are apprOpriating the following
about the Charlotte Observers Sc

For several years past it has been
the custom of the Charlotte Observer
to issue a Christmas edition. The
people who read the Observer look
forward to this specialpaper because
1T Is always full of good and readable
things for the Christmas season. 1t
seems that the Observer gets better
each year and the Christmas edition

best edition OF its kind ever issued by
u North Carolina newspaper. Con-
tanning SIX large sections it was run
ming over from the front page to the
last page with something of real in
terest to every mber of the family
One OF the most striking features
about the paper was the large
amount OF original matter prepared
especially for this Christmas edition.
1t Is an easy thing for any newspaper
to get a lot OF syndicate matter and
fill up with that kind of stuff. but the
Observer was full OF new things, writ
ten ny the people who read the paper
and live within its territory. The
Observer is the foremost morning
newspaper III the Carolnas, and this

Quite good deal has been said in
the papers about the defeat OF the
constitutional amendment in Ala
bama providing for prohibition in
the organic law of the State. Ala
bama already has prohibition. The
people voted liquor out some time
ago, but the radical element. not
satisfied with that, demanded that
the constitution be amended SO that
the law would become a fixture.
This is not ALL Section second OF the
proposed amendment reads as fol-
lows: Nothing in the Constitution
OF Alabama shall be construed to
prevent the Legislature under the
police power from designating places
where such liquors may not be stored
and kept" In other words, under
the constitution as amended police
officers would be given the right to
enter private homes and search for
liquor at their pleasure, and the peo-
pie OF Alabama are not quite ready
yet to surrender the sacredness of
their homes to officers OF the law at
their own sweet will. Gov. Conner, it
is charged, attempted to promote his
political fortunes through the prohi-
bition issue, and the people suspected
his insincerity and expressed their
disapproval at the polls. 1t is a
fortunate thing that the extremists
were defeated, for il they had sue
ceeded the States interests would
have been endangered. No prohibi-
tionists who foams at the mouth is
fit to occupy position of trust and
responsibility. He may be honest
enough but he hasn't sense enough.
We hope the rebuke that Alabama
has administered to the radical ele-
ment will have a good effect all over
the country. The people are in favor
OF prohibition but they are not will
ing to turn the government over into
the hands of the rapid, fire-eating
fools who speak before they think, if
they ever think at all. AS we have
often said before, in the ranks of
temperance men there are more ex-
tremists, perhaps, than anywhere else
in the world, and it is the constant
duty of the leaders of the moral
forces to see to it that onl y the sober,
the temperate and the iudicious are
put in positions of trust and respon-
sibility.

III advent of the Christmas tide
is the text for special messages to
cheer and hel p the poor and unfOrt-
innate The mistake too often made
is this specializing for a single day,
rs tho the charitable and Christian
mission work began and ended with
Christmas.
Another thing it is not the poor
and unfortunate who are the only
needy ones at Christmas. Hunger
and thin clothing cause physical sui
fpring in degree, but there is suffering
greater than these, the lonely heart,
the person who has lost Christmas
thrO' some previous sorrow, and
whose heart is empty for the wants
that love and human sympathy can
give. Many a CHEEKY heart is found
under q thin coat or shawl, because
there is love, faith, and a responding
heart of love, that causes the cold
wind to be unfelt, while under the fur
wraps there may be sadness, and the
wind is felt, for there is nothing to
inspire the heart because of the
absence of that fellow feeling that
makes mans happiness.
But Christmas Is not the one and
only day of the year. Gift giving
with all the Joy and pleasure that ac
companies it, is a blessed event to
giver and receiver alike. And yet it
would be a world barren of heart
lows. il he good efforts were confined
to Christmas. Beyond gift bearing
is the man or woman filled with ap-
probation. and so filled that it runs
over into language that pours forth
upon Others. a preacher, after study
and PRAYER, delivers the message to

eyes may fill, but every member goes
away without telling the minister of
the good he or she has received. A

Pittsboro Record

Pittsboro Record
The death of Mr.. r. B. Raney at
Raleigh last Wednesday deserves
more than a passing notice, and his
life and example may well be held up
to the youths of our country for
emulation. Although he came to
Raleigh when eighteen years old as a
night clerk in a hotel at an insignifi-
cant salary, and, so far as We know,
had never held any office, yet at his
death such honors were paid him as
rarely have been paid the memory OF
any citizen of our State capital.
On the day of his burial there was
public meeting, called by the mayor.
OF large number of most representa-
tive citizens of Raleigh, at which not
only complimentary resolutions were
adopted but a committee was ap-
pointed to provide a permanent me-
mortal that would forever perpetuate
his name and memory. Some years
ago he established and gave to the
city a public building handsomely
equipped at a cost Of nearly fifty
thousand dollars, which was nearly
the amount of ali his earthly posses
siOns at that time.
By his energy and talents, as well
as by his always honorable dealings,
he acquired quite competency, and
far better than that, he acquired the
lasting friendship and esteem of all
who knew him.

PARKER ENDORSES LURTON.

The appointment of Judge Horace
Ii. Lurton to the United States Su-
preme court bench to succeed the late
Justice Peckham, is criticised 10 some
quarters while it is freely admitted
that he is eminently qualified for the
duties Of that high office. Judge
Lurton is one of Mr.. Cleveland q
finds" He a Democrat but has
not been prominent in politics since
he was appointed Judge OF the sixth
circuit Omitted States court by Pres
ident Cleveland, Mach 81, 1893
President Taft was himself a Judge
OF the sixth circuit at the time he
was appointed governor OF the Phil
ippines in 1898, and it was his assO-
citation with Judge Lurton that gave
him such high opinion OF the legal
qualifications of the Tennessee iurist.
1t is said that when President
Roosevelt offered the positian OF as
sociate Justice Of the Supreme Court
to Mr.. Taft, that gentleman declined
and recommended the appointment
of Judge LurtOn. He was not ap-
pointed, however, and now that
President Taft is to fill vacancy he
carries out the recommendation he
made to President Roosevelt
The objection made to Judge Lur-
tons appointment is because OF his
alleged leanings toward the ''inter-
ests," having been a corporation
(railrOad) lawyer and is acceptable
to them. But a man who knows no
law would not have been fit to ele-
vate to the Supreme Court bench
and if Judge LurtOn had not been a
lawyer of ability he would not have
been employed by the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad or any other.
At any rate so eminent an authority
as Judge Alton B. Parker gives this
opinion OF the new appontee:
81 know Judge Lurton, both So
cially and professionally, and in my
Judgment, one better equipped for
service in that greatest OF all courts,
the Supreme Court OF the United
States-could not be found. The
country is to be congratulated"

self been mentioned from time tc

ment which now goes to Judge Lur
