Later Prof. Norton said: "To-

were told by the authorities in

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.
Is Human Life Cheap Twelve
Months for Stealing Corn
Twelve Months for Killing
a Man.
Statesville Landmark.

Neal, an aged colored man was
convicted of the larceny of a
quantity of corn and sentenced
to the chain gang for a year.
Judge Neal refused to change the
sentence at the request of coun.
sci and then the prisoner asked
to say word. He made a pite
Gus appeal for change of SEN
tence, saying he was so old and
feeble that it would kill him to
work on the chain gang, but ask
ed that he might be hired out
instead. He did not deny that
he stole or make excuses, except
to say that he was feeble and had
been "touched in the head" and
he was sure it would kill him to
do the hard and constant work
required on the chain gang. The
appeal moved the spectators and
the court and the sentence was
changed so that the old man
could be hired out by the COM
missioners instead of being sent
to~the roads.
The change was creditable to
Judge Neal. In that same court
room and before that same Judge,
within the past twelve months,
white man was tried for mur
der. He had gone ui:biddeu into
the home of another man and
engaged in un8eemly conduct
When the head of the house or
dered him ont, as he had a right
to do, the intruder stopped to
argue that he was "gentleman,"
and when the husband and father
undertook to put him out, as he
had right to do, he was shot
and killed in his own home. For
this crime, one Of the most in
famous under the circumstances
ever committed in the State, the
offender was convicted of man.
slaughter and given five years in
the penitentiary. Five years for
killing a man in his own home,
while he was trying to protect
his home. One year for stealing
corn. Is human life cheap?
Ucra IS another case. In Dur
ham a few weeks ago an old man
was arrested for drunkenness.
He was put in The cell with an
other prisoner. a young man, who
had also been locked up for
drunkenness. Without any prov
ocatiou whatever--so the pub
ished reports said at the time
jhe young man fell ON the help
less old man and beat him so
that he died a few hours later.
The taking of human life in this
case was wanton and The only
eNcuse--whIch is not an excuse
in either law or morals-was that
the murderer was drunk. OF
course under our law he could
not be convicted of murder in the
first degree, because evidence Of
premeditation was lacking. So
In Durham Superior court last
week he was allowed to plead
guilty Of manslaughter and Judge
o. III. Allen sentenced him to
twelve months or the Durham
county roads.

PLANT OF EXTENSIVE PROPORTIONS
Is That of Dubois & Bond Brothers. Saw Milf o.
orators, Whose Works are Located In
Garrett County.

Lying off from Piedmont about ten
miles in the very heart of the ancient
woods of Garrett county, Md, there
is to day located the largest lumber
concern in all this country round
about, a plant more extensive and
magnificent in proportions than any
of the oldest inhabitants hereabouts
ever imagined.
The place is at Bond, off on the
Savage River Railroad, Just down
from "Crattree" on the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, the latter place six
miles or so from Piedmont, the former
some four or five miles down the grade
and farther on.
The initial work of the Dubois 4

which the daily output is the full cap

Shipments are regular. The trade
is exceedingly good. Especially is
this so as to the local trade. In many
lines the mill can't work fast enough
to supply the demand at times. Dis

All this management is in the in

That is, the building of the railroad,

planning the Layout: of the whole
venture, etc. More than one hundred
thousand dollars were spent in the en-
terprise before the firm began to see
any returns. But the faith each one
possessed, and the energy each one
was ready to display, foretold the sue

acres or more now being worked have
had but few holders. 1t is the land
taken up principally by Ex-Gov.

of General Anderson, then on to Mr..
M. NJ. Armstrong, and finally into
possession of the present owners.

some years, it is only necessary to
point out the fact that a regular track

in number, is kept in constant en-
ployment doing nothing but lay new
lines off in every direction from the
main stem that strikes through the
center of the region, and keep in good

convenience is resOrted to make these
men comfortable and contented.
Some conception of the care taken in
these camps in the matter of cleanli-
ness can be seen when it is found that
in each and all of these camps the men
are provided with either single or
double iron bedsteads, steel springs.
mattresses, and the cleanest of bed
clothing. No hunks are built for the
men to sleep in, but good sound bed
steads provided for their hours of rest.
The most novel, as well as the most
useful, piece of apparatus or machin-
cry used in connection with the whole
plant is perhaps the ingenious engine
out in these woody districts called
the Barnhardt's Log Crane or Log
Loader. This is a monster in size. but
is handled as easily as the most deli
cate piece of machinery in any work
shop. Trees are cut and logs are
sawed, then it is only necessary to
roll the latter within reasonable
distance of the log loader, when the
massive piece of timber, that will
perhaps cut up into one thousand feet
of lumber, is reached for with the
chain and ''grabbers," and 10, it's
done i'll the twinkling of an eye; the
log is lifted from the ground and
swung to its place on the cars. Like
clock work the work goes on, until in
a very little while car after car is
piled mountain high almost with logs,
short and long, large and small, heavy
and light. On an average more than
twelve loads a day are thus handled
and run into the mill district proper.
Out here in the woods there is as much
system and order to the smallest de-
tail as anywhere else in the whole es-
tablishment. Everyone knows his
place and his work and there is no
iostling or confusion. Beside the
