Book on Rheumatism and medical advices without charge THE COm, A TLAI2TAt GL A VICTORY FOR 'THE STATE. The decision handed down yesterday by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of the) Armour Packing Company against B.R.iLacy, State Treasurer, known as "The Packing House Case." has In it even more than the decision itself implies. This opinion, which affirms the North Carolina courts In sustaining a revenue statute, passed by our Legislature, must be far-reaching in Its effects, and refutes the claims of the meat trust or any other trust that tinder the Federal constitution or the laws regulating Inter-State commerce, it has the right to do whatever it pleases, wherever It pleases without regard to State regulation, so long as it may be a foreign corporation doing Inter-State business. The Supreme Court's decision not only sustains an important State revenue statute and our own courts in a matter of Importance to North Carolina and other States as well, but to those who have watched this litigation throught a three years' hard fought struggle, there Is distinction and well-merited honor in the final wind up for our able and gifted attorney general, Hon. Robert D.

Gilmer. When the Legislature of 1903 included in its Revenue Act a' tax upon packing houses doing business In North Carolina, the State Treasurer and the sheriffs found themselves up against the Armour branch of the meat packing trust. They sent one of their ablest and most powerful attorneys. Col. T.

B. Felder, of Atlanta, with Instructions to fight the validity and the constitutionality of the tax to the last resort. Before Judge Erastus B. Jones, sitting at chambers in Ashe-ville, the facts having been agreed upon, the attorney of the packing company met In legal combat our own Sifted Gilmer, who won the fight In the first round. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court of North Carolina.

Here the distinguished visiting attorney again met In nearly an entire day's exhaustive discussion the able Gilmer who won out again, the decision of the lower court being sustained. Chief Justice Clark writing a comprehensive and exhaustive opinion. The case was taken on appeal by the packing company to the Supreme Court of the United States, and was argued before that high, tribunal-by Colonel Felder on the one side and Attorney General Gilmer on the other in November last. Every phase of every law regulating inter-State commerce that Apuld be applied was appealed to by the able Sum WELCOME TO THE MASONS No representative body of North Carolinians receives a warmer, welcome In Raleigh than the Grand Lodge of Masons. The membership of that ancient and honored order in North Carolina now exceeds sixteen thousand and In its membership It embraces many of the men of highest character and worth In the State.

In their communities they are foremost In good work, most of them living up to the high Ideals inculcated by the Masonic standards. The debt of gratitude due to the Grand Lodge of Masons for establishing the Oxford Orphan Asylum can never be paid. It was the first home ever opened for orphans in the State, and it was opened at a time when It required almost the faith that removes mountains to open a home for the fatherless children. The fraternity was weak then, comparatively, in numbers and In means, and the spirit of giving to the care and education of orphans had not been shown to be equal to iny appeal. But, under the leadership of one of North Carolina's greatest men, the late John H.

Mills, the Masons entered upon this Godlike work. Thy had many misgivings as to success, but they had courage and faith that far exceeded any doubt or fear. Without money and withi much 1 faith, the Oxford Asylum was opened and never for a day have the children gone hungry. The churches, the State, the people who belonged to no churches gladly helped to sustain it, private philanthropy erected new buildings, and whenever Us needs have been great the generosity of the people has been ample to supply every need. Not only have the Masons been successful in the great work at Oxford, but they taught the churches and other fraternal orders the duty they owed to orphans, and by their example helped In the establishment of the eight other orphanages that bless the State.

The great work to which the Masons have now addressed themselves Is the construction of a magnificent Masonic Temple in the State Capital. They have purchased a most eligible site on the corner of two main business streets of Raleigh. It will not only be a monument to the achievement of North Carolina Masons, but will prove In the years to come a profitable investment, and one of these days should have a surplus that can go to the care of the Orphan Asylum. The people of Raleigh are duly appreciative of the fact that, while all other orders and all the churches go from place to place to hold their annual meetings, the Grand Lodge of Masons always holds its yearly session In the State's capital. The people of Raleigh fully reciprocate the feeling that prompts this partiality and rejoice to welcome the delegates who are within the gates of the city this week.

