When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
aVorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
tal-.iiig in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breaih, smothering spells, diffi
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. Dr. Miles' Heart Rem

and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.

Scathing Indictment.
Severe "Analytical Arraign
ment of the Conspiracy of
Technicality and Archaic
Procedure that Often Lays
the Shadow of Chaos and
Blight of Injustice Upon the
Administration Law in Amer
ica," by Prominent Member
of the Georgia Judiciary
"The People, Through Their
Lawmakers, Should Break
the Shackles that Bind the
Courts."
Atlanta CoriMtitutlon.
Here is a scathing .analytical ar
raijzimiHiit of the conspiraey of tech
nicality and archaic procedure that
often lays the (shadow of chaos and
the blight of injustice upon the ad
ministration of law in America.
Jt doen not originate with an ex
cited, an irresponsible or a hysterical
layman, one of those incurable and
chronic "ready letter writers" that
lie in ambush for the helpless public.
It comes straight from one of the
most respected, a blest and experienc
ed members of the judiciary in (Jcor
iia, a man pre-eminently familiar
with the modern history of thisState,
and in the country-at-large, and who
now sits on one of the Superior Court
henelies of the State. His views carry
all the weight of one who has prac
ticed exhaustively in every phase of
procedure, and who speaks with por
tentous authority when hedelineates
flaws that often make a mockery of
the dispensation of justice in this
country.
Obviously, it is inexpedient to dis
close his identity. But the Consti
tution vouches for the qualities and
the equipment that clothe him with
the right to express himself incom
petent criticism.
In a personal letter to the Consti
tution, he vigorously commei.ds the
editorials recently deploring the
Tennessee Supreme Court decision,
which b3T invoking irrelevant tech
nicality gives promise of nullifying
justice in the famous night rider
prosecutions. He then proceeds, aud
his views challenge the attention and
study of every lawyer and every lay
man in Georgia:
Deplorable, far-reaching and. in some
respects, inexcusable, as the Tennessee
decision was, the trouble is fundamental
and quite general, at least in the South
ern States. In the minds of a large per
centage of our people, liberty is con
strued to mean license, and the man who
openly stands for enforcement of all laws
against all persons alike, rinds himself
regarded, by a large number of citizens,
as a sort of bluebeard, or, perhaps, more
nearly a Jeffries.
Our leading law-makers, on the judi
ciary committees, particularly, are law
yers who largely make their living by
defending persons charged with crime.
The majority of our ableet men and
broadest lawyere do not care to enter a
scramble for legislative honors in the
better part of the States, nor can they
afford pecuniarily to devote their time
to it. Hence the difficulty in remedying
our code of criminal procedure, which
has made almost no advancement since
the time of Queen Klizabeth.
THE PEOPLE. THROUGH THEIR
LAWMAKERS, SHOULD BREAK THE
SHACKLES THAT BIND THE
COURTS. In Georgia we find the ex
treme of such barriers. The prisoner's
statement, in lieu of sworn testimony, is
au absured monstrosity in a court of
justice, where the discovery of truth is a
prime object, because the unsworn state
ment is an instrument to obscure and
obstruct the truth powerful enough to
acquit the most shrewd criminal, while
it is absolutely fatal to the guileless, or
to the poor criminal unable to employ
able lawyers. I am told that Georgia is
the only state where such a justice-defeating
absurdity exists.
There are many other things that bind
the arm that would wield the sword of
justice. I do not mean to claim that
many courts are not failing to show the
moral courage to use the law we already
have. But just how helpless are they,
when even with the intention to deter
mine direct between "right and wrong,
guilt and innocence." as you succinctly
state, the way is barred by an accumu
lation of precedents tliat are vicious, not
germane to the case in hand and, worst
of all, bv inconsequential quibbles.
I HAVE KNOWN THESE LATTER
TO FREE MANY A CRIMINAL UN-
DOI'RTEDLY GI'ILTY FROM THE
STANDPOINT OF MORALS AND COM
MON SENSE, SENDING HIM FORTH
AS A MENACE TO THE COMMUNI
TY, SECURE IN THE KNOWLEDGE
THAT HE POSSESSES THE SECRET
THAT WILL DEFEAT PUNISH
MENT. Unqualifiedly vou are correct when
you say that prima facie evidence,
or reinforced circumstantial evidence
should be the sole test of the action of
the courts. Such is the original intent
of the law, but these days it has largely
fallen into desuetude.
