Our Chief Of Police, Mr. A. &C.

after John Marshall Wooden, a negro
murderer whom he had succeeded in
locating there. About six years ago
Wooden aSSasSinated ESSic Tucker, an
Old negro living a few miles from
Parsons Station. He made good his
escape, and but 70: the fact of his

crime to a negro woman he might still
have been enjoying the free atmoS-
phere OF st. Louis. But i'm obedience
to that inexorable law, that a man s
evil deeds will overtake him, he is
now in durance vile. Mr.. Gerard was
informed OF Wooden's presence in
st. Louis by negro man to whom
The woman had intrusted his secret.

ed with prayer by the bishop and af-
ter a short address, also made by the
bishop, the sacrament of the Lord Is
Supper was served whereupon the
routine work was taken up. The
characters OF the nine presiding ell
ders were passed as satisfactory and
the first mornings session went off
smoothly, evidencing that the vari-
GUS parties concerned had their work
we'll in hand.
On Wednesday night Rev. X. A.
Jones, of Prairie Circuit, the second
Oldest minister in the Conference,
preached the semi-centennial sermon.
Mr. Jones was licensed to preach in
1885, and began his work on Paulding
Circuit in the Mississippi Conference.
He chose his text from Romans, |, 16:
For am not ashamed Of the gospel
of Christ" He said he was not
ashamed Of it when he begun his
and that he had proclaimed
It with increasing joy as the days
vent by. His discourse was necessa-
lily somewhat historical, but was

use OF the criminal law as a scarecrOw
unmindful of the fact that their ef
forts on behalf Of the criminal only
tend to weaken the arm of the law
upon which society must lean for pro.
lection, and all government, by the
people, must depend for existence.
Among these statutes, the most per-
nlclouS, are the Michigan statutes
creating an advisory board in the mat
ter OF pardonS, called the pardon
board, and the intermediate sem
tence statute. In these are abandon
ed the basis upon which punishment
for crime is supposed to rest, namely.
the protection OF society, by the GER
tain, sure, swift and adequate punish
ment OF offenders against it. The re-
SGlt is a transformation of courts from
protectors Of society against crime to
Instructors in morality, and so far has
progress made in this false notion
that to day in Michigan the arraign-
ment, trial and conviction of crimi-
nal is little less than a farce comedy.
No matter how heinouS the crime, no
matter how great and hardened the
criminal, he goes smilingly to prison
with the boast that he will be put out
n few days. This condition does
not exist in any country where the
classes are treated as crimi-
1als, and not as victims of misguided
ustice. A criminal trial in England
'r Germany means something. The
knows that the verdict of |
'uilty ends his career. Nothing can
ave him from punishment provided |

An Election said 10 hay2 been Held here
Yesterday.

Owing to the q%uietness Of things
In and about Salisbury yesterday
ven the suspicion of any unusual
occurrence. was hardly thought Of,
but such was not the case, a very
important matter was taking place.
BY the castiag of a hundred or
more votes a man was being elect
ed to an office that should be
klo VA as the good old and honor
ed position of Mayor of Salisbury,
and jus5 how near the city got
what 1T should have everybody
knows. Al the same time eight
aldermen, the proper rulers of the
city, was elected. Most of these
are new men and it remains to be
seen what manner of officers they
will be, whether they will stand
upon their own judgment and con-
vlctlons, or whether they will
prove to be weaklings to be pulled
about by the will of others, OF
whether they will deliberately and
of their own choice Join those who
have overstepped their authority,
done unlawful things and purpose
ly committed wrongs by OMISSION,
such as failing to make proper re-
ports, all remains to be learned by
their constituents who have en-
deavored to right many of these
wrongs by electing them as alder
men. The ticket elected Is as
follows:
Mayor: A. H. Boyden.
Aldermen, North Ward: M. A.
Shank X and J. E. Tennessee.
Fast Ward: J. F, Ludwick *
and G. 3. Robertson.
West Ward: W. G. Maupin and

