Newspapers in Eastern Washington
are urging members of the legislature,
now in session at Olympia, to change
the criminal laws of the state by In
creasing the penalty OF the crime of
bribing or attempting to brihe a pub
lie officer in the exercise OF an off
cial duty. At present the crime Of ao-
cepting a bride is in one statute made
punishable by Imprisonment in the
penitentiarv for not more than seven
years. and a fine not exceeding ST.
600. and in another statute by I'M
prisonment in the penitentiary not
more than ten years and a fine not
exceeding $4,000. On the other hand
the crime of bribing or attempting TO
bride a public officer is punishable
only by imprisonment in the county
Jail not more than a year or a fine
not exceeding $1,000, Under these
laws, it is pointed out, a judge or other
official who accepts a bribc might be
sent to the penitcntiary for ten years,
while the man by whom the bride Is
offered could get off with a nominal
fine and escape Imprisonment entire
~. 1t was urged that the penalties
for bribe-giving should be equal II not
more severe than those for bribe-tak-
ing.

Gigantic Business of One Southern
Industry.
Charleston 6. c. Post.

Charleston 6. c. Post.
Impressive figures were those given
out yesterday at the annual meeting
in New York of the stockholders of
the Nirginia-CarOlina Chemical Com
pany, showing a business done last
year by all branches of that corpora
ton amounting in the aggregate to
nearly $45, 100000. This, it was
stated. showed an increase of more
than $0,OOO,OOO over last years
business. And, best of ali from the
point OF view of the stockholders of
the company. was the showing that
the net profits for the year had been
Sd, 100000. When it is remembered
that practically all of this business is
done in the South and that, though
it is by much the largest, the Virginia.
Carolina Company is only one of u
number of fertilizer and oilcompanies
operating in this section, and that
fertilizer making and oil producing
are-the one before and the other
after-only subsidiary industries to
the growing of cotton, and that the
growing of cotton is but one of many
industries of the South, when these
things are considered. it may be pos
sible to get an idea of the scope and
volume of the wealth producing activ-
tiles OF this great section of the
United States.

Remarkable HQnors Paid to a Negro
Woman.

Weldon, N. c., July 24.-The most
remarkable funeralever held in North
Carolina took place here yesterday.
when the remains of "Aunt Lucy"
Kersey, who committed suicide in
Wilmington Tuesday morning, were
laid to rest in CedarwOOd cemetery
"Aunt Lucy" was only a colored
woman, but her heart was right and
her principles were right. She had
lived in the household Of Dr. l. E.
Green here for thirty years and prior
to that time she lived in the home
of the late Rev. R. 0. Burton, for II
years. Only few colored people at
tended the funeral, but there was a
large assemblage Of white people
prominent in two counties and the
pail bearers were Hon. W. W. Wig
gins, mayor of Weldon; j. A. House,
sheriff of Halifax; Hon. W. E. Daniel.
for twelve years solicitor for the
Twelfth district; S. NJ. Gary, clerk of
Halifax superior court; A. E. Wilson,
son of the former chairman of the
corporation commission; W. L. Stain
back, travelling salesman for Garrett
& Co., Norfolk.
Is there such another instance in
all history where white men of promi-
hence acted as pall-bearers at the
funeral of a colored woman, and where
the remains were laid to rest in the
family square of prominent physi
clan in a white cemetery? But there
was Il reason, and it was eminentlv
proper that the remains of Aunt
Lucy" should be so honored. She
was born in Warren county near
Manson, of free parents, before the
war, her father having been h tavern
keeper on the old stage road from
Manson to GAINESVILLE, Va. 1t was
here that DR.. Burton first saw her
and induced her father to allow her
to become IL member of his house
hold. She lived with the family for
seventeen years, nursing and caring
for the children. Later she came to
Weldon and for thirty years lived at
DR.. Green's house and nursed all his
children. In all that time she had
never spent ii single night outside OF
his home until "a few weeks ago when
she went to Wilmington to visit DR..
Green's daughter, Mrs. j. B. Foun-
tain. 1t was there, during a fit of
temporary insanity, she went into
the cellar and hanged herself with d
small rope.
The service was read by Rev. H. H.
Phelps, and Rev. p. n. Stainback
made a few timely and very appro-
pirate remarks touching the life and
character of the woman who was
honored as few of US are honored in
our final rest.
Everybody in Weldon knew and
respected ''Aunt Lucy" and the many
beautiful floral offerings attested in
some degree the esteem in which she
| was held in the community.

Suicide of an Aged Negress.

