THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE THE PEOPLE NORTH CAROLINA FORGOT. Winston-Salem Journal. True bills of indictment have been returned against the superintendent of the Stanly county convict camp charging h ; m with the murder of two negro convicts. • A third indictment charges him with assault upon an-! other negro with a deadly weapon. 1 The defendant is entitled by law to a ; fair and impartial trial and. granting ■ this, trial of him cannot bemade before the case is heard in court. He offered testimony tend : ug to show that lie is not guilty of murder or of wilful and malicious killing. Both phases of the evidence submitted were recognized by Judge MeKlroy, who declined to decide their merits, reserving decis ion for tlie regular procedure of court. “The court has heard it talked, whether it is true or not I don’t know, since I have been here this week, that parties have said in the streets that no grand jury in Stanly county would return a bill of indict ment against the defendant, aud if he were convicted that others would pay his penalty for him,” said Judge Me- Elro.v in speaking to the grand jury. The grand jury did subsequently re turn a true bill. A fair trial and adequate punishment, : f the defend ant is found guilty, are further chap ters iu the gruesome story. Stanly county cannot afford to make a farce of the trial or of whatever judgment may result from it. There is a phrase somewhere about "the people whom God fotgot.” There are people in North Carolina whom the State seems to have forgotten. Among these are the convicts. M. W. Nash, who was solicitor in the Thir teenth Judicial District a few years ago. -ays that while lip was yet in of fice, he made attempts to call adequate attention to conditions in the convict camps iu Stanly counnty. While a member of the Senate of the Gen eral Assembly in 1921, he says, he introduced bills for the reform of the convict system but found that senti ment along that line was difficult to arouse. Does it require conditions such as reports indicate existed in • Stanly county to arouse the people of » North Carolina to the evils of the 1 convict plan? Apparently it does. News comes from Stanly that it is , likely the county commissioners will , abolish convict camps altogether. The abolition of the system on a statewide bnsis is a logical outlet 5 from a very embarrassing situation, j North Carolinn gets entirely too much advertisement from her convict camps, publicity that is damaging and ' in a measure unfair. For the best ■ thought in the State is shocked when ! it hears of conditions' such as the ■ Stanly disclosures reveal. Convict camps are not consonant, with the progressive achievements tfhd trend of | the State. North Carolina cannot as-1 , ford to be cruel. The ends of justice' > can be met without resort to cruelty.' : North Carolina must look after the I people she hAs forgotten. Dr. Ashby * Jones once told a Winston-Salem au- j I dience that no city is-better than the condition of its least fortunate inhabi i tant. The wisdom of his declaration is of more than city scope. It takes in the entire State. BI'RIED TREASURE. Winston-Salem Journal. The most priceless treasures of an tiquity ever discovered have been found in the i-offin of Tut-ankh-amen. ! which lias just been opened. Search ' ers in the tomb discovered inside the j outer stone casket three coffins of sol id gold, one within the other, the out er being declared to be the largest single piece of gold work known to arehaeologists aud the second the fin est known example of Egyptian art. Inside the coffin with the king's body, sewed in his regalia and packed around the body, were found an arm ful of gold trinkets and jewel chests. According to on-tom the king wore U s crown, a coronet, which is declar ed to be the finest masterpiece of the jeweler’s art in the world. Two gold liilted swords and two gold handler) daggers were strapped to the youthful king's body aud when the linen gar ments which the king were removed the body was found to be sheatehed in K- Id leaf, the feet covered with golden sandals, with a golden stall on every finger and toe, besides numerous finger rings. More valuable than the gold trap ping of the king, however, from the standpoint of history, was the royal Book of the Dead, which is expected t<> throw remarkable light in Biblical chronology. The document <* the longest manuscript covering the events of this age down and will en gage the attention of translators for many years to come. While the na ture of the contents are yet unknown it is believed that the narrative re counts the period of Egyptian history covering the Israelitish captivity and i heir subsequent release, of the period paralleling the Biblical Exodus. Whatever the outcome the world owes a debt of gratitude to Lord Car navon. who.-e death precluded any ap praisal of the treasures in the town which he discovered. Quite to our liking, an American bad a hand in the discovery, for Carnavon'g unfin ished work was completed by Howard Carter, his American assistant. For tunately, for history, the tomb of Tut ankh-Amen. situated in the Valley of the Kings, was one of the few not ran sacked by robbers. Boosting Asheville tor Methodist Meet Washington.

