D|(k Law IS IN EFFECT
Militia on Same Footing With
Regulars.
ORGANIZED and RESERVE
Includes All Able Bodied Citizens
Between 18 and as.


The famous "Dick Law" which
nationalizes, SO to speak. the militia
organizations of the various states by
placing them upon the same footing
as the regular army and making them
a national military organization sub.
sidiary to the regular army in case of
war. went into effect January 81
This law, framed by United States
Senator General Charles Dick of Ohio,
was originally passed by congress in
1903 and was intended to become
operative at once. 1t was readily
seeD, however, that the states could
not change their systems so soon, and
that much time would be needed for
the reorganization. Then it was de-.
cided that the law should go into
effect in 1908, but when the five
years had elapsed it was found that
even then several of The states, among
them Pennsylvania aud Delaware
were not quite ready for the change
and the time was once more extended
to January 81, 1910.
The law provides that the militia
shall consist Of every able bodied
male citizen Of the respective states
and territories and the District OF
Columbia, who is more than l3 and
less than As years of age, and shall
be divided into two classes. the
organized militia and the reserve
militia. The regularly enlisted, or.
ganized and uniformed active militia
In the several states and territories
and the District of Columbia who
have heretofore participated or shall
hereafter participate in the apportion
, ment of the annual appropriation
shall constitute the organized militia
and shall, from now on, have tht
same organization, armament anC
discipline as that which is now OF
may hereafter be prescribed for the
regular army Of The United States
; subject In time of peace to suct
, general exceptions as may be author
r lied by the secretary of war.
, The president of the United States
| 10 time Of peace, has the right to q,
, the minimum number OF enlisted
men in each company, troop, battery
etc.
The law provides that wheneve
the United States is invaded O
threatened with invasion by an
foreign power, or a rebellion agaius
the authority Of the government, o
when the president should be unabl
with the regular forces at bis com
mand to execute the laws of th

LAST FRIDAYS CONTEST

LAST FRIDAYS CONTEST
Miss Gladys Dyer Won First Prize
in Elocution.
The elocutionary contest, given
under auspices Of the Lewis Com
mercial school at the Fraternal
hall last Friday evening, proved
an unqualified success. A large
audience was present and there is
reason to believe that many more
would have attended had the rain
not prevented. Those who were
present could not fail to remark
with words Of commentator the
excellence of the program and the
ability displayed by the contest
ants.
Miss Gladys Dyer won the first
prize, the up-to-date Webster's
dictionary and holder given by
the Lewis Commercial school.
Miss Dyer's selection was "The
First Settlers Story" and her
voice, manner and expression,
presented the word picture and
narrative, its pathos and its moral.
with clearness that brought to
the hearers mind true apprecia-
ton of one Of the finest literary
gems.
To Glen ]. McCaddam was &C.
corded second place in the contest.
His subject was "The Unknown
Speaker" depicting a scene Of
Revolutionary days and imperson-
ating an orator urging the signing
OF the Declaration Of Independ-
ence. Mr.. McCaddam's articu-
lation, gestures, and his manner
of handling impassioped oratory
showed careful study and training.
He chose for his prize the inlaid
gold mounted fountain pen given
by w. M. Lewis.
Jesse H. Crenshaw was pro-
nounced third in the contest, his
excellent recital of the deeply in
teresting narrative told in "The
Montana Road Agent" bringing
out all the fine points Of the selec.
ton and riveting the attention ol
the audience upon the details o1
the thrilling story from beginning
to end. MIR. Crenshaw chose foi
his prize the military brushes
donated by Louis A. Larsen.
The grades of the three leading
contestants were announced by the
judges as follows: Miss Dyer, &C.
Mr.. McCaddam, 95 2-3, and Mr..
Crenshaw, o5. No grading was
announced for the remaining five
contestants, the judges finding
them so evenly classed that nc
appreciable difference in the per
centage of their excellence coulc
be computed. Rev. T. H. Fertif
who announced the decision of tn,
judges, stated that it was the mos
even contest of the kind in hi
experience. He said the clas
deserved special mention on mem
ory, all but one being gradet
perfect on that part of the test.
The audience seemed to appre.
ciate fully the recitations and tn
elocutionary talent of all the con
testants, as all are deserving @
great praise. The remaining fv
contestants were: Miss Hazel B
Walker, who recited "The Fall G
Pemberton Mill"; Miss Lila M
Laird, whose selection was entitle
: "The Mississippi Gambler; Mil
ton F. Bourn, who presented tn
Shakespearian oratorical passage
"The Curse of Regulus"; Mis-
:, Ruth E. House, who recited "Fl,
ing Jim's Last Leap" and Fran
A. Mitchell, who described tt
battle of Saratoga as told in "Tt
Black Horse and His Rider"

where she has no vote or voice, has
no concern and is not an integral

LOCAL OPTION, AGAIN.

