INTERESTING LETTER FROM
RALEIGH CORRESPONDENT
The Killing of Quails; Murdered la the Penitentiary; Socie
ty Girl Arrested F«r Shop Liftinr; A Worthy Com
pliment; Married in State Prison.
RALXISM, N. G* NOV. I.
The toothsome quail (or, aa we
of the SoOth mora familiarly call
them, the partridge) has for two
weeks baas here on the cafe tables
of the city—although the regular
season for killing them ia North
Carolina does not legally begin
till today.
There an s few exceptions, how
ever; Granville county, for ia
stance, where the trapping and
shooting of quail ia permissable
under the present law on and after
October 15th. So, of course, the
birds eaten here for the last . two
weeks, all came from one of these
few counties.

WHO SHALL DO JVKT SSSVICK?
It is worth while to notice bow
many of the jurors in the McCue
trial in Charlottsville, Virginia, hsve
felled to qualify for jury duty. A
large per cent of the special venire
has been stood aside for the reason
they claimed not to belive in capi
tal punishment under sny circum
stances. Not a few were rejected
because of their opposition to con
vict on circustantial evidence; oth
ers escaped because they had read
the papers and therefore had midt
up their minds, and coald not be
induced by evidence to change
their opinions concerning the guilt
or innocence of the prisoner. Un
der these conditions it becomes s
question, who, after all, shall do
jury duty? If the reading of news
concerning the facta, as reported
by the press, is to disquslify a jur
or from sitting on s case, then it
would sppear that the most intel
ligent part of the community is to
have little part in thia most impor
tant duty. It looks to be absurd
for a juror to declare he would not
convict on circumatantial evidence
where capital punishment was the
penalty. Circumstsntisl evidence,
when complete, is most certsin of
sll other forms of evidences snd
csrries its own conviction.

One night last week in Chsrlotte,
N. C., s well dressed society wom
an of good appearance, entered the
jewelry store of Garibaldi A Bruns
snd ssked to look at some watch
es. A tray containing several val
uabe gold watches was taken down
and placed before the lady on the
show esse. The lady was not sst
isfied with these, but asked to see
an article on a shelf behind. While
the salesman's back was turned,
the lady quietly walked out.
A woman answering the same
description was caught ia the act
of lifting come goods in the Little-
Long department stores yesterday.
She wss in the store looking at
some lace when she dropped it up
on the floor. She did not pick it
up st the time, but ssksd to see
some other article. She then seiz
ed the opportunity to stoop foftly
and pick ap the lace upon the floor
which she concealed in her gnp.
She waa observed by other clerka
who forced her to up her ato
len property. Several other stores
in which this womsn hss been seen

the stolen goods. : |
The society woman, daughter of
prominent parents residing in Lau
rinbug, arrested for la ceny (shop
lifting) was taken home Ister by
her father after a preliminary
hearing before the recorder.
When the case of the young
woman was called in the record
er's court, Mr. Heriot Clarkson, her
attorney, arose and waived exami
nation. He asked Recorder Shan
nonhouse that the bond ander
which ahe would be commited to
the superior court be made aa light
as possible, snd then read s posi
tion, 'signed by the four merchan
tile firms from which goods had
been taken, expreasing their opin
ion that the young woinan was
mentally affected. Ihe petition
was directed to Judge W. R. A 1 en
and Solicitor James L. Webb. It
contained the statement that full
restitution had been made the mer
chants concerned.
The recorder bound the defend
ant over to the higher court in a
bond offjoo, which aum was put up
by the father of the young woman,
who took her home later in the
day. Nothing but sympsthy is
expressed in regard to the de
plorable affair.

