MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
Quit.,, a furore has been rained In
! the North over the ejectment from a
Boston theatre of two marines of 'he
United States navy. It ts sought by
the army and navy authorities to
popularize these branches of the pub
j Hr service by clothing their uniforms
- with special sanctity, and when two
1 marines, rigged out In their uniforms,
wor< ejected Irom a public place of
amusement, It can be well understood
how such a performance would throw
the**- gentay Into fits.
It Is said that these marines were
ejected because they rose to their
foot and stood up while the orchestra
was playing 'The Star Spangled Ban
j ner.'' Thla was an aggravation of the
j offense of ejectment, since the army
: and navy rules require that men wear
ing the country's uniform rise to their
! feet, when this national air Is being
! play ed. Hence It. was not only adding
Insult to Injury to eject loyal sailors
| for an act tis loyalty to their country
and I liolr flag, but It was a peculiar
1 hardship to visit Ignominious punish
ment upon men who were doing what
the law required them to do.
If lln-s,. marines were really put
out of the house because they paid
this mark of reaper! to a national air,
then no words or condemnation of
this act of eject inent would b 0 too
trong But. thla could not have been
the case Reason Indicates that the
j real cause of-their being put out was
something else.
The ushers at the theatre probably
knew nothing of this navy rule which
I required the men to rise while this
nlr was being played. Even If they
know this rule, they knew that they
were then In a theatre which also had
j rules, and one of them was for pa-!
i irons to keep their seats “Down In
front” I* a ruin which necessity has
I mad,, universal In every playhouse.
Besides, there are exceptions to all
rules. If sailors are at church and
kneeling with Ihe rest of the congre
gation while Hie minister Is praying,
and a hand should strike up the na
' tlonal air outside the church, those
sailors would not then and there Jump
to their feet. Another rule, applies
hie to the time and place, would tem
porarily supercede tli* ruie which ap
plied to them, as everybody not an
Idiot would understand.
When, therefore, the ushers went
to these two marines standing up
when tin- rules of the place they were
In required Hist they should sit. the
marines should have seated them-j
selves or quietly have withdrawn
Instead of doing either they engaged
in a quarrel with the ushers, raised
a great disturbance, and were neces j
sarlly pul out hecaus,, they Interfered
with the rights of other people who
had paid their money to hear and see
undlaturbed.
That seems to be all there is to
this Incident It Is all right to respect
the unlfrom, hut the wearers of the
uniform must not presume upon It to
violate other rules of good conduct i
When n wearer of the uniform does
wrong his uniform should not proton
him from the punishment that belongs
to the wrong-doing.
ll will be a bad day for our coun
try when a soldier or sailor may hv |

A DEAF AND DUMB LAWYER,
I nst week the supreme court of
North Carolina admitted to practice
In the courts of Hint ststo a negro.

changed now. An applicant for ad
I mls-lon to the bar ts now subjected to
a severe examination, and turned

This knowledge prevents many from
applying who are not qualified, and
■ those who are admitted are neccsaai
tlv well qualified and equipped for
this work This must he assumed to
he the ease with thh North Carolina
! negro
Vutl he Is deaf and dumb That
stH-nii an Insuperable bar to the prac
' th e of th - legal profession, hut that
It la net so regarded ts proven hv the
fact that this deaf and dumtv appli
cant was admitted to practice In any
or all courts of the state This Is
i>lk-nlfleanl, and furnishes grounds for
uurstn* a great hope May not the
: time come when legal oratory shall
be entirely a thing of the pas: anil
when a suffering public shall lie an
; tlrtely relieved of the agonies Inflicted
by the afflicting tkvw of leggt gas*
In the olden time the prartlce of
law was all talk There was little
law. and leas knowledge of law law
I vers were mere pleader* at the bar
i Higgler* with wind, whose only re
Iqulrltc qualification was that they be
glib tongue to advocate the cause
they had espoused, hence in the old
en times they were called advocates,
a name whlrh has now become al
; most absolute, and any man might be
the advocate of another on trial.
The changes of time have brought,
with them also an evolution In the
advorate business. It was made a
regular profession, closed to all not
recognised as members of It. Then
! set forms and phrases were adopted,
and as the knowledge of reading and
writing became more general forms of
writing, In presenting Indictments,
briefs, etc., came Into vogue. This
continued to grow more and more,
and It. cut off to that extant the
I flow of legal oratory. At the present.
I time there are lawyers, of extended
practice too, who never appear before
a Jury and never require a resort ro
legal oratory. Yet these lawyers can
talk, and If occasion required, they
could deluge a whole court assemb
lage with the flood of oratory th'-y
could spout.
The deaf and dumb man Just, ad
mitted cannot do this. Of necessity
his practice must be by writing. A
man who cannot utter a word may be
a lawyer a great rhange from the
time when the gift of gab was the
only qualification necessary.
And may from this not. the hope be
, nursed thar the time will come when
there shall he no more legal oratory,
no more efforts to Influence justice by
a play of words long drawn out, and
no more torture of Jurymen and
court attendants in listening to long
winded harrangues. What a boon
this would be.
And so the eye of faith may see
in Ihe admission of a deaf and dumb
fellow to the bar of North Carolina,
the progress, slow but steady, the
world Is making towards the mlllo
nlum.
WAGES AND COST OF LIVING.
Wages and cost of living &
The July report of the Bureau of
Labor shows thßt In 1907 wages in
the principal manufacturing aut! me- ;
chanlcal Industries were 3.7 per cent
higher than In 1906, while the retail !
prices of food were 4.2 per cent. !
higher. The purchasing power of an
hour's wages was less by % per cent |

