THOSE LOCAL BILLS.

The little local bills are again hay
ing their day in the Legislature. The
bills to prohibit throwing trash in
Juniper Creek and other similar bills
are taking up the time Of the Legis-
lature. 1t would seem that these
matters could easily be attended to
by the authorities in the various
counties, and if they haven't such au-
thority then pass just one law giving
them the power to control sach mat
tiers and let the Legislature pass up
on matters of general interest to the
State. Every Legislature spends the
most Of it's time in considering local
bills about which they know moth
ing, and often-times careless, with
the result that the important bills
have to be rushed through at the
close Of the session and without
proper consideration.

BRYAN AGAINST HARMON.

Those Democrats who are advo-
eating the nomination of Judson
Harmon for President in 1912 have
some hard shedding ahead of them.
While Bryan will hardly attempt
the race himself still he is a factor
that the other Democratic leaders
must reckon with-and Bryan does
not like Harmon. Governor Harmon
refused to work or even vote for
Bryan when he was nominated, and
consequently Mr.. Bryan and his close
friends will not warm up to Mr..
Harmon as their candidate for Pres
ident. The next Democratic conven-
ton may nominate Harmon, but that
will be far short of an election.
In fact we do not believe that the
Democrats would stand any show
Of winning even with all their fac
tons united on one man, and we
feel very sure they cannot win with
their forces divided.

PoU AND K1TCHIN CONTEST.

There is storm brewing in the
North Carolina Democratic colony in
Washington. When the next Con-
gress meets the Democrats will be in
control of the House. and they are
already quarreling over who shall
receive appointments on the various
committees.
Congressman Kitchin and Pou are
both in hot chase for a place on the
Ways and Means Committee, and
there is much feeling between them
and their friends.
Some days ago it was announced
that Pou had withdrawn from the
chase and that he would probably be
appointed chairman of some minor
committee. But he must have found
that his chances for appointment on
some other committee are very slim,
for he is again working hard against
Kitchin. This fight threatens to split
the North Carolina delegation at the
very outset.
And the North Carolina delegation
is not the only one that is having
troubles. The Georgia delegation

A member of the Legislature has
introduced bill requiring the South
ern Railway to operate additional
trains on their line between Colds
boro and Greensboro. We do not
know whether there is need for addi-
tional trains between Goldsboro and
Greensboro, or whether the company
should attach extra coaches to the
trains they are now operating. But
that is not the point. In our opinion
this matter should properly come un-
der the supervision of the Corpora
ton Commission. If the Commission
hasn't such power. then the Legisla-
ture should give that body the power
to regulate such matters; they are
In better position to treat the mat

COUNTY CARRIES OFF
THE STATE PRIZE.

The Hickory Times-Mercury, COM
menting upon the success of Mr.. w.
Ernest Starnes of that county in
winning the prize over the whole
state in the Corn Club Contest, says:
"It is source of much gratifica-
ton to the people Of Catawba Coun-
ty that one Of our own boys carried
of the prize in the State corn con-
test. Catawba takes the cake in
most every contest"
The Times-Mercury has also no
doubt noted how few Democratic
papers in the state have published
and commented on this fact. Is it
possible that this is because Mr..
Starnes belongs to the party of pro-
gress and prosperity?
It is also noticeable that not a
single Democratic newspaper has
published the fact that The eau
casian gave free trip to Washing
ton to the winner of this prize.
When last spring the Secretary of
Agriculture appealed to some public
spirited citizen, newspaper, or or
ganization to offer a free trip to
Washington to the young man in
each state who should win the prize,
The Caucasian was the first to re-
spond from this State and its offer
was accepted. We of course did not
know then whether the winner would
be Democrat or a Republican. We
did it, however, from state pride and
to help a most worthy cause that
was destined to mean SO much for
the uplift of our great agricultural
interests.
We submit that it is not good for
a great State like ours to be ruled
and dominated by a political ma
chine that is so blindly and intense
~ partisan.
Those who hold partisanship
above the truth and the welfare of
the state are not fit to govern the
destinies of our brave and patriotic
people and the future of our great
state.

FIGHT FOR REPUBLICAN VIC
TORY JUST BEGUN.

