Opposed to the Governor.
There are not lacking repu
table and more or less influen
tial citizens who take the posi
tion that the Governor should
not seek to send to the peniten
tiary at least some of the "hon
est and good citizens" who
have taken part in lynchings,
under great provocation and
while laboring under the natur
al indignation and excitement
some of these most aggravated
and inhuman crimes have pro
voked. The Wadesboro Mes
senger and Intelligencer, for in
stance says:
"A person who has not lived
in a neighborhood where some
[good woman lias been despoiled
and perhaps, murdered by a
black monster, is not in a posi
tion to criticise the summary
action of those who knew aud
loved the victim in ridding the
earth of the vile beast who as
saulted her. The writer can
testify from experience that the
nearer oue is to the scene of a
crime of this sort the less dispo
sition does he feel to leave of
the slow process of the courts
its avenging, and he can easily
conceive how impossible it
would be for the neighbors aud
friends of the injured woman to
restrain themselves.
"The negro at McFarlan was
executed by as good men as
there are in North Carolina and
nothing is to be gained by in
quisitorial proceedings by the
courts with a view to their pun
ishment."
In Alabama last week a
white farmer, of standing in his
community, was sentenced to
the penitentiary for life, upon
being convicted as a participant
in the lynching of a negro. The
negro was not guilty of rape,
however, but, had murdered
a white man.
It is reported here that a del
egation of Anson county people
is coming to Raleigh to consult
with the Governor and ask him
not to offer'a reward for the ar
rest of the i participants in the
lynching of, the' negro, Luke
Hough, whose criminal asault
and attempted murder of Miss
Keith was one of the most hor
rible and revolting primes. One

DUIMIM, IM. C. SEPTEMBER 18, 1901,
A Striking Case.
Under this head the North
Carolina Law Journal makes
mention of the following case
which came up for trial in our
town several weeks ago. It
says :
"A very interesting case was
tried in Dunn a few days ago
by Justice J. F. Phillips. One
Mr. Ivey of this township made
application to his Honor for a
warrant against two colored
boys for the larceny of a»coat,
vest, pants, shirt and hat. Up
on his application to the court
he stated that the clothes were
out on the yard fence near the
roadside. The Court being of
the opinion that the clothes
were placed out after washing,
to dry, issued the warrant,
whereup it was developed that
Mr. Ivey, the prosecutor, had
made a saw-dust man and
placed him -in a striking atti
tude in order to frighten the
boys. The boys came on and
at once discovered the joke, and
took the saw-dust man and mn
•tilated-him. Mr. H. L. God-
win was employed to prosecute
the action and he took the po
sition that the clothes were
property, and that the boys, if
not guilty of larteny, would be
guilty of injury to personal
property under the code, and
that the case should be sent up
for trial by a judge and a jury.
The defendants were represent
ed by Mr. E. J, Barnes, who
said and argued to his Honor
in a very interesting manner,
that the warrant should
charge highway robbery and
murder, because the defendants
took the man's life and robbed
him of his earthly possessions,
and if that charge had been
made, the defendants would
have been justified in their acts,
because the murdered man was
standing in a striking attitude
and what the defendants did was
done in self defence. His Hon
or ordered the warrant with
drawn, which was done by con
sent, and the costs were divided
between the prosecutor and the
two defendants.
NIGHT WAS HER TERROR.
"I would cough nearly all
night long," writes Mrs. Chas.
Applegate, of Alexandria, Ind.,
"and could hardly get any
sleep. I had consumption so
bad that if I walked a block I
would cough frightfully and
spit blood, but, when all other
medicines failed-, three $l.OO
bottles of Dr. King's New Dis
covery wholly cured me and I
gained 68 pounds." It's abso
lutely guaranteed to cure

chitis and all Throat and Lung
Troubles. Price 50c and $l.OO.

