But for the fact that he seems
to feel called upon to express an
opinion upon every subject upon
which comment may be made in
heaven above, on the earth be-
meath and in the waters which
surround the earth, we see no
special reason why President
Roosevelt should be so SUPER
tiuous to make any comment
at all upon President-Elect Taft's
religion, but since he has seen
fit to make public a letter in
regard to that we are glad to be
able for once to agree with the
President that ''Mr. Taft's reli-
gious faith is purely his own
private concern and not matter
Tor general discussion and polit-
cal discrimination" Long before
Ihe election and before we had
seen any expression whatever in
regard to the matter from any
source other than the correspon-
oence to which we were replying,
we took occasion to say in effect
that we considered it mighty
small business to ring the changes
upon Mr.. Taft's religion and
that for our part, so far as his
religion was concerned, we would
as soon vote for him as for Mr..
Bryan. Later, in a private con-
Versatlon, we were taken to task
severely by a well-known editor
OF a church paper whom we
esteem highly for giving express
sion to the same thing. But we
nave seen no reason to change
our belief and we still think that
the papers and men that tried to
make political capital before the
recent election out of Mr.. Taft's
1alth ought to go way back and

The service on the rural route

from daily to tri-weekly, which
works a great inconvenience to
the people on that route. They
get mail now only on Mondays,
Wednesday, and Fridays. Mail
that reaches St. Pauls Monday
afternoon, for instance, must lie
there until Wednesday. The

Monday and Thursday after
moons, and owing to this change
IN service Thursdays paper can
not reach subscribers on that

In view of the fact that 1000
pieces of mail were carried on

cult to understand why the
change was made. We hope the

If this thing of mistaking and

other game keeps up it will be
necessary for those who venture
into the woods to keep up a con-
tinual noise like a man. The

its last issue of a man who went
out to shoot turkeys on the
Great Pee Dee last Monday, saw
something black through the
trees and plugged away at it,
and when he ran forward to
bag his game was Mortified to
hear a mans voice moaning,
My God, l am killed." and to
see a man lying PROSTATE. 1t
turned out that the man was
not seriously wounded, after all,
but it's a good thing for Mr..
Hardy Sellers, who did the shoot
ing, that he was scared within
an inch of his life. PERHAPS
next time he will know what
he's shooting at before he shoots.

ed for that they ever got down
to such small business.

Some time ago, prior to the
election, Col. N. A. Mclean re-
signed as attorney for the board
of audit and finance of the coun-
ty, giving as his reason that he
did not care to be in any way
connected with the affairs of the
county as at present administer
ed. Now Mr.. A. B. Pearsall, as
will be seen from a card pub
lished elsewhere in this paper,
resigns as chairman of that
board because he deems it unnec-
essary for the board of audit and
finance to make any further in
vestigation if the commissioners
are to continue to wholly disre-
gard it's action and the courts
are to take no action in regard
to it's findings. We understand
and appreciate the motives that
prompted Col. Mclean and Mr..
Pearsall in their action, but we
regret that they have found it
necessary to take the step. We
believe the board of audit and
finance has done much good and
that it's usefulness is by no means
at an end. We hope the board
Of audit and finance will con-
tinue it's thankless work and ite
seemingly hopeless efforts tc
correct evils that have crept
into the administration of the
affairs of the county. It's work
has not been and will not be in
vain.

The killing of ex-senator Ed
ward Ward Carmack on a street
in Nashville, Tenn, one week ago
today seems to have been moth
ing more nor less than coward
ly murder. According to the
only eyewitness of the tragedy
the murdered man, who was one
of the most brilliant men in the
country, was taken entirely un-
awares, was smilingly speaking
to a lady, with his hat in his
right hand and a cigar and
newspaper in the other, when he
was exultingly informed that the
Coopers, father and son, had
the drop on him." Mr.. Car
mack sprang clear of the wo-
man to whom he had been speak
ing and bravely put up the
best fight possible under the
circumstances, but he had no
chance for his life. Colonel Coop
er has been referred to as q
gentleman" who counts life as
nothing when honor's at stake.
His enemy's life he counted as
nothing, but his own he held
above all considerations of honor.
Men who try to live up to the
name do not waylay and shoot
down an enemy without giving
him an equal chance for his life.
1t was a cowardly, brutal mur
der, and what Tennessee is goine
to do about it will either brighter
or blacken the fair name of tha
State.

THE STATE HOSPITALS.


Gently the board of directors of
the State Hospital at Morganton
prepared an address to the peo-
pie of the State setting forth why
that hospital remains crowded
and has had to turn away many
applicants notwithstanding the
appropriation of half a million
dollars, available $685. 900 a year,
made by the Legislature two
year ago. We regret that the
copy of The Charlotte Observer
in which this address was pub
lished, with appropriate editorial
comment thereon, has been mis-
placed, so that we cannot give
exact dates and figures; but if
our memory is not at fault more
than 100000 have been spent
at Raleigh, about $56, 900 at
Goldsboro, and during the same
time some 81, 500 have been appro-
priated for the Morganton Hos
pitaI, this last for land which is
of no sort Of use to the directors
of that institution except for the
erection of buildings for male
patients. The Morganton Hos
pital has been and is an admirable
institution, under excellent man.
agement-that has not been
questioned-an institution of
which the entire State is proud
and which is favorably known
outside the borders of the State,
yet whenever the urgent need
for an additional appropriation
for that hospital-$3O,OO is asked
for, we believe-is presented the
commission which has the power
of distributing the money appro-
priated by the General Assembly
says that the accommodations al
Raleigh must be made equal tc
those at Morganton before any
more appropriation is made for
the hospital at the latter place
gives that as it's reason for refus.
ing to appropriate the amount
asked for at Morganton without
even claiming that the same &C.
commOdations are needed al
Raleigh. We do not now recall
and have not taken the trouble
to find out who the eastern
members-three of the five are
in the eastern district-of thai
commission are; but whoever
they are, they ought to be made
the subjects throughout the State
of such blasting ridicule anc
whitening carcasm that they
would be ashamed to show them
selves until they learn that ade.
quate provision for the care O.
the unfortunate afflicted, no mat.
ter to what part of the State the
appropriation goes, is of in
tinitely greater Importance thar
any narrow, mean, measly, con
temptible consideration of oh
tanning equal accommodation
for any particular hospital wher
it is not even claimed that equa
accommodations are needed.
