PARDONED GOLD BRICK SWINDLER.
Governor Aycock Gives One of the
Three Participants in the Famous
Greensboro Case His Liberty.

Governor Aycock on Yesterday
granted a pardon for A. L. Daley.
one of the three Chicago men now
serving terms in the State prison for
trying to work the ''gold brick
scheme on Mr.. Paul Garrett at
Greensboro. The case is remembered
as one of the most noted and hard
fought that has occurred in the
criminal annals of the State for
many years. Daley and his accom-
plices were convicted during the
June, 1901, term of the Guilford
county Superior court; the case was
fought through the Supreme court
and then an effort made to secure in
tervention by the United States
courts. However, to the penitenti-
airy they went where they have for
the past several months been max
ing ordinary clay brick for the State.
In granting the pardon for A. l..
Daley yesterday the Governor is
sued the following official statement
of reasons:
THE prisoner is pardOned upon
| the recommendation of numerous
citizens of Chicago and Milwaukee,
who certify that they have known
him for many years and he has al.
ways borne a good character until
the present offence. His pardon is
recommended by Senator Mason, o.
Illinois, and by many of the city Off
GERS of Chicago, and is also approved
by the solicitor of the district and by
the sheriff of Guilford county. II
is clearly shown that the prisoner
has never been charged with any OF
fence before. He is offered employ
ment in Chicago and it is represented
will at once 90 into useful work. -
Raleigh Post, 9th.
If more puerile excuse for setting
at liberty criminal scoundrel wa'
ever given we have failed to observe
it, Such exercise of the pardonins
power but emphasizes the need of ;
pardoning board. The one-ma1
power is wrong and dangerous. |
ought to he abolished. The govern
or should be relieved of the powe
and responsibility vested in tn
right of pardon.

DEATH SENTENCE COM MUTED TO
LIFE IMPRISONMENT.

Governor AycOck has committed
the sentence OF Richard BlatOn, who
was to hang at Salisbury August 9TH,
to life Imprisonment. He and a
negro named Fleming were convicted
of the usual crime" on Il reputable
white woman of Rowan Fleming
was executed and on the scaffOld
swOre that BlatOn was innocent.
The Governor says that BlatOn's
guilt is too uncertain to permit his
execution.
Among the large number who
asked for the prisoners cOmmuta-
ton OF sentence was the Judge who
tried the case He wrote the Gov
| ernor that but for an understanding
| that Il communication would be Sc
| cured he would have set the verdict
| aside when it was rendered. 1t is
time for this policy of Judges to stop.
They should discharge their work
| without shifting the responsibility
| on the Governor. If there was SUI
| ticient reason for setting aside the
verdict in BlatOn's case then the
Judge should not have sOlemnly sen
fenced him to hang and then APP
| pealed to the Raleigh
| Times.
| If Richard Blaton did not deserve
the death penalty he ought to be
turned loose 1t is a terrible wrong
and injustice to shut him up in the
penitentiary for life if he is innocent
of the crime charged against him.
The Salisbury Sun says there is
difference of opinion there but adds
"it is safe to say that a majority OF
the people of the county are of the
opinion that Blaton is guilty and
should pay the penalty"

HIGHER INSURANCE RATES.
Enfield Ledger.

A-AhNAN ASoSSA'
The Henderson GOLD LEAF had an
interesting article last week on tho
effort Of the Southeastern Tariff AS
ISOLATION to advance rates 25 per
cent. on all classes of risks except
churches, dwellings and brick stores.
The ostensible cause for this is that
the companies have had large losses
in Paterson, Jacksonville and other
places, and therefore must make
more profits out of North Carolina to
recoup their losses.
AS part OF its program for carry
ing out its plan Of greed and OPP
preston the Associations endeavor-
ing to suppress three independent
companies having headquarters at
Greensboro. Mr.. McAlister, the
manager of the Greensboro compa-
MES, called the attention of the Asso-
| citation to the fact that it's profits for
the last three years in North Carolina
had been highly remunerati,e and
that it would be unjust to tax North
Carolina with its losses in other
States.
uiS was W tuc aSSUCid-
ton by a demand on Mr.. McAlister
to increase his rates % per cent. with
threat if he did not do SO to drive
| his companies out of business.
Here we have a complete illustra-
ton of the working of trusts. and the
Southeastern TariH Association, as
| the GOLD LEAF says, is one of the
worst trusts in the United States.
The additional tax on the town of
Henderson alone by this advance is
$12, 900.
How is this mammoth and con.
scienceless trust 10 be fought? 1t
! will have to be done by the people
mostly in their individual capacity
Let the Greensboro companies be
patronized wherever possible to the
exclusion of the Tariff companies.
Where there are no agents or from
any cause this is not practicable. let
the people takS their own risks as far
| as possible and not ins[re at all.
Tho GOLD LEAF calls on the Legis-
| lature at its next session to interfere
| and drive them from the State, and
this ought to be done as far as it is
| in its power

THE STATES FINANCES.
StateSville Landmark.

