WHAT Is

a correspondent, reading that Law
who slept with a juror in Iredell county
while a case against the Southern was
pending, would probably be tried for en-
tracery, asks: please print in your pa
per and tell us Wtat is the crime of en-
bracery.'
It may or may not be that Gorham
embraced Juror Brown in hat hotel
loom on the night before the case of
Long VS.. the Southern Railway was tried.
Ehe actual embracing is not necessary
To make the crime. AT Iredell Superior
court this week Judge Shaw went elabo-
lately 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 q definition OF embraeery from
Hawkins.
or instruct q jury, or in any way TO in
cline them to be more favorable to the
enc side than to the other, by money,

Gence and the arguments OF counsel III

Il proper act of embracery, whether the
Jurors on whom such an attempt is made

THE STATES TRINITY OF
NEEDS,

The three things most needed in Nortl
Carolina are:
]. Good Schools.
:. Good Roads.
3. 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
hest 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 a great meeting that
will have a lasting and stimulating eff
feet upon road building in the whole

IT WILL STILL BE OURS.

Charity and Children seems not 10 b.
enthusiastic over the park. 1t says:
Everybody appears to favor the Ap'
paIachian Park, or what ever it is TO bt
called. The News and Observer is right
1t makes no difference what name they
call il. When it is all fixed up we vii
find ourselves minus a large slice of tht
most picturesque portion of North Caro-
lima. Perhaps it Will be more beautiful
but it will not be ours
Yes, it Will be ours as the mountain
peaks, the glades, the rivers, the sunsets
the view from Mt. Mitchell and the
thousand glories of the mountains are
now ours. individuals will be paid fol-
their land, they will find employment in
tourists Will visit it every year, roads
will be built through every portion, and
the skill of man will be employed TO
bring the granduer of nature into view
SO that all may behold the scenes that
have g~laddened the hearts of the noun
taineers for all time.
The mountains cannot be moved. They
are ours forever. The springs will not be
dried up. They will refresh mankind
ten thousand times ten thousand years.
The establishment of the Park removes
nothing from us. We still AVE every
thing we now have, and in addition the
Government will make it so accessible
we Will share it With the whole
world. Visitors will come to Sc the views
that have given strength and courage
to the uweller in the mountain fastness-
es. They will learn to respect his love
of nature and his Inherent worth. The
and the individuality of the
dwellers in the mountain owe will in
part be gone, but good roads, better
schools, nearness to church, and modern
will more than compensate
for the loss.
And the world is more and more

Sunday Sermon.
A SIMPLE FAITH.

Ye believe in God, believe also in me.
! st. John, xiv. 1.
What is absolutely essential in relig-
ion, SO far as doctrine is concerned, is
very little and very simple. The church
has for a long time had a strange notion
believe a long list of dogmas, whereas
the only condition imposed by the Christ
is that a man shall have a heart and I
life full Of love which lifts some ones
burden whenever the chance occurs, an6
seek the strength to do it from Him who
Is Father to all alike.
There is this difference etwee what
is called "a body of doctrine and a
spiritual principle, namely, that not
everybody can either understand or ac-
cept the doctrine, while no man is so un-
lettered or so obtuse that he need fail to
do what is right because he is in doubt
about 1t. The road to heaven is not q
tangled maze of statement about Christ
or God, but a straight and open path
from the trusting human heart to the i'm
mortal life, a path in which the little
child and the grave philosopher may hand
IN hand Vend their way with equal pleas
ure and profit.
You need corner stones if you erect a
building, and for a like reason you need
certain beliefs il you make for yourself
a character. Faith in a God who will
never desert o stand first. 1t must
be an unfinching faith, however. or il
will give way in the time of emergency
You begin We'll when you begin with
that, and you begin i'll If you begin IN
any other fashion.
l nave a queer suspicion that the gen
eral faith in the ability or WILLINGNESS of
zoo 70 see US safely through all earthly
experience Is clouded by more or less
oouot. 1t is a matter which we keen 10
ourselves, but deep down in the hear, is
a wonder whether this beautiful some
tnlng which we call religion can be relied
upon as firmly, for instance. as the sea
captain relies on his compass in a storm
Hence the despair which we find when
death comes into the house, and hence
our when a bold and insolen>
temptation assails US. We are not thor.
oughiy convinced, and, though we hone
that God is there and does hear us when

