Not Fit to Hold Office.
News and Courier.

In bds letter. priated yesterday
Mr.. Thomas z. C0thran recalls
the fact duels continued in the
State and juries acquitted the
slayer in such affairs after his
crime had been pronounced mur
der by statute, but when Col.
Cash was killed "the extreme ex-
erc'se OF preventive measures was
invoked and the constitutional
amendment known as the anti
duelling oath was adopted" He
adds:
cit was the expression of the
outraged public sentiment of the
State, that man who would VIC
late the law he had sworn not
only to uphold, but to obey, was
not fit person to hold office in
this State. The fear of death did
not deter, the fear of fines did
not restrain, but the certainty of
inellgibility to Office has had the
desired effect and not a duel has
since occurred in the State.
have yet to see in any brave
and honorable man an apologist
even, much less an advocate, of
the practice of carrying concealed
weapons. If duellisL j. n0t fit
in law or morals to holu flee,
how much lower in the scale of
eligibility must be the walking
arsenal
Let the General Assembly pro
vide for an oath upon the subject
of carrying concealed weapons,
by constitutional amendment if
necessary, similar to the anti
duelling oath, and at least an ad-
ditional safe guard, if not remedy,

GUILTY OF MURDER IN THE
SECOND DEGREE.
Wilcox Sentenced to Peniten
tiary for 30 Years, the
Full Limit OF
the Law.

Charlotte, N. O., January 21-
After being out for "a hours, the
jury IN the Wilcox murder case
at Uertford, N. c., at 2 o'clock
this evening returned verdict
of murder In the second degree,
and the defendant was sentenced
to the penitentiary for 80 years,
the full limit Of the law. Will.
cox's attorneys gave notice that
an appeal will be taken to the
supreme court. The prisoner will
be returned to Jail at Elizabeth
City, where his alleged crime was
committed, to await the orders Of
the court.
The jury sent word to the sher-
iff al II O'clock last night that il
desired that the charge be repeat
ed to them. This was done this
morning at 9 80 o'clock.
In sentencing the prisoner
Judge w. B. Council SAID in
part:
"The jury have seen fit to re-
turn o verdict Of murder IN the
second degree. They have found
that the defendant took the life
Of Miss Cropsey through malice
but without generalization aod
deGberation. BY what process
Of reasoning they arrived at this
conclusion il is not for me to cav.
/ regard their action, however. in
the light that they have beoN as
charitable to the defendant rs
possible in the light of the evi-
dence in the case as they viewed
it, and resolved all doubt upon
the question Of premeditation
and daliberation in favor or the
defendant, If guilty, think he
deserves the full limit of the
law"
The prisoner was called upon
at the jail after tho verdict. He
was very pleasant TO the reporter
but said he did not care 10 talk
Of his case.
