JURY IN

at nard Labor in
State Prison. Clos
ing Midnight Seen
J an Impressive One.
Wfind the defendants Leon and
Burrill Casey guilty of murder In the
second degree, with recommendation
; for mercy. .'
, Such was the finding of the jury at 11
o'clock Friday night, in the now famous
- Casey trial for murder.
It was aft impressive, acene' in the
cwrt room, when ,,'the verdict was de
clared. Perhaps 200' persons, men and
;- boys werojiresent rawn by an impel
ling fascination,, that is not explainable.
Not electrocution,1 but imprisonment,
this is terrible enough," yet the defen
dants gave no vioible signs 4hat they
. felt the sentence. ' Tha crowd leaned
forward to note' every' expression' -and
; to hear every wof( of Judge or eouo
aet or Solicitor, that might be uttered
in the closing seen of sentencing the
husband and wite, with the poor inno
cent babe, unconscious of the doom
r awaiting its barenks, that must in de
gree for eer bear the stigma of shame.
Immediately iipoh the verdict being
rendered Mr. elver, for the defend
ants, madtf an appeal which was not
granted, the counsel stating bis objec
tions. " V " "
Judge Carter in passing the sentence,
gave every visible evidence of the
hardness of the task, . He stated that
the court had tip doubt as to the crime
, aaaiteg4 bem committed and the
guilt of Leon Casey. ' The court .had
carefully noted the appearance and
expression of the1 worn in during the
. trial, and her utter lack of appreciation
of the magnitude of the crime charged
against" her. The extreme youth at
which shewed married, her surround
ings, the disparity Inths ages of herself
. and her first husband Joseph Whitty,
44 and 15 Veers, seemed to deprive her
of all moral ideas', and today while le
gally responsible, she waa not mor
rally conscious of responsibility in the
death of Josepli Whitty. The turpitude
oi tne crime warranted the lull sen
tence30 yfatf, booths court could Oct
but regard the yquthfulness ofLeota
Casey, only mature physically,, atill a
cbild in fbtelc lnd in the conception
of moral Wail,' therefore tha sentence
would be Xear, At this, Mr. Mc-
( Iver inplored the court's mercy that the
sentence would be put in two. The court
replied that it would make the sentence
10 years at . hard, labor in the State
. prison, which would make . the time a
little over 8 years V
The court gave, Bun ill Casey the
. same sentence, judging him an acces
sory with, S .knowledge of the crime if
- noi a participant, i : , -
It was after midnight when the court
took a rece to this morning. (-
In the moin'ng session Mr. Mclver finish

