WORSE THAN MURDERERS.
lien Who Attempt to Tamper With
Jurors Will Not Scruple at Any
thing.

Farbrothers Everything Greensboro.
After serving their term OF thirty
days for contempt Of court, Rogers
and Sorrell, the smooth gentlemen
who pleaded guilty to the crime OF
attempting to fix jurors in a case in
the Wake County Superior court,
were again sentenced to six months
Imprisonment. The people accept
this as a triumph Of Justice over
WrOng-but it isn't much OF a trl-
umph. 4 man who would lend him
self to the terrible crime OF going
about the country attempting to
buy men to serve on luries and rem
der verdict according to the terms
of the sale are worse than murderers.
A man who would do that would not
scruple at anything. 1t is crime
that deprives men Of their liberty or
it might he of their lives. 1t casts a
stain upon the courts-it is simply
most Infamous thing. The law is
not severe enough. Both Rogers
and Sorrell if they are guilty and
they pleaded guilty, should be put
out of the way for life. They are
dangerous and will be as dangerous
when they get out of Jail as they
were before imprisonment. They
will be more careful-but the fact
that they were willing to lend them
selves to such nefarious business
brands them as rogues and williams.
We hang Ghmurderer in order to pro-
tect society-but what should we do
with these cattle And yet the muir
derer, most always, is n victim OF his
own passion. In anger he draws his
pistol and shoots his fellow man. 1t
is decreed that such person should be
confined or hanged. But here is
pair of unworthy knaves who plead
guilty to the charge of attempting
to fix Il iury-attempting tointerfere
with Justice willing to fix it SO that
a mans right night Ee denied him,
or life itself taken. Without re-
gard to Il mans character which
might be on trial this brace ofrOgues
proposed to pay men to make it con-
venient to be on jury and return a
verdict for certain cause. \ life
at hard labor would
better fit their case than it often does
some poor devil, who crazed by
drink takes the life of his fellow man.
Theirs was a cold blOoded. diaboli
cal violation of the law-a willing
to defeat iustice-to east q
stain upon their country's judiciary.
and they admitted their guilt.

Speaks Well for North Carolina.



Much has been made, and properly
So, of the fact that the White Furni-
ture Company. OF Mebane. \. C.. last
week shipped a train-load offurniture
tOPanama upon order OF the Panama
Canal Commissions; that every piece
of this furniture was inspected before
shipment, by an expert OF the United
States government, and not one re-
iected; and that the Panama Commits
sion. even before this train-load was
shipped, had ordered another from
the same company. This is a feather
in the cap of the White Furniture
Company and of North Carolina. and
the Observer, for one, takes great
pleasure in 1.-THE greater pleasure be-
cause this is the first contract of its
kind ever awarded by the govern
ment to Southern factory. Our
Mebane friends should feel proud of
themselves. They evidently know
their business.

CHARLES P. SAPP.

The death of Mr.. Charles Z. Sapp,
for five years editor-in-chief OF the
Norfolk Tirginian-PHOt, which oc-
Cured III that city last week, removes
a brilliant and able newspaper man
who adorned the editorial profession.
Mr.. Sapp was Il native of Cabarrus
county, " e., and was BIB years old.
He was associated with the edi-
torial staff of the News and Observer
previous to which he was engaged in
newspaper work in Greensboro. Edi-
tor Daniels pays this tribute to his
late friend and associate:
But. apart from personal emotion
there comes the half-resentful sense
of pity that the world should lose so
early in his life man SO fitted by
nature and by training to take a
masters part Charles Sapp fitted
his profession. He had the eve t o see,
the heart to feel, the brain to define
ate his perceptions. He was both
worker and scholar, Il man who knew
what ought to be said and how to
say it, He knew the value OF words.
the poise OF Il sentence His writings
lost neither strength by reason OF
their grace, nor eloquence through
force. His pen was such rs both to
adorn and Justify II page; his convic-
tions and the STRENGTHENING courage
with which he sent them forth of Il
sort both to gain hearing and to
compel assent
That Il man OF his stripe, armed
as he was and on the threshold of
worthy things. should have become
one with mute eternity while there
was yet so much for him to do is in
eXpressibly pathetic"

KNOWS A GOOD THING.

