Morris Manuel In Wentworth Jail Charged With KUUng Girl With Stick. Winston-Salem, Oct. 24. Miss Bv sie Gibson, aged 19, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andie Gibson, wh live near Madison, Rockingham county, is dead and Morris Manuel, aged 17, of the same community, is in jail at Went worth charged with striking the blow that resulted m the fleam oi w young woman. Miss Gibson died last night at 6:30 o'clock and one-half miles southwest of the town of Madi son. . , Manuel was arrested Friday night soon after the young woman was ren dered unconscious by a blow alleged v,a been struck by him. He was carried to Wentworth immediately by Deputy Sheriff Ziglar of Mayodan. A report from Madison concerning the affair says that on Friday evening a school truck had unloaded a num ber of children at the forks of the roads near the Manuel and Gibson homes, and that several small children of these two families engaged in a quarrel which led up to a children's ht. It seems that the Manuel chil dren were getting the upper hand of the affair when the Gibson children called for their father. However, the father did not respond, but two elder sisters, Essie and Annie, heard the small children calling and went to see what was causing the trouble. Morris Manuel, who was working in a field near the forks- of the road, heard cries of the children and also went to the scene of the fight. The report is that he picked up a stick about two feet in length and struck Miss Essie Gibson over the head, near the base of the brain, ren- . . - It ie also dering ner uikoiuhumi- stated that he then struck at Miss I Annie Gibson, who received the blow on her arm, after which he threw the stick at her with force enough to drive it in the ground. The funeral of Miss Gibson was held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The service was conducted by Rev. A. L. McClenden, of this city. The young woman was very popular in the community where she lived. She is survived by her parents, three brothers and two sisters.

INDIAN POPULATION IN NORTH CAROLINA The Indian population in North Car olina is woefully small as compared with a few score years ago, when the Indians stalked through the virgin forests, monarch of all he surveyed. The large majority of our Indian pop ulation is confined to one county, that nf Robeson, where a few less than 9,- 000 Red men of the Croatan tribe are engaged in gainful occupation, prin cipally farming. Less than 3,000 will be found in all other counties of the State, Swain and Jackson being the only counties with any appreciable number. The belief has been prevalent for years that a great number of our dus-l ky friends "bite the dust" every year iUynliaii That this is not LIUI11 tUMVMv". true as regards North Carolina is evi dent from the report recently issued by the Bureau of Vital Statistics. With a population of 11,824 Indians, ' only 12 died during 1920 from tuber culosis. This gives a death rate of 101.4 per hundred thousand, which is practically the same as the death rate among the white population only two years ago. In Robeson county there were 100 deaths from all causes among the In dians. Six of the number died from tuberculosis. There are many coun ties in North Carolina with an equal number of deaths where we find the percetage of deaths from tuberculosis among the white population larger. News and Observer. I "Ours would be a blessed htate u its civilization had reached the point that we could dispense with capital ...:v-,t declared Governor Mor- rison yesterday stating his belief that the supreme penalty is still needed in North Carolina to meet the demands of law in extreme crimes. When telegrams, petitions and letters were pouring in upon governor Mnrrison last week, asking for com mutation or a stay of the sentence ot death pronounced unon J. T. Hams, numbers expressed their oppos uun i capital punishment. Some called on the Governor in the interest of tha Eidgecrest merchant executed Thurs day, made their appeal for the con demned man on the basis of their op position to capital punishment. This week, with other letters coming in commending the Governor for the course that he took, some of the writers are taKing ocvu w -their approval of capital punishment, making t plain, however, that they did not expect the Governor to take this into conideration in the admvnis- . . il ,i,,tio nf his office, trauun oi l May Be Legislative Issue, With the special session of the Gen eral Assembly just around the corner, 0i,Wn!hlfi sentiment has already developed for the abolition of capital punishment in this State. Tennessee, one State that abolished capital puni shment, has returned to the supreme penalty. It is practically certain that capital punishment will be an issue either in the special session ov in re gular legislative period in 1923, Governor Morrison commenting to newspaper men on the letters of com mendaton received since the execution of Harris, when he was asked to state his views of capital punishment. The courts, he said, give every man the benefit of the doubt. In the right , , ti tk Sunrpmf' to cnaiienjfe, ajiycai " r court, and appeal to the Governor, a man convicted of crime, he said, has adequate safeguards thrown about him. Society Must Be Protected. "But society must have its protec tion just as an individual must have the right to repel assault," he declar ed. "There are some crmes and crirn i that nnthinu hut the fear of th death penalty will deter. It would be a glorious thing if our people had reached the stage where we could abolish punishment, but I don't believe we have reached it yet." The execution of Harris brought the question of capital punishment acutely to public attention. The doubt that some expressed of the fair trial of the man intensfied the feeling, even among sorm who believe that Harris was guilty, that a life sentence of t he State prison might have protected s i ciety as well, while saving it from the spectacle of legalized killing. wnatever oe uibh vicwo : ,t u I i. .Ji ...
