O a Q THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1903; LiU VE1XSUS JUSTICE The Greensboro Record calls atten tion to a matter which deserves gen eral consideration, jit says: "Courts are sometimes criticised for suspending judgment in so many cases, but what's to be done? Yesterday the first case, tried byj Judge Allen and a jury In the Superior Court was against five young boys for disturbing a rellg ious meeting. They were convicted with ease, but the prosecuting wit nesses, the church people, begged that nothing be done with them and judg ment was suspended. The ends of Jus tice were no doubt subserved, yet there was perhaps criticism. The next case up was against an old man claiming to have been a soldier blown up in the crater around Petersburg. His claim was investigated and , thought to be correct. - His right arm was palsied and he was in a deplorable condition, but he was convicted of stealing a cow. That palsied arm paralyzed the Judge and he did not know what to do until the old fellow said he could prove an alibi by three witnesses. Then he was told to produce them before the end of the term, and the case was left open. But suppose i he does not make his claim of an alibi good, what can be done with him? He is too old and dis abled to wrk, though he manages to scurry around' and keep put of the alms-house, even if he does have to steal a cow." j We copy the above for the purpose of pointing a moral. 1 The Record says "Courts are some .times criticised," which we shall not deny, but in 99 cases In 100 the criti uisms are tne mppant outbursts of ignorance or prejudice father than reasonable or just. The Court is com missioned to see that Lawj3 observed as well as enforced,! and so far as their power or discretion may go, to see that Justice is done. Law' is the essence of reason as Well as the expression of society embodied in statute form and provided with the necessary machinery for its maintenance and execution. Each case of infraction of thV law is necessarily surrounded by circumstan ces peculiar to itself-no two cases are or can be on ' all-fours because of the difference in attending circumstances and conditions,and hence a rule or stat uteabsolutely good and necessary pf itself which would le applicable in one .case would be harsh if not posi tively unjust, unmerciful at least, in the. other. Of all these determining circumstances and conditions the Judge must be the arbiter, .and when he is known to be honest, though he may. err, it is little less than a crime to criticize or -condemn him for his Judg ment or his suspension of judgment. Law is often fully establishment of its vindicated by the presence and 'pow- cr. without resort to a evere, punish ment of the violators, as was no doubt the case as to the j young men whom 4jn apc3 fflgn COWNCU. Judge. Allen ; permitted to .depart with the censure of the court. When a Judge gives evidence -of vic ious partizanshlp or vulgar dema gogy, or corruption in the trial or hearing of a' cause and great care should always be exercised before this is assumed he should be con demned; but when such cause for con. demnation is lacking it is wrong to indulge in it when he follows the dic tates of mercy in the exercise of a dis cretion which the law. wisely gives him after a personal and complete exami nation into a case and all the circum stances surrounding. .- udge Allen did right in the case of those j'oupg men, . as presented by the parties most concerned, and, will not go far wrong in the execution of the highest and greatest law if he discharge the old soldier. The Just Judge Is of .far more im portance to the proper administration of Law than the stickler for "forms," who never fails to call the attention of the galleries to his performance and too often heartlessness. TfllBTY-NINE LASHBS FOR 11 K POCRBTS The Post a few days ago was fur nished by its Chapel Hill correspondent with a remark by the able Dean of the University Law School to the effect that the old whipping-post method was the very best for that class of gentry who follow crowds and steal all the trash that their light Angers can reach in the pockets of victimsotherwise called pocket books. Of course Judge McRae contemplated that such pun ishment should be inflicted in accord ance with law made and provided, though we believe in our very hearts' that had the Marshall taken the rogues out upon the grounds immediately af ter their arrest and given them 40 save one with a horsewhip no Jury in this State would have said a word. But upon this subject and Judge Mc Rae's suggestion, a distinguished citi zen a lawyer who won distinction at the Bar and on the Bench, writes the editor of the Post that the legislature has the power to prescribe the lash for such offenders. We thought it required an amendment to the Constitution to permit such punishment. "We quote this part of the letter for the good it may, or should, do, by way of calling pub lic attention to the importance of such legislation "It has come to be a great evil, haX our gooa people can not meet ugeiner.and you jbe protty gyre 0f some in their state and county; fairs with-good money in the I fall to meet ox out being troubled by these gangs olpense3t pay tat?:eS) etc Wc Verv often thieves dressed like respectable peopl coming to each other's help when by chance they are caught in the act by some brave, strong man and seized by him. "If after one of them has been tried, convicted and sentenced to the roads, and the authorities would keep him there to serve his term,-they must take such extra precautions that It will cost more to punish him than he is worth. "How simple the remedy: Upon con viction to be whipped and released on payment of costs. There is no need of a Constitutional Amendment. An act of assembly would be sufficient. There? is not even in this case the opportunity to, invoke the everlasting race preju dice against it, for he is, nine times out of ten, a white man, and a stran ger. "A long time ago, two handsome, well dressed young white men were arrested on a train near Wilmington, in the act of picking a pocket. They were tried at the next term of the court, convicted and, without unneces sary delay, whipped and discharged. They went away very indignant at this instance of Southern barbarism, and never returned; neither was the offens ever repeated on that road. Great abuses call for. drastic remedies." COTTON It may be expected that during this current week, perhaps longer, the rush of cotton to market, will be enormous, far in advance of previous years, first because of the satisfactory pr&e which was reached Monday, and, 'because the crop is more nearly ready for market ing than usual so early in the season. This heavy delivery may cause the prica to fluctuate, with a downward tendency, for some days." This is the result of the natural law of trade which no human agency can control. 'No one will buy more than is actually SCOTT'S EMULSION is for babies and children who are thin and pale when they ought to be fat and ruddy; for men and women who are Weak and delicate when thpv nncrfif tr Ue efrv wncn iney ougnt to be strong and hearty- for all who are i. i . , nut getting proper nourish ment from their food.

SCOTT & L'OVVNE, 403 Tcarl Street, Nw Ycrfc j necessary at be had that ticle' wanted 10 cents when a hope "can at an early date the 'ar- can be had for less ; and when the supply is apparently beyond the immediate demand a fall in price is inevitable. Every person, therefore, whose condition compels him to sell at this time or during the next' thirty days will have this! "rush" to contend with, and will be liicky if he can get full 10 centsi We an only hope that every one who may be called upon to sell now may also be .able to hold a part of the crop, until the 10-cent minl- mum 13 established, which we feel con- fident will be the case oeiore me mi of December. The consuming world has come to realize that it must de pend upon a shori crop as short if not" shorter than last year, and the fourth short crop in succession. We can give nothjng better, or really more encouraging oft this subject than the folio win d from the Wilson News. It states the situation now wun fidelity, and sustains the contention of the Post throusrhout. specially when this paper was alnjost alone in coun seling patience rather than encourag ing farmers to Icajve their crops to ruin in the field. The farmers have begun to appreciate! the fact that their crop of this year is inferior to that of last year in quality besides having to butt up against an enormous sup- ply of last year's good quality still on hand, and also that the yellow journal that waltzed to the front "was simply trying to palm off a very brassy "gold brick" upon them. The Post will again repeat, good tobacco will sell at a. fair price this winter better after Christ mas possibly than now but sorry to bacco will sell for a low price and for it . all it is worth throughout the season But here is what the Wilson News says: ' II , till iAAXVXAV V 1VA& W II1UV is low very lpw, but we dislike to be pinned down -that the tobacco is not ap. good as i might , be. One fact makes it more striking. It was so, high In price last fall. Wo hear of many who have sworn of against planting any next year. Now tobacco is going to be used just as long as time lasts, and to do so it has got to be first planted, cultivated, J cured, manufac tured and then consumed. '';)' "The best plan we see-is to diversify your crop; first let It be hog and hominy;' with that comes independ ence. Then som tboacco and cotton. hear this renin rk, I got nothing for my tobacco kvlr?n in fact hFThad nothing to rrrf something for. But such is life. If all brought the came prices there would c no incentive ex- cept to plant corn. "Well, thirty-five, thirty and twenty- five dollars were some of the figures paid yesterday at one of our ware houses which goes to show that there is life in the Old land yet." - filLF.CTlON'S NliXT