Hart the defaulting cashier of the Bank of Tarboro, may have grieveously sinned, but he had the nerve to inflict upon himself the most serious punish ment. Were it not for the dis grace and suffering he brought upon his innocent family, you might say he had quite atoned for his wrong, but when a man has woven the threads of his life into others, and he then goes wrong there is no hope or help, but long years of aton- ment given in the most self sac- raficing labor and way. Hart did what he could to wipe out the stain, but he left a deeper, darker, and more damning one. It was cowardly to have so be trayed his trust, and then de prived his family of his friendly help when they needed it so much. beside offering in every resp MJt a more feasiable rout decide lly nearer. If this thing is serious ly threatened, the Mebane peo ple should bestir themselvei at once, they will do the town a ser vice and render one to thos i who do hot correctly understan 1 al) of the contingencies. INVESTIGATE AND FIND OUT. The Charlotte Ob server heads its telegram about the army in vestigation with “Whats wrong with the army?'' Now if an honest and sincere effort is made to thoroughly investigate this department of our government, there will be found much that is wrong, and a great deal more that is rotten, and when fully uncovered it is going to smell very offensive to honest Ameri cans. The Senate has one “Roof and while he is not the root of all evil he is trying to burden this government with a good deal of it. The sooner he is rooted out the better it will be for us all, so let us root. WHAT OTNEIt PAPERS ARE SAYING The good road movement is gaining volume and velocity all the time, it is constantly spread ing, and accumilating strength, Road improvement must keep pace with the improvement in vehicles in modem modes of travel, for these mark upon the dial plate of progress the ad vancement in civilization. Go to the National museum in Wash ington City and there note the the gradual development of ve hicles on wheels from the crud est cart with wheels made of wood sawed from the trunks of trees that trundled through the trackles plains, and forest, then see the splendid development up to the ten thousand dollar tour ing moter cars and the pulman palace on wheels. This same de- velopement to day distinguishes not less commuties that are ad vanced and taking high rank in social, financial, and moral pro gress and those that are drag ging through the mud ruts of ignorance, imbecilty and slug gishness. Confessing that many communities in there enthusias tic haste to secure good roads, lacking in information as to how to build them, much money is wasted, this has tended to dis courage and work a hardship, {indifferent knowledge of but it is the inevetable results mother’s son swore that he had all experimental labor, for alone Serious Absurdities ot Criminal Law. Montreal Star. “The Serious Absurdities of the Criminal Law,” is the suggestive title of a serious but amusing article by Herbert Bruce Fuller, in “The World’s Work.” That Mr. Fuller refers to the criminal law of the United States is obvious from the ca es cited, and also Trom the fact that he institutes a com parison with the criminal law as ad ministered in Europe, which is entirely, favorable to the old world. He says: •‘Europe’s comparative freedom from homicidal crimes is a result of Its habit of making a quick disposition of murderers. The courts there pay a closer attention to a prompt and de cisive visitation of punishment—wit ness tha case of the Indian student Whingara, which I have cited, and the more aecent case of Dr. Crippen. In Great Britan one in every four homici des is promptly hanged. In the United States we execute on the average only one out of every fiftv.” He cites a number of cases in which convicted criminals have escaped pun ishment through the flimsiest techni calities. The Missouri constitution re quires that eyery offense shall be al leged to be “against the peace and the dignity of the State. ’ ’ A man sentenced in 1905 to five year’s imprison ment for assaulting a i^rl, got off on appeal because the second “the” was omitted from the indictment. A Tex as man sentenced to imprisonment for life for killing his own child by cruel treatment escaped, because the word “did” was omitted. Similarly a Mis sissippi man convicted of killing and murdering, got off because the indict ment did not read “did kill and mur der.” Even the misspelling of words has been fatal to many indictments. Many convicts owe their lives and lib erty to printer’fi errors. In a Tennes see murder case the court held that the jury must be composed entirely of men who had not read the newspaper reports of this, a most sensational case. No less than 3,019 men had to be summoned before the jury could be secured. Four of the jurors could not read or write, two others had but an English, and through this fertile ‘field of evolution can the highest con ception of good roads be attain ed. Good roads are the harbingers of good homes, a higher, intel- igence, a thriftier, happier, and more progressive people. This is true, it is true backed by a a thousand sane and logical rea sons that have already been ad vanced, and are continually being advanced. not read a paper for ten years. To such intelligent animals are the issues of life and death entrusted. What is the effect of these serious absurdities on the crime? In the United States there are 115 homicides per million inhabitants: in Italy, 105; in Germany, 13; in ^France 19; in Great Britan and Ireland 27. There is an effort backed by strong influence to have the great “Highway'' that it is pro posed to build from Seashore to Mountains in North Carolina that the rout after reaching Durham then have it run South West to Chapel Hill thence west to Saxapahaw thence North West to Graham. The logical course for this road to take is for it to hug as close to the Southern main line railway be tween Raleigh and Greensboro as posible. Getting away from it is getting away from every ad vantage that limitless facilites may offer in every immergency, and immergencies are liable to be frequent to thost who use automobiles, and in direct and immediate communication with all iwrtions of the state through telegraph, and accessable to sup plies for immergency breakdowns The State Normal And Industrial School. We desire to call attention to the advertisement of the State Normal and Industrial College which appears in this issue. Every year shows a steady growth in this institution devoted to the higher education of the women of North Carolina. The College last year had a total enrollment of 909 students. Eighty- seven of the ninety-eight counties ot the State had representatives in the student body. Nine-tenths of all the graduates of this institution have taught or are now teaching in the schools of North Carolina. The dormitories are furnished by the State and board is provided at actual cost. Two hundred appointments with free tuition, apportioned among the several counties according to school population, will be awarded to appli cants about the middle of July. Students who wish to attend this institution next year should make application as early as possible, as the apacity ol the dormitories is limited. Mast of Maine Sent North.

