TUESDAY SEPT. 8, 1914
Now that the tobacco market has
opened and the anxiety, which was in
evidence prior to its openinghas been
allayed by the prevalence of satisfac
tory prices and sales, the eyes of the
country will be turned to the cotton
situation, and no doubt the plans,
which have been suggested by the va
rious conferences held since the be
ginning of hostilities, will be worked
out and the planter will find it possi
ble to hold his "fleecy" until the sell
ing conditions are propitious.
After all is said and done in the
European war, the critics will, in all
probability, and justly, too, give Bel
gium the full credit for putting a check
on the Kaiser's plan, which has other
wise been uninterferred with Many
believe that Paris would have "been
occupied several days ago if itTiad not
been for that stubborn resistance
at Liege.
H
A TIMELY TOPIC.
Now that the new State law requires
that every birth and death be regis
tered, a great many people want to
know where to have such matters re
corded, and how.
It is very simple. There is one
person, known as the Local Registrar,
appointed in each incorporated town
by the mayor, and in each township ,n
' the county by the chairman of the
board of county Commissioners. This
local, ..registrar, is supplied with all
blank fftrms for recording births and
deaths and reports sll such records
each month to the State Registrar at
Raleigh. - -
In the case of a birth the doctor or
midwife who attends the birth reports
the facts to the local registrar, and
a birth certificate is made out 'giving
the date of birth, sex of the child, and
other statistical particulars regarding
the names and address of the parents,
and so on. Where there is no doctor
or midwife in attendance, the parents
are required to attend to this matter
In the case of a death the doctor
fills out the medical cause of death on
the death certificate furnished by the
undertaker, and the undertaker se
cures the other statistical items, such
as age, date of birth, occupation, and
so on, from any one competent to fur
nish such information. Where there
is no undertaker, the person who sells
the casket at retail is required to place
a blank death certificate and a printed
instruction sheet (both of which are
, furnished , by the State Board of
Health) in each casket. Then the per
son, acting as undertaker is required
to fill out and file the death certificate
with the local registrar.
The ' local registrar therefore be
comes a very important personage in
, every town and township. For this
reason we give below a complete list
of all registrars in Craven county. Be
sure to look up your own local regis
trar.in order to get in touch with him
in case of a birth or death in the
' neighborhood. As every town and
' township in the State wants complete
r registration of every birth and death
. occurring within its borders, it is a
1 "very good idea to keep the local regis
trar posted about all births and deaths
occurring in your neighborhood, in or
der that none may be omitted.

. .;r-,:Siol'P-' v- (
In his cnarge to the Grand Jury yes
terday nidfAfng, Judge Peebles wJio is
presiding over the September term of
Craven county Superior Court, touch
ed on the subject of cruelty to pris
oners by jailers and guards of convict
camps and cited where a decision had
been handed down that a prisoner could
not be whipped for refusing to work.
V His, remarks along this line were
worthy of consideration. Only a few
weeks ago Governor Craig paid a visit
to the western part of the State to in
vestigate cruelty to convicts and made
a thorough search into the affair. '.
Not only is cruelty to the'i convicts
practiced in convict camps but it ex
tends to jails and penitentiaries.' John
F. McCarthy, a bank robber who serv
ed a term in thf North Carolina State
prison few years ago for the robbery
of a bank at Littleton, is writing a series
of articles for thCeYork', World.
McCarthy claims to have been cruelly
treated while in prison and the follow
ing extracts from his story follow; v f

to the prison and had me stripped. My

each of them w;th numerous' forts,
const-tut'ng the second l!ne of de

In 1874 the construction of a cha'o

not qu'te 22 mles n length, and at
a mean d'stance of six miles from the.
center of the city. The hills oh the
Par's side are open and unguarded.
The City is the chief wool market in
France. The manufacture of cham? I
pagne, machinery, chemicals, safes,
capsules, bottles, casks, candles, soap
and paper is carried on extensively
In the foreign invasions of 1814 Reims,
was captured and recaptured. In 1870

COMPIEGNE A French town, 43
miles from the heart of Paris, on the
northern railway between Paris and
St. Quentin, with a population exceed
ing 15,000. Until 1870 it was the
occasional residence of the French
Kings. Boat-building, rope-making,
steam-sawing, distilling and the ma-n
ufacture of chocolate and machinery
are among its industries. At the siege
of Compiegne in 1430 Joan of Arc
was taken prisoner by the English.
In 1814 the town offered a stubborn
resistance to the Prussian troops.
From 1870 to 1871 it was one of the

guard was armed with a strap about
four feet long, three inches wide and
a third of an ich thick. It had a con
venient handle and the end held three
or four steel rivets. With this fright
ful thing prisoners were unmercifully
beaten, often for ridiculously slight
infractions. The prison guards took
intense delight in beating the negro
convicts and even more in the most
flimsy excuses for shooting a "n:gger"
or two.
"As I was struig there to the door
I remembered that just before Fie ning
had beaten a convict. The tortured
man groaned and called on God.
"Don't call on God," said Fleming
''You'd better call on me."
''I remembered it and decided to ask
for no mercy. They began to beat,
Every blow brought the . blood. I
thought the thong was cutting through
my flesh to the bones. My brain,
numb from the frightful pain, tried to
count the lashes as they fell. The num
ber reached twenty-five, the usual dose
,Or was it twenty-four? Another lash .

"Beat hmi till he begs. We'll breajt. afternooll at the regldenCe of Dr.
his nerve," said a voice that I could
just hear. My senses were leaving me.
"They beat on. The wish to cry out,
to beg, to plead for mercy was almost
irresistible, but I colud not breafc.
Something beyond my control made me
silent. Still the blows rained and the
blood ran down my legs. I was so
numb now the lashing hurt less, but I
could feel the trickle of blood. Let
them lash. They'd get tired. It got
gray, then black, then red.
"When I recovered consciousness ,1
was in the hospital on my stomacft
trussed in bandages and being watched
by the prison physician. They had
me uncon9ciou8 and thrown me
