MUSE CONVICTED.
Rowan Man Goes to Prison for Passing
Counterfeit Money.

James J. Muse, of Salisbury,
was convicted in the Federal
Court at Asheville yesterday of
passing counterfeit money and
sentenced to the United States
prison at Atlanta for thirteen
months. An Asheville dispatch
says that several months ago he
was arrested charged with passing
the queer" He was given a
preliminary hearing before United
States Commissioner Mccall and
held in $1,000 bond. The bond
was made and while some persons
familiar with the q g held to the
opinion that the accused would
not present himself for trial they
reasoned wrong. When court con-
vened here this week Muse was on
hand. He had employed to rep
resent him ex-Judge Thomas A.
Jones and Eugene Way, and a
hard fight was made for the mans
acquittal. The two principal wit
nesses for the prosecution were
negro women who alleged that
Muse had given them counterfeit
money. .
The case was concluded yester-
day about noon and given to the
jury. From that hour until 10
this morning the jury elaborated
and finally returned a verdict of
guilty. Muse had confidently ex-
pected acquittal and the verdict
of guilty completely upset him.
He broke down IN the court room
and wept. In passing sentence
Judge Boyd at first instructed
that the convicted man be con-
fined in the United States prison
at Atlanta for a term of Is
months. Judge Jones interceded
in hehalf of his client and urged
the court to reduced the sentence,
arguing that Is months was a
pretty long time to deprive a man
of his liberty. In his efforts
Judge Jones was partially success
full. Judge Boyd finally reducing
sentence to thirteen months.

The Child Marriage Evil.

In some respects the North Car
DINA counties bordering on South
Carolina have reason to consider
the Palmetto State and inhospi-
table neighbor if rot a menace.
In South Carolina the marriage
laws are very loose, the legisla-
ture of that State persisting in
refusing to pass a marriage license
act. That State as persistently
refuses to pass a divorce act, and
while it is impossible to diss I've
the marriage tie in South Caro-
lima, the ease and laxness with
which couples can get married is
a reflection in the opposite direc-
ton. The loose marriage system
in our neighbor Carolina is a great
and grievous temptation to North
Carolina couples to 60 over the
line to get married, many of the
couples being minors who find it
impossible to get marriage license
in North Carolina without the
consent of their parents. There
is an Interstate line of about $50
miles between the two Carolinas
and the child marriages along
the border have grown into all
evil that is justly complained Of.

the railroad commission showed signs
of enforcement, their attitude under
went a quick change. The unusual
sight of a flagman guarding the rear
end of every train now greetS the
sight, and as required by the law, ex-
ira men have been put on every train

make up the full quota of six. 1t has

INTERCHANGE is PROPER.

The citizens of Richmond through
the Commercial club together with
the officials of the c. C. G L. railway
Nave petitioned the State Railway
Icommission to secure interchange of
freight between the c., C. G L. and
the Pennsylvania system at Rich
lInond. The Pennsylvania system has
sent in it's objection to the state com
mission declaring that the amount of
new business to be secured through
the interchange of freight would not
Justify the expense of making the nee
essary connections
The citizens of Richmond recognize
very clearly the advantages that
would accrue to this city were an in
terchange of freight made possible.
The factory sites on the south side
would become a great deal more val
nable and factories already located on
the south side would be greatly bene-
fitted. The Starr Piano Co, for ex-
ample, can load cars for shipment via
the c., c. & l.. at its own factory; to
however, il must either go to the ex-
pense of sending pianos across the
city by drays to the Pennsylvania
freight depot, or else if car is loaded
on the c. C. & L. tracks it must be
interchanged at some intermediate
point miles outside the city.
The Pennsylvania may be correct in
its contention that the present amount
of business would not justify the ex-
pense of making the connections for
an interchange of freight But that
does not necessarily mean that the
Pennsylvania position in regard to
the matter is right. On the contrary
the future growth of the city should
be considered. An Interchange of
freight now would materially help the
only afford better shipping facilities
for present manufacturers but would
also be an additional advantage to Of
fer prospective industries desiring
location in Richmond.
From this viewpoint, therefore, it
looks as though the Pennsylvania
objections should be over-ruled by the
commission and the interchange rem
dered possible. In a way it looks as
though the Pennsylvania objections
may be selfishly made in order that
the c., c. e L., minor railway, can
not have the advantages it would re-
ceive by the Interchange. In this
case, however. the interests of the c.,
G. & L. are Identical with the inter-
ests of Richmond's manufacturers, a
fact that should have considerable
weight with the decision of the COM
mission which meets in this city on
the 25th of June.
