FRIDAY. OCTOBER 80.
CHALLENGES TO JURORS IN CAPI-
TAI CASES

The Messenger had something to say
yesterday about the disadvantages
under which the state labored in the
selecting of juries in capital cases and
advocated amendment of the present
law 50 as to put the prosecution and
the defense ON more equal terms in
this matter. This is an important
question and should be discussed by
the press and the people of the state.
We are glad to see that some of the
newspapers have already taken up the
matter We quote below from the
columns of two ably and conservative
~ edited papers of our state on this
subject and We are pleased to see
that both agree with The Messenger
that there should be a change in his
law. We clip the following from The
Statesville Landmark:
The Progressive Farmer. in discuss
ing the failure of justice IN the courts,
thinks that one great deficiency is
that he defendant in a capital case
has tWenty-three challenges in select
ing h jury while the state has only
four, an which permits a
shrewd lawyer to select just the sort
OF jury he wants. In many states the
state and the defense have an equal
number of challenges, while in only d
few is the disparity so great as it is
In North Carolina The Farmer says:
"tEqualize the number of challenges
Give the state the right of appeal.
These reforms ought to be discussed
in the press and on the platform
throughout North Carolina, the
next general assembly should put
- +rIKo ~T-- - -
painful truth that our present system
encourages crime, weakens respect
for law. fosters lynching, and men
aces the peace and safety of u citi-
zens. Let US still give the prisoner
his twelve chances to one before the
jury. but if the public is not to lose
the power of self-protection, it must
be on a equal footing with the GRIM
inal in selecting the jury and in
righting the wrOng brought about by
unjust rulings or corrupt PRACTICES
When ShemWell was acquitted OF
the murder of DR.. Payne, at Lexirs-
ton, the state press rang with just as
much indignation as has been express
ed on account of the verdict in the
Haywood case. The State Press AssO-
citation which met at Greensboro,
soon after the trial, adopted a resolu-
ton calling on the legislature to
change the law which gives he prls-
one so great an advantage The leg
islature ignored the request. At the
last session of the Legislature Mr..
King. of Pitt, introduced a similar
measure. The judiciary committee,
composed of lawyers of course. smooth
cred Kings bill and it was never
heard of again. So long as the law
yers control the legislature the press
and pulpit may shout themselves black
in the face at the injustice-but the
law won't be changed-Unless there is
such an uprising as to brighten the
politicians. So far the uprising is not
in sight"

CONFEDERATE REUNION At Pc
TERSBURG CRATER.

on November 9Th tie veterans Of
Mahone's brigade Will hold a reunion
in Petersburg to commemorate the
battle Of the Crater. Those in charge
have received kilograms from sur

monies. This indicates q larger rep

To the promoters of the reunion. The
presence of these Old veterans from

est and pleasure to the OCCASION. We
do not believe in keeping alive the
animOsities engendered by the war be-
tween the state, but we do believe
in preserving in the memoir of COM
ing generations the heroic deeds OF
the men who wore the gray and of
keeping in their hearts a love for
those who gave their lives for their
country: and this can be lone in no
better way than by these social re-
unions where the old soldiers meet 70
renew former friendship and 10 keep
green in their memories and hand
down to their children the stirring
events of those fearful days. These re-
unions increase in the younger gen
Grafton their love for the confederate
soldier and keep alive their adInira-
ton for his heroic deeds. By all
means let as man. confederates as
