FRIDAY, JUNE %, 1907.

THOSE are very interesting letters
that Senator Latimer is writing from
abroad. In reading them one Is I'M
pressed with the idea that the writer
knows his business; that although he
might be a most excellent carpenter
he is certainly no blacksmith.

The First Buggies.
While in a reminiscent mood the
other day, Mr.. Zimri Carroll Of Clover
remarked that he remembered a time
when horses were as generally ano
badly frightened at buggies as they
now are at automobiles. In the early
forties only three or four members OF
Bethany congregation had buggies
and the vehicles were looked upon
with much curiosity. Rev. R. c. Grier
then pastor Of Bethany was one ol
the first owners of a carriage, and fol
long time it was an object OF as
much wonder as the automobile Is
now, probably more.
Stock With Black Bass.
Mr.. Harry Wylie wants the people
living along the big pond Of the Ca
tawba Power company to stock the
streams running through their lands
with black bass. He says he stocked
Allison creek a few years ago and al
though black bass are to be caught al
the mouth of the creek, there are very
few to be found in the pond or else
where. He thinks that If the people
will stock the streams running into the
pond it will be only few years until
bass are plentiful in all Of them. 1t
is no trouble to get plenty of young
fish for stocking purposes. Written
application to Congressman Finley Is
all that is necessary.
Common Pleas Jury Cases.
Heretofore, for quite a long while,
there has been no common pleas jury
business at the summer terms Of the
court for York county. The sessions
business has generally been light and
upon it's conclusion, the court has been
in the habit of adjourning. The law
did not provide for the consideration
OF common pleas jury cases. A bill
was gotten through the recent session
of the general assembly providing that
common pleas cases may be taken
up after the sessions business
has been disposed of. and as the ses-
sionS business promises to be light at
the approaching term. it is quite prob
able that some civil cases may be en-
tered into. 1t is worthy of note. how
ever that some witnesses have been
subpeOnaed to give their attendance on
Monday, the 18th Of July, and unless
court holds over on account of some
case commenced during the first week,
the probability is that 1t will have ad-
journed sine die before the 18th.

While we have no desire to question
the correctness Of any statement In
the foregoing, it now seems incumbent
upon us to go little further into the
subject. A few days ago the editor
of The Enquirer borrowed from Sena-
tor Brice a copy of the acts Of 1907
for the purpose of reproducing the act
in question, and at the same time took
occasion to ask the senator how this
act came to be passed. Senator Brice
said that the matter came up to him
from the board trustees of the York
VILE Graded school and. as he had
done on previous occasions with other
acts he had tried to get 1t through
Quite a number of lawyers in the SEN
ate had assured him that the proposed
act was unconstitutional; that 1t would
not pass the supreme court and ne
thought so himself; but at the same
time he fe't that 1t was his business
to get it through and he did so. In the
same conversation he stated also that
Mr.. Spencer had told him that he had
entered into the proceedings without
having had time to give the matter a
great deal of thought. Mr.. Spencer Is
generally understood to be friend OF
education, who would never object to
any kind of a school tax for personal
reasons, and under these circumstan-
ces it seemed to be a fair assumption
that the proceedings were at least
friendly. In using the expression oom-
planned of, there was no intention to
impute any lack Of good faith on the
part of anybody. But, whatever the
wisdom or unwisdom of increasing the
area of the school district and whatever
the justice OF injustice of bringing
in additional taxpayers without their
first being consulted, Senator Brice
agreed with the editor Of The Enquirer
that these voters thus brought IN
should be apprised Of their rights IN
the whole matter and that Is what The
Enquirer is seeking to do, AS to
whether they vote for or against the
levy Of the special tax Is a matter for
them to decide and of no special con-
Germ to The Enquirer. Also as to
whether the taxpayers brought in still
have a day in court, or whether they
have lost that right, they will have to
find out for themselves. There Is GER
tainly no question about the fact that
as the situation now stands, this act
is constitutional. However it may be
in the abstract, the supreme court has
made it so in the concrete, and until
the supreme court reverses itself there
can be no practical change.

Rev. DR.. Paul Whitehead, the best
known minister, perhaps, in Metho-
dist circles in Virginia, is reported as
seriously ill in hospital in Richmond
and hardly expected to recover, though
he may inger for sev,ral days. He
has been secretary of the Virginia
Conference for the stfifty years and
during that time has always occupied
a prominent place in the deliberations
of that body. He has achieved some
reputation too as writer and is the
author of "Recreations of a Presiding
Elder" At this time he is presiding
elder of the Norfolk district.

Final testimony in the two-cent'

before the State Corporation Commits
sion and the advices are, that the rail-
road peoplerealize that they are losers
in the fight and will make no argu-

have about decided, it is stated, see
ing the action generally taken in other
States. to abandon the fight and to
submit to the uniform two-cent. pas
senger rate fare.
The people of the State had the
right to claim the reduction. They
created the roads and should have
share of the profits in this way an'

A commission of lunacy has been
appointed by Justice Fitzgerald in the
Thaw case, which after thorough
examination of his mental condition
will report whether she is in such a
state of idiocy, imbecility, lunacy or
insanity as to be incapable of rightly
understanding his own condition, the
nature of the charges against him and
of conducting his defense in rational
manner" The trial will be suspended
if the commission decides that he is
insane; if otherwise the jury will de-
eide as to his state of mind when he
fired the fatal shot. The appointment
of a commission is victory for the
district attorney but what their con
clusion will be, no one can predict
He was proven both sane and insane
during his trial of ten weeks by per
sons as competent to decide the mat
ter as the commissioners are.

The current report that, the hotei-
teeners of Norfolk will make exhorol-
tant charges during the Exposition
neriod. is denied by the manager OF
tbe Monticello Hotel, who is also
chairman of the local committee when
has the matter of entertainment ana
nr;ces in hand. He says: LAS 'he
chairman of an executive comml1Iee
7 can assure the public that there Will
he no 'hold-ups' and no unusual rates
charged this year. There may DE a
slight advance, occasioned by the al
vance in everything else; but there
will be a rate strictly based on the
catering and other charges. we nave
no intention of robbing the visiting
n.blic and I think it is crying shame
that Norfolk and its hotels should Dc
mt in that light" The success OF the
Fxposition depends so much upon th'
nrices which will be charged visitors
the assurance which is thus given Il
gratifying, and it is to be hoped tina
he is right as to his view inthematter
The public though will hardly be Satis
fed with the mere statement glvel
ont bv him. If he is correct, it is du
the visitors and in the interest OF tn
Exposition that he get all the hotel
keepers and others who VIII 0pe
houses for public patronage to unit
with him in submitting schedule
rates to the public and to see tina
they are given as much publicity {
