Neal, of Scotland County, Judge Presiding. CC. Daniels, Solicitor . - s By S. ATWOOD NEWELL Judge Neal prefaced his charge with the remarks that his early life was spent In Eastern Carolina. His fathet taught school here in this town, and he has a very warm attachment for Williamston. Some say that* there ought to be a statute prohibiting every breach of public rights, I don't think so, we have iaws enough, and what we need is the enforcement of what statutes we have. ' In his charge to the grand jury the judge told them that he was not going to take np their time de fining the various laws and crimes, but would tell them in a general way their various duties. „ ' Perjury and embracery were the two crimes to which he wished to which he wished to call special at tention. Perjury, offehce against public justice, the wilful making of a false statement by a witness under oath in a judicial proceeding for the purpose of misleading the court and the jury. Embracery, tampering with the jury. This crime is often perpetrated by part ies to an action seeing one or more ami tryinSl to bribe or influence them to decide the case in his favor without any regard to to the evi dence produced. These two crimes are serious inleferences with the course of the couise of justice, and any one convicted of either of these crimes at this court will be severe ly punished. The jury system is the best ever yet derived for dispensation of jus tice. A tnan is arraigned and tried by twelve of his peers, or equals. These twelve men know more about the circumstances sur the party on trial than would a student who spends his time iu bis books and excluded from the every day affairs of life. You will observe that Judge Neal's charge was a strong moral plea—laying more stress on the right and equity that upou the statutory laws. Judge Neal closed his charge with a strong lecture on public roads, a lecture which every citizen of Martin County should have heard. Martin County has gone forward with rapid strides. It has ■lade wonderful progress commer cially. But as to roads, Its means of travel and transporting its pro duce to market it has made but lit tle progress. Your roads are work ed under the old system of road overseers and hands, who never do any work of benefit upon the roads. Good roads movements are usually opposed by the fanners who pay las taxes, in proportion, than the townsmen, and the greatest ben efits from the good roads. Vote bonds and improve your roads and you will find your farm property will double in value immediately. Under Qpv. Aycock, the educa tional era, frsrth Carolina made more progress than had been made in the preceeding 50 years. But it Would be better for every school in North Carolina to be closed for five years and build good roads than that the schools should continue and the roads be neglected. Judge Neal Jstated that with a view to ascertaining what effect these bad roads had upon the minds of the women and children who were isolated in their homes he had investigated the statistics of the asylums of the state and he found that there were 68 per cent more of farmers wives and daughters there than there were men. He enquired the cause of this, and the anewer isolation i The wife and daughters are kept there in the same little room with no restful change of environment until their minds finally fail to act at all. Now this is a strong appeal to our good people ,for better roads. Let us be up and doing, go to work and make our roads as good as any body's and not be a laughing stook for the outside World.
