COST OF PUBLIC PRINTING.
The new System has Cost $14,824. 10
More Than the Old

More Imam the Ola.
In our comments TINS morning on the
statement of Auditor Furman in refer
ence to the comparative cost of the pub
lie printing for twenty months under the
old system and twenty months under the
present contract, we stated that the saw
ing to the State under the old method
was the sum OF 81, 446. 41-S3, ISL. so for
printing and $3,3644S for paper" The
figures as stated in the published letter
of Auditor F'lrman were correct, and
are IN favor, for the last twenty months,
of the old system, by $14 ,824.70, OF which
amount 81, 1898 was on cost of paper
and $10,071.37 ON the cost of the print
ing. This sum would pay the salary
OF a superintendent OF printing for 10
years, if he only succeeded in keeping the
cost down to what Ut formerly was but
he would have undoubtedly reduced the
cost several thousand dollars below the
old method and thus increased the a.
mount largely in favor Of a superinten-
dent to contract for the work as needed.
We are informed THAT the present
State printers conceived the bright idea
that it was the duty of the State 10 fur

THE MISCARRIAGE or JUSTICE.
Three Bills now in the Legislature to
Prevent It.

Three Bills now in the Legislature to
Prevent 1t.
At the mass meeting of the citizens
of Durham held recently I'M reference to
the miscarriage of justice in the case
of Beuben Barbee, who was acquitted of
the charge of murder, a committee was
appointed to draft a bill aiming to rene
dy the defects in the administration of
the law in capital cases.
The committee drafted and caused TO
be introduced into the legislature three
separate bills:
The first provides that all jurors ln
criminal cases shall be drawn from the
box, the same as regular jurors.
The second bill authorizes the county
commissioners TO employ local counsel to
aid the solicitor for the State IN all CAPT
tad cases.
The third bill provides that the State
and the defendant in capital cases be
placed upon an equal footing in refer
ence to the number of peremptory chal-
lenges and that the number be limited to
ten each.
These bills were introduced IN the
Senate Monday and referred to the Judi
ciary committee.
Yesterday afternoon, Messrs. @. G.
Taylor, JAS II. Southgate, Jr., Jerome
Dowd and Caleb B. Green, of the com
mittee appointed by the citizens of Dur
ham, appeared before the Judiciary com.
mittee in behalf of the bills above re-
feTred TO.
After considering the details of the
bills the committee recommended the
passage of the first tw obills by a unani-
NOUS vote. AS to the third bin the com
mittee was divided in opinion regarding
its endorsement, the majority of them
being OF the opinion that 1T was not nee
essary, the other two bills having suf-
ficiently covered the ground
A minority report will probably be re-
ported on the third bill In the opinion
OF the delegation from Durham, the last
bill is as important, if not more so than
the others, and they hope to see it pass
after it has been more fully considered.
The report of the Attorney General
for 1S94'96 recommends this measure as
necessary remedy against the miscar-
riage OF justice.
