A NORTH CAROLINA LAW.
A bill Las been introduced into the
Xorth Carolina Legislature making it
an indictable offense (o int rnipt a
public speaker. Hac1 we bal Hick a
law as this in couth Carolina since
1S90, and had it been enforced, what
a heavy criminal docket we would
? > * ffr? T Tha CjlsC*
liav V UttU &t- uui wui c,j . j. ii. w.w |
provides that if a pnbli; speaker uses j
any profane or vulgar language, he
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
What will become of the demagogue
under such a law?
What is a fellow to do now when he
can't interrogate his candidate? A
representative suggested that such
evangelists as Sam Jones be it eluded,
bccause Mr. Jones had once called an
auditor <\i yellow-livered scoundrel."
Tae law is really quite interesting,
" A onviAiKk' fn ;P/?

what effect it sh*l: have upon public
meetings in North Carolinx. It is
ha d to conceivc of a political meeting
without some interruptions of the
speaker.1, and the people of this State
have been so accustomed to it that j
unoc-r .-ciously they would interrupt.
If o.-: L gieiature should determine to i
pass such a law, we would recommend
that it go imo effect five years after its
passage, so that people might have
time to prepare themselves for it.
Just think of it! Have to listen to a
politician anywhere from one to four
hours. a?;d not open your month!
Such a thing may be done i:i North
1 OiU 'J.ii.a. xJ it l iu cvuiu vawuii^f
2so, never I* We don't believe it. can be
in Xorth Carolina. When SenaB;>Jer
makes Ills next speech o.t
mo. and talks about those seven
^Bn^nulists selling their votes, can
Mjgonable man expect everybody
audience to put a seal ou his
mouth. Rea'ly if North Carolina
shall under this law give us ideal and
mode; political meetings, the country
will owe her ab;g debt of gratitude
for showing the rest of the States how
it may be cc;omplishcd. The majesty
of the law will indeed be a power
under such results.
'ins wQOieic.ie i^ii delivery at jloikvillc
shows that the old time jails are
not sufficient to liold the expert jail
breakers of the present day.
The bill for an appropriation to buy
books for poor children would give
considerable trouble, if passed. Who
arc poor children, would be the perplexing
question.
Senator Tillman evidently made a
slip when he confessed that the object
of his bill wss to enable South Carolina
to continue the monopoly of the
sale of liquor in this State.
Ex-Juece A. P. Aldricii is dead,
lie did a great service to the State in
the exciting times of the reconstruction
period. It took a brwe man to
take the stand taken by him then.
Take out the "bills to pension," and
very little is left in our national legis
anon ir.ese days. vviisn win an euu
be made to this robbery? The South
has paid enough tribute to have
bought her slaves over and over.
Tiie arbitration treaty will be left
for Mr. McKicley's administration.
The present Congress won't do anything
that Mr. Cleveland wants; and
as In wants the treaty ratilied, that
sc lies the fact that nothing will be
done with i\
V, r:i:x yen are in debt, the be-:t
thing io do, if possible, is to pay up.
T- q Sure and nearly all the counties
a?e carrying a deficiency. Why not
I-.-vy enough to pay wnat incy ewe:
If it is not wi?e to levy enough, then
levy e ;o pay a greater part of it.
A Youkville man agrees to pay
$1. 0 ?er annum for a period of live
ye:;r.i tc be used lor macademiziug the
public ronds leading out Yorkville,
provided nine other responsible ciii/.2i;s
u fie same. Ten such generous
citizens in a town are worth something.
Aiken, Cliiileston, and Greenville
asked to be excluded from the act of
ISOo Dl/ibiting coi;niy treasurers
from i'ub'isiiiug itemized statements in
the r.c-wspapers. Fairlisld remains in
the ac. TaX;'-"er Xo. 1 and Taxpa\ er
2so 2 will have to see our delegation
about it.
i r i> a!! very well to cat salaries
when thev arc too h'gb, bur chf-ap
work generally poor wo;k. It
seems to us that .tl.e salary paid our
County ^unet visor is little e.-iongh.
Ill- services: arc fully worth wha- lie is
now setting. It is not haw cheap we
can get pul>:io officers to serve us tlmt
should be* our prinsip il aim, biu Low
eiaciently. Some xnen might eon-cut
to take an office now paving 82000 fur
$10 per month. Liu the State would be
worse elf for their services.
The argument is ail on the side of J
the public printing bill. Okc of ihe
reasons urged again-1 th-; bi.'l is lliat
higher prices will be paid. Those
who make this point show that they
have not t.ven considered the w >rds of I
the bill. It expressly provides that!
no higher rates shall be [paid [than are
now paid to the public printer. A j
maximum rate being fixed bv law, it j
is idle to tclk about the public printing
j costing any more than the limit fixed.!
I The bill requires me orauer iu wuv.u
the work is given to funii-.h a bond,
I so that the State will be fully protected
I against irresponsible parties. This is
! a plain bnsiness'matter, ami this bon 1
I is required to be fully secured. If the
| surety is not sufficient, the authorities