That the most perilous of businesses Is that of the statistician Is well shown In a recent Issue of the Richmond Times-Dispatch In a. well! meant table of figures purporting to show the re sults of various businesses conducted In that city during the year. 1905.

The foe of the 'statistician is statistics and the man first on the ground has a deal to answer for; It is something new. however, fcr a New Year's compiler of facts to err away from roseate totals. That the Times-Dispatch did this thing, is a tribute to the honesty ot its Intentions the while It leaves the way clear for a number of Its best advertisers to romp through its col umns with unpaid corrections to its figures. When the people, concerned get through with their statements of facts and parallel columns, the sta tistician lu question will doubtless be in fit condition to see things at night For instance the table referred to Indicates that' there are in Richmond 164 manufacturers of boots and -shoes. That Is a profitable opening, but the result Is cne to make the factories sit up and shout through their meg aphones a hoarse and lasting hoot The combined sales of these manufacturers, sayj he.

are for the year, 874.480. While In the same paper In which this estimate Is made there is a. half-page advertisement of the Ste phen Putney Shoe Company Its sales for the year are estimated at J2.552.212.39. In addition and to niake up the discrepancy of the three hundred thousand dollars in shoe sales unaccounted for. there are in Rich mond such large concerns as W.

Miles Shoe Fleishman. Morris Wlngo. EUett Crump, and sev eral other manufacturers of shoes whose combined sales run well into the millions. In fact the shoe business of Richmond, alone. Is worth every year above seven millions of dollars, while the number of manufacturers does not exceed a baker's dozeru There are ofher discrepancies in the tajile refered to; -such for instance aa the line de voted to "pickles, flavoring extracts.

flour and corn meal." the combined sales of which are stated to be 023. We do not doubt that the Sauers flavoring extracts might alone reach this figure. "pin-money" pickets amount to half the sum total given, while the Dunlop flour mills is known to do a business running Into the mil lions each year, to say nothing of the other concerns engaged In the business of milling, and pickle-brining which are violently mado to do duty in double ttatistlcal harness. Altogether the table of the Times- Dispatch is curiously defective in that it fails to do justice to the great enterprises of the Virginia capital, one of the distributing points of the South. Without the need of coming to the de fense of that city or of lecturing the Dispatch for a lapse Into self-deprecia tion which is foreign both to its tem perament and" its well-known patriot- Ism, we cannot but wonder vaguely that it should have erred in an excess of mode3ty.

since we cannot bfelieve that it is really unaware of the wealth and importance of its own industries of which, even in North. Carolina, the people are well-informed. After this year's "break." however. we shudder to think of what the statis tician will have to say when it comes to figuring, up the commercial activi ties of Richmond for the year 1906. For such an underestimate is due a compensation which will make Atlanta look like a cross-roads town in comparison.

THE RIGHT SORT OF TALK. Hazing at the Naval Academy will probably be Investigated by Congress. Unless the grand Jury of Anne Arun del 1 county acts and indicts the young men guilty of brutality. (and it ought to act only In severe cases where there has been real brutality) Congress ought to investigate. If an investiga tion ordered.

It Is a matter of con gratulation that the leading minority member of that committee is Hon. W. Kitchen, of North Carolina. In his special from Washington. Mr.

Pence Quotes Mr. Kitchen aa saying "I am in favor of putting a stop to this practice of hazing at the Academy, even If 'it becomes necessary to' expel every Midshipman In the Institution. There is simply no defence of hazing. I would evn go to the extent of dis ciplining any officer at the 'Academy who countenances or connives at the practice. II That 1 the way to talk.

This' haz ing has come to be Ho. brutal that it must be broken up. There is but one way to do it and that is to break it up. It can be done only by such vig orous steps as suggested by Mr. Kitchen, and the last statement "the medicine that will dp the businesa" The hazing has grown to the present evil proportions In part because officers have winked at it or countenanced it.

