NEW TRIAL FOR WILCOX.

James Wilcox, the alleged murderer
of Nell Crosby, who was convicted al
Elizabeth City last spring, will have q
new trial, decision to that effect hav-
ing been handed down in the North
Carolina supreme court yesterday The
grounds of a new trial are the demon
STATIONS of lawlessness and intimidations
which characterized the closing stages of
the case in the lower tribunal The
court, in rendering its decision, says:
'.No persons ought to be taken or dis
seized of his liberties or privileges or
outlawed or in any manner deprived of
his life, liberty, or property but by the
law of the land, and the provision of our
State constitution applies as well to pro-
cedure and manner of trial in our courts
of justice as it does TO the great princi-
pies of the law which nnderlie our society.
In this case the prisoner was arraigned
on an indictment for murder and con-
yicted of that crime in the first degree.
The evidence was entirely circum-
stantial, and while that character of evil
dence may, in its very nature, produce
high degree of moral certainty
into its application, yet it is never to be
forgotten that it requires the greatest de-
gree Of caution and vigilance. In read
ing the record in this case it hardly
seems possiblesthat the jury could have
given that cautious and yigilant atten-
ton to the evidence which the law re-
quires of them, or to the presentation of
the prisoners case to them by his
counsel that thought which the impor-
lance of the case demanded. In their
immediate presence 100 people, with
deliberate purpose to prejudice the
rights of the prisoner, committed a great
wrong against the Commonwealth and
a contempt of the court. On tie out
side of the courthouse great impr0-
priety took place for the purpose of pre-
judicing the prisoner with the jury.
The disordcrly proceedings assumed
such proportions as to warrant this
court in declaring that the trial was not
in accordance with the law OF
the land. The propriety of our ruling
is strengthened by the circumstances
that contempt proceedings were not
against those offending and
that no motion was made to set the |

BRAIN-FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fsi has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly
notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, another for muscles, and
still another for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish particular part OF
the body, but it will sustain every other
par. Yet, however good your food may
be, its nutriment is destroyed by indi-
gestion or dyspepsia You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses of Green's
August Flower. the favorite medicine OF
the healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get

TO FIGHT 1T OUT.

Mr.. Park Agnew, chairman, Of the
Virginia State republican committee, was
in Washington yesterday and in reference
to State politics said: ave will have
candidates for Congress in eight of the
ten districts in Virginia, and the demo-
Gratis will find that there is campaign on.
The district, in which we will have no
candidates are the Fourth and Sixth,
and they are hopelessly democratic ="
The republican party in Virginia, y
said Chairman Agnew, sis in better
shape today than it has been for long
time. President Roosevelt's Admins
tration has strengthened us, and we are
prepared to put up an earnest, aggressive
fight against the democrats. There is
not much enthusiasm anywhere on the
part of the democrats, as they seem to
realize that the people are contented to
let well enough alone. am satisfied
there will be no change in the political
complexion of the next House"

Element of the anthracite coal strike are

that no concessions will be made. That

of the strikers.

A PHILADELPHIA paper draws a
parallel as to the treatment of the Jews
in Roumania and the negroes in the
South and says
There is a wide field for intena-
tional missionary labors in the Southern
States, where the burning alive OF ne
groes is popular diversion. II a
Berlin treaty power were to ask Sec
rotary Hay whether or not the United
States is as responsible for the behavior
of Mississippi as Germany is for the in
ternal policy of Roumania, convincing
negative answer might be hard to
frame"
This shows how little the negro
question is understood in the North,
and the paper referred to would have it
appear that the lynching of negroes is
confined to the South. There is field
for missionary work, however, but 1t
should be among the class of negroes
who assault white women, and they
should be taught and made TO under
stand that whenever they commit brutal
crimes quick retribution will be meted
out to them whether it be in the South
or North.

SOME of the prominent republicans OF
the west are vieing with each other in
their efforts to be in the lead In the
liver tariff movement which Is now
spreading over that section. Senator
Willard. of Nebraska, whose stand
against the President at the last session
of Congress aided largely in defeating
the Cuban reciprocity measure, has had
a change of heart, and hereafter Will
support the President on every occasion.
Senator Willard was asked on Monday:
"Haye the occurrences during the past
two or three months which have shown
a growth of tariff revision sentiment IN
the republican party affected your stand
ON the Cuban reciprocity measure to
such an extent that you will reverse
your vote at the coming session and cast
il in favor of that legislation? will
stand with the President on every issue,
replied Senator Willard. | have dis
covered that the people of Nebraska
have not so strong sentiment in favor
of the retention of the tariff as | have
thought. and if the measure comes up
again | will follow the action which the
President may suggest. The western
Senators and Representatives will find il
very convenient to adopt the ideas OF
their constituents on the tariffquestion FOL
if they don't there will be other Con
gressmen from that section.

Other Massachusetts corporations, which
have been able to secure coal, are taking
similar action. The employees are to
