HilJsboro, March 15. The twelve Orange county farmers sitting in judgment upon the case of the State against Ralph W. Oldham of Ral eigh, William L. Merriman of Wil mington and Aubrey G. Hatch of! Mount Olive, set a precedent in the ! criminal proceedings of North Caro lina and gave the practice of hazing a stunning blow when, at 3:10 this afternoon they returned a verdict of manslaughter against the three so phomores. The announcement of the verdict by the foreman of the jury came at the end of three hours deliberation, and the decision arrived at by the twelve men who had sat patiently on the cae s:nce Thursday was cause for no surprise. Even the fathers of the boys had displayed nervous anxiety over the welfare of their sons after Judge Peebles' charge to the jury at 11:35 in the morning, and one father, who had watched every step in the pro gress of the trial, evinced extreme nervousness during the morning ses sion and broke down in tears at the noon recess of court. No less anx ious were some of the court room spectators in the announcement of the verdict yet fearing the worst for the three boys at the bar. When the jurors filed into the room signi fying their readiness to pronounce their decision, intense silence hung over the little court room On the announcement of the verdict, attor neys for the defense and the parents of the boys retired in an adjoining room for consultation. Judge R. B. Peebles, then, with out any undue ceremony, passed sentece upon the three young men, which was the minimum penalty ex acted in the case of manslaughter. He pronounced sentence, in these terms: "That each of the defend ants shall be imprisoned in the coun ty jail of Orange for four months, beginning "the eigrrtft liay of'Aprii, 1913. In the meantime each de fendant shall give a bond in the sum of $100 for his appearance before the sheriff of Orange county, at Hillsboro, N. C, to obey the order of the county commissioners, who shall in their discretion hire them out to whomsoever they please in this State. The defendants are to be taxed with the costs in this ac tion." Simmons tnairman Finance Committee Washington, March 14. The dem ocratic forces took charge of the United States senate last night, elected new officers to preside over that body and paved the way for the reorganization of committees, and a new control of legislative af fairs. Another session of the dem ocratic "steering" committee, last ing late into the evening brought the list near to completion. The nersonnel of the finance com mittee, which is to handle all tariff bills, became dehmtely known last night. As now agreed upon it is: ts Chairman.

Trade-Mark 13-M THE MAN OF THE HOUR. Is Wooirow Wilson Destined to Become Jin other Abraham Lincoln. BY CLYDE H. TAVENNER, M. C. Washington, March 17. Wood-; row Wilson, Man of the Hour, has j an opportunity to make himself the greatest President since Abraham Lincoln, and to keep the Democratic j party in power for years to come. -This is true not merely because he is today President of the United States. There have been other big men president since Lincoln. It is because Woodrow Wilson realizes that the one great principal issue that confronts the republic is not the tariff issue, the currency issue, or the trust issue, but the issue of humanity. Taft did not realize this hence his failure. The tariff issue, the currency issue and the trust issue are simply arith metical problems that may be work ed out, but the issue of humanity is one of conscience and soul. The first named issues are business prop ositions, and concern dividends and dollars chiefly, while the issue of humanity refers to human rights, the protection of women and chil dren and all those who are being op pressed by organized greed. If the American public will read Woodrow Wilson's inaugural speech a second time, a better interpreta tion of the light that he sees may be had. No inaugural speech save the first one of Abraham Lincoln ever read like it. "We know our task is t- oe no task of politics," he says, "but a task which will search us through and through. Men's hearts wait upon us; men's lives hang in the balance. I summon all honest men, all patriotic, all forward-looking men, to my side. God helping me, I will not fail them, if they will but counsel and sustain me!" jTrVi2i:SI .'.7ILSSJ.!. - ; It is an old tradition in congres- j sional circles in Washington that a President must not "interfere" with J either branch of Congress. He may submit whatever views he may have on a subject, and recommend the passage of any legislation he may desire, but after that, according to tradition, he must sit with hands folded and watch legislation which may be highlg desirable to the peo p!e, be peacefully chloroformed in committee and pass into oblivion. It is said that Woodrow Wilson is . -a , 1 . going to disregard tnis tradition. This will be for the public good. The only ones who will protest will be those opposed to the progressive ideas that Woodrow Wilson stands for. The President will be sustained by popular sentiment. The people, Republicans as well as Democrats, have for years been demanding a square deal at the hands of their public servants in Washington, and they still demand it. They don t care whether it comes from a Dem ocrat or a Republican, they simply want it. President Woodrow Wil son proposes to give it to them. The people know full well he will have to fight, and they will hold up his hands, even should he find it neces sary, in their interest, to break down a half dozen traditions! "Ad Idle Mao's Read Is the Devils Workshop. If a man is hanging around d rk alleys, dringing whiskey and doing nothing through the daytime and by his presence and habits of loafing encourages others to do likewise he is not a good citizen. If this man has no visible property ani no visible means of support, such as lucrative employment, it is prima facie evicence that he is get ting his money either by selling whiskey, gambling, shooting crap, or in some dishonorable or uncertain way. It does not hurt a man to work. It is God s command and the man who is able to work and does it not, hut. keeDs company with the vicious and immoral, such a man is a men ace to society and coveys of such people should not b-; allowed to con gregate and herd together, for if they do it is merely a question of time when they will commit some crime. Such men, it matters not if they can show some money should be re quired to secure employment, and if they do not Ihey should be sent to the roads for vagrancy, for they are the very worst of vagrants. Wilson Times. FOUR NEW SUPERIOR COURT JUDGES. George Rounlree, Geo. W. Connor, Iho?. J. Shaw, GameroD Morrison. Raleigh, March 13. Gov. Craig has completed his slate for the four superior court judgeships created by the legislative act which redis tricts the State and adds four addi tional circuits. According to gos sip and well founded reports here the four men determined upon by Governor Craig are: George Rountree, of Wilmington. George W. Connor, of Wilson. Thos. J. Shaw, of Greensboro. Cameron Morrison, of Charlotte. All of these reported appointees are known throughout the State, and each has been prominently iden tified in furthering the Craig cam paign. Mr. Connor served during the late assembly as speaker of the house. While little is known as to the governor's slate for the four solici torships, it seems certain that J. C. Bower, of Lexington, law partner of State Senator Wade Phillips, will be named for the Greensboro dis trict. Several who were known to have been aspirants for the place have asked that their names be with drawn since the failure of the as sembly to put the office on a straight salary. No Wines or Liquors lo While House For Period ot Four Years. Washington, March 10. The Wil son administration will be "dry." This expression is used entirely in a sense that appeals to the inner man of the nation and not necessarily to those who look for stereotyped me thods of government. It became known that President Wilson and his family are averse to the use of liquor or wine in any form. Intoxi cating liquors will have no place in the white house during the next four., vesra, rils? th 'sidpnt's views undergo a sharp change. Secretary of State Bryan, as is well known, has been a prohibition advocate for many years. On one occasion Mr. Bryan would have made it a national issue and it was through his efforts that the prohi bition legislation in Nebraska was put into effect. It is well known that Speaker Clark is a teetotler and has been for many years. The fact that a large portion of the Democratic majority in the senate and house is from the south, where prohibition is general, makes certain the fact that there will be little wine and less wassail than has been known in Washington for many years. There never has been so dry a prospect in the white house since the days of President Hays when Mrs. Hays excluded wines and li quors from the executive mansion immediately upon becoming its mis tress. North Carolina is sitting at the head cf the table in Washington these days. With Editor Daniels at the head of the Navy, and Prof. Houston, a former North Carolinian, at the head of the Department of Agriculture, and Senator Overman as Chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, and Senator Simmons at the head of the big Finance Com mittee, not to say anything of what our able representatives are doing- North Carolina has no room for com plaint at the way things are turning thesa days. Smithfield Herald. PRESCRIPTION For a Long Life. This Is the prescription for a long life given by an old gentleman in Con necticut, who Is ninety-nine years old and still well and cheerful, "Live temperately, be slow to anger, don't worry, take plenty of exercise in the fresh air, and, above all, keep cheer ful." Should the system get run down idigestive organs weak the blood thin and sluggish, take Vinol, which is a delicious combination of the medicina body-building properties of cods' livers, with the' useless grease elimi nated' and tonic iron added. We re gard Vinol as one of the greatest body-builders and strength-creators in the world for aged people. Mrs. Mary Ivey, of Columbus, Ga., says: "If people only knew the good Vinol does old people, you would be unable to supply the demand; it Is the finest tonic and strength-creator I ever used." We wish every feeble old per son in this vicinity would try Vinol on our agreement to return their money if it fails to give satisfaction. P S. If you have any skin trou ble try Saxo Salve.

