No Cinnamon Converted.
Saturday Blade.


Referring to the murder of Elsie
Sigel in New York by a Chinaman
she was trying to convert, one is
tempted to ask whether the business
of missions among the Chinese is
worth while, since the history of the
movement shows that the Chinaman
is more likely to convert the mission
worker to opium than the mission
worker is to convert the Chinaman
to Christianity.
Sir Roger Hart, for many years in
charge of the Chinese customs, on be-
half OF the British Government and
probably better acquainted with
China and the Chinese than any
other white man, has made the frank
statement that, no matter what
missionaries may believe and say,
not one Chinaman has ever been
really converted to Christianity.
He contends that the sole object OF
attending English speaking schools
is to learn English and to pick up
foreign methods, and that John
Chinaman's pretense of conversion is
pretense and nothing more.
There are more white heather in
New York than all the Cinnamon
missions will ever convert, here or in
China. And such girls as Else iSigel
can find better employment for their
energies among the children of the
American poor than among the al
mond-eyed devils OF the Chinese bells
infested by the very worst of the I'M
derworld.

Should Follow England's Example.
Durham Sun.

Durham Sun.
The efforts which Harry Thaw,m ur-
derer of Stanford White, in trying to
secure release from the insane asy-
lum to which he was committed on
the ground that hewas not mentally
responsible when he shot the New
York architect, strongly suggest the
superiority of the English law to our
own. Under English law, if we are
correctly informed, no individual who
escapes punishment for murder on
the ground of insanity can ever es-
cape from the asylum to which he or
sheis committed as the result of such
acquittal. 1t is argued under the
British system that when an individ-
uaI has at any time been SO insane
as to take human life the safety of
society demands the permanent in
generation of him who had been a
murderer in fact. Either the individ-
ual so acquitted is liable, despite in
tervenihg periods of apparent sanity
to suffer recurrence of the homicidal
mania, or else the acquittal on the
ground of insanity was a miscarriage
of Justice which can be at least in
part corrected by incarceration for
life. Whichever aIternativemay be ac-
copied by the friends OF the acquitted
no substantial injustice can come of
permanent incarceration. As a re-
suit, there are far fewer defenses
against the charge of murder on the
plea OF insanity. Few sane men even
if they be guilty, care to run the risk
of confinement in an insane asylum
for life. And on the other hand, when
such plea is entered and acquittal
follows, society is protected from
any possibility of the results of a
recurrence of the affection Opinion
in the case OF Thaw may, and doubt
less does, vary us to his sanity or
the reverse, but healthy opinion can
hardly vary as to the Justice of kind
ly, but effective. imprisonment for
the remainder Of his worse than Use

ENGLISH GIANT IN NEW YORK.
Dolling Is 7 Fl. Id H., Wears ~
Shoes, Uses 3.Quart Stein.

New York, July 28-When George
Dolling today stepped off the ferry
boat Ellis Island, used to bring in
migrants to the Battery, there was a
gasp OF establishment among agroup
of gatekeepers and immigration en-
ployes gathered on the pier. George
stands Z feet TX inches high and
weighs 275 pounds. He made the
six-foot Ellis Island men about him
look like a lot of office boys.
Mr.. Dooling-everybody calls him
"Mister" met by his brOther-in-
law, Benjamin Corday,who is mere
6 foot 8h inch STRIPPING. They shook
hands cordially and the newcomer
looked around at the skyscrapers,
while hundreds of people ran from all
directions to get a look at him.
The giant explained that he weighs
275 pounds, is % years old, married
and wears a II shoe, about 6 inches
wide and Is inches long. He has a
brother back in England who is only
two inches shorter than himself, but
who weighs 42O pounds.
He walked across Battery Park to
cafe and startled the bartender by
looking in over the transom and Or
dering zone beer for a man."
After the bartender recovered he
found an old stein in the rear room
with capacity of three quarts and
the Englishman was served. He said
he had been touring Europe with a
show, but was here to visit his sister.

Good Roads a Heritage.
Charlotte Observer.


