The Charlotte Observer, editorial-,
lzing upon a hill introduced in th<
Tar Heel legislature designed te
stop illicit traffic in liquor, says: y"
blockader caught with so much as j(
a quart of liquor would he liable to
a fine of $50 and a year in the penitentiary.
In case of a private citizen.
it would he $25 and out- year "
The News confesses n certain igno- ?
i. xance
as to the legal status of a
blockader. hut cannot comprehend f
the Observer's line of distinction. If
the blockader is not a private citizen,
lie must be a public service corporation.
or, perhaps, is in a cl iss by
himse'f We may surmise from the
Observer's views, that a private citiren
may become a blockader, hut
Xlever a blockader a private citizen
That is an unusual assertion, hut no
more ran he surmised from the Oh.

in the south endeavor to operate for
the week without an accident of any
kind. The object is to impiess the
employes to exercise greater caution
in the discharge of their duties.
It will he interesting to watch the
outcome of this movement, which

are preventable by due caution