Law Under Which Czol
gosz Might Have
Been Tried.
As the following was in type
when the president died, we
will publish any way to show
the law under which Czolgosz
would have been tried if the
president had lived. It says:
The maximum penalty would
be imprisonment for a term not
exceedingly 10 years, and this
might be commuted for good
l)ehavior to the exti-nt of three
years and six months, leaving
ihe actual imprisonment six
years and a half. Moreover, as
[the assassin is under the age of
30, the trial judge could, in In
discretion, send him to the
Elmira reformatory instead of
to an ordinary state prison. Of
course, there is little probabili
ty of the latter course being
adopted.
The crime having been com
mitted within New York state,
the trial will necessarily beheld
there. There is no federal
statute covering such a case.
United States laws provide for
punishing crimes committed
within territory exclusively
owned and controlled by the
federal government, but other
wise crimes are punishable only
by the state courts of the state
within which they are commit
ted, and according to the state
laws. This case would be gov
erned by sections 217 and 220
of the penal code, the former of
which defines the crime and the
latter prescribes the penalty.
Section 217 provides as fol
lows :
"Assault in first degree de
fined.—A person who, with
intent to kill a human being,
or to commit a felony upon the
person or property of the one
assaulted, or of another.
"(1.) Assaults another with
a loaded firearm, or any other
deadly weapon, or by any other
means or force likely to produce
death ; or,
"(2.) Administers to or
causes to be administered to or
taken by another, poison, or
any other destructive or nox
ious thing, so as to endanger
the life of such other ;
"Is guilty of assault in the
first degree."
By section 220 it is provided
that "assault in the-first degree
is punishable by imprisonment
for a term not exceeding 10
years."
Formerly the maximum and
minimum punishments were
prescribed by this section, but
that was changed by the legis
lature some years ago.
Assuming as is announced in
the telegraphic reports, that the
assassin is only 28 years old, it
would be possible, within the
provisions of section 700 of the
Penal Code, that he should be
sent to the Elmira Reformato
ry. That section provides
that:
A male between the ages of
16 and 30, convicted of felony,
who has not theretofore been
convicted of a crime punishable
by imprisonment in a state
prison, may, in the discretion
of the trial court, be sentenced
to imprisonment in the New
York state reformatory at El
mira, to be there confined un
der the provisions of law relat
ing to that reformatory.
Should he be sent to the El
mira Reformatory the court
could not fix the limit or dura
tion of the sentence, under
chapter 711 of the acts of 1887,
but he could not be imprisoned
for a person exceeding the max
imum terra provided by law for
the crime of which he was con
victed.
The commutation which pris
oners may earn for good con
duct is specific in chapter 21 of
the laws of 1886, which is still
in force. Section 1 of this act
provides:
Every convict confined in any
state prison or penitentiary in
this state on a conviction of a
felony or a misdemeanor, wheth
er male or female, where the
term or terms equal one year,
or who has a term the maxi
mum of which is fixed by law,
exclusive of any term which
may be imposed by the court or
by statate as an alternative to
the payment of a fine, or a terra
of life imprisonment, may earn
for himself or herself a commu
tation or diminution of his or
her sentence or sentences as fol
lows —namely, two months for
the first" year, two months for
the second year, four months
each for the third and fourth
years, and five months for each
subsequent year.
The rules governing allow
ance and disallowance of com
mutation are formulated by the
| PRESIDENT McKINLEY DEAD.

At 2:15 o'clock a. m., Friday night, the 13th, the President
passed away at the Milluirn residence in Buffalo, N. Y. His
condition was guarded as extremely serious all day Friday, and
Friday evening at 7 :30 he fell into a stupor ana remained un
conscious until his soul was wafted away by the death angel to
the God whom he believed and trusted.
The shock came as a mighty thunder bolt to all the Ameri
can people as great hope was entertained for his recovery based
on the bulletins sent out by the physicians. We devote more
space to the death on the editorial page.
superintendent of prisons, and
the warden of each prison re
ports monthly to the governor
the names of such prisoners as
are entitled to be discharged in
the following months by reason ,
of having earned commutation
for good conduct. The deter-,
mination as to what prisoners
are entitled to be discharged is
made by a board consisting of
the warden, the principal keep
er and the physician in each
prison. In cases where the
board recommends the with
holding of the commutation
provided in the act they must:
report their acts to the governor i
giving their reasons therefore.;
The governor has power to in
crease or decrease the term of
commutation recommended by
the board, but he cannot in-,
crease it beyond the periods
prescribed in the statute.
O.ne other provision of law
might possibly further shorten
any sentence imposed on the as- 1
sassin. Section 697 of the Pe-|
nal Code provides that the
judge, in sentencing a convict,
must so complete the sentence,
allowing for the maximum
commutation, so that the pris
oner will be discharged in the
month of April, May, June.
July, August, September or
October. This might make ne
cessary the cutting of several
months from the sentence, dp
pending, of course, upon the
time of year when he was con
victed.

School Days.
The month of September
sounds the call for the return of
j nearly half a million teachers
from vacation to the active
duties of ihe school room. The
true teacher will return to his
school better equipped for his
work than when he turned the
key in his door in the early
summer. He will enter upon
the new year s work with recu
perated powers—with a fresh
ened physical life, a more buoy
, ant spirit, a quickened profess
ional enthusiasm, a more com
! prehensive vu \y of his work, a
mind brightened with new
ideas Not all teachers will
return to their school rooms
thus elm,.need in value to their
communities. Alas, too many
will return reluctantly to begin
the term on the dead leyel & of
former years. Spch teapJiej'S
(haye not lived up to their vaca?
1 lion opportunities, and it is
j ea.-y to prophecy that the high
I water mark in their profession
al career has bejn reached,
j School people are fur more
I favoivd wi;h vacation opportu
; niiics than the average business
or professional man who feels
that to leave his post of duty
for long means financial loss.
,If long vacations are a good
thing fur mind and body then
-the teacher certainly has great
, | advantages in this respect.
Long release from active duty
gives large opportunities for
travel, recreation and for pro
fessional and culturing improve
» ment.
We trust that every reader
• has used the vacation time for
1 getting out into field and forest
'to grow in closer touch and
1J sympathy with the world of
■ I nature ; that he has l>een far
>; enough away from the scenes
of his labors to obtain new
• views of the world and its peo
■ |>le; that he has taken a careful
• inventory of hi* mental and
; professional equipment, noting
' the empty shelves in his store
room ;that he has taken the
time to thoroughly digest some
great book ; that he has spent a
| few weeks at some summer
school or institute, where he
has obtained higher ideas of
iiis profession and a better com
prehension of the sci nee and
art involved in his important
work.
A sorrv professional figure is
the teacher who, like the school
: room clock t when the last day
|of the school year closes stops
every wheel for the entire sum
mer at the risk of endangering
future usefulness by accumula
tions of dust and rust. Vaca*
