C. THURSDAY DEC. 14, 1922 i 3k J RESPECT FOR THE LA.W % J * ************************** Mob rule means total disrespect 1'or the law. Lynch law is but another name for anarchy. When passions let loose in the form of a mob goes forth to conquor, the bars of the law .are let down by ruthless hands and the things we stand for are trampled tinder foot. It is a sad thing: when men refuse to lead lives of respectability. It may be impossible for the law to ;-tep in for a time on account of the lack of proof. When any man, or any particular set of men, no matter how constituted by private authority, undertake to ripht the wrongs which apparently exist, this act in itself is just as much a violation of the law as what the suspected may have done. There is this preat difference: That in the one case there is doubt of jruilt, maybe, while in the latter instance of violation there is no doubt of ?uilt. So long as we wish to live under the protection of the laws, just that long: must we respect the law and live within the institutions of the law. We cannot serve two masters in this matter. Either we must live with the law or we must live without it. Mpll mnv linl'n tlin Uo"*- J ? i-; .? u.. nu v Hit KC.1l I I 1 l?" I I I H > I I N in what they undertake to do; but can they carry out their designs in violation of the laws of the lind, and still claim that their intentions are. good ? It would seem impossible. Again, the law is of most use to those who will use it. Conditions in many communities in this country right now could be remedied if the citizens whose rights are violated would but take steps to have the law put into force. When the better element in any community decide that the law shall take its course .and that <rertain evil practices shall be stopped there is begun a force that usually results in relief. The crime of adultery is allowed to go on many times within the plain view of men and women who are disgusted at it. even shocked at it, and yet they will allow the bad example -to go on before their boys and girls without ever prosecuting the parties, because they say they do not want to have anything to do with such conditions and feel a great delicacy about being put down as prosecutors. The better class of men and women who are living right and want their children to live after them in the same wav must lay aside such feelings. and see that the laws are enflbrced. even hv hecoming prosecutors themselves. The law must triumph and not the disregard of the law. Those who win1.- at bad conditions and allow them to continue to exist are taken ,as favoring such conditions and it forms a sort of encouragement to violators of the law. If a man believes in the rirht and wants the right to prevail he must not hesitate to let the wV>ole world know on which side he stands. The man wh^? >s opposed to prohibition and vet will buy a quart of whiskey that he knows has been made contrary to mw. is certainly winking at the violation of the law. and he should not do it. no, not even under ^ the guise of claiming that he needs it for a sick wife. o ************************** ? * J HORKY HERALDING % 4*. ************************** You cannot fatten the hogs with boll weevil food. o .

Rut the planters must study the weevil and the better wavs of controlling him if they would have the best success. tO There is too much advice to go to the cotton mills of other counties. We do not believe in too much ofl this thing. Let the people learn now to raise cotton under boll weevil conditions and stay at home. o WASHINGTON COMMENT The Ku Klux Klan is avowedly a Protestant organization. As such it is anathema to the Catholic Church. Because of the regalia worn by the Klan, it is perfectly possible for men who are not Klansmen, to wear a similar regalia, and thus thrust upon the Klan the blame for unlawful acts done by hooded men. Without full and complete evidence it is not possible intelligently to discuss the claim made that, the Klan has interfered 'with or "dominated" the sovereign State of Lo'iisana. No such evidence is being presented. Various unlawful acts have at times been done by hooded men. Opponents of the Klan charge that all such acts are done by Ku Klux Klansmen. The Klan denies that such acts are done by authority and consent of the r?der. Defenders of the Klan say that it is no more reasonable to say that all crimes committed by men who wear a white hood and mask are committed by Klansmen .than it is to charee that all thefts commited by masked burer lars are the work of society prentlewho wear masks at a masked hall. There is much discussion, pro and con, goinp on in Congress regarding: the charges and the countercharges about the Klan. The wise heads in Congress holdinp the radical element in check, agree that if the Klan does t.b.ut which is un-American and unlawful, the Klan should, and will, he punished. But until it is proved that un-American and unlawful acts done in the recalia of the Klan are, in fact done by the Klan, the Klan deserves the same treatment accorded any accused under our system of jurisprudence; it is innocent until proved truilty. All the thundcrings of jesuitical mouthinprs, all the priestly protests, and all the intolerant fanacicism of the Church which is its enemy, can not make it otherwise. It is evidence, not opinion, which must indict, and a court of law, not priestly excommunication, which must convict. o CHRISTMAS ADS Brins: in the Christmas ads now for there is but one more issue before the holidays. If you have things suitable for use at the happy yuletide, it will be a mistake for you to wait until after the holidays are over to v^ish that you had disposed of them before.

