LGNCHINGS.

The people may stand aghast at the
alarming increase in lynchlng, the
pulpit may lnveigh against the ad min
lstration of justice by mob, the gov
ernoi may place the seal Of MS dlsap-
proval on trials where the judge, jury
and officers wear masks; the editors Of
the State may send out weekly the
most carefully prepared articles on the
dignity of the law, and still it Will all
come to naught if we do not change
the laws as it is written and place the
state on exactly the same footing as
the defendants. II is almost an i'm
possibility to convict man on cir
Cumstantlal evidence in this State if
the defendant is represented by a law
yer Of resources, and it makes no diff
ference how strong and unbroken the
chain Of evidence is, the result is the
same. Under the present plan man
who is in any moderate degree &C
quainted with human nature and
men, and their methods Of thought
and reasoning, can select jury from
panel of 100 men, and do il legi,i-
mately, who would never convict a
man on circumstantial evidence The
law ought to be amended. This con-
Ciusion is reached after an experience
OF fifteen years at the bar, in which
time have seen at least Thirty men
tried for their lives. ''-Lawyer in Meas

LIKES NORTH CAROLINA.

Ex-Gov. K. b. Sherman, OF I,~a,
recently visited the various places Of
interest in North Carolina. TO ala in
teryiewer at Raleigh he said:
81 Ike North Carolina. 1t j, good
State-a very fine State. It's soil
seems to be good and It's natural re-
sources are certainly wonderful. Since
| have been in her borders | have seen
some magnificent farms. | think, how
ever If you will allow stranger TO
make a suggestion, that your State au-
thorities have made mistake in not
doing more to properly advertise your
State. The outside world has no idea
of the grand State you have here. You
should send ont more literature and
advertising matter and be represented
in all the great eXpOsitlons.
"As to your cltIes-Raleigh and
Asheville, the only TWO have stopped
in-I am most agreeably disappointed.
They are beautiful cities, we'll built =,
orderly and much larger than had
been led to believe. Raleigh, espe-
CIally seems to be most pleasant city.
| have been struck with the number
Of fine residences both here and in

WHERE THE LINE SHOULD BIZ.
DRAWN

If the present legislature should take
from those now in control the peniten-
tlary, the State schools, the agriculture
al department, and every other insti-
tuition supported in whole or in part
from the State treasury, save and ex-
cept the lunatlc asylums and the ref
uges for the deaf, dumb and blind,
the people Of North Carolina might
retain their Self-respect and tolerate
the damage that might be done to
these institutions. But if these politi-
cal vandals, to satisfy their insatia,e
greed for Office, put their blighting
hands upon those unfortunate ones, in
order that some political heller may
hold job, every North Carroll
man worthy the name Will rise in
ind gnant protest and drive the gang
from power that would thus make hu-
man heart blood pay tribute to their
political avariCe. North Carolina has
lost her sympathy for her stricken
children, if she has put a pebald po-
lltlCal crowd in control, and she will
show it when the lust for office is push
ed too iar.-Ashevllle Citizen.

HOW WECAN HELP INDIA.

There have been expressions viii
lIngness in Iowa and other Western
States to contribute food supplies to
the famine stricken sufferers of India.
These same generous Western people
sent traInlOadS of wheat and corn and
-four TO the relief of the Russian peas
ants some four years ago. The idea
of sending relief to India IS practical
in every way. On account of their re-
ligious scrupIes the people OF India
would not touch any canned meats or
supplies of that character; and the one
way in which America could best help
India would be to send grain. Indian
corn brings the farmer only eight or
ten cents bushel this year IN Iowa,
Nebraska, and theIeab0ut, and it would
be the best possible food 10 send to
India The railroads, doubtless, would
be willing TO carry II 70 the seaboard
al the lowest possible charge for trans
por,atlon, and the British government
might well put some OF lis transport
ships at the service Of American relief
committees for the purpose of taking
out the grain to India. The Russian
people hold America IN the kindest re-
gard for the relief rendered at the
time of their great fannie Nothing
makes more certainly for the removal
of prejudice and the growth of kindly
feeling between nations than help rem
dered at such times of appalling dis
tress. In no other way can the desire
of Americans TO contribute toward the
Indian famine relief fund accomplish
anything like SO much as by the plan
of securing great quantities of Indian
corn in the Mississippi Valley States
and organizing transportation facilities
in some such fashion as may be sug-
gested by the experience of four years
ago, when relief ships sailing from
Philadelphia carried food to Russia

AM0ROSO'S RAZORI0.
Social Meeting of Two Italians
After Sunday Evening Church.

Oehilto AMBROSE. a son of sunny Italy,
was tried in the General Sessions Court
today for carving Frank Jorio. another
son of hat sunny cline, with a razor.
Jorio had been to church on the evening
of May 20, and after the services he visit
ed some beer saloons and met Amoroso
and some friends, Amoroso threw water
or something on Jorio and the latter re-
scented it.
Jorio was at a great disadvantage, as
he had forgotten TO take any deadly
Weapon with him when he started to go
TO church, while AMBROSE had taken the
preeaution to put his razor in his pocket.
When. therefore, Jorio undertook 10 re-
sent the insult that had been put upon
hin by AMBROSE his only available weap-
ons We're paving stones. He hurled two
OF these at Amoroso, but missed him.
Then Amoroso drew his razor and made