Suicide is not frequent among
negroes, and. especially among the
older members of the race is such
thing very rare. The act of self-de-
struction on the part of an aged
negress in Wilmington occasioned
much surprise. An account SAYS:
"Despondent on account of con
tinued i'll health and suffering from
dyspepsia, Lucy kersey, colored, SO
years old, committed suicide by hang
ing herself in the basement of the
residence oil Joe Fountain, Jr.. where
she had been staying for n short
while
She came from Weldon having
lived with DR.. Green, father OF Mrs.
Fountain, about thirty-years.

The Vance Guards, Co. C, returned
Sunday morning all safe and sound,
but somewhat tanned and fatigued,
from the Third Regiment encamp-
ment at Morehead City. Capt. B. F.
Payne is proud OF the record made by
his company. There were no casual
ties, no sickness of any consequence
and the company bore off some of
the first honors. In the target shoot
ing Corporal W. O. Wyckoff made
the highest score of any man in the
Regiment, 120 out OF a possible $50.
Capt. Payne made 1O7, Private
Thomas Afford JOG, Privates R. J..
Turner and A. Piper 1O4 each, Pri-
vate J. p. Evans 1O2.
OF the Regimental staff Capt. C.. J..
Smith of Henderson, Inspector of
Small Arms Practice, made the high
est score, '1O3. Capt. A. McAllen,
Regimental Chaplain. formerly pas
tor of the Henderson Methodist Epis-
copal church, made 90, a fact which
won him the title of the "shooting
parson."
In the rife contest 50 men in the
Third Regiment qualified as marks
men and there was great improve
ment shown in the lower grades.
That the regiment has made wonder
full improvement is shown by the fact
last year only three qualified in the
marksmen class. In the Second Reg
iment, which encamped week before
last, fifty qualified.

COMMENTING on the recently pub
lished statement that the Standard
Oil Company has perfected process
for making butter from petroleum,
the Montgomery Advertiser says:
"When they get to making butter
actual butter, bear in mind-of Pc
troleum, we hope the laws will COM
pei them to so label it that we can
tell what we are eating. When we
butter our batter-cakes we want to
know whether the material we are
greasing them with came out of a COW
or an oil we'll. Ignorance may some
times bea blessing, yet even blessings
may be overdone
ii the imitation is SO nearly the
real thing that you cannot tell the
substitute from the genuine, what
difference does it make? There is also
another adage which runs that where
ignorance is bless it is fully to be
wise. However, the labelling should
berequired that the public may know
what they are buying and not be
imposed upon in the price.
IL writing about the recent death
of we'll and widely know physician
of Arson county, Judge r. T. Ben
nett gives his view of the ideal doctor,
and pays high tribute to the noble
hearted, faithful members of the pro-
fession, saying this among other
things: "No more useful man can be
found than the medical doctor, wise
i'll lis generation, scrupulous in the
discharge of duty, sympathetic with
patients, his lightness of touch and
manner in the sick room cheering the
sick, upholding the weary-laden and
assuring hope" Commenting on
this the Charlotte Chronicle says:
"Such was the character of the man
OF whom he wrote, the physician who,
healing others, himself could not heal
The doctors who attain this ideal are
those who SOW blessings that flower
in fragrance long after they have
passed away" We have all known
this type of the physician, whose life
and services it is too often the case
are not appreciated as they should
be until after they are gone. God
bless the honest, highminded, SELF
sacrificing doctors.

Decision Not Derogatory.

In announcing the selection OF the
Middle or Piedmont route, through
New York and New Jersey via Gettys-
burg, Pa, Hagerstown, Nj, the
Shenandoah Valley Of Virginia, Roam
oke, Salisbury, Charlotte, Spartan
burg, Greenville, Anderson, S. C., to
Atlanta, as the great North and
South National Highway, the At
lanta Journal says:
This decision in no way operates
against either the capital-to-capital
route or the Bristol route. 1t simply
means that, as they are at present.
the two other routes are surpassed by
the one that lies between them. The
capital-to-capital highway from At
lanta to Washington and New York
may in time be built from end to end
OF it's length, for there can be no man
more progressive than Leonard TUFTS
OF Pinehurst, N. c., president Of the
capital-to-capital highway associa-
ton, and there can be no more har-
monious or determined body than
that which he heads. The western
route, too. through Bristol and Chat
tanooga, will doubtlessble realized in
the very near future, for the Journal
scouts found the influential citizens
along that route deeply stirred by
the possibilities that lie within their
reach.
But for the present the middle
route alone is feasible; and the mid
die route becomes the official high
way.
On each of the other routes the rep
resentatives of the Journal encOun-
tered beautiful stretches of road. But
those were more than Offset by other
stretches, sometimes a hundred miles
long, of roads that were hardly ira
versible.
Nor is the middle route perfect
throughout it's length, for otherwise
there would have been no great rea-
son for the scouts to travel 1900
miles more after they finished their
original survey. Here and there in
it's length there are bad places which
will either be put in good condition
before the endurance run they will
be avoided.