1t behooves all Raleigh to pull to-
gether on one OF her foremost propo-
sitions: the immediate organization
of another Building and Loan Asso-

OF industry and are feeders to banks

We want and must have a more di-

such a way OF money savingi is n sort

There is no possible way OF figuring

referring to the proposed costly
new bridge which is designed to con
meet Morehead and Beaufort BY rail.
the Henderson GOLD LEAF SAYS:
The leSsees of the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad promise
considerable improvements that will
mean great things for the develop
ment OF that section of Eastern
North Carolina"
But that apparent fact does not
seem to figure over much in the
selfish calculations OF some OF the
gentlemen living along the line of
that road and who seem bent on put
ting obstacles in the way of the new
company, because their individual
business prosperity does not appear
quite as bright as it did when the
State manipulated the affairs of the
old Mullet.
OF course, the gentlemen who are
now managing the affairs of the
road, and those who have invested
their money in the plan to improve
and operate it. expect to eventually
make money out of the enterprise.
Does any one know OF par no
would undertake the work .u the
same risks for the mere fun 4 the
thing? This splendid and much
needed bridge alone will cost 5000
600, we are told. and the GoLDLEAF
informs Us that the company intends
not TO stop there, but to build an nd
ditional bridge or long trestle from
Beaufort TO Shackelford Banks and
TO construct a railway along the lat
ter to Cape Lookout. where coaling
station will be established on the
spacious harbor known as Book OF
Cape, where it is proposed to form
a harbor of refuge.

What Excessive Drink Does.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
The following paragraph is copied
from the Chattanooga News:
The yonng man who wants to know
what excessive drink will do for him has
but 10 look at e1-Congressman Morgan
Fitzpatrick, who is charged in the dis
patches this morning with having utter
ed worthless checks and drafts. Ten
years ago there was not a more promis-
ing young man in Tennessee than Morgan
e. Fitzpatrick. He was able. alert hand
some and considered entirely trust
worthy. Hard drinking howevery. got
him. From Congressman he has dropped
to an object of pity. and all because of
his love for strong drink.
The Observer doesn't give advice,
but it submits this statement as pos
sibly profitable for doctrine. for re-
proofs, for correction. for instruction
in righteousness" 1t happens to
know that but few years ago Mr..
Fitzpatrick, then Representative in
Congress. had fine standingin Wash
ington as a capable. usefnl man.

| have been asked by the editor, and
others. to write something on the sub
ject of Good Roads
The first requisite, is available funds.
The second, is {. law under which to Oper-
ate The next and all important need is,
the knowledge of what to do, or how to
proceed: SO that the road improvement,
shall represent value received for the out
lay. There usually has been no great
difficulty, in a county raising road funds
and getting fairly good road law; but
the other part has been universally diff
cult. Right here let me quote, Prov. f.
:: Wisdom is the principal thing; there
fore get wisdom: and with all thy getting
get understanding.
There can be a good deal learned from
the road work in other counties, and
other States; by their mistakes and fail
ures. When a railroad is to be built.
men are sought who understand that
particular kind of work. When a fine
house, mill, or factory is to be built, an
architect, millwright, or mechanical en-
gineer is wanted Most people seem to
think that public road building, is sim
pie matter. On the contrary public road
building is one of the most difficult Occu-
pations known. The experience of the
world has been that whenever road
building has been undertaken without
proper man at the head of it, it has
proven more or less failure am salts
fed that fully one half OF the money
raised in this State, for road work, has
been wasted through Encouragement.
The usual way that road work is COM
menced is first to buy lot of tools from
some agent just because he recommends
them. without knowing whether they
will be of use or not. Then buy n lot of
cheap little mules; get a cheap man to
take charge, and spend the money.
Now as to what kind of road to build:
OF course it is the duty OF a county to
build the best roads it can offOrd. Mae
adam will cost three thousad dollars per
mile. Good dirt roads can be built for
one tenth of that amount. 1t is to be
hoped that all of our counties. will soon
wake up to the Importance of building
roads; and thereby get rid of some of our
mud, steep hill and gulley tax
