Right Man in The Right Place.
Norfolk Yirgnian- Pilot.

Norfolk Virgnian-Pilot.
The Wilmington Messengercall on
the Democrats of the First North
Carolina District to see to it that
Hon. John I'll. Small be continued as
their Representative in Congress. To
depose him and substitute another
in his place the Messenger declares
would be Suicidal and of incalcu-
liable injury to the State
Though in a certain sense an out
slider, this newspaper ventures to en-
dorse all that it's North Carolina
contemporary has to say on this
subject. Mr.. Small is now serving
his fifth term in Congress, and has
proved himself an able and energetic
Representative. To his energy and
zeal more than to any other cause is
due the present bright prospect of
an early consummation of the Inland
waterway project. In season and
out, since he first entered Congress,
Mr.. Small has labored in behalf of
his undertaking, in which his district
is especially and vitality interested
and which is of large concern not to
his State alone, but to the entire
Atlantic seaboard. BY constantly
keeping before Congress and the pub
lie the great Importance OF this pro-
iect and the enormous and wide
spread advantages sure to flow from
its consummation, he has already
succeeded in securing congressional
authorization of the constitution of
one section of the Norfolk Beaufort
link; and to the campaign of educa-
ton inaugurated and persistently
pursued by him is no small measure
due the concerted and vigorous &C
ton on the part OF the Atlantic
Coast States which argues so we'll for
the success of the whole project. In
the interest of this scheme, if for no
other rason, Mr.. Small should be
in Congress. AS the Mes
senger well says, this is no time for
the First North Carolina District to
be swapping Representatives. No
new man could enter the next Con-
gress and carry on this work as we'll
as Mr.. Small. By reason of long
service Mr. Small has acquired influ
ence and standing i'll the House
which no new REPRESENTATIVE, no mat
ter what his ability, would or could
possess at the outstart. Besides he
knows the subject, the arguments in
favor OF the inland waterway project,
infinitely better than any other man
in his district and as we'll as any man
out of it,uo matter from what State
or section he comes. Mr.. Small is
indeed the right man in the right
place. If his constituents are wise
and consult their own interests,
they will keep him in Congress as
long as he is willing to remain and
serve them.

Rules in Regard to Mileage Books
That Will Raise Row.
StatesviIle Landmark

StdtcSFllIe Ldn0mdfk.
Mention is made elsewhere in the
Landmark today that the railroads
will, in accordance with the passen-
ger rate agreement, put on sale April
1st mileage books OF the denomlna-
tiOn OF 1000, 1000 and 800 miles.
The following regulations are made
in regard to the use of the books:
"No mileage book of any description
will be accepted on the trains by con-
ductors. 1t will be necessary for the
purchaser TO 90 to the ticket office
and have q coupon issued there for
use on the trains. The agent will is
sue the certificate TO the destination
named and will tear off mileage suffi-
Gent to pay for it, This makes the
coupons in the books bear the purch-
ing, cash value of 2 cents per mile
or two and half cents according to
the form Of the book used
This change, we are told, is made
for the purpose OF relieving the con-
ductOrs of a vast amount OF annoy
ance and trouble, and also to pre-
vent the loss of mileage sometimes
torn from the books. 1t is, merely
however, transference Ofwork from
the conductors upon the ticket
agents, but the supposition is thatit
will greatly facilitate matters.
Thereasons assigned for the change
do not overcome the inconvenience
caused. One of the chief benefits in
buying mileage is to save the troub-
lie OF waiting at a crowded ticketoffice
window. Travelling men, too, are
not always sure when they board a
train Just where it will suit them to
stop and the mileage is government for
them as we'll as the conductor. The
new regulations impose an inconven-
fence and annoyance which seem en-
tirely unnecessary, but the railroads
can usually be depended on to do
something to irritate the public.

An Opinion on the Prohibition
Election.

