Laws Extreme Penalty
For Paul Johnson
Jury After Being Out Only
Five Minutes Return Yer
dict Of Murder in Sc
COnd Degree.

The Jury in the case Of Paul Johnson
the IS wear old negro lad tried in the
superior Court yesterday, as reported
in the ARGUS, for the murder of Henry
Miller, were out only five minutes in
celebrating on his case, and filing in
TO court they were duly poiled by the
Clerk, the prisoner at the bar was or
dered to 'sstand up" and then the
Judge in solemn tones said: "-'risoner
look upon the juicy: jury look u,>on the
prisoner, what say you for your YER
dict?"
1t was a mOmento OF in~tense suspense.
The close Of a great tragedy was at
hand: human life had been ruthlessly
taken: a human life was in the hands
of the jury: the fate Of q human being
was trembling in the balance. The
Judge upon the bench was waiting Tor
the verdict; the counsel who had SO
ably and eloquentIy and e~ttectually de
Tended the prisoner, ExJudge w. S. o.
b. Robinson and Mr., M, t Dickinson,
were in their seats; the Solicitor, who
had as ably prosecuted him, was at his
post;the great throng ofearger spectators
hung breathless for the words: solemn
ly they fell from the lips Of the jury's
spokesman upon the silence of the
scene--'Guilty Of murder in the second
degree"
Instantly there was a sigh of relic
from the great throng and it was ev1den1
that the virdict, under the eloquent
cIear-cut. matchless defense Of the de
PENDANTS counsel, met the general WISH
of the thronged court house. In {
momen the Judge raped to order
and with the prisoner and jury stll
standing, he thanked the jury for The
patience with which they had hearc
and considered the case and SAID h'
was glad they had been merciful IL
their virdict. He then addressed thu
he painted the crime he had committed
and said to him that only his youth ha(
saved him in the hands Of the jury from
the gaIIows. His Honor then sentenced
him to the full term of punishment 70
murder in the second degree, 30 year
in the p~enitentiary at hard labor.

CROPS And PROSPERITY.

Instead of shipping to other countries
one hundred millions of bushels of
wheat, as we did in the last fiscal year
we viii send abroad this year two hun
dred million bushels, as we will be able
to sell at least two hundred million
bushels of corn, and probably sever
million bales Of cotton. Meats and pro-
visions will be shipped in almost fabu-
lous quantities.
Just think of the activity, energy
and enterprise needed to market
broad a billion dollars worth of agri-
cultural products! That IS the task
before the country at this moment, and
part in the next four, five or six
months. Every railroad will be crowd
ed with commodities, and every ship
viii be loaded almost to the line of
safety. The south knows what it is to
market D cotton crop, and the west
must market its surplus of the wheat
and corn crops.
All bis is outside OF domestic dis
tribution. When that is added we
have a people busy and prosperous
beyond perhaps any other in this
world. Nor is this country a laggard
in industrial matters. 1t is as busy
and as enterprising in industrial mat
tiers as it is in agricultural production.
And along with both goes mining and
fishing and the entire round Of the
worlds activities. Nothing is omitted.
All is attended to in this country, and
busy months are just ahead in all
branches of trade and business. Dull
times are impossible, and prosperity
seems to have settled down to stay.

GREAT DAMAGE.
Railroad Tracks Around Durham
Principal Suffers From
Heavy DOWnp0uF.

Durham, August 22-The recent Sc
we're rains have caused damage not
only in Durham and on the Seaboard
road, but throughout this section. The
track Of the Durham and Southern
road beyond Apex was damaged SO
that yesterday afternoon three freight
trains were off the track in a short
while. No damage was done by these
trains being derailed.
The freight train that left here yester-
day was twice derailed before getting
to its destination, and the train coming
this way was one time deraiIed. All OF
these derailments were caused by the
tracks spreading, this being caused by
the soft condition Of the roadbed.
Between Durham and Chapel Hill
tho telegraph and telephone service was
interrupted with today. Neither could
be used for some time.
It is thought that probably the wires
were broken by polls falling.

