We also urge the enforce ment of the recent vagran y law. It is a disgrace to the county that no facilities have been provided for cleansing prisoners upon their ad mittance. We respectfully recom mend that the jail be supplied with a bath room, that all prisoners be compelled immediately to use it and be cltd in jail garments. We respectfully report that upon perso nal inspection we have ascertained that the public school facilities of the city are inadequate to the needs of the rapidly increasing white pop ulation. Many of the local teachers have nearly double the number of pupils in their charge to whfoh they should properly be assigned. Not withstanding this there are still sev eral hundred children without school facilities, growing up in idleness and with many instances of sinful or criminal tendencies.1 " Out of joint" !! Is this the same Wilmington that revoluted a few years ago under the generalship of the doughty Col. Waddell and shook off the shackles of negro rule and -purged herself of her many fold abominations in the twinkling of a sheeps tail after a brief but sanguin ary conflict in which a large but in definite number of inoffensive ne groes lost their lives? Can it be that the police force who are. the very creatures of the Waddell re gime the foster children of the Simmons Aycock reign, of terror and blood have so lost sight of the lofty ideals held up to them by this trio of bellicose statesmen that they need purging? Sooner let mid-day blush to own her sun! Is it possible that vagrants abound in a city so highly favored with "good government" in this era of peace and plenty? Does the Cape Fear river not afford sufficient water with which to cleanse the "unwashed" of " WaddelPs belliger ents, and has its application been so long abandoned under good demo cratic rule that the grand jury must thus turn states evidence amd pub lish to the world such a palpable vi olation of common decency by the very apples of Boss Simmons' eye in that mob-ridden city? In this time of educational revival of which we have heard so much is it conceiv able that the' public schools as well as the prison are down at the heel?. out at the elbows and in need of purging and cleansing? Far be it from us to so allege. But the foregoing report of the grand jury speaks for itself. It is presumed to have been made by good men most if not all demo crats and sealed with their sacred oaths In this connection it may not be amiss to note that at the recent dem ocratic primary which is equivolent to election, this same Waddell re ceived a majority of the votes of his party for mayor, and will again waddle into the same place where the so called revolution of 1898, placed him as a refugee from star vation. In Chatham County whence this pugnacious Colonel migrated the name is Waddle. After residing in tha city becoming a Colonel and a sort of a lawyer-revolutionest, the name becomes WAd dell. "The Washington Star wants to know why the disciples of Alexan der Hamilton do not celebrate his birthday with big dinners, as Jeffer son's disciples celebrate the birthday of the author of the declaration of Independence;" Possibly because they are not as big hypocrites asthose who hffve the Jefferson dinner. If Jefferson were living he would get a ten-cent lunch before he would attend one himself. BUT BPS A DEMOCRAT. The News and Obm rver says that Gov. Glenn should not have gone to Washington In the Interest of Cas. pr, the Wintfra whiskey dealer, who was fined at hurt term of Fed eral Cturt In Greensboro. Tht is an exceedingly mild way fur such a venoocous iper as the Observer to express it. But then you know the Governor i a democrat and the Ob Hivft claims to be democratic too If a Republican Governor had gone to Washington and interceded for a whiskey dealer, who had violated the law, the News and Observer and other yellow journals in the State would have set up a great howl and asked for a special session of the Legislature to impeach him for mal practice In office and being In collu sion with the law-breakers of the State. But then, no one expects the News and Observer to be consis tent. Nearly every week we hear of two or three convicts making their escape from the penitentiary or from the State farms. Last week John Watson, a white man, who was convicted of murder in Vance county last' October, and was sen tences for a