The twelve good men and true re-

All that afternoon, that night and for
the greater part of the next day, their

Vaughan was put upon his trial In
another case of embezzlement, grow

almost parallel to those on which the
contention of the State was based in,

But the point of this story is that
when the first jury retired the first
vote stood eleven for acquittal and
however, did not prove himself the
master in argument that he would ap-
pear at first blush to be. He held out
all that afternoon, however, all that
night and hours into the following day.
He was impervious to the pleadings
of the eleven, and by an accident he
prevailed in the end. Tired and mis-
cradle the jury filed from its room
during the hearing of the second trial
to take exercise. A witness was on
the stand. AS the jury marched
through the court room they heard
the evidence of this witness in a case
which had nothing to do with that on
which they were sitting, but in which
the defendant was the same. Light
burst upon the eleven. They went
again to their room. 1t is said that
they hoisted their window and list

saying yesterday afternoon. They were

their names erased

take my name off of the petition
There are others. Some of them are
too busy to run down the petition
toters to have their names erased, but
if the petition ever gets to the Board
of Aldermen they will demand that it
be erased before any election is Or
dered. And when that petition is
finally made public-for it is going to
be printed in full in The News and
Observer when it can be procured so
that all the people can scan every
name-if it is ever made public, you
will find that many persons have
signed who have no right whatever to
vote and of course their names Will
not count.

Mayor Johnson yesterday. the rate of

tleman who was strongly opposed to

There is not going to be any election.
All this talk about having nearly
enough names is mere buncombe and
bluff. There may be 400 names on
the petitions, or they may show more,
but fully one-third of the names are
of people who cannot vote and there
fore have no right r. petition for an
election. If they dared to give you
the list of names to print in The News
and Observer, the whole town would
see that they are playing big game
of bluff.
why do they do this? Don't they
know the Board of Aldermen Will
closely scrutinize every name. and such
claims would be exposed" l asked.
You don't understand" he said.
They hope to get enough names by
claiming to have 400 or 500 already.
They go to people and say: See here.
we have 500 names. Everybody is
signing, and We are certain to win.
Look what big list we have And
it does look big. The average man
does not stop to see that it is padded
with names of persons who cannot
vote. He is impressed with the popu-
larity of the thing, and if he is not
very we'll set in his ways. he says We'll

IMMIGRATION WORK

1t is evident that this legislature will

to repeat the. failures and mistakes Of
the past, but to profit by practical ex-
perience.
The reason why the state inmigra-
ton bureau was discontinued was be-
cause it had become inefficient and
effete. The post had degenerated into
mere sinecure, filed by somebody
who issued annually a perfunctory doc
ument full of abstract essays and news
paper clippings printed at the public
expense, and threw vast quantities of
it around promiscuously In the hope
that some of them would light where
they would do good. This did not bring

weary of it. Therefore, we have had no
official work for immigration for many
years past.
If a state board is created for this
purpose we are almost certain to go
over the we'll trodden ground of failure
once more. We do not need a board at
Fal. If we need anything it is one ac-
tive, energetic, efficient state official
whose duties shall be thoroughly de-
fined by statute, and who will be
pledged to perform them. The rail-
way. No state has ever done such eff
fective work for immigration as the
transcontinental lines have accom-
plished within the last few years. They
do not have cumbrous boards. They do
not scatter seed broadcast in order that
some of it somewhere may spring up
and mature. They have very carefully
amassed facts. and they have seen that
those facts reached the people who
might be affected by them. They have
sent their agents into communities
from which they expected to draw set
At}ers, and seen that their documents
reached those people. They have done
their work by the direct agency of per-
sonal representatives, and not by
throwing wad of money into the dis
tribution Of pamphlet literature. They
have achieved success.
If the state wants to encourage i'm
migration, let it follow the same lines.
Let it consult with the railroads that
have been most successful and copy
their methods. Let it secure as COM
missioner Of immigration not some man
with a political pull, but some man
who has been in the business and
knows all it's details. Let them discard
the idea of a board altogether. Let
them make their appropriation apply
to field work rather than to bills for
printing and stationery. This kind of
an immigration department might
amount to something and bring a lot of
new blood and capital into the state
Any other kind will be simply a waste
of money for the purpose of creating a

OCCIDENTAL VS.. ORIENTAL
METHODS OF ASSAULT

It is pleasing to observe that an ex-
ponent Of the manly art according to
our canons has stood on end to de-
fend the science Of fisticuffs as prac-
ticed in the ring, which has been
rather vigorously attacked by some en-
terprising gentlemen who seek the
royal road to fortune by exploiting the
Japanese game of jiu jitsu. The ire of
the professor having been aroused by
the announcement that jiu jitsu is to
be adopted at the Annapolis naval
academy, he proceeds to point out that
the Japanese science of assault would
be useless if attempted on the person
of man trained to boxing; that the
boxer could punch the Yellow Peril out
of all semblance to any sort of human
peril before the art of jiu jitsu could
be applied. And those to whom it has
been given to see Prof. James J. Cor
bett punch a bag will agree with the
other professor that the Jap would
have bad time staying inside the
ropes long enough to break Prof. Cor
belts arm or choke him beyond the
possibility of debating to a typewriter.
1t would appear that there is some
likelihood Of a straining. of the excel
lent understanding now existing be-
tween the United States and the en-
pire of Japan unless something can be
done to decide the differences that
have arisen in the PROFESSIONAL ranks.
With the merits Of boxing we are
somewhat acquainted. We have seen
it demonstrated upon the bodies of
certain ambitious ones that punching
is most effective when applied as an
argument supporting the prowess of an
individual. The solar plexus blow is
scientific and demonstrable fact On
the other hand, we know nothing
of jiu jitsu, except that by its practice
sen~an accommodating opponent much
mischief may be done in the breaking
OF bones. We also know that it is be-
ing utilized by numerous ambitious
Japanese with such peculiar Oriental
names as Olson and McGlone, who
offer to teach the art by mail for
mere trif1e.
Wherefore it is to be hoped that some
arrangement may be made to the end
that eminent professors of both the
schools shall be pitched against each
other and permitted to punch, smash,
break or choke one another, according
to the teaching of their several schools,
and have it thus shown US which is the
superior method of assault. If there
are any frills that may be. added to the
manly art Of self defense as we know
it we insist on having them taught in
the schools.