I DO NOT SEE HOW PEOPLE CAN
RESPECT EITHER LAW OR THE
COURTS. WHEN BOTH ARE SO
CLUTTERED WITH INEQUALITIES,
LOOPHOLES, OPPORTUNITIES FOR
EVASION AND DELAY AS TO OFTEN
PUT A PREMIUM UPON RASCALITY.
AS TO OFTEN' PUT WINGS UPON
THE FEET OF THE CRIMINAL AND
THE OPPRESSOR. AND SHACKLES
UPON THE FEET OF THOSE WHO
WOULD BRING HIM TO JUSTICE.
AT THE LAST ANALYSIS, IT IS A
QUESTION OF THE PUBLIC SAFE
TY, THE COMMUNITY WELFARE,
THE SAFETY AND PURITY OF THE
INSTITUTIONS UPON WHICH REST
DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT.

An Old Journalist Who "Drops in"
to Pay Mis Respects to the Sage of
the Charlotte Chronicle, Becomes
Reminiscent He Talks About the
Old Washington Hand Press Be
fore the Days of the flodern Press,
the Telephone Rural Delivery.
Charlotte Chronicle.
A few days ago, Mr. W. C. Wolfe,
a retired journalist, of Monroe, drop
ped into the Chronicle office they al
ways "drop in," youkiiow and after
having lilted a square of tobacco from
our desk and made himself comfort
able, proceeded to start up a con
versation about newspapers as they
are now and as they were then.
Wolfe was contemporaneous with us,
with the exception that while he had
a cylinder press, we pulled an old
Washington, a press that we have
always believed was the original
from which all hand presses were
made. Said Wolfe: "Just think. In
our days there were no telephones.
A telegram was eo rare that when
one came the editor would tremble
as he opened it. There were no rural
delivery routes. The paper was a
week old before it reached some ofits
subscribers. We had to wait until
the coming around of court to col
lect subscriptions, for in those days
'court week' was the editors main
chance. Now, the editor of the weekly
paper can turn to his telephone, give
a subscriber a little chat about the
markets and incidentally remind him
that he owes a dollar on subscrip
tion aud when the subscriber would
come to town he would bring a dollar
for the editor." This and much
more was said by way of contrast
between the papers of then and now.
The changes have been marvelous.
Nearly ull the country papers in the
State now have linotype machines,
aud as a general thing, the weekly
has given way to the semi-weekly
The telephone and the rural delivery
have been important factors in this
era of progressive country jour
nalism. The weekly and the seme
weekly paper of today carries pages
of news where the paper of the days
the two editors were talking about
carried columns, but considering con
ditions, the country papers of old
would bear a creditable comparison
with the papers of the present time.
Especially is this true when the edi
torial pages are matched. But the
country press of North Carolina is
today perhaps the finest in the South.
The Chronicle draws from it each day
a department that makes this paper
sought after. Statesville has the best
edited paperin theState. Wadesboro,
Monroe and Rockingham each have
two standard weeklies. Gastonia is
abreast with the journalism of the
day. Lexington has what might be
called a metropolitan eounty paper.
Henderson has one of the finest.
Greensboro and Salisbury run to dai
lies. Concord has a tip-top semi-weekly
and an excellent daily. Maxton
has one of the besc weekly papers in
the State and at Marshville is Our
Home, a weekly that has a way of
speaking out ia meeting that makes
one watch and wait for it. These are
but instances. Almost every town
in the State has a paper that looks
better than the paper Mr. Wolfe got
out when he thought he was printing
one of the best in the State, and tak
ing cord wood in payment for sub
scriptions. And furthermore, the country ed
itors these days do all their corres
pondence by typewriter and mighty
few of them hold to the old habit
of acknowledging receipt of things
laid upon their desks. They don't
palaver. It has been a long time
since we have seen the once familiar
expression: "Mr. So-and-So, our pop
ular fellow townsman." They are as
independent as any other class of
business men, and have placed the
profession on a thoroughly sound
and practical business basis. They
are printing papers, not for senti
ment but to make a living.

THE OLD PLANTATION IN DIXIE.
Editor D. L. St. Clair, in Sanford Kxpre.
