a MAN should not allow himself to hate even
~ his enemies, because if you indulge this
passion on some occasions it will rise of itself in
Others. If you hate your enemies, you will con.
tract such a vicious habit of mind as by degrees
will break out upon those who are your fnends

The idea of Mr.. Julian S. Carr, Jr, to transfer
the factory is part to the home is a good ore.
There are many women who need and would
welcome employment that would not take them
wholly from their household duties. The plan,
the Charlotte Observer points out, obtains already
In Charlotte, though not on an organized basis
such as that proposed by Mr.. Carr. The prir,-
riple, too, Is about the same as that of the
practice which prevails in the large cities where
women make shirts, waists, and other garments
at their homes and for the iobbers of
these things There will always be a necessity,
In many instances, for other members Of the
household, in addition to the husband and father
10 earn some money. The plan proposed by Mr.
Carr lends itself to the meeting Ct this need
admirably.

TO RECOVER TEN MILLIONS.

The Court OF Claims III a recent decision has
upheld the Bartlett amendment to the national
claims act, making it possible for people in the
Southern States TO recover ten million dollars in
return TOR cotton coniscated shortly after the
War Between the States. The Bartlett amend.
1rent provided that III order to collect these claims
against the government it is not necessary for
the claimant to prove that he was loyal to
the Union.
his decision has nothing to do with the cotton
tax levied after the war by the Federal govern
nent, but applies only i'll cases where the cotton
was conhscated outright, a proceeding multiplied
IN the various Southern States after the war.
Representative Bartlett, Of Georgia, has fought
for this amendment for several years and was
instrumental in having q test case prosecuted
before the Court Of Claims after the amendment
was passed by Congress.
The ten million dollars is still carried on the
books in the Treasury Department., lust as is the
sum OF sixty millions collected by a cotton tax
OF two cents a pound on all cotton sold. Bills
seeking to turn this sixty million back to the
heirs OF the taxpayers are pending in Congress.
On reading OF a shocking accident like that il,
New bern III which one woman lost her life and
another was probably fatally injured, the impulse
is to tell how the accident might have been
avoided. But cui bono? The prudent will avoid
these dangerous practices any wav, and the others
Will have recourse to them in spite Of all advice

Face of Roland Fountain
Other Cases

Eastport. Me, July I4.-That anoth-
er brutal assault occurred in this city
on the night before the Fourth, was
developed Monday when Roland Foun-
tain. who has been confined to his

to come up town and enter complaint
against three men who he says attack
&c him during the carnival of drunk
enness which ushered in the celebra-
tion.
Fountain told of having met the
three men in question. One Of them
swung a large COW bell, which which
came crashing against his face with
tremendous force, he says Both of
Fountains Jaws We're fractured by the
force of the blow. He further alleges
that ne was. afterward kicked in the
face by one If his assailants His in
jurics confined him to his house until
Monday, when he visited the municipal
court and registered complaint. 1t is
expected that the matter will be fur
tner aired in court within q few days.
Old residents of PASSPORT declare
that never in the history of the city
has there been as much drunkenness
and lawlessness about the streets as
on the night before the Fourth. The
Houor sold was of the Vilest descrip-
ton and its character is believed to
have had much to Go with the violence
which occurred.
On Monday Frank Whalen, who is
bound over to the grand jury on the
charge of assault with intent to kill
or the person of George Ferguson on
the night OF July s, secured bail and
was released, Conley, the other re-
spondent in the case, was admitted to

NO PROSECUTION
!, FOR SIR THOMAS
Upton BY THE
BRITISH GOVT
Upton, Ltd, Was Con-
nected with Recent
Canteen Scandals

London. July, 1.-THE attorney general
declared today that there was no evil
dence before him to justify the criminal
prosecution of Sir Thomas Upton in con-
nection with the recent army canteen
scandals, for which several army officers
and employees of Upton. Limited were
convicted on charges of accepting or CIV
ing brides to influence contracts.
Replying to a question by Sir Arthur
Markham in the House of Commons, the
attorney general said proceedings already
had been taken in regard to those against
whom evidence existed.
No such evidence, however, existed
against Sir Thomas Upton.
At the annual meeting of Upton, Linn
ited today Sir Thomas was attacked by
a number of shareholders. Sir Thomas
in speech said nobody could attempt
to justify the acts of the men who had
been implicated in the eanteen scandals
and nobody deplored them more than he
did He declared such steps had been
taken as would effeetually prevent re-
currence of the scandals.
The meeting concluded with hearty
cheers and the expression of wishes for
the success of Shamrock " in its at
tempt to bring back the Americas cup to
England.
