While none of the defendants
may go to the electric chair it
will necessary to abolish such
crimes as that tried in
last week called the Muddy creek
murder mistery, in which three
parties are implicated before
there will appear a reason for
doing away with capital punish
ment. It is all tommy rot to
speak of letting the man or
woman go free that murders,
and imprisonment is but slightly
better, especialy with a profes
sional pardoning governor. If
North Carolina had electrocuted
even fifty per cent of her mur
derers, she would have reduced
that species of crime more than
seventy five per cent. The man
or woman that opposes capital
punishment, unconsciously en
courages crimes, and are an ene
my to law and order. Limitless
experience in other countries has
demonstrated it wont do to
abolish capital punishment.
Don’t say that North Carolina
has a rigidly enforced law on
capital punishment, for she has
not, and never will have until
you educate the men that fill
her jury boxes. An ignorant
man is a weak tool in the hands
of a shrewd lawyer, that is all
there is about it, you seldom
convict.
Although Christy, and Mrs.
Warren the parties charged
with the Muddy Creek mur
der at Winston have both been
sentenced to die in the electric
chair in September, but watch
and see if it is not “a long way
to tipperary.” Christy may'go

Some of our exchange Editors
after Becker’s denial of his guilt
reaches the conclusion that pos-1
sibly after all Becker was in
nocent, and because of this doubt
that Becker’s sentence should
have been commuted to life im
prisonment. Despite the fact
Becker professed to be a devout
Catholic, we had no faith in
any of his professions of inno
cence, If Becker had been a
devout Catholic he never would
have become implicated in the
Rosenthal murder. A conviction
at two seperate trials furnished
the best of reasons for presum
ing his guilt. New York State
has too finer code of criminal
law to convict for fun or pre
judice. When its courts found
him guilty of murder, and fixed
his punishment electrocution we
were satisfied justice was hold
ing the scales.
If he was guilty as charged
and proven then he should have
been electrocuted. The assump
tion that New York society
would have lost nothing from a
commutation of his sentence to
life imprisonment is incorrect,
New York society would have
lost much from the very ele-
nient that’Charles Becker gave
the weight of his influence and
power too where he served upon
the police force of New York
city, in encouraging them to
do further crimes. Don't tell
us that the horrible taking of off

CALOMEL IS MERCURY! IT SICKENS!
ACTS ON LIVER LIKE DYNAMITE
“Dodson’s Lwer Tone” Starts Your Liver
Better Than Caloinel and Doesn’t
Salivate or Mai(e You Sick.
Listen to me! Take no more sick
ening, salivating calomel when bilious or
constipated. Don’t lose a day’s work!
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes into contact
with sour bile crashes into it, breaking
it up. This is when you feel that awful
nausea and cramping. If you are slug
gish and “all knocked out,” if your
liver is torpid and bowels constipated
or you have headache, dizziness, coated
tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour
just take a spoonful of harmless Dod-
son^s Liver Tone on my guarantee.
Here’s my guarantee—Oo to any dru»
store and get a 50 cent bottle of Dod
son’s Liver Tone. Take a spoonful to
night and if it doesn’t straighten you
right up and make you feel fine and
vigorous by morning I want you to go
back to the store and get your money.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is dekroying the
sale of calomel because it is real liver
medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore it
can not salivate or make you sick.
I guarantee that one spoonful of Dod
son’s Liver Tone will put your sluggish
liver to work and clean your bowels of
that sour bile and constipated w.i!it^
which is clogging your system and mak
ing you feel miserable. I guarantee that
a bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone will
keep your entire family feeling fine for
months. Give it to your children. It is
harmless; doesn’t gripe and they I'ke its
pleasant taste.
