DEMANDS DRASTIC TREATMENT

Wilson Times.
The prompt action of Solicitor Daniels
in bringing out all possible evidence at
the coroner's inquest and then getting the
matter before the grand jury is very com
mendable indeed.
The prosecution should be vigorously
pressed until all there is evidence against
shall be taught a severe lesson for their
completely in this horrID.e affair.
The lawyers defending these men will
asy that we should not endeavor to stir
up feeling against them. We are not.
Their outrageous action has and should
stir this community to the very core.
There are some men implicated in this
affair we feel a sympathy fer and regret
they should have become mixed up IN this
mess But how any man with decency
and respect could follow a man with the
unsavory reputation of Gill Ward into
anv sort of affair we fail to understand.
Nearly all the lawyers in Wilson have
been retained by the defense, but our
people for the sake of the fair name of
Wilson should start fund to prosecute
the guilty ones and never stop until the
last one is brought to justice, and when
that is done let the entire community de-
termine that healthier condition of af-
fairs shall hereafter exist The case needs
drastic treatment gentlemen. The worst
element of the liquor and gambling inter-
ests Of the city must be taught they
can't run things here.

THE LAW SHOULD BE CHANGED.


Henderson Gold Leaf.
In the disposition Of the Joe Cole case
justice has again been cheated. If ever
there was case which called for the ex.
IRENE penalty for murder we believe this
one did. The law was on the side of the
murderer and the Supreme Court says
that under the law he could not be hung.
But the law is wrong and ought to be re-
pealed. 1t is well to have degrees in muir
der. All killing is not murder. but the
law should not be so that it is next to
impossible to establish first degree muir
der. Deliberation. generalization and
malice aforethought must be proven to
convict of murder in the first degree The
act itself, the circumstances leading up
to and surrounding the commission of the
crime have little or nothing to do with
it. they are not to be considered The law
ought to be changed or capital punish
ment for murder should be wiped from
the statute books

RALEIGH The PLACE FOR THE
SEABOARD AIR LINE Shops.

For fifty years Raleigh was the home
of the shops of the Raleigh and CASTOR
Railroad. When that company purchased
the Raleigh and Augusta Railroad, the
shops were enlarged to do the work OF
both. Later when the Carolina Central
was purchased by the same company, the
shops at Laurinburg were consolidated
with the shops In Raleigh, to which all
the Laurinburg force was added. Most
of the work for the Seaboard from Ports
mouth to Weldon was done In Raleigh.
Finally the headquarters of that system
were removed from Raleigh to Portsmouth.
Then disastrous fire destroyed the shops
at Raleigh. and the work was concentrated
at Portsmouth, Va. 1t is at the extreme
Northern end of the system, an incon-
venient location. terrible fire consumed
the shops entaiiing loss to the company
of more than half million dollars.
OF course the Seaboard system must
build large shops at some point on its
line. What point shall that be? Last
week it was given out that the large
building in Raleigh, partially destroyed
by fire. would be covered and made new
again, and that more work would be
done in Raleigh than heretofore. This was
an indication that the authorities regard
Raleigh as suitable point where much
OF their work can be done. Now that a
fire has burned the shops in Portsmouth,
and they must rebuild, the question nat
urally will be considered by the railroad
people as to the best point at which the
shops should be rebuilt.
Raleigh and Portsmouth stand in the
same position in this respect. The Sea
board shops in each were burned down

tiles the advantages which this city af-
fords. Geographically its location rs ideal
and if the authorities will investigate they
will find that there is no place on their
system so eligibly situated for the loca-
ton of their shops. They have large shops
in Florida. They will no doubt wish to
rebuild the shops, not at the extreme
Northern terminus, but in a centrally To-
Gated city on the line of the road, conven-
lent to all the Northern lines and branches
Raleigh is that place and immediate ac-
ton ought to be taken to prove that fact
to the parties who are authorized to re-
build the shops burned down on Friday
night.

"In Asheville," says the Charlotte Pres

in some way antagonized the dominant
party and were defeated" The dominant
party in this instance was the Democratic
party. And this moves us to observe once
more that good legislation, beneficial leg
islation, has come to the people of North
Carolina only through the Democratic
party. So long as the temperance and
moral forces of the State are largely with
in the Democratic party and would leave
very little behind if they were to get out
of it. 1T is the part of wisdom for them
to make their local fights with its aid
wherever possible rather than with its OPP
position. The Republican party's persist.
ent advocacy of bad causes and occasional
successes therein have made it next to i'm
