BECAUSE

A DOG
Andrews Cited to Answer the
Complaint Of Phillips In tho
District Court.

Deputy Sheriff Coivin played an import
ant part In a rather unusual case today.
The circumstances as told in the interest
OF william Phillips OF Clayviile are as
follows:
On the morning OF the 18th OF the pres
ent month one Albert Andrews, who
was UP Clayville way found a dog stray
ing about with rope attached to It's
neck.
Mr.. Andrews took possession OF the dog
but he had walked only a short distance
with his treasure. for the dog was deem
ed a treasure as IL had all the points of
a good hunting dog. when he met Mrs.
Phillips. wife OF the owner OF the dog.
She wanted 10 know where Mr.. Andrews
was going with the dog and he desired to
know what business OF hers his course
or the dogs was.
Mr., Andrews softened somewhat and
said he was going hunting. The dog and
Mr.. Andrews were seen In the woods Ia
ter and finally he came to his home In
this city.
Mr. Phillips claims he made several de-
mands for the dog and that finally An
drews took Il TO Clayville and turned tho
animal loose.
or course Mr.. Andrews argues that
having restored the dog to the same con-
dition OF freedom that ne found II In he
has done all that was required Of him.
Mr.. Phillips does not agree TO this and
ne wants the courts 10 decide as TO
whether Mr.. Andrews has acted properly.
A complaint was made against Mr.. An
drews and a copy was served on him by
Deputy Sheriff Colvin.
Mr.. Andrews calls attention TO the fact
that the law Of the state permits any one

c. C. Daniels for Solicitor.
(Rocky Mount Motor.l

The enforcement of the law is the
means by which life is made sacred and
property secure. To a very great extent
its enforcement depends upon the charac-
ter of the man who fills the Office of
Solicitor. This office demands a man
who himself respects and obeys the law
and who has just conception of the
sanctity of the oath he takes to faith
fully and impartially' enforce the law
without fear or favor
The last Legislature increased the num-
Der of judicial districts so that it be-
came necessary for the Governor to- APP
point d solicitor for this district. Cow
ernor Aycock appointed Mr.. c. c. Daniels,
of Wilson, who has filled the office for
the past year, and we are yet to hear the
first objection to the manner in which
he has discharged the duties of the of
flee. AS an officer he has given entire
satisfaction to our people. From his
boyhood Mr.. Daniels has been an untir-
ing and enthusiastic worker in the cause
OF Democracy. For the past three cam
palgns he was chairman CT the Demo-
crauc executive committee of Wilson
county. and he spared no time or effort
TO help rescue the government of his
county and State from the enemy. 1t
has been the almost unbroken policy of
the Democratic party to give the APP
pointee of Democratic Governor a nomi-
nation, and there is no reason why the
policy should be changed in the case of
Mr.. Daniels. The people of this portion
of the district are not in favor of doing
so. They believe in endorsing the Gov
ernor when he makes a credtable ap-
pontment, and they are opposed to re-
fecting upon and humiliating a compe-
tent officer who has always been true
to the Democratic party. The Demo-
Gratis of the district ought to accord to
Mr.. Daniels a nomination without a con-

QUINTETTE OF FELONS
WILL BE TAKEN TO FARGO PENI-

Remain in Jail.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Sweeney leaves
to-day for Fargo, TO incarcer-
ate five criminals in the peni-
Tertiary. The felons which he will
carry with him are Napoleon Brown,
Jim Young, James Woodson, Cutie
Gibbons, c. Cunningham and ]. L. o.
Gates. The last named is the white
man from Florida who was found gull
ty of robbing the bath houses at Ty-
bee, and who was given five years
sentence in the penitentiary by Judge
Barrow.
Woodson will be remembered as the
negro who was given a ten years SEN
tence, in the Superior Court, for
snatching a purse from Mrs. Cunning
ham.
Jim Young, who pleaded guilty
to have murderously assaulted anoth-
er negro named Jessie Howe, and who
was on Tuesday sentenced to six years
al hard labor in the penitentiary, will
also be taken.
Napoleon Brown and Cutie Gibbons
are to serve five and seven
years sentences for the bur-
glary and assault with intent
to murder, respectively G. Cum
bingham will don the striped suit for
three years for larceny after trust.
Sherman Richards, who has life
sentence hanging over him, will prob
ably serve his term before any of the
others have. He is failing fast and 1t
is not thought that he will live much
longer. He will not be taken to the
penitentiary but will be sent to the
poor farm.
Richard Young. sentenced to
life imprisonment, will not be sent
to the penitentiary at once. He will
remain at the jail.
There are several other negroes con-
nected with the murder of the Foun-
tain boy and the authorities will keep
him near at hand to testify in the
cases against these parties should they
be caught. John Staley is now under
arrest and other arrests are expected
to follow.

EIGHT YEARS THE PENALTY.
Bertha Jones Must Serve That Term
for MansIauKhter.

Bertha Jones, tried in the Superior
Court on Tuesday for the murder of
Nellie Jenkins and found guilty by the
jury of voluntary manslaughter, was
sentenced by Judge Barrow yesterday
to spend the next eight years of her
life at hard labor in the penitentiary.
Sentence was imposed when court
convened in the morning. In finding
the woman guilty of manslaughter,
the jury had recommended her to the
extreme mercy of the court, and Judge
Barrow considered this recommends
ton in making up his sentence.
He told the defendant so when he
pronounced the mandate of the law
in her case. He added that crimes of
violence and of disregard of property
rights were becoming every day more
numerous. and that if it were impossi-
bic to lessen the number of these Of
lenses, by imposing upon convicted Of
tenders a penalty fully commensurate
with the nature and degree of their
guilt, this would be done.
The girl, for she is no more, took
her sentence quietly enough. Indeed,
from the very moment the fatal thrust
was inflicted she has never seemed to
be particularly excited over the mat
ter. and has borne her Imprisonment,
trial and conviction, as yesterday she
received her sentence with a mild
and passive indifference.
The woman will probably be sent
to the state prison farm at Milledge-
Vile. where most or all of the female
conVicts, sentenced to serve terms for
felonieS, now undergo confinement.
