The McCue Case.

The following from the Richmond
ITmes-Dispatch in regard to a cele-
brated case will be read with interest
the country over:
"Under a decree filed yesterday in
the clerks office of the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals in the case
of j. William McCue and Others
against the Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance Company, in error
from the Circuit Court at Lynchburg,
a petition for a rehearing is denied.
This action means that the insurance
company must pay claim of the
heirs to the estate OF the late Samuel
McCue, of Charlottesville, for $40, 900
In the United States Circuit Court
the decision favored the insurance
company, but the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals at Richmond
reversed the lower court. and the re-
fusal of an application for a rehear-
ing finally ends the case, unless the
United States Supreme Court is ap-
pealed to. The petition for rehear-

j. Samuel McCue was hanged for
wife murder after a sensational trial,
and the claim was that the amount
Of the policy was not rightfully due,
as he forfeited his life. The final de-
cision, as the case is the only one OF
it's kind ever heard in Virginia, has
been long looked forward to with in

Mecklenburg Signers.
baltimore American Kepublican,j

baltimore American (Republican.j
President TAFT captured the hearts
OF q multitude OF the genial people OF
the Tar Heel State III his address at
celebration Of the signing OF the Neck
lenburg Declaration OF Independence.
The President seems to carry a blair
new stone along with him at times,
for he certainly gave to his audience
as fine a compliment Tor the act OF
their progenitOrs as could have been
framed. The Mecklenburg claim
has been something OF 81 Joke with
historians. but the people OF that
Southern community absolutely be-
lieve in it. Whether or not the earlier
document influenced the drafting OF
the Philadelphia declaration, it GER
tainly was 81 noble act OF patriotism,
entailing personal danger on the
part of those who entered into the
covenant to withstand with their
blood the British king.
1t was quite fitting that such en-
thusiasm rs vented itself in Mr..
Taft's audience should have been
signalized by a cloudburst, nor is
there implication in this that the at
mosphere was unduly heated by the
fine eloquence OF the speaker and the
cheers of his hearers. The South is
solid 1t is solid for Taft. The
Mecklenburg Declaration has gone
far toward enhancing the reputation
Of the most popular OF American
Presidents with the Southern people.

Taft Compared With Vance.
Greensboro Record.

Greensboro Record.
President Taft may not be an
orator, but the speech he made at
Charlotte pleased everybody except
his particular friends, the referees. "
The press not only praises it, but
every one who heard it. tits strange,
but in reading it one gets it into
his head that Mr.. Taft is somewhat
like Vance, and strange to say those
who heard him said the same thing.
He is open and frank like Vance;
sees and appreciates local conditions
like Vance, and still like him, what
he says is plain and hits the nail on
the head. In appearance he is not
unlike the late Senator and his nature
appears to be like him. But aside
from all this his Charlotte speech was
a great one; SO was the one delivered
at Petersburg. He impresses one
with the idea that he is not after ap-
plause, but seeks to do the right, re-
CARELESS of what happens. He is a
Republican, but man first; in other
words. politics is not his God by
long shot. OF course his reference to
the appointment of Democrats to
office was hailed with delight by par
tizans OF that creed, but with Mr..
Taft his acts are only a means to an
end. Back of it is the fact that he
wants the best men to hold the Of
fees and while he was a bit slow in
moving, he has been 'going some
since he got off" as the man said
about the race horse.

Skinner and Holton.
Ashevlle News-Gazette (Republican.)

AsheNllle NeWS-GaZette tRepu Dllcan.)
The State papers tell how A. +.
HoIton and Harry Skinner, the two
district attorneys, rushed into print
Immediately after the Charlotte cele-
bration to commend the utterances
of the President, who let it be known
that it was his purpose to continue
the appointments of Democrats in
the South.
These men, who are endeavoring
to make their future calling and cleo
ton sure, comprised a majority OF
the Republicans who attended the
Charlotte meeting. Skinner already
has a Federal position, but with an
eye to the main chance he was one of
the first to declare his candidacy for
the iudgeship. The President, when
importuned by the friends of Skinner
and the other candidates, was
prompt in letting it be known that
he would name q Republican if a
suitable" candidate could be found.
After sizing Skinner and the other
Republicans up be said they would
not answer the purpose, and he took
Il Democrat.
All the other Republican candi-
dates, together with those who had
rendered some service to the Repub-
llcan cause, very naturally felt the
humiliation of the Presidents decis-
ion, but if Skinner had a similar feel
ing he has evidently succeeded ad-
mirably in smOthering the emotion.
After being told by Mr.. Taft that
he was unfit to hold the position to
which he aspired, after having been
directly slapped in the face, he seems
to have iourneyed all the way to
Charlotte to turn the other cheek.
He now assures the President that
he, the President. was right in saying
that he, Skinner, was unfit to hold a
ludgeship. and in the light of subse-
quent events We are inclined to the
opinion that both he and the Presi-
dent were right.
We believe that when men want
Jobs that badly, when they are will
ing to pay that kind of price, they
ought to be left alone in the enjoy
ment of the emoluments of office for
life. 1t is the plain duty of the other
hundred and thirteen thousand nine
hundred and ninety-eight Repub-
llcans to withdraw, leaving Holton
and Skinner in undisDuted posses
sion of the field.

Why the Witness Didn't Whip Gov.

good enough to pass around:
The other day in reading over the

examination of witness Judge
Jones, l believe it was, who was do
ing the work. He made the witness
admit that he had taken part in
fights in Swain, in Madison, in Bun
cOmbe and in Pennsylvania counties.
He made him admit that he had been
fined in the police courts and in Su-
perior Court He made him confess
to about 25 different offenses.
Finally Judge Jones said: Didn't
Swain county,"
"No, sir, didn't do that" was
the answer.
Il ask you if you didn't whip Rev.
Mr.. Jones because he reported you
for blockading?'
"No, sir; never did that"
"Look-a-here, Witness" Numbered
Judge Jones, "didn't you meet him
out on the public road between such
and such points on such a day and
administer a whipping to him?'
No." said the witness, 81 didn't
do that, but since you asked me, if
you'll wait about a minute I'll tell
you just how it was. Mr.. Jones was
