The catawba Lumber company, U.
M. Pursley. manager has moved its
plant from a point near LESLIE station
to DeKalb.
Mr.. A. w. Mcfarland mentioned
yesterday that he had six Enquirers
going to the single mail box Of Mr..
James L. Moss, the subscribers being
people who live on Mr. Mosss planta-
ton and who have no mail boxes Of
their own.
The publishers of The Enquirer are
very much gratified at the close Of an
unusually successful subscription get
ting campaign. The returns have been
somewhat larger than UP to this time
last year and the collections have been
remarkably close, the clubmakers hav-
ing to stand for only a few unpaid
names. We feel that we have encour-
agement to put forth our best efforts
in giving our patrons a newspaper that
will be Of interest and profit to them,
and we have no hesitation in confess
ing that If we fail, we will be deserv-
ing Of all the blame that may attach.
The biggest bunch Of new subscrib-
ers sent in on any one club this year,
came from Mr. jeff D. Whitesides Of
Hickory Grove. This was the first ex-
perience Of Mr. Whitesides as club
maker. He started late; but went at
it like fighting fire and rounded up
nearly all the non-newspaper sub
scribers in his country. In all he sent
in sixty-on names, most Of them new.
A few paid their subscriptions at this
Office, and Mr.. Whitesides came in
Wednesday and settled for the bal
ance with check for $9S on the Bank
Of Hickory Grove.

AN EDITORS TROUBLES.
Mr.. A. 3. Williams Approves Of Mr..
r. w. Simpsons Course.

AS we'll as we can gather the facts
Of the newspaper trouble at Raleigh,
n. c., Mr.. Simpson, lately editor of
the Raleigh Evening Times, has act
ed in exact accordance with the high
est standards of the ethics of the
trade. He published certain accusa-
tions against members Of the legisla-
ture. The information on which his
charge was based was confidential.
Therefore, while sticking to his point
and insisting that what he had said
his informant.
The owner of the Times published
an apology for the article, objection
having been made to it and its ac-
curacy having been challenged by
members of the legislature speaking
to personal privilege. Mr.. Simpson,
as editor promptly published a repu-
diation Of the apology, reiterated his
former assertions and announced his
resignation. Now, summoned before
a committee Of the legislature and
threatened with dire personal and le-
gal penalties, he steadily holds his
ground, insists that he is right but re-
fuses to reveal the sources Of his in
formation. We happen to know this
gentleman and have a pretty definite
idea that the legislature might pull
him to pieces an inch at time with
red hot pinchers and never would
get him to reveal anything he felt
in honor bound to conceal.
Probably Mr.. Simpson made a mis-
take at the beginning in using infor-
nation from persons who would not
permit their names to be given on de-
mand. Most of us have stumbled in
to that same scrape, but as we be-
come old birds we avoid 1t. On gen.
eral principles the man who Is AFRAID
to be known by those who have the
right to know in connection with In
formation given a newspaper, or who
insists that he be hidden from the
persons he accuses, will not do to tie
to. There are exceptional cases. We
have known instances when for pc
culiar reasonE narsnnS could not al
low themselves to be known in con-
nection with news which was abso-
lutely accurate and which 1t was the
duty of the newspaper to put before
the public In those cases the news
paper man who knows the best ira
ditions and regards the honor Of his
business will guard the confidence
reposed in him to the very last and
If necessary assume any personal re-
sponsibility and accept any conse-
quences. In ninety-nine cases out OF
hundred, however, the newspaper
man, be he reporter or editor, should
protect himself carefully and make
sure that he has for every important
assertion for which ne becomes re-
sponsible an author on whom he may
rely at the last pinch.-Richmond

Of the Caucasian in a way which many
consider harmful and gratuitously so.

ALCOHOL FROM SAwDUST.-Another
infant industry has been started in
this country, says a Washington dis
patch, and that is the manufacture or
alcohol from sawdust. Of course alco-
hol has been frequently made from
sawdust in the laboratory, but samples
have been sent to the department OF
agriculture from one of the big saw
mills where the work is being done on
a commercial scale; that is to say, a
distilling plant has been installed which
is turning out several barrels Of alco-
hol daily though no figures are avail
able as to the actual cost Of manufac-
ture compared with wood alcohol or
that from grain.
The interesting point about the saw
dust alcohol Is that it is not a wood
alcohol, having none of the properties
of that fluid, but is an ethyl alcohol
that cannot be told from that made
from grain. The difference is that the
sawdust alcohol Is made after sawdust
has been treated with an acid, trans
forming ii into deXtrOse, and is then
distilled in the regular way. If the
work can be done at profit, and the
indications from the work of the COM
pany point to this being a fact, it will
not only make valuable by-product
out of the sawduSt that has hereto
fore been an intolerable nuisance to
the sawmills but it will open a way to
make alcohol profitably from straw,
cane, cornstalks and almost any other
vegetable refuse.