HOLMES FINDS NO PERIL IN CATHOLICISM I It Is America That Threatens It, as Well a« Protestant I'nits. New York World. Roman Catholicism is more afraid of America than America, with all its fanaticism, is afraid of Catholicism, the Rev. Dr. John Hayes Holmes yes terday told r capacity congregation in the Community Church. He also charged that the Catholic Church is a secret foe of prohibition and is active in breaking down en forcement of the Volstead Law. Such opposition, he declared, is one of the most serious difficulties Prohibition has to face. Call* Tammany Disreputable. His answer to his own question was, "No, the real situation is that Ameri-1 ea is a menace to Catholicism," but before he gave it he presented a care-1 ful analysis of the opposition to Catholicism in this country, in the course of which he denounced Tam-! many Hall as a "disreputable organ ization," called New York City, a field ! of combat between the Catholic and i the Jew, hinted at an “ee.-y capture of] the Democratic party by Governor Smith, declared that the political his tory of Boston is a "scandal and dis grace to the city and to the Catholic Church.” and severely criticised Car-! dinal O’Connell. The Catholic is one of the three] | great martyrs of American history, the ] ‘ Ind’an and the Negro being the other two. Dr. Holmes said. He recalled the days of his own boyhood when be said many Protestants thought every priest was a libertine, ever nun of doubtful virtue, every convent a bouse of dubiou-- reputation. He referred to the A. P. A., as a “pestilential ag itation." i Survival of Medieval Timm. ] Dr. Holmes gave four reasons for tlie general impression that Catholi cism !* a menace to free democracy I emphasizing that he had no sympathy with any but one. Opposition is par tially rooted in history, is a survival of reflection of bloody combat between Catholic and Protestant in the Refor-I ■nation, he said. Secondly, there is the feeling of older settlera against' alien newcomers. “I resent the impudence of Protest-1 ants who would pretend to hold the country as their own.” declared Dr. Holmes. “The t’nited States is no more a Protestant country than it it a Jewish country. •If the Catholics can dominate it, they have a right to do so." ] The third factor is political and eco nomic, and on that score Dr. Holmes confessed he felt some sympathy for those who oppose Catholicism. Tak ing Boaton, for an ezample, be said it was no longer an Anglo-Saxon town but one of the great Catholic cities of the world, and that its political his tory was a disgrace to the church and city. "The Catholic Church hasn’t had the guts, if you’ll pardon the word,’’ cried Dr. Holmes, “to clean up the Augean stable of corruption that has existed so long in the political lift of Boston.” j * I Band Leader Reverts to Type 111 ] f QA' ■- >\> <|sairWblteinan7 famous jazz band leader dipped back' mto the years while {visiting Den Moinea, la.

Baltimore and Philadelphia if it weren’t for the Jews, he said. The’ city is a field of combat . for the two elements. “A1 Smith.” the speaker continued, j “is the outstanding representative of those urban forces of Democracy large- I ly backed by the Catholic Church j which arc overflowing into the life of ! I the Nation, and his amazing popularity forecasts nu easy capture of the Dem- I ocratlc party. | “Most serious in the minds of many j is the feeling that the Catholic 1 Church never has and never will aban don the idea of temporal power, the combination church and State and I church supreme. -\ “Millions today believe that Catho lies aspire to restore the Pope to im perial power. To me the idea is sim- I ply ridiculous. It makes me laugh to hear of ‘divided allegiance.’ The man who cherishes that notion writes himself down as a moron. The Pope could call and call in vain. The na tion could call and be heard.” Dr. Holmes criticised the Catholic ! Church as being responsible for ig norance and superstition. guilty of financial exploitation and of using des potic and tyrannical power, but im mediately gave example of similar faults on the part of Protestant churches and said his quarrel was not so much with Roman Catholicism as with “organised Christianity." The religion of Jesus, be asserted, W tied hand and foot by ecclesiastical organ ization. Attacks Cardinal O’Connell.

Ami it is possible that | God might be very slow in granting it." I Young people today are drifting | from Catholicism. Dr. Holmes con cluded. It was a desperate day for that church when the gates of immigra tion were closed, he said. “Catholicism is dying,” he finished. 1 “So .is Protestantsm, thank God.
