR. S. g. Nip
per, county attorney, presenting
the attitude in which be claims the
county court stands on the propO-
sition of changing the court house
site. His points seem we'll taken,
but nevertheless open to some OBJ
lection. While we agree with Mr..
Nipper that the county court
should make all possible speed in
providing a new court house, it is
well to go Il little slow about put
ting the new binding upon the old
site, almost on top Of livery
stable. As for any change in the
plans and specifications change
of site would involve, we 90 not
consider that very material
ground for opposition. The plans
seem as adaptibIe to one site as to
the other. We note the contention
that the court house is to be built
for the county, and not solely for
the 'citizens of POtosi." This is
also admitted, but we believe that
Mr.. Nipper will agree with lis that
the sentiment of the county is
strongly in favor of a larger site
and allowing the "citizens of Poto-
si'' to provide it. 1t is not neces-
sary to enter into the identity of
these citizens as long as we know
they are responsible parties and
acting in good faith. IN the pur-
chase of the old site for $3.50 the
county treasury would be supplied
with the necessary funds to acquire
the site across the street, which
disposes of the argument that the
county has no money to buy any
site. 1t is also well to state that
this site can be obtained from
the present owners at the figures
named for court house site only.
The county court could proceed in
this transaction as it did in chang
ing the location of the county poor
house some years ago, when it sold
the old poor farm, bought another
piece of ground and built a new
poor house. Now as to the ques-
tioD Of title to the American Lead Il
Baryta Co. lot we will simplysay that
the Presbyterian church Of Potosi has
just bought piece OF ground from
this company and expects soon to be-
gin the erection OF an eight or ten
thousand dollar church building. The
negotiations IN this deal were carried
Oh o} an NY WIZ ~ Rioooc'J
Just as familiar with the legal com
plicati0ns surrounding the affairs OF
this company as Mr.. Nipper assumes
to be. 1t is not very likely under
these circumstances that the question
| OF title will seriously interfere with
the ownership of the new court house
| If it is built on the American Lead &
Baryta Co. lot. The proposal to re-
build the court house on the old site
and add to the grounds by purchase
in the future does not appeal to US as
the best plan to follow, for there is NO
telling what future conditions may
bring forth. While we shall continue
to hold that the site across the street
offers the best solution Of the prob
lem, we will ask our readers to give
Mr.. Nipper's presentation of the case
a careful study, and also give him
credit for the honesty Of the convic.
tions he has expressed.

viii Salisbury Go Dry?

The election at Asheville on
whiskey has set the whole State
talking, and especially is there
much interest in this central
part of the State, territory
tributary to Salisbury, In Lex
ington there is almost as much
interest IN the possibility of an
election in Salisbury as if the
matter was purely of local nature.
There is widespread belief that
the town would go dry If a vigor-
GUS campaign was waged. There
is evidence that such a campaign
will be started up very soon. It
is reported that one saloon man
has already sold out and quit.
Asked why he did, he said he had
sense enough to get off the track
when he heard O. steam engine
coming down the line.-Lexingtor

Another Instance Where the Poor are
Made TO Suffer.

It would no doubt make a good
impression on a visitor from the
moon to see a Lexington police
man beating the pine brush on a
hunt for niggers shooting craps,
but it would probably disgust the
visitor to know that while the
copper was hunting for niggers
playing for five cents a crap, $500
changed hands in a poker game in
the heart of town. In every town
in the state, in every court room
in the state, the colored brother
catches it hot and heavy from the
strong arm of the law. He is
yanked up if he gets drunk and
made to do time until it takes
about all he can make to pay for
his drunks. Some white men get
it the same way, but most of the
pale faces get nothing. Poor
white folks and negroes are given
large doses Of law and order every
where, but those higher up hardly
ever know what it is to answer for
their misdeeds. All Of which is
true as gospel and every man
knows it, We wish every judge
in the land would echo what one

because SO few white men in the

veloped the fact that seven-eights

are employed in the mail service

cants were negroes. The officials

are very cautious about comment.

STATE CAN'T AID IMMIGRANTS.
Payment Of Passage and Promise Of En-
ployment a Violation Of Law.

Those Southern States which
have been making efforts to secure
foreign immigration have received
a setback in an opinion rendered
by Attorney General Bonaparte.
The case in point has been pend
Ing before the Department of
Commerce and Labor since Aug
ust 9Th. On that date Geronimo
Gracia arrived at New Orleans
from Cuba. By the special board
of inquiry at the former place he
was denied admission to the
United States. The investigation
developed the facts that his pass
age money had been paid by
Reginald Dykers, an agent Of the
Louisiana State Board of agricul-
ture and immigration, out Of
funds regularly appropriated by
the State Legislature. He was
given assurance that employment
as farm laborer would be secured
fer him and he promised to return
to the State the money advanced
to him to pay his passage from
Havana to New Orleans. No en-
ployer was selected for him, but
he was left free to work for whom
he pleased.
The case was brought by the
State of Louisiana to test the inn
migration law. Several other
Southern States were interested in
the matter, because they had been
engaged in soliciting immigration
to points within their borders
The case was referred to the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor,
on appeal, and Secretary straus
submitted the facts to Attorney
General Bonaparte for an opinion.
The Attorney General has rem
dered an opinion in which he
says:
"The assurance given to Gracia
by the State agents constitute in
my opinion, promises of employ
ment within the Inhibition of the
statute. While !. is provided
that aliens coming % this country
in conseererc2 ~. - ys.,&-,cs
by State of its inducements to
immigration shall not be treated
as coming under promise of en-
ployfhent, there is no exception
in favor of State in reference to
specific promises of employment
to individual immigrants such as
were held out to Gracla by the
representatives. of the State
board"
The Attorney General holds,
therefore, that con account of as
surances of employment that were
given to Gracia as an inducement
to his immigration he should be
excluded from admission"
It is expected that the State of
Louisiana will carry the case into
the courts in order to obtain a
judicial determination of the
question which means much, in
the view of the authorities, to all
of the South.