The MI Airy Leader. commenting
upon the action OF the recent Repub-
Iican State Committee meeting at
Greensboro, and also upon the per-
sistent Democratic press reports be-
fore the meeting TO the effect that
Mr.. Morehead had called the meet
ing for the purpose of resigning as
State Chairman, says
John Morehead did not re-
sign, as predicted, but he and
the committee did some things
that will prove very pleasing
to his friends"
The Leader Is right when 1t says
the Committee did things that would
prove very pleasing to Its friends"
Every action taken by the Committee
was wise and showed that we are no
logger run by a referee machine,
but that the chief purpose OF Mr..
Morehead and the organization Is
party growth and success.
The resolutions passed were COM
prehensive and forceful and attract
ed wide attention. Indeed, every
body has been pleased by the action
of the Committee, except the Demo
cratic machine and those Republi-
cans who did what they could to try
to discredit Chairman Morehead and
to knife the ticket in the last cam
paign.
OF course. Mr.. Morehead did not
resign. Instead Of giving up the
fight, he has just picked his flint and
rolled up his sleeves to begin the
real fight for Republican victory in
North Carolina.

Preacher Living in the Church.
Statesville Landmark

Rev. G. Parker Lackey, colored, is
the shepherd of the flock that wor-
ships at the Congregational church
in Rankintown, the colored settle
ment on the north side Of town. The
congregation has no parsonage, or
manse, or whatever the Congrega-
tionalists call the preachers house,
and the Rev. c. Parker Lackey has
been living in hired house. Re-
Gently the owner of the house, de-
string the domicile for his own use
and he requested the Rev. G.
Parker Lackey to vacate. Thereup-
on the divider of the word moved
his household goods and gods into
the church yard near by and took
up his abode therein. This was
some weeks ago and at last account
the preacher was still living in the
church.
Many of the members of the con-
sregation, it is said, were indignant
at the pastors action, and some of
them offered to pay months
house rent for him IL he would
move out. But for some reason
the reverend prefers the church
as place for abode and at last &C
count he was holding the fort
Some OF the disgruntled members
proceeded to hold services in a
schoolhouse near the church, on &C
count Of Lackey's family living there,
but it is said the Rev. G. Parker
Lackey went TO the schoolhouse,
nothing daunted, and joined in the
worship.
What the outcome will be re-
mains to be seen.

The Georgia Democrats Have Also
Served an Uultimation on Their
New Leader.
Washington, D. c., Jan. 10.-With
the organization of a Democratic
House nearly year away, the
threats of instruction against the
assumption of authority by Champ
Clark, slated for the Speakership;
and his immediate lieutenants, have
materialized into declared opposition
on the part Of Georgia delegation.
An ultimatum was carried to the
prospective Speaker by a committee
of three, bearing the staement that
the Georgians, by unanimous vote
had declared that Representative
Brantley of that State must be re-
tanned on the Ways and Means Com
mittee. when selected by the coming
caucus Of the Democratic members
elect OF the Sixty-Second Congress.
AT the same time Representative
Pou, OF North Carolina, issued a
statement, in which he announced
that he had not authorized any one
to declare that he had withdrawn as
a candidate for a place on the COM
mittee.
Representative Broussard, another
Democrat on the present Ways and
Means Committee, Is known to have
ideas just as decided on the subject.
Some OF Mr.. Pou's friends say that
the North Carolinian will get the
support OF majority OF his delega-
ton and that Mr.. Kitchin, his col
league, will lose strength.

have the court declare void the cor
poration OF 1899, whereby the Stan
dard Oil Company, of New Jersey,
with It's increased capitalization ex-
changed it's stock OF the stock for
ninteen other oil corporations. which
controlled in turn great many more
such corporations. It Is claimed that
this amafgamation OF the stocks Of
all these companies in the Standard
Oil Company, Of New Jersey, result
ed In combination more closely
and efectua1ly held together than
before and In restraint OF trade. The
resultant control OF oil through the
subsidiary corporations Is said to
constitute a monopoly. Both results,
the Government contends, are In
violation Of the Sherman antitrust
Law.

