GOV. Conner MEANS BUSINESS,
Declares That the l.. & n. Railroad is
Openly Defying the State,

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. I'll
his message to the special session
of the Legislature today Governo:
Conner insisted that the contro
and regulation of the railroads b,
the State is a question more i'm,
portant than making of rates OF
any other matter, in that it in.
wolves the question of right of the
State to control it's internal af,
fairs. The message goes on tc
say that President Smith, of the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad,
has held out against the Alabama
laws while others have put them
into effect; has deied the State
and its people by conducting a
lobby at the capitol, openly ad-
mitting that his company has in
huenced legislation in the past
has called the Governors of Ala.
bama and Georgia populistic; has
raised rates over night in defiance
of State alws, and has generally
refused to recognize the right of
the State to make laws applying
to transportation companies.
That the Alabama rate la VS. are
not confiscatory is evidenced, the
Governor says, by the fact that
they prevail in other nearby
States and provide profit. Finan-
clal troubles, he says, have not
grown oct Of laws made to control
corporations, but are due to the
rascallty of. the high fi~nanciers,
and producers of the cotton of the
South is now coming to save tho
country from panic.
The louisville & Nashville Rail
road is charged with manipulate
ing to prevent use of waterways.
to make rules for handling coal
and as to demarrage and freight
rates which are arbitrary, and
with generally seeking to control
the State to the detriment of the
people.

A Fishy Story.

Two young men, Jack Swink,
of Greensboro, and Tom Harris,
of Lexington, students of Church.
land, Davie county, High School,
according to the exington Dis
patch, lost $40 and S63 G~espective-
ly. by being bells up right in a
large crowd at the Yadkin Valley
Fair in Salisbury by the boldest
kind of highwaymen who drew
pistols and demanded their
money. 1t is not a desire of the
WATcHMAN to discount these gen.
tlemen's varacity, but the story
certainly sounds fishy. However,
we did hear of a boy, or boys,
being hold up IN a field near thu
fair grounds and being robbed,
but it cannot be verified. There
was no need for such crude meth
DDS. Every fellow who could get
a table and a cart wheel had moth
ing to fear by getting in the most
public place and making all the
noise about it the most pretensious
highwayman might desire, There
was absolutely no Que to modest
or make him afraid. Bat of
course he could not gamble by
himself. Suckers are his most
substantial retafners.. We sknou
of several who lost enough to pay
for their county paper the balance
of their lives and, yet in theil
little, narrow vision they whine
about the price of the paper and
short crops.

was the office of the Yadkin Val
ley Fair. There was a table, two
chairs and q box therein. Prac'
t1cally nothing was saved from
this floor. Mr.. Snider's loss
amounts to several hundred dol.
lars and he was without insur.
ance. Miss Rufiu lost her furni.
ture, bedding, clothing and many
othor articles, including $35 in
cash, which she %afterward found
in the ruins.
Next was Luther Hoffman's
meat market. Mr. Hoffman has
been in the butcher business for
only a year or SO and was just be-
ginning to get into good shape.
His market was we'll equipped and
an extra large stock Of meat had
just been killed and placed on
the hooks. His loss will,,probably
reach $1,000 and the insurance
amounts to $500.
Adjoining Hoffman's was the
Kesler Barber shop, which had
only recently began business here,
the furniture and fixtures of
which were valued at between
$500 and 5000. This was a COM
plete loss. No insurance. This
place had just been taken over by
Austin & Earnhsrdt, but no
money had passed.
Last, on West Inniss street, was
the grocery store of D M. Miller.
This was one of the best stocked
grocery stores in the city. The
goods were varied and of excellent
quality. The stock was valued at
between $4,000 and $1,000 and
Mr.. Miller carried insurance to
the amount Of $1,000. He sue
ceeded in saving some of the
goods, but in a more or less dam
aged condition.
Figuring the old shack at SIS, 900,
the total loss will reach about
$l6,O 900 or 5000, and, deduct
ing the insurance carried, 81,
the real loss will hardly reach
more than $40, 900.
The building was probably 100
years old. The first mention
among authentic records of its
existence is between 1915 and 1920
when it was known as the
house property. 1t was
originally a small building and
was occupied as a store, but was
afterward enlarged and became a
famous inn during the days of the
stage coaches. 1t was conducted
by various parties before the civil
and since, but of late years
it has been used almost exclusive
ly as a business block.
M. l.. Jackson has located his
beef market in the old Meroney
theatre building OH North Main
D. M. Miller is filling orders for
bis customers from his store in the
North Ward. He has made ar
engagements to occupy the room
vacated by Max L. Barker's print
ing office, just opposite Mr.. Mil
ler's former stand.
W. H. Huff has purchased an
interest in the firm of J. L. Misen-
helmer q Co., 116 N. Main street,
and will be glad to see his old
customers there.
Mr.. Hoffman has secured a loca-
ton in the building below Mrs.
Sheets boarding house on East
Innes street.

What the city council ought to do IS to pass such Sunday laws as are reas- enable and right and then enforce those laws all the time. In fact all the laws, city or state, ought to be enforced. Law enforcement Is what the country needs. It will repeal bad laws and make us more careful about new ones. Let the law state explicitly what shall be kept on Sunday and then enforce it. If the law now means that everything without exception is to be closed Sun day, let the law be enforced if the people want it that way, and If they do not want it that way, they will modify it to suit conditions.
