Working for State Re-
formatory.
Kings Daughters Will Exert In
fluence Upon the Legislature to
Establish this Much Needed In
stitution for Youthful Criminals.

Con munlcated.
The Kings Daughters in North Caro-
lima are looking to the next State Legis-
iature to establish a RefOrmatOry for
youthful criminals.
North Carolina has delayed long
enough founding this Institution to pre-
serve her character for conservatism and
the time has now come for her to assume
the responsibility OF her criminal and
delinquent boys and to provide place
in her own borders where they may be
reformed and made useful citizens and
good men instead OF condemning them to
jails, chain-gangs and the Penitentiary,
to be associated with the most hardened
and degraded criminals; or sending them
to the Reformatories of other States.
ATraining School is advocated for these
boys which shall be home where they
will be strictly and religiously brought
up, punished and rewarded according to
| their deserts. In England where such In
stitutiOns have been in most successful
operation for more than hall a century,
much good is accomplished by a system
OF marks showing the boys exactly
how they stand as to character and edu-
| cation; a certain pecentage OF good marks
| entities them to q reward, in the shape
vi puU " Clcult. 10
given to them when they leave the school
and often is the foundation for future
success. When necessary severe punish
ment is administered and it is found that
it is needed much less frequently than
would be expected.
In the Training School they will be
taught trades-carpenting, shoe making,
and we will with pride see many OF our
boys go out into the world respectable
members of society instead of filling to
overflow wing lunatic asylums and jails.
TO our candidates for the next Legis-
lature, we especially bespeak attention
to this matter. They might accomplish
much good by advocating in their cam
paign speeches the establishment of
Training Schoolfor boys, as work second
to none in Importance before the General
Assembly in 1907.

Government Lands and
The Sante Fe.
An Interesting Little Pamphlet Pub
lished by this Progressive Raj
way System, and Which May be
Had for the Asking.

The railroads have been a great
factor in the building of the great
West. They have been the leaders in
development and once desert wastes
that now blossom as a garden have
been made so mainly by the foresight
and enterprise of the railroads ira
versing the country. These fertile
and productive farming lands, great
numbering and mining enterprises
and fiourishing towns have been
made possible only by and through
the railroads, foremost in all works
OF development. And one of the
greatest of these country developers
and town builders is the great Santa
Fe System.
We have before Us an interesting
and beautifully illustrated little pam
phlet entitled Gree Government
Lands" which has just been issued
by the Santa Fe. 1t tells where these
lands are and how to get them, Civ
ing a synopsis of the Homestead and
Desert Land Laws Of the United
States, together with acreage of
land tributary to the Santa Fe Sys-
TEN lines available under such laws,
and a brief description o the same.
Contrary to the generally accepted
idea, the Public Lands of the United
States are not nearly all exhausted,
nor have all the valuable lands been
appropriated. In fact, the reverse is
true. There are countless acres Of
agricultural and grazing lands be-
longingtO the Government which are
-abundantly watered by naturalrain-
fall; also millions of acres of arid land
heretofore regarded as valueless
which may be brought to the highest
state of productiveness and cultiva-
tiOn through the agency ofirrigation.
In order to bring the attention of
the prospective homeseeker to the
opportunities for securing a home
on the Public Domain adjacent to
the lines of railway comprising the
Santa Fe System, this little pam
phlet has been compiled, and the in
formation it contains viii, we are
sure, be of interest to the reader,
whether he contemplates taking
Horace Greeley's advice to "Go
West" or not. A copy will be mailed

Effect Of Lynching Upon the State
Abroad.
Winston Sentinel.

W InstOn Sentinel
When a crime is committed and a
body OF men, feeling outraged by its
atroeity, lynch the culprits, the deed,
though lawless, can be said to have
been accompanied with extenuating
circumstances, arising from strong
provocation. However, after several
weeks have elapsed and the trial of
the murderers has begun, when there
is absolutely no chance of escape for
the criminals, a lynching is the more
out of place and uncalled for. 1t is
indeed to be regretted that three OF
those implicated in the Lyerly muir
der were executed without due process
of law, for every occurrence OF this
kind sets bad example. 1t causes
others to think that lynchings should
be substituted for lawful executions
and is calculated to lead to endless
trouble. Besides, such occurrences
are taken up by some Northern
papers very often and exaggerated to
the detriment Of the South.

Judge Neal on Right Line.

Writing under date of August II
Judge Walter Fl. Neal OF Laurinburg,
sends the GOLD LEAF the following
circular letter, Il copy OF which he is
mailing to various newspapers and
prominent persons throughout the
State, asking their cooperation in
the efforts he is putting forth in the
direction misunderstanding the en-
actment into law of two~very impor-
tant and neces ssary reforms. Judge
Neal says:
Under the law as it now exists in
this State when a person is charged
with the commission of a capital
criminal offense and is placed on trial
he may challenge peremptOrily tWen-
ty-three jurors and the State can only
challenge four. From an experience
in the practice of law and then five
years work on the Bench it is clear to
my mind that the statute ought to
be changed SO that in the trial of the
Offenses OF arson, rape, murder and
burglary, the four capital felonies,
the State ought to have the same
number of challenges as the prisoner.
1t is my deliberate opinion that this
will help solve the lynching problem.
AS | go over the State and try
young boys for the commission of
crime become more and more i'm
pressed of the imperative necessity
for the establishment of reforlna-
tory to which youthful criminals may
be sent. | would not suggest in its
inception the outlay of a large sum
OF money by the State, but one just
large enough to see if we can't save
bad boys and make out of them good
and useful citizens. | am sure we can
bring good out of this and | think we
ought to make the effort Very many
times | have had my heart to bleed
when as a Judge it became my duty
to seed boys to Jail and the penitenti-
ary-bright-eyed, good looking boys.
Boys that had too much promise OF
good i'll them to be sent off with
thieves and murderers and hardened
criminals, and yet were SO bad and
vicious that they ought not to be
turned loose on society and the pub
lie. | have made up my mind to
make an effort, conducted on honor
able basis, to have these two statutes
written in the laws of my State

need surprise no one that the two
most dastardly lynchings that ever
stained the State or the South, the
more dastardly because so conspicu-
ously excuseless, are to be set down
to the demerit of two whiskey towns
in a temperance State. Their neigh
bors have right to hold it against
Wadesboro and Salisbury that they
are in the business of debauching with
drink their own people and the
stranger who comes within their
gates and they cannot preserve order
within their own boundaries! When
a community votes for distilleries
and bar-rooms it votes for things

There is nothing so pleasant as that bright,
cheerful, at-peaee- e-with-the-world feeling when
you sit down to your breakfast There is
nothing so conductive to good work and

better workman, better citizen than the
man or woman who is handicapped by some
disability however slight. A slight disorder
of the stomach will derange your body, your

from the morbidness and the blues. Keep
your stomach in tune and both your brain
