An extraordinary method of procedure by jurymen in deter mining a verdict in a murder case was disclosed this morning before Judge Moore at cham bers when it was found that the jury in the case of John Miller, charged with murdering a ne- woman here last summer, had resorted to a game of chance in rendering a verdict, and that the case had been de ckled bv drawing lots. In view of these facts, whieh were substantiated, the defendant, who had been found guilty .of murder in the first degree by the haphazard decision of the jury, presented' affidavit praying the court; to set aside the verdict in the'case. Miller this morning was to have received a death sentence when a disclosure of the man ner of determining the verdict was made. The affidavit was filed by the defendant, who claimed that the jury was even ly divided in their verdict—six for murder in the first degree and six for murder in the sec ond degree. ~ "The affidavit set forth "That they did agree, and did put two papers in a hat and that on one paper had heen written the words: "Murder in the first degree," arrtl on the other pa per was written: "Murder iu the second degree;" that a juryman put the papers in a hat and had one of the members of the jury draw from the hat one of the pieces of paper, and that said piece of paper drawn by chance had written on it the words: "Murder in the first degree," and that the said jury returned into court the result of their said pime of chance or lot as the verdict of the jury, when in truth aud in fact such was not the verdict of the jury." Judge Moore allowed the ver dict in the case to be set aside, whereupon the defendant plead ed guilty to murder in the second degree, which the court allowed to stand, and imposed a sentence of thirty years in the State penitentiary at hard labor. The judge criticised the ac tion of the jurymen, which he declared was an unlawful mode of procedure. The deed committed by Mil ler was one of the worst ever known in the annals of crime in North Carolina and took place here several months ago. He brutally killed a woman with an axe and placed her in a trunk. The woman's body was found several days after ward and resembled a slaugh tered animal more than a human being. The murderer, when caught a week later, was smug gled into jail by a circuitous route for fear of lynching. — Asheville special to Raleigh Post, 24th.

Extensive Farming Pays. Farming is a business, the object being to derive a profit, for no farmer should be satis fied With a bare living or exist ence on a farm. If there is an insufficient quantity of manure for a large field reduce the area as the labor is something that enters into cost. Concentra tion of labor and manure will give a profit when failure is sure to result in working a large plot of land. Much of! the cost of labor is in the begin ning and not in the harvesting. The larger the area the greater the wear and repairs of imple ments, and the greater the dis tance to be traveled while work iug. A crop of forty bushels of wheat on one acre will give a profit while twenty bushels per acre may not pay expenses. The reason is that the yield w 7 iii cost less per bushel for labor and plant food than the smaller, the land also being benefited by the better cultivation and treat ment of the growing crop, whether wheat, corn or oats. — Selected. IM.C. DECEMBER 4, 1901, i he Voice of Humanity. To The Observer's Raleigh correspondent, Dr. McKee, su perintendent of the Central Hospital there, makes a state ment with regard to the lack of room in his institution. The situation at Raleigh is as it is at Morganton. Some of the tories told and letters written the authorities of these hospitals by the relatives of insane per sons who should be in these in stitutions but for whom there is not room, are sufficient to make a man cry. The hospital authorities are doing the best they know how and none know so well as they the suffering of the outside insane or how great a burden they are upon the Kim Ties which must care for the:.i. The recourse is not up on these authorities, for, having discriminated as wisely as they can as to the respective merits of the case of applicants, and having filled their institutions with the cases seeming to be meritorious, they have reached th' limit of their capability— ; thing can be done except to dii-chnrge insane to make place i'or other insane and enlighten ed policy would not justify this course. Tiie remedy is with the people through their Legis lature. The most urgent need of North Carolina to-day, great er than the need of public edu cation or anything else is that of room in institutions designed for their care and treatment, for every insane person in the State. If every voter would put himself in the place of a sane member of a family which is keeping an insane member at home, or which has had to send one to the county jail or the comity home, or if he would imagine himself insane and a burden uron his family or in the'jail or poor house, it would not be long before the remedial legislation is enacted. It is the voice of humanity that appeals to our people, and they are too civilized, too humane, to allow it to go unheeded. —Charlotte Observer. OPENING OF WINTER TOURIST SEASON. The Southern Railway, which operates its own lines over the. entire South and forms the im portant link in the great high-, way of travel between the North and South, Florida, Cuba, Mex ico, the Pacific Coast and Cen tral America, announces for the winter of 1901 aDd 1902 the most superb service ever offered. Its splendid regular service will be augmented by the Southern Palm Limited, a magnificent Pullman train, which will be operated between New York and St. Augustine, Florida. % Uncle Sam has bought San J Juan Hill and 200 acres of that I battle field, including the block house and Bloody Bend, for $15,000 and will lay out a park. We trust the tree which Gener al Joe Wheeler climbed will be preserved and properly marked. "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.'' Questions to be Answered. » We have seen several times in English magazines and Ameri can northern newspapers speci mens of examinations of pupils in' schools and colleges. Ig norance abounds. It is easy to ask questions, and it is quite another thing to answer them. Many of the questions asked are of a character to perplex many faithful students. A mere study of a work on English lit erature would not enable them to give correct answers. Take the questions given by the in structor in Tuft's college, which we saw some time ago, and they may well puzzle young people who have merely studied English literature as it is taught. Here are the ques tions : "1. Name six plays of Shakespeare and two novels by Scott. "2. Who is the author of 'Paradise Lost,' the 'Pickwick Papers,' the 'Biglow Papers,' 'Adam Bede,' 'ldyls King,' 'Abou Ben Adhem?' "3. In what book does each of the following characters oc cur; Mordecai, lago, Becky Sharp, King Agrippa, Minne haha? "4 Name one work each by Wordsworth, Carlyle, Rus kin, Matthew Arnold and Browning." We own and have examined many works on English litera ture, and not one of them would enable the most diligent student to answer them all. Take those questions and pro pound them to the practicing bar of our largest towns, or to one of the religious bodies in session and see how many can answer those questions correct ly. A failure to answer by a collegian would not necessarily show failurfe in study or su preme ignorance.—Wilmington Messenger. Saved at Grave I ** Briuk. "I know I would long ago have been in my grave," writes Mrs. S. H. Newsom, of Deca tur, Ala., "if it had not been for Electric Bitters. For three years I suffered untold agony from the worst forms of Indi gestion, Waterbrash, Stomach and Bowel Dyspepsia. But this excellent medicine did me a world of good. Since using it I can eat heartily and have gained 35 pounds." For Indi gestion, Loss of Appetite, Stom ach, Liver and Kidney troubles Electric Bitters is a positive, guaranteed cure. Only 50c at C.

