DO I'VE NEED IT.

To any one who makes careful oh
servstion of general court proceeding
in North Carolina, it is clear that
there Is something lacking in til
proper punishment for certain classes
OF crimes.
We believe that something which i
lacking would be supplied by the ole
time whipping post. Perhaps some
one will say that such thing in thi!
enlightened twentieth century woule
be barbarous.
Well, if crime had been reduced com
mensurate with the progress of human
affairs and intelligence and erasrprist
then one might say that the use of thu
vhipping-post would be bar
barous. But sad to say, it can hardl,
be shown that such is the case.
The truth is, sound wbipping-ros
would deter some persons from The
commission OF crime much more effec
tu,lly than a term of months in 9
county Jail or even in the State prison
And in being more effectual in pre-.
venting crime it would be economical
for the State.
No punishment after the commits
sion OF a crime can make amends for
the crime, and so the state is entitled
to the best and most available means
for preventing crime.
1t was found that in England the
whipping post is an effectual means OF
preventing crime in young culprits
and adults as we'll. And there are
many people Lying amongst us now
who remember the effect of the whip
ping post here. We candidly believe
that for certain crimes, petty larceny,
besides certain kinds of drunkenness
and the Ike, the whipping post would
be much better punishment than
the Jail and penitentlary. It would
not hurt for the Legislature to pass
such law. Its good or bad effectI
could soon be learned and il it should
prove to be a bad law it could easily
be repealed. 1t would certainly save
the State great deal of expense in
Cured by feeding prisoners who serve
a term in jail after conviction.
