The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1911-11-23
State VS.. A. Nj. GOuge.


In the Supreme Court there was
argued Tuesday, among the cases
from the Thirteenth District, that of
the State VS.. A. M. Gouge, from
Mitchell, in which the defendant, a
deputy sheriff of Mitchell, was SEN
fenced to twenty months in the coun-
ty Jail, after being convicted of fraud
ulently mutilating and changing the
tax books for certain townships in
Mitchell County. In this case the
amount was S4,06S.
The defendant contends that he
could not be indicted as the tax list
is not a book wherein deeds and 9th
er instruments of writing are regis
tered; that it is not book of record
required to be kept by the Register
of Deeds; that copy of the abstract
is not required to be filed with the
Register of Deeds; that the law does
not require the grand total of each
township to be placed in the record,
and that as the evidence showed such
grand totals to have been changed,
the indictments is not good. The
State holds otherwise. There are also
exceptions to evidence admitted and
evidence not admitted and to parts
of the charge Of the judge.

Dogs Find Body of Child.

Lexington, N. c., Nov. 21.-This
afternoon news reached Lexington
that the body of an infant had been
found in the woods near Yadkin
College, and that there was great
deal of excitement in that village and
surrounding community. Coroner
Peacock was summoned from his
home at Thomasville and carried to
the scene of the crime. When he
arrived he did not find sufficient evil
dence to make the assembling of a
coroner's jury worth while, and he
returned home.
The body of child had been de-
stroyed by dogs. 1t was found Sat
urday evening by small son of Mr..
J. w. Walter, prominent farmer
Of that section. The boy was pick
ing cotton and he heard the dogs
growing at the edge of the cotton
patch, in some briars. Thinking
that they had rabbit or a possum
he ran to see what was doing and
saw the dogs scrapping over the dead
body of a baby. Apparently the
baby was full developed and the boy
thought that it was white. When he
went home, by strange lapse OF

times as high rate per ton per mile.
Again, produce of all kinds, whose
value is variable, is required to pay a
freight rate of thirteen mills per ton
per mile or seven times as much as
sugar. In fact, in the whole list OF
comparisons given, regardless of the
value of the materials shipped per

low rate, running from one-third to
one-eighth Of the rate charge on

The Enormous Power i'm the Hands
of the Railroads.
With the railroads given such DOW
er as this unchecked, they have in
their hands the power of life and
death over every business and over
every section Of the country. These
facts become of tremendous import
ance in view of the action of the
Commerce Court in overruling the
order of the Interstate Commerce
Commission made upon such facts,
and they are also of tremendous i'm
portance in view of the testimony
that Mr.. Baker has just given before
the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee.
In short, our Government, when
ever it allows any natural monopoly
to go into private hands, is placing
into such private hands power that
is liable to become stronger than the
Government itself. If this terrible
condition of things cannot be regu-
lated bylaw, then there is but one
remedy, and that is government own
ership of railroads and all natural
monopilies, and it is a remedy that
should not be long delayed.

FOUNDED HALF CENTURY,.
Town Preparing to COL
citrate Advent of Railroad.

Special to Times republican,.
Treynor, June 11.-ThiS little city OF
1000 people has at last been found.
Founded soon after the organization of
PottaWattamie county, Iowa. 1t then
lost itself but thanks to modern pro-
gress and the railroad 1t Is now about
to realize the dream of its founders, for
4 railroad has been built from Council
Bluffs here and everybody in the town
is CORES pondingly happy. For nearly
half century every item OF freight
has been hauled from Council Bluffs
over the hill to Treynor. When the
town was located it had great hopes. 1t
was In direct line with the great trans
continental highway which then bid
fair to soon change to railroad line
extending across the continent Year
after year passed, men grew old and
died but the hopes Of the remaining
citizens never died and while the pop
ulation at times has slightly fluctuated
it has always reacted and resumed it's
normal level.
June % has been fixed as the date for
a celebration of the advent Of the rail-
road-the Omaha and Iowa Short Line
and the things shat will not be done
on that day will be those not worth
noticing.
