UNFORTUNATE DECISIONS.
r
The decision of Solicitor Long to al
low Lee Mcllargue to get away with 11
a manslaughter charge was unfortu- :l
nate, to put it mildly. Ilis decision 11
wiis not more unfortunate, however. 4
than the sentence of Judge Webb. 1
Sheriff Prqpst was endeavoring to s
carry out liis duty us an ofiicer of the
law when he was idiot down by Mr- “
Hargue. It.may have been that the
State could not prove malicious intent
to show that Macllargue had <i
out with the intent to kill the Deputy I
Sheriff, but that does not get around 1
the fact that Macllargue shot to kill «
even after he lmd been told to sur- v
render by the officers and after he saw (1
the officers with drawn guns on him. 1
Is the State willing to say th|t Jlie t
shooting was more or less of an acci- 1
dent.? Or that Mr. Propst was tyll- t
ed while Macllargue was shooting at \
someone else? I
The sentence is a bad example to set
before other people who may hold a I
grudge against officers. What would the t
average man care for two years in the i
State penitentiary if he could get even 1
with some officer? We are not inti- 1
mating that Macllargue had anything i
against Mr. Propst." but if he can get 1
off with two years after shooting down i
in cold blood an officer in the perform- 1
a lice of liis duty certain criminals
might be led to believe that they could s
escape withji sentence equally as light. 1
Officers have none too much protec
tion when they are hacked wijli the fuff i
power of the courts, and to let a man r
escape with a two or three year sen- i
fence after literally ‘taking a town” 1
and then shooting down an officer will ’
tend to create more disrespect of our 1
laws.
When sentence was pronounced
Macllargue is quoted as saying with a
smile, “It mighty have been worse.” lie
was exactly right. We are not sur
prised that he smiled, and we expect |
there are criminals in many parts of .
the State who smiled when they read
of this ease, it is {-nought to make ev
eryone smile except those people who
lielieve that officers should be protect
ed and pistol toters and users given
the full limit of the law.
It is hard to understand why So
licitor Long and other counsel for the
State agreed to the manslaughter ver
dict, but it is even harder to under
stand why Judge Webb gave the man
almost as light a sentence as he could
have given him. The fact that Solici
tor Long agreed to a manslaughter
plea might indicate that he thought"
the Rowan jury would free Mac-
Ha rgue, but we cati't believe this. If
such men as Macllargue are to be
freed we might as well discontinue our
courts.
A SUGGESTION.
Concord's no# administi«ition jjot
underway officially Thursday night,
ami it tackled the problems confront
ing it with a determination that should
bring fine results to the city within
the next two years. The hoard of al
dermen is composed of men who have
made good in tlieir business enterpris
es and as they are the kind of men
that will give the city their best
* thought ami interest* it is only reason
able to. suppose that they will guard
the city's’interests with the same zeal
that they displayed in the manage
ment of their own affairs. * __
We understand that the board is to
inaugurate a period of economy in the
citv. and while we agree with
principle we hope at tlio same time that
the members of the board will give
serious consideration tq the proposal
that an athletic field be built by the
city at the new high school. The stu
dents need and deserve an addition to
the high school plant, and the money
expended for the project would be
wisely invested.
THE UNDERPASS.
According to information which Mr.
Dunlap, State Highway Engineer lo
cated here, is said to have received, an
underpass will be constructed on the
Kannapolis road to take the place of
the present grade crossing at Cook’s
Crossing. Work will he started on the
project at once.
We think the underpass will prove
more satisfactory than the proposed
overhead bridge. And it is eertalndhat
local opinion favored the underpass,
for it will serve more people of the
county. The pass will mean that peo
ple driving to Kannapolis from Town
ships Nos. 1* and 3 will not have to use
the grade crossing, which they would
have been compelled to use if the ov
erhead bridge had been built. The un-
Jerpass will be safer, too, we believe,
though drivers will have to approach
it with caution, as they have to do ,
with every underpass.
The County Commissioners and a ,
number of citizens of the county were
leard in the matter and it appears that
their opinion had some weight, for it
is known that the Southern Railway :
Company favored the bridge. Com
missioner Wilkinson, however, is said
to have favored the underpass plan
from the beginning, and it is to he sup
posed that he had more influence than ;
mvone else in the final location of the .
route. 1 i
The Kannapolis road is one of the ]
most important, in North Carolina. .
tnd now that the route has been defi
nitely decided upon, it is to he hoped j
that the work on the road will lie i
pushed forward with all practical ]
'peed. ;

•NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP”
I)r. MeQuire Newton, tine ot the most :
listinguished child specialists in the <
United States, died recently at liis 1
tiome in'Richmond, death being due to
i large extent to his great practice,
which he was unable to get away from,
wen after becoming ill. In telling ot J
liis death the Richmond papers said
the specialist was strengthened in his
last illness by the knowledge- that ;
thousands of children in Richmond
were praying for him. One Richmond
paper quotes a gentleman as saying:
‘‘The prayers were not unavailing.
He was conscious that others were sus
taining him and often in semi-delir
ium he would murmur the prayers he
had so often heard from the lips of
liis little patients. It was touching
in the Cxtreme/to hear this brilliant
physician brought to childhood again
and whispering at darkness,‘‘Now I
lay me. down to sleep’.”
l)r. Newton did much for children
and it is right that he should know of
the great love people bore for him.
The people of Richmond did not wait
until lie was dead to sing his praises.
They let him know they, were think
ing of him and praying that he would
throw off the fatal malady. This
world rwill he a bettor place in which
to live when the practicing of prais
ing one while alive instead, of waiting
until they arejTead becomes general.
PRISON INVESTIGATIONS.
Governor Morrison promises to pre
cipitate a lively battle by his request
to the Board of Charities and Public
Welfare that he he allowed to conduct
the investigation into conditions at the
prisons of the State. The Governor
formerly had asked the board members
to conduct the investigation but last
| week he decided that lie wanted to
conduct the inquiry personally. His
request has already brought forth
much comment from various sources
in the State, and while the hoard is
almost certain to grant the request of
Mr. Morrison its members are not cer
tain to feel that he is not making a
mistake, according to indications and
intimations coming from the Statc
capital.
Due to the great publicity that lias
been giveu the investigation recently,
it seems to us that the inquiry iiself
is of the greatest importance nqd u e
question of who is to conduct, it pro:*-
ably comes next. If nothing had been
said by Governor Morrison or fhem
bers of the board of .charities when
charges were first made that prison
ms in the State penal institutions were
not fairly treated, then the investiga
tion would not be needed, but too much
jlias been said ndw for the matter to
>be dropped, and the .people of the
State demand that a full investigation
be made and all of the facts made
public.
Governor Morrison states that he
| wants to make the investigation him
' self because within the next several
| weeks he wants to inaugurate in
» North Carolina “an up-to-date prison
* system.** He also declares that his
K investigation need not interfere with
ont? proposed by the board of chari
ties and welfare, but that he does not
want the latter made upon his re
quest, as would have been done if be
had nojt withdrawn his request.
Tl\e fuller the investigation the bet
ter, we believe. If there is anything
wrong at the Raleigh prison or any of
the others the public should know and
it will not be long until the trouble is
ioroned out. -
It would seem that the question of
whether or riot prisoners in this coun
ty have been treated cruelly is an
swered for the present. The board of
county commissioners finds after an
investigation that the men have not
been treated cruelly and tlie board
members were basing tlieir report on
statements made by the prisoners
themselves.
We think the commissioners are to
be commended for the manner in which,
they tackled the proposition in this
county. Tlie grand jury report stated
that •prisoners were not treated right,
and we have no doubt that the report
was based on statements made by the
prisoners, and the commissioners gave
every man in the camps an opportun
ity to give his version of camp life
in an effort to get at the facts. They
not only secured these facts but they
studied them and made them the sub
ject of a long meeting. And when all
of tlie facts had been boiled down
the substance was evident, the com
missioners found that the prisoners
had not been cruelly treated, though'
some changes in the management of
the camps was recommended and bet
ter food was ordered.
A full investigation is the best way
to decide questions of this kind, C’a
harrus county received some unfavor-*
able publicity in regard to the condi
tions at the camp and we think it was
but fail 1 and right that the commis
sioners should make a thorough inves.-
tigationi They have statements of
prisoners and persons who may think
the Report was not just wliat it should
have been Could see the statements
and decide for themselves just how
had conditions have been at the
Members of the hoard are men of un
questionable character, however, and
now that they have rendered tlieir ver
dict we do not expect that verdict to
lie igiestioned. ,
Let’s have a full investigation at
Raleigh and the other Stale camps.
We should keep nothing from the pub
lic.
The State of North Carolina will
get about so,[>oo,ooo next year for road
work. Hit* money to be raised from au
to and gasoline taxi's. The people
who will pay the taxes will not feel
them in the long run, for when a man
starts with his auto on a journey no
forgets money and everything. We
are enjoying good roads now and soon
wo will have even better roads, as a
whole, and it is right that the people
who enjoy them should pay for them.

