to deposit with the Superior court of
New Hanover county the sun of $1,
(MO. which is to be used in trust to
send Gilbert Spindle, IS-year-old son
of the former, to school for three
years. This action was taken after
the recorder had found the defendant
guilty of cruelly beating the child.
Court officers and spectator* de
clared that the child was the wont
whipped erer seen in the New Hanover
county court house. Spindle did not
deny having whipped the boy but said
that he had no idea he was inflicting
such punishment.
Scarred and bruised and can (tug
trashes as much as throe inches Ion*
on his back and at least h*if a dozen
of them the boy was looked upon with
sympathy by many people while the
case was being tried and there mat*
those who wondered that he had not
bean permanently injured. He was t
sent to the James Walker Memorial
hoapital for treatment and when he is

application is balsed on the alleged

as able lawyers ssv there is nothing

Kerr will probably bare no hesitation
in dismiaaing it.
The Republicans can appeal from
his decision and if they oo a decision

cured before the time for electioiw
The law is really an admirable one and
secures to many qualified voters the
exerrise of their right, which other
wise their unavoidable abaence from
the home precinct would debar them
from voting. The Republicans eri
dently think more Democrats are pro
tected in this way than Republicans.
Hence the desire to have the law put
out of commission.
In reslity and all reason this bone

cans may be regarded as more a cry mt