Wilson's drug store. • President McKinley's estate has been appraised at $200,000 Considering the influences that were back of Hauna, and all the president's opportunities, to make money on the side, how eloquently this modest fortuas proclaims McKinley an honest man. OASVORXA. r , Brirtl The South Dakota Bond Suits. Sifted to the bottom the mer its of the South Dakota bond suit against the State of North Carolina appear to be about these : In 1886 the Legislature of North Carolina issued cer tain bonds to prosecute the building of the Western North Carolina Railroad. The bonds were honestly issued and the proceeds honestly applied. Oth er bonds were issued by the aitcn and apostate ! n « r isiatiu'e uf 18G8 and afu wards r ;judia ted, but not so iu- oe. Their validity was recognized by the Legislature of 1879, and they were embraced in the act to compromise, commute and set tle the honest debt of the State. The holders were ottered twen ty-five cents on the dollar for them—not that they were not valid but that the State was "broke" and that was all that it felt able to pay. It was as when a man fails in busiuess and offers to compromise with his creditors at twenty-five ceuts on the dollar. The transaction was entirely honor able to the State. The holders of nearly all of these bonds ac cepted the otter ; the holders of a few of them did not, but held on to them. An individual cannot sue a State but one State can sue another, and some of these outstanding bonds have transferred some of them to the State of South Dakota, for the purpose, of course, of ascertain ing if North Carolina cannot be compelled to pay all of them This appears to bo all there is of it. The Supreme Court per mits the case to be docketed and will hear it in the course of time. The Observer repeats its expression of gratification that North Carolina is to be repre sented in the litigation by three lawyers of such ability and distinction as ex-Judges Shep herd and Mernman and George Rountree, Esq.—Charlotte Ob server. WILL NOT HIDE MY LIGHT UNDER A BUSHEL. GENTLEMKN : —I will not hide ray light under a bushel, for I want the people to know what your Gooch's Mexican Syrup has done for me. For four years I have been afflicted with Asthma, and could not get any thing to do me any good until I got your Gooch's Mexican Syrup. I took three bottles and it cured me entirely. I give you this hoping it may be the means of saving some one from a horrible and premature death. Yours under obligations, REV. THOS. B. WARWICK, Scott Town, O. Consumptives try it. It cures a simple cough as if by magic, and is the best remedy for whooping cough. Price 25 cents. The President's Name. We are indebted to the Youth's Companion for reliable information as to the correct pronunciation of the president's name. It is pronounced as if spelled "Roozevelt," with the accent on the first syllable. Or to use the Companion's own words : The president himself speaks it as if spelled like this : 'R' with a long 'o' as in 'rose' ; 'z' and the shortest possible souud of 'e' ending with a short 'v'lt'. The accent is strongly in the first syllable; the second syllable is exceed ingly light, while the third i uttered very quickly." —Pro- gressive Farmer. "WINTER HOMES IN SUMMER LANDS."

The art of making others happy is one of the greatest gifts that any man can court, not only because of the effect it has upon others, but because of the happiness it is sure to afford himselfj There are people who move through the world as a bard of music moves down the street, flinging out pleasure to all who have capacity to be pleased. Whereveer they go they infuse joy and happiness and fill the atmosphere that surrounds them with a fra grance like the rose and the jasmine. They are careful not to wound or to afflict or to in jure any one, and employ the greatest tact and skill in mak ing everything around thnn agreeable. They are sunshine people and carry it with tln*m wherever they go. How great and how royal a gift it is to possess the soul faculty which becomes music to some, fra grance to others, and life to all! Surely sucli a life is no mean thing to live. To make the power within us the breath of other's joy; to fill th» at mosphere in which they must stand with a joy they cannot create for themselves—that is the very spirit of religion, and should be practiced constantly by the followers of Him who spent His whole life in giving happiness to the worid.—Meth odist Protestant.