4 recent Essue Of the SmItansld

the condition n which theEounty jail
il kept. or rather unkept The pris-
oners are not half fed. are kept In
cold cells and worst OF all, are forced
to make the acquaintance Of a veri-
table army of body lice. The recent
grand jury In Johnston County visit
ed the jail and made q report that
will call for some indictments The
portion Of the grand jury's report in
regards TO the condition in which
they found the prisoners was as fol-
lows.
I'VE have inspected the coun-
~ Jail and find the same In an
unsanitary condition. The pris-
oners complain OF being half fed
and cold, and their bodies are
infested with vermin. We rec
ommend that the prisoners con-
to some other Jail or guarded
until said jail can be fumigated.
We also suggest that the iron or
steel framing inclosing said pris-
on be re-painted and that a new
lock be put on said Jail door and
new lights be put in lieu Of those
broken.
1--WE extend our thanks to the
Court and officers for their cour-
tesies shown us.
Respectfully submitted,
&c. B. McCullers,
"Fore of Grand Jury"
After the report of the grand
jury, the judge ordered that the
county physician examine the unsan-
itary condition of the Jail, which he
did, and we understand that the doc
tors report confirmed the one made
by the grand jury.
1t would seem that the sheriff,
jailor and a few others down there
are liable for indictment.
This Democratic incompetency and
criminal neglect of the officials in
Johnston County has not been pub
lished in the News and Observer or
any other Democratic paper that we
have seen. 1t is characteristic of the
News and Observer, and others of it's

GOVERNOR KTTCHTs And THE
ANTITRUST LAW.

determine Just what Governor kisca-
in meant in bis message 10 the Leg
sslature wlth reference TO the pres
ent Democratic anti-tTuat Iaw. lie
xays I've do not know whether By
way OF lament or apology that the
present Law has not been afforded al
opportunity TO demonstrate what can
be accomplished under IL. Then
next he proceeds to insist that some
more positive force be injected Into
the measure.
We suppose he means By this. that
at least one or two old teeth Of the
worthless variety should be inserted
into the present toothIess Law. IL
Governor Kitchin Is in earnest on
the trust question, and means what
he said In his campaign for election
before the people, why does he not
squarely ask the Legislature TO pass
the Texas antitrust law. which has
been tried and proven TO be full of
teeth. and good teeth? II Ia to be
regretted that Governor Kitchin did
not explain to the Legislature and TO
the people In his message why 1t was
that the present toothless antitrust
law had not had an opportunity to
show what could be done under It
Did not the Governor promise the
people that he and his Attorney
General would vigorously enforce
this antitrust law? Has not the
trust evil during the last two years
in North Carolina been as great and
even greater than 1t was in
the year when Governor Kitchin
was elected? How strikingly con-
trasted is this inaction and hypo-
crisy on the part of Governor Kitchin
and the Democratic party in the
State to the great record which is
being made by the National admins
tration in enforcing the Republican
National antitrust law!
The report of the Attorney-Gen-
eral of the United States, reviewing
the past years work of the Depart
ment in the enforcement of the anti
trust laws, shows that actions are
under way or pending against the
following trusts:
STobacco Trust, Standard Oil
Company, Sugar Trust, Harri-
man Lines, Hard-Coal Trust,
Powder Trust, Terminal Rail-
way Association of st. Louis,
Towing Trust on the Great
Lakes, James A. Patten and
others for an alleged corner in
cotton, Beef Trust, Wholesale
Grocers' Trust, Butter and Egg
Trust.
Others were fined as follows:
Paper Trust, $4,000; Night
Riders, $500; Window-Glass
Trust, 100000"
Since this report was issued, the
Trust has been convict
ed and a fine of $17,500 imposed
upon the corporation, and two of the
officers of the trust have been sem
fenced to three months Jail each.
Also, an injunction has been secur-
ed against the Hard Coal Trust, and
begun declaring it an
illegal combination and in conspir-
acy with the railroads to advance
prices.
In this connection it should be re-
that every trust that has
ever been indicted and convicted in
this country under national laws has
been indicted and convicted by laws
passed by the Republican party. The
so-called Democratic antitrust law
passed under the Cleveland admin
istration has proven to be as tooth
less and as big fraud and a hum
bug as Kitchin's State antitrust law.
The Democratic antitrust law was
such a transparent fraud that the
Grover Cleveland administration
never even attempted to indict
single trust under it.
