LErS KEEP IT STRAIGHT '
The Stanly Enterprise of this week
contains the f ollowingr In an editorial
on ths Nail case:
The four attendants who were placed
In the Wake county Jail for alleged
maltreatment and murder of Thomas
Nail, a patient in the central hospital
for- the insane, have been released. The
coroner's jury which investigated facts
surrounding the death of Nail say that
the clot of blood on the brain was
caused by congestion and not from a
blow.
How Editor Blvlns happened to make
such a mistake is not clear, for the
verdict 6f the coroner's Jury, who made
a long and patient Investigation, was
not susceptible of any misconstruc
tion. It is short and positive. Here
It is:
"The Jury say for their verdict
that Thomas H. Nail "came to his
death as the result of blows in
flicted by J. C. King. I. R. High,
Jack Peele and W. F. Durham."
The Enterprise probably has refer
ence to the investigation subsequently
made by the board of directors, a sort
of ex-parte proceeding, as the law
yers would say. In which mainly ex
pert testimony was considered and
whose report is now waiting for Gov
ernor Glenn's return before it is given
to the public. Acting on the assump
tion that the experts, who did not see
the remains ef Nail, know more about
the case than the doctor who per
formed the autopsy and the coroner
who conducted the Inquest also a doc
torand the Jury of Intelligent gentle
men who eat on the case, heard the
evidence and viewed the remains, the
solicitor of this district admitted, the
four attendants to bail in the sum of
one thousand dollars each, and that
without waiting for, the report of the
board of directors.
There is a decided' difference in the
coroner's inquest and the invesliga
tion by the board of directors. This
difference takes the form of a con
test, the testimony of experts in the
latter having a tendency to disprove
the evidence and findings of the for
mer. In that shape the whole matter
goes up to the superior t court next
week. One point of difference as to
Nail's condition ,coms out in the tes
timony of Dr. MeKSe before the coro
ner, and that of Dr. 'Ferebee before the
board. Dr. McKee said Nail was in
good physical condition. Dr. Ferebee
said Nail's physical condition showed
serious heart trouble when he exam
ihed him June 22, just two months be
fore his death.
And Dr. Ferebee thinks he talked
to Dr. McKee of Nail's condition. The
attendants having the patient in
charge ought also to have been inform
ed that he had a weak or disordered
heart. If they were so . informed the
more inexcusable was their conduct
towards him and the sterner the con
demnation it deserves.
The action of Solicitor Jones was a
surprise. The question arises what is
the use of a coroner's inquest if the
findings thereof can be set aside on
the strength of expert hypotheses in
ex-parte proceedings? Strictly speak
ing the shearing before the directors
may not have been ex-parte, but It
was certainly extra-judicial and alto
gether Informal.
A man who pays a fee of $25,000 to
the parm who performs ills marriage
ceremony certainly deserves to escape
the expense of -divorce proceedings
later in life.

IViULLINS AGAIN CHIEF '
The Raleigh board of aldermen act
ed wisely in again electing Chief of
Police J. H. Mullins to succeed him
self. Chief Mullins has held the office
for six years and has ever made a
courteous, reliable and efficient officer.
He has been critized by some people
because he has been unable to bring
about reforms in the moral life of the
city which all the churclies and other
reform organizations have been; unable
to produce; and there was an attempt
to defeat him for that reason. It 'is
expecting too much of one mortal
man, and Chief Mullins' course has
been vindicated by an almost unani
mous vote of the board of aldermen.
We congratulate him, and we con
gratulate the aldermen on their re
fusal to be stampeded in this instance
from what they conceived to be the
right course.

COTTON GOING HIGHER
The editor of The Post received the
following telegram yesterday after
noon from Ashley Home & Son of
Clayton:
"Warn the farmers that when the
conditions of the crop are fully known
cotton will sell much higher."
This advice seems to be welUfound
ed. Mr. Home is one - of the most
sagacious and far-seeing business men
in the state, a close observer, one
whose' opinions are formed after care
ful and deliberate investigation. What
he says is worthy of note. We believe
there will be a steady upward ten
dency In the. cotton market. It may
not change materially within the next
thirty days, and there may be a slight
decline before the middle of October,
but prices are going higher and our
advice would be to market slowly.
