The unhesitating action of the Asheville judy in the Allison case should be an inspiration to jurors in all places. Had Allison been properly punished for his first murder, two lives would have been spared. It is dangerous to frivol with jus tice. In this case, the jury did its sworn duty. There was no needless delay; no quibbling over technical ities; no swallowing of bogus pleas; the verdict came speedily, and thus the case is settled. Such action as this has a great tendency to stimu late popular faith in the effectiveness and fairness of jury action. Along with news of the Asheville verdict comes news from Monroe that two negroes, charged with murder, were, on last Saturday, convicted of murder in the first degree. The death sentence has already been pass ed in one case and a similar fate awaits the other doomed man. There has been entirely too much unpunished homicide in North Caro lina, and Mecklenburg county has contributed its part to the deplorable record. With these verdicts fresh in mind, it is to be devoutly hoped that here after there may be a stronger ten dency stirred to properly punish men who slay their fellows. When I was young I used to dream of scaling all the heights of fame. I said: "I'll make the old world scream when it beholds my wondrous game." And I had vis- ions fair of gold, and princely gems of East and West; for then my heatr was young and bold, and raised a rumpus in my breast. I dreamed of ruling hosts of men by virtue of my strength and grace, or, by the movement of my pen, to shake a nation to its base. But now that I am old and daft, and full of prunes and shredded hay, I say to such ambitions: "Scat I have a better dream this f day! Of all gold bricks the worst is fame; it only comes to grieve and vex, to make a man the daily game of album fiends and rubber- necks. If I can do some good to- day I shall not murmur or repine; if I can help some weary jay whose luck in life was worse than ' mine, I'll seek my downy couch this night, and my heart will glow, in truth, with visions far more dazzling bright than all the golden dreams of youth. I tell you this, my friend, again, and you may paste it in your tile: This graft of helping fellow men is all that makes our lives worth while. WALT MASON. P TO SETTLE CONTROVERSY. The committee appointed by the executive committee to settle the trouble in the sixth is an able one. Party harmony and success should, and we believe, will he placed above personal interests. The continuation of two democratic candidates in the field would stir unnecessary dissen sion among the ranks in the coun ties of the district, and might mean the election of a republican. It is confidently hoped that the contest between Messrs. Godwin and Clark, both able and fair minded gentlemen, will be settled amicably and without needless complications. The committee, after reviewing all the phases and facts in the case, will name the candidate to continue in the race, and there the matter should peaceably drop. - There is no doubt this time as to who hit Patterson. Mary Ann is to be the official seal of and guarantee of party purity. Anderson has been enjoying anoth er airship besides the Daily Mail. There was no temporizing with justice in either Asheville or Monroe Saturday. In order that he may personally see to it that at le-st seven North Carolina congressional districts go republican this year, it is now re ported that Mr. Morehead will refuse the nomination in the fifth. To accom plish his modest desires, he feels, we are told, that the job will require his personal attention, and is willing to sacrifice congressional honors for the sake of the grand old party. Hurrah. And again, hurrah. Such unselfishness would indeed merit, another hurrah were there no strings to it. Seven dee-stricts. We are amazed at the modesty of Mr. Morehead's claiming proclivities. Why not make it the whole shooting match before the pipe goes out? It is a noteworthy fact, that al though the cotton goods markets are seriously depressed, capitalists con tinue to demonstrate their confidence in the future of the industry by in vesting heavily in new mill proper ties. No less than ten big mills are just now being projected in this im mediate section. Think of Marion Butler playing the gentle role of chief party disinfectant. The : Richmond Journal heroically comes to the defense of the much maligned umps. "Republican row in Wake," "repub lican row in Durham." after all, it is lot exactly one grand sweet song. Cowles claims a majority of 3,000. What were the use to be a tightwad with optimism? Why not make it 13,000? This "respectfully decline to par ticipate" habit seems to be infec tious. Grant refuses to meet Gudger. Cowles all but refuses to meet Dough ton, and McNinch well, do you sup pose the angels know what McNinch will really do, politically? Capital City Department Confederate Flag Returned Colored Baptist- prieves- Commutations Mison s Meet - Charters Granted--Dunn on Naval Stojf. Special to The News. Raleigh, Aug. 8 The flag of the Fourth North Carolina Regiment, Confederate army, captured by the Second New Hampshire regiment, is to be restored to North Carolina through the instrumentality of the survivors of that regiment who turn ed it over to Mrs. R. H. Chesley, of Boston, who was Miss Caruthers, of North Carolina. The flag is to be sent to Governor Kitchin very soon and will be added to the alreadv large number of regimental Confeder- Jite flags now being preserved in the Hall of History.

