Davis Name to be Restored.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 22nd.-Of-
fetal amends for the sensational
elimination OF Jefferson Davis name
from the stone tablet on Cabin John
bridge, six miles West OF this city,
during President Lincoln's admins
tration, is given in directions the
President issued today through the
Secretary of War to the chief OF en-
gineers OF the army to restore the
name.
The tablet is on the bridge that
arches Cabin John run on the Mary
land side of the Potomac river, a
structure famous for years AS the
longest single span stone bridge in
the world. The bridge carries the
conduit which brings WashingtOn's
water supply from the upper Poto-
mae. 1t was begun under Davis as
Secretary OF War and when ne joined
the Confederacy and became its Pres
ident, his name, under government
orders was chiseled from the tablet.
Repeated efforts to restore it have
been made. At the 1907 convention
OF the Daughters Of the COnfederacy
at Richmond n resolution was adopt
ed asking for the restoration Of
Davis name, and Representative
Meyer. of Louisiana. sought unsuc-
cessfully to have this carried out.
The erasure OF the name was by di-
rection of Caleb Smith, LincOln's Sec
rotary of the Interior, after sugges-
ton by GaIusha Grow, of Pennsyl-
vania, then Speaker of the House.

THE HENDERSON GOLD LEAF-THURsDAY,
Attitude of New President on the
Race Question.
Norfolk Virginian-Pilou.

Norfolk Virginian-Pilor.
Mr.. Taft's reference to the race
question contains nothing III disquiet
or to displease the South. There is
10 intimation OF an intention or OF q
desire on the part of the new admins
tration to force on this section the
alternative of reinfranchising the IL
literate and irresponsible elements OF
citizenship or of having its represent
tation in Congress and in the Electo-
raj College reduced in proportion as
that element has been deprived OF the
suffrage privilege On the contrary,
the President, by implication at least.
approves of the suffrage legislation
which the Southern States have
adopted to eliminate the ignorant
and the vicious from their electorate.
The tendency of this legislation. he
says. is toward the enactment of cleo
tOral qualifications that square with
the Fifteenth Amendment. "and so
long as the statutes of the States
meet the test Of this amendment and
are not otherwise in conflict with the
COHSUituCIOH anu ldWS ol the CHiteu
States it is not the disposition or
within the province of the Federal
Government to interfere with the
regulation by Southern States OF
their domestic affnirs." If this utter
ance means anything, it may certain
ly be reasonably construed az an as
surance that the Administration just
now beginning will leave the South
alone in regard to the race question.

The March Everybody's.

''Let the buyer bewarer' John Parr
says is the watchword of the Wall Street
manipulation. His article in the March
EVerybOd.ys is called '"rhe Stock Yards
of New York" and is the second shot
fired against the ruinous practice of mar
gin gambling. 1t shows by the citing of
actual cases how the big spectators beat
each other out of money that they have
wrested from the unsophisticated out
slider.
The air OF the Jungle, the breathless
mystery of the haunt of lion and rhinoc-
eros, are in Z. Bryson Taylor's article,

National Prohibition.
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte Chronicle
The prohibition crusade is attract
ing attention ut the national capitol
and Congress is being pressed to sup
press the sending of liquor into dry
States, a Kentucky Congressman
having introduced a bill to that eff
feet. This is but another step OF the
Anti-Saloon League, leading up to
national prohibition-tO make the
United States dry for all time. As
matters stand, there seems to be no
diminuition in the consumption OF
whiskey, as the United States Treas
ury Department reports no loss III
revenue from liquor sales, receiving,
as much money now as 1T did before
the drought set in. And it is argued
further, that in Maine, the govern
ment has issued between 1000 and
5000 liquor licenses. The prohibi-
tionists have knOwledg of these facts,
and it is to reverse lis situation
that they are working to make all
the States dry. This could never be
done by q direct vote of the people,
but it could be brought about by leg
islation. 1t is for that reason that
more than ordinary interest attaches
to the pressure that is beginning to
be felt in Congress.

Long Step Backward.
News and Observer.

News and Observer.
The action of the House Yesterday
in taking the enforcement of the bird
laws from the hands of the State
Audubon Society and turning it over
to the authorities of the several
counties is long step backward.
There is real need of the protection
of birds in North Carolina. The
Audubon Society has done a great
work in North Carolina. The en-
forcement of the game law to be ef-
fective must have State direction and
State uniformity.
North Carolina has been a leader
in the matter of protecting it's birds.
Under the leadership of Mr.. Gilbert
Pearson the laws of this State have
come to be recognized as the models
for other States, and Mr. Pearson
was called last week to Mexico to
give advice as to the best bird laws.
The future protection of birds de-
ponds upon upholding the men who
are enforcing the laws that have the
approval of the State Audubon Soci-
ETY. and that have demonstrated
their efficiency. These laws can, of
course, be improved, but it would be
backward step to change the laws
as the House bill contemplates.

The Honest Man Helped.
New Berne journal, Feb. Goth.