When the busy day ia over with it anxioua
hopes and feara.
And the telephone stops ringing and the lat
clerk disappears.
With a sigh he leans back wenry in his
wininnK office chair.
And his heart Roes bark to Dixie and the old
plantation there.
He can see the ancient homestead, broad
and white beneath the trees.
And the fields of growing cotton and the
corn blown bv the breere:
He can see the bees and blossoms and the
orchard on the bill.
Where he .hook down harvest apples for tha
oia straw cider mill.
He can see the upland pasture dotted o'er
with craaiBK sheep.
And the wheat fields waving golden, ready
now for men to reap.
He can see the dogwood thicket where the
squirrels used to nlar.
And the meadow near the river with its heaps
ol fragrant hay.
He can see the cedars where the mocker in
the moonlight sinirs.
And the swallow and the robin dip and rie
on morning wings;
He can see the humming bird hurry to the
hollyhock,
Aud ont where the shadows play the rriokets
leap across the walk.
He ran see the cattle standing 'neath the
willows in the brook.
Where he used to fish for roaches with a bent
pin for a hook;
And the marsh where grew the lilies that his
sweetheart used to prize,
When light as sweet a. heaven shone in her
merry deep blue eyes.
And he sighs .while fancy lingers o'er ench
well remembered scene.
Of the happy days in Dixie thrown by
memory on the screen;
And he'd give what he's gained in Wall
Street, his gold and treasure rare.
To go back one day to boyhood aud the old
plantation there. .
ENFORCE THE VAGRANT LAW.
Idlers and Loafers a Menace to Socie
ty, to Law and Order Transition
from the Idler to the Loafer, Vag
rant, the Criminal Law Should be
Enforced and the Vagrant Class
Made to Work There is Work of
Some Kind for every One.
New Bern Journal.
Mischief for idle hands to under
take haa necessitated laws, which
compel idlers to work, or suffer the
penalty. The very fact that idle
people, and it is not a matter of sex,
are certain to become a menace to
society causes an alarm to be sound
ed in every community, where idle
ness prevails. From the idler, to
loafer and vagrant is not always a
quick transition. But the danger
exists, hence the wisdom, if possible,
in first preventing the boy or girl
from becoming inoculated with the
germs of idleness. There is some
kind of work for every age in both
sexes. There is no reason for anyone
to become an idler in the first place,
that is, one who refuses to undertake
tasks that are possible. One idle
youth would not enjoy his or her
own society, but with additions,
there develops too quick the loufer,
vagrant, criminal. And before the
last can form, societ' must enact
and enforce laws which shall take
hold and correct the- vugrant before
he becomes the criminal. The parent
that does his duty should be the
first to prevent the idle boy, and so
keep down the loafer. But when the
vagrant has become a certainty,
then the law must be active, firm
and sure. If it hesitates, then soon
is society shocked by the criminal
that vagrancy has developed and
grown.
Because a municipality cannot pro
vide work for vagrants, it does not
follow that the vagrant arrested,
may not be put to some kind of work.
Farm work is always near, but where
is there any town or city whose
streets cannot be improved bj' the
labor that its vagrants can be forced
to give. No community should give
a day's grace to any vagrant.
Watch should be kept, and policemen
ought to be able to quickly determine
the existence of a vagrant, and the
trangressor be given the chance to
reform. Slackness in permitting va
grancy to exist, is often followed by
some terrif3e crime, a devastating
fire or other calamity. Keep vag
rants from 'becoming settled by forc
ing them to work. ,

Crops and the Calamity Howler.
Concord Tribune.
We do not rememljer a year btit in
the spring and early summer the
crop talk was most discouraging.
It was too wet, too dry, too some
thing or other, until weVelt like lying
down and weeping over the direful
result sure to follow. Somehow this
feeling always prevails. Thfrn is so
much wrong. But in the end every
thing seems to right itself and the
crop turns up a certain percentage of
the average, whatever that means.
This season has been no exception,
and almost daily there has bn
poor crop talk, much of which bus
found its way into print. It may be
putdown that in spite of too much
rain, too little rain, hail, grass,
drought, boll weevil and chinch bugs
there will be a crop harvested this
fall, in all respects very much like the
rest of them that always start off
with the very poorest sort of pros
pects. In troth the good Lord gives
us a bountiful harvest in spite of our
mouthing and complaints. And the
funniest thiug about it all is that
the smallest percentage of this tulk
comes from the men who are work
ing the crops and depending directly
upon them.

