CARRIED THE COURT.

The Nears &. Obserrer of 10th re-
ported an interesting incident that oc-
CURED in the Supreme Court Dir. 7.
W. Beckett of Lousburg made his first
appearance before the Supreme Court.
The incident as detailed by the Neus
d Obserrer is as follows:
"Mr. Blcket represented the plain
tiff who was seeking to recover on three
notes. The defendant had pleaded the
statute OF limitation. The pl sintIff re-
he'd on a payment made by the defen-
dant. which he claimed as the defen-
dant had not directed the application
he had the right to split up and apply
ratably on each of the notes. Mr..
Blcket closed his argument as follows
In the eye of the law, the debts are
all on the same footing. and the logic
OF the thing demands, the justice Of it
requires, that where there Is a differ
ence there shall be no distinction. and
the only thing that can be done Is to
divide the payment and distribute it
ratably among the several claims,
thereby giving judicial sanction to the
slogan of the American politician. equal
and exact justice to all, and special
rjyjlpopS To nona -
The last sentence came as climax
and the judges of the Supreme Court
tried to look solemn, but the force OF
the classic al1usion was stronger than
their power Of self-restralnt and they
manifested, like ordinary mortaIs, their
appreciation of the OCCASION"

Noises at night are always exagerat
ed, but none the less alarming. When
one Is suddenly awakened, the senses
do not readily adjust themselves to the
situation, and people of nervous temp
erament are liable to be undulv terri
fed. Not every one would act as de-
liberately as did a Hartford lady who
was recently aroused by strange sounds
coming from the room in which her
five-year-old boy was sleeping. Her
husband being absent, there was no
other person in the house but the hired
girl. Summoning ali her courage, she
slid out of the bed, crept across the
floor, and found her child suffering
from an attack of Group. She imme-
dlately turned up the gas, and, being
one of those wise parents who are al
ways provided against emergencies, ad-
mlnlstered to the little fellow dose OF

there are young children, should be

STOP THE FLOW or BLOOD.

It Is sad reflection that the flow q
human blood has been greater IN East
ern Carolina during the past three
months than for the same period 81
time for many years.
It's unpleasant to as to have torevlew
it, as well as humiliating to,the good
people OF this rich and inviting sec
ton OF North Carolina but We might
as well look at the matter squarely and
realize the situation If possible.
Within the past three months there
have been two murders in Beaufort
county, two homicides IL Edgecombe
county, four in Halifax county, one in
Craven, one in Washington, and per
haps others.
1t is an oft-repeated question, Nv hat
has come over the people to lnclte
them to so much blood shed :"
The public are beginning 70 feel that
human life is too cheap and ought to be
held more dear. And il is frequently
remarked that society can not tolerate
this state Of affairs much longer. The
pubic are Just naturally inclined &c
feel like there IS something wrong with
the laws and their execution but We
have the same laws and system OF court
trials that we have had for a long pc
Rod of years, except the dividing q
murder into first and second degrees by
a statute somewhat recently enacted.
We are inclined 10 think that it /,
merely a coincidence that so many
homicldes have occurred in this par
of the State recently. Indeed Eastern
Carolina generally has been as free i
not freer. from the shedding of human
blood than any other part OF the State
Let US hope that the climax Of these
outrages upon society has been reach
ed, and that we shall hear no more Of
violence and blood-shed.
We believe that III most cases justice
may be had before the courts, and with
1t we need not fear any widespread
crime Of the kind for when eyil-doer,
are properly punished it will deter 9th
ers from crime But when there !:
much miscarriage Of justice disastrous
results may be expected.

said that this crime is the most helm
Gus in the eyes of the law There can
be no murder he said, without malice,
but 1t is not necessary for it to be ex-
prescott may be implied. When
eyer the killing Of a human being takes
place and 1t is not satisfactorily explain
ed, the law implies malice. Whenever
the State axes the killing on a person
the burden of proof no longer rests on
the State, but it devolves ON the prison
er to show justifiable homicide Here
the Court defined murder IN the first
and second degree by the statute.
"Generally," said Judge Meares. lit

that when it is murder at all, it is muir

1t was explained IN the charge how

or the negligence of the captain OF a

persons are killed.
Justifiable homicide was explained
as where an officer in the DISCHARGE of
his duty finds it necessary to kill pris

from escaping when charged With high
crime. But" said Judge Meares, ut
is probable that in some parts OF the
State officers are not too anxious to
discharge their duty, but fail to do it
