C, APRIL 25, 1912 XL- No. 17 THE GREATEST SEA " DISAS TER OF MODERN TIMES. Titanic Sinks to Death With 1,575 Human Beings on Board The world has not had such a shook in modern times as has come through the sinking of the big ship "TiUnic," bound from Liverpool to New York, on Monday, April 15th, carrying 1,575 hnman beings down to their death in the Atlantic. We are told that it is the unex. peoted that happens. This is an instance which proves the truth of this much quoted proverb. The Ti tanic's passengers were preparing to enjy a social affair of great magni tude on board the day following the disaster, and when the crash came they were slow to realize the mean, ing of it. : 1 In less than one hour after the ehip struck a gigantic iceberg all that was left oi the magnificent craft with no leas than two thirds of her human cargo was at the bottom of the sea. The 'Titanic" was making her first trip cn the seas, and Was mak ing a record ran. She Cirried 2,000 passengers and only 14 lifeboats. The boata would carry only abont 60 people each, and a horrible loss of life was inevitable. It is alao Baid that sufficient die. cretion was not used in tha nutter of speed through a sea known to be filled with icehargs, and that they did not heed 'certain warnings to that effect. J. Bruce Ismay, the managing director of the White Star Line and principal owner of the Ti tanic, who was on board the ill fated f teamer, is censured by the press and public for his part in the matter, jje was saved from the wreck, and many argue that he Bhould have stayed with the ship till the last, as did the captain and other principal officers. Mr. Ismay denies being re sponsible for the speed of the craft, but admits t lat it was running 26 . miles an hoar, only a trifli less than "the mixunnm speed.' .. Atoth.r pha?e of ,the tragedy which is very grievous is fiat the good ship sank to its death with sno oor only five miles away, and an uu. identified steamer that might have saved all failed or refused to see the Iran tic signals fltshed to it for aid. Wives were rushed by the officers into the lifeboats, leaving hnsoands behind, in respect to the unwritten Uw of the sea of ''ladies first." Fathers gave up their children and watched them Lome away from them to safety. Several children made orphans by the disaster, have been adopted by prominent families in New York. The survive rs of the wreck were brought to harbor by the ship Oar. pubis. Several died of nervous shock and exposure on . board the Carpathian Bodies of the drowned are now . being recovered where the Titanio went. down. Investigation into the disaster is being conducted. Senator i F. M. Simmons of North Carolina is on tie investigating committee. ; Married. At the residence of the officiating J. P., E. A. McMasters on April. 21 Mr. Lawrence Duncan and Miss , Mabel Coble both of Randolph ' county. The attending couples were Walter JSIiiaon and Miss Mattie Led nam, Thos.

Immediately after the ceremony all were invited to a bountiful dinner which impress ed obb minds with the splendid, training and complete ability of the bride to accept the responsibility of nome, tier . The bride is the daughter of W. H. Coble of lUaueur, Jit, 3, the groom a son of U. S. f Duncan of Siler City Rt. 2. Their many friends join in wishing 1 them a long and happy life, but the young people re. luctantly give them up as they were popular in social lite. : ( Lambert-Presoell Mr. L. B.

Jury-Packing: Doomed Recalling twenty or more mnr ders committed in Haywood county during tbe last few years, a rural corresDondent of the Canton Obser ver notes the further fact that but one murderer, au ignoract negro, paid the death penalty for his crime. The inference from his story is that nearly all or quite all of the white murderers got off scott-free. He is led to discuss this Bub ject by a recent horrible murder at Clyde where an uncff-mdiDg boy was pnraued and wantonly shot dowri by two men. He has no idea that these men will ever be punished at all, and the blame for the condition which thus exists he places upon the jary sys tem which we have. He does not know much about law, nor a great deal about courts, bnt in more than one homicide case he has seen juries packed so that they were almosc cer tain to arquit. To remedy this state of t flairs he would have ten men of good character and standing selected by voters in each township, and their names kept at the conrt house as those frrm whom the jary to try all cases of felony shall be formed. This, he believes, would clearly reduce the opportunity to get an ignorant or prejudiced or partisan jary for the trial of a capital case. It is gratifying to observe that the need of reform in our court and jary systems is engaging the atten tioi not only of enlightened and public-spirited lawyers but also of the man who lives ten miles or more out from anywhere on a bad public road. At this rate the the sporting theory of justice, with the accuaed etj lying every advantage under the rules of the game cannot long sur vive. Charlotte Observer. New Core for Hydrophobia. A new treatment of hydrophobia was described in the college of phy sicians at their annnal meeting in Philadelphia, AprV5. While the treatment in its ssent tials is similar to that of Pasteur, it is so far an improvement on the old method that it can be administered easily at any hospital by auy physi cian, avoiuiug QiiOgrona aeiaye, ttuu the expense of Bending the patient away. The new treatment was triea nrsi on the discovertr himself, Dr. L. D. Harris, city bacteriologist of St. Louis, who owes bis life to its use. The Harris virus is obtained by grinding the dry brain of an infect ed rabbit,and subjecting to processes which render it into a yellowish brown powder. It is then placed ia hermetically-sealed glass tubeB for use when needed.
