PROGRESSIVE 'GREENVILLE.

Greenville is nothing if not pro-
gressive. Perhaps no town in the
State is showing a more progressive
spirit, and no people are more Coop
erative than the people of Greenville.
1t is pleasant to note the progress
that the town is showing. The
Reflector speaks hopefully, yea con-
fidently, of things there as follows:
"Greenville is now launching on
the flood tide of development, and
if our people continue to be conser-
vative and take advantage of the op-
portunities for progress as they pre-
sent themselves, the growth of the
town is going to be wonderful. Such
a spirit of cooperation between the
town and county as has existed the
past year counts for much. Pitt
couS]y has noble people, and the
inShx. they are taking in educa-
tiopal advancement and material
progress will rank her in the lead.
The county feels pride in her cap
ital town, and the town feels pride
in the county. We are all one and
the same people, and with a united
spirit and concerted effort nothing
can hold US back"

GOVERNOR GLENN TO THE JUDGES.

The railroad passenger rate con-
Vest is exciting more interest IN
North Carolina than any other pub
lie question. Governor Glenn has
addressed letter to each Superior
Court Judge in the State, instruct
ing them to charge grand juries to
present all railroad employees and
railroad authorities who charge
or demand more than 2 IA cents
per mile for passenger fare on roads
more than sixty miles long. The
law passed by the last Legislature
makes such act a misdemeaner, and
the law is being violated by the
Coast Line and Southern railroads.
Governor Glenn in his letter to the
Judges declares that it is his duty as
Governor of the State to see that all
criminal laws are enforced. Judge
Pritchard's injunctions as Judge OF
the United States District Court are
to be ignored by the Superior Court
Judges, and this looks like a clash
between the courts.
The people of the State will ap-
plaud Governor Glenn's action in
the matter, not with prejudice
against the railroads, but in their
appreciation of his endeavors to have
the laws enforced.
Most of the people Of the State
whatever their opinions about the
railroad rates, believe that Judge
Pritchard has made mistake.

There is good improvement in the
postal laws. Since July LIST it has
not been necessary to place an extra
ten cent stamp on a letter for special
delivery, it being only necessary to
write on the letter Especial Deliv-
cry" This is followed by the privil-
eye Of FASTING printed matter on a
postal card, and also the privilege of
writing on the side which bears the
address. The writing must be con-
fined to the left hand third Of the
card.

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.

The board of aldermen for the
city of Raleigh recently repealed the
ordinance against selling soft drinks
on Sunday. The ordinance was re-
pealed on the ground that there was
complaint that drug stores were al
lowed to sell soft drinks on Sunday
while others were not.
The News and Observer truthfully
said that the board of alderman took
a step backward in repeating the
ordinance. The board should have
forbidden drug stores from selling
the soft drinks on Sunday instead OF
opening the privilege to all.
Charlotte will soon decide sim
liar question, and the Charlotte New:
is fighting against the desecratior
of the Sabbath, making it question
whether the Sabbath shall be regard
ed as holy day or holiday.
We believe, like the News and Oh
server and the Charlotte News, t a
town and city ordinances should no
permit any traffic that is not a ne
cessity to be carried on through the
Sabbath; and in the matter of sof
drinks we believe that the same or
dinance should apply to drug store
that applies to other places.

periods of the klan's degeneracy into
the fierce neighborhood feuds which
disgraced the piedmont section Of
the South.
"The race problem is not discuss