term of twenty-five years in the penitentiary, and Will Smith, a negro, who was serving a sentence of ten years for housebreak ing, both made their escape. What is the matter with some of our good government officials? Are they negligent of duty or why do they let these men escape? They are paid by the State to. see that these men do not escape. There should be an investigation as to the cause of so many convicts being al lowed to escape. The News and Observer is always wanting to investigate and here's a good job for it. Buy some white wash and begin. The democrats of Raleigh held a primary Thursday and the News and Observer says there are charges of Fkaud in the fourth Ward News of fraud and corruption comes from Goldsboro, Durham and Char lotte also. But this all seems to be a habit with them. A "blind tiger" got in trouble in Baleigh last week for selling whis key on election day. If the blind tigers want to avoid trouble they mustn't sell whiskey on election days, they must, at least, have that much respect for the law. SHOOTING AFFRAY IN GOLDSBORO S. It. Edmundson Shoots Arnold Borden Quarrel Over Election Cause or Tragedy. Goldsboro, N C, April 24 About 9 oclock to-night there occurred one pf the most sensational shooting af fairs that Goldsboro has ever wit nessed. One of the most prominent citizens of the town Mr. Arnold Bor den was shot twice by E. L. Ed mundson, also a prominent business man. The shooting took place in front of the railroad waiting rooms and was witnessed by a number of people who were crowding the street just at that time. It is the night for the nomination of Aldermen and every voter who 1 S J t a a ' could leave home was out to attend the ward meetings. Mr. Edmundson who was a candi date in his ward had been defeated because he was known to be a rigid prohibitionist. He and Mr. Borden were at the same polling place and got into a controversy. Mr. Edmundson was on the grand jury last week when a number of people were indicted for playing cards. When Borden and Edmundson left the city hall where they voted they came down the street together and it is said by those who heard a part of the conversation that Mr. Borden accused Mr. Ed mundson of making the indictment against the card-players.' This caused Edmundson to reply with the lie. Mr. Borden promptly used his fist on Edmundson's ' face. It was an exciting moment for the spectators who saw Edmundson re treat a step or two and pull a pistol covered with a handkerchief from his coat pocket. . Edmundson fired twice and ran down the street. He was intercepted by Wayne " Fon vielle, who when Edmundson pulled his gun grabbed a chair sitting on the sidewalk. Edmundson . went over to the drug store of M. E. Rob inson & Bro. where he is under cus tody at this writing. Mr. Borden walked into the drag store or the Hlggins Drug Company and at the solicitation of friends palled off his coat before he found out that he was shot. He was taken to the office of Drs. John and William Spicer where his wounds were examined, , it was found that he was shot just . below the nipple on the right side of the breast and at this time it is feared that his wound is more serious than at first thought.

Raleigh Enterprise. Most of the De mocratic newspa pers have stopped their yelpiug at Yerkes and Dixon, having discov ered the insanity of the abuse; but the News and Otserver continues to spit venom out of i s slimy mouth; but after all, the people know Jo sephus Daniels, of Buff do-calf noto riety, and they know his bark is only the bark of a yellow dog. Da vie Record. Mr. R. N Hackett, of Wilkesboro, one of the moi-t active men in the Democratic party in North Carolina was in the city last week, and to a Chronicle r port r said, there is much dissatisfaction in his party in the Western part of the State, and that the people were very thankful the Legislature was a thing of the past. Peoples Paper. When a town gets Repulican in Alabama, and they will get that way sometimes, all the Governor has to do is to oust the men elected and appoint Democrats made it easy for The Legislature the Governor, Commenting on this kind of State government the Charlotte Observer says it's "about as rank as a thing can be, but no worse than the North Carolina Legislature treated Char lotte and for a less reason, for Re publican rule was not involved in their town."

