less to expect that any business or
professional man, who must earr his
living, can 2iye the affairs of a - =
poration, hA'ttiias thousands Of del

No priva-s corr Grafton would think
of doing business in such a wlV, FOL
it is not possible to get value le'

A BAD SYSTEM.

The News is thoroughly convinced
that the present system of working
the streets is bad. There should be
street committee which viii be re-
sponsible for the work. It is intoler-
able that labor should be put in on
street, which if opened would not he
used on account of the crossing If
so many tracks, and while this labor
was being wasted, the schools were
wanting sewerage and the school
grounds a reproach to the city be-
cause The weeds have not been cut.
When one of the oldest councihmen
was asked why New Orleans street
was being worked down at the Mis-
sissippi Central crossing, he said that
he knew nothing about it and was
opposed to doing this work when
there was so much other work to be
done. Let the city council appoint a
street committee to direct the work,
and if one man is Too busy to give 1t
his atten-i)l, tneC be can cali in a;
other member of tho committee.

ADVERTISING THAT PAYS.

The News is in receipt of a letter
from a lumber company in Birming-
ham, which had an ad in the News,
saying that quick and satisfactory re-
suits had been obtained from the adj
vertising This was not surprising to
the News management, for the reason
that ninety per cent of the mills in
South East Mississippi get the Daily
News and that the columns are read
by the people connected with the mills
so that those who wish to reach the
lumber interests Of this section can
find no better medium than The Daily

it is not so full of advertising that

CRIME is NOT PRINCIPAL TOPIC
OF DISCUSSION AS SHOWN BY
STATISTICS OF EXPERT
Big DaiIies Devote Only Small Pei
Cent. of Their News Space to the
Tales of Crime and Wrong
Doing.
Doing.

similar topics are given more space in
the newspapers than crime and scan
dals, in spite of the prevailing i'm
preston to the contrary, is furnished
by Arthur |. Street, whose business is
the indexing of newspapers published
all over the United States. Mr.. Street
in a series of carefully compiled sta
tistics, based on the examination of
the leading newspapers of the country
for the year 1908, shows strikingly in
the Chicago Tribune that the charge
so often made against the daily press
that it gives undue prominence to
criminal news and news of a scan
dalous nature is totally unfounded.
For example, such matters as the
Thaw case, the Sagan-Castellane4 di-
vorce scandal, the Black Hand the
Hams murder and half dozen other
criminal and scandalous stories that
aroused much public interest were
mentioned in the newspapers but 443
times during the entire year, while in
the same papers during the same time
$3.50 items of foreign news appeared,
1,140 relating to congress, 679 on sub
jects connected with railroads, $50
about President Roosevelt, $50 on
William Taft, 397 on educational and
scientific topics, 800 on religious mat
ters and PCS on new problems in med
icine and surgery.
Taking all the crimes that were
considered worth telegraphing by any
of the big press associations to the
papers they serve, Mr.. Street finds
only 1,343 items relating to crime and
scandal all over the United States.
Contrasted with this he finds that
railroads and business matters, entire
ly aside from Wall street reports, ac-
count for 1882 items. Congressional
and political news furnished in 1898
2,7S1 items Of news, more than twice
as many as all the crimes and sean
dals together.

 Under a further interpretation of that decision" said Mir. Gompers, Ia bor unions can be dissolved by any move on the part of the federal gov ernment. Men can be sentenced to a year in prison and a fine of s5.OOO. The officers and members of the union also can be proceeded against. civilly, and three-fold damages be assessed against them in any amount that may be complained of By any person claiming to have suffered by reason of the men quitting work or withholding their patronage"
 President Taft was asked if there was any truth in the report that American workingmen, principally laborers belonging to American unions. were being laid off in Panama to make room for foreigners. The pres ident said he had not heard of such a report and did not believe it could be true.

The following is taken from

Before Geo. H. Howell, ESQ.,.

