CHARITY and .ldren.)
At the recent meeting of the Chowan
Association a proposition was submitted
from Mr.. E. f. Aydlett, of Elizabeth City,
that If the association would erect a
building at the Orphanage at a cost of
$1,000, he would build another himself
at the same cost. The proposition was
adopted with great enthusiasm and a COM
mittee of five excellent business men was
appointed to make the apportionment
among the churches. This committee per-
formed its duty promptly and reported
$1,000 as the result Of their work.
1t nothing else had been done, this ac-
ton by the association would have made
it great and memorable session. The
addition Of two splendid houses to the
Orphanage plant means the opening of the
doors to at least sixty orphans who are
now exposed to shame and ruin. What
more ChrIstlike work could have engaged
the attention of the brethren than this
help for the helpless, this door Of oppor-
tunity opened to the hopeless and the
lost!
The old Chowan has always poured out
its treasure upon the Orphanage with an
open and generous hand, but it had no
building here that it could call its own.
Now the Chowan house and the Aydlett
house will bind the body to the institu-
ton with stronger bonds than ever, and
thrill the hearts of the brethren of this
great Baptist stronghold with a new and
holy love- We praise God for this glorious
onward movement, which means much
for the Orphanage but more for the Chow
an association.
Dr.. OVERLY, the veteran leader in every
good word and work in that great section,
gave joyous endorsement to the move
ment and Rev. =. A. G. Thomas was
as happy as a boy Indeed the action was
spontaneous and unanimous expression
of loyal and loving affection for the Or
phanage, and the General Manager found
himself on a tide of sympathy that bore
him beyond his brightest hopes It was
good to be there, and the writer feels
that he has suffered real personal loss
in failing to attend.
This is one collection that will not ''hang
fire" No pleading will be necessary and
no long, hard, drastic pulling will need
to be done. Every church will find pleas
ure in paying its part, and the two new
buildings will soon be up and open to
sixty bright boys and girls who are now
denied the blessed help the Orphanage
affords. We cannot express the gratitude
of our hearts. We give the Chowan breth-
rem our hearty congratulations. They are
the Lords royalty. We rejoice that these
glorious monuments will tell TO the world
in some measure at least what manner
of love they have bestowed upon the Or
phanage. This is glory enough for one
week

in Guilford county, Judge w. r. Allen,
good citizen serving on the jury when
summoned, pointing out that it was only
in this way that life and property could
be protected and the law Justly admins
tered. On that very afternoon a leading
lawyer and business man called to see
the Judge and asked him to excuse the
moned on the jury. The argument for
excusing him was very strong one. Fl
'nally Judge Allen said to the business man:
Il think you ought to serve" and show
ed him why the best man ought not to
seek to escape jury service, and then said:
Il want you to think about this matter
tonight in the light of your public duty"
The next day the business man. after re-
flecting upon the matter, came back and
served on the jury. The action of that
business man is one that ought to be
emulated; but if men of large business
interests try to escape jury service the
judges of the State owe it to themselves
and their oath of office to refuse to ex-
cuse any except for the reasons that are
SO strong that refusal would work a
severe injury. They ought to compel all
persons eligible to serve upon juries.
In his charge to the jury in Guilford,
Judge Allen stated that he had under
stood that in some counties the county
commissioners did not put in the jury box
the names of all persons who are eligible
for jury duty One gentleman who was
in Raleigh few weeks ago from the
western part of the State, a leading
manufacturer, said that he had an ar
rangement by which his name was not
put in the jury box and he had an I'M
derstanding with the sheriff that if he
was in the court room that he was not to
be called to serve upon the jury. If
there are many such instances there is
great need of the Grand Jury going into
the business of indicting county commits
sioners and sheriffs for helping men to
evade jury service. The county commits
sioners in every county should at once
take this matter into consideration, and
they should see to it that the name of
every person eligible for jury service is
put in the jury box and the judges should
compel them to serve, permitting no rea-
son except very grave ones to excuse
any man.
The jury system is the very foundation
upon which rests all our system of juris-
prudence. If there is not an honest ad-
ministration of this system then the
fountain of justice is polluted at its
source

NORTH CAROLINA IN THE MET
ROPOLIS.

"Once a Tar-heel; always a Tar-heel"
were the words used by President Winston
in his address at the banquet of the
North Carolina Society in New York city
on the Twentieth of May.
Though Nerth Carolinians are to be
found in all portions of the Republic, they
always love the State of their birth. There
are living today in other States more
than a quarter OF million men and
women who were born in North Caro-
Ina The State regrets that it lost their
actual residence; it rejoices in their pros
perity in their new-made homes.
Elsewhere in today's paper we print
from the pen of Mr.. w. Bob Holland, a
native North Carolinian, now connected
with the New York Journal, sketch
of some of the more prominent North
Carohnians who are now living in New
York city. It is a record that does the
old State proud. Accompanying these
sketches are pictures of some of the North
Carolinians who have achieved success
in the metropolis. We had hoped to
print sketches and pictures of still others.
but they could not be obtained.
The North Carolina Society serves to
bring together the North Carolina resi-
dents in New York, and its annual ban
quets are occasions where distinguished
guests from other States join with them
in doing honor to the Old North State
may heavens blessings attend her.

GUILFoRD's GOOD FORTUNE.

During commencement at Guilford Col

the recipient of two generous gifts of one
thousand dollars each. Mr. w. w. Mills,
OF Raleigh, president of the Carolina
Trust Company in honor of his wife, who
was educated at Guilford and of his son
who IS a student there, gave $1,000 to-
wards the establishment of an electric
light plant. The other 81 900 was sent by
a Friend in Philadelphia as a contribution
towards the raising of a fund as a me
mortal of Harriet Green, of England, a
distinguished Friends preacher. who was

Every dollar given to Guilford is put

Bishop A. Coke smith Leaves the State Of North
Carolina.

Bisbop A. Coke Smith will shortly leave
North Carolina and make his home in
Norfolk The cause for Bishop Smiths
departure is given by the Charlotte OBJ
Chronicle as follows:
aThe ambition of two other clergymen
in the Methodist Conference in the state
i directly responsible for Bishop Smiths
leaving North Carolina They-and maybe
others-wish to be bishop, and it was in
timated, too clearly for doubt to re-
main, that they thought that if Bishop
smith remained in North Carolina this
would initiate against new bishop he
ing selected from the ranks Of the North
Carolina clergymen
True, everybody knew that Bishop
Smith came here from Virginia and his
residence here was merely circumstantial.
and yet it was feared by limited few
that the bare statement Of the fact.
There is bishop ii North Carolina
would be taken into consideration when
the General Conference Of the Methodist
church meets three years hence to elect
a new bishop.
That's pretty howdydo."

One of the growing needs of the time
is the Improvement, not in the jury sys-
TEN, but in its administration. In many
instances the men who complain most
against the miscarriage of justice are
the most inveterate shirkers of their Jury
duty. Go into any court house during a
term OF court and you will find the
leading lawyers doing everything within
their power to get judges to excuse the
most influential men who have been
summoned to serve upon the jury and
too often the judges grant these requests
upon the plea that these men are so busy
that they cannot devote few days to the
jury service, thus protecting the State
against the evil of which they complain
most loudly. In a certain city in North
Carolina, where there was a gross mis-
carriage of justice few weeks ago, a
business man was very severe in denounc-
ing the course of the jury and declaring
that they were tending to make anarchists,
because the law was not enforced. It
transpired that this very man had been
summoned to appear on the very jury and
had shirked his duty. Men who shirk
their duty have no right to crticise the
verdicts of juries rendered by men who
are not shirkers.