TUESDAY There will be elections held in eleven States next Tuesday, full state tickets to be voted foj In Maryland, Rhode Is land, Massachusetts, Kentucky, Ohio i and Iowa, while elections for minor State officers and important city elec tions will be held in others. The contests attracting the greatest general interest are those in Maryland, Ohio and the city of kew York; though surprises may be furnished by the re sult in Iowa, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Kentucky will go Democratic b3- a will go Republl- large majority. Ohio: can on a smaller .total vote than the last and may be a smaller majority. In that State desperate jeffort3 have been made to capture the legislature and thus secure .1 jDemocratic successor to Senator Mark iHanna. Stranger things have happened in Ohio, and there is no dcubt but that the, Democratic can didate, Mr. Clark, a sound Democrat, has good man and a given Mr. Hanaa the fright if nxt fight of his life. Greater New York having been re formed sufficiently to! justify itr -Tarn-many Democrats willj resume business at the old stand under the leadership of Mr. McClelland. The voting will bt hot shot from early morn to diwey eve, dui kittle Mac the Second and-Demo crat will win out FOREIGN LAUOICtiK Copying what the Post said prefer ence to the Portugese recently brought to New Bern Vto work on the farms, ' the Wilmington Messenger adds ' - "Were thc one hundred Or more people. who haTe c.omet( New Bern for emPIoyent fuii-biood Portugese we jvrould agree wlth The Post. But are they not a race with al mixture of Por tugese and African blood? We have been told that,! in fact.j the negro blood By those who saw them predominates. when landed at New feern from their stranded ship they were designated as "Portuguese negroes." They came 'from the Azores, islands which have be longid to Portugal for several - cen- j turies, and, while these islands were settled by Portuguese' and Flemings, both a thrifty; race of people, several juunmuu years a&o, inere-nas Deep a jjarreat mixture! of races, as is to- be nmiH 1 - i m - - iounu in an tne islands! of the Atlantic. . "Nov.- if these people aie ot this class ar thev desirable as settlers and col onists1 'in' .our 8 section of the country?

While we of the South axe doing all we can to keep separate and distinct the twolraces.we have here it does not seem the proper thing to inaugurate a plan of immigration of this mixed class of foreigners." . " ." I CONVICTED OF !t'ROEIt At ! slauntoxv, Virginia, one John Kennedy Tvas convicted of murder in the first "degree for causing a wreck on the Norfolk and Western Railroad, - - 5- 1 - near Greenville, of said counts', in December last whereln the engineer was i killed. The special dispatch from Staunton to the 1 Richmond , Times-Dispatch states: ft'The jury afterj being out five min utes brought in a verdict of guilty of murder In the first degree, y "Kennedy pleaded guilty to the charge, j He. is about nineteen years old, from Shenandoah county, and a very! intelligent man. "He - took his sentence very coolly. His I accomplice, Jim Bailey, will be tried tomorrow and the trial of Ellen Bailey, the aged mother of Jim Bailey, who! Kennedy claims planned the wreck, will be tried next." It ! is Impossible to tell how many ot tne many wrecKings wnicn nave oc curred on all railroads within the re cent pas : are attributable to the work of such wretches las have been over- j . . . . . ! . . . taken in the above case.

The President writes most encourag ingly to the Mississippi Levee Conven tion in session at New Orleans, coup ling this great enterprise with the irrigation of the arid lands of the i .- i i " West. Unquestionably these are meritorious objects' demanding national attention? and assistance; but with them there are two others which are of pressing importance and should also i receive the same national con sideration. These are the Appalachian Forest Reserve, by which the water sources affecting at . least seven of the States can be I protected, and ihe Inland Ship ' Canal -which. vitally concerns the shipping-i iterests jof the entire Atlantic . coast. . i , I . ... These bei four gTeat national works each of such character as to be bevond ' i . the power or the ability of a single r l. i -l . oc. uxxu u,n scope as lo mem national assistance.! I Land office frauds of startling mag nitude are rumored,! says the Indianap olis Newls. After the manner of the post j office frauds, there are benefi ciaries; in the present case It is said that at least two senators are party to the crime, their work being th ap- I ' t ! pointment of thieves and land regis ters and J receivers, shielding them In their rascalities and profiting by them. I And yei it 13 gravely announced that i "i the President and ithe Cabinet hope i t . ! to "avert" a Congressional investiga i - i i tion of such charges. j The light should be turned on, and the rascdls turned j out. The people will be satisfied with nothing less.
