OFFICER FURNISS RUNS
DOWN A HORSE THIEF

Walter Sharp, charged with steal
ing horse from Ed Curtis of Beaver
creek Saturday evening, was taken in
tow by officer Furniss yesterday
morning and is being detained at
the city Jail The boy. who does
not appear to be over sixteen or
seventeen years old, worked for
Curtis on the ranch last summer
and familiar with the surroundings
of the country. When arrested he
stated that Curtis had promised him
u horse.
Until Saturday afternoon Sharp
was in the employ Of the John Kel-
ley bottling works which is the old
Henry Stein place on Petroleum
avenue Saturday afternoon lie
drove up town, tied the horses to
a telegraph pole and left them
there. Going to the Pioneer barn
he hired horse and rode out to the
Curtis ranch. and reaching there
about 8 80 at night entered the Curtis
barn and stole one of his best horses
and saddle.
Then leading the sotlen horse. re.
turned the Pioneer horse to the
barn aud then hunted up some feed
for the stolen one This feed was SO :
cured by scraping the loose hay from
the floors of tile box cars in the Rio
Grande yards. He Is said to have
been about ready to leave the coun-
try, when he was overtaken by the
local officer near the Sauta Fe depot.
The horse was cared for aud the boy
placed in Jail.
1t is not thought the young fellow
is short in his collections with the
bottling firm. as the management has
announced 1t will prefer no charges.
What Curtis will do in the matter
has not been deoided, but 1t is said to
be clear case of horse stealing and
II Curtis prosecutes the case. 1t will
undoubtedly go hard with Sharp. He
came here about one year ago from
New Jersey.

Making a Fine Character.

The sweetest bread that any man or
woman ever ate is that which is won
by their own energy, or deserved by
their usefulness. Whether labor be
that of the hand or the head, there is
dignity in it.
Do not stand around with arms akib-
bo until occasion tells you what to do;
don't live in hope with your arms
folded. Fortune smiles on those who
roll up their sleeves, put their shoul-
ders to the wheel and push!
To begin at the very foot of the hill
and work slowly up to the top may
be a very discouraging process, but
1t is precisely at this spot where so
many begin to spoil their lives.-Ex-

REGULATING The
BONDING COMPANIES

Whether the bill now pending In
the legislature to compel bonding
companies to deposit with the state
treasurer $50 900 as q guaranty fund
should become a law or not. there 10
no question that there is just as much
need for strict review and regulation
of such companies as there is for
8. milar action respecting ordinary
life and fire insurance corporations.
These bouding companies are in
sense insurance organizations. for
in consideration Of premium paid
by a property owner they undertake
tc indemnify him on account Of
any loss to which he may be sub.
jected through the fault Of build
ing contractor Properly and honest
ly conducted company of this
kind would be of great service to
people who, desiring to improve
their property, are yet not in o
position to watch contractor with
tho careful scrutiny that an exper-
fenced builder would give hia meth
DDS of doing business and his tran
sac tions with contractors and
workmen. Thus a guaranty may be
provided against ivss through be-
ing compelled to pay off mechanics
liens and other obligations after hsv-
ing already paid the chief contractor.
1t Is fact. however, that some of
these bonding companies seems to
give more attention to devising meth
ods by which they may avoid their
obligations than to any effort to in
sure honest work TN the part of the
contractors whose integrity and good
faith they guarantee Thus some of
the bonds they enter into are full Of
caluses and conditions that a credul-
Gus property owner may easily over
look and all such "jokers'', as they
are called, are promptly taken ad-
vantage of when it comes to ques.
tion of enforcing the obligations Of
the bond.
Just as a bonding company of this
kind properly conducted is of advsnt-
age chiefly to people of small means
and little experience SO it is pre- ci-
sely people of that class who are
most likely to fall victims to ir-
responsible companies which consld-
er that after having collected their
premiums. their chief business is
to find technical excuses for crawl
ing out of their obligations For the
protection Of people thus Liable to be
imposed upon the law should provide
strict regulation of all such compan-
les. Denver Republican.

Into Effect On May 10th. Col.
7. M. Washington Re.
Elected President.

One of the most enthusiastic meet
ings Of the directors Of the Eastern
Carolina baseball league was held in
this city last night. The admission of
Fayetteville and Rocky Mount was
granted. Thus the league will con-
sist of six instead of foul clubs.
The new towns which come into
the league are Rocky Mount and Fay

mington, Goldsboro and Wilson in the
making Of a league that is going to
give fine sport this summer.
Capt. T. M. Washington, of Wilson,
was reelected president of the league.
He was not a candidate, but was in

by a unanimous vote after there had
been eight ballots cast, with a dead
lock between Mr.. G. H. Gattis, of
Raleigh, and Mr.. Horace E. King, of
Goldsboro. The other officers elect
ed were Horace E.. King, of Goldsboro,
vice-president, and R. T. Gowan, of
Raleigh, secretary-treasurer and Off
cia1 scorer.
It was decided that the games
should begin on the tenth of May
and that there should be a season of
eighty-four games to the club. No
schedule was arranged, but this will
be at a meeting to be held on the 18TH
of March in Fayetteville.
Durham was represented at the
meeting by Mr.. S. H. Reams, but after
Rocky Mount had been awarded one
place in the six-club league Iayette-
vile won the other place.
The directors elected were as toll
lows:
R. A. Gwaltney, of Wilmington
w. E. Fenner, of Rocky Mount.
F. A Cotton, of Fayetteville.
R. D. Goodwin Of Raleigh.
/ Horace E. King, Of Goldsboro.

