THE LAW AFFORDS PRACTICALLY
NO PROTECTION.
Durham Herald.

Durham Herald.
This thing OF killing people upon
slight provocation is becoming
alarming, the law affords little pro-
lection. If it had been absolutely
certain that hanging would follow
a murder the tragedies at Charlotte
and Raleigh would not have occurred.

Human Life To Cheap.
Monroe Enquirer

Monroe Enquirer.
Human life in this State is getting
to be too cheap and murder is entire
ly too common. 1t is said that it is
better that ninety-nine guilty men
should escape than that one innocent
man should bepunished. The ninety
ninth guilty man has escaped and it
is time something was done to put
check to so much murder. A mans
life is worth more than five years in
the penitentiary. We need to get
back to the old landmarks and de-
mand an eve for an eye, a tooth for
tooth, a life for a life So long as
our courts let off red-handed muir
derers with few years in the peni-
tentiary SO long will the murderer
shoot down his victim, knowing that
there is no death penalty for him.
