WOMEN RESENT
"MERCILESs" CHARGE
WHILE ON JURY

NEW YORK, July l3.-In our

Brayer than he was, even.
While the Gallo Georges invited
trouble with only one strong man,
consider the temerity of E. M. Bal

all women merciless. He declares
he will have none of them on the
jury which will pass upon the case
OF his client, Walter Brockman,
charged with first degree murder.

peremptorily," he said mo, don't
mind stating my reasons. The rec
ord thus far in criminal cases has
shown that woman jurors always are
for conviction.
Women are merciless, much more
so than men, he told the court.
This from the state Of Ohio, where
sits the only woman Judge in a Grim
inal court, Florence Allen, first Of
her sex to serve IN court OF gen.
eral jurisdiction.

woman puror were brought to our
attention by Mrs. Raymodn Brown,
member of the New York State league

Woman Jurist's Views on Jurors
THE best answer to this charge is
contained In an articlue by Judge AL
len in recent number of the WON
an Citizen" said Mrs. Brown, who
is also managing director of that
suffrage publication.
She points out one phase Of the
woman pury question that is worth
considering-that 1t is difficult to
get men of intelligence and education
to serve on juries. They are alb
sorbed in their business ard try to
make excuses.
Such men feel they simply cant
afford to give up their time to jury
duty. But there is large class Of
Intelligent women who have the leis-
ure for this service, and they should
be given the opportunity for il.
Women are usually suspected Of
being too lenient on puries and Judge
Allen brings out these points in these
paragraphs" Mrs. Brown said, quot
ing the article, as follows:
"'There has been some question
whether the women jurors would not
be too sympathetic and let criminals
go scot-free or allow them undue
leniency. This doubt certainly has
not been borne out nmy experience.
John Azzarello was tried for first de-
gree murder before me and found

GO YE THEREFORE AND TEACH

Rev Morrison Bethea, rector of
st. Timothy'S church, delivered a
very interesting and eloquent sermon
from the text, GO Ye Therefore into
eli nations and teach the things
whatsoever | have commanded you,
and behold l am with you always.
Mr.. Bethea said in part that this
was a specific declaration of the Sa
viour for the purpose of driving home
the principals which he presented to|
his disciples and those who heard
him on earth, and he used the words
of the Saviour to impress upon his
own congregation their responsible
ity right here, at home, in the work
Of church building and uplift of the
community.
While it is commendabIe to have
fine churches and large congrega
tions it is more necessary and farI
Ii ore important to see that the pr!n-
ciples that the Saviour taught and
the examples which he set were kept
continuously before the people of the |
church and the community.
The Wilson church should have a |
definite purpose in view. 1t should |
assist in the work of spreading the
gospel abroad, and it should also
/ ush the work of home missions in |
our own community.
Referring to the splendid work |
that the church has accomplished |
broad he mentioned a number of |
North Caroiinians, who had carried !
the gospel to the far off wilds of |
Alaska, and China was throbbing un-
der the influence of the religion of |
the Saviour.
Coming back to the home church
and following out the system as laid
down by the church board, it was his
purpose to organize IA classes, Mr..
Rethea said, and he wanted twol
teachers for each class, one of thesel
an assistant to be present during the
Sunday school hour that they might
also become efficient and could take
the place of the teacher. during en-
forced absence.
He also expressed confidence in the
cooperation of the parents and chill
dren and the congregation in gen.

ADDING INSULT TO INJURY

Mr. w. I. Dabney, business mana
ger of the Richmond Chamber of

recent publication which quote: him
: as saying with reference to the Will
son games thrown out by President
Bradley, that 1.-The team must have
peen guilty of the vi3tation, and
surely there can be no complaint
when it is called to task for it,
With all the assurance that has
characterized the Virginia cities IN
their consistent effort to prevent
North Carolina from securing just
freight rates which has built the
Virginia cities at the expense of
North Carolina, Dabney gives express
sion to the sentiment that we will be
compelled to continue to buy from
Richmond as heretofore. Mr.. Dab
ney is further quoted as saying:
Rlchmond's goods are purchased
m North Carolina because thew arc
as good as any that can be had for
The purchase, and because of deliy-
cries. 1t is strictly a business promo
sition with the merchants, and they

OF outstanding love for our city.
And l don think those who have
contemplated the boycott will per-
init that plan to prevail"
Mr.. Dabney speaks of the out

ness men of Richmond.
Mr. Dabney seems to forget that
lcVe is reciprocal proposition. and
that it is very difficult to love those
who are forever and eternalIy taking
advantage of one when ever the op-
portun1ty affords. If the Virginia
cities have ever done anything to Sc
cure and hold the friendship of the
pepole of North Carolina we fail to
find it.

GOVERNOR MORGAN'S STATE
MENT

Governor Morgan of West Virginia
has issued lengthy statement as to
why he asked that Federal troops be
sent to his state to put down the in
surrection which was started by the
miners recently.
He indicts severely the mine lead
ers whom he said were responsible
for the trouble in that they We're en-
deavoring to unioniGNe the district
when non union labor was employed.
AS a result of this 'me 5000 de-
luded miners left their homes and
started on march to compel non
union miners to quit work and join
the union.
The Governor says that he is a
sworn officer of the law and as such
it is his duty to see that the law is
enforced. Answering the charge
that the whole trouble is the employ
ment of the Felts detectives he re-
plies that it has been necessary to
employ detectives and State police
for the reason that the National
guard of the State is not organized,
and the frequent assassinations and
destruction of mine property and
ether crimes incident thereto made
1t necessary to employ Il citizen DO
lice.

by the name of Joe Lee, or Joe Brodie
(the woman going by both names)
when a negro named Clifton Johnson
came in with pistol which they
were examining and that it accident
alyy fired and struck the Williams
woman.
Other statements do not agree with
this however. 1t is said by some of
the witnesses that the Williams wo-
man came into Joe Lees home from
her home on Stantonsburg street with
Joe Goffney. AS they passed along
the street residents heard Goffney say
to. her "If you go with that man 1
will kill YOU" They went in the house
and staid there a while and later the
Williams woman started to return to
her own home, and had stepped from
the door into the yard. Goffney asked
her where she was going and she re-
piled 81 am going home,'' Goffney it
is said, told her to come back
minute. She returned and he shot her
without another word and without
provocation. The woman ran out on
the porch and soon bled to death.
Clifton Johnson also told two diff
ferent tales about the killing. At first
he said that they were examining the
pistol and it accidentally fired strik-