Bridging PamliCO,

Washington. d. G. August 22.-The
agitation as to the authority OF Ii Sec
rotary of WA to grant permission to
the Raleigh and Pamilco railroad to
construct a bridge cross the Pamlico
river below the town of Washington has
not yet reached the national capital.
This information was given today at
the office Of General Mack nzie; chief
f engineers Of the army when the re-
port with reference to the revocation Of
the original order for the construction
of the bridge was brought to the atten-
has o revoked the order, and what is
more the War Department has heard
nothing with regard to the subject since
March 26th last when permission was
granted for construction of the bridge.
Officials in the engineers office were
shown Judge Shepherds opinion, and
x hen it is presented to the proper of
tcials here it will undoubtedly receive
the attention that it merits. 1t is adj
mitted, though unoficially, that the
ooS1SCdiJ VI wa cdu11oL give autL1oi1ty
to build a bridge without requisite local
authority, and that the question of
obstructing navigation in the determin-
ing factor in almost every instance
where the department is called upon
to sanction the construction of bridges.
The contention is made that the charter
of the r. and p. railroad gives ample
authority on the part of the states,
justifying h action of the Secretary OF
War. 1t is assumed here that the OBJ
Ijections Of citizens of Washington to
the order for the erection of the bridge
are now before the local engineers. IN
that event they will come before depart
ment officials here for review.

District Attorney Jerome contends
that bucket shop operators are COM

proceed against them as such. Four
men have been arrested, and their
books have been seized. and Mr.. Je-
rome will try to show that the four
men did not deal in stocks at all-that
their concern with all its branches was
"a plain gambling proposition"
The trouble in all such cases is TO
draw the line between Wall street gam
bling and common" gambling, The
experts who have examined the books
Of the offending firm disagree. The
difference between what is called Iegit-

Ultimate business in the bucket shops
is SO small the district attorney and
his men are forced to acknowledge that
they have a hard nut to crack when
they haul the bucket shoppers to court.
But Mr.. Jerome is hopeful, and he
proposes TO apply, If possible, to the
bucket shops in New York the law thai
was passed for the purpose OF putting
Richard Garfield out OF business. The
first steps have been taken, and the
district attorney thinks he can show
that every bucket shop operator IS 9

therefore any standing in court.

We have visited the County Home,

The convict camp needs better pro-

The Clerks and Registers offices are

larger, and giving Offices on the
ground floor for the Clerk and Register

We recommend that the township

all the public roads for five miles from

county proportionately. We being
convinced that the present method OF
road working is a failure, the road be-
ing III very bad condition, and b same
is true of the streets of Goldsboro, which
are in worse shape than the public

In a fire which occurred at $3.50
this morning, the Log Cabin saloon,
on East Court street, was damaged
TO the extent of several hundred dol
lars.
The fire originated from a lamp
under a hot water urn at one end of
the bar, which was evidently left
burning when the saloon was closed
about midnight. In what manner the
blaze caught is not known. 1t was
first noticed by man passing along
the sidewalk on the opposite side of
the street. An alarm was at once
turned In, and both the central COM
pantes responded promptly. When
they first arrived on the scene the
smoke within the saloon was so dense
that it was hard to locate the fire.
Also, some delay was experienced in
getting water, owing to the fact that
water left in the fire hose had frozen.
At present there is no room in which
hose may be dried after a fire. and
according to Fire Chief Vaughan, the
hose would have been frozen so as to
have been useless had last night been
muCn colder.
Owing to the nature of the furni-
ture in the room the fire did not
make much progress last night. and
1t was extinguished before much
damage had been DONE However,
one end of the bar was burned. a
large mirror broken, and considerable
other damage done by smoke and
water.
Contents Insured for S225O.
The stock and furniture of the Log
Cabin are owned by John McFadden.
and were insured for the sum of
S225O, the insurance being carried
with Joe Ell, agent for the Phoenix
and Scottish Union. The building is
owned by John Temple. However,
but little damage vas done to the
building.