Wiikii:s. under sentence of $250 fine and one year on the roads for selling liqurr in Nash county, gets a reprieve from Governor Kitchin for thirty days Irom August 5 at the special request of the trial judge. Commutation of Fines. CommuntaticnLi to fines are ordered bv Governor Kitchin :n the cases of John Brittain and Joe Smith. Mc Dowell county, under sentence o; twelve months for blockading whis key. The commutation is because the most guilty man of three accused seems to have escaped punishment Ly turning states evidence. Brittain and Smith aie required to pay fines of $150 each and give bonds of $250 (ach for good behavior especially in not distilling liquors again. North Carolina Masons. The North Carolina Grand iodgs of Masons committee on location of ihe proposed Masonic; and Eastern Star Homo for aged and indigent Masons and members of the Eastern Sttir has der ided to call on - the va rious towns of the slate for proposals lor the location of the home, the idea being to select that place that makes the most attractive proposi tion.

A charter is granted for the Lee Telephone Co., Thomasville to Den ton, for rural telephone line. The cap'ital is $10,000 and J. W. Lee one of the erincipal incorporators. Dunn on Naval Staff. Mr. Abron Dunn, of Greenville, is commissioned on the personal naval staff of Governor Kitchin with the rank of colonel. The commission was issued from the office of the adjutant general to-day. Democrats Approve Selection. There is general approval among political leaders m the Democratic nartv here of the selections made by State Chairman KUer for the special committee to investigate and recom mend to the state executive com mittee as to the sixth congressional district contest in which both O. L. Clark, of Bladen, and Congressman H L. Godwin, of Harnett county, are claiming to be the regular dem ocratic nominee of the party. Head ed by ex-Gov. Jarvis, as chairman, the others are ex-Gov. Aycock, Judge A C Avery, R. A. Doughton, and Theo Kluttz, of Salisbury.

Recorders Court The recorder had to deal with a crowd of crap shooters this morn ing, and contrary to the usual run of things the offenders were all white men. They were Frank Pendleton, Will Donaldson, O. B. Furr, Charlie Thomas. The four were in the rear part of the Tar Heel restaurant and had two dollars up as stakes, when Sergeant Voungblood walked in. So interested were they in the game that they did not notice the pres ence of the officer, who stood in the Grant declines to enter a ioint de-' door and watched the progress of bate with Gudger in the tenth, prob- the game for some time- After a1.1 tbe inajeis uuu iiuowu anu me winner ably figuring that the less said about his "glowing record" the better. In case Mr. Morehead is elected, we suppose this will mean an official confirmation of the charges made by the president against the balance of the pie brigade. The Burke "Beacon," a newly-born republican paper, expresses the hope that Mr. McNinch will be "returned." And in the reasons expressed as ba sis for this wish the Beacon displays a similarly amazing stock of knowledge. Were it not for the fact that our readers are too young to hear it, we should reproduce some of the things the Greensboro News and Raleigh Caucasian are calling each other. There is, perhaps, more to Editor Julian's observation than may appear at first thought, that the pow wow at Greensboro will- end up with a love feast, no matter how it goes. taken in the stakes the sergeant interrupted them rather suddenly and asked that he have a part in tbe contest. The quartet were asked to pay $10 and the costs. Biograph's Latest Feature. Edisonia Today.
