MURRAY MUST SERVE SENTENCE
Governor Refuses to Pardon Durham
Man Convicted of killing His Uncle.
Especial to The Messeng'

Especial to The Messenger.)
Raleigh, N. c.. October PA re-
markable case ended today, when Gov
ernor Glenn refused to- pardon w. X.
Murray, who at the Durham superior
court was tried for murder in the
killing of his uncle and was convicted
Of manslaughter and sentenced to two
years on the roads. The governor says:
"In this trial he was represented by
almost the entire bar of Durham. Pub
lie sentiment was greatly in his favor,
but l have irresistibly concluded that
the verdict was in accordance with the
testimony, and the sentence of the
court was neither inhuman Or severe.
I am fully satisfied that he commenced
the difficulty and during it got the pls-
tol into his hands and killed his uncle.
Being in the wrong at the beginning,
he had no right to shoot the deceased,
and therefore cannot complain of the
verdict when it might very probably
have been murder in the second de-
gree. 1t being made to appear to me
however that IN account of physical
condition of the prisoner that it would
be unusual torture for him to labor on
the roads, l modify the sentence to TWO
years in jail" -

UNION DEPOT FOR GOLDSBORO
Railroad Authorities Meet in WASH

Especial to The Messenger.)

Especial to The MeSSenger.)
Goldsboro, N. c., October 24.-The
news sent u from Washington by
the correspondent Of the Raleigh Post
at that place that Goldsboro was to
have a union passenger depot, and tha.
there had heen a meeting of the rail-
road people in Washington yesterday
to consider the question, has brought
much joy and gladness to the hearts
of many people who have long cherish
cd the hope that GoldsborO would
some day be given such a convenience
AS indicated in the dispatch the only
question now at issue is the location
of the depot. The railroads to
be willing to take into consideration
the wishes of our people as to the To-
cation. AS to the location there is
a division of sentiment. A large nun
Der of people would like to see the
tracks taken I'D out of Center street
and DETECTED around the city. The
growing business of the railroads, to-
gether with the increase of the popu-
lation, makes 1t desirable to move the
tracks on account of the dangers atte1-
dant upon the constant moving OF
train along the principal street of the
town. If the tracks should be moved
the depot could be built within a short
distance of the central part of The
town. The people who favor moving
the tracks as we'll as those who oppose
it, are getting up petitions.

SCOTCH IMMIGRATION SOCIETY.

There will be an important meeting
in Fayetteville tomorrow OF people OF
the Upper Cape Fear who are inter-
ested in immigration. 1t will be for
the purpose of organizing a Scotch
immigration Society whose object
will be to induce immigrants from
Scotland to come to this section of the
country to find homes. 1t is proposed
to send an agent to Scotland to lay
before the people there the advantages
of this section of the states and to
call their attention to the large num-
Der of their compatriots who have
heretofore made their homes here aud
how they have prospered in the new
country.
This is a good move and deserves
the hearty goodwill and cooperation
of all the people of this section. No bet
ter class of settlers could be secured.
No foreigners who have come to u
shores have made better citizens than
those from old Scotland and none have
thrived better or made more for them
selves out of their change of homes.
If Scotchmen can be induced to emil
CRATE there is no other locality i'm the
whole United States more suitable for
them to locate than in this southeast
ern section of our state. When the
new conner from the old country To-
cate here they will find themselves
among so many of their own national
ity, they will hear SO many James OF
the different Macs that they will hard
ly be able to believe that they are
hundreds of miles away from their
native land. The trouble will be to
induce these thrifty, Woodworking and
home-loving Scotchmen to leave their
homes in order TO try their fortunes in
a strange land. But we hope the PRO-
posed migration society will be sue
cessful in its endeavor. We need I'M
migrants: we want the best class;
then by all means encourage the COM
Ing of these honest, thrifty and hard
working Scotchmen. Every one oil
these you locate on a farm in NORTH

WANT ALIEN LABOR KEPT OFT
Resolutions OF the Goldsboro Jr. O. L.
4 NJ. Regarding the Present Inmi-
grafton Laws.


Especial to The Messenger.l
Goidsboro, y. c., October 24.-The
local council OF the Junior Order OF
United American Mechanics has put
itself on record as opposed 10 the pres
ent immigration laws. and asks for n
restriction of immigration. One of the
cardinal principles of the order II
America for Americans and the read
ing of the Bible In the public schools.
A resolution ON the restriction of i'm
migration in part Is as follows:
Whereas, the record Of immigration
TO the United States shows that more
than 100000 foreign born persons
landed upon American soil during the
PAST year-not only the sturdy peo-
pie who came before the sixties to find
a place where they might worship God
according to the dictates of their own
conscience, to build up homes for
themselves and their families, and IL
necessary to die in defense of the star
end stripes-but from the pauper dis
tricts Of southern Europe and the ORR
entail countries, the i~ncubatOrs Of Nj
hllism. anarchy, disease and crime, and
Whereas, To continue in a state of
Indifference toward this greatest of
evils, to rely upon present laws (which
if enforced will neither shut out this
fnrolling tide of ignorance, pauperism,
i and crime, o protect us against
the competitive alien will soon over
Whelm and destroy us, and place us on
a par with the wage scale and social
conditions of southern Europe and the
Oriental countries, and
Whereas, The restriction of immi-
grafton has become an economic neces-
sity and should be made a live polit-
ical issue in every congressional dis
trict.
Therefore, be it resolved, That we
demand the enactment of such laws as
will shield us from the depressing eff
fectS of unrestricted immigration, to
the end that the American labOrer may
not only be protected against the pro-
duct of the foreign pauper labor, but
that we may be protected against di-
rect competition in our country by the
incoming of the competitive alien-the
foreign pauper laborers themselves,
and
"Be it further resolved. That we de-
mand the early reformation of our
naturalization laws, the requirements
Of citizenship greatly raised, the cleo
tive franchise made only a high privi-
lege, reserved for the deserving, and
the only after a continuous residence
in decent comparison with that re-
quired a native born citizen.