Once more, we will repeat, that it is
not any desire of ours to enter into a
controversy on the saloon question,
and hope that we may be spared that
necessity, but the Herald is paper of
Pemiscot county, and as such, must
contend that our people have certain
inalienable rights under the laws of
the land, and these rights must be re.
spected.
Now, to make long story short
the four-year period of local option
will expire on June IA, and many peo-
pie in Pemiscot county desire to test
the sense of the voters as to whether
the saloons shall return, and for this
purpose, to get the election ordered,
petitions have been circulated in near
ly every part of the county, and freely
signed. These petitions are now ready
to present to the county court, and
it is supposed that the court will
grant the prayers of the petitioners.
In preparing these petitions, and in
presenting these petitions to the county
court, the people ar. acting entirely
within the bounds of their legal rights,
as they have a right to do, as the law
sets out how these elections may be
ordered and voted upon.
We believe in granting every man
his legal right. and in this instance
the free and untrammeled exercise OF
that right is all the people want and
all they ask. 1t is not for us to say
how much these rights are to be re-
spected, but it is safe to say that il
these rights are not respected there will
be something doing otherwise and
elsewhere.
This is not an argument for nol
against the saloons, as that is fac
the people desire to settle at the polls
and not in print.

FROM OUR EXCHANGES,

The best way to test true friendship
is to watch the actions of those who
propose to be your friends in time of
dire distress. When adversely over
takes you, and perhaps sickness and
misfortune comes upon you. Then it
is youcan Judge what tmanner of friend
ship is really contained in the hearts
of those who have said they were your
friends. Not every one who processes
friendship when one is in good health
and prosperous, will be found true
when it comes to the time when we
really need friends.

In StoddaId csunty there is now
probably one of the smallest citizens
in the state. He is tyenty-one years
of age, is forty inches in height, and
weighs seventy five pounds. He is
normally developed in all other ways
except as to size, and is AN expert
bookkeeper and accountant. His
name is H. f. Milligan, and he lives
with his father on Cline's Island near
Avert in that county.

THE COUNTY PRINTING.


The Hayti Hearld did not bid on the
county printing which was advertised
by the county court to let at this term,
for the reason that we do not believe
in "cut-throat' methods, and if we can
not get work at Legitimate and liv-
ing price, we have too much honor
and manhood to force other printers
to accept the work at a less figure.
We do not blame the county court, and
feel confident that the court would
rather see the work divided up be-
tween all the papers and the county
pay fair price for it, as the various
newspapers continually labor for the
best interests of the county, and the
citizens can never lose by paying them
the paltry sum that legal rates would
make for legal advertising.
In this connection, every county Of
fetal who can, should see that the pat
ronage at his disposal, is divided, as
near as possible, between all the news
papers, and for one. the Herald will
te thankful for any little morsel
thrown this way.

"We really can not believe that
our sister city of Hayti would be
benefited very much by the estab-
fishing of saloons there again. 1t
has never been shown to our salts
faction that these places are es-
sential to the growth or prosperi-
ty of a city or town. They pan
der to the worst side of mankind,
they create no corresponding val
ues for the expenditure of money,
and they place light before d pit
into which are likely to fall many
men and boys and girls who, other,
wise, might lead blameless lives

Thus quoth the "ThoucanG Eyes"
But is it necessary that the people
of Pemiscot county shall bow to the
dictates and show things to the salts
faction of the Argus alone? Are there
not other people to consult and other
people to satisfy, in all this broad
and great county?
Clean your own doOryard.
If saloons are lights before pits;
Charlottesville has a number of we'll
lighted pits, and if they are such
awful things, why don't the good peo-
pie over there proceed to get rid of
them?

THE PRESS CONVENTION.

space than We have at command
to give anything like an account
in detail of the convention of the
North Carolina Press Association
at Wrightsville Beach Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday OF last
week. 1t was perhaps the best
attended convention in the his
tory of the Association and the
papers and speeches were OF a
high order. The people of Will
mington and Wrigntsville Beach
certainly did themselves proud in
entertaining the convention. The
hospitality was simply royal. The
Tidewater Power Company gave
free transportation on the street
cars to every wearer of the AS
ISOLATION badge, and Friday eve
ming this company gave a de-
lightful japanese dance at Lum-
ina, it's beautiful pleasure resort
at the Beach. One of the most
delightful events Of the entire
occasion was an excursion Fri
day from Wilmington to South
port, given by Capt. ]. W. Har-
per on his steamer"W Wilmington"
Capt. Hap is never so happy
as when contributing to the en-
joyment of others and he won
the hearts of all his guests by
his hospitality; and the same
might be said with equal truth of
all the Wilmington newspap-
er men and others who labored
so tirelessly to make the visit of
the editors and their friends to
their city pleasant.
Thursday evening a banquet
was given at the barrymore ho-
tel, where the sessions of the
convention were held, by the
newspaper fraternity of VIII
mington. At this banquet a most
exquisite tribute was paid to the
greatest editor North Carolina
has produced Joseph Pearson
Caldwell, of the Charlotte OBJ
server, upon whom the hand of
affection has been laid and whom
his fellow editors always delight
to honor. To the right of the
POSTMASTER a vacant chair was
turned to the board, and flowers
decorated the vacant place. Beau
tiful tributes were paid the
Wounded Lien," as Julian, of
the Salisbury Post, termed him,
by several of the speakers.
Among the resolutions passed,
the Association went on record
as favoring the erection of a suit
able monument to perpetuate
the memory Of Edgar William
Nye, the famous humorist who
lived and labored and died ir
North Carolina; favoring New
Orleans as the most suitable
place for holding the PROPOSED

that the next Legislature wi.
pursue a more liberal policy to

bers of the press to aid in ever
possible way the great work tn

for the prevention and cure {
