In MEMORIAM

In fond remembrance of my
dear child, OMART. MEDLlN, who
died June the 16, 1916.
just one year ago to day dear Omar,
God called you from earth to Him,
And ever since that fatal day,
The world has not seemed half so gay.
You suffered but murmured not,
You bore ii day by day,
Until at last with smiling face,
You left me and passed away.
More and more each day miss you,
Though some may think the wound
is healed,
But little do they know the sorrows
within my heart concealed.
1t is where the flowers blooming,
And the stars look down so bright,
That is where We laid our dear one,
Ever more from mortal sight.
Ger his grave the birds are singing in
the sunlight sweet and free,
But they cannot bring my Dear Child
back again to me.
But in my dreams he will ever be.
Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to
Thee.
MOTHER.

Heralds Publication Of W. B. Hale,
Bribery Charges Against J. B. Vim.

Twenty thousand
was Asked
JURY OUT FIVE HOURS

A round one hundred simoleon!
was the price placed on the dam
ages done to J. Burkett Vincent,
of near Rosemary, through the
publication in the ROANOKE
RAPIDS HERALD of bribery
charges against him, by a jury
of his peers on last Thursday
afternoon.
Readers will recall that the
HERALD was served with notice
of action for libel by J. B. Vim
cent, early in May 1916, follow
ing the publication of an entirely
inocuous news article relative to
the conduct of the school election
in New Hope Hockaday district.
The HERALD decided to stand
pat, believing it had told nothing
but the truth and holding that
its readers were entitled to news
that was news, and published in
the next issue a facsimile Of the
affidavit of W. B. Hale, stating
that Vincent had offered him g
suit of clothes to vote against
the special tax.
Counsel for Vincent tried to
secure a retraction of the charges
from the HERALD and failing
in this brought suit against the
Herald Publishing Company for
twenty thousand dollars damages
for libel, ten thousand dollars
being claimed on each issue.
Judge Oliver H. Allen, who
presided, ruled that the first
issue did not contain libel, and
ruled that the plaintiff was en-
titled to only actual damages
provided libel were proven in the
second issue. Counsel for the
Herald placed W. B. Hale on the
stand and he swore that Vincent
had offered him a suit of clothes
to vote against the tax, giving
the time and place and accom-
panying details. Vincent swore
that he had not offered Hale the
clothes. Character witnesses
testified to the good regulations
of both men but the jury's
verdict implies that they believed
Vincent and not Hale.
The jury was out five hours
and the verdict came as a
surprise to the majority of the
people who heard the testimony.
