Jackson and Henry Ratley, the pro secuting witnesses in the case. before the magistrate, in which Seals was bound over. A Motley Lot. The Lumberton Robesonlan of yes terday says: The convicts at work on the Vir ginia and Carolina Southern Railroad form a motley crew. There are preachers, lawyers and doctors In the lot, and shoveling dirt is to them unac customed work or was before they began work for the State. Dr. Jay, who is serving a. term for killing his two children at Asheville some two years ago, is one of the number, and the man in charge of the work says Dr. Jay makes a mighty good hand. Big Comet, A number of our citizens are getting up early these mornings to see the splendid comet in the southeastern heavens. It is getting brighter with each day. ; Mile Q. Renaudot, a noted writer on scientific subjects and a member of the jBtronomicaloclety who has been ob serving the comet of 1907 from the 'Juvensy Observatory In France, has formed an opinion of what would happen In event this comet, which ii described as a great puff of wind, of fantastic shape, about 20,000,000 miles In length, would collide with the earth. . ' . - ' in ail probability, she says, the first effect would be a. diminution of oxy gen in the air. There would be ex tremely low spirits, a general depres sion,, a dull lethargio stupor. s Busi ness would cease and a cold terror would fall on the earth, until the comet passed away. ; ,f Then, with the dlmlnltlon of nitro gen and the Increase of oxkgen In the air. a great Reaction -would be produc ed. First there would be a happy sat isfaction, and irresistible gaiety, then would come nervous excitement, caus ed' By more rapid combustion of the blood In the lungs and itB.more rapid circulation.: A wild orgy would follow. The whole' of humanity would palpi af M iht beatlna- bt one heart and 1nhe end the brain would be attack ed omen. ; The world would be transfixed into wld madness, and par tranBflxed Into wild madness, and par-, ending in final exhaustion.

The Solicitor has added the 120th case to the docket of the Superior Court, now in session for the trial of criminal cases. The trial of Make Levy, for the mur der of Will Ray on the outskirts of this city on the Fourth of July, was begun at noon to-day, and by one o'clock recess, the Jury had been se lected and four witnesses examined. Ex-Judge Sutton represents Levy. There Is no question as to the fact that Levy killed Ray, but he claims that it was an accident; that he was drunk, and went to slash at another man when he stumbled and fell, the knife stabbing Ray in the leg, severing an artery, from which he died In a very ohnrt while. Lew made his escape, but later came to the city and surren dered to the Sheriff. The following Compose the Jury: L. B. McFadyen, J. N. Cameron, W. H. Culbreth, Walter McDonald, J. W. Lee, W. P. Powers, W. A. Baggett, W. R. Maxwell, Jno. Purnell, Jr., R. S. "West, WV .E. Wood and W. A. Grumpier. T, Stranee to relate, there was not a challenge by either the State or, the defendant, both sides being content with the regular panel. When the prisoner waa arraigned, Solicitor Sinclair stated In open court that fie would not ask for a verdict Of murder In the first degree. The trial of J. F. West, a policeman ot the city of Fayetteville, charged with an assault with a deadly weapon on JMr. J. J. Pate, which was begun yesterday afternoon,, was concluded this-, morning, the Jury returning a ver dict of rillty. vThe Judge imposed a fine of $25 and costs.

Smithy the youw ,nita jaw, Who was convicted Wednesday of se cret assault on Mr. A. A. Bucken, was brought Into court this afternoon, and sentenced to one year in the peniten tiary. . . - A little negro, Chas. Blackman, 11 years old, was brought Into court this morning, and plead guilty to entering the store of J, F.t Powers & Son and taking 10 cents from the cash draw, He told the Judge he wanted the mon ey to get something to eat; that he could not get anything at home. .He was such a tiny fellow, especially in contrast with the burly court officers, who stood beside him, that the Judge was prompted to ask him if he did not enter the store through the key hole. The Judgp also said that he was a de gree smaller than the little black spar rows, who were tried the other day for train wrecking, and that he might be classed as a snow bird. Judgment was suspended, and the Clerk of the Court ordered to bind him out, as he had no father. , Sandy Morman, colored, was con. vlcted of retailing, and sentenced to six months on the county roads. Longest and Largest Docket in Mem ory of Present Generation Report of Grand Jury. ' From Saturday's Dally. When so disposed Honorable E. B. Jones can give .abundance of whole some admonition. ' He was In that humor yesterday when sentence; was prayed in the case of young John Patrick Johnson, convicted of obtain ing a Jug of whisky from the South ern Express Company at Raeford by false pretence. His father was the recipient of a good lecture. The Judge told him that he was the one to blame for bringing his mother less boy to the doors of the peniten tiary by the example he set him in get ting drunk; that he was only reaping the whirlwind in the boy's emulation of the father, nor was the harvest yet over, and that he should be punished more severely than his son. To the defendant the Court said he would not disgrace him with stripes, but fine him and give him a chance to lead an upright, life, and he was rec ognized in the sum of $100 for his ap pearance at each term of the Criminal Court for twelve months hence and show that he had been behaving him self. A fine of $100 and costs was en tered, and the father was told that If It was not paid the Judgment would be changed. , Jim Long, the one-armed thief, was brought Into court for the jurpose of changing his sentence from .the roads to the penitentiary, the Judge saying that he decided to take his recom mendation, and sent him to Raleigh and Jim smiled as If his two-year sen tence had been reduced. Largest and Busiest Court in Year. It has been remarked by a number of persons who are familiar with our Criminal Courts that this court has been the largest and busiest held here for a number of years. In all 122 cases were disposed of, and the court house was crowded every day. The Grand Jury was especially deligent in its work of ferreting out crime, and found 58 true bills; made quite a number of presentments and entered a good many bills marked "not a true bill." Some twelve or fifteen bills were returned on account of failure to get witnesses. The Solicitor and the Grand Jury are to be commended for the diligent manner in which they have tried to break up the many "blind tigers" of the county, there having been thirty or forty of these cases disposed of. Judge E. B. Jones has been highly commended by everyone for the busi nesslike and expeditious manner in which he has conducted the court. His charge to the several Juries have been eminently fair; his advice to defend ants convicted of crime has been point ed and pertinent and his sentences have showed that he believed In dis pensing Justice, seasoned with mercy. Judge Jones will hold our Civil and Criminal Courts this fall, and all suit ors may rest assured that they will get a fair and Impartial trial in his court. The court will not adjourned until this evening. Cases Disposed Of. Other cases disposed of since yes terday afternoon were: Walter Vest, larceny, guilty; four months on county roads. Lena Strange, forcible trespass; not guilty. Roger Brown, who was convicted of retailing Thursday, was sentenced to pay a fine ot $100 and costs, other wise he goes to the roads for 90 days. Charles Tyson, white, making whis ky; Jury verdict not guilty. So far this court has imposed fines amounting to $476; sentences to" the roads aggregate 89 months, and to the penitentiary aggregating 48 months. ' Report of Grand Jury. The Grand Jury, which adjourned last night, reported as follows: To His Honor, Judge Jones: The Grand Jury has passed on and found B8 true bills of Indictment.

