The controversy between Mr.. REM
bert and the Anderson Intelligencer Is
no quarrel Of ours; but as 1t involves
men who are under public considera-
tion, it is a matter Of news. We did not
publish the Intelligencer's original ar
ticle, because we had no inclination to
seek a controversy. The Pee Dee Daily
published the original article from the
Intelligencer, and very properly pub
lished Mr.. Rembert's reply. The Intel
ligencer also published the reply, ex-
cept the last letter Of Mr.. Rembert,
with reference to which it says in a
note: There were other enclosures in
Capt. Remberts letter, but as the above
is in direct response to what we pub
lished, we saw off here" We do not
see anything wrong with that, especial
ly since the new editor having had
nothing to do with the original publi-
cation, did not care to give circulation
to further personal attack to which
attack he would have felt bound to al
low a reply. From the Intelligencer also
it appears that Mr.. Thackston's letter
was not published in full. Mr.. Rem
bert having added this note: This Is
not the entire letter, but only so much
as refers to article" Now comes Mr..
Beard back at Mr.. Rembert in the
Pee Dee Daily, and his letter is also
printed today.

It is pretty self-evident that II the
courts sustain the contention Of Comp
troller General Jones as to the taxabil-
ity of non taxable bonds when held by
banks, the banks will be unable to hold
the bonds. Taxes in Yorkville are
pretty close to per cent, and bond
bearing per cent interest, If taxed,
would therefore net only per cent.
Under this situation there would be
nothing for the banks to do but to get
rid Of the bonds by selling them to in
dividuals, within or outside the state.
1t is very generally understood that
but few individuals return bonds for
taxation whether they are taxable or
not, and while of course South Caroli-
mas act making a bond Of this state
non- taxable could have no effect in
another state, that is matter Of small
consequence as tax lodging Is about as
common in other states as this. II the
contention of the comptroller general
is sustained in the proceedings now
pending It will make very consider
able difference in the matter Of tax re-
ceipts in the case Of towns, school dis
tricts, counties and the state at large.
But what Is to be sought more than
else is right and justice.

There is developing throughout
North Carolina a strong sentiment
against the election Of lawyers to the
legislature. The old, old argument that
1t was desirable to have in each dele
CATION a man who understood law, and
who could speak, is being met every
where by the claim that good statutes
are a matter Of common sense, rather
than of smartness in technicalities,
and that lawyers who do not go to the
legislature as employees Of corpora
tions, become such employees as soon
as they are able to demonstrate that
they are Of enough force to be Of value.
OF course general movement like this
is said to be calculated to work injus-
tice on some, for among the legal pro-
fession are men who are as straight
forward and patriotic as are the fol-
lowers Of other vocations; but never
theless it would be better to have no
lawyer representatives at all than all
lawyer representatives.

Crops are pretty good throughout the
county, Notwithstanding, and If cot
ton brings a good price. farmers will
not fare SO badly.
According to our view of the matter
the Parr Shoals robbery is first Of all
another illustration Of how easy 1t Is
for thieves to make a big haul and get
out Of the country by means of an au-
tomobile. It is up to the lawmakers to
try to provide some means Of meeting
the new problem. ~.
The Enquirer has procured and will
print at an early date an authentic
story of the building of the Panama
canal The story will be illustrated
with half tones, and 1t will be worth
while in giving our readers full and
comprehensive information about this
stupendous enterprise. H'
AZ to the extent to which the cam
ming business has progressed, The
Enquirer has no definite information;
but of one thing there can be no dis
pute, and that is, that for every can

In the circuit court this week Is an
other Of the numerous cases that go to
prove the necessity and justice Of the
adoption of the Torrens system. Land
was sold Under a decree Of partition.
After the land was purchased and be-
fore the purchase money was paid, the
purchaser paid a lawyer TO look up the
title and was told that the title was
good. Then later on certain plaintiffs
living in another state came forward,
complained that they were not made
parties to the suit, and demanded of
the purchaser their share of the p1r
chase money. The purchase money had
already been paid out by the court to
the known heirs, and as those heirs do
not happen to be financially RESPONSE
BILE, the original purchaser OF the land
Is called upon to answer the plaintiffs.
If the court holds that the plaintiffs
have good title, the defendant will be
forced to make good their share, and
otherwise the defendant will still have
to pay attorneys fees. Under the Tor
rens system none Of this could have oc-
Cured The state would have looked
up and guaranteed the title, and even
though the unserved plaintiffs might
have brought suit for their alleged
rights, the defendant purchaser would
not have been required to answer or de-
fend. The state would have been re-
sponsible and would have made good,
paying such verdict as might have
been given out Of kind Of insurance
fund raised for the purpose.

