ALPHONSO CALHOUN AVERY.

North Carolina has had no truer or
more loyal sol than Alphonso Cal
0 Avery, a man who in peace and
in war has served it faithfully and
with devotion not surpassed. On the
battlefield in the Civil War he was
among the bravest of the brave who
enlisted in the service Of the South,
and serving to the close, was Colonel
A. c.. Avery. A lawyer Of distin-
guished ability he won high place as
a Superior Court judge and as a mem
Der OF the Supreme Court bench of
North Carolina.
Judge Avery was one Of a family
which in all its history has given dis
tinguished service to North Carolina,
his fOrebears on both sides of the
house having been signers OF the
Mecklenburg Declaration of indie
pendence, and both risked life and
fortune in the War Of the Revolution
In all succeeding generations the
name of Avery has been found
and there is a proud heritage left tc
coming generations who bear that dis.
tinguished name.
The history of Judge A. c. Avery i.
linked with that of North Caroline
and adds to the brilliancy Of its pages

FOR QUICK ACTION.

lie Cd.1 OI lIlS (OuiltIN ~ tItS .oSi-
ate of the United States is that it so
forward without delay in the passage
Of the new tariff bill. That it has been
hindered by the insistence Of protect
ed interests which have been feeding
on the people is recognized; that the
special interest lobby has been at its
throat is just as clearly felt, but the
course Of the Democratic majority is
plain. 1t should put into statutes the
pledge of the Democracy as enun-
ciated at Baltimore, and it should do
SO with dispatch. The country knows
the promise Of the Democratcy for a
tariff for revenu only.
Delegations Of clothing manufacture
ers from Cincinnati and Cleveland are
quoted by the New York World as
| saying that they did not give a rap
for the tariff; they could make mems
and women's clothing in competition
with any country or earth; and all
that they desired was a definite an
nouncement in advance as to when
the measure would take effect. They
could then regulate their contracts
and avert anything like detrimental
consequences" Tha is the right
spirit, for American manufacturers
should be able to meet the world in
competition, and meet all with sue
cess.
: Tina this is the position Of the
legitimate business world is not to be
doubted, but it is also rue that there
is "~business' which is delaying action
by the Senate on the tariff bill. With
this in mind the Norfolk Virginian-
Pilots statement that quick action is
needed is correct, its editorial read
ing:
That this statement reflects the at
titude of the great bulk of the manu-
f%acturers Of the country towards the
pending revision Of the tariff may be
safely assumed. They realize that the
level Of the existing duties is going to
be materially lowered, and they know
that the reasonable reductions con
templated will not affect their ability
to hold the domestic market aeains,
foreign competition. They would al
course, prefer, as q general rule thai
things should remain as they are. bu,
they have not only accepted the in.
evitable but have anticipated and
largely discounted the effects of i.
coming. What the manufacturers ar<
mostly concerned about now is tho,
the work Of revision should be com
pleted with the least possible della
f to the end that they may know nr0
cisely where they stand and no i,
' position to make such timely adiuSt
ments as the changes effected IN ~,
various schedules may neceSc;+oto

the business world has its source :,

IN THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE.

The decision Of the Supreme Court
of the United States on Monday in
the case Of the people against the
Minneapolis and ST. Louis Railroad
Company. continues to be discussed
throughout North Carolina, with par
ticular interest at this time by reaSon
Of the fact that it has a direct bear
ing upon the work of the Just Freight
Rate Association of North Carolina.
Since the organizing of this assocla-
ton it has been argued by the rail
road officials hat the work Of the
association was premature, and would
be of no value because the Supreme
Court was going to hold that the &C
ton of the Minnesota Legislature,
which is seeking to regulate the rates,
was confiscatory.
This decision, taken in connection
with the understanding that Governor
Craig will within a very short time
call a special session of the North
Carolina Legislature to consider the
matter of freight rates for this State,
is deemed to be one of the most i'm
portant features bearing upon dis
elimination by the railroads against
the best interest of North Carolina in
favor of those in other states.
The railroads contended in the Min
nesota case that to allow the acts of
the State Legislature to stand would
mean loss of property, and sought to
enjOin the State to prevent a reduc-
ton in the transportation rates. The
decision of the Supreme Court is con-
sidered by attorneys to be one of the
most important ever delivered in this
connection, and it is believed by all
who have investigated the case care
fully that materially the position Of
the North Carolina shippers, espe-
cially in view of the fact that a higher
official on one of the trunk lines de-
clared a few weeks ago that if the
railway won in the Minnesota case,
the North Carolina shippers would not
have a leg. to stand upon, and it is
now argued that his statement has
two sides, and that the victory of the
shippers in Minnesota forecast the
victory Of the shippers in North Caro-
lima.

Chief Mike Riley Rules for Year
Over Younger Members of

Chief Michael Riley hunched up
his shoulders, stuck his finger in his
mouth. and frightened his grip on the
collar of his dog, Brigand.

he had just been elected to the high

considered on its merits and meets
with approval.
The sentiment that has been
sought to be created against it by
the press bureaus of certain great
New York financial interests is not
shared here. The peril to the coun-
try from the vast concentration of
the control of credit in a few hands
that has assumed such gigantic pro-

He is king of the kids and his rich
brogue and antics, together with his
fascinating countenance, with the
map of old Ireland on his face, make
him almost adorable even to a

Mike and his dog, Brigand are
bosom friends. Mike rides Brigand
like a horse and man handles" him
in a manner which would try the
patience of a proverbial saint Not
withstanding this Brigand is faith
full to his little master and wherever
little Mike trudges Brigand is at his
heels.
Mike likes camp life and is the
happiest little fellow on earth He
hasn't a care in the world but has a
temper any Irishman would envy.