She wss nent up from Monroe

BIG DAY AT ROBHRSONYELE
- LARGE CROWD ON HAND
Hon. John H. Small and Hon. C. C. Daniels 91et With the
County Canvass and a Big
Day Is Had.
Last Saturday st RoberaonviUe
the County Canvass was joined by
the Hons. John H. Small and C.C.
Daniels. Speaking began at a
o'clock. Sheriff Crawford was the
first to speak and announced to his
audience that owing to the fact
that other speakers than the regu
lar candidates were present to par
ticipate in the discussion of politi
cal matters, he would not deliver
the 30-minute speech he had pre
pared for his RobersonviUe constit
ents, but would give way to them.
He thanked the voters for their fa
vors snd pledged himself to fill
his office with the same ability in
the future that be had in the post
Mr. W.C. Manning, in the course
of his remarks, stated that he had
not been out of the county since
deeded to the office of Register of
Deeds and asked for fonr days next
March that he might go to Park
er's innuguiation. Mr. Manning
thanked the people of the township
for their suffrage and asked for a
continuance of same.
He was followed by Hon. J. B.
Coffield. candidate for the House
of Representatives, who spoke on
the need of good roads and show
ed that a special tax of 20 cents on
the SIOO woith of property would
net over >7.000. He asked that
the people of the county enlighten
hiin in regard to how they wanted
the roads worked.
Mr. Coffield then introduced the
Hon. C. C. Daniels, of Wilson,
who delivered a fine speech. He
congratulated the people upon hav
ing only two parties. He com
pared the republican party to a
large city's water system; with its
pipes forming a great net work
throughout the entire city, and
those that used it had to pay for it.
On the other hand, the Democrat
ic party is like a srreatn of pure
water flowing by at the feet of the
people, free to all who wanted it.
He spoke of the penitentiary be
ing a source of profit now, instead
of a great bnrden, as under Rus
sell's administration. And men
tioned the increase of pensions; of
the increase ot public schools. In
a few words he showed how the
Democratic administration bad in
creased the resources of the State.
He spoke in glowing terms of Gov
ernor Aycock's administration and
assured the people that Bob Glenn
will continue Aycock's policies.
After touching upon nations*
policies, and referring to the Cuban
and Philippine deals, he closed his 1
speech amid a round of applause.
Hon. John H. Small, member of
Congress, was the next to speak,
and the following is a partial sy
nopsis of his speech:
Mr. Small expressed his pleasure
in meeting again the citizens ot
Robersonville and vicinity. He
referred to the generous treatment
which had always been accorded
to him by the good people of Mar
tin county and particularly of this
section file adverted to the high
character and capacity of the Demo
cratic candidates for the county
offices and the splendid financial
condition of the county, which in
his judgment should be extremely
gratifying to the people and pre
eminently entitle the Democratic
candidates lo a vote of confidence
and approval. He spoke of his be
ing the nominee of the Dcmocrat-c
party for Congress for the fourth
successive time and expressed his
deep gratitude tor the high honor,
which could be best redeemed, he
insisted, by a faithful performance
of duty and by diligence and indus
try, bringing of the people to the
district such benefits as they were
entitled to receive from the General
Government. He discussed some
of these benefits, among which was
the improvement of the mail ser
vice and congratulated the people
of the county and section, particu
larly upon the extension of the ru
ral free delivery aervice and prom
ised with the aid of his constituents
to exercise his best efforts to fur
ther extend his service to other
homes in the county.
lfr. Small then entered upon a
discussion of some of the political
issues. He reminded the .people
that as citizens they owed a dual
duty, one to the Government of
the United States and the other to
the State of North Carolina, but
that both were consistent and har
monious and there could be no
friction when each kept within its
legitimate sphere. He fitst discuss
ed national issues or the relations
which we entertain toward the gen
eral government, and said he would
only discuss two economic propo
sitions upon which there was a
marked distinction between the
two parties and these were taxation
for the purpose of raising revenue
and the expenditure of that reve
nue for the support of government.
We pay taxes for the support of
State and local government direct
ly, the amount being based upon
the amount of real and personal
property owned by the citizen; for
the general government taxes are
paid indirectly and principally
through the medium of the tariff
and internal revenue, the great
bulk being raised through customs.
That the power to levy taxes was
the highest attribute of sovereignity
anf} should lie levied so us to bear
equally up»n all classes and sec
tions. The Democratic party be
lieves in equal rights and opportu
nities for all and that all burdens
should be borne equally and all
bene6ts justly distributed. There
fore, Democrats believed that the
primery object of tariff taxes was
to raise revenue for the support of
the Government economically ad
ministered and that such identical
protection as followed from such a
tariff should be for the benefit of
new and struggling industries and
not for those which had been firm
ly established and were able to com
pete with the world. He traced
the doctrine of protection as ndvo
cated by the Republican party and
its predecessors and explained how
its original purpose for the upbuild
ing of infant industries had betn
so distorted that it was now used
to protect strong and powerful
combinations which enabled tlieni
to fleece the American consumer,
which built up one section at the
expense of others and which made
possible the formation and mainten
ance of great trusts and. monopolies
thereby destroying competition
which promised, the only rtlief
from high protective duties. It was
further shown how these mono
polies had become so great and
arrogant that they were openly
selling to foreign consumers at a
much lower price than to our own
people. The Dingley tariff law of
1897 imposed the highest schedule
of duties ever before enacted which
had increased the evils complained
of and made heavier the burdens
imposed upon the consumers. He
asked that any fair and just man
wonld recommend for such a con
dit.on; was not the apparent remedy ,
to reduce such a tariff which made 1
possible such molalities and bur
dens and therein curh the power
of the trusts, prevent the unjust
discrimination against our home
people and to give the consumers
