SUING

The resolution introduced in the Will
mington chamber of by Mr..
NJ. w. jacob and unanimously adopted
at a recent meeting which % strong
ground against speculative suits against
corporations has attracted a good deal
of attention throughout the state, as
have several other progressive meas-
ures of this fine body of business men.
The Charlotte Observer, commenting
on the resolutions says:
In passing a resolution condemning
the bringing of unjust suits and in other
ways narrowing corporations, the Will
mingtOn chamber of commerce has set
a good example. We talk about equality
before the law, and yet it has reached
the point in North Carolina when one
does not expect a large corporation, es-
pecially if it happens to be a railroad,
to get justice in the courts. A sharp
lawyer can get q verdict in almost any
kind of a case, but suppose he should
have-as he has often-no ground what
ever to tand on, still the corporation
is put to the expense of defending itself.
An attorney brings a suit for a client on
condition that he will get a portion of
the damages secured. The suit is often
in stituted in forma pauperis, n nc
matter how trivial the caSe of the
plaintiff the defendant is forced to the
necessity of defending it, while the
plaintiff and his contingent fee lawyers
are at no expense whatever. 1t is time
his matter were being looked at in it's
true light, and the condemnation by the
Wilmington chamber of of
the 'unprofessional practice of attor-
neys seeking such litigation and &C
cepting same on contingent fees, is well
deserved"

same matter and has this to say:

When they quit employing white men

a few resign; at any rate, new men are
constantly wanted and as there are no
young men to promote from the shovel
to the throttle the only recours is to
go to other roads for men to run the

take a run with only a limited knowl-

THE practice of suing the compa-
ny has reached the point where it
would be ludicrous were it not for the
~disgraceful debauchery Of the public
which is evidenced thereby and the too
often results thereof. The practice has
become a reproach to h state and the
legal profession. The law at n time
would not permit a lawyer to receive
pay for service rendered in a suit
brought under the pauper act. Wheth-
er that was repealed to open the door to
the present day contingent fee prac-
tice We do not know. Its re-enactment
would be a proper thing for the state,
and a proper rebuke to those in high
places and a venal press who have
promoted the d~ebauchery Of juries by
which such injustice is done under the
pretention of a due process Of law"

SHOT WHILE AT WORK.
WIKI Maxwell Killed Near Gay Lum-
Der Company Camp.

Will Maxwell was shot and killed by
e. w. Daniels this morning about 9
O'Clock in the woods near the Gay
Lumber Company's camp while he was
a. work cutting timber. The camp is
about twenty-five miles from Kinston
near the Duplin county line, and is a
section not far from the scene of a
number Of homicides in recent years.
1t is said that undue intimacy on the
part of Maxwell with Daniels wife is
at the bottom Of the trouble. Maxwell
is reported to have been at Daniels
house last night and this morning DAN
1els tanked up and went to the woods
where Maxwell was at work and told
him that he had come to kill him. He
had a u on his shoulder and pointing
it at Maxwell told him that he was
going to shoot him.
Maxwell jumped behind a tree say
ing, Damn yOu, Shoot" wlfen Daniels

producing death instantly.
Daniels then took to the woods, and
although a posse has been after him all
n morning he is still at large at this
times o'clock.
Maxwell is a nephew of DR.. Maxwell,
Of Duplin county, who is well known
in Kinston.
Rumor has it thai the illicit relations
between Maxwell and Daniels wife had
existed for some time.-kinston Free

Pekin, September 4.-The severe
wounds inflicted upon two Americans
by French soldiers have created irdig-
nation against the policy Of German
and French commanders in ordering
their soldiers to carry side arms while
off duty.
After the German-Austrian affray
last May all of the foreign command
ers agreed 10 prohibit the carrying of
side arms While the men were outside
Of their posts. This agreement how
ever was overruled by the German
general and the soldiers of the Kaiser
were ordered to wear side arms and
their example was followed by the
French. All the other foreign soldiers
travel about unarned.
Witnesses of the affair yesterday de-
clare that the French were clearly the
aggreSSorS. The French commander
treats the matter lightly but a strong
request for the punishment Of the
guilty persons has beer made by Cap
tam Andrew Brewster, military at
tachee OF the American legation.

Because a man happens to be a MIN

fact if all the professional and busl-

more interest in politics the country
would be better off. But We do not

politics into the pulpit. We disapproVe
of the discussion of politics there. es-
ecialIy when such sentiments are ut
tered as those by Rev. Mr.. Massee, of
the Baptist Tabernacle in Raleigh last
Thursday. His words were as fol-
lows:
'"They accused Job of being unfair
and oppressive to the poorer classes.
I think the people of this country have
a whole lot to answer for the way

the time will come when there will De

equality, far from it. But the black

ing. L don't wonder that they steal
when they are paid such small SAL

ter gives warning against. Even II
the conditions exist as Mr.. Masser
describes, such language is not going
to ameliorate them. 1t will have no
influence for good on the white people
and Will have most baneful effect on
the negro. We say if such conditions
exist, but they do not. The negro

Dewey, of New Bern, N. G. Whatever
else the governor a failed in. he has
not forgotten some of the close friends
of his administration in the dlstribu-
ton Of his patronage"

The Times. Its comment is as fol-
lows
Mr.. w. Henry Bagley, Of Raleigh,
a brother-1n-laW of Mr.. Josephus
Daniels. was yesterday appointed by
the governor a director on the part
of the state for the Atlantic and
North Carolina railroad in place Of
T. W. Dewey, who has not returned
from his summer vacation. Mr.. Bag
ley is a nice young man, parts his
name as we'll as his hair nicely, has
nice kinfolks, and nice friends, but
-well-it might have been worse.

annual pasteboard and a rear seat in
the rear parlor car and let Goldsboro.