A Case Showing What Should be Done in Other
Communities.
(Statesville Landmark

SJldICSNlit NJ
The case of Mrs. F. F. Leinster, con-
Nicted in Iredell Superior Court of
keeping IA bawdy house, attracted consid-
cradle attention. This woman owned a
home in a respectable section of the
community, near the graded chool
building. Within the past year her
she, boldly and defiantly, Haunted her
wickedness in the face of the commu-
nifty. At the last term Of the court in
dictments We're found against her in two
cases. Notwithstanding the notorious
character of her house she gave bond
and boldly appeared for trial. The mu-
nicipal government assisted in the prose-
cution of the case and under the direc-
ticn of the Mayor, MIR. III. p. Grier, the
city attorney, assisted the solicitor in the
prosecution. Mr.. L. G. Caldwell appear
ed for the defendant. 1t is a we'll known
fact that it is difficult to secure a con-
yiction in such cases, but happily in this
one a conviction was promptly secured,
and the sentence imposed by his honor

standing. This evil has grow rapidly
in Statesville in recent years and had
become so notorious and outrageous that
prompt and vigorous action was neces-
sary. 1t is said that since this LeinSter
case was disposed of there has been a
general exodus Of sOiled doves. 1t is
we'll. Judge Shaw will be here again in
May and there will be other courts and

The LeinSter Oman's attorney made
an earnest appeal for a remission Of the
Jail sentence OF the condition that the
woman sell her house and pay the fine
of $3.50 and costs and leave the commu-

US like a sudden throb of agony.
That is not religion; it is only the sim
ulation of it. 1t is a staff of willow, not

but in the tempest it fails us. When
Davy invented his wire gauze lamp as Il
protection against the explosive of fir
damp in the mines the workmen LOOKED
at it and shook their heads. 1t was TOO
simple to be worth much. But DaVy
had faith in his lamp. He lighted the
candle. went into the bowels of tho
earth, sought the spot where fire damp
lay in ambush and exposed himselt to
the danger. He had not only a theory.
but a conviction. He WOULD trust his life
to it. No test could be too severe. II"
felt absolutely safe with that lantern IN
his hand.
That is She kind of faith we want il
our lives are to become heroic. And
when we are possessed of it we havr
something else besides. Faith in GOD
produces faith that our earthly expo
rlenceS are our discipline and our pre-
paration. The moment you see Cod a
youT Father duty becomes not only clear
ana distinct, but easy. Alone you can
bear but little. but with the infinite res
erVoir OF power and love to draw from
you are equal to whatever your position
may be. If God Is with YOU then the
ANGELS Who do His bidding will be you
companions. You become one Of tn
great family and will be conspiciousiy
heiped by unseen hands over the rough
places. And this consciousness will groH
clearer as your faith Increases, until IN
the end there will be only a thin veil be
tween you and the other world. YCH

this, but we are yet dull of hearing an

A Fuel Oil Danger.

A great danger attendant upon
the use OF fuel oil seems to be gen.
orally recognized by underwriters,
at least has not been discussed,
and no steps have been taken to
guard against it. We refer to the
greater heat developed in smoke
stacks when fuel oil is used than
when coal is used. This makes it
necessary to have better ventila-
ton around iron smokestacks than
has been required in many cases
heretofore. Two instances have
recently developed in Louisiana,
one in an ice factory aud one in a
sugar house. In both cases the
woodwork near the breeding and
stacks took fire soon after the use
of fuel oil was begun. The wood
work has been cut away and vanti-
lated, SO as to be regarded safe,
while coal was used for fuel, and
was SO, as no danger appeared for
twenty years or more. The conAi-
tons. however, we're not safe when
oil WAS substituted for coal. Not
only is a greater heat developed
under normal conditions when oil
is used than when coal is used, but
conditions arise often which in
crease this danger. When, for in
stance, the supply of oil is not re-
gulated so as to secure perfect
con- bustion under the boilers a
considerable amount does not
ignite until it passes into the
smokestacks, and upon igniting de-
velopes an intense heat.
Anyone with an observant eye,
who has been in the district of the
South where oil has been introdu-
ced for fuel since the development
at Beaumont, must have noticed
how varying the degree of CON-
bustion secured, due to the differ
emit skill Of engineers. A we'll nigh
perfect combustion can be readily
secured, in which case no smoke
is seen to escape from stalks, but
one finds all grades of smoke from
light, white mist, through yell
lows and browns to black smoke,
not as dense, of course. as when
coal is used, but enough to show
that a large quantity of oil has not
been consumed. It would be we'll
for tariff inspectors and special
agents to pay close attention to
this hazard, especially in cases of
sugar houses and other risks re-
mote from FIRE protection. This
risk is also increased in sugar
house from the fact that not only
is oil being used under the boilers,
but now they are beginning to use
oil liz bagasse burners. - N. Y,
