that the inhabiting of that section

1t is good to note the inquiries Of
the Dutch to North Carolina. Just
as the Scotch settled the Cape Fear

MORE SUCH "CRANKS" NEEDED

AT Johnston county Superior Court

mitted in five cases for selling cigar
cites to minors, and his attorneys
urged Judge PEBBLES to suspend judg-

motion was declined. Judge PEBBLES

by the grand jury in March under
the charge Of Judge Cooke. The Judge
Judge Cooke about selling cigarettes
to Minors
Every time Judge Cooke holds court
he makes a vigorous charge in favor
of the law against selling cigarettes
to minors, and his charges are Of
great educational value What is
needed is that all Judges shall do
likewise, if Judge Cooke is a crank
for making these charges and Sc
curing the indictment Of people Who
sell cigarettes to minors, and if Judge
Feeble is a crank for imposing a
heavy punishment upon them, then

evil that has been inflicted by the
smoking of cigarettes by boys. It un-
dermines their health, destroys their
character. and often makes them i'm
biciles and criminals.
The heavy fines in Johnston county
ought to be a warning to merchants
violating the law, and the local au-
thorities ought to be more diligent in
enforcing it. It is not right to en-
force it only in part, but it should
be enforced everywhere, until the
merchants will be alert to see that
these coffin tacks are not purchased
by boys. 1t would be a great thing
if the authorities in all the towns
would instruct the policemen to take
the names of every boy seen smokine
a cigarette and compel his father to
give him immediate punishment and

OBJECTION TO
NIGHT SESSION
Majority Leader Prince
Would Stop 1t In Session.

N@RN~4 WI C2RRAuCh1C-
Trenton, Jan. 20:-It is the pur-
pose OF Senator Prince. OF Passaic
county, the majority leader of the
upper House, to make q strong stand
against any further night sessions of
the Senate after next Monday night.
The Passaic senator is strongly op-
posed to these night sessions and he
has made a poll of his fellow sena-
tors on the question with the result
that both Democrats and Republl-
cans favored the change, with two
exceptions.
Senator William J. Bradley, of
Camden, vas one of these. He has
large business interests, and in ia
voring the continuation of the even
ing session, he said it gave him an
opportunity to devote more of his
time to the consideration OF legisla-
ton. Senator Gebhardt, of Hunter
don, was the only other senator OPP
posed to 1t. With SO many senators
favoring the abolition of the Mon
day night session, Mr.. Prince will, 1t
Is understood, bring up a motion on
Monday next, doing away with the
evening sessions and making Tues
day morning the first meeting day
of each week.
Regardless of what the Senate
may do, however, the House Will re-
tain It's Monday night sessions. To
the older members of the Legisla-
ture Monday night Is known as "gal-
lery" night. 1t is the one day of the
week that the galleries of both the
Senate and the House are filed to
overlooking, and pretty nearly all
the Legislators, and some of the old
err Ones too, who have fowery
speeches to make usually hold them
until Monday night, so as to gain the
applause from the gallery, which is
always forthcoming.
In a good many cases these
speeches are on trivial matters, but
they serve the purpose of the orator,
even IL the business of the Legisla-
ture is delayed.

to be, a ireproof building is more

Imprisonment For Debt.

About the middle Of the last cen
tury the power Of imprisoning a debt
or for life was taken from the creditor,
and 1t fills one with amazement to
think that a system so ridiculous
should have continued as long as it
did. The three principal debtors pris-
ons In England were the Kings Bench.
the M~arshaisea and the Borough
Compiler. In the year 1850 there were
10000 prisoners for debt In Great Brit
ain and Ireland. The futility of the
system was quite as great as It's bar
barity. More than half the prisoners
In some Of the prisons were kept there
solely because they could not pay the
attorneys costs. Many prisoners had
their wives and children with them.
There was no in1rmary, no resident
surgeon and no bath. Imagine a place
