PLOWING BY ELECTRICITY.

Editor w. P. Marshall of the GastO-
MIA Gazette, at the Press Banquet in
Greensboro, in hopefully prophetic
strains, predicted that IN the future we
shall see new things under the sun.
He predicted that IN the near future
North Carolina people will see wind
mills generating electricity for farming
operations, and that all night electric
plows will turn burrows under the glare
of electric lights.
The Clinton Democrat, commenting
on this, says:
Farmers have more reason to be
proud of this prospect than their horses
have. 1t will lift great burden from
both. Horny hands VIII become things
of the past; 50 Will trace chains, and
the third party 1t will be an era of
good feeling ard will effectually settle
the question Of metals, coinage and ra-
tics, if not settled before Its arrival.

SURRENDERS AFTER 24 YEARS.

SUFFOLK, VA, July 25.-William J.
Urquehart, accused of numbering John
E. Gay, on November Sth, 1870, and

had preliminary hearing before May
or Brewer. The mayor, after hearing
evidence and strong pleas by counsel.
sent Urquehart on to the grand jury
and committed him without bail.
Gay was found murdered near his
home on the above date with pistol
shot wound in his breast. Uquehart

He has confessed the murder but

JURY REFORM.

In our last weeks issue we reprinted
an editorial from the NeWs e. Observer
Offering some suggestions concerning
trial by Jury. The article was called
forth by the Shemwell verdict at Lex
lngton. This week we print MIR. Ihos.
II. Sutton's reply to the Ne~s q o.
serrer's article.
THE DEMOCRAT offers no opinion as
to the Shemwell verdict, for we did not
read the evidence carefully; but we do
have an opinion concerning certain
things connected with jury trials.
We offer no criticisms to trial by
Jury if the proper jury be selected but
It is sad fact that too often the proper
Jury is not selected.
It cannot be denied that in many
cases that come before the courts more
depends upon the selection of the jury
than any thing else. Some lawyers
seem to have special tact in selecting
iuries And in many cases the object
aimed at is not that the truth shall be
established and the guilty punished
and the innocent set free but to &C
quit the accused, guilty or innocent.
And too often jurors are selected
with this special object in view.
1t is not always compliment to
man that he is allowed to sit as juro
in certain cases. Jurors are often sc
lected because they are considered soft
head and easily swayed by argumen
or because, forsooth, possibly they ma.
have a special liking for some one WIZ
takes part in the case.
The trial by jury is all right if W
can always get an albright jury.

Recently County Examiner G. E.
Butler held an examination of appli-
cants for teachers certificates. On
many occasions Mr.. Butler has receiv-
ed some answers that surprised him, to
questions asked, but one applicant at
the last examination is by unanimous
consent entitled to the cake. In the
United States history examination the
names of twelve of Americas greatest
men, living Or dead, were required to
be gwen. Following are the names,
just as they were given by one appli-
cant. In all seriousness "Jas. Madi-
son, Horras Greedy, Andrew Jackson
Pearson, the Evangelist Rev. w. B.
Oliver, DIR. kingsberry, Hou. B. F.
Grady, DR.. Pritchard, Prof. Wills, A. NJ

Howard, r. w. Kerr, Rev. j. L. Stew
art" Some of these names have IA
miliar sound in Sampson. At another
examination recently held, similar
question was asked and one applicant
began with Gen. Weaver, including
Marion Butler, Cy Thompson, J. E.
Fowler, and coming on down to his
township constable of the same politics
which indicates that the applicant
must have been Populist, and some
thing OF partisan at that. 1t civil
service had been applied to school

DECISIVE AND JUST.
Ex-Secretary Whitney's Opinion of
the Ultimatum.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Dec. 1S.-William
G. Whitney has expressed himself emphat-
ically in regard to President Cleveland s
message. He says:
ut is simply renewed affirmation of
the Monroe doctrine. 1t expresses the
meaning and purposes of that doctrine.
Mr.. Cleveland's expression of it is clear,
concise and not by any means overstated
or intemperate.
Its does not matter on what pretext
England is seeking to extend its system
of government on this continent. If she
seeks in any way to extend her territory
against the will OF Venezuela she comes
into conflict with the Monroe doctrine
And since we say, in obedience to that doc
trine, she shall not extend her system of
government on this continent it is
for us to decide whether or not
she is doing SO, either by just
arbitration or through our own inves-
tigation. 1t is certainly not for England
to decide for US whether she violates the
Monroe doctrine or not. That we must de-
eide for ourselves.
II do not consider Mr.. Cleveland's s mes
sage in any sense a jingo document. It is
strong and decided, as it should be.
.'I don't think we need worry about
war. War is a long way off. The simple
fact is that we cannot abandon the Monroe
doctrine, and that we must make clear our
intention to stick to it whenever foreign
power shows an inclination to forget it's
existence and vitality. Mr.. Cleveland
states our side of the case very clearly.
We keep our hands out of Europe and
European rows on condition that Europe
shall keep her hands off this continent
Without the Monroe doctrine there would
be nothing to keep European powers from
dividing up South America as they have
divided up Africa. They would so divide

Chandler's Bill for the Purchase of
Armament.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. 1S.-Numer-
Gus conferences have been held by the SEN
ators, and it appears that unanimous ap-
preparation will be speedily made to enable
the administration to equip the army, if
necessary. 1t was with this idea in view
that Chandler this morning introduced a
bill, which was referred to the Committee
on Military Affairs, providing that the
President be authorized to strengthen the
military armament by adding thereto
equipped for use, 100000 infantry rifles,
1000 guns for field artillery and not exceed
ing 5000 heavy guns for Notifications, pro-
cured by manufacture IN arsenals or by
contract for manufacture or by direct pur-
chase in this country or elsewhere, accord
ing to the discretion of the President, who
shall conform, when practicable, without
unwise delay, to the methods prescribed
for making contracts and purchases by ex
listing laws. A hundred million dollars is
appropriated to carry into effect the provi
sions of the act.
Grout (R.l of Vermont offered in the
House bill of the same purport as Chand-
ler's. 1t appropriates 100000, 900, to be-
come Immediately available, for the con-
struction of Notifications and other works
of defense on the seacoasts and along the
Canadian frontier and for their armament

MANDERSON PLEASED.
Patriotism Aroused Will Work for
the COuntry's Good.

OMAHA, NEBR., Dec. 18.-The World
Herald CD, commenting on the Presi-
dents message, says: "It cannot be said
that the World Herald has any partiality
toward Grover Cleveland. In the main
his acts as President have been subjected
to the keenest criticism by this paper.
But we desire to say that his message of
YESTERDAY was one of the best and the
strongest state papers that was ever
issued in this country under the circum-
stances and that he twisted the tail of the
British lion 'to the Queens .taste.'"
The Bee says: at is for Congress to say
whether it be wise to adopt the extreme
measure suggested by the President and
whether the Nation is prepared to thus in-
vite conflict with Great Britain. The
dominant spirit in Congress, as shown by
the applause which greeted the message,
is in favor of firm stand for upholdlng
the Monroe doctrine, but calm delib-
Grafton may lead to the conclusion that
the country is not ready to force hostili-
ties with Great Britain, the consequences
of which would De calamitous to both
nations. 1t is most critical situation,
calling for the ezorcise on the part Of the
