Cause and Effect.
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot

Norfolk Nirginian-Pilot.
We note the statement of Jud Ge
Holt, of New York that an habitual,
incorrigible enemy OF society should
be solemnly adjudged to be put to
death. 1t is true that, like many
Northern men, he applied this state
ment chiefly to lynchers, forgetting
that lynching is not now, il it ever
was, typical Southern crime. That,
however, was merely injecting prelu-
dice into common sense, and the fact
remains that what is needed is new
principle which will distinguish be-
tween those mental maladies which
take pernicious homicidal form and
those which merely Y incapacitate their
victims.-Richmond Virginian.
The learned iurist also forgot to
mention that the failure Of the organ
lied tribunals of justice to rid society
of the inveterate Ishmaelite is the
chief reason why civilization North
and South is sometimes driven to
protect itself by summary methods
beyond the pale of law. The made
quacy of the legal machinery to the
task assigned it begets popular i'm
patience of the uncertain processes OF
the courts. 1t is an exceptional case
in most American states whereof an
assassin is exacted the penalty which
the criminal code attaches to his act.
Laxity in the enforcement OF law
breeds contempt of the law. Judge
Lynch is the natural and inevitable
product of lax administration OF
Justice.

THURSDAY, AUGUST %, 1910.
Falsifying History.
Norfolk Virginian-PilOt

Norfolk Yirginian-Pilot.
Virginia never legally. SO to speak,
seeded. 1t is true a bowling mob
scared the convention, the majority
of whose members were elected
pledged to vote against secession,
into passing an ordinance OF seces-
sion conditioned upon the approval
Of the act by the people, but the
same mob proceeded at once as
though the act had been submitted
and approved. Yet it never was.
Deter to New York Sun.
Neither OF these statements is in
accord with the facts. Public feeling
in Richmond was much excited after
the collision in Charleston harbor had
occurred, but the convention paid no
heed whatever to Unpopular clamOr,
and under the leadership Of John b.
Baldwin who presided over the body,
steadily voted against secession I'M
til Mr.. Lincoln's call for troops, pro-
mnlgatcd April >, 1861, forced upon
Virginia the choice between aiding in
the coercion of the South or Joining
ief fortunes WltH the bOIIltueId dCy.
This precipitated the passage of the
ordinance The adoption took place
April II by vote of 81 to 81, but
subsequently the signatures OF 14G
delegates were affixed to the solemn
act, only n few from the region now
forming West Virginia having held
out against the manifest will of a
great majority of the people.
The correspondent is also in fla
grant error when claiming that the
ordinance was never submitted for
popular ratification or rejection.
Polls were opened throughout the
State on May 20 and an overwhelm-
ing majority OF the qualified voters
gave their approval to the step taken
by their representatives after all Ell
forts to heal the breach between the
sections had proved abortive.
We will not undertake to decide
whether the above extract was writ
ten in ignorance or in malicious pur-
pose to deceive, but the Sun should
not give place to statements which
are at variance with the version OF
every reputable Northern historian.

MoreheadPs Triumph and What it
Means.
Charlotte Chronicle.


The Chronicle had expected to see
Morehead win out in the Republican
State convention, and had soil so,
but it did not think that he was
going to have a walk-over-for walk
over it was After all it's bluster and
brag. the opposition or rather the
machine, had no showing whatever.
1t was humiliating defeat for the
Duncan faction. but it must be said
to the credit of that crowd that it
took its medicine without a whimper
and raised no objection to the nomi-
nation of Chairman Morehead by
acclamation. 1t was an unexpected
victory for Morehead and it means a
revolutionizing of Republican man
agement in North Carolina. The
party leadership will undergo a radi-
cal change and an entirely new regime
will have been inaugurated AS a
Democrat, The Chronicle could not
tell the truth were it to say that the
Republican organization in North
Carolina has not been immensely
strengthened by the selection of
Morehead as the head of the party.
1t has been strengthened and an en-
tirely new situation confronts the
Democratic party. In the Republican
camp it means house-cleaninr and
new alignment. Coincident With the
unanimous endorsement of Morehead
was the hurrah for Taft. And in that,
the North Carolina Republicans ad-
mitted the wisdom of Taft's Green's
boro speech and served notice to the
people that they had given heed to it.
He would be a fool who would not
admit that the Republican party in
this State does not now occupy a
stronger position than it has yet oc-

Who's Behind Butler?
New Bern Sun

New Bern Sun.
The Greensboro News asks concern
ing Butler, care those irrepressible
bond holders behind him? Are they ex-
pecting legislation favorable to their
contention in the event Mr.. Butler's
astute campaign results in a Repub-
lican legislature" 1t is very likely
that some one is back of Mr.. Butler,
and we do not believe he is employ
ing all those stenographers and
rooms at the Atlantic Hotel for the
love of the party, and It's more than
probable that these bond holders are
behind this old fox, and it is not
probable that we will have any Re-
publican Legislature, but if we did
have and they were of Buffers type
they would not hesitate to sell the

Did Not Have The Grit.