The minister went into the pulpit «ml the first thing he saw was two men in the front pew sleep ing soundly. He cialled attention to the fact and one of the sleepers was aroused but the other slept on. The parson became indignant, and threw a book at the intruder, but without avail. To the astonishment of the congr^ation the minister unloaded all the booka he had in reach at the sleepily man. if the preacher had of used more time and brain in preparing his sermon he would have had to use less muscle in waking his members. The way to keiep a congregation wide awake, is to have a wide awake preacher, one that will notary to amuse his congregation by rehershing4¥hatiia8 been said in the pulpit for a half awntury, but preach something new and original.

Dorsett, The Womans Store, The VirginianrPilot likes to poke fun in a good natural way, at some of the “mythical’* claims advanced by Caro linians in behalf of Carolina. This, however, does not blind ua to the fact that she is a great State, with a great past behind her and a still greater fu ture before her. And her chief and crowning greatness lies in a sturdy, independent citizenship, which places principle before pelf, liberty above life. It is her people that have made Carolina’a proud past, and it is to these that she must, and may, in all confi dence, look fora future which shall give even more ample cause for pride. -^Virginia Pilot.

R TO SEU MMITOR AS JUNK. Old Puritan Will Be Rais ed and IDisposed of to Highest biddder. Worthless except aa junk, the only monitor Puritan, which was sunk recently in Hampton Roads by a high explosive test and aubsoquently raided, will be sold to the highest bidder if tha recommendation of an examining board to the Navy Department is adopted. The board found that the Cost of repairingthe vessel would be excessive and recommended that she be sold, a minimum valuation of $12,200 being fixed. The Puritan waa built about twenty years ago and was regarded as one of the most powerful coast defense vesaels in the worM. She cost the govemmeut $3, .395,455, or nearly as much as the great battleship Delaware, exclusive of her armor and armament. The Puritan’s only active service was during the Spanish-Ameri- can war, with the monitor fleet which operated in West Indian waters without notable result.
