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 the marines should have seated them-j selves or quietly have withdrawn Instead of doing either they engaged in a quarrel with the ushers, raised a great disturbance, and were neces j sarlly pul out hecaus,, they Interfered with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 | virtue of th,. uniform he wears, act the waggerlng bully, and b,> iinamen , able to rules that have been esfah : Halted In civilian Institutions 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.

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 | tlitn in 1906. '‘ hese tacts have been published be ; fore.

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 ' percentage of Increase in the cost of living above that of wages. They' withdraw attention from the still ! greater decrease in wages in the pres ! t nt veer, and not merely that, but the 1 Immense number of persons who arc out of employment.

"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.

In many instances the fencing of the land is by all odds the largest item of expense in starting a small farm, and often puts It beyond the reach ot poor men who might otherwise make a little start towards farming. "The hurning of the grass not only kills millions of small pine trees but It impoverishes the soil and exposes the ground to the heat of the sun, thereby retarding the growth of not only small pine trees but the large ones as well. The thing that Is neces sary to make the trees healthy and vigorous goes up In smoke every year. “What I have mentinoned and the many destructive methods being practiced In the, cutting of timber in the forest and in the manufacturing of it. Is costing the South millions of dollars of which she is taking no ac count, and the present low prices of lumber and naval stores will add to the destruction, for the reason that many of the owners of timber and tur pentine leases will not have money to pay the expenses of raking the pines. Our naval stores and lumber are be ing sent all over the world, and in the majority of cases w e are not making expenses out of our commodity, with a total loss of our timber which is really valuable enough to bring a good liberal stumpage. We are selling our turpentine at 85 and 36 cents per gal lon, and it will cost SI.OO per gallon to reproduce the forest from which it is being taken. The same thing will apply to rosin.

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. ATLANTA HORSE SHOW WILL BE BETTER Manager Wilkinson Is Stirring Horse Interest Up in Atlanta.
