ANOTHER CASE OF INTENSE
RACE HATRED.

There seems to be an intense race
feeling aroused in California against
the Japanese A bill is pending be
fore the Legislature of that State TO
prohibit the Japanese from owning or
leasing land.
President Wilson has written the
Governor o. that State urging that
such a law should not be passed as
it would create a very strained re-
lation between this country and the
government of Japan. But it seems
that California is so inflamed on this
race question that the Objectionable
bill will pass.
The fact that it has been possible
to stir up such a race feeling over
the Japanese question in California
will. no doubt. cause the editor Of the
News and Observer to wish that a
large number of the Japanese could
be imported into North Carolina so
as to enable him to use that race is
sue. (since the negro question has
been played OUT, TO stir up race feel
ing in our State.
He and Senator Simmons would be
able, no doubt, to use in this State
such an intense race feeling as now
exists in California to distract atten-
ton from the miserable misgovern-
ment of the State by the Democratic
State machine, and especially from
the Infamous mortgage on the State
which the Simmons machine deliver
ed to the corporations and trusts with
the consent Of the said Josephu:
Daniels.

STATE RATES AND STATES

An unexpected development in the
State rate cases, which have been
pending before the United States Su-
preme Court, occurred Monday when
the Department of Justice obtained
the permission of the court to file a
brief as friend of the court
The contention of the government
in the brief was that the Interstate
Commerce Commission is supreme
over State rate-making bodies, and
may annul State regulations in the
disguise of State rates, when Inter
State Commerce is affected substan-
TALLY thereby.

MIR. Webb Of south Carolina
The Youths Companion has pub
lished a picture OF Congressman
Webb. OF the Ninth District Of Our
State. but has labeled 1t Mr.. Webb
Of South Carolina" The Youth =
Companion was mislead. no doubt. in
the placing OF Mr. Webb n South
Carolina BY the fact that when the
monument TO commemorate the b@tse
a. Kings Mountain. which vas fought
By North Carolina troops, 10 save the
State from invasion OF British troops
has beer erected. not on North Caro-
lima soil but on South Carolina soil,
Just across the line.
Mr.. Webb has made more than q
little effort TO have his name con
neCted with the Kings Mountain bat
tie and monument. and il Is natural
that the Youths Companion should
have fixed IN its mind that the King
Mountain battle was in South caro-
lima. that MIR. Webb must have also
been from the same State.
II is true that most of the fighting
between the patriotic troops OF North
Carolina at the foot of Kings Noun
tain was on South Carolina soil, but
the troops were North Carolina
troops. They crossed the State line
to meet and engage the enemy so as
to prevent them from invading the
State of North Carolina. This is eX-
actly what the patriotic Green Noun
tain boys Of Vermont did when the
English troops. then in New YORK,
| started to invade the State of Yer
mont.
The Green Mountain boys organlz-
ed at Bennington, in Vermont, and
marched over the line into the State
/ of New York, and met the British
soldiers at a point seven miles dis
tant from Bennington, and there de-
feated them. The people OF vermont
did, not put the monument at the
sight of this battlefield, on the SOL
of New York, but they erected mag
nificent monument to the memory Of
these Vermont boys, at Bennington
on the soil of Vermont:
The monument to the North Caro-
lima heroes at the battle of King
Mountain, should have been built OF
the North Carolina soil, and located
in the town of Kings Mountain, o.
this State, also just seven miles from
the battlefield.
If Mr.. Webb cannot have the mon
ument removed and placed in King
Mountain, then he should take steps
to have another monument erected II
this town, to the great valor OF ou'
patriotic heroes.

SIMMONS AND GOODWIN GET \
Jolt.

Some days ago Senator Simmons
and Congressman Goodwin recom-
mended a man named Furlong for
postmaster at Wilmington and asked
President Wilson to send his name
TO the Senate for confirmation. Some
of the citizens of Wilmington pro-
tested and claimed that Furlong was
not suitable for the place, and the
peopIe didn't want him. The Presl-
dent held up the appointment and
told Messrs. Simmons and Goodwin
that he had decided to appoint a Mr..
Green postmaster, but would give
them a chance to endorse Mr.. Green
if they so desired They took their
spanking and endorsed the inevitable.
This was a complete turn down for
Simmons and Goodwin and shows that
their recommendation to the Presi-
dent are not worth much, and some
times nothing.

EVIL EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL
Investigations Among Soldiers Show
That Liquor Lessons Enduring
Qualities While Marching.
tBy COL. L. MERvIN MAUs. Medical

(By COL L. MERvIN MAUS. Medical
Corps, United States Army
During the Swedish alcoholic in
vestigations among soldiers number
of picked non-commissioned officers
and men we're selected for rife prac-
tice The tests covered number of
days, part of which time the men
we're tried out with small quantities
of alcohol, about 11s ounces OF
brandy. The results were invariably
the same. When alcohol was, taken
during quick fire, the hits were 80
per cent less, although the men
imagined they were firing quicker.
When slow aiming was allowed the
difference was so per cent in favor of
abstaining days. During the march
ing tests some of the men were al
lowed alcohol, while others were de-
prived of it's use. The drinking men
were found far inferior In marching
and enduring qualities, besides all of
the sunstrokes and heat exhaustions
occurred among the drinking class.
AS result Of these experiments the
Austrian soldier is not allowed to
carry brandy on his person, as was
previously the case.