A COLUMBIA dispatch says that
President William E. Hull Of the
Clarke Bros. distillery, Peoria, ILL.,, has
offered to buy the state stock Of Ii
quor valued at ss5O,OOO provided his
company can have the right to rent the
state dispensary building in Columbia
and conduct a blending and bottling
business. The Clarke people would be
safe in offering s1O,OOO,OOO for this
stock of liquors. The company has
no legal right to accept such an offer
and the governor and attorney general
are not going to stand for anything
that is not warranted under the law.

- Charlotte Observer, March Is: A
case of interest to Charlotte people
was decided at Lancaster, S. c.. We'd
nesday, when ]. w. Lance, who travels
for c. H. Robinson & Co, of this city,
was acquitted of the murder of Ben
Hood, a WaXhaw negro whom he slew
number of months ago. The case
was tried in the court of general ses-
siOns. Mr. Lance was shot in the arm
in the encounter and was confined in
the Presbyterian hospital Of this city
for several weeks. He claimed that
the negro made threatening advances
toward him, firing first whereupon he
shot and killed him. Mr.. T. A. Adams,
Of the local bar. was one Of the attor-
neys for the defense.

PASSAGE MONEY FOR ALIENS.

Until July Next States May FURNISH
Transportation.
Information received today, says a
Washington dispatch Of Wednesday,
renders it clear that the immigration
authorities, as one result Of the sew
eral conferences recently held, In
which the president, Secretary Straus,
Attorney General Bonaparte, Commits
sioner of immigration Sargent and
prominent men Of the south have par
ticipated, will interpret the existing
immigration law as 1t was interpreted
in the South Carolina case. The at
torney general has held that the immi-
grants landed at Charleston last NO
vember are legally in this country.
They were induced to come to Amer
lea by authorized agents Of the state
Of South Carolina, and the passage
money Of some, at least of them was
paid by the state, and OF others by
contributions by citizens.
Several other southern states have
decided to seek immigration along the
same lines as were followed by South
Carolina, and it is understood they Will
not be interfered with in the carrying
out Of their plans, prior to the first OF
next July, on which date the act OF
February 20, 1907, will become effec-
tive. In other words such immigrants
as present themselves to the ports OF
this country before July 1, next, un-
der conditions the same as surrounded
those who arrived at Charleston, 5.
c., last November, will be permitted to
land.
Meanwhile Attorney General Bona
parte will examine carefully the new
immigration law and will prepare an
Interpretation of it for the guidance
Of the administration and the south
ern states. 1t is quite certain that the
states, under the law, will be permit
ted to advertise the advantages to i'm
migrants Of locating within their bor-
ders, but whether the state authorities
are to be permitted to go to the extent
Of furnishing immigrants with trans
portation to this country Is yet prob
lematical.
1t is the opinion Of Attorney General
Bonaparte that they will be permitted
to do so, but he expects further to ex-
anime the law in the light, Of the de-
cisions Of the courts and render to the
president formal opinion on the sub
iect before the law shall become ef-
fective.

Washington, March II: Since the
announcement that the signal corps
was planning to have constructed a
larger type of balloon than any now

have besieged the war department
with plans and ideas covering almost
every conceivable kind of air ship.
None of them are in any sense practl-
cable, according to Brigadier General
James Allen, chief signal officer, VINO
stated yesterday that the balloon that
the signal corps proposes to use at
Fort Omaha, Neb., for observation
purposes, is to be no different, except
in size, from any now in use. Specifi-
cations are now being prepared by the
war department, under Gen. Aliens
direction, though no contract has been
awarded as yet. The specifications
will call for a balloon with capacity
Of $4,000 feet Of coal gas. capable Of
carrying five men and 1900 pounds of
sand ballast. When constructed it
will be larger than any balloon of the
coal gas type now in service. a ma

signal corps, Gen. Allen states. have
been for air ships, propelled by mo-
tors. These, he said, are Of no inter-
