had been able to show profit in
their quadrennial reports. Unhappily
for the States cash box this surplus
never was found The State would
farm it's prisoners out to contractors
working on railroad construction. The
Elkin and Allegheny, for instance al
ways made a handsome profit for the
prison until the legislatures met. Then
a deficit was plugged. The process
was very simple. The State would
guard, clothe, feed and work convicts
on these mountain railroads. The pri-
soners might earn So day each. The
State would take stock in these roads.
A block Of shares, "par value" of $500,
might get on the books for 100000.
That would go in the record as profit
able operation, when as matter of
fact, the roads never were finished
and the State lost every penny that it
spent on food, raiment and super
vision.
There is no such bookkeeping pos
sible now. The Interstate Commerce
Commission would not sanction any
such roads and getting stung repeat
edly, even perennially, finally taught
the State something. Governor Max
Gardner would not leave the prison
ers in the coal mines of Lee and Chat
ham, though they appeared to be earn
ing their salt there. More and more
the State has come to discourage pri-
son profits on paper. And when the
earnings get off paper they go into
the general deficit.
The highway and public works
commission is, therefore, seeking a
man who can run a farm and make it
pay. A few farmers in North Caro-
lima have done that and paid good
wages. Those tillers believe they
could make the prison pay if they had
charge of It.
But the State looks for more. It
would be pleased to have a good agri-
culturist at the head of the State

good fellows who get along well with
groups even of derelicts. There are
some executives who can do and get
things done; but the commission is
looking for more man than anybody
has been in a long time.
Whether there is any man in the
State or without who seems to fit the
demands has not been intimated by
anybody in authority. The need auto

ings in a fashion not to be forgotten
From what I gather, from chats
with statesmen in the Capitol CORR
doris, not few personal enmities are
being created-enmities a great deal
aglier than ordinarily arise from mere
political differences of opinion
A Democrat and a Republican re-
cognize that they are on opposite
sides, and can be polite about it. No
Democrat ever would refer to a Re
publican as natural-born nuisance
Or vice versa. Each would speak of
the other as, necessarily, an oppon-
ent, but not as an opponent to be per-
sonally insulted, or nearly so.
AS Between Democrats.
Contrariwise, Democratic and Re-
publican senators are very deferential
to one another.
1t is when Democratic leader,
like Senator Robinson, disagrees with
a recalcitrant Democrat, like Sena
tor Burke, that the situation becomes
downright vicious. Civil strife tradi-
tionally is exceptionally bitter.
The row between Senators Robin
son and Burke isn't the only one that
rends the Democratic side of the Sen
ate chamber, either. Verbally it was
especially acrimonious but it does
not indicate anything more deeply
seated than the general cleavage
which exists between the two Demo
cratic wings at the north end Of the
Capitol building.

Raleigh, July 1--Wake county
has at last picked storerooms for the

request of liquor manufacturers that
Wake do not open too soon.
The first of August is the very ear
Nest possible opening, but the manu-

but they ask Wake to get ready be-

would be better satisfied if the delay
were 80 days longer.
They have found trouble in all
counties where the opening was pre-
mature and conditions of the opening
were unsatisfactory Unfavorable re-
action of the public was inevitable.
And it has taken the full two years
to recover from it, The distillers go
often before the State ABC board and
urge it to insist that the county stores
