and Blacks Housed Together.

Whites and Blacks Housed Together
There is quite q considerable str
in this county over a part OF the report
of The last grand jury, which adjourn
ed last week. and the state press has
also taken the matter up and are hand
ing out some red-hot stuff TO the COM
m~issioners. The report Of the graud
jury charged that white and coiored
conyicts are kept in the same oom at
night and sleep together. This is not
discussed. The county commissioners
have taken the matter up and the
foreman of the late grand jury vas
summoned TO appear before the COM
mater. In a way, the charge is denied
but a News reporter some months ago
visited the camp late n night and
saw white and colored convicts sleep
between them.
1t is claimed that the class of whites
that are usually ent to the roads care
very little about who they associate
with and SO far a. known they have
not raised the present kick. The pres
ent agitation, if it results in nothing
else. will probably be the cause of
having the whites and blacks separat-
ed at the camp, ever if il is necessary
to employ additional guards.-Win-
ston Special to Charlotte News.

Washington, June 4.-President
Roosevelt today received about so con-
federate veterans from Tennessee VINO
are on their way home from the Rich
mond reunion.
These included infantry companies
A. from Memphis and 3 from Nash
vile and troop B. Of Nashville cav
airy.
They marched to the white house,
the infantrymen with their rifles and
the cavalrymen with their sabres, the
first time in the history, it is said,
that armed confederate veterans have
paraded the streets OF the city. The
cavalrymen were some of General
Nathaniel B Forests troopers.
Many of the veterans were attired
in the uniform they wore during the
civil war.
At the head Of the procession they
bOre the United States flag while that
of the confederate was kept furled.
Rrigadier General George w. Cor
don, one Of the department Command
ers of the United Confederate Veter-
ans, and Representative Wesley Gaines
marched with the men.
The president gave each of his call
ers a hearty shake Of the hand and
told them that he vas glad to see
them.
The old soldiers were highly pleased
with their reception During the pre-
sentation. Hamilton Parks, of Nash
vile presented on behalf of the va
rious organizations and others of
Nashville, an invitation to the presi-
dent to stop there on his way home
from Memphis in October. The vet
Grams promised to escort the president
from Memphis to Nashville if he
would honor the city with a visit.
Mr.. Gaines says the president was
non-committal as to whether he would
come, but that he would try his best
to do SO.

WRECK ON THE SOUTHERN
Train Plunges Down 15-FOot En-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Persons In
jured.

"
Nashville. Tenn, June 5.0GoinS AZ
a speed of 20 or 80 miles an htuc
Southern passenger train No. 80, }eav-
ing Nashville at 1890, plunged off a
15-foot embankment at Black Branch.
near Lebanon. Tenn. SO miles east of
Nashville this morning, injurfng 81
persons out of a total of 80 on board.
Two passenger coaches and mail and
baggage cars left tie track. One re-
port says the wreck was caused by
spreading rails and another the front
trucks of the engine jumped the track
and threw the baggage and two pas
senger coaches off.
The first intimation the passengers
had was a humping. jolting sensation
and the next moment two coaches shot
from the rails and turned over on their
sides down the embankment.
A relief train was dispatched from
Lebanon to the scene. All the physi-
clans in the town and a number of
citizens going to render such assist
ance as was possible.
AS soon as the news of the wreck
was received in Nashville the Southern
officials sent a relief train to Black
Branch. When the relief train re-
turned here at 1920 o'clock, every am
bulance in the city stood in waiting to
receive the victims and convey them to
hospitals.
Conductor F. A. Dean. of Hartman.
Tenn, who was in charge of the train
although severely cut and bruised,
stuck to his post and came back to
Nashville with the train. He did not
seem to know just what caused the
accident.

nay MUST DIE.

The state board of pardons has de-
cided that il cannot commute the
death sentence of Day, the murderer of
Noss, t. life Imprisonment. It could
find nothing in the record of the trial
20 justify any interposition. The YER
dict OF the jury that tried Day will not
be interfered with. SO a week from
next Friday, the defendant having
elected to die by shooting, he will be
taken out of his cell and shot to death.
Whose sheddeth mans blood, by
man shall his blood be shed" So runs
the old Mosaic law. The laws of Utah
provide for the infection Of the death
penalty in cases of murder. The evil
dence adduced at the trial Of Day
showed that he walked into a room in
which his victim was standing and de-
hberately shot him down. Voss was
without weapons and he had made no
threatening demonstration towards
Day, IL the evidence is to be believed.
The plea that the attorneys who de-
Tended Day were young and mex
perienoed in such grave cases was not
entitled to much considerati ton. They
were appointed by a Judge who had
the roster of the Salt Lake bar to
choose from. If ne selected attorneys
who we're not qualified the blame right
fully belongs TO the judge, not to the
attorneys. And it is very much to be
doubted OF any attorneys. or all the
10
brought about the acquIttal of the de-
PENDANT or even a modification of his
sentence.
It is unquestiOnably true that. If ne
had beer possessed of abundant means,
If he had been able to hire attorneys
who would take advantage of every
technicality. his execution would have
been much longer delayed But the
purpose OF the law, as we understand
II, is t. deal out equal and exact Jus
tice. The trainers of the statute did
not intend that they should be used for
the protection rather than the punish
ment of criminals.
Always there is tragedy in violent
death, even when the man who is slain
is killed by due process of law. But
we must not forget the dead for the
living Days victim lies in the grave.
His lips are mute. The execution of
his murderer will not bring him back
to life, but it will vindicate and sus-
tain the majesty of the law, and It
may strike terror into the hearts of
other men who hold human life so
cheaply that they would take it with
out warrant Of any kind.

