mpUdent Negro Says He'd Rather
Go to Pen Than on the Roads.
(Tarboro Southerner.)

Isham Blue, who has been sentenc-
ed to two years on the roads for break
ing into the store of w. j. Lancaster,
asked the Judge to send him to the
penitentiary even If he made the sem
tence twice as long. He gave as his
reason for this request the cruelty of
Frank Ruffin who has charge of the
road force.
That prisoners are logged when
they fail to work or misbehave is gen.
orally known, but this is the first
charge that we have heard of cruelty
and we are disposed to discredit it in
toto. Mr.. Rutfin is not cruel by ma
ture He believes in work and insists
upon those under him doing it, but that
he would numerically treat one, we
do not believe.
Blues statement unless cOrrObOrat-
ed by reliable testimony should be
given scant consideration. He is prob
ably a worthless impudent scamp.
Without the slightest cause when Dep
uty Sheriff Bailey was taking him from
the court room to the Jail he became
insulting and abusive to that gentle
man, so much so that it was pity
that he was not on the road force
where he could receive fair appl1-
cation of "strap oil.

to be in keeping with the artistic
prospect and the melody is expressed
in songs as varied in sentiment as the
many colored light effects. Ebony
faced minstrel men in long purple
coats and high purple hats commingle
with white-faced minstrel in immacu-
late silks and satins.

Legislature of 1899 an act which
created the discrimination in favor of
the officers and trustees of the IN
stitution for the Deaf, Dumb and
Blind. This act was chapter $40 OF
the laws of that year and was entitled
AN act to amend section 1927 and
section 1929 of The Code" The two
sections of the Code referred to IN
the title were simply those providing
for a board of trustees for the North
Carolina Institution for the Deaf,
Dumb and Blind, and classified them.
The act added four new trustees. but
it also contained the following:
provided, that the provisions OF
chapter SAB, PuMic Laws of North
Carolina for the year 1897 shall not
apply to the members of the said
board of trustees"
In such manner was the old prin-
ciple laid down in section 1011 of
the Code repealed in favor of a par
ticular set of gentlemen who were also
relieved of the provisions and by in
ference authorized to ether into the
transactions prohibited by the highly
penal statute of the year 1897!
For four years, or until the Legisla-
ture of 1908, the exemption of the
Board of Trustees of the Deaf, Dumb
and Blind from the restrictions thrown
about the transactions of all other in
stitutional officers continued. In that
year the fact became known and
Raleigh lawyer interested himself in
preparing and having passed "a bill
to remedy the discrimination, believ-
ing it to be unjust and that it had
been passed by the Legislature through
an oversight. This bill was entitled
AN act to prevent determinations
among directors and trustees of State
its purpose was frankly
declared and it was passed without
dissenting vote. This act which was
chapter $50 of the Laws of 1903, abro-
gated in terms the special privilege
to the trustees of the Deaf, Dumb and
Blind Institution which had been
granted by the Act of 1899 1t was
then supposed that the matter had
been settled definitely and it was only
at a comparatively recent date that IL
was discovered that the same persist
ent influence had been at work dur
ing the last Legislature and had AGAIN
secured for the trustees of the par
ticular institution an exemption from
the provisions of the general law en-
loved by none other in the State. Like
the previous act of similar tenor, the
bill which passed the last Legislature
had a misleading title and 1t is doubt
full whether anv member of the Leg
islatllre was aware of its real charac-
ter.
The Old Exemption Revived.
That act. which is chapter o. or the

CHAPTER 81.
An Act for the Better Government OF
the North Carolina Institution fol
the Education OF the Deaf anC
Dumb and the Blind.

The General Assembly of North Caro-
lima do enact:
Section l. That the provisions of
chapter five hundred and forty of the
Public Laws of North Carolian. SEES
sion of. one thousand eight hundred
and ninety-nine to increase the num-
Der of the members of the board of
directors of the North Carolina in
stitution for the education of the deaf
and dumb and the blind, to regulate
their duties and privileges and to pro
vide for their successors be re-enacted:
Provided, that the successor of one OF
the additional members shall be APP
rpointed for q term of six years; the
successors of two of them shall be ap-
pointed for a term of four years, and
the successor of the fourth one shall
be appointed for a term of two years
from the first of March. one thous-
and nine hundred and five: Provided
further. that their successors. at the
expiration of their respective terms
of office, shall be appointed for terms
of six years: And provided further.
that the directors so appointed snail
hold until their successors are APP
pointed and qualified.
Sec. 2. That the provisions of sec
ton one, chapter seven hundred and
seven, Public Laws of North Carolina,
session of one thousand nine hundred
and one, shall apply in the appoint
ment and confirmation of the said dl-
rectors. provided for in section one of
this act.
Sec 8. That all laws and sections
of laws in conflict with the provisions
of this act are hereby repealed.
Sec. A. This act shall be in force
from and after its ratification.
In the General Assembly read three
times. and ratified this the 30th day
of January, A. ID. 1905.
DeIusive Titles.
1t will be observed that the title
of this act gives no hint of what is
its most far-reaching purpose nor does
the wording of the first section reveal
in the slightest degree that the stat
ute being re-enacted had to do other
than with the number of the board of
trustees. The first act granting the
special exemption having been passed
under a misleading title, the act by
which it is re-esta blished after re-
peal. itself under a title which is
meaningless as to the most important
of it's provisions, accomplishes the
resurrection in terms which cut off
the light!
Popularity, it will be held that the
| title For the better government OF
| the North Carolina Institution for the
| Deaf, Dumb and Blind not only does
not reveal the effect of the act which
| it heads, but is rather Numerically
opposed to what the first section tends
| to accomplish.