It's been 17 years since I sat with
the North Carolina Press Association
in annual convention. Connection
with this paper made attendance
upon and participation in the con
vention, which met in Ilendersonviile
on June 2.'l, entirely in good taste. It
was like going back home to sit on
the old porch once more; to drink out
of the old well once again; to drive
the cows and watch the milking; to
walk up and down the fresh ploughed
ground and at night to wash one's
feet in the old tub that 6at at the
back steps. Stop. This talk gives
one's early environments away; ami
these things having forever parsed
have become almost sacred.
"Going back home" has its sad
ness. Things become larger; while
other things have become smaller
things change, and these changes
sometimes sadden. I missed some
faces, for some have read their last
proofs; 1 missed others, for they are
quietly awaiting that summons that
comes to us all and have either re
tired to ease orclingclose to the vine
and fig-tree. Many of the editors are
young men, but I have unmistakable
reasons to know that they are repre
sentatives of that progress in ability
and capacity which obtains in all
professions in our State.
There remained just enough of the
old members to enable a fellow to
recognize his whereabouts. Editor
Sherrill, the efficient secretary 21
years and recently elected for life, was
our beacon light if you want to know
anything ask Sherrill. There was
Thad Manning, the vpry salt of the
earth he was there. Dolly Thomas,
the president, God bless him, sent his
beautiful message because of physi
cal illness detaining him at liome.
Archibald Johnson, one of the finest
characters in or out of the Press As
sociation of the State was there he's
fine because he has horse sense and a
warm heart. Dan Bivins was there,
but I positively decline to say whether
he was a member before 1802 because
I am under sacred promises to him.
Editor Hurley, our neighbor, was
there; he was a newspaper man when
I quit, but he hadn't just found it
out. He read the "history" paper
it was pronounced clever. I liked it.
The new president, Dr. Atkinson, is a
new man comparatively. He is a
charming fellow. Ilufe Clark is loud
and strong in his quietness; when he
speaks all sit up and take notice.
He's an old editor, but up at Ilender
sonviile everybody thought he was a
young man. You can't lose J.J. Far
riss; he has been through the game,
and he is a winner. 1). J. Whichard
was a comfort to me. Bob Deal was
there; though frail in body, he has the
same fire as of old when he tried in
1802 to tret water out of ft "push
button" in the Buford hotel in Char
lotte. Josephus Daniels was there,
as he has lieen for nearly 30 years
and expects to be for,.J0 more years.
J. P. Caldwell was there and enjoyed
the deliberations and discussions
with a marked attention. It was a
source of great pleasure to all to see
the great improvement in his health
since his serious attack of some weeks
ago.
The pajers and speechen were of a
high order. The entertainment by
HendersoiivilI was rerfect. Llr
Commissioner Shipman, editor of the
Ilendersonviile Hustler, with his may
or. It. If. Staton, and Maj. Pickens,
HoU'h'st Gates and other made good.
The women editor had a good time
and acted just liUequill drivers ought
to act.
Murdir on the Increase, Why?
Lumberton Itobesonian.
In hi charireto the grand jury last
Monday Judge C. C. Lyon, who is
holding Ilobeon Court, called at
tention to the fact that murder has
been on the increase in North Caro
lina for the pat several jera and
said that he could se no reason for
it unless it is because murderers have
not been properly punished. It in the
certainty, and not th- eeveriiy of
punishment that deter men from
cumrnittins: crime," declared Jude
Lyon, putting his finger on the ex
act spot. If punishment sure and
swift were as certain to follow mur
der as the night the day, humanly
speaking, it is, of course, takingthe
eternal sweep of things many men
would be walking the earth now "the
deep damnation" of whose taking off
has not served to secure conviction
and punishment for their slayers.
A MgM Rider's Raid.
The worst night riders are calomel, cro
ton oil or aloes pitts. They raid your bed
to rob yoa of rest. Not so with Dr. King's
New Life Pills. They Dever distress or in
convenience, botalwaTS cleanse the system,
curing: Colds, Headache, Constipation, Ma
laria. 25e at Merrills Doreer's drajf store.