The news from Raleigh, that
the repeal of the HON 4stead law has
been reported without prejudice, is
the best OF reports, and When the
homestead law becomes dead to Il
certainty, it will be the best piece OF
legislation enacted during the pres
ent assembly.
The repeal OF this law removes ii
burden from every honest man in
North Carolina. This law once needed
served its purpose years ago. Since
then it has placed every honest man
beside the man who would be dis
honest. 1t has been a handicap to
every young man who wanted toem-
bark in mercantile life, eSpeciallyifh his
means were moderate. for he was
forced to face this law, which every
would be creditor knew, and which
those granting him credit, feared he
might accept as a refuge for an en-
pmption, should financial trouble
over take him.
The very fact of this homestead
law, as a possible refuge, has no
doubt inspired men to dishonesty,
at least to take chances in business.
that without the law, they would not
have taken. Personal honesty, in
divdnal integrity has had no chance
to grow in North Carolina, be..au~-
of this homestead law, aud with it's
repeal the credit of the men of Mort h
Carolina will gain immensely. From
now on the honest and dishonest
tradesmen will he separated, a. they
should be. The man who wants to
may now build up a name for bust
ness integrity, with only himself ac-
countahle Those who may want to
grant credit to tradesmen, can do SO
to the limit of their confidence in the
tradesmen.
The repeal of the homestead law is
worth more to the business interests
OF North Carolina than all other laws
that could be passed. The truth of
this will soon be discernible.

The current iesue OF the North

" by The North Carolina Society OF
the Daughters of the Revolution is
an exceptionally interesting number.
1t is given over almost entirely to
discussion of the Mecklenburg Dec
laration OF Independence, Mr.. A. ):
Salley, Jr, presenting the facts ana
arguments against the declaration.
and Mr.. Bruce Craven evidences ana
argument in support OF it. Their
contributions are in the nature OF IA
debate, Mr.. Salley presenting his SIDE
of the case and Mr.. Craven replying,
Mr.. Salley replying to Mr.. Craven >
reply and the latter having a second
rejoinder. Anything like summary
of the facts and arguments advanced
by each is impossible here, as both
have covered the ground very fully
and their contributions, while not
long in the sense in which the term Is
usually applied to such productions,
contain a mass disappearing and non
supporting testimony in regard to the
declaration. Mr.. Salley, as one OF the
"doubters" makes out Il strong case
for his side, the strongest perhaps
that could ;be made by anyone who
sets out deliberately to prove that
an established historical incident did
not occur But after one has finished
reading his article he is by no
means convinced that the last word
has been said as there are many
vulnerable places in it, even to the
casual reader. To the critical mind
OF Mr.. Craven, we'll stored with all
the daoa bearing on the matter,
these discrepancies OF Mr. Salley's
article are only too evident and when
one has finished reading his article
he feels that the last word has been
said and he can lay down the book
with the feeling that the story has
been we'll told and that there is moth
ing more to be added and no room
to doubt the authenticity OF the
declaration.

Editorial Shots from the Durham
Herald.

When they think that trust bust
ing is no longer popular you will see
how soon they will drop it.
Mr.. Roosevelt and his policies at
least did not leave the country in a
worse fix than they found it.
II we were as willing to be pleased
a. Mr.. Taft seems to be to please us
the thing might work out better.
While they are talking about what
was done by the Legislature. some
of US are tickled over what it did not
do.
Ii some Of US did not try to make
trouble for Mr.. Taft we would not
be living up TO our political reputa-
tiOns.
About the only disinterested wit
ness for the defense in the Cooper
case is now in Jail on a charge of
perjury.
The Legislature has been very busy
for two months passing laws, and
vet we were getting along very we'll
without them.
The sooner the farmer learns that
he will have to help himself out of
some of his difficulties the better 1t
will be for him.
To us the most encouraging fea-
ture of the whole business is the way
the members ignored the instructions
of the party leaders.
Az We have had a fairly good
opinion Of Mr.. Roosevelt all the while
we have nothing to add to it now or
anything to take back.
1t must have been something of a
shock to those who have been having
the Legislature do pretty much what
they wanted them to do.
There seems to be some doubt as
to whether some of the gentlemen
wanted to make trouble for the
trusts or capital for themselves.
To the uninitiated it would seem
that self-defense would be pretty
hard to prove where two men have "a
fight with one and succeed in killing
him.
If Mr.. Taft goes to appointing
Southern Democrats to office they
will set up the claim that he is trying
to change the electoral vote of this
section.
1t is foolish to try to blame Mr..
Kitchn for what the Legislature has
done Mr.. Kitchin had nothing to
do with it and neither did some
other people.
After the threats he had made it
would seem that Colonel Cooper was
a little slow on the draw il he was al
lowed Carmack to fire on him twice
without getting in shot.
We did not know what the Legisla-
ture was going to do and did not
particularly care after it became ap-
parent that it was not going to be
carried off it's feet by the clamorings
of the politicians.
We still believe that the COopers
were hunting for Carmick with the
intention of killing him, but also be-
| lieve that the later was at least
aware of the intentions of Colonel
Cooper and thought he was prepared
for him.
Notwithstanding what the trusts
| have done to us most of us are doing
fairly we'll The newspapers feel that
they are being robbed by the paper
