SOLICITORS SALARY BILL.

1t Is the opinion of this writer that
the bill introduced in the Senate to
put solicitors on a salary instead OF
allowing them fees, is a meritorious
bill. 1t is sometimes the case that
the courts valuable time is taken ur
in trying trivial cases for which even
true bills would never have been
found had it not been for the fee
system. Some Solicitors will not
prosecute case unless there is cause
while some will fight to a finish cases
In which there Is no evidence of guilt
1t is not the duty of Solicitor tc
prosecute every defendant who i:
hauled into court, whether there II
any evidence OF. guilt or not. but only
in cases where there is just or prob
able cause. In other words it is tn.
duty Of the Solicitor to prosecute
and not prosecute. In our opinion
the salary basis would expedite cour
proceedings and in many cases would
save innocent men court costs.

can't get over the habit of writing
such rot as the following:
The Wilmington Star says: Re

cred safe investments in this State.
The late William H. Smith, known
as Blow Your Horn, Billy of John
sotn County, shut down the Repub-
lican daily in Raleigh in the seven
ties with the practical remark: You
can't publish paper for party that
can't read Times haven't changed
so much since then"
This will hardly meet the approval
of a single intelligent man in the
State.
1t is safe to say, that larger pei
cent of the $4,000 men who voted
the Republican ticket last fall car
read and write than of those who
voted the Democratic ticket. A live
progressive Republican daily would
have the greatest circulation in the

Washington, Jan. 30.--Looming
up as a grave menace to health con-
ditions in the South is the recent ap-
pearance of deadly disease known
to medical science as "peliagra-
This strange malady is a veritable
scourge In the Old World and the
possibility OF its becoming epidemic
In the Southern States is by no means
remote
For several centuries "pellagra" is
known to have existed in the Old
World. but its presence In the South
has but recently been discovered. 1t
probably has existed for several
years but medical men have failed
to recognize its presence.
"Pellagra" is a malady caused by
the eating of spoiled "maize" (corn)
and produced in persons afflicted
with it sort of intoxication. The
disease generally occurs among the
poorer classes Of the rural population
who subsist largely, or exclusively on
corn most usually prepared by boil
ing corn meal in salt water called
"polentia" in Italy. DR.. Lavinder
states that in pellagrous countries
the corn is often of poor quality,
gathered before maturity and not
properly cured and stored, so that
parasites more easily develop upon it.
Pellagra is both an endemic and
epidemic disease which occurs in
those who feed on diseased maize,
and is characterized by an erythema
of the skin. digestive disturbances,
and nervous Disturbances. It may
terminate in such serious conditions
as grave cachexia or insanity; it is
periodic in it's manifestations, and it
usually appears with the beginning of
spring, ameliorates during summer,
and ordinarily in winter the symp-
toms disappear to such an extent as
often to give the false idea of recov-
cry. So long as the cause persists
however, it re-appears each year.
An interesting theory advanced by
DIR. Lavinder is that if the cause OF
pellagra be accepted as feeding or
spoiled maize, then the maize crop oil
| the United States must in recent
years have Undergone decided change
in some respect, for maize has always
been very extensively used as food ii
the Southern States, and pellagra has
not appeared in former years. This
is subject which, he declares, will
require extensive investigation
should the disease continue to ad
vance.

Special Legislation for the Peerless
One.
Charlotte Observer. !

Charlotte Observer
There seems to be some prospect
that the Nebraska legislature will
adopt for its State the Oregon plan"
of choosing Senators. This plan,
which in Oregon recently operated to
cause the election of a Democrat by
the Republican Legislature of a
strongly Republican State, requires
that legislators shall elect the Sena-
torial candidate who leads in a gen.
eral non-partisan primary. Given the
opportunity, Nebraska voters would
perhaps do for Mr.. Bryan what Ore
gonites did for Ex-Governor Cham
berlain. The highly popular man of
the weaker party may defeat the less
popular man of the stronger party.
Needless to say, this scheme nullifies
the constitutional provision for the
election of Senators more completely
than any other yet devised, and it at
the same time acts as an eraser upon
party lines. Because of the latter
characteristic those Southern Demo-
Gratis who advocate primaries as here
tofore understood most stoutly will
be the last to have anything to do
with it.
In Nebraska Democrats control the
Legislature and State government for
the first time in good many years,
but there is no senatorial vacancy
and Republicans are more than like
ly to recapture the legislature before
one occurs. So Democratic managers
now propose to submit the senator
ship question to the people while
they are democratically inclined and
while the appeals made last fall for
Mr.. Bryan as the States most distin-
guished citizen, focal point of State
pride, the still emotionaHy vibrant
With this END in view, bill has been
introduced into the legislature
Whatever it's fate, we hope that our
ancient friend the Peerless will after
many tribulations finally land jot
somehow.
I'VE have no objection to the
Peerless One having a job if he can
get job without special legislation
but we do not think a special law
should be passed for the special ben.

The President and the Labor Lead
erS.
Washington Times.1

President Roosevelt received the
executive council Of the American
Federation of Labor, and held a
long conference with them. Only a
few weeks ago these men in their
official capacities were attacking
the Presidents choice for Chief Elk
ecutive, and in the midst of the po-
litical turmoil good many bitter
things were said on both sides
Since then, three of the members OF
the council-every one Of whom, by
the way. was present at the White
House gathering-have been sen.
fenced to Jail for violation of the in
junction Of Federal court. Yet
these men are received by the Pres
ident as the accredited and proper
representatives of great body OF
American citizenship. They are
heard at length and with utmost
respect. and doubtless their sug-
gestions will receive full considera-
ton.
Three things are revealed in this
episode:
1. That the country, as represent
ed in the White House, is essential
1y democratic.
2. That, pending the settlement
of the appeal taken by the three SEN
fenced to prison, they have obtain
ed from Theodore Roosevelt every
consideration any other citizen
might have obtained as of right.
8. That this President has under
taken to settle the question discuss
ed at this conference for the good OF
the whole nation and in the light OF
all the facts.
