THE LOCKE BILL.

Governor Sanders Of Louisiana has
into effect in 80 days, thus affecting
the summer and fall meetings in that
state as we'll as the winter races which
have long been prominent features of
life there.
The new law will probably close or
keep closed all the tracks in that state,
for it renders all men connected with
them subject to both fine and impris-
onment if betting ofany sort is carried
on in or near them. The penalty is
not a fine or Imprisonment, but is q
fine and imprisonment. An offender
must be fined not less than 500 and
imprisoned notices. than six months.
To engage in racing that admits of
is therefore an invention to spend a
term in Jail or in the p~enitentiary. The
law is brief, but drastic. and is probaly
modelled on the new anti gam bling
law of New York. N
When race-track gainb1ingis stopped
in New York and New Orleans a blow
has been STRUCK that will prove fatal to
it throughout the 46 states. Possibly
gambling on the prices of grain, cotton
and stocks will reap some of the harv-
est heretofore gathered at race tracks,
and there is a tendency in many states
to regulate and even to prohibit all
: transactions in which no goods are
handled-to regard them, in other
words, as mere bets on future prices.
All these efforts may not lessen the
craving for extra hazards, but they are
evidence, lat any rate,of a higher moral
lone in semi-public affairs.

We trust the esteemed Wilson scribe
will have no<hard feelings if GoIdsboro

going to do it alright, and it will occur
again next Monday if you are not

The Wilson fans say that Umstead

Mr.. Ogle is a good pitcher, but he
was up against the real thing when
he struck Bennett, SuIlivan,S Adams,

Maggie is again his old self, only he

fifth being away for repairs. But any

how it was done.
There are lots of automobiles in the
city of Wilson. but say, where were
all the "honks'' yesterday?
From the present indications today's
gamea will be a pitchers battle, with
Mayberry and Caldwell delivering The

Mills, kindly remember those cigars
when you come up next Monday!

Wilson scribe, in a resent issue, had a

about playing, you couldn't even get
the old maids to play hands yesterday.
It was one Of the hottest days that
Wilson has had in the baseball heat.
The thermometer registered in high
degrees, AND thers was no breeze dur

disgust of the Wilson fans, who were

Charlotte, June 29.-The platform

port to the convention today.
The platform was drafted last We'd
ncsday evening and in the natural
course of events would have been OF
fered for ratification Thursday, GER
tainIy not later than Friday. The long
drawn-out contest for the gubernato-
rial howevever, interven-

four days the platform has been on
col / storage awaiting a favorable op-
p%ortulity for PR sentation. When Of
fered today it wilIdoubtless go through
wi la rush as the delegates are eager
30 return home.
The platform is said by those who
have Examined it t" be aggressive and
at the same time conservative-w1thal,
a splendid PRONUNCIATION OF h best
Detnocracratic principles. 1t reflect
the predomiuating sentiment in Norti.
Carolina that foreign capital should b.
welcomed to the State and that vested
interests should be allowed a just n
equable return on their properties.
While there are said to be several
blanks, which at first glance may seem
n little off-color to some, a closer ex-
animation will Disclose the fact that
they are not radical, nor in1micable to
the business interests OF the Stats. 0

sad 10 be IN advance OF others in
concIseuess and force OF temen on

WHAT ARE THE FAcTS7

In the last issue OF one Of our
local papers there appeared an
article headed Taxpayer Ans
wers." In the previous issue
of The Tribune the assertion
was made that the amount Of
state taxes which will be paid
by Richardson county in 1908 Is
less than the amount paid in
1907 and that the county taxes
for 1908 will be more than the
county taxes for 1907.
This assertion was made in
answer to a democratic, howl
about taxes and calls attention
to the tact that a republican
state equalization board has
reduced the state taxes in this
county and a local democratic
board has raised the county
taxes.
What are the facts? We will
take the figures just as they are
given by Taxpayer himself and
we submit that the statement of
The Tribune is proven by Mr..
Taxpayers own figures. Mr.
Taxpayer gives the state levy
for 1907 as being $40, So. "a and
for 1908 as S44, 076. 05. These
very figures show the state taxes
to be paid by Richardson coun-
ty in 1908 to be Sl,778.49 less
than was paid in 1907.
Now what about the county
taxes for 1907 and 1908? Mr..
Taxpayers figures show the
county taxes for 1907 to haye
been S45, 840.54 and for 1908
they are $40. 800. 16. These fig
ures show that the tax payers
will pay S3,524.62 more county
taxes in 1908 than they paid in
1907. We have not found it
necessary to quote any other
figures than those furnished by
Taxpayer himself; and we sub.
init to our readers that the as
sertion of The Tribune concern.
ing the state and county taxes
for 1907 and 1908 is proven to
be true.
