Work of the Conscienceless Juror.
The Charlotte newspapers have
not had many kind words for the
jury which acquitted thfe two
white men who were tried for
murder in the Mecklenburg
court last week. From the evidence,
it seems that the killing
of the man Simpson by the
Hartises was a cold-blooded!
affair and without excuse. It1
was expected, therefore, that a
verdict would be returned against |
the defendants and that they;
would at least be punished by a '
term in the penitentiary, But1
there is no way of telling what I
a petit jury will do. This partic- ;
ular petit jury had a precedent
for acquitting the Hartises in the
verdict which was returned in
fVin U A/\rl *n 11 n?* nnon lnof 1
nit iiuvvi uiuiu^i taot loot
year. Then, as in the more!
recent trial, the State made out 1
a strong case against the ac- 1
cused, but in both instances the 1
law has been ravished and men
have been loosed upon society (
who, perhaps, only await another '
favorable opportunity to precipi- :
tate into eternity additional vie- 1
tims.
There is something wrong with J
the administration of justice in '
the Old North State. Red-handed
murderers stalk abroad up there
and no man's life is safe. But '
the same deplorable condition of 1
affairs exists in South Carolina
and the citizens of this State are
not in position to decry the spirit
of lawlessness among our neighbors
to the north. Population
considered, South Carolina probably
has more murders than
North Carolina, though it can be
said in truth that in recent years
there have been frequent evi-:
dences in this Commonwealth of
jurors holding to stricter account
the wanton destroyers of human
life. The fault, as we see it, does
not lie in the jury laws. It is in
the lack of conscience of the average
juror. When we devise a
mode to rehabilitate the con
science of the mediocre juror, |
then we may expect more justice
in the determination of murder
cases in which white men are the
defendants.
Governor Folk's Handicap.
There has been received at The
Times office a letter from the
Missouri Democratic league soliciting
the aid of this paper in
working up sentiment for the
nomination of ex-Governor Jos.
W. Folk, of Missouri, as the
Democratic candidate for president
two years hence. The letter
points out the claims which the
distinguished Missourian has to
the leadership of the party,
stating, in part, that he, "more
than any one else, originated the
present reform idea through his
efforts as circuit attorney and
afterwards as governor of Missouri."
There is no gainsaying that
Governor Folk has done much to
quicken the conscience of the
people with respect to the many
abuses which have grown up
under Republican administration.

those who have uncovered the
hypocrisy and pretense of the
Republicans. He has rendered
service to both the Democracy
and the people which is worthy
of distinguished consideration,
and this paper would be delighted
to see him elected
president. It is confident that
he would make an acceptable
executive to all save those who
have been or hope to be the
.
beneficiaries of the special privileges
fostered by the buccaneers
who have had control of the
government since Grover Cleveland's
day.
But it is a long, tortuous road
to the presidency and we fear
that Governor Folk will find a
lion in his path that he cannot
destroy. Unfortunately for the
governor, so far as reaching the ;
White House is concerned, there
is a handicap to success in the
fact that he is by birth a
kA/UtllCl Iltl, a ICIIUCddCC&ll* 1 1115 I
circumstance of Governor Folk's
birth is almost certain to defeat
him for the nomination, and if
not for the nomination, then in
the election.
Wellnigh half a century has
passed since the close of the
war between the North and the
South, but time does not dim the
recollection of the early '60s in
the minds of those who are ever
ready to profit in a political way
by waving the bloody shirt, and
without whose aid?more's the
pity?no Democrat can be elected
to the presidency.
Killing Newspaper Men.
"I never heard of anybody
being convicted for killing a
newspaper man; they ought to
be killed." Such was the remark
made some years ago by a
juror as an extenuating reason
for agreeing to a verdict of acquittal
in a celebrated South
Carolina case in which the defendant
was tried for the cold-1
blooded murder of an editor.
Right-thinking men abhorred the
sentiment and were not slow to
express the opinion that it was
worthy of a barbarian. But this
South Carolinian is one of a numerous
company.
The news dispatches of the
daily press tell from time to
time of the killing of some newspaper
editor, not infrequently
for a trivial offense, or alleged
affense, given the slayer. Then
in the course of a few months or
a year or two. the man who did
the killing is tried. The irial
usually results in acquittal, regardless
of the evidence of guilt
because the victim was a newspaper
man.
We have indeed fallen upon an
evil day if it is possible for anyone
with either a real or imaginary
grievance against the
newspaper man to take the law
in his own hands and do to death
the "offender" with the almost
certain sense of security from
punishment.
These thoughts are suggested
by the recent acquittal in Virginia
of a school teacher who killed a
newspaper man on the streets of
Warrenton a year and more ago.
Unless the press dispatches sent
out the day of the killing were
highly colored against the school
teacher, his neck should have
been cracked. But then his
victim was a newspaper man so
what's the difference!
