Raleigh.
a few minutes before he was to
have taken the Raleigh train a sub

in court. and while he knew they
could not compel him to 80 into

he received a telegram from his priv

of the LyerIy murder, and the request
for a special term OF court Tor the

excitement and prevent a lynchlng.
Governor Glenn at once ordered the
court, and Judge Long was appoint

ordered directly in accordance there

Upon being asked whether he
thought there was anything made in
the point Of the defendant to Gust the
jurisdiction of the court, the governor
emphaticalIy replied: mo While
he did not have the Constitution be

was a defactO judge with full power
to hold a court, and subsequent to has

but not even the trial judge recon-
meuded the c~OmmutatIon. and n &c
cIined to change the sentence.
The full text Of the refusal IS as loi-

THE defendants were convicted 81

weapon, in which serious damage was
done. These were the facts as louna
by Judge and jury. editor Deal, OF

Governor should change the sentence
of the courts, (unless the judge him

The trial Judge does not recommend

In view of the fact that every road

HOW DEFEAT CAME
County Commissioners
Say by Republican Vote.


The present Board of County Com
m~issioners of this county yesterday
sent to this paper for publication tha
following:
To the Public.
Mr.. Editor:-To the 1924 Demo
cratic voters Of Wake county who
supported Us at the primary Of July
list last for the nomination of Com
m~issioncrs, We hereby tender our sin
Cere thanks. 1t is q source of great
comfort To feel hat our administers
don was endorsed. as we think, by a
majority of the Democrats who voted
AT said primary. For those Democrats
who voted for IL opponents because
they desired Il change of adminiStra-
ton, We have the highest respect. but
for those Republicans and othIrs,
numbering as we believe more than
one thousand, who d~isregarding all
party law, voted ut said primary for
ultra motives, we have great sympathy
as well as for those who We're actively
instrumental i'll inducing or permitting
same.
Tor the information Of our friends
and the public, we call attention to
the fact that in the Democratic pri-
mary Of OF (Which was notably large)
there was 3264 votes caSt
for both candidates for the
Senate. IN The Solicitors pri-
mar held this year Mr.. Jones re-
ceived 1882 votes, Mr.. Snow 712, MAX
ing a total Of only 2494 votes, while
in the primary held July 21st last,
there We're 1869 votes cast for both
candidates forsthc Senate. showing
that there were zoos more votes cast
July DIST than in 1904. which in our
opinion was caused by Republicans
aud others who We're no. entitled
voting To nominate a Democratic
ticket they will not supper at the
regular election.
Great as we feel this wrong to be.
we ask II friends to do as we eX-
poet to do. support the Democratic
nominees as declared by the Executive
Committee. and join US in insisting
upon and demanding Of the next Gen
eral Assembly the passage Of an act
establishing a legalized primary for
Wake county. providing for a regis
tration Of all voters before being al
lowed to take part in Primary and
such other machinery as will abso-
iutely forestall Republicans and others
not entitled from naming Democratic
candidates, and thereby preventing q
recurrence Of the abnormal condition
we now have, and which we think nee
.essary for the we'll being Of the Dem
.ocratic party IN this county.

They We're much impressed by their
trip of 215 miles by river from Hin

if they thought steamers would ever
be able to get to Raleigh again, said
with q smile that they We're very sure
they could not, for Il long distance
the river in its supper stretches can
be Waded.
The Boys acted upon special advice
given them and We're very careful as
to their drinking water. They used
only spring water, finding remarkably
few clear streams running into the
river anywhere, but one day their
water gave out and they had to use
river water. which they boiled thor
oughIy before using. In the afternoon
They left HaVelock and went to Beau
fort, where they arrived at s o'clock
and 10 their great joy met the swarm
ing S~unshiners, who had eaten supper,

under contract was feeding the sun

were really quite the heroes of the
day among the SunshinerS. They saw
that the trip down the river from Raj
elgh to Smithfield cannot be made ex-
cept IN canoes and by the use of dom
bIe-pladed paddles, owing to the num-
erouS rapids and fish dams. They
found the number of bridges across
the river from Raleigh to kinston to
De nineteen. The current of the river
seems TO be something like three miles
an hour, IN the upper stretches, at
least, and maybe nearly as much low
CT down, though it does not make the
same show. The boys intend next
year TO taxi q trip in their canoes
from L~IIlington, on the Raleigh and
Southport Railway, to Wilmington.

Governor Glenn also refused to par
don G. D.. Whitley, Of Stanly county,
and his decision is as follows:

County.
The prisoner was convicted Of Sc
ductiOn under promise of marriage.
The trial judge said, if the jury be-
lieVe the p~rOSecutriX they did right
in their verdict, but under the defend
ants testimony could have acquitted
him, of seduction, but under his own
statement he was guilty Of fornication
ana adultery, and as the prOsecutriX
defendants cousin and defendant
had sought her in her fathers house
he felt that the crime was more than
an ordinary case of adultery and so
sentenced him to three years on the
roads. | think the judge did right.
From the evidence before me, it is al
most absolutely certain, that the de-
PENDANT seduced another woman just
the same time, so there is moth
ing in defendants character to com
mend him to executive clemency. APP
plication is therefore refused and the
sheriff directed to execute the sen
tence.

A CRIME AGAINST SOCIETY.

Cardinal Gibbons In the Century,
Voluntary self-murder Is not only a
violation OF the divine law, but is also a
crime against society. We are social
beings. We owe a duty TO the COM
monwealth as well as to ourselves, We
mutually depend on one another, Ike
the members OF our physical body For
none OF US llyeth TO himself. and no
man dieth to himself" Human society
may be compared to a grand army
every member Of which has special
place and mission assigned to him by
his sovereign commander To aban-
don the post OF duty intrusted to a
sentinel is regarded by the military
code as a most cowardly act, which Is
punished with extreme rigor, Wha'
less does the suicide do than basely
abandon the situation assigned 10 him
in the warfare OF life? And there Is NO
vice more contagious than cowardly
desertion. II is often followed by q
general mutlny The same is true OF
suicide. When few deeds OF self
murder are widely circulated by the
press, they are not infrequently fol-
lowed by numerous voluntary slaugh-
ters. A suicidal wave rolls over the
land.
