VTRITEFOIICUTSAirD PRICES. .1 Federal Courts, Political laeblnss. A recent issue of the Asheville Daily Gazette contains the follow tog : v "While on the bench in the Federal court reaterdar Judge Boyd took occuioa to allude to a matter that tai ontaide the caae then on trial. , He mmI that in the newspaper ceporta of a recent debate in oo n great a atatenrent had been made that the Federal jurora of North Carolina conaiated ol men of the aame politual party. Now." said Jud Boyd, "the iurr boxes of this district are selected by two 4 t. - iVf commissionen, one mm eacn pouucai artr and these eommimioaers obtain a ist of nsmaa from prominent and tub. Manual oujloeas men OI each party, equalt. from the different sou n list in the district and these names are placed in the box from which the jurors are drawn. "While there have been no specific complaint made to me on the subject, my attention has been drawn to the matter throuch the newspapers as I hare stated and if there is auy fronod for talk on the subject I hare not beea cognizant of it and I will sea that the selection of the Jurora is carried on strict!? as I hare outlined. "The two commisMoueri in this Judicial district are Mr. McKesson aod Mr. Millar, who represent respecureir the two main political purties." rne luage men questioned ueputr wiera Lona In renrd to the number of jurors selected from the Western district of North Carolina and was informed by him that the number lor this term was too. "Then." said his honor, "there should be 12 democrats and an equal number of republicans Irons which the juries now sit ting; were drawn. This plan has been in operation since I hare been on the bench and politics shall nerer enter into any question in this court room while I am prcaiatna.- - Judge Boyd may do .everything in his power, until be shall be re tired from the bench by reason of his age, to keep politics out of his Court, but be will never be able to raise the dignity of the , Federal Court above that of a political ma chine used for tht coercion of voters into a political party to which they do not want to belong, so long ai United States Senators and Con gressmen, through whose influence almost every officer connected with that Court, holds his job, desert their posts of duty and attempt to take charge of the Court and its docket and spend weeks messing with misdemeanor cases. The people pay their Senators and Congressmen handsome salar ies for their services, not for a pri or their time but for all ot their time, and what right have they to disregard the interests of the! peo ple and put in their time looking after private matters in the Federal Courts?. -. . c ' . Not only do these representatives feel that they have an undue ad vantage by reason of the fact that they were instrumental in procur ing; tbe positions for all those who are connected with the Court, but even their political heelers through out the district, who are kept la positions through the influence of these same gentlemen, or who are looking to them for some promised job, exercise themselves in behalf of their political bosses by trying! to make some political gain out of every case which is prosecuted in the Courts by means of threats and promises. - J These political heelers make such representations to litigants' as to make them beleive that the Jndge, District Attorney, Marshal and all other oncers connected with the Court are under the abso lute control of these Senators and Rfprtsctita'Jves Lt tie reason that i'j t'roc;h tit b" jcace of sack Senators and , Representatives that these officers procure their jobs. It is also perfectly natural for the general impression . to be abroad in the land, that, the jury systenvpf tb Federal Court is con ducted with ri eye single to poli tics, when political heelers try to make a point with jurors who are summonsed to attend a Federal Court by trying to make them be lieve that they had been chosen as a juror as a special favor coming to them from the Republican party. Why is it that people who live in and around the cities of Statesville, Greensboro and Charlotte feel com pelled to come to the mountains of Madison county to get a lawyer to aeiena inetn wnen tney get en tangled in the Federal Courts? Is it because these cities and surround ing counties have no attorneys capable of trying a liquor case? Or is it because by coming to the mountains of Madison county they can get a man who is a law-partner and son-in-law of a United States Senator? We don't think that there is a man in the State of North Carolina so ignorant as to imagine for a moment that it is on account of legal ability that such is the case. It is perfectly plain that the peo ple are of the opinion that the Fed eral Courts are nothing but politi cal machines operated by politicians for political ends, And the people are hard to fool; 14 15 16 M.........M. ...... ..4 None.

In tbe early morning of tbe first day of the week and the first day of the twelfth month of the seventy eighth year of the nineteenth oen tury was my visible existence begun in a hewn-log structure, the house of the maidenhood of my mother, near the present city of Marshall in tbe county of Madi son and state of Sir Waller Raleigh. Owing to an obscure and illite rate ancestry my lineage can not be traced further back than my great grand-parents, but "think"! am descended from somewhere over the sea. Whil I have been a philomath from early childhood and hare seemingly stuffed my cranium to its utmost bound with sound and valuable lore, yet. if my ignorance were written, I suppose that the wor'.d would be too small to con tain the volumes. My preseut home is in the land of Liberty, the state of a Bachelor, county of Peaoa and towu of Con tentment, Wishing The Record, the polit ical organ of county reform, and its oo-workers great success, I will close for the meantime.

In 1800 I married a nrettv mountain girl, eighteen years old, I married her because .1 loved her. We settled down oa a mountain farm and we lived a happy life until disease came and finally ruined her health. In 1890, God saw fit, iu His wisdom, to end her sufferings and take her home. On the night before she did the next day, in bed, behind her, just before day, I dreamed we went to Heaven, I raw her go in at one of the Southern gates of the city, I was told I could not go in. And the last sight 1 saw of her, she was resting on a red marble block which said was to be tbe emblem of the blood of Jesus. While stand ing at the gate a great concourse of tbe redeemed were passing In all the time. It was one of the most lovely occasions I ever witnessed in life. After my wile died I bad her picture enlarged which is banging in my room, and often on Sun day while all are gone to church I remain at home with it and read my bible, for I am impressed with the idea, she is watching at the gate, where she went in, for me to come. What an awful thought it is tj me to think of missing heaven for I want to meet my wife again, for I know she is there for I saw her go in, and then we will be able to take in Heaven with its grandeur, love and beauty through all eternity. What a happy reuuion it will be when we meet our fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers and friends who are there and help them sing the new song of the blood and the Lamb. D. S. Ball.

Editor Recokd : The people of this vicinity were much dismayed the other day at seeing one of our well-known farmers going to mill for the first time since the Civil war. They think, however, that his going was actuated by the de- air to se the mill, for be gaye a very thrilling account of bia ad' venture. . He says the contrast in the mill and surroundings is very marked to what it us to be. ' In his report of his journey he said that after travelling for more than a mil ou bia- whit mar, he came to the National bridge that esee the Way-yonder , river. which he erossed, and passing by the miller's residence and post offio, be was greeted by the miller and by-standing friends at his destination the grand old Patty Meteer Mill. - His son hop he may hare this pleasure again, -8exton, N.