Concord Tribune.
A Concord citizen prominent in the
affairs of church and State was heard
to remark that there is some danger
OF the State OF North Carolina voting
down the prohibition movement in
May, and based his Judgment on
what he has recently learned in Ca
barrus, Rowan, Davidson and Meek
lenburg counties He stated that it
was almost certain that the first
three named counties would vote
against prohibition, and that nearly
every county west of the North Caro-
lima railroad from Greensboro would
vote the same way. Guilford county,
he said, had already been conceded
to the vets.
In addition to the above opinion,
another gentleman stated that at
sale in Cabarrus county last week, a
poll was taken of the qualified vot-
ers, and that there were only two
men in the entire crowd who stated
that they would support the prohibit
tion ticket.
We are glad that Gillette made a
confession to the ministers attending
him before his execution;and the lat
ter notified the public of the fact that
ne had confessed his guilt in q most
proper manner possible. How much
better that was than to give de-
tailed statement of the condemned
mans crime as he probably recount
ed it to them.-Wilmington Mes
Senger.
So the sacred principle of states
rights is to be lost in the administra-
tons greater passion-centraliza
ton. BY rapid degrees Roosevelt,
and his retainers are Transforming
once happy republic-where the voice
OF the states, like the will of their
people-was law and gospel, into an
empire. where one man does the
thinking and acting for the entire
mass.-Charlotte News.
The students OF the state university
gave President Venable a regular ova-
ton on his return to Chapel Hill Sat
urday night from his two months

ing to DR.. Venable as it was surpris-
ing. He had expected nothing of
the sort. 1t showed in what estima-
ton he is held by the university boys.

NEW THINGS IN NATURE.
Found by a Collector in the Desert

Los AngesIes, Cal.-Remarkable
discoveries of new species Of insects,
reptiles and bivalves have been

OF Cochise County, Ariz. He re

specimens. Some of his moths and
butterflies are valued at $50 a pair.
Many of his specimens are unknown
to etomologists and are destined for
the Smithsonian Institution.
One of the snakes secured is new

self to Escape Further Suffering.

Grand junction, Col-Fred Vim
cent, forty-two years old, who had
sold his body four times, TO as many
physicians. and outliyed those 70
whom he had given a bill of sale,
committed suicide by swallowing ff-
ty-one grains Of a drug.
The act was done in the Royalty
Club saloon and was deliberately
planned as Vincent told at least six
persons that he was about TO take his
life. lie secured the drug at a local
drug store in the morning and went
from the store to the Royalty Club
saloon. There he asked William
Gould, the bartender, for a glass Of
water, saying, Give me a glass Of
water, Bill, I'm going over the road.
The bartender gave him the glass
OF water, thinking he was joking, and
Vincent swallowed the poison, and
then went to his room, where short
ly after he died
Vincent killed himself because of
his physical condition. Five years
ago his body became filed with can
GERS and he sought treatment in Chi
cago at an institute, where his hands
were burned by an X-ray machine
and so badly disfigured and injured
that he could not work. He told
friends that he would rather die than
become a charge on the world, and
made every preparation to take his
life.
Vincent was six feet, six and
half inches tall and had worked as
farm hand here for years. Every
bone in his body was doubled jointed
and the cancers came about five
years ago. He spent the last year in
Chicago undergoing treatment, but
he grew worse instead Of better.
Physicians marvelled at the con-
struction of his body and a st. Louis
doctor, a Pennsylvania doctor and a
Denver surgeon purchased his BODY,
and it is said that the Chicago instt-
tuition now holds a bill of sale for it.
The three surgeons who purchased
his body have died.
Leaving the saloon Vincent called
back to Gould the bartender, Good
by, Bill, I'm dying as fast as I can,
good-by." Gould and others in the
Darroom followed him to his room,
where within a short time he was
seized with cOnvulsions and six men
were required to hold him. Again
and again he begged to be permitted
to die and finally in spite Of the et-
forts of physicians, he succumbed.
Vincent was born in Fairfield,
Iowa, and came to Grand Junction
twenty years ago. He leaves a step
mother in Fairfield, and other dis
tant relatives. Friends would not
permit the Chicago institute to have
the body of Vincent.
