Lid on Tight.
Greensboro Record.

Greensboro Record.
Charlotte's aldermen eft, bled and
died over the soft drink problem
and finally decided to ''bar the door"
No more soft drinks, no more ice
cream, no cigars, nothing but actual
necessities are to be sold on Sunday.
Ten to nine was the vote to open the
doors, with two aldermen absent.
The question of what are necessities
was left to the city attorney and he
delivers himself to the effect that ice
and milk only ore necessities. How
about bread? Suppose a man and
his family, having been away, should
strike down after midnight of Satur-
day, he not be allowed to buy bread?
This Sunday closing business is a
hard nut to crack. The rub is to
the higher courts may be called on
to settle it, Under Charlotte's new
ruling ice cream cannot be ordered
on Saturday and delivered on Sun
day. The lid is down good and
tight. This is the only way to it
all or none; no use beating around
the bush; swat 'em and swat 'em
hard.
Last year Greensboro passed an
ordinance about Sunday closing or
rather Sunday selling; it was some
what like the old English drink of 'alf
an 'alf; we were open certain hours,
and closed certain hours, so the
present mayor, who was called on
to pass on what were necessities,
declined to act and things are open.
that is to say, one can buy soft
drinks, cigars, papers, etc. If there
is any change in the morals or order
OF the city it is not perceptible and
we understand that the number OF
arrests on Sunday are fewer than
when we had 'alf'n- .alf.
But speaking about calling on the
higher court, aldermen have wonder
full powers and we incline to the be-
lief that if anything is done it will be
to pass Oh what are actual necessi-
ties and here is where your Philadel-
| phia lawyer will be needed.

TO NORTH CAROLINA.

Writing last week about the OBJ
servance OF North Carolina week at
the jamestown Exposition, the Nor
folk Ledger-Dispatch paid the follow
ing pleasing tribute to the Old North
State which we are sure our people
will appreciate:
A correspondent suggests that on
these days Norfolk and the expOsi-
ton shall don the cOlors Of North
Carolina and that the stores, hotels
and public places display buntings OF
the "blue and white" such as are in
evidence when the football boys are
in the city.
Nothing that Norfolk can do to in
dicate her interest in, and good feel
ing toward, North Carolina will be
amiss This city numbers among its
most eminent business and PROBES
sionai men many natives OF our SIS
ter State, and we are bound by every
possible tie, and are nearer to North
Carolina in sentiments and business
than to any other State.
North Carolina has evinced from
the beginning lively interest in the
exposition, and has contributed in
many ways to its success, and now
that the State is to have not only a
day" but a week, there should be
some especial effort made to indicate
our appreciation OF the spirit she has
shown.
The "down-homer" could only be
the splendid product ola great State.
The poet described him when ne
wrote:
Take the bright shell from it's home on the
And wherever it goes it will sing OF the sea,
Take the fond heart from its home and its
hearth,
And twill sing of it's loved to the end OF the
earth"
North Carolnians have reason to
be proud of their State, and to love
her best, and then next should come
Virginia, to whose prosperity she
has contributed and within whose
borders so many of the clown
homers" live and are honored. No
welcome could be too royal for North
Carolina, and she should be greeted
with banners of her colOrs when her
people come to enjoy the exposition.

Senator Overman's Views.
Salisbury Post.