Yesterday evening, as announc-
ed in our contemporary, the Sails
bury Sun, Carl Hammer, Il OF
the proprietors and editor of that
paper, severed his connection
Herewith. This is a regret t.
Mr.. Hammer and the many
staunch friends he has made WhiJo
here during the last six month";.
His lea wing is a loss to Salisbury
Salisbury needed him, she needs
a paper of the character and abili-
ty he conducted, and the city, we
verify believe, is set back in ma
terial progress by this misfortune.
Mr. Hammer came here a total
stranger, a northern man, put in
the best newspaper plant ever
brought to the city, spent his
money, and was received kindly
by our people. He had great
hopes of doing a good business,
thereby helping himself and the
city with which he had cast his lot.
He met with unforeseen obstacles
made mistakes, made friends
among our best people and enc
mics among the worst, as any man
would who has convictions and
the courage to express them, and
by his leaving, We hope not, but
fear the day for Salisbury to have
a modern, high-class newspaper,
has, at least for a time, been set
back for a matter OF the future.
Many Of our people will regret to
see him leave and their best wishes
will attend him.
We have no quarrel with any,
nor do we uphold any mans er-
rors, but a fact the merchants
and people of Salisbury must con-
front sooner or later, Just as well
be made known now. Salisbury
will never have a modern news
paper worthy Of herself till a
better rate for advertising can be
had here. Good newspapers can
not live on the rates paid here,
and so long as a better rate is not
given nothing better than we have
can exist, and, we know enough
about the business, to know it is
only a matter of time with such
as we have. They will either
have to 60 up on their rates or die
for the lack of proper nourish-
ment.

SALISBURY, N. c., MAY BIRD, 1908,

After carefully scanning the
columns of the exchanges we find
there are only a few newspapers
in the State that lake exceptions
to Judge Boyd's just and proper
sentences, and these are mostly
owned or controlled by the whls-
key element, who of course, would
like not only to be shed Of Judge
Boyd, but all judges, all laws and
and other barriers raised by socle-
ty and sobriety for protection.
Their persistent violation of
known laws is sufficient proof OF
the above assertion.

Manning, May Mrs. Caro-
line Bost departed this life, at her
home Saturday night, after a short
illness with dropsy She had been
in failing health for a year past,
but only a few days was she con-
fined to her bed before death, On
Easter Sunday she partook of the
Lords Supper around the family
altar. Little did her pastor then
think aweek hence her spirit would
be with God who gave it. Mrs.
Bost was born on New Years day.
1881, being of age "A years, 8
months and % days. She is sur.
vlved by one daughter, Mrs. L..
W. Lingle, and her aged husband
who is now nearly. so years Of age,
and who for more than four years
past has suffered the total loss of
his eyesight. The deceased also
leaves six grandchildren and four
great-grand-children. These with
her many relatives and a host of
friends to mourn the loss of a
kind Christian woman-a loss to
US, but her eternal gain. In 1850
she was married to Moses A. Bost
and the mother of seven children,
all of which with one exception,
have preceded her to the spirit
world. She was received into the
Lutheran church in infancy by
baptism, was %catechised and con-
firmed in Organ Church by the
lamented DR.. Samuel Rothrock in
1916. At this time she was Is
years old, and was one of a class
of Is young persons confirmed at
that time and place. In this
communion she was faithful and
consistent until death. Some
years later with her husband, she
moved her membership to Salem
to which she was devoted and a
faithful attendant upon divine
worship. In many respects she
was an ideal church member,
model christian, devoted wife,
kind mother, good neighbor and
blest with a modest and reserved
disposition. By her christian
character she taught others not so
much by precept as by example,
and the influence she exerted in
the community, though silent,
was effective, and will continue
to bear fruit. These mothers in
Israel are fast passing away and
there are few to take their places.
In such lives of faith and conse-
Grafton is manifested the satisfy
ing and sustaining power of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ and is fresh
inspiration for us yet in the flesh.
Sunday at 4 p. m. a large con-
course of people assembled to pay
their last respects to the memory,
and to testify to the esteem in
which she was held as neighbor
and citizen. The funeral services
were conducted by her pastor,
Rev. Trexler, assisted by Rev. G.
L. Miller, of Chestnut Hill. The
funeral text was Rev. 2:8, ''Be
thou faithful unto'death and I will
give thee a Grown of Life" The
lnterment was in the cemetery
near by the church. Her place is
now, we believe, among them
(which came out of great tribula-
ton. They shall hunger no
more, neither thirst any more;
neither shall the sun light on
them, nor any heat; for the Lamb
which is in the midst of the throne
shall feed them, and shall lead
them unto living fountains of
waters; and God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes,"
