The death of General Fitss hugh Lee came as a treinen inendous blow to the whole United Staler, especially to the South and Virginia. General Lee had beeu prominent aud his effort more effective in reconciling the sections created by the civil war than any man. Himself a soldier and general in that great struggle, after terwards beiag one of tlie most conspicuous representatives of the re-united government in Cuba and American relations with Spain, he fought for the Federal flag A? bravely and heroicly as ho had dashed for the Confederate Hag. Since the Spanish war lie has been conspicuous in public life. His latest position of honor was that of president of the James town Exposition He had re markable success in getting aid of the different States, north and south, east and wost. He has hold all the positions of honor his people could give him and he filled them with conspicuous ability. University Commencement. THK KNTBRPKISK is ill re ceipt of an invitation to the one hundred and eighth com mencement of tin* University el North Carolina to be held dur ing the 29th, 30lti and !51st >l May. This is a significant oc casion in the history of the State and marks its progress As does Christinas the age and progress of Christianity. It means that nearly a hundred young men have this great in stitution's stump upon them as prepared to begin the battle ol life. It does not moan that the University has given any body any brains but it has put them in a condition whereby their brain can be used more advantageously. It has been a loug time since there was a commencement at this grand old institution that Martin county has not taken some part in its proceedings. From year to year we have had graduates, speakers and a marshals. This year we have a marshal—Mr. Charles Hasscll, ot Williamston. Mr. Hasseil is finishing his junior year and will be a graduate next year. He is an excellent student and being elected marshal id evi dence that he is very popular with his class-mates.

There has been a ocngestion of cars on the railroads that prevented the shipment of strawberries and other truck crops from Eastern Carolina It was estimated some days ago that the truckers in the Wilmington section had lost $600,000 for the want of re frigerator cars in which to ship strawberries. Thousands of crates of berries had to be dumped into rivers. This if a severe loss to the people and whoever is guilty should suffer accordingly . The Reliability Habit. (Written forTrni Kntkkprisk.) I know a boy who is bright, hon est and industrious, and yet almost every time I meet him he is hunt ing a job. He has to work, for he earns his own living, but he never seems able to stay at one place more than a week or two. I will give you his record then yon will know the reason. Ray, that was his name, had a good position in a lawyer's office. One day the lawyer sent him with an important message to a client. He lost the message and the lawyer lost his case, and Ray lost his position. He was next errand boy for a store. The merchant needed him badly one afternoon wheu he could not be found. Ray gave a good excuse and the merchant forgave his absence. A few days later, it was Saturday and a very busy day, he failed to come to the store at all. Monday morning he tried to give another good excuse, but the mer chant cut him short, saying he hired people to do things not to make excuses for not doing them, and Ray had to hunt another job. A farmer next gave him a tHil. The first Sunday the farmer was away Ray failed to feed and water the hogs. The farmer scolded him for his negligence, but he gave such good excuse that the farmer did not discharge him. A few days later he left the gate open and the cattle wandered into the wheat, .. 1 ! The farmer thought thiH—might have an accident, and simply cautioned him to lie more careful. But the very next day instead of putting the calves in the barn-yard, the cows in the pasture and the sheep in the woods lot, he put the cows and calves both into the rye field and the sheep in the barn. Then the farmer told him the quicker he got back to town the l>etter it would be for all con cerned. lie was badly in need of work, and, in spite of his reputation for carelessness, an editor decided to take him into his newspaper ofTke. The first day he leaned his elbow against a form and pied u whole galley of type, Two days later he s;tit him to the telegraph office with a news dispatch. At the end of the week he learned tljat the dispatch was never delivered at all. Ivrly the next week he sent him to a neighltoritig town with a valu able package; he got off the train at the town hut left the package on the seat. Then the editor saw he must discharge the lniy or go out of business. For every one of these failures he could Rive a good excuse, tint men can get plenty of excuses without having to pay for them. This bright boy, who might now lie drawing a good salary, has such a reputation of l>eing unreliable that the only work he can get is an occasional odd job at some rough work that carelessness cannot spoil. In the same town there are many boys not so bright nor so active holding good positions in line for promotion. The person that counts is the one that can be depended upon. When a boy undertakes to do a thing, if he does it and does it on tiiue, and thus establishes « repu tion for being trustworthy, he is on the road that leads to success. Every boy who wants to succeed must cultivate the reliability habit. Whenever anything Ls intrusted to him he must- concentrate his mind on that thing and see that it is done at once and done just the very best he can do reliability habit can soon be formed and it is worth more than a gold mind.

