The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1896-02-27

In the minor offenses Judge Neares
spoke pointedly Of the liquor Law and
the carrying Of concealed weapons.
He said that where bar-keeper sells
two drinks - an adult and The adult
pays for both, drinks one himself and
gives the other drink to a minor. the
bar-keeper i guilty Of violating the
law in simply furnishing the liquor to
the minor Where clerk in q bar
room sells lqu4r on Sunday against
the positive Instructions OF the proprie-
tor, the bar-keeper-the man in whose
name the license was issued-;s guilty
Of violating the law. In short, any at
tempt by liquor dealer to evade the
law makes him guilty.
Judge Meares was severe on the car
rylng Of concealed weapons. As he
took up that subject he said No doubt
there are persons III this court room
now with concealed weapons" And
then he proceeded to define such per
sons. He spoke Of the danger OF drunk
en- men carrying concealed weapons
He continued but there is another
class of persons who carry pistols be

Hrered co,rards, and a coward is Away.
sure to shoot at the wrong time.
He said If man thinks his life il
in danger he is not SO culpable for car
rying a weapon Of defense but ordina
rily no man, white or black, can give
a sensible reason for carrying a con
cealed weapon in this State. | is the

INCREASE OF CRIME.

1T unfortunately appears that there
has recently been an increase Of crime
in your county. All experience has de
monstrated that as long as the impress
sion is made on the minds of evil doors
that they can in some way escape pun
ishment, crime has increased.
1T is only when, by the rigid per
torrance of duty by grand juries and
petit juries, every crime meets with
due punishment that men are deferred
from crime. We haye no other means
save the grand jury by which to get at
the truth, and so you are to be more
than usually active in the discharge OF
your duty-that is what your oath
means"

Nothing Like II Since The Seventies.

The Criminal court was opened in
Halifax Monday promptly a: 4 clock,
Judge Meares OF Wilmington presid-
ing.
There seems to have been more com
mission 81 crime in the county for the
past few months than for many years
before. Jailer Reid said Monday that
there were - prisoners IN Jail, is Of
whom were for trial, and one Of them
white woman and two white men,
and that there has been nothing like it
since the seventies Immediately after
the opening Of the court the grand jury
was called and sworn. The following

JUDGE MARS CHARGE.
Judge Mears at once proceeded to
deliver what was pronounced the best
/ charge that has been heard in the old
court house IN a long time. The seem
| ing increase Of crime in the county
seemed to stimulate him to sharp
and cutting charge. He said in part :
The object Of a criminal court is to
protect society and the individual mem
bcr5 Of society in their rights. These
rights pertain to private persons and
to the public
The public have rights which must
be preserved every individual man in
society has a right to enjoy it. II is a
courts prerogatiYe to guard the lights
to persons and to property and the law
undertakes to secure the enjoyment Of
these rights. When the law effects
this 1t is success but when it falls
short Of it, it is not only a failure, but
the public and individual members OF
society have a right to complain and
hold the officers of the law responsl BILE
"We hear great deal said now about
the failure Of justice in North Carolina
and the United States generally, and
there IS great deal of truth in it
Public attention has not yet been call

The failure originates, as a general rule
with grand juries and petit Juries. YOU

Dickinson Replies to the Structures of
Sanator Vest and Others.
Detroit May 9.-The Evening News to-
day publishes an interview with Don NJ.
Dickinson, replying to the structures Of
Senator Vest and other free silver men
as to the alleged corruption of the late
democratic state convention by office
holders Dickinson denies that Stevenson
(Dickinson's law partner) or anybody else
issued a circular to office holders in con-
nection with the convention.
Through the free silver congressman,
he says, the free silver men were put in
all the offices in their districts and in
both county and state conventions out
numbered the others two to one. Accord
ing to law, he says, the places of dele
gates could not be filled by proxies as
stated by Vest. The is to / men never had
a majority of delegates elected and the
talk of the use of money is pure and
unadulterated SANDER and libel" II any
money was used, says Dickinson. IL was
in behalf of free silver syndicate or
ganiZed and existing outside this state
In conclusion he says: IT am proud to
say the party i'm this state is properly
represented by its delegation in Chicago
and is in favor by an overwhelming ma
jority of maintaining the pledges of con-
gress on this question made whenever
there's has been silver legislation. Since
'13 that policy of this government is to
maintain a parity of the metals. Our
party will not favor reputation in any
form. or take any chances of favoring a
policy that by any possibility would lead
TO reputation. The Chicago convention
will not favor the policy of free coinage
at a ration of 16 to L.