If they are made to understand that if It is not stopped they will be dis ciplined, the serious hazing will bfe stopped In short order. The practise has grown np by degrees, and, of course, no officer has wished to countenance such rough hazing as leads to maiming and murder, but the evidence shows that men have been Injured and one 1 man has been killed. It' cah be stopped, it must be stopped, if the House Committee takes it up the country can rely on Mr. Xltchln to bring out all the facts and to find or make a plan that will be an effective remedy. There is no need of a tariff or Imported cotton.

ACT OR QUIT! Tlie horrible tragedy of Sunday might have been averted If the officials of Raleigh, put' office sworn to execute tlie law requiring them to shut up the hell-holes, had performed tlielr duty with as much' regularity as they draw, their salaries. In the shadow of Sunday's awful crime, of self destruction, tlie people of Raleigh say to the men put In office to carry out the law, ACT OR QUIT. There is plenty of law to shut up every hell-hole In Ttaleigh and put the Inmates on tle roads if the ofKcials would'; invoke it. evidence can be obtained If the officials, acting to- getlier, are ready to exert themselves to get it.

Of course It requires de termination, seal, devotion to law, ami resolve to obey the oath of office. Rut unless officials are animated by such a spIriV they ought to resign and glvc place to men who will do their duty. ACT OR QUIT! Every young man ought to make It a point to be punctial in all Not to" be punctial is to be guilty of stealing the time of other men.

The Supreme court sustained the North '-Carolina Legislature in the right to tax the beef trust' packing houses doing business In North Carolina. The next big case Is the Selma connection case when It will be decided whether a company earning two million dollars net Hon North Carolina business can be compelled to furnish decent service. The meat trust said It' eould do business in North Carolina without paying a cent of tax. The legislature courts of North Carolina said tJZis trust must pay a reasonable tax.

Jan. 8. At yesterday morning's service in the First Baptist church the pastor. Dr. H.

W. Battle presented the question of the need of a larger and more modern house of worship. He said the question had taken definite shape and an Investigation had shown that the present edifice could be remodeled, enlarged and improved so that it could comfortably seat 1,800 people besides having the necessary other rooms for Sunday school and church society purposes for $20,000. There were several hearty responses to the pastor's suggestion, all but lone approving the movement. A resolution to adopt the suggestion was carried with practical i unanmlty.

1 A resolution, was also adopted providing1 that when as much as $15,000 was raised, work should begin. In twenty minutes 111,000 had been subscribed. It Is thought the other will be In hand tomorrow and before ten days bids for the plan and the construction will be asked from architects and contractors. The Central Carolina Construction Company have arranged to enlarge Its already extensive operations. Mr.

This is one of tho several wsts to AN IMPORTANT REFORM.

Every day there Is additional evidence of the need of a thorough and radical change In the magisterial courts of North Carolina In many counties magistrates are "as thick as the leaves that strew the brook In Valambrosa," and we have a costly and Inefficient and wholly out of date system. In Raleigh, for example, there are over twenty magistrates. In some towns, so it Is said, almost every lawyer has his own magistrate, and if. perchance, a legislator hap pens to want to put his special friend in as magistrate all he has to do It to introduce a bill and appoint as many magistrates as he wishes, and he may appoint men who could not be elected. Indeed It has happened that men defeated at the polls have been so appointed.

The result of all this is that, while there are many good magistrates who are honorable and useful officials, there are magistrates who drum for business and have a keen eye for tne costs. The suggestion by this paper of radical changes by the next Legislature has been widely commended. In a prlvate letter, a leading member of Congress from North Carolina, says: "Tour editorial advocating reform of Inferior Courts in North Carolina in your issue of the 6th, is wise, timely and while you may do manv useful things this year. If you will keep this up anl convince the next Legisla ture that they should reform them, you will have done the State a great service. I have for several years given the subject a deal of thought and am thoroughly convinced that something should be done."
