Dr. H. Q. Alexander or. the Power of Justices of the Peace. To the Editor of The News. My friend Mr. H. N. Pharr in his . reply to "Many Voters" in The News of July 21, in referring to the juris- t-iction of justices of the peace makes the following statement, to-wit: "The jurisdiction of justices of the j-eace is fixed by the constitution of the State and they now have ill the jurisdiction the law 'allows' them: as their jurisdiction cannot be increased by an act of the legislature, but only 1-y constitutional amendment, I do rot deem it necessary to consider the question further, as it is not a prac tical one." I beg leave to differ from Mr. Pharr in the above statement. It is. true tbat the justices of the peace have ;:11 the jurisdiction that the law "al lows" them, but they have not all the jurisdiction which they might have vnder the constitution, and which might be easily conferred upon them by legislative enactment. Let us see what the constitution says in refer ence to jurisdiction of justices of the peace. Article IV., Section 27 reads as lollows : "The several justices of the peace shall have jurisdiction under such ltgulations as the general assembly shall prescribe (I omit civil actions) of all criminal matters arising within t';eir counties where the punishment cannot exceed a fine of fifty dollars or imprisonment for thirty days." Now then, is it not clear to any thinking man that all these petty crimes which take up the time of our courts and cost our county thous ands of dollars, can be put under The jurisdiction of the justices of the peace by simply limiting the punish ment to fifty dollars fine or thirty days imprisonment. And this can easily be done by legislation. To il lustrate, let us turn to Section 3708 of the Revisal of 1905 of N. C, which refers to that most prevalent of all letty crimes, the carrying of conceal ed weapons. "What is the penalty imposed? It says that all persons carrying a concealed deadly weapon, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, (now note the penalty) "and fined or imprisoned at the discretion of the court." Hew easy it woul -jf be for the legis lature to amend this section so that the punishment instead of being left to the "discretion of the court" should be limited as follows: "And on conviction shall be fined not exceeding fifty dollars or im- risoned not exceeding thirty days." Now it is a fact that many of the r.etty crimes like that of carrying concealed weapons have been taken f. om the jurisdiction of justices of ihe peace by the legislature, instead of the constitution, by leaving the 1 unishment to the "discretion of the court." . We passed a bill throuerh the House in the last legislature, putting several of the most common petty crimes under the jurisdiction of .uistices of the peace by fixing the lenalty within the constitutional limitations. This bill was tabled in the Senate without a moment's dis cussion. Now I would like to ask Mr. Pharr if he is elected to the Sen ate, will he help to pass a bill of this kind through the general as sembly and thereby save to the coun ty, according to some well informed county officials, six to eight thousand Collars a year. I am very respectfully, H. Q. ABEXANDER. 24.

' They . got a strong rope and tied her by the hind legs, and pulled her up to the club house, and tied her to a post. The next morning a search was made for the eggs and discovered ;i28 perfectly round white eggs, about the size of an average hen egg. This spe cies of turtle lays its eggs in the sand on the beach at night, and they are hatched out by the heat of the sun. Hundreds of visitors to the beach ob served this sea 'monster with interest and curiosity, and there were many pictures taken.
