THE INSANITY DODGE. The Winston I'nimi Hepulilican is fverlastin-jlv correct in its opinion about the thin veiled excuse for ac quittinir murderers on the insanity dode. I'.etwccn the soealled un-writ-ten law and the plea of insanity the gallows or a life term in the peniten tiary are too frequently cheated of their lawful and legitimate dues. Should one feel shocked and wonder at the frequency of homicides and murders when-human life is regarded so cheaply and hifrh handed offenders against the law so easily escape the i.enaltv of their acts? The I'nion !fjulii;ii says: The insanity plea in case of imir ;Ier, is to say the least a weak excuse to.dodjre tustiee. .Just a lew (Jays ao in an adjacent count there was a serious shooting affray by some well connected in-onle ami while the life of one "lamp: in the balance tho idea of msanitv. tenmorarv or permanent, it matters very littlt which, was already beine; intimated bv friends and counsel for t he defense. lii this instance the patient rallied and the insanitv dodire has been hushed. Had death occurred, the irallows or the iK-nitentiary would have undoubted v been cheated of their dues. Most murders are com mitted bv men in the lull possession of their senses unless you admit pas sion, jealousy, some urudp,e or re venue as a 'uise for insanitv. If men oossessinir these are crazv. then there is need to enlarge the asylums. The world is full of them and murder is only an extreme limit to which these unfortunates allow I he devil to drive them and for which thev should be held strict Iv to account. Tin: ( harlot te ()hscrvvr hinks that a good deal oi unnecessary boredom miirht be saved if the vice-presidential notifications were cut out altogether. To which we heartily agree. But when did it become customary for vice-presidential candidates to go through the non sensible and useless formalitv of beine; notified of their nominal ion? THE PLACE FOR HIM Booking the boat or rocking the train are two ent irely different things, but the fellow found iruiltv of doing either ouuht to be sent to do duty on the rock pile. ( Jivenville He- tloctor. The rock pile, ns tu llctloctorsay is the proper place for tho fellow who rocks the boat or throws rocks at a train, but some how we can t get swav from the idea that anv one who shoots at a train or shoots from a train and kills a person ought to be hung. Significance of Mr. Williams' Visit. i'harlot tc Chronicl-. - 1th. The presence in this citv this morn ing of Mr. B. Lancaster Williams, one of the receivers of the Seaboard Air lane, and his examination of the physical condition of the Buth- fordton division, naturally points to some connection of this branch of t he Seaboard with the Clinchfield road over the mountains. If a joint arrangement could be made between the Clinchtield a ml the Seaboard com panies to run through trains from Charlotte to Johnson City, or even from Wilmington to Johnson City, it would not more than meet the re quirements of the two sections, which would be thereby connected up with transportation' facilities. A trans mountain route with through trains from the South Atlantic manufactur ing districts to the coal fields West of the mountains, would tremendous ly facilitate the inauguration of the new business of bringing the Western coal to the Eastern manufacturers.