THE WEAPONS
OF
Initiative, Referendum and Recall
Denounced By Arsb.bi.ihop
Ireland.
Council Bluffs, la., Oct. 13.
Initiative.referendum and recall were
termed the weapons of mobocracy bj
Archbishop Jre'and in an address at the
banquet of the Army of the Tennessee
here Wednesday night. , i
'The clamor now is heard," Archbis,
hoo Ireland said, "that the orgjnjziftion
of American .democracy Ut,'h as the re
public nas. kmwn for - century and a
quarter must be altered, torn ajunder,
under the pretence that with it the peo
ple do not govern with sufficient direct
ness, lift us hope that this clamor is
but a passing ebullition of feeling.
"Democracy, yes; mobocracy, never,
And toward mobocracy we are now bid
den to wend our way. Th e shibboleths
of the clamor the initi ative, referen
dum and recalls-put into general prac
tice, as the evangelists of the new so
cial gospel would fain have them, are
nothing more nor less than the madness
of democracy. The highest and purest
moral virtues run intoextretnes become
evil so with democracy.
'May we not, it ia asked, trust the
people? Yes, we 'trust the people, as
che framers of our Constitution trusted
them; as the people trust themselves
when interests other than political are
at stike, remitting thoie interests to
experts. We trust the people when
they treat matters with which they are
cooverssnt,.
'In the long run American public
opinion will be sure to right itself: the
misfortune is as we know too well, the
people may suffer from a temporary ex
citement. From the. consequences of
such excitement we should strive to save
the republic.
"With the initiative and referendum,
legislative bodies become mere bureaus
of registration and exchange for popu
lar views and opinions. All conclusive
authority is lost to them. A small frac
lion of the DODulation sets the mechin-
ery of legislation in motion, retards or
annuls its decrees. And. this for all
subjects, the most abstruse and compli
cated. ' The ultimate verdict, it is true
rests with the whole people; but many,
we must admit, as the problems regard
ing which the whole people have no ade
quate knowledge, to which in ti e throes
of a political campaign the prople ate
unable to' give the requisite reflection.
'But the worst is the recall. Stability
and independence in office for a fixed
period of time are essential. Liable to
recall, the official is continuoutily watch
ful of Lublic opinion. And then we
must remember the peYil to the public
peace of. the commonwealth. Fifteen
or even ten per cent, of the voters at a
preceding election gatheied probably
from" the defeated party may force,
the recall and bring on the turmoil of a
new campaign.
- "But what if the official has proved
himself unworthy of his trust? Our
laws and Constitution provide a remedy.
Let him be impeached and judged by
well estabi ished and impartial courts.
"The peril from the recall ia shown
when it Is extended to the judiciary. If
ever indepedence from popular clamor
ia imperiously demanded it is when
men are bidden to speak in the name of
supreme justice, regardless of conse
quence, when absolute calmness of mind
are the prerequisite to a decision. '
"Whatever the social or political rev-
olutlona with which the country may be
threatened, for the sake of America,
let us pray the God of nal ions, let there
be no sacreligiogs hand laid upon the
courts, impairing their independence or
lowering their .majesty.'

The Walker road iafknown to nearly
every merchant of Netf .Bern, and most
of its clticna. Someears ajo a fund
was subsqrjbecMorejsir this road, but
it was not wisely epoL; and today this
much needed road forf this city 's coun
try trade is miserable condition. As
the- season is .dr is it more passable
than usual, but any wet spell will again
render jt impassable. . .v l,. - v
A resident farnvir from the Aurora
section was a caller at the Journal of
fice Friday, . and told both of the road's
condition, and what ; would , result in
trade benefits to the merchants here, if
four miles of the.-Walker road was
proporly ditched, this being all that is
needed to repair to give a fine road ef
25 miles from Aurori, beyond and this
side and so secure theiarmsrs along this
road who want to come to New Bern t
sell their products and buy goods here.
The desire to react! Ne Barn for a
market is so urgent by the people in
the above section, that a petition show-
ng that this road will be rebuilt and
kept in good condition all the time, will
find signers who will .pledge money to
assist the work. . It is estimated that
$1,000 will pi ace this mad in order, and
no better work could bounder taken by
tha Chamber of Commerce than seeing
to this matter, and. by getting this
road rebuilt bring to "this city a large
trade that now goes else where.

DOCTRINE ISSUE
Ujoger in Senate's Failure To Rat
ify Nicaraue;au
Loan.
Washington, Oct. 13. Secretary of
State Knox, who has been spending the
summer and early autumn in the North
and at Hot Springs, has returned to
Washington to take op the question of
the loan to be mnde by American bank
ers to the government of Nicaragua for
the purpose of liquidating the national,
foreign and internal indebtedness.
This situation has been made acute
by the announcement of the British
government, which, it is understood,
his officially reached the Stata Depart
ment, that if payment of its $5,09),O00
claim against Nicaragua is not made by
October 21 proceedings will be institu
ted to collect the money. . The United
States ia not in a pesition to ask Great
Britain to withhold its suit on this
claim, inasmuch as American creditors
would be interested in such action, and
Great Britain would likely decide that
British clnitns are as important as those
of Americans.
The question of the Monroe doctrine
is regarded as a most delicate one in
view of the declaration that has been
made by the United States The State
Department may be forced to acknowl
edge that it is incapable of upholding
the famous doctrine in the face of Eu
ropean action in the Western Hemis
phere through tha failure of Congress
to ratify the lo in treaties made by the
State Department vith Nicaragua and
Honduras.
These treatiec, which provided for
the protection of both the republ cs and
the financiers interested in the matter
of the loans, were favorably accepted
by both repub.ics but rejected by the
United S ates Senate. Agreements at
ready have been siirned between the two
Latin countries and the New York bank
en for sums rang ng from ten million
to twelve million dollars each. The ad
vance of the money was held ud by the
bankers until the inierested govern
ments ratified the treaties, and now the
governments are understood to be back
ward about closing the dea's owing to
the lack of the officia guarantee by the
United States Government

