WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 2, 1P03.
Our Judges In opening the fall terms
of court emphasize the appalllnfr dejrree
to which the crime of murder or homi
cide has developed In this State within
the passing year. In his charge to the
grand Jury at Fayettevllle, as reported
by the Observer, Judge Bryan remark
ed "that he had it on the best authority
that In North, and South Carolina for
the past few years, there were more
murders in proportion to population,
than elsewhere in the United States,
and that if the same average were
maintained all over the United States,
the number of murders for the past
year in this country, would have been
1S.CC0. more people than were killed In j
the Philippines and Cuba during the
'
late war.
Ia r
f
JulTe Brown, in his charge to the
Durham grand Jury, stated "there were
rS3 homicides In thl3 State last year."
The bare statement of the case ought
to arouse every cood citizen to thought
and action. And a one means of pre
vention It may b? considered whether
the le?es crimes meK with such prompt
and proper punishment as would have
& detcrcnt efTect ns to the graver ones.
If the circumstance? of all these homi
cides could be fully analyzed .It might
pointy to some conclusion by which
causes which lead up to the greater
crimes could be discovered and removed.
When one thinks of the character of
our porle as a whDle, of their
general conservatism, morality and ;a
ecb rr.es It is difficult to conceive of
fuch an appalling number of th
groer crimes as have t hocked all dur
Inc the past twelve months, even with
in the past one month. Not only ate
Juries and ofUcers of the law called
upon to discharge their duties, but
every good cltlren has a duty in the
matter. Ther? sheuld be a discovery
of the cause or cause, just as Is done
In cases of diseases or epidemics. An
our.e of rrcrentlon may be worth a
barrel full of homilies on good behavior
cr even i. multiplicity of hangings and
road sentences.

It will be remembered that the Post
predlcted that the month of August
would be noted for crimes, suicides, ac-

made what a chapter of horrors it
would be. And yet we are living in the

of most of them, of the civilization and

EX-SHERIFF SWAMPED
B. F. Scott ot Wayne Surren
ders All to His Creditors
Goldsboro. N. C. Sept. 1. Special.
The rumor In the streets of Goldsboro
today that ex-Sheriff B. F. Scott had
made an assignment came as a big
surprise to everybody except a few of
his bondsmen, who had lately become
acquainted with the awkward financial
condition in. which the sheriff had
drifted while in office. He made an
assignment to Mr. John W. Aycock of
Fremont, one of his bondsmen, who is,
named as trustee. The indebtedness
will amount to something like $15,000,
of which he owes the state f or back
taxes about $9,000. . The only other
debtor of consequence .is Mr. T. E.
Yelverton of Fremont, who holds a
mortgage on real estate for $3,600. He
then names in the deed of assignment
other creditors as follows: Yelverton
Bros of Fremond, $517; Smith & Yelver
ton of Goldsboro, $92.50; J. P. Smith &
Son of Pikeyille, $325; W. It. & J. T.
Hooks of Fremont, ,$200; Geo. D. Best
of Fremont, $100; Masonic Lodge of
Pikeville, $290.
To secure the payment of these
amounts the ex-sheriq has deeded all
his real estate, which includes some of
the finest farming lands in the county,
together With the growing crops there
on and the live stock and all farm im
plements connected therewith, his
house and lot in Pikeville, where he
now lives, and all the money on hand
and his interest in "the Fremont oil
mill. The deed of assignment is made
without j preference or reservation.
While he thinks that the assets will
prove ample to pay every-cent that he
Qwes, it is feared that such will , not
be the case..
When Sheriff Scott went out of of
fice last December everybody thought
that his affairs were in, good shape,, and
not until today did the public dream
that he was in such a sad plight. If
he should have enough to pay his
debts he would have absolutely noth
ing left, as he has deeded over every
thing that he has to his bondsman,
who are some of the best citizens as
well as the wealthiest men in the
county. Sheriff Scott was very popular
with all classes of people, and be it
said to his credit that he made one
of the best sheriffs the-county has ever
had. He held the office for eight years
and was defeated in the nominating
convention last September by the pres
ent incumbent, E. A. Stevens. After
his defeat Sheriff Scott moved back to
his old home at Pikeville, where he
has erected a new residence, which is
included in the deed of assignment. The
splendid plantation which his wife in
herited, and which is among his most
valuable possessions, is also included.

came from, all the walks of life and
he was worthy of them. No one was
too humble for his friendship and when
the sad news of his drowning reach
ed his home, never before was gen
uine grief shown more plainly as when
tender hands placed all that was mor
tal of that poor boy in a wilderness
of flowers. His death was a calamity.
Cut down, just in the flush of young
manhood when every promise of a life
of future usefulness was being realiz
ed. How sad to his parents after all
these years of anxiety, of toil and
pains, to see the pride of their heart
and home pass out into the "Great
unknown" without a moment's warn
ing. ' "
In appearance he showed the refined
and , cultured man that he was. He
had a" splendid mind and back of that
he had ambition that called for suc
cess. In all his relationship with his
fellow man he never "harmed a single
individual, intentionally. His character
was rugged, and unbending. He was
honest in every thing, every where
and every time. His death will ever
be a mystery and as sad as the mys
tery of death can make it. In his
life just ended we find many things to
admire. He was not all virtue, for
human nature remains frail, but take
him for the' best in life, a friend true
and tried, we "shall not look upon his
like again." .
