PRAISE FOR JUDGE SHAW.

Judge Shaw does not believe in
letting law breakers go upon pay
ment of costs He thinks the stat
utes in such eases made and pro-
vided were intended to be more far
reaching than merely taxin" the
guilty party with court costs-the fee
of the solicitor. witness tickets, etc.
He believes in enforcing 4 fine now
and then also-it the case warrants
it. And he is right. The practice OF
letting parties Off with payment of
costs only is entirely too prevalent.
We copy the following from the Mon
roe Journal:
There is much favorable comment
on the workings of the term of court
held here last week. OF course Sole,
itor J. l.. Webb gave satisfaction.
He has always done so and our PEG.
pie know him. Judge Shaw who
presided was prompt and resolute in
the discharge of duty and before the
end of the week his name became s
terror to those who dreaded Justice
One thing noticeable in Judge Shaw's
court was that the bunco game oil
submitting. paying costs and dodg.
ing justice, didn't work. Fines were
imposed and collected, the sum oil
| 1850 in fines being turned over tc
Treasurer McNeely. Mr.. Mcneil
says that in the twelve years that he
has been treasurer, or from Decem-
Der LIST, 1888. to, and including Aug.
| ust, 1900, that the sum total of al
the fines of all the courts during that
time has only amounted to 81 ,O16.33
1t would be better for our county,
better fol the preservation of law and
better for securing the ends of Justice
if we had more men of Judge Shaw
stamp wearing the judicial cloth.
Commenting on the above the
Greensboro Telegram says this:
We submit. as subject for serious
| thought, that the administration OF
| justice in North Carolina has become
too slack. 1t is not so much a lean
| ing to the side of mercy as it is re-
suit Of the skillful manipulations OF
our friends. the lawyers. Now, the
country recognizes that it is his bust.
ness to get his clients off if possible
The burden is, therefore. upon the
court to see that he does not get of
with less than Justice. OF course
this is not meant that a Judge should
do more than exercise vigilance in
seeing that the DEGREES of the iur,
are carried out Justly in cases in
which the jury has spoken. In the
great majority of cases in which seri
! Gus misdemeanors escape justice. i,
is the laNitv of the court that allows
it
We score one for Judge Shaw. and
bid him keep up in well doing.
Judge Shaw Is brother of Rev. A.
K Shaw, pastor OF the Henderson
Presbyterian church. Mr.. Shaw wa,
educated for the bar but entered the
ministry instead. His distinguished
brother we are told is as good a law.
Yer AS he is 4 preacher.

A VOICE FROM VIRGINIA.

Mr.. George M. Manning writes from
Newport News, Va, concerning the
Senatorial question in this State, as
follows:
While there are other good men to
be sure who would fill the place with
distinguished credit, had thought
the whole State (the true white men)
would be for Simmons. But we all
do not think alike and we should have
no quarrel with the man who honestly
differs with US. | am sorry to see
what appears to be dirty and unfair
means are being resorted to to lnJure
the man. All honor to Simmons, and
NAV he win by majority large
enough to admit Of no question as to
the place be occupies in the hearts OF
a grateful and appreciative people
Through the kindness Of our mutual
friend Woodson, read the waste
basket" Of the Hcrald Office, and get
North Carolina papers, thus keeping
in touch with affairs in the Old North
State. political and otherwise.

THEY WANT SOCIAL. EQUALITY.

AN organization OF negro women
known as the Alabama Federation of
tolored Woman'S Clubs" met recent
" AT Birmingham. and among 4 long
list of resolutions adopted condemn
ing certain laws and practices were
the following:
condemnation of indiscriminate
choice of male companions by Young
colored women: condemnation of the
lynching, coupled with plea to the
race to support the officers of the law
condemnation of the Women's Chris
uan Temperance Union; condem-
nation of discrimination against the
race in public conveyance and pro-
test against attendance at theatres
and opera houses where discrimi-
nation is exercised"
This provokes the following COM
comment from the Wilmington Mes
Eengtr:
fou see the drift They condemn
lynching negro for raping white
child or woman. want front seat in
theatres and full swing in public
conyeyances with the whites. That
Federation would be wise to 90 to
the North and urge their claims. Try
Washington or Philadelphia, or Bos-
ton, or New York. or Chicago, or
Akron, or anywhere but in the South.
Move on.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized world.
Your mothers and grandmothers' never
thought OF using anything else for Indi-
gestIon or Biliousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldom heard of Appen-
dicltis, Nervous Prostration or Heart
failure, etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermenta-
ton OF undigested food. regulate the ac-
ton OF the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action of the system. and
that is all they took when feeling dull
and bad with headaches and other aches
You only need few doses of Green :

you satisfied there is nothing serious the