Day, which was celebrated according to
cuHtom On October 12 at the University,
Tho occasion was an erjiyable one to
those who had gathered in annual con
clave to renew the spontaneous pledge
of fealty to their alma mater. They
entered with heartiness ol spirit at d
genuiness of interest into a discussion
of plans to increase tha usefulness of
that institution, and attesting fealty of
their regard, and proving their faith by
their work, they raised on the spot the
sum of $30 to further the work of or
gsnizir.g the Alumni of the Siate
into a ' position of efficiency and
influence. In addition to this they vot
ed to donate enough money to purchase
a scholarship for some worthy Craven
county boy. .

GUANO
in
TURERS MUST PAY
State, County and City Tax Ou.
The Guano Manufactured
By Them.
Judge Frank Carter rendered a de
cision last Friday in Craven County
Superior Court which may mean a sav
ing to the ; people or North ' Carolina
the enormous sum ' of $250,( 00 or nrire
this year and even greater Saving' in
the years to come. The judgments,
for there were two tfaies involving' jirC
ticsily the same q iestion, were render
ed in the esses of the Pocompke Guano
Co.. vs. J. W. Biddle. Shpiiff of Cra
ven county and the Board of Commis
sioners of Craven county anil the p.' B.
Martin Company agtinst the same de
fendants. It seems that for twenty
years or more there has been a statute
on the books providing for an inspection
charge of twenty cents on each ton of
fertilizer sold in the state arid that the
charge is paid by the purchase of cer
tain tags by the guano manufacturers
from the Agricultural Department of
the State. These tags are attached to
all of guano sold in North Carolina and
the statute after providing for the pur:
chase of the tags and the' placing 0'
them upon the guano packed, gos on
to say that whenever any. manufactur
er of fertilizers shall have paid the
charges for the tags, his goods shall
not be liabie lo any further tax. Whether
by city town or county. This law, the
fertilizer manufacturers claim, ex
empt them from any tix levied on them
from paying any tax levied on them by
any county or town. The Board of
Cummihioners of Crtven county recent
ly caused the fertilizer of the plaintiffs
in the cases men i med to be placed on
the tax books and ordered the sheriff to
collect the taxes juBt as taxes were col
lected from other species of property.
Then it was that the plaintiffs refused
to pay the tat. ' .: ' :v.
Tho city was represented in the ease
by Mr. R, A. Nunn while Mr. E. M.
Green appeared in behalf Of th coun
ty. In rendering his decision Judge
Carter said, that he was satisfied thai
the constitution of the State required
all real and personal property .to be
taxes by a uniform rule according to its
true value in money and and that all
taxed levied by any county mUst be
uniform and ad valorem upon all prop
erty in the county, except property ex
empted by the constitution itself or
such as the legislature waa" authorized
by the Constitution to exemp. Where
upon he decided that the tax levied by
the County Commissioners was ' valid
and signed an order dissolving the re
straining order and giving the judgment
against the plaintiffs for the amount of
the tax levied which in the two cases
amounted to over 11700, From this
judgement the plaintiffs appealed to the
Supreme Court.