Moore's conduct of Charlotte's splendid new hotel, the Selwyn, is made the occasion of some plesant reference to Proprietor Moore and incidentally to Messrs. Hooper and Jordan of the Buford and Cen tral, who are doing their part also in sustaining Charlotte's reputation as a good hotel town one of the best advertisements any town can have. The Chronicle says: Of course, everybody knew that all Chorlotte's bi;r hotel venture the Selwvn needed, was a proper man to carry it on. The start-off was not entirely satisfactory, but one year ago, to-day, all disappointments van ished, for it was on that day tuattlie ri"ht man to run the hotel happened along. He was Mr. Edgar 15. Moore, who had gained some fame as pro prietor of a fine hotel near Ashevnle. With hiscomimr. the Jseiwyn sprang into nev hie. 1 he canned goous menu disappeared and the fresh and the tat of the land took its place. The Selwvn jumped into the class its promoters had intended it should take 111 the ranks 01 the Pest hotels of the country. Mr. Moore's manage ment has been singularly successful. It is up to Charlotte to congratulate him and the congratulations will be most agreeably extended. The Chron icle is writing now of a little bit of ex perience of the Sehvyn with the in tention, merely, of telling the public how it is coming along. In the hotel line, Hooper, of the IUiford, and Jordan, of tjie Central, are doing as much to sustain the hotel reputation of Charlotte as Moore is doing at the Selwyn. But the fact of the matter is that Moore has made a great suc cess of the Selwvn and no toast is too fine for him. NO FRIEND OF LOAFING NE GROES. Henry Hayes an industrious and thriitv negro man ot i,exington, is no friend of the loafinir neirro. He is a w- g man himself and he be- lievt ... others working. And it they will not work voluntarily, Hayes believes the law should be invoked to make them work. A Lexington dispatch to the Charlotte Chronicle says: Henry Haves a well-to-do colored man ot this place, approaeneu a party of idle negroes at the Southern sta tion and asked one to help him two hours unloading a car of coal, the negro said he cnun t wane to get dirty for such a small job. Hayes didn't do a thing but swear out war rants for the lot of them and three were arrested and fined 84.(50 for vngrancv." Haves, who has ac cnmuluted perhaps ". 000, is not a friend of the loafing negroes. DeWitts Little Larly Jtisers, safe, easy pleasant, sure, little liver pills. Sold at carter s 1 wo Urug Stores. Judge J. D. Murphy. News and Observer. The death of Judge Fred Moore re moved from theSuperior Court bench in North Carolina one of the best of the judiciary, a man who as an at torney and a iurist had taken high stand in North Carolina. To fill the vaeancj' Governor (llenn has appointed Hon. J. I). Murphy, of Asheville, and the appointment will be regarded as a wise one throughout the State. There was a demand from the candidates that the appointment be made at once and in the appointment of Hon J I). Murphy there has been an imme diate response from Governor Glenn I he new judge will bring to the oi- tice ability, character, high standing, and the training of a successful at torney. Mr. Murphy is .1 man of judicial temperament, he does not fly oil at tangents, and it is to be ex pected that his career 011 the bench will reflect honor upon himself and the State, lie is a man who has won the high esteem of all, and as a judge he will mete out equal and exact jus tice impartially. His legal training and experience at the bar means that he will make a iudge who will win the approval of the State in the per formance of his duties. Judge Murphy was in the Legisla ture at the session of 11)05 and he made a reputation among the best of the members, being ever alive to the interest of the State. In his new position he will emulate the past. An active worker for Democracy lie has done service as a member of the Hoard of Trustees of the State Nor mal and "Industrial College and as member of the Hoard of Directors of the State University. He is a mem ber of the Mountain Retreat Associa tion of the Hible Assembly of the Southern Presbyterian church at Montreat and has added in making the meetings successful. He is to be numbered among the active men of Morth Carolina. The appointment is a strong one, and it is not to be doubted that Judge Murphy will take a high posi tion on the liench. He was enthusi astically endorsed by many attor neys over the State, among these a majority of the Raleigh bar, and it is not to be doubted that his influ ence will go to the increased influence of the bench in North Carolina. He- ing a man of high character and of the best judicial training he brings to his position a trained mind and the abihtv to do the best work. His appointment will give general satis faction and the wisdom of it will be seen as he takes up his duties as one of the judges of North Carolina. Able, intelligent and alert the Gov ernor has rmde a strong selection and it is confidently expected that Judge Murphy will render satisfaction in all cases to le tried before him. He is a straight ami earnest Demo crat aud with him on the bench all people will fully understand that he will not be swayed by corporation influences, but that he will truly rep resent the people in all matters in which he has a voice. As a successor to Judge Moore he will be found ever active and see that the law is obeyed, and his friends confidently expect iie will be among the best judges in North Carolina, The little attacks of Ptomach trouble and etoiuaeh disorders will undoubtedly lead to chronic dyspepsia unless you take something for a suftieiint time to strengthen the stom ach and give it a chance to get well.