' s THE SOUTHERN LIFE IN NEW QUARTERS." Is Growing Rapidly. It should be a source of great pride to the people of Fayetteville and this section to know that the Southern Life Insurance Company is growing rapidly This institution will bring to, Fayetteville over $200,000.00 In premium receipts from January 1, The company Is now operating In four States and Is writing insurance at the rate ot about $400,000.09 . per month. " "" ;'v:r:'.? ' This Institution has Just moved into the Thornton building to their hand some new quarters In the Hinsdale and Beasley building. The company purchased from the National Bank the two story building formerly occupied by the Bank, and have made many im provements In same. A new vault has been erected on the second floor and Improvements made on the Interior. The company now occupies the second floor, together with the two offices In the Beasley building and two offices in the Hinsdale building. The company, with new facilities and progressive methods, is extending Its line of operation and it is a ques tion of only a short time before "The Southern Life" will be one of the larg est, if not the largest, institution of Its kind in the South. The first floor of this building Is oc cupied by another new enterprise, which Is having remarkable success the Scottish Fire Insurance Company. Both are home enterprises, and deser ve all the good fortune they may seek. "In Peace Prepare for War." For the Observer. The heading of this article Is a profound and salutary political maxim and war is coming. The advocates of the proposed new county of Glenn, who were defeated before the last leg islature, will make the fight again, and they are well organized. There is nothing blameable In their action; on the contrary, it is praiseworthy, as showing their vlllgance of their de velopment and their Industrial Inter ests. Should we have Glenn county. doubtless Raeford would be its seat a great advantage to all that town's tributary country. But it is a grave issue with the re mainder of this county. Should the county of Glenn be' formed Cumber land would become politically doubt ful, having lost part of Its Democratic strongholds and, unless signs and por tents fall, we are going to need all the votes we can rake and scrape. Well in advance of the coming contest, we should meet organization with organi zation, or we may be "caught nap ping." We may depend on the ability and watchfulness of Mr. Charles G. Rose, the excellent chairman of the Democratic county executive commit tee, but we must be ready to hold up his hands when he calls for help. But war Is coming from a new quar ter. If there be anything in surface indications, Into the legislative and United States Senatorial canvasses a year hence are to be Injected fea tures new to the party. The question is not which the Demcratlc party wants for United States Senator, Ov erman or Glenn, nor is the question whether or not prohibition, as a State measure, is a good thing for North Carolina. The serious question con fronting the Democracy Is whether or not it shall enter the campaign of 1908, handicapped by a "combine," In which men are to be elected to both branches of the legislature, condition ally on pledges to pass a certain law and to vote for a certain man for of fice. As this movement is already in agi tation, in ten months it will have so solidified and chrystallzed as to make the State nominating convention "cut and dried," its assembling perfunctory, Its mission forestalled, Its action a farce, and every right ot the minority absolutely nullified, despite any plan ot the party organization. This "com bine" will create disaffection .in the party ranks and cause dissatisfaction to the minority ; and the Republican party, seizing the opportunity bt oar weakness and want of harmony, will make a mighty effort to capture coun ties and parts of counties in the per sonnel of the legislature. For years It has been the policy of the North Carolina Democracy, ta citly understood and avowed ly expressed, to regard the liquor question as a moral question, not to be thrust Into a political cam paign. State prohibition may be a good thing, and its adherents, as indi viduals, have a right to advocate it But it has not the imprimatur of the Democratic party assembled In con vention, and enunciating its principles by its platform; and no branch of the party has a right to commit the Dem ocracy, in advance" of Its State' cc-iP ventlon, to this or any other measure -even though it be led by the Gov ernor ot North Carolina. Suppose that the Democratic con vention pf 190.8 declares against the party's adoption bl State prohibition) what will be Governor Glenn's attitude after that convention? J. H. MYROVER.