| have the right to reject the bond
The real merit of the bill is that imprinting
U let to the lowest bidder.
} and the State will reap ithe benefit of
I competition. We have no objection t j
this work being done by the present
public printer, and we r.r; liberal
I enough to wish that he may succeed
, in so managing his business that he
| may relieve hirasely of the buabiis
j which he now has to bear. But no
[ citize 1 has the right to demand that
j he must thrive at the expense of (he
State. If the General A$;etnb y e:tn
j have the printing done cheaper, and
| save the taxpayers money, they should
do it. It is not a question of politics;
j it is not a question of whether it is lo
i the in!crest of Mr. A or Mr. I> to ras>
| this bill. It. is simply a question of
whether it is to the inier.st of the taxpayer-.
j Tiie Ycrkville Enquirer is trying
i to stir the people on the subj ;et of
better public roads. It has conic :o
the conc usion that the best way to do
i air. thing" is to do it, and hence the
I best way to get better roam is 10 g?i
them. It gives as an illustration of
thi-, that a number of years ago a
congregation desired to build a stone
wall around a cemetery, and an old
member suggested that a day be api
pointed, and all the members of the
church enne with their wagon, lools,
I S:c , and go to work and bui.'d it.
They so,>11 hid the wa'l cample ed.
! The Enquirer suggests that very much
th3 same p'an be tried with the roads.
It is not a Did ilea, and wha! will
make b-.t er roads in York Coun y
will mase better roads in FaiilieV, it
tried here.
thnt all those !ivin<r <>11 a
section of f-ur or llvs m:!ts cill -x
meeting of all tne iw-ighbor-. and
enter into an agreement th?t n.'xt
summer when the crops are laid by
they wili ai! work a scctioti of five
miles. Not simply throw a little dirt
in the ru?s to be washed away by the
first big rain, but irueal-mize it. A
few weeks work a!i through the
county would accomplish a great dc.j.l
of gooc?, and the taxpayers would be
fully compensated for their labor b\
having better roads. When the roads
are once macademized, it will req lire
a great deal less labor to keep them in
repan than is now expenueu on ukiu.
We agree with the E-iq-iircr; the way
to do anything is 10 do it. L-t cur
people improve th2 road-, and stop
talking so much about the bad road
problem. This will solve the prob'em.
Arkansas ha? a Semtor who hi?
uevsr made a ?p-?cch i:j the SemU\
although I12 has been thorj six years.
Rhode Island likewise ha? one who
has kept silent. S ?:.th Carolina has
one who has pjs-i'.>:\ tn .deone speech.
Perhaps, the country a- i;;rge would
be better off, if we had inorj silent
Senators.
Tiie articles in the State by Tmchcr
on the subject of higher education are
fill! or useiai liuormauon. ikiuuci
shows that a student can get an (dacation
at the Sonth Carolina College
as cheap as anywhere e!sA. and i hat
the State is spending much less th t:: a
majority of the S'a'es f>r the tinintenar.ee
of her State Colleges
If boys want cigarettcs, the) are
going tc have them, and 110 legislation
can keep ihcm from smoking the poison.
The remedy is with the paivr.ts
at home. They shou'd teach their
sons the injurious effects of cigarettes,
and if the boys will use them anyway,
it is simply a hopeless case. Legislation
at home is what is needed. When
that fails, State legislation will likewise
fail.
Tue South will still have her fast
mail trains. Some of the extreme
Nor.'hem and North western Senators
tried hard to prevent the appropriation.
The Southern Senators made a
good point, when they said that the
Soath was paying ten tim's the
amount of the appropriation every
year to pension Union soldies, and
this small pittance might be allowed
the South so that it might still enjoy
the faciiities cf rupid mails,
Tiie Greenville News thinks that
Governor El'erbe olight not to have
appointed ex-Governor Evans to go to
Washington on the direct tax mission.
The reason assigned by the News is
| that Evans las been associated too
mnch with the commission business,
and the people have retired him from
cfiice. While it might Lave been better
to have appointed some other person,
still suppose we point out the
good that Mr. E lerte does for a while,
slid not be too keen to point out the
things that we do not approve. We
must not expect Gov. Eilerbe to do
everything to mit everybody.
Tiik blockade of Chuleston will be
fruitful oi' some very inUivstinir ii>

bem very cleaily eslablished, t::a is
that ihe Charleston post can not be I
successfully blockaded even with the |
po'ivejfu! soarch-llghts, when there is j
a heavy fog. It is doubtful if it can j
ever be practically demonstrated that i
the port can be entirely guarded j
against the entry of vessels. Xo
power could afford to station as many j
ships as are no .v oil'Charlcston h t: b >r. J

Good breeding must touch a

The statutes ought not to be burdened

truth is that if all the rules of good
manners were formulated, il would
cover a gca'. deal of space. After all,
our manners must be learned a* Lome.
