LAWYKKS IX WARM IJ KB A TIL Solicitor Df-Larel the Jury Too Ilia! to Give Mate a Fair Trial in the Kdtrartlo Cae. There vat a spirited debate is the Wake Court-House Friday when the case against Silas Edwards, of Ral eigh, charged with retailing was call ed. The defence announced that they were ready for trial, but the Solicitor objected to trying the cane then, de claring the State could not get a fair trial with the Jury then empanelled because of the sentiment against Raleigh Evening Timet who was present at the trial gives the follow ing account of some of the proceed ings: "Declaring frankly that because of biaa on the part of some Jurors the State could not get a fair trial in the liquor selling case against Si las Edwards, an appeal from the po lice court. Solicitor Herbert E. Nor ris precipitated a spirited colloquy In Wake Superior Court to-day, gain ed his point and had the Edwards case continued. This was not ac complished until after Judge Webb had listened to extensive arguments on the part of Messrs. Armistead Jones & Son, counsel for Edwards, and the Solicitor. In continuing the case Judge Webb said he could hard ly believe that blind tigers and their sympathizers would pack the court house in the hope of being drawn as Jurors for the purpose of acquitting a man. And if the judge could get hold of such a man he would mete out punishment severe enough for the offense. A good deal of factional ism was injected in the arguments by the lawyers. "The controvery between the So licitor and the attorneys for Silas Edwards was precipitated by the statement of the Solicitor that the State could not hope to get a fair trial, at this term of court and the request that a continu?.nce be grant ed. Mr. Norris said he had gone rea sons for his assertion. "Mr. W .B. Jones said that the So licitor, if he had good reasons, should give some valid reason why the Ed wards case should not come to trial to-day. Mr. Jones said Edwards, who was under a $500 bond and who had over twenty witnesses, insisted on a trial." The case against Edwards was continued as well as the case against Tom Morris, another alleged blind tiger who had appealed from the de cision of the police court. for such sale be osed to pay for new home." The grand jury reeoisesded that a three-room cottage be erected in the jail yard for the Jailer acd his family, and that the present fcoaf be a sed for cooking acd a pastry store-room. Why Two Com rnunicotion Are " IutUhl Tlii WrfL On Tuesday night Mr. W. J. An drews, who is opposing tne as candi- ! date for County Chairman, sent me ! a registered, special delivery letter I with the request that I have it pub ! llsbed In The Caucasian. The article I does not appear this week for the reason that it is entirely too Ion (would make about two and a half columns.) It was prepared in the Federal building and filled with abuse and misstatements. 1 have not attacked Mr. Andrews in the columns of The Caucasian. In fact. I have said nothing about my candidacy through the columns of the paper. I am a candidate because the Repub lican Executive Committee decided on me, and I as well as they are op posed to turning the party in this county over to the Federal office holding ring, and Mr. Andrews is their candidate. When the Republi can Convention meets and they hear from the Republicans of Wake Coun ty, the Federal office-holding ele ment won't even know they are in the running. I received a registered let ter signed by Lynn Stephenson which is left out for the same reason that Mr. Andrews' article is not publish ed. If these two gentlemen will write articles in answer to any com munication that has been published in The Caucasian and will not ask for any more space, then I will have them published in The Caucasian. LESTER F. BUTLER. THE GRAND JURY'S REPORT. Criticises Certain Expenditures of the School Fund in Wake County Also Needless Expense in Making Up Tax List Would Sell County Home and Buy New Location Court-House in Filthy Condition. The Wake County grand jury made its report to the court Friday and took occasion to call some im portant matters to the attention of the court as well as the public. It is understood the grand jury had pre pared to make even more severe crit icisms of affairs in Wake County, but for certain reasons decided to with hold some of the more drastic feat ures formerly incorporation in the re port. The report shows that the of fice of the County Superintendent of Schools is costing an enormous sum and that he is also allowed $250 ex tra to go to New York each summer. The report also states that $900 was paid out of the