TESTIMONY AND EVIDENCE.

1t is to be hoped that the Cooper
jury will be completed speedily. In
order to secure II jurors nearly $500
men were gathered in from the back
districts of Davidson county and ex-
amined.
The effort to find II men who knew
nothing about & notorious political
case and who had read nothing about
it and who had no opinion the one
way or the other. has stood all along
as an obstacle to the selection of an
intelligent jury. The American jury
not come out of the ordeal with any
increase of sentiment in it's favor.
A jury will no doubt be selected,
but grave doubts will exist as to the
intelligence of the men composing it.
1t is indeed not too much to say that
they are either unintelligenu or dis
honest, and the tests that have been
applied to them should not be applied
in a case that has been on every
tongue n Tennessee ever since it oc-
Cured.
The jury system in this country has
often been discussed. A writer in the
New York Times thus relates his ex
perience:
During my solemn an dismal ex-
perience for a third of a century as a
juryman, from which it seems only
death can exempt one, l have observed
that of II men perhaps three or four
arc earnest enough to discriminate
between mere testimony and evil
dence: an equal number have a mis-
understanding Of the case and are
contentious, and the balance smoke
their pipes or cigars and are agreea-
BILE to the conclusions of the majority.
The whole wretched gang despises
both of the counsel for superfuity of
vocal gymnastics. It is a bitter or
deal, and then for the sake Of supper.
freside and other refreshments, we
simply agree to anything, when three
judges in less time and cost could ad-
judicate in equity"
All rue enough, but still the Amer
lean people will not soon let go of a
trial before a Jury Of ones peers.
But why should peers be sought
among the ill-informed and unintelli-
gent? The plan does not exist in 9TH
er countries, and there is really no
sense in Juggling it into trials of the
Cooper sort.

STAND BY OUR PRINCIPLES.

and through it all he has received a

republic, of which they are the saving
grace though he be not their choice,

This Southern spirit was admirably
manifested at tie Taft banquet in
New Orleans last Friday night: at
which too, Judge Taft more than re-
paid in kind .Le hospitality of the
winter capital of the United States"
His words expressed a better
sentiment toward the South than
probably ever fell from the lips
of a Republican President. The
time of intolerance is past,
the rule of exact but cold JUS

cordial relations is at hand. The op-

repeatedly thai the accomplishment
of his administt alton.
That the South is willing to meet
the next President half way in this
work is shown by the spontaneous en-
thusiasm his vi it's are calling forth
ell through this section. In Georgia
he was made to feel at home with ev-
cry grace of southern hospitality. In
New Orleans was rendered him what

along the way have seized the oppor-

find the task accomplished before it

But 'et not our people, in the exub-

glad and" which Judge Taft is ex-
tendine them, forget that the Demo-
cratic principle which the South
has SO intelligently advocated and so
periodically p~raperved and SO "solid-
1y" adhered to are eternally right, and
that the preservation, the perpetuity
of our free institutions depends upon
our heroic allegiance to those princi-
pies
II the principles of the Democratic
party were ever right they are forever
right. A solid South, therefore, is the
bulwark of our republic.

ON WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.

After a journey of nearly 10000
miles the 16 huge constructions that
constitute our battleship feet gather
ed at Gibraltar and on Saturday last
all steamed out, headed for Hampton
Roads. These same ships left Hamp-
ton Roads on December, 1907, and
they will return to it, barring acct
dent, on February %, 1909.
The great practice cruise illustrat-
&c the seagoing qualities of our fight
Ing ships in all sorts of weather, and
it has turned $4,000 men into excel
lent seamen. The ships are intact
and at no point did any considerable
delay occur because of the inability
of any ship in the fleet to meet the de-
mands of the commander. The long
schedule has been promptly adhered
to from start to Gibraltar at least.
! The country is proud of her battle
ship, and no doubt the big cruise will
operate to induce public sentiment
to favor the building Of still more big
ships. The present Congress has au-
thoriZed the construction of two
Dreadnaughts. England is, however,
building seven. England has now So
battleships while the United States
25. But England has adopted the
two standard rule. She has a small
army in a small country and she seeks
safety in a navy as large as those O
any tWo other countries.
This country lies on two great seas
and it is as important to defend ont
sea coast as the other. This seems t.
call for more ships, despite our isola
ton and strength on the land. N
country thinks aggressive action her
would be successful. Nothing shor
of a vast coalition could seriously be
come a menace to this country. How
ever, it is perhaps better to have ship
to defend both coasts, and this in il
self will make for peace. 3
