Subscriber Thinks Next Legislature
Should Cut Down the Fees of Doc
tors, Lawyers, and the Profits OF
Merchants and Landlords.
EDITOR CAUCAsIAN:-No that
that the last legislature took au-
thority to cut down the passenger
rate on the railroads so that the rich
man and his wife can travel cheaper,
and that the rich mans sons and
daughters can ride to the colleges,
to college commencement, to the
mountains and to the seashore to
spend vacation, and ride cheaper.
Now let the good work go on. Let
the next legislature cut down the
rich mans rents that he is charging
the poor In the cities and towns.
They are getting rich too fast, they
are making too much money. Cut
down the lawyers fees; they, too,
are getting rich too fast. Gut down
the merchants profits; they are get
ting rich too fast. The doctors are
getting rich too fast; cut down their
charges. We might go on and give
you large number of classes of in
dividuals who are engaged in diff
ferent trades and occupations who
are charging too much. and who are
making too much money and who
are getting rich too fast, but will
leave this matter with the next leg
islature, believing they will adjust
all these matters.
In speaking about the reduction
of passenger rates, we would be glad
if your readers would read an edito-
rial in the Wilmington Messenger of
July 25. We most respectfully COM
mend that editorial to the public as
an able, conservative view of the
controversy now going On between
the State and Federal Courts.

Two Denuded Bv lirhtnino

An electric bolt yesterday after
noon played a remarkable prank al
the homes of J. W. Delp and Roy
Landers. 1t struck the chimney OF
the Landers home, and, descending
into the sitting room, shocked his
daughter, Elsie, tearing all the clothes
from her body and leaving her un-
conscious.
Numerous articles of furniture in
the room were demolished, and then
the bolt jumped to the home of
Delp. Delp's daughter was also de-
nuded and left unconscious.
After hitting several articles in
the room the bolt struck the chan.
delier and followed the gas pipe into
the earth.
A blue mark was left on each girl.
