TarbOro SOutherner.
1t looks like q travesty upon justice
for General Smith, who killed his wife,
to be let off with imprisonmentfor 80
years. 1t was q cold blooded murder,
everyone believes, yet the court ac-
cepted his plea OF murder in the Sec
ond degree, because under the statute
it was not believed that the State
could make out a case of murder in
the first degree. To constitute mur-
der in the first degree, the State must
prove premeditation. Under the old
law and the common law, premedita-
tion was presumed and it was incum-
bent upon the defendant to prove the
contrary.
The law should be changed or cap
ital punishment should be abolished.
If ever a man deserves hanging this
brute Smith does.

ready, a mantle of his own, a mant le
made of splendid stuff and richly

ready for use, wit and philosophy,
poetry and eloquence and learning
to which the great rugged, fireless
pulsant mastodian Beck made small
pretensions-and along with these a
heart as big as meeting house.
Gods, with what strokes he smote
the Money Devil; with what satire
and invective, with what knowledge
OF the old beasts peculiar curves;
with what prophets instinct and
reach of arms; and lord, lord, how
his fingers did knock them out with
that wondrous display of power and
pathOs when he once recited them
''The Song of the Shirt?' Who that
heard it will ever forget those tones
as standing in the Senate, surrounded
by the attorneys OF Mammon, in the
very teeth of the Gray Wolves, he
began slowly, almost solemnly:
with fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat in unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread"
And this with it's wailing note
For it's oh, to be slave,
Along with the barbarous Turk"
And this
''It is not linen you re wearing out,
But human creatures lives
And this
''Oh God, that bread should be so dear,
And flesh and blood so cheap

who fought with both Beck and
Carlisle. shifting the mailed legions
of the Yellow Rich, hip and thigh
who, with Tom Corwin and our own
Proctor Knott poured flood OF
sunshine as we'll as wisdom and learn
Jag into the public life of their time
making the genius OF American
craftsmanship gentler side and
leaving to all time blessed and i'm
mortal Trinity-leave him out. And
at the precise moment when Democ-
racy, which he served so valiantly
and loved so well, seems to be re-
gaining its anagnosity, recovering
it's prestige and returning to the one
modern issue on which it has carried
the country; the key to the trend
OF the times; the cue to the political
future; to-wit, that internal taxation
must be laid equally on and for all
the people and that the import du-
ties collected at the Custom House,
shall be ''for revenue only?" Forget
him? Not on your life!

Uncle Sans Big Expense Account.
Just before the close of the session
it became apparent that the total Of
appropriations TO carry on the govern
ment for the next fiscal year would be
somewhere in the neighborhood Of
5000. 0.000,GG0. At this writing the exact
figures have not been officially report
ed. 1t is customary for each party to
insert in the record week or two
after the end of the session q statement
of the appropriations and it's own ex-
planation thereof. This total recalls the
outcry that was made only fifteen
years ago, when the Fifty-first con
grcss, under Reeds speakership, apprO-
prated Il little over $1,O00,0000 900 in
the two years of its existence Reply
ing to the criticism that it was "bil-
lion dollar congress- Reed said, at
is Il billion dollar country" Even the
Fiftyffth congress, which covered
much Of the Spanish war expenses
spent only $1.5J3. 100000 in it's two
years; hence. at the pace set by this
first session, the F'ifty-ninth congress
is certain to outstrip all its predeces
sOrs in the matter of public cXpendi
lures. To the criticism Of the minority
the dominant party replies that the
country has grown in all directions. AS
a matter OF fact the numerous investi
cations ana federal inspections provid
ed for have added largely to the cost
of government.
The approximate amounts carried by
the different appropriation bills and
some extraordinary appropriation
were as follows:

The man with a scooter had to plOw

A Quaint Orcr OF Marriage.

A quaint offer OF marriage, written
more than 100 years ago, is carefully
preserved in the family of the young
wooer's descendants. 1t was address
ed not to the young woman herself. but
most respectfully and decorouSly to her
parents. The father of the "Betsey'
referred to had ten daughters, and as
he was clergyman fors fifty years III
n small New England town it may be
surmised that his affirmative answer
TO snare his seventh was as quickly
asserting as 1t was final. The wooer
was also n clergyman, and he and his
Betscy passed their entire married
lives In the same pastorate, ministers
of those days living and dying with
their floCks. Here is the lovers plea:
Both reverend sir and worthy madam.
Soft wedlock's bands first talked in
heaven.
When happy man In Eden dwelt alone
The smiling God a spouse did form OF
bone,
That friendship might their joyful souls
inspire
And knit their hearts In n seraphic fire.
With wcdlock chain wish myself to bind
II from your lips the answer should prove
kind.
Betsey, your seventh, 1 wish YOU TO inn
That we may join our hands as well a,
hearts
And live in love and share each others

While tleeting time whlrls on with rolling
years

foxes are much tormcnted b. fieas. but
when the infiiction becomes too severe
they know how to get rid of the in

stream that deepens by degrees. Here
they enter the water, still carrying the
moss in their mouths, and. going back

tails. they advance by slow do@rG"s til
the whole body, with the exception .
the mouth, is entirely immersed. II,
