MONDAY EVENING. DEC. Is, 1902

Mr.. NEwHoUsE, of Culpeper, chair
man of the House committee ON prisons
and asylums, has in contemplation the
introduction of bill in the State legis-
lature providing for the establishment
of the whipping post as a punishment
for petty larceny. He has not finally
decided to offer the bill, and may not do
so. though he personally believes il
would have more salutary effect than
imprisonment or fine. He desires to
sound the sentiment of the House before
offering the bill and thinks that the
measure is more important now than
ever. because the county courts have
been abolished, and it will be an unfor-
innate thing to have the Circuit Courts
crowded with petty criminal cases. The
bill should not only be offered but be
passed. Fear of physical pain is the
greatest of all deterrents from crime, and
a sound thrashing is seldom forgotten
The State of Delaware Isl good example
for all the other States in the union TO
follow in this respect, for there the
whipping post stands as a terror to
criminals and there crime exists at its
minimum, while criminal expenses are
kept at the low water mark. These are
too practical times for sickly sentiment
tality. Men who rob chicken roosts,
beat women, snatch pocketbooks, pur-
loin fuel or engage in pilfering generally
have no fears of prison bars behind
which are comfortable fires and three
meals day, If the fears of the lash
does not entirely prevent such ohenses,
it would greatly lessen them, and re-
liable records show that man once
so punished rarely places himself in a
situation to be similarly punished again.

GEN. FIrzHUGH LEE on WAR

GEN. FITzHUGH LEE on WAR;
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee is in New York al
tending to private business. At the
Waldorf Astoria, when asked about the
Cuban problem, he said that it is a sim
pie one. AS long as the rights of
Americans and other foreigners were
protected, in his opinion, this country
would faithfully keep to the agreement
that the Cubans should govern them
selves. When Consul-General, he said,
he was told by Spaniards that the Gu
bans would assassinate him to bring on
war between the United States and
Spain, but he thought he was in no
danger from that source, He said he
did not predict war within a year, but
that it might come at any time, and that
he considered it WIS the duty of the
country to maintss:l strong navy to be
ready for any emergency.

is having frequent conferences with
Park Agnew and other prominent Vir-

true that he is standing in with Agnew,

SURRENDERED HmsELF.-Arthur l..
Bishop, of Petersburg, travelling sales
man for the +. VI. Hoyt Shoe Company,
of Manchester, n. H., who last We'd
nesday night shot and killed Thomas
Wilson in the latter's parlor, in Char
Iotte, n. c., while in company with
Wilson'S daughter and another young
woman, and for whom the police OF diff
ferent cities have been on the lookout,
surrendered himself last night to Mayor
William NJ Jones, of Petersburg.
Bishop was at once taken by the mayor
TO the Jail and turned over to the Off
cials there Bishop was visited at the
jail by large number Of his friends,
with whom he conversed most pleasantly.
Bishop claims that the shooting was en-
tirely justifable, as Wilson, at the time
he shot him, was beating him over the
head with a stick, and that he only shot
him in self defense. Bishop says that
after the shooting he went back to the
hotel in Charlotte, where he was stop
ping, and remained there until the next
day, when he left for Norfolk, where he
remained until Saturday night, when he
went to the police station at Norfolk and
inquired of the chief of police when the
next train would leave for Roanoke.
Bishop arrived in Petersburg Saturday
night at 1921 o'clock, and got off at the
stock yards, on Bollingbrook street, and
then walked to his home on Harrison
street, where he remained with his wife
and child until last night, when he gave
himself up. Governor Aycock, of North
Carolina, on last Friday offered reward
of S400 for Bishops arrest.
