the arduous task if all the direct OF

OF Orange, (1722-1799,) who have any
records or traditions of any form or kind

Common pride of a study, honest, and

INNOcENr MEN SELDOM vONVIl
TED,

There is tradition that an old fashioned
North Carolina Judge in charging the jury
in an aggravated case, who had been asked
in his charge to repeat the maxim, ''it Is
better that ninety nine guilty men should
escape than that one innocent man should
be punished" promised to do so. When he
came to that portion of his charge he en-
phasized the question and added: but 1
tell you. gentlemen of the jury, that the
ninety-nine guilty men have already es-
capped, and it is nowhere said that the
hundredth guilty man shall be acquitted"
1t is a rare thing for an innocent man to
be convicted. We have never known a
case, though we have heard of few. In
his charge to the grand Jury at Kinston
this week, Judge Brown dwelt upon the
fact that ''reasonableness of doubt does
not mean any doubt at all, but the doubt
arising in the minds of reasonable men. .
The Kinston Free Press quotes a portion
OF the judges charge and adds:
Along this line His Honor sand that
though he endorsed the maxim of the law
which says that it were better to turn
loose ninety-nine guilty men than to con-
vict one innocent, that there was nothing
in it to alarm juror as during his seven
teen years practicing at the bar and fiji
teen years on the bench he had never
known a man whom he believed innocent
convicted in court
The Judge might truly have added that
he had seen many very guilty men ac-
quilted, for that happens all too often in
North Carolina and other States.

AN UN UeUAL CAREER.
Big salaried Minister Leaves Episcopal Church
for the Methodist
Salisbury SUM-


In the Western North Carolina Confer
ence, just closed at High Point, many
changes took place which IN the order Of
things, had to be.
There is little story Of still another
change which must prove interesting.
Last week Rev. Thos Edward Wine
Golf, a gentleman born and reared not
many miles from here. the highest honor
man who ever went out from Davidson
College up to his time of graduation (1S9O
we belleve), presented his name to the
conference and was accepted.
Nor is this unusual, but back OF it is
another story.
Mr.. Wlnecoff was reared Presbyterian.
He is a kinsman of Rev DR.. Rumple.
Reared in adverse circumstances he drove
his way through college and crowned
himself with bays. After entering the
ministry, If we do not mistake, Mr.. Wine
coff preached in the Methodist and then
went to the Episcopal church. For some
time. he ministered in Mississippi under
the great Bishop Hugh Miller Thompson3
and the Bishop was his patron SAINT IN
theology. From Mississippi he came to
North Carolina and was rector for two
years of the Chapel of the Cross at
Chapel Hill. The University boys were
very devoted to him and he to them
From the University Of North Carolina
he went to the University of West Vir-
ginia, was there some time and then to
Washington State. From this place he
came back a short time Ca few days. ago
and joined the Methodist church and its
conference.
Mr.. Winecoff was seen for a moment
this morning by the reporter who is a per-
sonal friend and an ecclesiastical
protege of his. Asking him when he
eft Washington, he said "a few days
ago"
Il noticed" the reporter continued,
that you have joined the Methodist con-
ference?" yes" added Mr.. Winecoff, 81

$4,000 church in my pocket, the largest
Episcopal church in the Northwest and
came down here to take Franklin Sta
ton I think I'll be given credit for
sincerity"
81 think so too, and sympathize with q
man who makes such a sacrifice" the
reporter then continued.
Mr. Winecoff asked, Where is Dr. Rum
ole? he is cousin of mine"
After being told this, he boarded the
train for his station at Franklin There
will be much speculation Is to this re-
markable career. Mr.. Winecoff was every
where known as an exceedingly brilliant

THE REAL TEST

Ough Trial.

There is only one test by which to
judge Of the efficiency Of any article
and that is by its ability to do that
which it Is intended to do. Many hair
vigors may look nice and smell nice.
but the point is-do they eradicate Dan
druff and stop falling hair?
No, they do not. but Herpicide does.
because it goes to the root Of the evil
and kills the germ that attacks the
papilla from whence the hair gets its
life.

MAYJk POWELL Is nLaHr.

Mayor Powell is exactly right in his
expression of opinion about the sugges'
ton Of two dispensaries for Raleigh. He
is quoted as saying:
my opinion is that one dispensary
would be sufficient for Raleigh Any
way / think we should begin with one
and If necessary increase the number"
There may be difference of opinion as
to the law among lawyers, but every
body knows that the men who voted for
the dispensary desired only one. To es-
tai lish more than one, even If lawful,
would be to run counter to the wishes
Of a majority of nearly two hundred OF
the voters of Raleigh.
Why should the Board of Aldermen per-
nit two dispensaries? Every member OF
the board knows that the people of Raj
eigh voted for only one. They know that
more than one would be established in the
face of the earnest protest of the temper
ance forces in Raleigh, and will tend to in
crease the consumption of alcoholic drinks.
There is no demand in Raleigh for the pro-
posed additional dispensary except from
those who want jobs in it or who want to
defeat the objects of the temperance
forces. Why should that small class be
favored and the wishes of the best people
IN Raleigh be outraged? Why invite liti-
CATION that will certainly follow the at
tempted establishment of more than one !?

Five divorces were secured in Wilson
Superior court one day this week, ard
it wasn't good day for divorces either.
The only reason any North Carolinian
goes to Sioux City. South Dakota, to
secure a divorce is to avoid publicity
at home. If North Carolina lawyers could
advertise Divorces Secured Without Pub
licity" this state might share the d.
vorce business with South Dakota.