United States court room yester-
day there was a continuance Of
the examination of members of
the bankrupt corporation ofFloyd
Bros. & Mitchell, of Fairmont, N.
C., begun in this city a few
weeks ago. The corporation did
an extensive mercantile business
at Fairmont. Those examined

c. A. Floyd, members of the cor
poration, and Captain Jones, of
Fairmont. The trustee, S. B.
Mclean, Esq.,, Of Maxton, was
present. Representing some Of
the creditors We're B. T. Mclean
Esq, of Maxton; George Roun-
tree and R. G.Grady, of this city,
while R.C. Lawrence and A. w

THE DRUMMER GOTHUFFY.
Because He Could Not Sit at a
Reserved Seat the Drummer
Go, or, His Ear.

When a gentleman cannot eat
at the exact spot at a table he
wants to eat at it's a bloomin'
shame. SO it is. And the only
proper way for a gentleman to
act under such circumstances is
to get huffy and leave the dining
room and not eat there at all.
Stree! That's the way to show
'em. Don't take no dragging.
That's the way a man did at the
Waverly hotel the other morning.
He walked into the dining-room
and started to sit down at place
which, as the position of the chair
indicated, had been reserved for
some one else. The waiter DO
litelyinformedt the gentleman that
that place was reserved and pull
ed out another chair and invited
him to sit there. No, indeed. II
he could not sit where he wanted
to sit he would not eat there at
all, so he marched out of the
room!
That's the way for a grown
man to act. You bet your life
| When you enter a hotel dining
room and see one place reserved,
make for that. and if a waiter
politely ventures to inform yol
that the place is reserved and in
vites you to sit elsewhere, jus
tilt your chin and walk kout. That
the medicine.
At last accounts, however
Capt. Bicherey was still doin.
business at the same stand. 1t di
not quite put him out of business

ADJUSTMENTS.
Special Train Carries Large
Crowd to Fayetteville to Wit
ness Splendid Play.

A special train was run from
Lumberton to Fayetteville and
return Monday night over the
Virginia 4 Carolina Southern on
account of the play The Lion
and the Mouse, produced there
that evening, and a large crowd
went from Lumberton, St. Pauls,
and Parktor. 1t was one of the
most thoroughly enjoyable even
ings of the season. TIE train
was loaded down with congenial
people. the play was all that the
most enthusiastic hopet; it would
be, and everything vent eff
smoothly. There was no hitch
anywhere and nothing to mar the
pleasure of the trip. On the re-
turn trip the management of the
special train treated the crowd
to fruit Of various kinds.
And the play was notable
production. To begin with. it is
one of the strongest plays on the
stage today, and it was TO n.ea,
cast that interpreted it to thai
large crowd at The Lafayette lhc-
atre in Fayetteville Monday even
ing. Only a hypercriticai person
could fail to give that pro
duction the hearty praise
deserves.

under same conditions

towns under same conditions
will obtain.
One of the advantages in re-
building the line will be that
cables will be put in and thus ex-
posed wires will be done away
with. 1t is thought that the e1,-
tire work of putting in metallic
circuit will be completed within
6 months. Long distance SER
vice will probably be ready with
in something like so days. The
Bell company will take charge Of
the local line about the first Of
next month.
The cost will be greater, but
the service will be better and the
Bell people claim that the rate,
service considered, will not be
as high as formerly. In any
event, free service to the. near
by towns, which has been given
by the local company to regular
subscribers, would have been at
an end, for it has been found too
expensive. Better service is de-
manded and it will cost more.
The local company has given as
good service as could have been
expected at the rates charged,
but they could not, at those rates,
improve the service or continue
free service to other towns, sc
they have gracefully stepped
aside and opened they way fol
better service.
There is no doubt but that the
change will be welcomed. Lum.
berton has been cut off too long
from the outside world by lacl
Of phone connections. That tha
cannot be said much longer i:
cause for rejoicing.

We're drawn out by the excellent

that the show was not all right,
for it was. The show is given
by a bunch of sure-enough ne

acts a negro about as we'll as q
white man who is good at the
part can act the negro, which is
saying a great deal; and other
