WHAT OF HIS FAMILY?s

In police court at Winston-Salem
last Friday white man named John
Carter was sentenced to the chain
gang for five months for having fail
ed to provide support for his wife and
child.
The evidence introduced at the
hearing showed that the wife and
child were in destitute circumstances.
1t was shown that the husband was a
worthless fellow and deserved punish
ment, but what is to become of the
wife and child? How have they been
benefited? Before the husband was
sentenced to the chain-gang he car
ried home some provisions occasion
ally.-now he will not carry any.
If Carter was a single man, or no
one dependent upon his labors for
support then he should do time for
the county of Forsyth, but in this
case, and in other similar cases, it
appears to us that the worthless hus-
band should be hired out by the city
or county and the value of his SER
vices be paid to his destitute family.

What the Legislature Failed to Do.

Gentlemen:-As the Legislature
has adjourned, we can now view it's
work. If it has enacted any law that
is beneficial to the State at large, ex-
cept Mr.. Cobb's bill, providing for the
establishment of Rural Life schools,
by the cooperative action of the State
and counties in which such schools
will be located, fail to see it, but on
the other hand, it seems to have as
near Legislature of special inter
ests" as any that has assembled in
the last twenty-five years. The Tor
rens Land Title System, which would
have been of greater benefit to the
farmers than any other bill intro
duced, seems to have been defeated
by the special interests lawyer"
and it is to be hoped that every news
paper in the State will publish the
vote as was cost on this bill and let
it stand in their paper as warning
for the future. The forest protection
was important, but the Torrens Land
Title bill would have put the farmer
where he could have used his land
or any of the various tracts that he
might own, the same as he could a
bond, and why not the farmer have
the same advantage as others? -and
he will have, when they do not lei

North Cardinals Manufactures.
Baltimore SUM-

Baltimore Sum-
Not many years ago North Carolina
was almost entirely an agricultural
State. But the rapid development of
it's manufactures of tobacco, cotton,
furniture and cotton-seed products
has put it in the front rank of man
ufacturing in the South. The CEN
sus bulletin just issued shows that
there are in operation 291 cotton
mills, with 3,124,884 spindles, turn
ing out products valued at $72,6S0,-
900 a year. It's tobacco manufactures
reach the sum of $35,987,000; its
lumber and timber products, $685.
525, ZOO, and it's furniture production
$685., 1000.
The utilization now in progress of
the almost unlimited water power Is
certain to result in an even more
rapid growth in manufacturing es-
adjustments, bringing with it in
creased population and wealth. Bal
timore is the natural wholesale mar
ket for the North Carolina merchant,

had no small part in increasing the

The Catawba County News, Demo-

schools.
And that is not ali. They not
only did nothing for the public
schools, but refused to allow any one
else to do anything to help the poor
children secure an education. Those

right to furnish free textbooks to
the children in their counties were
denied the right to help advance the

TWO BIG REFORMS DEFEATED BY
DEMOCRATS.

The Democratic party has for years
professed to believe in an income tax
and I'm the election OF United States
Senators by direct vote Of the peo-
pie. That party has loudly declared
In platforms and on the stump In IA
vor of both propositions, and de-
nounced the Republican party as be-
ing opposed TO them. Yet when the
test In honesty and sincerity between
the parties comes, what does the rec
ord show?
In the last Congress. thirty-three
Republican Senators voted In favor
of a constitutional amendment pro-
viding for the direct election OF Unit
ed States Senators by the people,
while only twenty-one Democrats
voted for 1T. II, however, ali the
Democrats who voted against this
measure, to which they were pledg-
ed. had voted for 1t, 1t would have
been adopted by the necessary two
thirds majority OF the Senate.
AS to the other reform, 1t was a
Republican Congress that submitted
to the Legislatures OF the States the
constitutional amendment for an in
come tax. It now appears that
enough Legislatures will vote against
the adoption of that amendment to
defeat 1t, and that its defeat would
be due to the adverse votes of the
Democratic Legislatures. The last
Democratic State Legislature to vote
against the amendment was that OF
the State of Arkansas.
History is simply repeating itself,
and will continue to repeat itself
by showing that whenever the peo-
pie want any great reform of any
kind adopted, that they have to look
to the great, progressive, construc-
tive Republican party to do it. The
Democratic party is always loud in
making promises to the people, but
they have a long and almost unbrok.
en- record for refusing to keep any
important promise. On the othel
hand, when the Republican party
makes promises to the people, those
promises are kept, and besides, the
record of the Republican party is tt
do more even than it promises. Tha
is, when an occasion arises for some
reform to be adapted, no matter
whether the Republican party has, il
its platform in the past, pledged it
self to the people on that specific
measure or not, that party Away
arises to the occasion and does wha
the public good requires.

Chairman-changed from a Republi.