A Raleigh correspondent says:
State Treasurer Lacy has had to
struggle all the year with lack of
funds, very disagreeable thing, by
the way. The appropriations exceed
the receipts from taxes. He has in
this trying state of affairs acquitted
himself with marked zeal, discretion
and good judgment. His getting the
5000. in New York on his note, is
case in point. 1t was cleverly
done. very cleverly. AS the taxes
fall short by 1853, 600 of raising the
sum total of the appropriations for
last year and this year the size of
the problem will be understood
Treasurer Lacy said the pressure on
the Treasury would be relieved in
September.
A statement published in the early
part of the year-in February, we be-
that there would be
4 shortage in the State Treasury.
Nothing more was heard of the mat
ter until few weeks ago when the
rumor was published that the State
Treasury was behind 100000. This
was confirmed by Senator Simmons
in his speech before the Democratic
State Convention at Greens boro. be
stating that the Treasurer had bor-
rowed 100000 to meet deficit in
the revenues.
The truth is that taxes levied bv
the State has proved insufficient to
meet the appropriations made by the
Legislature. When these facts be-
came apparent it was necessary
either to borrow the money to meet
the necessary appropriations = for
schools. the insane asylpps and
other State institutions allow the
appropriations to 90 unpaid. 1t was
| decided to borrow the money and
this was done.
There is no charge of dishonesty
or mismanagement against anybody.
The money has been honestly ex-
pended but the receipts did not equal
| the disbursements, hence the situa-
ton as stated.
There is only one criticism that
will properly lie n this matter and
that is that the facts SHOULD have
been made public at the time the
| money was borrowed. There was no
necessity for concealment and it is
always best to be open and above
board in these matters. The people
have a right to know these things
and they should be dealt with can
didly. The State administration
should have stated that it was going
to borrow the money and then bor-
rowed it. instead of keeping close
about it for several months, until
the rumor got abroad. A Treasury
statement ought to be published
every few months and the people
kept fully advised of the situation.

About to be launched in Green's
bo!O.

Raleigh Post.
Greensboro. n. c.. Aug. 2.-Iusur-
ance Commissioner j. r. Young was
in the city Friday night and today.
He was seen by the Post correspond
ent and stated that he came 10
Greensboro to look into the fight go
ing on between the association COM
panies and the Greensboro companies
That he had been watching the fight
with considerable Interest but had
taken no part therein so long as the
fight was carried on within the bounds
OF the law; but as soon as he saw
that the companies had notified GER
tain citizens of the State that they
must give up the policies OF the
Greensboro companies. or they would
cancel their policies, he determined
to look into the matter. He came
here and found that this notice had
been called off and no policies taken
up because many of the companies
disapproved of it.
The missioner stated that he
| desired the matter settled and had
had conference with the representa-
tives of both sides, and that it now
looked as if the matter was in fair
way to be settled upon such terms as
| would be mutually satisfactory to
both the home and foreign companies
and for the best interests OF the citi-
zens of the State. Commissioners
Young said that he did not deem it
best at this time to state what these
terms were.
1t has just developed here that on
July 3Gth, prospectus was issued
by the managers of the Greensboro
fire companies contemplating the or
ganization of a new company to work
in conjunction with the present COM
panies, the new one TO have full paid
capital of $5O.O)0. Ten thousand
dollars Of this is subscribed by the
managers of the Greensboro compa-
MES, $4,000 has been assured by
Greensboro capitalists, and it is said
that the remaining thirty thousand
will be taken by outside parties, the
plan being to place it in influential
hands, distributed throughout the
| OLdLe, duu luulCAClOuS are Ludt IL Will
be speedily taken. The home compa'
MES have certainly made another
game fight for the privilege of run
ming their business to the interest Of
their patrons, based on their owr
business judgment, and from thai
view if no other, are to be congratu
lated on the outcome of the recen