The people all over this entire sec
ton OF country are becoming more
enthusiastic each day on the matter
OF good roads, are rapidly becoming
convinced Of good roads paramount
Importance and are demonstrating
their earnestness in the matter by
voting large sums of money for good
roads construction. But while this
general crusade against bad roads is
being carried On there are some peo-
pie to be found here and there who
retard the good work by their oppo-
sition to bond issues for the purpose
on the ground that they donot want
to saddle a debt on their children.
Such persons look at onl y one side
Of the picture, they see the indebted
ness created, but fail to take into &C
count the Offset thereto in the in
creased value OF the inheritances they
leave their children through the crea
ton OF the debt. Their children will
liquidate the debt, but it is they also
who will derive the greatest part OF
the benefit which will result from its
creation. No man who votes to put
a bonded debt on his country for the
purpose of building good roads need
fear that his children in future years
will complain of his action. To the
contrary, they will rise up and call
him blessed for the goodly heritage
he has left them. 1t is more for the
sake of coming generations than
themselves that people, especially
the owners of farms and the jewellers
in rural districts, are constructing
good roads, and the children OF those
who refuse to follow this course will
have just cause of complaint and
they will deplore the short sighted
policy of such ancestors, which pre-
vented their section from keeping
pace with others in progress and
development of farming interests.
Every man who opposes good roads
stands in the way of the advance
ment of his children, instead OF doing
them an injury; for the advantage of
good roads will far outweigh the
debts inconvenience.

No doubt next years census is 60
ing to bring some surprises, but there
are some surprises in the old census
figures. For instance, who would
suppose that North Carolina had a
larger population by the census of
1900 than New Jersey? Yet North
Cardinals population then exceeded
New Jerseys by 10, al. And North
Carolina had a larger population
than Virginia by 39,62O. Next year
it will exceed Virginia by over 1OO,-
600. Texas is only the rise of 1 $780,
600 ahead of North Carolina. The
Old North State leads Maryland by
7O5, 766 and Mississippi by 342,54O
and has 39O,924 more people than
Maine and Connecticut put together.
1t has over a half a million more peo-
pie than South Carolina, including
the News and Courier and the Isle of
Palms. Vermont would about fit
into two gifts congressional districts,
while three-quarter section OF Meek
lenburg county contains more people
than the whole State of Nevada.
Watch the North Carolina figures in

President Finley and the Southern
Railway.
Lexington Dispatch.

Lexington Dispatch.
President W. W. Finley is being
given the credit for the great change
that has come over the Southern
Railway. We do not know whether
he is the man, but whether or no,
somebody has wrought a change in
the Southern; and we suppose he's
the man. Trains are on time and
the service is the best the road ever
furnished the public. At the same
time the road is criticised for holding
onto a case of stubbornness in rem
edying defects here and there. In the
case of making connection with the
Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio, a con-
nection the corporation commission
has ordered made, at Marion, the
road has refused. We do not under
stand railroading, know nothing of
the reasons various railroads hold
out against orders ofthis nature, but
it strikes us that the connection
ought to be made, and that by re-
fusing to make it the Southern peo-
pie are not doing themselves any
good. On the whole, however, the
Southern has "cOme out of the
kinks" has made friends by giving
the public better deal, and the peo-
pie are grateful for the service, very
fine service, they are getting now. If
the new president has wrought all
this Improvement, he deserves our
most distinguished consideration. He
is not combining himself entirely to
the immediate business of rail-
reading, either; he is a statesman
who is trying to do what he can for
the development of every Southern
interest shipping, farming, etc.
True, developed country will make
his road richer, but we would not
think of putting his efforts on the
basis of selfishness. 1t seems to us
that the Southern had lucky day
when it secured Mr.. Finley.

Colonel Bryan a Local Optionist

Raleigh State Democrat
Judge Mann. who has been nOmi-

if the Legislature will pass a bill for
local option, he will not hesitate to
sign it. That is about the right
position. Hear what the peerless
one says on this same question:
You once opposed a Statewide pro-
hibition law in Nebraska? Il did, for
the reason that the people in one end
ofthe State had no right to dictate to
those in another part of the State.
County local option seems to be a

1t is. We have quoted from an in

been President long ago.