Mayor Gaynor, who Is just complet-
ing a term of Office secured by the
backing of Tammany hall, has been
nominated by his friends as an inde-
pendent, and has accepted the nomina-
ton; but as to whether he can be elect
ed again remains to be seen. Tammany
probably is the most remarkable polit-.
ical organization in the United States,
and has a great influence on the poll
tics of this country. 1t was originally
organized about one hundred and
twenty five years ago to oppose the so
ciety Of the Cincinnati" an organization
that had dominated affairs for several
years previous. The Society of the Gin
cinati was along 'aristocratic" lines,
and had made itself very obnoxious to
the common" element. Tammany was
strictly Democratic and for a number
of years it gave the city a good clean
government. AS matter Of fact, 1t ~
claimed to this day and with quite a
lot of justice that New York has al
ways been and still is the best govern
ed American city. But while the gov
ernment as a whole was good and still
is good, corruption and graft are the
rule throughout the controllers of the
organization. That is, the few who ma
nipulate the many-the people who
pose as the power behind the throne,
and nominate and elect figure head Of
ficials who are supposed to get what
they can by means fair and foul, and
divide with the big folks in the back
ground. Of course how there could be
good government" under conditions
like this is past comprehension; but 1t
is not to be understood that the gov
ernment was actually good, only rather
that the per centage Of corruption was
smaller than In most other American
cities. Also the graft has generally been
collected from those engaged in dishon-
est vocations, and as rule honest, un-
offending citizens who did not mix up
with the aforesaid dishonest people
were guaranteed all the protection to
which they were entitled. The princi-
pal exceptions were when such a citi-
zen happened to become innocently
complicated with crook with Tam
many pull. In that event the innocent
man had to suffer. But Tammany has
had hard luck from time to time. The
most notable explosion was in connec-
ton with the exposure and prosecution
of the Tweed ring, shortly after the
Civil war. Tweed was the big boss who
had robbed the city directly Of millions.
Then there have been numerous other
Investigations, the latest being in con-
nection with the murder of Rosenthal
by grating Police Lieutenant Becker.
OF late, too, there have been certain
other outward occurrences to ruffie the
smoothe course Of Tammany's sailing.
Men who had hitherto been good Tam
manyites, and who have been elected to
positions of power and responsibility,
decided to serve the public rather than
Tammany. Whether it has been mat
ter of conscience, may be a matter OF
opinion; but the fact remains that diff
ferent men have rebelled against Tam
many and given their allegiance to
public veal. Many people look upon
Sulzer as one Of these, and many 9TH
ers consider Gaynor in the same light.
AS to what are the real facts Is largely
a matter Of surmise.

Weakness of the Juror.-A farmer
from the country who Is sometimes
called on to serve as a juror spoke a
parable the other day when he said he
had never been able to understand the
action of some jurors. Sensible men
will give verdict against almost any
corporation when they would not think
of such thing as between two citi-
zens," he said. "A jurors duty Is to
make a decision according to the law
and the evidence, but this Is seldom
done where a corporation Is involved.
/ have heard good men on jury say
oh, we'll, the company Is able to pay II
and the man needs It. It's sickening
and sometimes feel as II never want
to be on a jury again" There Is moth
ing new In this, but how to remedy 1t
Is the question. A member Of jury In
this county some time ago Is authority
for saying that one man on the panel,
In a case where the plaintiff was suing
a corporation for $4,000, actually argu-
ed that he be given $4,000 and he
meant every word Of II. 1t was a case
where the mans prejudice was so
strong he could not overcome 1t. If
Juror will heed what the court says In
it's charges and has good sense, he will
generally plumb the line II he can get
rid of his prejudice.--Greensboro Rec

in preparing dinner, and knew moth
ing of the fire, which originated in a
closet In one Of the front rooms, until
1t burned its way through the wealth

by neighbors, who gave the alarm.
The mill fire department responded
promptly and succeeded in extin-
gushing the flames before the build

building was valued at $4,000 and was
insured for $1,000. There was $500
insurance -on the furniture. and in

thought that Mr.. Hagans' financial loss

Now that 1t seems practically certain
that there is to be prohibitive tax on
cotton gambling on the exchanges. we
will see what we will see. There are
those who hold that this gambling is
absolutely necessary to maintain cot
ton prices at a proper level and there
are others who hold the contrary. If
the proposed law goes through, 1t may
disorganize the market temporarily,
but somehow we feel pretty sure that
things will right themselves again be-
fore a great while. The Liverpool ex-
change will continue to do business in
the meantime.

farce after the third inning, but after
the eighth inning when they made one
run. they succeeded in getting three

their score up to 4. Gaulden Of York.
vilple was In good form although he
had pitched the day before. but when
1t was seen that Yorkville had a walk
away he retired from the pitchers box
In favor Of Logan who held the Chester
boys to few scattered hits. Bigham
who started pitching for Chester, was
knocked all over the diamond, and re-
tired In favor Of Johnson who shared
but little better fate. This, the boys
say Is the last game of baseball to be
played on the Yorkville grounds this
year, since most of the college boys
leave Yorkville this week and the
Graded school boys are interested in
football. The batteries in Fridays game
were: Chester-Bigham, Johnson and

Would 1t not be great If the people
could really elect representatives and
other officials who would make just
and equitable laws and then honestly
try to enforce the same? theoretically
every public official is working only for
what is right and just, and some really
do that; but all men Of intelligence
know there Is much buncombe in this
kind Of thing. In conversation with the
writer a year or two ago, Senator j.
Arthur Banks Of Calhoun county, at
one time chairman Of the ways and
means committee of the house, said:
Although everything that is done here
is done in the name Of the people, as a
matter of fact the people stand no more
show in these legislative halls than a
yellow dog" This was not said for
publication, or with any idea that 1t
would be published. It was merely an
expression Of the honest conviction of
a broad minded, intelligent man, which
conviction came about as the result Of
years of experience. We believe what
Mr.. Banks said was true, and we know
that there are thousands Of other rea-
sonably well informed people who
know 1t is so. Those who know 1t Is so
include folks who have worked" the
people through the legislature, and
people who have sought to work for
the people in the legislature. But where
Is the remedy? 1t is easy for blatant
demagogue to take up a proposition
like this, declare himself the champion
Of right and justice, get elected and go
to the legislature and enlist under the
banner of some slick leader who main
tains an organization for the especial
purpose Of working the dear people. If
there Is any practicable remedy In
sight, we do not know about 1t. If the
people really knew they would straight
en- things out; but how are they to be
informed? OF course education is a
remedy, and some progress is being
made in that direction; but improve
ment is slow, dreadfully slow.
