IS THE TROUBLE WITH THE LAW?

IS THE TROUBLE WITH THE LAW?
Since the verdict in the Shemwell
trial number of newspapers have
started afresh to abuse our jury sys-
tenn. We call upon these papers to
state wherein the law is wrong or
can be improved. The law is right.
The trouble is in the administration
OF the law. If the county commits
sloners would do their duty and
carry out the plain letter of the law
with reference to the jury-boxes,
and If the judges would Especially
In important cases. require the
special juries to be drawn from the
box instead of being summoned at
random by the sheriff, and at the
same time see that no intelligent
man, of good character, is adjudged
to be disqualified to sit IS juror
because he has formed an opinion
then the law will be executed so as
to produce the results intended bv
the law. A man who is not well
enough Informed to have heard Of
an important case for trial in his
county, and a man whose mind is 50
weak or inactive that he failed to
form some kind of an opinion is not
tit to sit on jury. As a rule the
men who are informed and who have
formed opinions on the evidence as
far as they have heard, are the very
best men to sit on jury.
Let the press lay the blame where
it belongs and thus help to improve
the execution of the law,

The lawyers Of the State and the
people generally will be interested in
any article published elsewhere in
this issue headed "Blackstone Not
Eliminated" The article corrects
an error of the News & Observer
and puts the matter before the pub
lie in its true light. The standard
of the legal profession has not been
lowered by our Supreme court and
Blackstone is taught by our law
schools as it should be.

State platforms having financial
planks, twenty one of them declared
for silver. But there's no free silver,

The assessed valuation of railroads
for 1895 is $52a, 1867, o6 more for 1895
than it was for 1894. There's moth

department of State government to
bring matters up properly. See!

The associated banks of New York

statement that there is not enough

Well what is this money doing

But even in this cry for mercy
there is the sneaking knavery and
diabolical hypocrisy from which
Democracy cannot disassociate
itself. For let it be seen-let it
be proclaimed that this champion
thunders forth against exc1usive
privileges. An exclusive privilege
can be granted to only one person OF
corporation. SPECIAL privileges may
be granted to many different people.
And if the plea of this champion
should be heard, and there should
be no change in existing systems,
the same champion would explain
that no one person or corporation
had an exclusive privilege in any.
thing, even though special privileges
might be extended to many.

Hon. Mr.. Hoax-Mytb, after
"changing his mind" has begun
stumping the State of Georgia for
the goldbugs. He tells the people
they ought to stand by Cleveland
because he appointed Southern
men to big offices. Great Scott!
What do the people care about few
appointments that only make soft
places for a fen men? What the
people want is good government and
a prosperous country-not a few old
mossbacks in office. We wonder if
these fellows ever will learn that the
people are not fools.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-08-01

The term "Democrat" goes into
the classic category of tn. famous
''Raw Head and Bloody b ones" In
Wilson county unruly youngsters
are told by good mothers that a
Democrat will get them if they dor't
be good. That reduces all sorts of
juvenile rebellion to the docility of
a lamb and tie dumbness of an
OYSTER.

Georgia had pretty tough dose
of mixed Democracy recently. The
great Hoax Myth made a loud,
Democratic gold bug speech writ
ten by Carlisle) at Gainesville, and
during the same week Senator Nor
gan made so-called Democratic
silver speech at Griffin. Both of
them ranted around about the Dem
ocratic party being the 'sparty of
the people," both of them had I'M
dying faith in it and while both
were fighting and talking for widely
different principles, both of them
proclaimed they were Democrats.
Hully Gee!! What is a Democrat?

this declaration was "a much reviled

The air Of a meeting room, tested in

showed numbers of heterogeneous
varying from 1876. 900 20 8. 500. 600. The
air near the ground contained fewer

pie, the air some four feet from the
ground contained $40. 600 before the

amount at the beginning of the meeting
was 5000. 600, and at the end of the
meeting this had been increased TO

Air near burning jet of gas showed
the largest figures of all. Thus. in the
immediate vicinity of bunsen fame the
gigantic number of 80, 900, 600 was
found in a cubic centimeter, or 49,

own words: 1T does seem strange that
there may be as many dust particles in
one cubic inch of air of room at night
when the gas is burning as there are
inhabitants in Great Britain, and that
in three cubic inches of gases from a
bunsen fame there are as many parti-
Giles as there are inhabitants of the

Possibly tests on the air of smoking
rooms would reveal still greater num-

An Old brakeman Tells Of Queer Rail-

1.-THE most remarkable wreck / was

and Boards some years ago. It was a
freight wreck. l had charge of the La
Grange accommodation and was bound

hard upon the trail of train No. SO. also
bound for Louisville Train No. IA was
coming in our direction. 1t had been
delayed some minutes at Pewee, but ex-
pected to make up the time and side
track between Pewee and Boards on
schedule time. so that train No SO
would have the right of way.
1.-The delay was what caused the
trouble The side track am telling You
about was Just behind and under hill.
Train No. IA had just backed on to the
side track, and before the switchman
could shift the switch train No. 80

gineer saw the danger. he turned down

as If they had been peas in pod. The
shock of the two trains meeting was. of
course, terrific. The whole of train No.

OF the track. Remarkable as it may
seem, only the cars of No. IL were
thrown of the track.
when the two trains struck, the en-
gineer Of IA had his hand ON the throt-
tie, about to stop his train. The shock
threw him out of the cab, and the wrench
threw open tho throttle again and re-
versed the engine. When the cars had
been stripped off the track, the locomo-
tive went wild down the track toward
La Grange. We of the La Grange accom-
mediation had by this time neared the

cinnati, and it was there that she spent
several years of her girlhood and part
of her married life, and collected the
material for her great story. After
her marriage her husband, Prof. Calvin
E. Stowe, became president of Bow
dom college and then they removed to
Maine. Her sympathy for the slave
mothers of the south was kindled by
her own bereavement in the death of
her child, and it was then the inspira-
ton came to her to do something to
aid them and the plans for her book
began shaping themselves in her mind.
Her mental as well as her physical
strength is falling. and many pathetic
stories are told of the childlike life she
leads at Hartford. her present home.
