City Solicitor Ed. L. Smith: 'T
certainly approve Of the position which
the president took in his message last
December, in which he declared in
favor of free access of the products of
Porto Rico to our markets. disapprove
as announced"
Hon. Ed. S. Raff: IT certainly ap-
prove of the statement made by the
president in his message of last Decem-
Der, and disapprove of q levying of a
tax upon Porto Rico at this time"
Squire Jacob II. Rsigner: II am
opposed to any such schemes as levy
ing tax upon Porto Rico, because
Porto Rico is considered now in the
same light as though 1t is annexed The
tariff as proposed would be an imposi-
ton. 1 approve of the recommenda-
tion as made by the president in his
message last December. We cannot
constitutionally have a tariff between
states in this country, and the same law
is applicable to Porto Rico"
James Sterling, Esq: Most certainly

as it has become part of this country
and we have neither the constitution
al or moral right to levy any tax against
them, no more so than levy tax upon
any one state"
Attorney c. Turin Meyer: "I
certainly approve of McKinley's posi-
tion of last December as announced in
his message. 1 claim that the constitu-
tion pervades every foot of our territory
and that they have no moral or con-
stitutional right to levy a tax upon
Porto Rico which is under our jurisdic-
tion; and if this is done, the supreme
court ought to declare such to be un-
constitutional"
Attorney John c. Givin: wherever
the jurisdiction of the United States ex-
tends, there the constitution of the
United States should be applied in the
same manner as the law between our
states. 1 therefore disapprove of
tariff being imposed upon Porto Rico,
for the same reason, that the con-
stitution should apply there in the same
manner as it applies among our states"
Attorney Milton j. Braucher: "Under
the existing conditions where we have
assumed control of those islands, and
they are to be part OF the United
States, they should be recognized as un-

are entitled to-"
Hon. Robert S. Shields: GAS to the
presidents policy as recommended in
his message of last December, L shall
say, yes. AS to the imposition of a
tariff upon Porto Rico, will say, no; as
I disapprove of such tariff upon that
country"
Judge j. w. Albaugh: "I most de-

states should apply to Porto Rico, and
I therefore disapprove by all means Of
the imposition of a tariff upon that
country"

Negroes Burned to Death.

News reaches here of horrible tragedy
near Fayetteville, in which two women
were burned to death. The Fayetteville
Observer says:
'It happened at the home of Allen
Fuller, a highly respected colored man,
and resulted in the death of his wife and
daughter-in-law. The younger woman,
discovered pile of shucks in an clubhouse
on fire, ran to put it out, and, in doing
so, her clothing caught fire. The mother,
attracted by her screams, ran to her
aid. The young woman, now one mass
Of flames, threw her arms around her
mother in her death agony, and, despite
the furious struggles of the old woman,
both persisted on the spot. The physician,
who examined the bodies. says that life
was literally squeezed out of the old wo-
man, and that she was probably dead be-
fore the flames harmed her

GEORGE GooCH GETS BAIL.
One of His Attorneys Tells How the Tragedy
Occurred.

The young man George Gooch who shot
and killed his father last Tuesday morn
ing in this county, has been released on
q $500 bond.
AT noon yesterday, when arraigned for
preliminary trial before Magistrate H. II.
Roberts, he entered plea of not guilty,
through his attorneys, who stated further
that they believed the defendant guilty
OF no offence but that he preferred to go
to court and get discharge from a jury;
that since final jurisdiction was not lodg-
ed in magistrate the defendant would
waive preliminary examination AMI ask
that he be allowed to give bond for his
appearance at court.
The magistrate said that since no ele-
ment of felony entered into the case this
course would be allowed. He amended
the warrant so as to charge only man
slaughter. and the bond was fixed at $500
1t was signed by Mr.. w. B. Wilder and
Gooch was released.
Young Gooch was represented by Col.
Thos M. Argo and Mr.. s. G. Ryan. Mrs.
Gooch and her daughter were present at
the trial and sat by the young man. Both
were dressed in black.
After the trial one Of the attorneys in
the case expressed the opinion that the
bill against the boy would be ignored by
the grand jury. and the case would never
come to trial. Asked as to the circum
stances of the killing he said:
THE boy heard the noise in the house
made by his fathers attack on Mrs
Gooch. He rushed in and found his father
with the gun raised and about to shoot
her. The boy knocked up the gun ara
undertook TO take it away. Then the
father was shot. Just exactly how it
happened will probably never be known.
The boy even is uncertain as to how it
happened and his mother, who was dazed
and frightened can give no ineligible
account Of =.
1T is simply case in which a boy
prevents his father killing his mother,
and in the attempt to prevent it kills
the father.
THE gun was a short one, and the ex
element of the moment was great, and
neither the boy nor anyone else knows
exactly how the gun was discharged. 1t
may have been Jubal Gooch's own hand
that pulled the trigger"
The case will come before the grand
jury at the next term of court.
Commenting on this deplorable tragedy,
the Monroe Enquirer has this to say:
THAT story of the killing of father
by his own son in Wake county, last
Tuesday. report of which is given in an
other column. is sad indeed. But horrible
as such a deed is. the boy who lifts his
hand in defense of his mother is usually
acquitted when he comes to trial, and

Extra strain needs extra strength.
When man begins to add to his hours
of labor, and subtract from his hours
of rest, he is putting an extra strain on
brain and body. III such cases many
men make the serious mistake of using
stimulating liquors, or alcoholic medi-
cines. These can only injure. The spur
forces on the horse, but does not
strengthen him. Stinlulants are only
spurs. The need of the body is
strength. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical

prominent member of the Federal
court grand jury was asked yesterday
why they found true bill against the
penitentiary officials, charging them with
permitting the escape of prisoners.
I'VE didn't do it," he replied. THE
District Attorney did it. He came into
the grand jury room and questioned the
witnesses"
why didn't you drive him out?''
I'VE did at first, but the judge sent for
us and told us he must be allowed in the
jury room and might examine witnesses.
HE brought the penitentiary matter
before the grand jury and conducted it
TO a conclusion
The friends of Mr. Arendell and Mr..
Green express much surprise that true
bill was found, and both of these officers
maintain that the evidence is such that no
fair-minded jury will ever convict on it.
Mr.. Arendell, who has been quite un-
well for sometime, left yesterday for
Seven Springs to spend a week or two
for his health. Some remarkable cures
of stomach and rheumatic troubles has
recently been made by this water, and
Mr. Arendell thinks that short stay
there will restore his former good health.
Tt was stated yesterday that the suit
recently brought in the Superior court
here by M. T. Leach against w. Fl. Os-
born would probably be withdrawn, some
understanding in regard to the trouble
having been reached
The suit, it will be remembered, was
instituted by Mr.. Leach to recover dam
ages for an alleged breach of contract by
Mr.. Osborn, while director of the peni-
Tertiary, in regard to the purchase of
mules for that institution.
No complain has ever been filed in the
case, only the summons having been is
sued and the case docketed. Mr.. Arm
istead Jones is Mr.. Leach's attorney.
The law suits that have arisen out of
the management of the penitentiary, to-
gether with failure of it's superintend-
ent to furnish reports as requested by
tho board, are causing much dissatisfac-
tion on the part of the directors.
One of them said yesterday that he
would next week send in his resignation
and added:
II know absolutely nothing about the
financial condition of the institution, and
I've been unable to learn anything. I've
asked why Capt. Day doesn't furnish re-
ports as required by resolution of the
board. My letters have not even been an