EfISCOPAMAXS CRITICISE CAW-
Episcopal Cleirgyman, Favoring lie
peal of Dry Law, Admits He Likes
His Wine.
New York, May 9.—A spirited de
bate over prohibition and its enforce
ment today marked the close of the
annual convention of Protestant
Episcopal diocese of New York, wnich
finally adopted a resolution request
ing Governor 'Smith not to sign the
hill which would repeal -the prohibi
tion enforcement act.
As originally submitted toy the
committee on miscellaneous business,
the resolution opposed signing of the
repealer “in the interest of law and
order.” This phrase was stricken out
after one speaker had asserted that
he would not vote for a resolution
which would brand every member of
the legislature who had voted for the
repealer as not being a supporter of
During the debate one clergyman
asserted he favored repeal of the
state dry law, because under present
conditions persons were compelled to
lie hypocrites as far as enforcement
as concerned.
“I go among my friends,” fit: naid.
“many of whom are at this very con
vention, and find wine upon then
tables. I like a glass of wine my
self. Many persons, including good
Episcopalians, are busy making then
own wine.”
After one speaker had deplored the
fact that the question of prohibition
had come before the convention at
all, and another had termed prohibi
tion a dismal failure. Bishop Man
ning asked permission to speak one
word.
“I would not feel quite content if
I sould sit,' in silence without ex
pressing my views." he said.
“I stand wher£ I did last year be
fore this convention. I said then and
I say now that I have never been a
prohibitionist, but have jdways stood
for upholding the law. It would be
most sad and serious if this great
state of New: York should stand be
fore the people of the land as in
c ined to -oppose tin* federal law. I
would be sadder still if this conven
tion. representing the greatest aio
oes of the. country, should take that
position. I hope that the governor,
for the credit of the will see
fit to veto this law.”
The resolution then was amended
and adopted.

Greensboro, X. C., May HO. —lieeom- j
mendations that all schools in the

The complete resolutions are as fol- !
lows:
"Be it resolved:

from commercialization, from physical
strain and from poor sportsmanship:
be it resolved that we recommend:

will engage a maximum number of in
dividuals. rather than individual ac
complishments and the winning *of
championships.

contests be preceded by an opportunity
for each boy and girl to have’ a full
season's program of all-round athletic
activities.

How Egyptians Mthle the Pyramids.
London, May 12.-—How did the
ancient Egyptians, without the'aid of
windlass, block, or tackle, succeed in
erecting their gigantic pyramids sind
obeisks? This problem, which . has
engaged the attention of antiquaries
and mechanics for ages, is now be
lieved to have been solved ~by Mr. It.
Engelbach, Chief Inspector of Anti
quities in Upper Egypt, whose ex
planation is very interesting.
In the ffiirst place/ a sloping em
bank ent {was erected, having on its
high end a funnel-shaped pit descend
ing to the previously prepared
pedestal on which the obelisk was to
rest. A gentle curve led down from
the surface of the embankment unti
it met the sloping walls of the fun-
ii el.
The funnel was filled with sand, and
the obelisk was roll'd up the em
bankment until its base was over
the opening. The base of the obelisk
was then allowed to sink into the
funnel and the sand was removed
from the foot of the funnel through
tunnels. All the time the sand was
being removed the obelisk naturally
sank lower into the cavity, uuu, at
last, rested on its pedestal.
IMr. Engel back had a mode! obeisk
made and, putting his theory to me
test, found that it worked successful
ly- In' the days of the ancient
Egyptians great armies of men were
engaged on this work As many as
ten thousand were sent at a time to
transport monument of less weight
than an obelisk. -
The city that does not regard its
young njen as its greatest asset, is
<ipt to find them its largest liability.