county funds to have an outsider to compete the tax list, which the grand jury thought was wrong. The following is the report of the grand jury: "We find the court-room and halls are in a filthy condition. The men's closets in basement very filthy, of fensive and appears to result from bad plumbing or improper drainage and attention, and recommend that this be attended to at once, and halls and floor of court-room scrubbed and disinfected. "We find that $900 was paid out of the county funds to Major J. J. Bernard to compute the tax list, which, we think, is wrong, and are of opinion that this work should have been performed by one of the county officers. "We find that for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911, that the Su perintendent for public Instruction's office cost for maintenance $2,937 ,21 for salaries, $491.75 for traveling expenses a total of $3,428.96 for of fice expenses and are informed that the County Board of Education al lowed the Superintendent of Publiv, Instruction two months' vacation to attend a course in college on full salary, with $250 for expense ac count. We are of the opinion that this is an improper use of the public school funds. "We recommend that the County Commissioners provide an office for the Superintendent of Public Instruc tion that will be more convenient for the lady teachers of the county to reach than by having to climb to the third story of the court-house as at present." The grand jury recommends that "another location be secured for the County Home an dthat modern, up-to-date buildings be erected and equipped with an approved system of heating and electric lighting and a farm on a smaller basis be operated, to supply food for cattle an dinmates, thereby reducing expenses in trying to farm so much land. That tie present Home be sold and the money filed to-day, gfe Rooeth 17: Tmft, 105: aad IS nntsstrerte These Sgisres Inclede the local re sults jrterday. ha Ro?t car lied five oat of the al&e- tsssicJal ards.

Reported in Raleigh That Mr. Arm istead Jones and Mr. J. W. Bailey Will Oppose Each Other for Sen ate. The Democratic factions in Wake County are preparing for another struggle. It is reported that Jones and Bailey will opposed each other for the State Senate, which will mean a lively Democratic fight in the pri mary. The following is a portion of an ar ticle that appeared in Tuesday's Ral eigh Times: "Decidedly the most interesting positical gossip going the rounds these days is the talk of Mr. Arm istead Jones and Mr. J. W. Bailey as opponents for the State Senate. This Is not merely gossip either, but is based on declarations maJe by these gentlemen to their friends. "Should Mr. Jones becomes a can didate in the primary which is to be held the first Saturday in June he will surely be opposed by Mr. Bailey. This gentleman has told pome of his friends that if either Mr. Armistead Jones or Mr. W. B. Jones aspires to the nomination, he will find Mr. Bailey opposing him. Mr. Bailey led the good government faction two years ago and, like Mr. Jones, can put up a good fight. "With these men opposing each other, all former campaigns in Wake County would look like a debate be tween two Sunday-school classes. If the truth must be said, Mr. Bailey does not love Mr. Jones, and Mr. Jones does not love Mr. Bailey. "In the meantime both factions are said to be considering the best ma terial possible for the other legisla tive candidates." MAN SHOOTS HIS WIFE. Ii. D. Edwards Arrested and Brought to Raleigh Sad Happening in House Creek Township. Li. D. Edwards, a young farmer of House Creke Township, and son of Mr. J. T. Edwards, of this city, in a drunken rage on last Tuesday, shot his wife in the right shoulder in flicting a very painful though not considered dangerous wound. Edwards married Miss Ella Thomp son, and they have three small chil dren. He went to the country, it is said, a few months ago. He did not resist arrest when he was captured, but said he did not wish to offer bond until he heard how his wife was getting on. THE PRESIDENTIAL SITUATION. Ohio Committee Endorses President Taft-Colonel Roosevelt Ieads in Maine, While Senator LaFollette Captures Wisconsin. Columbus, Ohio, March 30. Con troling 15 of the 21 members, the Republican State Central Committee endorsed the President's administra tion, promised to support his candi dacy; defeated a plan to give Colo nel Roosevelt a complimentary reso lution and voted to choose Ohio's 42 district delegates to the National Convention by a district primary. The delegates-at-large, it was decid ed, will be chosen at the State Con vention.