Miller, of the Steamship President Harding, of the United States Lines recently sailed from New York for Europe on his honeymoon. The bride who became his on sailing- day remained in New York to await the return, a month distant, of her husband. Thf? bride was at the pier to wish bon voyage to the bridegroom, and the hundreds of visitors and the large crowd of passengers were quickly made aware of the strange situation. Purser Miller was twitted by his brother officers, and he admitted that he was reluctant to go on his honeymoon without a bride, but that it could not be otherwise under the rules of the sea, which prohibit an officer on duty from having his wife on board. He will celebrate his honev*noon on the return of the President Harding from Germany. The marriage of Purser Miller and Katheryn Collins is the outcome of a war-time romance. During the war days, Miller, a lieutenant in the Navy, and engaged in transport duty, was running between France and Newport News, Va. The bride of today was stationed at Langley Field, nearbv to Newport News, in the capacity of a war nurse. Lieut. Miller, during a visit to Langley Field, met Miss Collins, and a friendship developed. Miller entered the Merchant Merine service as a purser, and, despite his olTorts to locate Miss Collins, he was unable to do so. One day, to the amazement of Miller, Miss Collins came aboard the President Harding, she had been signed as a nurse for the vessel. The friendship which had broken up after the dark days of the war was again renewed, and shortly after Miss Collins had made a round trip on the Harding, her engagement was announced. Miss Collins ,since her war service, has been the head surgical nurse of the Bronx Hospital, in New York. It takes about a month for one of the United States to make the round trip from New YorV to Bremen. ????d ro it will be that Miller will see his bride for a few days at t.ie end of every month. Speaking .?f t.hi i the I blushing bridegroom remarked: "Well, we will have a honeymoon every month, which is more than most folk have." o WAS UNDER BOND Ex-treasurer W. L. Bellamy was under bond with an indemnity company in the sum of fiftv thousand dollars. As related in The Herald against Mr. Bellamy and his bonding last week the State has brought suit company to recover the sum of almost ten thousand dollars that the complaint alleges is short in his accounts.

I Raleigh.?Criticism of the New Bern fire department and statement that many high explosives were found in negro houses and seven were found in a negro church was made in the state insurance department's report on last week's disastrous fire at New Bern, issued here today. The city fire department arrived at the scene of the conflagration only to find it had not brought a nozzle and after that had been brought discovered it was without a wrench, said the report, which was made by W. A. Scott, deputy commissioner of the commission, who had been at New Bern investigating the situation. 13 ? t ww fexpiotuon in nomes. While stating- that both the Rowland Lumber company fire and the fire that swept forty city blicks, chiefly in the negro section, was accidental, the report stated, "a strange incident of the fire noted by Captain Scott was the finding of many high explosives in the negro houses and even in their churches." The report said there was one fatality, that of an old negro woman, burned to death placed the total loss at $2,550, and stated that one thousand and five hundred dwellings were destroyed throughout an area of forty blocks, leaving six thousand persons, chiefly negroes, homeless. The lumber plant's loss was estimated at $00,000. nnd against its estimated value of *500 000 it cpvnV'i n blanket insurance policy of $320,000. Bi * Losses and Little Insurance. The 1 in the big fire was placed I at $2,250,000, with only 35,000 of insurance. Most of the residences destroyed were those of negroes. The lumber fire was caused by friction in a hot box and the city fire fram a shingle roof catching fire from a chimney spark, Captain Scott's report stated. The lumber company plant was outside the corporote limits and had no standard coupling, added the report, which recommended a law requiring fire systems to have standard couplings. the penalties imposed for not paying taxes in time. o WILL PROBATE WILL One of the executors of the will of the late J. J. Williams was in Conway some days ago for the purpose of having the will probated. This will donates the entire estate of Mr. Williams to charitable purposes .and none of his relatives get anything; under its provisions. The will, as published recently, gave a life estate to his wife, but she predeceased husband so that an effort will be made to turn the whole estate into the religious purposes mentioned in the will. 1 r.v,ac tvt !