MADE YOUTH A SAILOR
GREAT MAN REMEMBERED HIs
PROMISE TO BOY.
Had "Fought for Jackson" and the
President Redeemed Partial Prom
lse That He Had Made Some
Years Before.

The subject of Mr.. Stephen Bonsal's
stirring biography, Edward Fitzger-
aid Beale," was the son of Paymaster
George Beale, who served with distinc-
ton under Macdonough at Lake Cham
plain, and of Emily, the daughter of
Commodore Truxtun of the famous
Constellation. Young Beale, as a
member of two naval families, there
fore, had what was regarded in the
old navy as a prescriptive right to en-
ter the service.
With the advent of President Jack.
son, all such rights were brushed
aside, and the claims of young Beale
might have been overlooked except
for fortunate and characteristic in-
cident.
The boys of Washington, where the
Beales spent their winters, were ar
dent politicians. like their fathers. and
they were divided by allegiance to
antagonistic statesmen. The disputes
between the Adams partisans and the
Jacksonians grew SO bitter than the
boys decided to settle all their politi-
cal differences once for all by the an
cient test of battle.
Ned Beale was the Jacksonian
champion, and the Adamsites were
represented by a boy named Evans,
who afterward became a distinguished
citizen of Indiana The fistic battle
was appointed to take place under a
long arch, which at that time marked
the southern entrance to the White
House grounds.
While the battle ragged and the en-
thusiastic spectators applauded, a tall
figure suddenly appeared, scattered
the boys, and Selling Beale by the col
lar, asked him why he was fighting.
He replied that he was fighting for
General Jackson, and that his oppo-
nent had expressed a poor opinion of
the presidents politics and person
atty.
Il am General Jackson" said the
man. II never forget the men or boys
who are willing to fight for me, but
do not wish them to do it all the time.
Now put on your coats"
A few years later, when Beale
reached his fourteenth year, his desire
to enter the navy became overwhelm-
ing. One afternoon he called at the
White House with his mother to see
General Jackson and ask for a mid
shipman's warrant.
Mrs. Beale told her story, and spoke
of the fact that her boy was the son
and grandson of men who had served
their country and been wounded in
battle. Jackson listened with cour-
tesy, but seemed uncertain how he
should act. Suddenly the boy inter-
rupted his mother.
Mother, he said, "let me speak to
General Jackson"
He then reminded the president of
the fight and the promise he had
made, at least by implication, to serve
him whenever the opportunity pre-
scented.
Without word, General Jackson
tore off the back of letter lying near
him, and wroteito the secretary of the
navy, "Give this boy an immediate
warrant" and handed it to Mrs. Beale.

Treasure Hard to Get At.

News that fresh attempt is to be
made to recover sunken treasures
from the ship General Grant recalls
the story of that i'll fated vessel. She
sailed for London from Melbourne in
1866 and was wrecked off the Auck-
land islands. For two years her dis
appearance remained a mystery. Then
chance led to the rescue of a few sur
vivors, who told how the vessel had
been dashed against cliff 400 feet
high and in sinking had been swept
into a cave at its base There for
close on half a century the wreck has
lain in fourteen fathoms of water,
with treasure to the value of $780,
900 in the bullion room to tempt the
treasure hunter. The estimate may
be an exaggeration, but the report
has already attracted five well
equipped expeditions The swirl of
the tide and the deadly backwash
within the cave have SO far defied the
efforts of the most skillful and daring
divers to reach the treasure 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the sixth
attempt will share the failure of its
predecessors.

all men. without exception, would de-
clare it impossible to conceive of any
more diaboical plan for the deprada-

is so evident throughout our land in

TO PREVENT LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Governor HaInes Heartily AppIauded
for Stand He Takes on Enforce
ment Of Statutes.

Once and only once during the read
Ing OF Governor Haines' splendid inau-
gural address. says the Portland Even
ing Express, did the members of the
legislature and the interested specta-
tors break forth in hearty and sponta-
neous applause. This was when he
spoke of the liquor law.
Il shall do all in my power during
my term of Office" said the governor,
to encourage the honest enforcement
of all our statutes against the liquor
traffic; and ask all good citizens who
have the love of their fellow-men at
heart to join with me in this undertake
Ing. especially ask the press of the
state, without regard to its political
or party allegiance, to help in creating
public sentiment against rum selling
and rum drinking. 1t can do more to
help or more to hinder in this cause
than any other influence in the state.
No one can doubt the curse of intoxi-
eating liquors to those who use them.
Science has proved their certain de-
struction to health and life. Business
no longer tolerates them. The man
seeking employment with rum on his
breath finds no work, but is relegated
to the realm of trampdom. The bust
ness man who INDUCES in its use very
soon finds that he has no credit at
the bank. The transportation compa-
MES do not find it safe to employ men
who drink The farmer who returns
home from town drunk has the con-
tempt of his neighbor, his wife and
children, and their pity and sympathy.
The professional man who was once
called brilliant, with the remark that
1t is too bad he drinks Is now called
fool for throwing his life away. No
sane man in the light of modern inves-
tigation and science, can give any ex-
cuse for the use Of intoxicating liquors
or for the grog shops from which they
are dispensed.
"The man whose business 1t is to
sell liquor in violation of law is, as a
rule, too lazy and shiftless to do any
thing else. He is in that business for
the money he can make out of it, and
when once he has engaged in it, he be-
comes so demoralized that afterward
he is disqualified for any other voca-
ton. The money he takes, especially
from the laboring man, to whom he
does the most harm, cannot be spent
for clothing, food or other necessities
or luxuries of life"
