'Whereas, this community has watch ed with interest the proceedings in the trial of Baker Bryan for murder ; and anxiously awaited the verdict of . th- iry in this important trial, and, where as, to the surprise of all who heard or read the testimony and to the dismay of all, who are interested ia the en forcement of law and suppression ' 61 vice, the jury-rendered a verdict which sets at liberty the said Baker, Bryan and which encourages and in a measure justifies the datrustof the jury system as we have it administered.

Reaglved, That occurrences such as this are the legitimate consequence of series of lesser crimes committed op?nly and II igran' ly in this community which have gone unpunished. ' - .' With every failure of law enforce ment jn minor cases,1 the criminal ele ment has received comfort and gained assurance, and prog e iou in crime, which has culm'natid in murder, is due to laxitv of law enforcemein. - " uesoivea, inai it is me nence oi iihj meeting that official! of the city and county,, who are charged with the dnty of enforcing our criminal laws, should mote dilligently and faithful!) perform their duties, and that the law abiding citis na of the ' community instead of shirking jury duty and other obliga tions Of citizenship should' lend moral support and give physical aid to the of ficers of the law in the discharge of their duties." y - ' Never befjfe has there been such a mass of peopls in Craven county s court house.

F Editor Manufacturers Record De- j . j t Clares Developments , Just Begun, ! ' "No better illustrat-'on of what the South has achieved could be given than the growth of its banking interests, which typify tbe accumulated wealth of that section," said Richard H. Edmonds editor of the Manufacturers' Record, which is thia-week icsuing its 8th h! an niversary edition, covering the material upbuilding of the South since 1880. ''n 1880," he continued, the total individu al deposits in the national, banks ot the South were $73,124,523, as compared with a total for the United States of 1874,637,637. Today tbe individual de posits in the national banks of: tbe South aggregate $957,228,510, or $830, 900,000 more than the individual depos its in all the national banks of the Uni ted States in 1880. ,; - , "Since 1880 the population of the South has increased 77,5 per cent., but in the same time its individual deposits in national banks have increased 1,209 percent, and deposits in other finan cial institutions 908 per cent. It has in the same period increased its capital in vested in manufac uring 930 per cent , its capital in cotton mills 1,304 jer cunt its capital in cotton seed oil mills 2,452 per cent, and its expenditU'e for pub lic education 625 per cent. .-, . -' "In 1880 the South expended on its common schools $12,471,000; last year it expended for the same purpose $78. 000,000.' This very great increase in common school expenditures has not been due to any spasmodic growth of the last few years, but to a steady, gradual expansion of school expendi tures from the very day when the south emerged from the poverty and destruc tion of the wr. ' . "The production of coal in the South lait year was 115,000,000 tons, as com pared with a total for the United States in 1880 of 71,481,000 tons. The South's production of petroleum last year was 85,000,000 barrels, as compared with 26.000.000 barrels for the United States in 1880. :.;v--. . - ., , . -.'..'.. ... "In 1880 there were in the United States 10,653.000 spindles operated ;in cotton mills, most of these being iu the North. At the present time the south has 11,336.000 cotton spindles. The to ut, value of farm products of the sou h last year waa $3,000,000,000. a gain as compared with 1880 of 296 per cent., but the orost amazing thing in connnec tion . withthis value of t,he farm! pro ducts is that it exceeded by $700,000, 000 the total value of the farm crops of the United Stales in 1880. The value of farm lands and building in the South advanced from $2,212,000,000 in 1880 to $8,771,000,000 in 1911, or a gain of 305 per cent. . ... , M- "It is only when the progress of the South, with a population of 81,000,0u0, ia compared with what the entire coun try, with a population of 60 000,000, was achieving in 1880, that we get a proper realization of the growth of the South. As shown by these figures, the South is now spending upon its common schools as much aa the United States then expended,,, notwithstanding the difference in population, tbe aggrega'e individual deposits in national binks in the South largely exceeds similar de posits in the national banks ot the Uni ted States in 1880, tha output ot the coal mines of the South is 44,000,000 tons grester than the total coal produc tion of the United States in 1880; and yet the development of the South has scarcely begun."