Beef supple. :.

Great Falls, May 1o.-The bids for
supplying beef to the various Indian
agencies were opened at Chicago few
days ago, and among the awards in
which Montana people are interested
are the following:
w. F. Mellick, 100000 pounds, on
hoof, to the Blackfoot agency at 1924
per 100. Mr.. Mellick is a resident of
Idaho, but is interested in cattle on the
Milk river range, and will doubtless fill
the contract from cattle from that sec
ton of Montana.
Paul Mccormick, $4,000 pounds to
the Crow agency, at $3.50 per 100. Mr.
Mccormick resides at Billings and VIII
get his beef cattle from the Yellowstone
country where, 1t is said, he is inter-
ested in the stock business.
c. J. Mcnamara, $4,000 pounds, to
the Fort Belknap agency at S315 per
100. Mac is located at Big Sandy, Cho-
teau county, and has cattle on thou
sand hills" His stock range is about
40 miles east of Benton. He has also
been awarded the contract for furnish
ing Fort Peck agency with 100000
pounds at $3.1219 per 100. 1t is big
deal but Mcnamara has the facilities
for making 1t and will get the cattle to
the agency in good condition.
Jesse Haston, 100000 pounds, to the
Tongue river agency, at $2.76 Haston
resides at Miles City and it is pre-
sumed will get his cattle from the yell
lowstone ranges.
S. F. Gilman was given a contract
for 3,930,000 pounds, for the Pine Ridge
agency, in South Dakota, at $3.1319 and
1850, 900 pounds for the Rosebud agency
at $312h. Mr.. Gilman is now a resi-
dent of Iowa, but was formerly in bus
mess with S. S. Hobson of Utica, Fer
jus county 1t is generally believed he
will buy his cattle from Montana
ranges.
All the above awards were for beef
on the hoof. An award for 10000
pounds of dressed beef was given to
1. p. Baker of Bismarck at 1924 per
100. Mr.. Baker is an old friend and
business associate of Power Bros. of

lieve that a large majority of the aciti-
Gems favor ii. That there is some OPP
position to 1t is only natural. but IL
must be said that the opponents of IL
admit the benefits that would accrue
under Incorporation and an economi-
cally administered city government. IL
we thought that the expense of keep
greater than the benefit derived there
from by the citizens, we would oppose
1t. We do not believe in a number of
high-salaried officials, brick sidewa lks.
a city hall, paved streets. etc, entail
ing a hardship upon the taxpayer.
With the exception of two or three
officers our officials could and would
serve without pay. On our principal
thoroughfare we could build plank
sidewalks. which would last for term
of years. We could see that every
resident cleaned up about his premises
and kept them clean. This latter Is of
the utmost importance. Already we
have experienced the evil effects of the
filthy and unhealthy condition of the
camp. 1t is to improve this condition
of things that we favor Incorporation.
In no other way can we expect to inn
prove the camp. Our county commits
sioners will not approve of expending
a dollar in the camp if they can get
out of II.
"Our police regulations is another
thing that could and would be attend
ed to. At present a lady cannot pass
through our streets, either day or
night without hearing oaths and bias
phemy, and rows and drunken men are
to be seen at almost any hour.
There is not a town in the West
that needs so much and has so little
as the town of Belt. What we need
we must secure through our own eff
forts and we cannot expect to secure
them without some cost to ourselves.
In order to run a municipal govern
ment here, 1t is roughly estimated
would cost from $4,000 to $4,000, may
be less. With the number of business
houses we have and the fines, ETC.,
collected each month we would derive
the greater part of this sum, leaving
a very small portion to be collected by
city tax levy on real and personal
property. This small expense we be-
lieve a large majority of our citizens
are willing to bear in order to see our
camp advance and improve"
