REASONS Fur A PARDON
AND A COMPUTATION.
Roscoe Murrow Would Soon Die, and There is
Doubt About Wick in the Minds Of
the Jury.

The Governor yesterday gave out his
reasons for the pardoning of Roscoe Muir
row and the committing of the sentence
of Fred. Wick.
Roscoe Murrow is the young white man
who was convicted in the Guilford county
court in February 1902 of carnally know
Of age and sentenced to seven years on the
county roads.
The reasons for the pardon are as fol-
lows:
1.-The prisoner is pardoned at the request
of more than three thousand citizens of
Guilford and Randolph counties and upon
the certificate of physicians that his health
has been greatly impaired by imprison-
ment, and that longer confinement will re-
suit in his death The doctor makes affi-
davit that prisoner is a wreck; that he
has disease of the heart which incapacitates
him from work, the heart being greatly
enlarged. He has become almost entirely
blind in one eye, while the vision in the
other eye is greatly impaired. The crime
with which he stands convicted is a hor-
rible one and justly deserves the severest
punishment, but it is not believed that
elJneF Justice OF puDIC OplilOu ltuulISo
the death penalty in this case and it APP
pears to be certain that longer confinement
will lead to this result. 1t also appears
that the offence committed by prisoner
was done several years before his indict-
ment, and that he was not indicted until
after he had married. His conviction and
imprisonment have brought to wreck his
young and innocent wife, who from a
strong, healthy woman has been reduced
by suffering until she weighs today only
eighty pounds. 1t seems to me in view
of all the facts and circumstances that
justice has been met and the hour for
mercy has come"
Fred. Wick is the young negro convict
ed of rape upon colored woman at the
November, 1902 term of the Wayne county
court, and sentenced to be hanged at
Goldsboro on May 18th. On May 9Th he
was respited until the 30th, and few
days ago, as published at the time, the
sentence was committed to life imprison-
ment.
Here are the Governors reasons for the
Communication:
1.-The death penalty in this case is COM
muted to imprisonment in the penitentiary
at hard labor for life This course is taken
at the earnest request of all the jury who
tried him, some of them expressing grave
doubt as to the contamination of the pur-
pose of the prisoner. Many of the best
citizens of the county have earnestly
joined in the request. 1t appears from

GEOGRAPHY.

Geography is a great and essential
study. The modern method of object
teaching applies fully as strongly to this
"a any other branch of education. The
method of observation is travel and it IS
well that the teacher of today employ
largely his or her vacation period in this
direction. There are, no doubt, many
teachers who have explored nearby sur
roundings and are this year thinking of
more distant lands, some even going 10
Europe, but many more are looking for
some trip not so expensive, In either time
or money and yet want to get away from
the old haunts. A trip to the British
Maritime Provinces supplies this desire.
This is in reality trip to a foreign
country and the manners and customs
are of as much interest as those OF more
distant lands. Many look upon Halifax
as a little London and In the country
districts are many settlements decidedly
foreign. In Cape Breton there are whole
villages, the natives of which still speak
in the Gaelic tongue. The scenery, the
climate, the people and the trip are all
an education and inspiration in them
selves. If interested, send for booklets
describing them. Address, j. A. Flanders,
Passenger Agent, 20 Atlantic Avenue,

LIGHTNING sHELlE9THE CORN.
A Peculiar Experience Of Or. Herring From
Lightning

The Kcnansyille correspondent of the
Duplin Journal vouches for the following.
.'Dr. J. c. ID. Herring, one of our most
versatile and distinguished citizens, had
a singular experience during the storm
SUNDAY night. He was in the act of feed
ing his horse, and was carrying several
ears of corn on his hand, when deafen
ing peal of thunder, followed by blind
ing flash of lightning, so dazed him, that
for several minutes he was only partly
conscious. When he recovered, to ms
engagement he found that every grain of
corn had been shelled from the cobs,
while the cobs remained in tact, in his
arms. After Smelling the corn the light
ming ran down his person till it reached
his feet, which, strange to say, were not
injured at all. His Shoes however hao
during the mix up" become polished in
the highest style of art. There were no
witnesses to this strange occurrence, but
no one who knows the DR.. can doubt It,

The Northern Capitalists Who Have Driven

Well of the Road.

1t now looks more favorable for the
building of railroad from Raleigh to
washington. The last Legislature granted
liberal charter for the construction of
the railroad meeting was held and
quite number of one thousand dollar
subscriptions were made to the stock.
Latterly little has been heard Of the pro-
jected railroad, but Capt. ]. M. Turner
and Mr.. Claude Barbee. leading spirits in
the enterprise, have been working to in
terest Northern capital.
News now comes that the two North
ern capitalists, Judge Benedict and Mr..
Beach, Of New York, who with Capt Tur-
ner and Mr.. Barber. have driven over
every mile of the road, are greatly i'm
pressed with the possibilities Of building
a road that viii pay handsomely. OF
course they have not yet given out any
thing for publication, but they expressed
themselves as above stated.
These gentlemen left Raleigh some days
ago They held conferences with promi-
nent citizens at Wakefield, Wilson, Farm

was expressed by business men, manufac-

NC NAMES DON'T CHANGE,
Copy Of Census for 1890 Just Received by Judge
Clark From government.

Chief Justice Walter Clark S IN possess
sion of copy Of the u. S. census of 1880
for North Carolina, containing the names
of the people in the different counties OF
the State.
Some time ago Judge Clark, in his work
on the State Records, found that he need
ed this information and he applied to the
United States Government at Washing
ton for copies of the census of 1890, which
preserved the names of thirty thousand
householders in North Carolina in that
year The Secretary of Interior replied
that the paper was so old and worn that
he was not wilnng to have copies made.
Judge Clark then drew an act requiring
copies to be furnished and sent it to Sem
ator Simmons, who got it through the
Senate. Then Representative Kluttz got
it passed by the House, and yesterday
through Governor Aycock, Judge Clark
received from the Secretary of the Into
rior the entire list of the names on that
census of 1890 for this State except in the
counties of Orange, Caswell and Gran
vile
Those counties have been lost, but Judge
Clark has supplied their place by getting
copies of the tax lists in those2counties for
1890. These will be printed, together with
the list just received from Washington,
in volume % of the State Records.
An examination of the list of names in
an ycounty would make one believe almost
that it was roll of the present inhab-
itants. The same family and Christian
names having been handed down un-
changed for hundred and ten years.
