WHAT Is EMBRACERY?

A correspondent, reading that Law
Agent Gorham, of the Southern Railway
who slept with 4 juror in IredelI county
while case against the Southern was
pending would probably be tried for en-
tracery, asks: please print in your pa :
ier and tell us wtat is the crime of en-
bracery.
1t may or may net be that Gorham
embraced Juror Brown in that hotel
room on the night before the case of
Long VS.. the Southern Railway was tried.
Ihe actual embracing is not necessary
to make the crime At Iredell Superior
court this week Judge Shaw went elabo-
1ately into the crime of embracery, and
closed by saying that the person who
makes the attempt is guilty whether the
juror is or is not corrupted.
Here is definition of embracery from
Hawkins
ANY attempt to corrupt or influence
or instruct q jury, or in any way to in
cline them 10 be more favorable to the
enc side than to the other, by money,
promises, letters threats or persuasions,
except only by the strength of the evil
dence and the arguments of counsel in
open court. at the trial of the cause, is
proper act of embracery, whether The
jurors on whom such an attempt is made
give any verdict or not, or whether the
verdict given be true or false"

THE STATES TRINITY OF
NEEDS,
The three things most needed in North

The three things most needed in North
Carolina are:
1. Good Schools.
,. Good Roads.
s. Free Rural Delivery.
And they all three go hand in hand,
are mutually dependent one on the other.
The earnest efforts making in all parts
Of the State for the better schools is the
best sign of the times, but without good
roads the benefit of these schools must
be denied to many children in disagree
able weather. The blessing of free rural
delivery will add to the comforts of liv-
ing in the country, but efficient free mail
delivery in all portions of the rural dis
tricts is dependent upon good roads.
The necessity for Good Roads is therefore
of prime Importance if the small child
rem are to enjoy school advantages and
their parents are to be favored with
prompt delivery of their mail.
The Good Roads Convention that will
be held in Raleigh on the 18th and 18th
Of February is the most important gath
ering held at the capital in this decade.
The outlook is for great meeting that
will have lasting and stimulating eff
feet upon road building in the whole

them, as well as people engaged in other
callngs dependent on their prosperity,
will have to be more economical in their
expenditures by reason of the disappoint-
ment of last year, it will be more or
less hard on them But it is pure and

favorites in the race for the Congress
sional nomination in the Seventh dis
trict, was in the city yesterday
Asked as to tho political situa ton in
his section, Mr. Covington said:
THE fight for the nomination to Corr
gress in the Seventh has opened early
and almost every one of the ten counties
composing the DISTRICT has candidate.
There are eight that / can think OF right
now. 1t is a foregone conclusion that
the nomination will go to one of the
counties in the southern part of the dis
trict. Union county never has had a

the time to reward her for good work

Mr. Covington has been chairman of

and during the time when Populism was
in bloom, he saved his county when all
the res. in the district were lost. In
