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. 4 v TOWNS. .

LET THE LAW OF RIGHT PRE VAIL.' ', " . .;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 Warden Hemming took me back in to the prison and had me stripped.

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 headquarters of the German Army NOYON A city of northern France 67 miles north of north east of Paris 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 . " ,, ; C 7 .,, u i "A surprise marriage occured Sun "Beat hmi till he begs.

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.