Simmons was today appointed chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. In addition to this, he retained the places he had previously held as member of the Committees on Commerce, Coast De fense, Engrossed Bills, Civil Service, Expenditures in Department of Ag riculture, Interoceanic Canals, and Transportation and Sale of Meat Products. Senator Overman gained a victory but little less in importance when he was named chairman of the Rules Committee, and a member of the Appropriations, Claims, Judiciary, Industrial Expositions, Forest Re servations and University of the United States Committees. From the very beginning of the fight, which was won by alertness and through a universal recognition of their extraordinary qualifications, there has never existed in the minds of the Senators and friends familiar with the real situation any doubt of the final outcome. CONGRATULATIONS. Both Senators, were tonight the re cipients of congratulations on the part of the other members of the delegation in this city, and hundreds of telegrams from "Down Home." They will move within a few days to their new committee rooms in the Capitol building. Drapers Cross Roads Items. Drapers X Roads, Mar. 10.

Mr. Mustain, pastor of the deceased, they were laid to rest in the church yard with the honors of the fraternal order of the Farm- ers union to await tne last can oi our Saviour. On Thursday afternoon, the 6th, another gloom was cast over the neighborhood when the news was spread that Mrs. Henry Lewis was dead. Mrs. Lewi3 had been very ill about ten weeks, and while her death was momentarily expected it came as a great shock to her people and friends. She leaves a husband, six children, an aged father, one sister, three brothers and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn their los?, The remains werenter red in the family burying ground at three o'clock Friday afternoon in the presence of a large gathering of her relatives and friends. The ser vices were conducted by Rev. A. G. Willcox. Rev. A. G. Willcox filled his regu lar appointment at Turkey Branch last Sunday. Mr. Willcox is in fail ing health. He is scarcely able to meet his appointments, but we trust he may have many more years to labor for his Lord. Craig Pardons Man He Defended. Raleigh, March 12. Governor Craig- has pardoned F. C. Watkins, the Black Mountain constable, whom he defended for killing- John Hill Bunting, a prominent travelling man, three years ago in a Black Mountain hotel. Governor Craig relates the testi mony, declaring Bunting and a banker, Paul Collins, who was seri ously shot, had terrorized the hotel j guests, and Watkins was called af-1 ter midnight to restore order. The j irnirornnr savs thev attacked Wat-! king and he shot them in self de fense. "I defended Watkins, do not believe he is guilty, he ought not to have been convicted and has suffered too much," Governor Craig says. Watking served eight of his eighteen months on the roads.