Ihe year 1807 was one of great ap
parent prosperity. It was only In
October that the financial disturbance
began, and this had, In many cases, j
no Immediate effect on wages. The I
effects of the panlt were mostly felt
during the current year.
There Is, perhaps, a sinister pur- j
pose behind the repented publication !
of figures which show a very sni i'l '

Important business of making Mr Taft

Neglect of Yellow Pine Forests in the South.
In many parts of the country the
most progressive men of the lumber
industry have felt the greatest neces
sity of adopting better methods of pro
teellng their timber holdings from fire
but In some places there still remains
much to b e done. This Is particular
ly true through a part of the great yel
low pine belt of Ihe South upon which
the navai stores industry of the world
is largely dependent A timber owner
of Florida, in wrtttirig to th e Forest
Service at Washington, talks of the
matter as follows.
"Speaking of fire protection: There
Is absolutely nothing being done. The
turpentine people, to protect their
turpentine timber, rake around the
trees during early winter, and then
burn the woods. This is done to keep
off the forest fires of early spring,
These fires are supposed to be set
by the cattle interests, for the pur
pose of burning off the dry grass, so
that the young grass will come up, on
which the cattle feed. In doing this,
they destroy millions of young pines
that have just started to grow and are
too small and tender to stand the
hent of the lire,
"If these fires could be stopped, It
would solve the problem of re forest
ing, as far as Florida Is concerned. I
have thought for a long time that a
no fence law would go far towards
stopping the burning of the woods. As
It Is now, there Is no regulation.
"What I mean to say is, that If you
own a small piece of land, say 40
acres, and had 10,000 head of cattle,
you are at liberty to graze your cattle
on my 10,000 acres of land, or on my
neighbor’s 20.000 acres of iand, and
we cannot help ourselves. If we would
catch you firing the woods and had a
witness to prove it, we could prose

owner, would b ( > compelled to keep

"The hurning of the grass not only

It impoverishes the soil and exposes

Our naval stores and lumber are be

WATER EXPECTED
ray week
With Exception of Clean,
Potable Water Augtista
Has Already Resumed its
Normality.
With the exception of the great
need of pure water, Augusta is get
ting Into normal channels again. The
ceaseless effort to straighten out the
city’s water supply seems to be pro
gressing slowly to the (initiated, but
those who ar e acquainted with the
enormous task and know something
about the great amount of work need
ed to sestore the damaged portion of
the canal are well satisfied with the
progress. No effort has been spared
and no time wasted since the actual
operations were started. Two hundred
and fifty men and more than half as
many men ar e piling dirt into the ab
yss caused by the rushing water that
broke through the banks in different
places. They will keep it up until
the gates at the locks are raised and
the water is allowed to travel down
the canal again and set the giant
pumps to work at the pumping sta
tion, forcing millions tfpon millions of
gallons of water into the reservoir on
the hill.
It Is a certainty, providential hin
drances excepted, that water will be
placed tn the reservoir sometime dur
ing the week, just what day, no one
can say. The pumps and machinery
at. the station are all in repair and
th e moment the water comes down
the canal they will commence work,
it is a part of the contract of the Wm.
J. Oliver Construction Co. to have
water flowing down the canal in suf
ficient quantity to operate the facto
ries by October 4, just two weeks
from tomorrow morning and 4t is
known that his company never fails
to make time. A forfeit • must be
paid unless the work is accomplished
by that time.
In the meantime city officials are
doing everything possible to relieve
the situation and water is being pro
vided by every available means. The
firemen at all the fire companies are
rendering aid whenever possible and
the supply of pure water is within th e
reach of everybody, so that there will
be no suffering on this score. The
water needed for flushng and other
ordinary purposes Is being furnished
through the regular mains and this
eliminates much of the inconvenience
caused heretofore.
Ali sorts of rumors are abroad con
cerning the situation, but there is
nothing whatever alarming, according
to authorities in all lines, including
medical men. The precaution to boil
water is pne that should be taken
where the purity of the water is not
absolutely known. I’eopl e are adapt
ing themselves to the condition of af
fairs existing and it will be only a
few days more before water is given.
When th e water is turned on to
operate the factories along the banks
of the canal there will be practically
no further inconvenience caused by
th,. flood and the hundreds of factory
employes can go back to work. Many
Of them however, are now provided
with employment and there Is nothing
complicated on this score.