A Dutchman had an only son. He was anxious to know what his son would make. One morning be-1 fore the son woke he decided to test him. He took a glass ot liquor, a paCk 0f cards and a Bible and placed them on a table by his boy's bed. He said: 'Ef the boy take the lick er, he pees a drunkard, if he take the cards, he pees a gambler; and if he take the Pibie, he pees von preacher," The father hid himself to see. The boy awoke, got up and dressed. He then viewed the con tents. - He looked wise, cleared his throat and swallowed down the li quor, put the cards in his pocket, and placed the Bible under his arm and walked out. The old man scratched his head for a and then looked up and said. It 1 ish aul plain now; me poy ish goin' to pe von tamed Norht Carolina poli tician. Times Mercury. How WiU It Be After 1 908 f it is criminal neglect morally for a parent not to give his child a fairly good education. Without that the ordinary child Is at a hopeless disad vantage in the latter day struggle. Many children are growing up in this county , without any schooling, many of them never saw a newspa per in their home unless it accident ly blowed in Horn a neighbors home. We asked a man the other day that we knew had a house full of chil dren what papers he was taking he said none, the 7 Bible was all he wanted. It's dollars to dough nuts if you was to ask that man to read a chapter in the book of Sampson he would pat in a half day looking for the book The Bible is the book of all books, bat that fellow's chil dren will grow, up as ignorant as cows. Peoples Paper. ' ; State Indebtedness. From the statement of State Treas urer Lacy, the whole report of which Inter W liar MC.Poc and St we hope to print next week, the state of North Carolina is in debt f6,84S,4&0, and has stocks amount ing to 7,028,000 tearing a balance in favor of the state of $178,550. Wbes the Republican! tamed the state over to the Democratic legisla ture of 189S the debts of the State amounted to about one million dot law less than they do now. This seems to us to be a rather large in crease for these prosperous times in time of tieace. During this' time Uebts of farmer of Davidson county have been greatly des.res.srd. It is also true that the assessments of property for taxation in the state is many millions greater than it was under Republican administration. North State. Billiard Tailrsor Saloon. Which Mr. Benton in his Thiry Years Vlw in the United States Senate" tells of a ttrocg man In the Legisla ture of the. state of Tenn., who con ceived a strong hatred gainst bill lard tablis.that were to be seen in all the leading hotel of that state. By a long, hard fight he succeed ed in destroying this form of public amusement, much to his own satis taction, lecling that be bad done a good work that met the approval of all good mtn. After ten years he introduced a bill to repeal his own law, declaring that for every billiard table he had abolished; he had set up ten card ta bles. Will someone tell us how many buna tigers have been set up for every saloon abolished? We temember it was said "public sentiment was to be created and en acted in law" when this work was begun. But who shall undo this horrid work and abolish the blind tigers when these bands of lawless men have begun their secret work of lawbreaking by night and red hand ed led to defy (he law of God and man alike. Have not the politicians harnessed up the Clergy and driven them on in this work, expecting them to lead their congregations to vote for fo cal led "good government." Was it not declared openly in the last Legislature that "Senator Sim mons was more loved than all the preachers in the State" thus admit ting the Clergy had lost the love and respect of the people of the State? This condition is more to be deplored than the fact that in South Carolina the number of cases of 1 manslaughter doubled in six years under the dispensary's compared with the last six years under the li censed saloons. A. Vater. How the Beer Trust Bis the Lire-Stock Market, and Always Be at the Farmer. In the May number of Everybod y's Magazine Mr. Charles E. Russel, in his article on "The Greatest Trust in the World," shows exactly how the Beef Trust manipulates the mar ket. "On Monday, February 6, 1905," he says, "the Chicago receipts of hogs were ligat, 83,000 as as against 56.000 on the previous Sat urday. This afforded the exact sit uation that best suits the Trust man agers. They can make prices as they please, and they put up the price of hogs 25 cents a hundred weight. As the ofierings were light their purchases at the high figure were few. As soon as the advance price had been widely telegraphed (and the cunning supervision of market quotations has bean reduced by the Trust to an absolute science), a great ru9h of hogs was started from all directions. On Wednesday they ar rived. Immediately the Trust put the price down to fifteen cents lower than Monday's opening figures, and at this rate bought immense droves, with which they proceeded to fill cellars." MURDER IN ROWAN.

The first sale of land of which there is any definite record is that mentioned in the 23 rd chapter of Genesis. The transaction seem? to have been very simple. Abraham wished to buy a field for a burial place for his family. Ephram, the owner of the field, valued it at 400 shekels of silver," about $200 of oar mdney, which Abraham agreed to pay, .. He accordingly went to the gate of the city and weighed the money, which he paid in. the pres ence of all who entered through the gate. Tfai3 simple ceremony, with out the intervention of lawyers , or other omcials, made "the .field 'and the cave that was therein' and all the trees that were in the field, and in all the borders around . abont," sure unto Abraham for a possession.