Greensboro Record.
If the new Republican organization
had the grit of Tom Settle there
would have been an open pro-
nOuncement in favor of local option,
alias liquor, sure enough. Tom be-
lieves in coming out and saying
plainly what he wants. Still, Tom
had as we'll understand that all of us

well on one occasion, the "twO p's'

he meant, Mr.. Witkowsky said
"preachers and petticoats." And it IS
true, though from the recent vote on
state prohibition it looks like the

All of US admire a game fighter
whether he is on our side or not.
Men OF all parties know and appre-
ciate the ability of Thomas Settle.
He is one Republican who never runs
away from a joint discussion. His
first entry into politics was in 1886,
when he was pitted against R. B.
Glenn for solicitor. Their campaign,
which was memorable one, resulted
in Settles election. Four years later
he was opposed by another giant, W.
W. Barber, of Wilkes county. Then
in 1892 he and A. 81. A. Williams
had it out for Congress, followed in
1894 by A. ". Graham, and In 1896
by ". W. kitchin. All these were
truly battles OF the giants, and W.

From Kentucky.

From Kentucky.
Lexington, KY, Aug. 1S-It is
generally believed that the r. J. Rey-
nolds Tobacco Company, Of Winston
Salem, N. c., has bought all or nearly
all the 1909 pooled crop of the Bur
ley Tobacco Society, amounting to
12O,0O0,O00 pounds. No statement
was made by either side today but
the executive board suddenly ad-
jOurned until Tuesday after stating
that the aid of the Reynolds concern
had been accepted. The price is an
average of Is cents fixed by the Bur.
ley officials.
NOTE:-Since the above press dis
patch was sent out and after the ar.
ticle was put in type, the secretary
OF the r. j. Reynolds Company in
Winston is quoted as saying that the
figures have been greatly exaggera.

In memory of past events, think of

out of the same gourd.
We fancy the Greensboro News will
eat it's portion of crow and try to
swear it is sweet.
Gentlemen, will you have your
crow straight, or with acid dressing?
The ludicrous part about it is that
it all ended up in a love feast.

"Our Republican friends got cold
feet the other day on the liquor ques-
ton. They managed to put in a
short paragraph about local self
government but they handled it
gingerly, when it has been known
that Settle and his like have been
mouthing for years for straightout
fight for liquor. Promises were held
out to the liquor element that the
fight would be straight and they
were waiting to get into it, but they
are disgusted, likewise mad. The
understanding is that in wet terri
tory the party is to tell about what
it is going to do for prohibition; in
dry territory it will be just the op-
posite. The candidates and cam
paigners are going to try to carry

 For diseases of the ears, nose, throat and lungs, catarrhal conditions which can not be benefited otherwise are birn- ed out with the most powerful, yet harm less, ozone gas, which kill every germ penetrating into one inch of tissue.
 Electro Radio Library
 Here we have the most unique library in the world today. Think of such vol umes, subject as radium. liquid air, electro-therapy light rays. Finsen and X-Ray, Electro-Radio and a thousand volumes of other subjects worth tholts- ands of dollars. representing the brains and achievements of all the cleberated discoveries in the past 9 years. Many of these books are the only ones in existence and can not be bought at any price. Here the experts spend all their spare hours talking over the case of each patient, Eug- gesting the proper methods to pursue to get the quickest and most efficient re- sults Many times it is In the wee hours when they depart-the work is so interesting Many cases treated here are put before clinics in Europe. The doctors have saved many of their patients from cancers and other dangerous growths when the patients were being treated for some minor ailment, never dreaming such a condition threatened them. The doctors always keep these things to themselves, not wishing to frighten the patient. but they treat and remove many unknown eases, then re- port what they have done to the chief Of staff. as in the case of Mrs. A. M. Moi fett, who was possibly saved from can cer of the stomach by commencing in time. She is now out of danger and has not felt a pain since she begun.
 Those who appreciate the endeavors of the experts are many, but possibly no one has thanked them in her own heart as much as Mrs. l.. E. Goodwin who was cured of galstones without the knife She is now being treated with good results for catarrh.
 Perhaps some of the most remarkable results which has been achieved for Bir- mingham people are the cases of MT. J. NJ Brown of 1918 Fourth avenue. who Is a meat cutter by trade, who suffered with Liver, Kidney and Stomach trouble to such an extent that he could hardly attend to business. After the third treat ment he began to sit up and take mo- tice, and is now loud in his praises to his friends about Elecor- Radio Methods.
 MT. B. P. Leslie of Bessemer, Ala, en- gagged in the sewing machine business, was so discouraged by those who were preiudieed that he decided to discontinue the treatment He was persuaded, how ever to continue and Is now very thank ful that he did, as he is improving very rapidly.
 MT A P. Burch of Blount Springs was so deaf that he could not hear an ordi- nary conversation. After taking some few treatments he was heard to say that
