Bad Beginning, Good Ending.
Petersburg Index Appeal.

Petersburg lndex-Appeal.
There is all old and long accepted
adage that a bad beginning makes
good ending, and by that token we
are rather pleased than otherwise
with the discouraging talk respecting
Mr.. Bryan's prospects of success.
The benefits of this talk are twO-fold.
1t will stimulate Democrats already
strong in the faith to greater eXer-
lions to strengthen their weaker
brethren in the faith. But more i'm
portant than that, it will lead the
doubling ones gradually to reflect on
the conditions, and to a realization
that they have been laboring under
a misrepresentation OF the situation.
The reaction is bound to come, and
with it will come the zeal of the con-
vert. The Democrats who are now
doubling Bryan's chances of success
and predicting his defeat as inevita-
BILE, will be the most enthusiastic
shOuters for him next November.
Many things happen in the course OF
a campaign-many very remarkable
things. Mr.. Blaine, no doubt, was
as confident of his election to the
presidency as Mr.. Taft is now, and
probably no one was more surprised
at his defeat. The campaign this
year will be one of surprises. Mark
that,

Kitchin Will Make Strong, Honest

pays high tribute tie the character of

Those who vote for Hon. W. w.
kitchin, who will be the next Cover
nor of North Carolina, may rest sat-
isfied that they vote for a man who
is not only an able lawyer, but man
of clean life He is an earnest fol-
lower of the Lord Jesus Christ. This
means mucN when it comes to placing
men in positions of high honor md
trust. We had occasion to watch
his daily life through four years of
our pastOrate at Roxboro, and we
have nothing but good to say ofhim
as a man and a citizen. While a de-
vout member of the Baptist church,
he rarely missed our weekly prayer
meeting, and never hesitates to lead
in prayer when called on. He mar
ried one of our sweetest Methodist
girls at Roxboro, and she has been
an inspiration to him throughout
his political career. He will make
a strong, honest, and able chief mag

The Burglary Law.
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte Chronicle.
In Union county, one night last
week, a farmer walked to find two
burglars in his room. AS he made a
movement Indicating that he had
been aroused, one of the burglars,
who had secured the farmers gun,
shot him to death, in the presence of
his wife. The two burglars then
made their escape, having secured
trifiing amount Of money. They
have not been caught, and if caught
and convicted, they might not be
hanged, for the North Carolina law
prescribing the death penalty for
burglary, was graded, several years
ago, and under it, a burglar that de-
serves going to the gallows may,
and often does, go to the penitentiary.
The North Carolina Legislature made
a mistake when it tempered with the
burglary law. The protection of the
| people from the midnight assassin
. demands that the law be restored to
its original form. The burglar goes
prepared and intending to kill on
being detected. He is deserving of
the death penalty and there should
be no loop-hole in the law for his
| escape.

On Treacherous Ground.
RnIeigh Evening Times.

Raleigh Evening Times.
All that the Hartford COUrant can
find to say against John W. Kern,
the Democratic nominee for the vice
presidency, is that he is mot u man
of presidential quality in case the
uncertainty Of future events should
make that demand upon him" On
thispOint there may be room for diff
ference Of opinion, but there is abso-
lutely none as to the fact that Kern
possesses the presidential quality
to an infinitely higher degree than
jim Sherman, the man who occupies
the second place OH the Republican
ticket. Nor is Sherman's absolute
lack Of presidential quality" the
only or the most serious objection to
be urged against him. His individual
DEFICIENCIES are no less marked than
the vulnerableness of his public rec
ord. But all will be brought out in
good time. For the present it is
sufficient to suggest to our esteemed
Connecticut contemporary that it is
venturing upon treacherOus ground
when it brings into discussion the
question of what abilities, qualities
and qualifications a vice-presidential
nominee should posse IS. 1t is bound
to lead to comparisons, and com

publicans ought to wish to avoid.

Judge Neal Rendering the State
Some Service.
Statesville Landmark.

Statesville Landmark.
Judge Neal is doing the State and
the cause of right and Justice a great
service, as well as setting a worthy
example to other judges and public
men by calling attention to the fail
ure OF justice in homicide cases and
the cause. 1t cannot be denied that
under the present law a prisoner
charged with a capital offence is
practically permitted to select his
own jury. Any good lawyer, as
Judge Neal says, is sufficiently we'll
acquainted with the people of his
county to pick a jury favorable to
his client; and if it does not acquit
it will, in the great ajority Of cases,
convict of a less offense and thus
save the offender from the punish
ment he justly deserves. Time and
again efforts have been made in the
Legislature to change this law-this
fruitful source OF the miscarriage of
justice the efforts have failed.
They can only be successful when
public sentiment is so aroused on
the subject that it will brook no in
reference. There is ground for hope
when Superior Court judges, who
must fully realize the cause for SO
many failures of Justice, give their
influence to arousing this sentiment.
All honor to Judge Neal! The
public men and newspapers who be-
lieve in a just and fair administra-
ton of the law-who believe that
crime should be punished-should
give support to Judge Neal

Our Increasing Navy.
New Orleans Picayune.

New Orleans Picayune.
The launching of the battleship
South Carolina, following as it did SO
closely after the launching OF the sis
ter ship Michigan means that within
a comparatively short time the
United States will have its first two
ships of the Dreadnought type in
commission. The scheduled time for
the final completion of both these
ships is December, 1909, but at a
pinch the finishing touches could be
hurried so that the vessels could be
made available at a much earlier
date. The South Carolina and the
Michigan are sister ships in all par
ticuIars. They are each of 16, 700
tons displacement, therefore OF the
same size as the battleship Louisiana.
Their engines and speed will also re-
semble very closely those OF the
Louisiana type, as will likewise the
armor protection. There, however,
the similarity ends as the new ships
will not look at all like other 16, 600
ton ships, as they will have but two
SIdChs anu IL SlliSiC poiC h'ooO' A'N
battery will also be vastly different
from the earlier battleships OF the
same tonnage, as the two vessels just
launched will belong to the all-big-
gun type. They will mount eight u
inch guns in turrets located along
the centre line of the ship. This is
two guns less than the Dreadnought
mounts, but they can bring as many
guns to bear in brOadside az the En-
glish ship can. Our new ships, how
ever, are distinctly inferior to the
DreadnOught in the fire straight
ahead or directly astern, as the lat
ter can bring six 12-inch guns to
bear in either direction, while the
South Carolina and her sister ship
can use only four guns in fore and
aft fire. Following closely in the
wake of these new ships are two
Others, commenced two years later
which will exceed the original Dread
nought in size and in power and
rival her in speed. The vessels of the
Delaware class will displaee 10000
tons, and the speed called for in the
contract is 21 knots. In three years
from the present time this country
ought to have six Dreadnoughts il
commission and as many more il
various stages of construction.
