Day was held Thursday and resulted
in Il verdict that she came to he
death at the hand Of some person un

whom Inspector Brooks caused to b,

was Francis p. Farrell, a young prin

Mrs Cunningham. He never was in

when all the tenants exchanged visits,
and once week later, wher she let

from the back yard. l1e said the key
found on him which fitted the rear

Cunningham, the housekeeper, when
they first moved into the fiat, two years
ago.
He admitted that about a week be-

about the street a crowd gathered
and Farrell caught the canary, much
to little Mamie's disappointment. She
wanted the bird herself. Farrell kept
it week and then gave it to the girl
in her mothers presence.
The bird was in the room after the
murder was discovered. Mrs. Gun
ningham saw it she shrieked historical
~, Take that bird away; take it out
of the house!' Mrs. Cunningham also
said, "If it hadn't been Mamie, 1t
would have been me.
Mrs. Cunningham, the murdered
girls mother, was not at the inquest,
although she is the most important
witness of all. Her physician sent
letter saying that she was seriously Ill.
Joseph Marreno, the Italian boy, who
told the police he had seen Edward
Mccormack strange the Cunningham
girl.bu afterwards retracted his state
ment, was not before the coroner,
either, though he is still held under
charge of perjury. Nor was anything
heard of the other Italian boy, en-
ployed by the police as spy, who told
that Marreno had confessed that he
himself committed the crime. The
case has been allowed to drag until
the valuable first impressions of those
who might have cast some light on 1t

that the testimony before the coroner
was worthless. while considered as di-
rect or as circumstantial evidence.

ETHICS OF PROGRESS.

A conductor of the Southern
Railroad told us that in a recent
conversation with a gentleman from
Rhode Island, the gentleman said
that he was on his first visit to
North Carolina, and that visit had
been to him a revelation. The pos
sibilities, he said, for develop
ment and money mixing in North
Carolina are simply wonderful.
The man showed his faith by his
works, too, for before leaving the
State he bought property.
Now, the above is an object les
son. We have all around Us fields
ripe for development, but have
not the money. The one thing
necessary is to induce the North to
invest money here. The way to
accomplish this is to get the peo-
pie of New England and the
Middle States to come among US
and see for themselves the oppor-
tunities for Investment. These
people have money in abundance,
and they are naturally anxious to
put their money where it will yield
a good per cent.
Why should our people in
Goldsboro not try to get settlers
and investors from the North? In
vite them to come and investigate.
How do they know that we want
them? Have they ever received
invitations?
Why is Georgia the Empire
State of the South, and why is
Atlanta, by common consent, recog-
nized as the most promising city
in the Southern Statess It is
simply because their own citizens
have worked in harmony, invited
strangers among them, treated
them with broad-palmed hospital
ity when they ceme and showed
them that under the genial skies
of Georgia thereis ample room for
thousands to establish peaceful,
prosperous and happy homes.
But while it is true, Georgia is
a great State, every visitor says
that North Carolina is superior to
every other Southern State.
As loyal citi zens let us sing,
without boasting, the praises of
the good old State, thus enriching
ourselves, and showering bless
ings upon thousands who will
leave the rigors of the bleak and
storm ridden North and West to
establish homes in the goodly land
of North Carolina.

Pay of PostoHice Clerks.

Congress will very soon take
action on the bill to reclassify
postofice clerks and it is to be
hoped that. the measure will pass.
The present system is manifestly
unfair and in many instances in
justice to worthy and efficient
clerks is the result.
After the allotments are made
by the various postoffices, the as
Arguments of clerks to salaries are
made by the postmasters under
certain restrictions. 1t necessar-
lily happens as the result of such a
system that their is much unfair
ness and inequality in the matter
of salaries. A clerk performing
certain work in one office at times
receives but one half the salary of
a clerk discharging similar duties
in another city. Two clerks work
side by side in the same Office, do
the same work, and yet one of
them receives twice the compensa-
ton of the other, who is often the
better clerk of the two. One clerk
performs higher grade of work
than another, and still receives u
smaller compensation. The clerk S
salary, poor as it is, is not assured
to him from year to year, so un-
certain is the present system. His
pay his dependent upon the de-
partmental estimate, the appropri-
alton of Congress, the allotment of
the salary and allowance division
and the judgment or caprice of his
postmaster. Individually the clerks
have no standing under existing
legislation. The present law pre-
scribes an artificial, vague, uncer-
tain and meaningless classifca-
ton.
In the pending bill it is proposed
to classify and pay clerks accord
ing to the work which they actually
perform. The designations are
defined; the duties are determined,
and the salaries are fixed. 1t is
certainly a reasonable proposition.
Certainty, equality, fairness and
reality are substituted in this
measure for uncertainty, Unequal
ity, unfairness and artifcialty; and
in order to accomplish these ends
but modest amount will be re-
quired. 1t is estimated that $780,
900, will easily cover the addi-
tional cost for the next fiscal year,
and half that amount will be de-
voted to bringing the minimum
pay of clerks in first-class Offices
up to 5000 small enough salary
from which to expect honest and
efficient service. 1t is proposed to
make an annual increase of 800
till the 5000 limit is reached-cer-
tainly not too much for any man
who is fit to remain in the service
the necessary three years. Pro-
motion is made to depend upon
efficiency and length Of service,
and the higher grades are but rea-
sonably provided for.
The passage of this bill would
undoubtedly improve the post
office service and do an act of9de-
layed justice to a host of, worthy
government employees.