It is strange sometimes what ar* guments are used as a basis for ap plication for pardon. Application is often wade on the ground that evidence of guilt was deemed insu ficient at the time of trial: some times the plea is made that neces sary evidence could not be secured at the trial, while often it is assert ed that the judges and solicitors favor the pardons requested on the ground that there is doubt in their minds as to the justice of the ver dict. Now these are probably good and sufficient excuses for pardons and if these facts are established a pardon should certainly be granted. But why should there be such con dition demanding a pardon? The supposition of the law is that a man shall lie deemed innocent un til conclusive proof of his guilt is shown If there was doubt us to guilt the prisoner should not have been convicted in the first place and the judge should not have al lowed the verdict to stand. Some times a pardon is requested on the grouud that the punishment is ex cessive and the judge and solicitor sign the application. If the pun ishment is excessive the matter should be remedied but why was excessive punishment inflicted in the first place ? Those are ques tions that should be considered for a matter of right is involved. If a man is not proved guilty by con clusive evidence he should not be allowed to suffer punishment even if there is some indication of guilt If this policy were always rigidly adhered to there would lie little necessity for pardons except in ex treme cases. —Winston Sentinel. At the risk of betraying a lack of familiarity with the subject as conspicious as that which appears in the foregoing, we essay to re mark that our esteemed contempo rary argues from false premises. For instance, we know of no law that requires conclusive proof of guilt to convict one legally charg ed with a crime. All the law re quires is that the evidence shall preclude a reasonable doubt of the defendant's guilt. We have heard liUftyY* Hav tliat I LIRORS should IK; satisfied beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt, but we think that is a stronger statement than the law warrants. Then, the, law makes the jury the judge of the proof under the instruction of the court. The judge may not lie satisfied in his own mind that a verdict of guilty is warranted by the; facts, but unless the finding of the jury were in fragrant disre gard of the proof it would be pre sumption in hint to set the verdict STOP THAT COUGHING!

Still, it is wpll for judges to be very cautious about setting up their own opinions against those of the jury. It is a case of one agfinst twelve, you see. As to evidence tending to estab lish the innocence of oue found guilty of a crime, discovered alter conviction, we understand that it will not avail in any subsequent ju dicial proceedings The only way, we believe, in which newly discov ered evidence mav inure to the benefit of one convicted of crini.: is to bring it to the -«tteuiioti of the pardoning power in connection with a petition for clemency. Such evi dence, had it been presented at the trial, might have had (he jury to render a verdict of not guilty;after conviction it may alford justifica tion for pardon. . It happens sometimes that the punishment does not fit the cri ue, without anybody being 10 bl tine for it. As to rnoit crimes the law reposes in the judge a certain dis cretion in regard to fines pr terms of imprisonment; but there are limits to such discretion. We knew a judge once to sentence a man to five years in prison for stealing a horse. At the same time there were extenuating circumstances i that disposed his honor to mercy ' but he remarked in passing sen tence that five years was the miu imum, and lie couldn't do otherwise than impose the sentence. Had the man applied for a pardon it would not have been improper for the judge to certify his opinion that the punishment in that case was excessive. Our system of courts and juries has been sanctioned by the wisdom ] of centuries as the safest and best for the public and those accused of crime that has ever been devised; but the best things of human in vention are admittedly imperfect at some point. So our laws have pro vuled the pardoning power as a Iwl ance, so to speak, to the judge ami jury. Wisely used, it will pro mote substantial justice; exercised indiscriminately, it will prove an abuse of power and have a tenden cy to defeat the ends of justice.— Raleigh Post.

A man of modest and retiring nature, Mr Duke has made hi* name a house hold word, in every coiner of the state. Beginning at the bottom, he achieved success in business and made himself a name among the i great manufacturers of the state when industrial enterprise was in its beginning. He achieved suc cess and acquired a competency and when advancing years admon ished hiin to cease from labor, he retired to the fulicities of home life that he loved so well leaving in competent hands the great enterprise he founded. Be ginning life a poor boy, and com ing to maturity a poor man, he wooed fortune successfully; and after becoming wealthy, he used his means freely to bless many whose store of worldly goods was small. Washington Duke is best known for his benefactions to Trinity Col lege. Though others gave liberally he gave more. It was his munifi cence that made modern, progres sive Trimly a possibility. His name and his memory will survive in this institution, and future gen erations of Trinity students and graduates will rise up and call him blessed. Full of years and honors, Wash ington Duke has been gathered to his fathers. A ripened sheaf has been gathered into the garner. It was of such as him, we are con strained to believe, the Spirit spoke these words: "Their works do fol low them."—Raleigh Post. Tin Tried Ml Marl!
