Charlotte News.
One of the members of the Supreme
Court of the United States expressed d
the opinion that the right of appeal
in some cases should not be granted,
the cases specifically being those in
which some legal technicality was in
voked that had nothing to do with
theinnOcence orguilt of the prisoner.
The case that brings out that doe
trine, which by the way has already
been adopted in England, is the one
of Alfred Daniels, the muderer of
Senator Simmons aged father. The
fact was noted at the time that tie
Senator, in his sore trouble even,
stood for the preservation OF law and
order and that it was his infiuen, g
that probably prevented the swifte-
and surer vengeance OF the mob. But
the negro had fair trial, his guilt
was abundantly proved and he was
sentenced to be hanged. We under
stand, OF course, that the duty OF a
lawyer to his client is a very sacred
one, especially when that client was
as friendless as this negro probably
was. But it would seem that there
should be drawn somewhere by Il
lawyer the line between his duty to
his client and his obligation to the
public peace and welfare. When
every other recourse failed the at
torney for Daniels goes to the Su-
preme Court at Washington, with a
plea that we shall let the Washing
ton Post describe, making its COM
ment our own.
"And now, by way of discouraging
adherence to orderly judicial pro-
cesses, and, to the same extent, stim-
ulating mob violence, this attorney
comes to Washington seeking the
delay if not the total denial of justice.
It is not claimed that the accused is
innocent or that his crime is open to
the condonation of circumstances.
The plea is that the jury was COM
posed exclusively of white men! The
false and impudent inference sought |
to be suggested is, of course, evident |
enough. 1t is that the jury would
have been more honest and intelli-
gent and virtuous had it been consti
tuted in part or in whole OF negroes.
And the underlying proposition
equally impudent and preposterous-
is that the negro, as such, has an in
herent right to representation in the
jury box. The negroes complain
with bitter vociferation when q law
Or q custom differentiates them from
the whites in the matter OF social
privileges. Now they complain with
equal bitterness because the law does
not treat them as a race apart when
it comes to the impaneling OF iuries.
"We pass this silly and offensive
issue, understanding, as we do, that
the negro has been encouraged to it |
by his own devouring vanity and
the incendiary advice of so-called |
leaders. What we wish to point out |
is the perilous folly of discouraging
the law-abiding spirit and suggest
ing to the mob that the only way to
make sure of punishment in case of
crime is to inflict it then and there.
There will be-there can be-but one
result of convincing any cummunity
that it cannot depend or its protec-
ton upon the courts"

The Way to Build Up.
Raleigh Times.

Raleigh Times.
"Discussing loyalty to ones COM
munity and how to build up a city or
town, the Newport News Press says:
The entire philosophy OF municipal
growth and prosperity is wrapped up
in the theory OF utualco-operation.
There is no hope of building up great
manufacturing plants and splendid
stores unless our people patronize
and encourage those already in exist
ence.' These propositions are sound
to the core and are to be commended
to the people of Richmond for
thoughtful consideration" - Times
Dispatch.
The above sentiment is worthy to
be repeated. A house divided against
itself cannot stand, is a truism found
ed upon the most indisputable prin-
ciple. When the inmates of a home
fail to get on we'll, there is little hap
piness and little prosperity in the
household. In union there is strength
and hope, We happened to notice
the population of Newport News re-
Gently, and, to our surprise, found it
put down at "a 900 inhabitants. 1t
was, no doubt, the spirit which is
above commended that accounts for
the great prosperity of the town.

NEGRO A Menace.
Northern States May be Obliged to
Take Measures to Protect Them
selves Against African Intrusion.

Danville Register.
1t appears that there is a reason
in the minds of some people in Penn
sylvania for objecting to negro dis
franchismenti in States further South,
which is just now finding expression.
Referring to the probable disfran-
chisement ofnegroes in Maryland, the
Philadelphia Record has this to say:
''The move in Maryland to disfran-
chise''negroes, following upon disfran-
chisement in Virginia, is not without
peril to the people of Pennsylvania,
if, as result OF it, there shall be
further African invasion of this State.
Our heavy ssnegro vote is already "a
political misfortune, contributing
potentially towards the continuance
OF misgovernment. It is also an un-
deniable fact that the safety of life
and property has been put at greater
hazard in the southern and eastern
counties Of Pennsylvania by the drift
northward OF an undesirable negro
element. 1t is quite possible that in
the near future the people of this
State may be obliged to take meas
ures to protect themselves against
further African intrusion"
1t is observable that in all this
there is nothing like an argument
against negro disfranchisement. On
the contrary, what is said rather
tends to justify it. What Virginia
has done, and the action which
Maryland may take are deplored in
Pennsylvania, because such legisla-
tion tends to send more negroes into
that State. 1t is admitted that
they are not wanted in Pennsylvania,
and especially are they not wanted
as voters. This virtually justifies
the disfranchising acts in the States
where negroes were 80 numerous as
to make the problem one of vital i'm
portance. The Records view of the
subject is a very novel one to come
from Philadelphia. 1t tends to prove
what we said once before, that in
some sense the negro is an educator.
By his presence in the North he is
producing convictions which could
not have been producedin any other
way.

The People Make the Town.
Scotland Neck Commonwealth.


We have seldom seen more truth
packed into one paragraph about
town building and town improve
ment than in the following from the
Goldsboro Argus: ct is perfectly
natural that outsiders who have cap
ital to invest and who are seeking a
congenial atmosphere in which to
live. should expect some manifesto
tion of public spirit and civic pride
from those who are already residents
of a city or town. 1.-THE citizens them
selves show no interest and loyalty
in their own town they can scarcely
expect others from outside to enthuse
over it. Local pride and patriotism
have wholesome influence upon Wis
itors and encourage them to recognize
the good points OF a place. Every
city and town is what it's citizens
make it. In other words, the people
make the town. And they very otter
unmake it."

Wherein has the Situation Improved

Raleigh Times.
The jugs delivered Oh the S. A. l..
used to come from the South, but
since the decision on the anti-iug
law, they come from the North, and
that's the only difference, so we learn
The amount OF whiskey shipped is
just about the same. The distiller
who formerly shipped it from a point
in this State, to stations along the
road, now ships it in a car to a point
just over the State line and has it re-
shipped to his former customers.
This can not be helped of course, for
State cannot interfere with inter-
State business. The law which has
been recommended to pass Congress
becomes of no effect because it pro-
vides that whiskey may be shipped
for personal use. 1t is probable that
nine-tents OF all whiskey shipped in
this way is for "personaluse" and so
the law, il indeed it shall become a
law is practically a dead letter.

Do Your Best For Your Child.

Every fair-minded man desires to
give to his children and the children
OF his neighbor better advantages
than he himself enjoyed. Wherever
good roads make it possible, it is
entirely feasible now to substitute
for the little school house of one
room and one teacher a consolidated
school house with half a dozen teach
ers. The school house of one room
and one teacher was good, and we
are here in bodily presence to testify
to that good; but the consolidated
school house of half a dozen rooms
and half a dozen teachers is vastly
superior, and We want to secure that
for our children and the children of