Salisbury Post.
The New York World last Friday
wired Senator Overman asking him
whether or not he thought there
would be an effort made to impeach
Judge Pritchard, and soliciting his
views on the situation. In Satur-
days World appeared the following
reply from Senator Overman:
Answering your telegram as to
whether any action will be taken at
the next session of Congress looking
to the impeachment of Judge Prtch-
ard:
"While the people of this State are
highly incensed and outraged at the
action of Judge Pritchard, they do
not as rule believe he acted cor
ruptly. | have no idea that any
action on the part of the North Car
DINA delegation will be taken in the
next Congress looking to his impeach
ment. Neither is there, nor do |
think there will be, any general de-
mand for such action. Our people
are calm but determined that there
shall be no invasion upon the sOver-,
eighty o: their State. There will be
no conflict between the State and
Federal courts, such as to bring vio-
lence and the clash of arms.
''The greatest questions involved
will be settled by the highest court
in the land, in whose decision our
people will cheerfully acquiesce. But
the State has entered a firm protest,
which will be heard by all the people
of the States and be warning to them
of the open and insidious attacks
which are being constantly made by
the Federal government upon the in
tegrity OF the States and our dual
government.
'The question of States rights will
be one OF the live subjects of discus
sion and action in the next congress,
growing out of the child labor bills,
and perhaps the japanese treaty
question, and bill limiting, if not en-
tirely taking away, the Injunction
power of the Federal Judges, which
has been exercised and abused at
times by them in the rate legislation
matters.
''The two most important planks
| in the next Democratic platform
should be tariff revision and the
preservation of those rights of the
States and the people which they ex
pressly reserved to themselves in the
| Constitution ITSELF

GOVERNOR GLENN'S VICTORY.

The CoHunOner, William jennings
Bryan's newspaper, comments us
follows on the outcome of the North
Carolina railroad rate contest:
Governor Glenns victory is
notable one and may prove the be-
ginning of successful movement
to compel the recognition of the
right OF the State to control COM
merce within its borders The Federal
courts are constantly interfering
with State regulation of railroads,
but it takes IL fragrant case to at
tract attention and it would seem
that Judge Pritchard's ruling was
outrageous enough to make the
country take notice.
1t is fortunate for North Carolina
that she has a Governor with the
necessary courage to enforce the law.

ANOTHER SIDE OF THE STORY.

Mr.. r. W. Simpson, Jr., late editor
of the Raleigh Erening Times, now
on the editorial staff of the Richmond
Times Dispatch, was in Raleigh last
week and wrote his paper an article
on the aftermath of the recent rail-
road rate war from which the follow
ing is quoted:
zone incident has been used repeat
eddy and magnified by railroad-ha-
ting newspapers in an effort to show
that Judge Pritchard and the South
ern Railway long ago formed queer
alliance. The fact that the Southern
had printed rebate coupons before
the Pritcliard injunction was issued,
was accepted as undoubted evidence
that the company felt sure of its
strong power over him. Half lie IS
worse than a whole lie.
"Pending announcement from the
court on the question of continuing
the temporary injunction, by which
the rate law was held up, the South
ern Railway officials knew that one
of two things would happen. There
fore, to meet either emergency, two
things were done: The rebate cOu-
pons were printed and new tariff
for the Interstate passenger bust
ness was published, showing the
rates to be charged in the event the
Injunction was dismissed. The com
pany went to double expense to be
prepared, for time was limited and
the conditions whatever they might
be, bad to be met If the injunction
had been thrown aside the new tariff
sheets would have been sent from the
distributing point within the hour,
but this latter fact has never been
mentioned by those newspapers which
are still denouncing Judge Pritchard
in and out of season."

Must Have Cheaper Freight Rates.

How long will North Carolina towns
and cities be compelled to pay extor-
tlonate and discriminatory freight
rates?
This is n question that is engaging
the minds of not only merchants, but
all classes OF business men, for all are
made to suffer the injustice that is
now heaped upon this State by the
railroads.
There was to have been confer
ence on yesterday between traffic
managers of the railroads, Governor
Glenn and the corporation commits
SION, along with representatives of
the Retail Merchants Association,
but the conference was postponed be-
cause the railroad officials failed to
show up. This meeting will be held
soon and the people of the State are
earnestly hoping that some steps will
be taken to place North Carolina
towns on an equal footing with Vir-
glnia and other points.
Rates charged in this State are
proposterous and something must
be done. In effecting that something
each individual can play role, in
stirring that public sentiment which
Will demand an adjustment of tie

The talk OF Gov. Glenn for the

is not of course to be taken seriously.
1t is proper to say, however, that

wise, as well fitted for the presidency
as many men who have filled the
