GREENVILLE PITT COUNTY. NORTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY
MR.
of One of Pitt's
for Jury Reform.
The argument made by Mr.
of Pitt in the

an equal chance with the

it wise legislation, much needed
legislation, and a step in the
right direction towards securing
fairer criminal trials in our courts.
This bill, if it passes will be pro-
of good results in the
more certain conviction f the
guilty and acquittal of the
innocent. For many years I
have been an of this

publicly asserted by a Superior State. In that address he con-
to have juries packed
. in
their behalf notwithstanding the
activities of the shrewdest law-
employed in their defense.
Two years ago as a member of
this house I earnestly sought to
have a bill enacted into law re-
, the number of
challenges allowed defend-
ants charged with capital crime
and r the State and de-
on an equality in that
respect. It passed this house
but failed in the senate or as I
row remember was smothered
to death in the committee. It
failed because of opposition to it
by lawyers in that body I do
not mean to say that all the law-
senators fought it but the
preponderance of influence was
largely that way. I state this
because it is a fact and not that
I question their right to do , as
they choose.
We are sent here, Mr. Speak-
as
people, to legislate for the pub-
lie good, to pass laws in the
interest of the many and not of
the few. to remedy defects, if
any exist, in. present laws so as
to make them effective and
serve the good purposes for
which they were intended. The
before us contemplates
changes and improvements
whereby fairer court trials may
be had in certain cases. The
of the Kill seem to me to
admit of no controversy and
should receive the hearty
val of every member of the
house. The State and a defend-
ant charged with capital crime-
should have the same and
rights in selecting a jury. Why
a defendant in this day and time
is given peremptory challenges
and the State only is more than I
can when considered in
the light of reason or justice. Why

tile
court judges, and as is known
generally by the public, it is our
duty as to this
unreasonable provision and put
the State and defendant on the
footing. In North I
of this striking
disparity juries are packed for a
defendant the prosecution be-in-.-
powerless to prevent it. On ac-
count of it jurors have been so
selected that it was practically
known what their verdict I

it is. and it calls f r

whereof I speak en I say that
packed juries have cleared d

beyond question proved them
be murderers. I know cases
where criminals have been ac-
through the disreputable
and corrupt methods of attorneys.
These are ugly and I re
fer to them with shame that
can be under our criminal
prudence.
And right here, Mr. Speaker,
is a good opportunity for me to
say that I have sometimes been
misrepresented as well as mis-
understood as respects my
ion of and feeling towards the
legal profession.
I may be considered by some
as perhaps prejudiced against
I may be considered
by some as being perhaps care
less and extreme of speech con
corning lawyers. I want to say I
am not so narrow of mind or
malignant of heart as not to

wherever I find him. I ad-
mire and esteem many true and
noble men of that great

in the legislature. They are val-
members and the state will
be by there services.
That profession furnishes able
men to fill the highest public

They are worthy to be printed in
the largest type and placed in a
golden frame to adorn the walls
of every lawyer's office in this
land. My admiration is great for
any lawyer who holds to correct,
just, and high id and jealous-
follows them in the practice

the other activities of life. I am
not mistaken, however, when I
say that some lower the stand-

with no sense of morality or ob-
ligation to the public, resort to
methods that are corrupt and to
tricks that are dirty to

the judge in applying the law to

talents in any case or under any
circumstances to thwart or de-

It . ., el deeply the importance of .
tins kind of legislation. I be-
it will have a far reaching
for good. To defeat the
bill would mean to keep upon
the statute books a law that
shows unreasonable partiality,
rank and gross favoritism, to
men charged with capital crime.
I believe in laws applying equal-
with special privileges to
none, in trials under our jury
system. Let the innocent go
free, but let not the guilty es-
cape through the weakness or
partiality of any provision in our
laws.
To reduce the commission o
crime it must be promptly and
adequately punished To check
the crime of murder which seems
to have little fear in our state,
murderers must be convicted
and forced to pay the penalty.
When we make the number of
peremptory challenges lair to
both aides, establish an equality
in that the good results
will soon be seen in our courts by
the more certain conviction of
the guilty. By passing this bill
we perform a duty we owe to
every peace-loving, law-abiding
citizen of our State, and I for one
shall always feel proud of the

so as to conform, safety and con-

per has already its open-
ion as to railroad regulations,
that there should be a reasonable
reduction in both passenger
and freight rates, but
to that end should be fair both
to the public and to the rail-
n tads.
But there is another matter
we wish to speak of now- The
eagerness of some men to strike
at corporations seems to
them to unreasonable extremes
which appear to be taken with-
out due consideration of the con-
sequences, either to the corpora-
effected or the people whom
the corporations serve. Such is
the nature of a bill now pending
in the legislature in regard to
telegraph companies- The bill
provides a penalty for
negligence, or to put it more
plainly to punish a telegraph
company for what might be con-
by a complainant of any
short comings among the thous-
ands of telegraph employees,
regardless of whether the com-
has suffered any dam-
being one and the same person
because the telegraph business
is far too to justify
pendent telegraph offices at such
points. Statistics we have read
show that the average telegraph
receipts at fifty odd of these
joint offices is less than per
month, eighty odd less than
per month and seventy odd less
than per The first
duty of the man in charge of
these offices is to the railroad fur
which he is agent, commercial
telegraphing being a matter he
can only attend to as time from
his other duties permits. If
delay should occur in handling
a telegram under these
stances, and such a law a
in the bill in question
should be in force, the telegraph
company could be penalized
while it would in no way be
responsible for the delay, yet
there would be no penalty rest-
on the railroad employing
the agent to attend to its

the telegraph companies could not
afford to take such risk by con-

Not too
Though dearly bought
many of us learn that we
are too ready to the
motives of others before we have
just cause. We often think we
have studied human nature so
closely that we can easily inter-
the action or course of others
into something wrong, when the
truth is, we are entirely
in our conclusions. When
do things for which they
ought to be condemned and
sured, we are excusable for con
and censuring; but
en then it is good to place as
good construction as possible on
such acts- In the we may
be mistaken in our conclusions
of disfavor; and if so the lighter
our condemnation of the other
person the less will we have to
regret when the whole matter
not called upon to trust and be-
in those whose reran are
net such as to give us reason for
such trust; but mild judgments
against those whose courses we
do not fully understand are
than too harsh criticism has-

Catarrh being
a, constitutional disease, requires a con-
treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucus surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do-
its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers that
that they have offered One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

Man Long Dead Turns Up.
About years ago a colored
man named Burney left
the Swift Creek section of this
county and went to Florida.
John owned a piece of land on
which there was a debt, and
after he was gone his creditors
took over the land and what per-
effects he left behind.
Time went on and nothing being
heard from John he was sup-
posed to be dead, and a year or
two ago his children started a
suit to recover possession of the
land.
The matter took on a new
phase last week when John
turned up alive and well. Learn-
had been done by his
children to recover the land he
decided to take the matter in
his own hands- He came to
Greenville Monday to consult the
lawyers who had charge of the
suit and had his own name en-
as suitor in place of his
children.
