Forty-three years ago this

fact that it had been cut off com

lmpregnable was the fort and SC
d~evotedly it's defenders. But this
is only by,,way of introduction to a
very good story that was told yes
terday to show the true relations
obtaining between the white peo-
pie and the black people Of this
much critisized and derided COM
munity.
When Fort Sumter was ADAM
doned Mr.. Lincoln's Emancipa-
ton Proclamation became effect
i've in Charleston. There was
living here then a very worthy
gentleman who owned a consider
BILE number of slaves. He had
always treated them with con-
s%ideration. Calling them to-
gether he told them they we're free
and could stay with him or go
wherever they pleased, that he
would take care of those who
stayed and that he would always
regard with affection those who
preferred to seek their fortunes
elsewhere; but he wished them to
understand that whenever they
needed help to let him know, SO
that he might be of some assis-
lance to them. Among them
there was a boy named Edward
then learning the trade of a car
penter under one of the contract
oTs # this town, Mr.. James
Kenny, and he Concluded to serve
ont his apprenticeship. He be-
came in time q journeyman aud
followed his trade in Charleston,
where he was much respected and
where he could always obtain re-
Vulnerable employment from the
people of the community.
In the cousre of time, sickness
fell upon him and reverse came
and in his dependency he did not
know where to turn for help; but
one day on his lowly couch
Of suffering he bethought himself
of the promise of his old master
who had long since passed away,
leaving behind him, However, a
daughter filled with her fathers
spirit, and turning in despair to
this gentlewoman, now living III
Asheville, the carpenter wrote to
her of his condition., reminding
her of her fathers promise. By
return mail came sufficient money
to pay his expenses to Asheville,
where he was placed in a sanito-
rum and nursed back to life and
strength and usefulness in the
community. Last Saturday Ed
ward reported for du y to the con-
tractor who told US the story and
it is hoped that he will lived for
many years.
The story teaches its own
moral. Is it too much to hope
that it will make a good impress

the PROPOSED PROHIBITION LAW.
What II VIII and What It Will Not Do by
The State Organizer.
WHAT IT WILL DO.

WHAT IT WILL DO.
Il will abolish every licensed
whiskey and brandy and brandy
distillery in the State.
It will abolish every saloon and
dispensary III the State.
It will stop the wine traffic
within the State. For wine can
be sold only at the place Of man
ufacture IN quantities of two and
one-half gallons or more and not
shipped anywhere in tue State.
Ii will stop the sale of all these
chemical mixtures by whatever
name known that will produce in
toxication.
1t will place under the most
stringent and binding regulations
pharmacists AID physicians, who
may handle intoxicating liquors
for medicinal purposes only.
1t will allow the officials of any
county or town to prohibit the
sale of intoxicating liquors by
pharmacists in the drug stores.
WHAT IT WILL NOT DO.
1t will not prohibit the farmer
from making cider from fruits
grown on his own land and selling
the same It home or in his market
town.
It will not stop the manufac-
turer from making his VINE and
shipping it outsite of the State.
It will not stop the sale Of these
medical preparations and essences
that may have alcohol i'll them
to preserve them or to hold the
medicinal agents in solution, such
as camphor, vanilla, eto.
It will not repeal existing pro-
hibition laws.
1t will not prohibit the sale of
wine to ministers or church Off
Gals for sacramental purposes.
If this law fails to be ratified
by the people at the polls on
May 26, 1908, it will not affect
the present status of any ex-
listing prohibition law in the
State. In other words, the dry
territory will not be changed.
Under the law, Greensboro's
voting wet would not make it wet,
and Salisbury's voting dry would
not make it dry. Under local
optjn Greensboro has voted dry.
and ae a locality she must remain
so until the locality as s1ch votes
wet, while Salisbury has voted
the other way. The vote on "the
manufacture and sale of intoxi-
eating liquors" in North Carolina
is quite q different thing from
local option.
Again, this law is right, For
the influence of liquor is never
local. Salisbury or Wilmington
citizens, while controlling the
sale of the traffic, do not control
the dangerous and damaging in
fuence of this traffic. This in
huence is felt for hundreds of
miles around. Every citizen i'll
the State has a right to self-pro-
lection against the Influence of
this traffic, now conferred at a
few points. and the only way Of
protection is the abolition of the
traffic throughout the State.

GAG LAW RULES
At STAMFORD

STAMFORD, Cal, April "a
Because the editor of the Stanford
"Sequoia" editorially criticised the
student affairs committee for
harshness in suspending al stu
dents recently, he was forbidden
the right to re-register as stu
dent, practically suspending him.
The announcement has caused
another wave of resentment. E. N.
Smith, the editor, is one of the
strongest men in college. He is a
son Of the publisher of the Homo
lulu Advertiser, and his attitude
was the attitude of the majority of
students in college. The editor of
the college daily is also in danger
of being treated in a like manner
because he printed a letter from
the president of the Stanford Tenn
perance society which declared
that drunkenness had nothing to
do with the suspension of the men,
and that the course taken by the
committee was narrow, ambiguous
and wrong; that it had done the
cause of temperance among stu
dents in the California college al
most irreparable injury.

RENOS IDAHO

BOISE, April 23-The bitterness
of the factional fight in Idaho DEM
ocracy has become so pronounced
that years will be required to heal
the breach. The contest over the
Mormon question has become a
fight to the finish.
If Dubois wins and an anti-Mor-
mon plank is inserted in the state
platform, it will be the story of two
years over again-an overwhelm-
ing republican victory. If Dubois
loses the result will be the same,
for this would mean the open with
drawal of Dubois and his more ar
dent followers from the party and
the organization Of an American
party in Idaho. At best the demo-
Gratis are in the minority, and the
loss of either faction, or even a
part thereof, will simply mean that
the republicans will not even have
to make a campaign.

LONG SHADOW
SCARES COPS

A long. lean shadow darkened
the door of the police station. And
IL was shadow, too, for it was
black. the sort of black that's
a cross between midnight and char

glanced around at it suddenly.
Some of those who have guilty con-

II was a human being seven feet
eleven inches tall that darkened
that doorway.

N. P. PREFERS TO
PAY FINES

The Northern Pacific appears to
find it more profitable or con-
genial to confess judgment and
pay fines for violating law than to
take steps to comply with the law.
Yesterday, through its local attor-
ney in the federal court, the COM
pany admitted guilt in violating
the regulations designed to insure
humane shipment OF stock. The
total fine for the offenses charged
by the government amounted to
$4,000.
Not long ago the same company
admitted violations of the safety
appliance law passed to protect the
lives and limbs of trainmen, and
paid a $1,000 fine for that.