who arc compelled to drag their skirts
along the dirty sidewalks. Aside from
the uncleanness is the insanitary fea-
ture. 1t is a well settled fact that dis
ease germs are transmitted from one
individual to another in this fashion.
When the anti-expectoration ordin-
ance was first adopted the police dem
onstrated their ability to enforce it.
Several men were arrested and fined
for violating 1t. Then the rest became
more careful and, for a time. the side
walks and other forbidden places were
reasonably clean. Now let the police
take the ordinance up again. They
cannot hope to arrest all the violators
of the ordinance. They can arrest
enough, though, to demonstrate to
others their intent to enforce the law,
and orce that is shown we will again
have clean city.

The police department has been very
lax recently in the enforcement of this
ordinance, and the result is far from
satisfactory. No more attention is paid
10 the ordinance that If it had no ex-
istence. The sidewalks are filthy, the
street cars are not much better. and
the corridors OF public buildings are
about as bad as they can be.
This disgraceful condition should not
be tolerated. The practice Of expecto-
rating on sidewalks. in street cars and
other public places can be stopped, and
it must be stopped. Just now the
Christmas shoppers are beginning TO
throng the streets. A large percentage
of the shoppers Is made up OF women

THE OLD WELL.

The Herald the other day printed a
rhapsody on the old well. The writer
told of the JOY of returning, in his boy
hunting excursion. from the harvest
field and other places and going to the
old well for drink. He spoke of draw
ing bucket of water and burying his
nose in it as he drank it down with
eager gulps. Also he told of how the
buckets were often lost, and of how
they had TO be fished out with an ap-
paratus kept for the purpose at every
farmhouse.
Does 1t sound good to you, really ?
Don't you remember that the old well
was only about thirty or forty feet
deep, at most, that it was dug not far
from the barnyard and the pigsty, that
it rarely had a covering. that when the
rains came they washed the surface
dirt into it, and that occasionally there
were pollywogs in the water you drew
up? OF course you remember. And
you remember. too, that the buckets
were far from hygienic. 1t didn't seem
to occur to anybody to give them a
good scrubbing with disinfectants every
so often.
The "old oaken bucket, the iron
bound bucket, the moss-covered bucket
that hung in the WELL" sounds mighty
good in song. But long since the doc
tors put a ban on it, You don't find
1t on many well regulated farms these
days. They have artesian wells that
are driven far into the ground, wells
that are tightly covered over, and the
water is drawn from wells that have
no natural flow, with windmills or gas
olene engines, or even electric motors
Your modern farmer has water piped
all through his house and enjoys most
of the comforts of the city along with
the luxuries of the country.
Still, in spite of the fact that you
drank from the unsanitary well in
your bOyhood days, you were q healthy
youngster. You ran barelegged all day
long in the summer, and your appetite
made you think that there was Moth
ing in the world as good as the plain,
wholesome food that was set before you
in copious quantities. You think how
happy you would be if you could have
some of that same food right now, but
the chances are that if it was set be-
fore you, prepared exactly as IT was
prepared in the old days, you wouldn't
be bit hungry.
The Herald is not at all disposed to
iconoclasm. We wouldn't for the world
shatter any idols. At the same time
you must sometimes wonder how you
ever lived TO be grown up. You must
either marvel at this occasionally, or
you must conclude that the doctors
don't know what they are talking about
when they urge the safeguarding of the
water supply and talk learnedly about
the germ theory of disease. And that
dear friends, would be the rankest kind
of heresy.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-12-05

A dispatch from Chippewa Falls,
Wis, to the Chicago Tribune. says:
Fearful of being shot for a deer, Wen
sci Mikesh, who is a farmer near. here,
appealed to the authorities yesterday
for protection. He says he is weary
of being grazed by bullets, and that ii
is not safe for him to leave his own
doorstep" In view of the long list OF
fatalities due TO mistakes by hunters
in Wisconsin, do you blame the farmer
much? Nobody really wants to be mis-
taken for a deer by a fool at the other
end Of a loaded gun.