Chase City Calcium Water. j Chase Citv, Va., comes forward as a claimant for still greater fame on account of its health-giving mineral waters. Maj. Nathaniel A. Uregory has recently discovered what is des tined in all probability to become one of the most celebrated products of the Old Dominion. It is said that there are but two stronger waters in the State and in the treatment of various complaints its use is follow ed by the most beneficial results. For uric acid it is wonderfully effica- , 1. l: .1 cious ana nne in stomacu, Kinney and liver troubles. It is making some wonderful cures this season. A preliminary analysis of this water made by Froehling & Rob ertson, analytical chemists, shows it to contain per Lmted States gallon 2'M cubic inches. Total mineral matters -4G grains. Consisting chief ly of chlorides and nitrates of lime, magnesia and soda, ana smaller quantities of potash, together with comparatively small amount of bi carbonate 01 lime and magnesia, it contains a trace of lithia and traces of oxide of iron and silica. The water is full of gas the gases being one of its chief characteristics, but were not estimated in the above analysis. With reference to the character and value of the water Messrs. Froehling & Robertson say: "We are quite satisfied from the partial analysis that the water is a very valuable one. The combination of the chlo rides and nitrates constitute what is known as a "Nitro-muriated" water and the amounts present are such as to make t he water of great potency. "While it is not possible to speak with certainty, from the results of the partial examination, we feel reas onably sure that this water would prove of great value in the treat ment of all diseases of the kidneys, liver, and digestive organs, and that its effect in cases of a scrofulous character would be verv marked." To more rapidly introduce this water and get people who suffer from anv of the troubles for which it isrec- ommended to use it and give it practi cal test in their own cases, the Chase City Calcium Water Company will furnish sample free of charge to per sons who send carboy, demijohn or 'case bottles for that purpose.

We are pleased to note the growth and increasing prosperity ot our neighboring town, Oxford, as record ed in the Public Ledger. That paper has from week to week kept us posted as to the progress of its people and so when a brief summary was made in its last issue of some of the town's recent improvements it was no cause for surprise, u e quote the following: The growth of Oxford in the last two or three years has been phenomenal. It effloresced from a muddv unkept town to a small city with modern improve ments. Its new granolithic pavements, its sewerage system, its water works and its electric lights prove its advances. There is more room fur growth, and we have been reliably informed that there are not enough tenement houses in the city to supply the demands of the tenants. Mr. Lapitahst. here is your chance to make a good investment. People are finding out what a splendid place Uxford is to live m, and are find ing their willingness to come here by in quiring for houses. There is not a vacant tenement in the citv. All who come do not want to rent. Some want to buy. When there is such a demand the supply should he forthcoming. Oxford is fast .becoming a manufac turing nucleus and the factories we have here have already increased the popula Hon ty attracting people from other towns. These new inhabitants have to have houses to live in and we should never allow them to go away for the lack of accommodations. We hope some of our capitalists will look into this matter of building tene ment houses, because Oxford wants every newr citizen or enterprise it can get.

Saturday's paper carried the news that Judge Adams had brought suit for libel against ex-Senator Marion Butler and the Caucasian, for pub lications in rejrard to the Indian Ter ritory Citizenship Court, in which Judge Adams was boldly accused of receiving bribes. There will be two suits one against Butler and one against the Caucasian Company. The amount sued for from the ex Senator is 50,000. The amount in the second case is vet to le set. The bringing of these suits is no surprise, for the charges have been kept going in one shape or another in spite of denials and Judge Adams claims to have evidence that Mr. Butler is back of the whole business. The outcome will be awaited with interest. Summer complaints and other serious ail ments common in hot weather can be traced to the stomach nine times out of ten.
