An INoFFENsIvE C0LORED NAN MUIR
pERED WITHOUT PROvoCATION.-Anu npro-
voked and deliberate homicide was CON-
mittcd on Saturday night in williamsburg,
N. Y, by crowd of young desperadoes,
which for brutal malignity has been sell
dom excelled. An inotiensive colored man
named Charles II. Rogers was standing on
the sidewalk, when party of roughs came
up, one of whom-named Charles Kelly
without provocation, struck him stagger-
ing blow in the face with his first. Rogers
started TO get away from them, when he
was followed, Kelly remarking, "There's
the black son of b now let's give il
to him." and Immediately plunged knife
into the body Of the unfortunate man. in
iiicting wound which resulted In death
on Sunday evening.
The crowd of young rntiians were soon
after arrested and locked up. It seem.
that Rogers was wholly unacquainted with

mercilessly deprived him of lfe.-Neo

A FALSE STATEMENT CoR&CTED.-The
Providence Or. ~ Post has some re-
putation for vcracity. We were there.
fore surprised to find in 4 recent issue the
following statement
"The most influential papers of the South,
with few exceptions, = utterly scout the
idea that they will submit to taxation topay
the debt contracted to overthrow them,
while that contracted in their defence is
repudiatcd."
If one single influential paper in the
South has secuted the idea that we will
submit to taxation to pay the national
debt, it has not come under our notice.
There may possibly be one, though we
doubt whether there is. AT any rate, the
statement of the Post is directly the re-
verse of the truth; and it would become
that paper to retract it.

We must now work for tho future. We

wheels that transport it is dropped in their

Virginia IS drained and crippled.
Now, what Richmond has to do at this
la,o day, is what she is now not so ablSlto
do As she was years since. But her I'd ~
ton depends upon it. The Coyington md
Ohio railroad must be built. A straight
road from this city to Lynchburg should be
built at every and any cost. 1t is vital to
US. These, with our north side and water
connections with the tide, will enable us
to fight against interests which arc hurtful
to us, and do no ssSaSly good to Virginia.
To these We must add the canal. Recent
developments of chances for its construc-
ton inspire very great hopes that old men
residing here will yet see it finished.
With these works, this city will become
indeed great, and will secure to Virginia
a commerce and manufacturing interest
that will intellectually increase her popula-
ton, wealth, and resources. Make these
works, and tl~y iAte for Virginia: not
building up RidAmond merely, but many
other cities, which, without them, will
only continue to be way-stations on the
through lines which will want their help
to a little wood and water-nothing more
1t Is gratifying that ground has been
broken at Newport News, and VIC hope to
be able to chronicle in very short time
the resumption of work on the Covlngton
and Ohio road. Then let Richmond take
hold of the road to Lynchburg, and the
situation" will be much more hopeful.
But gentlemen of Richmond, these things
must be done, or we may as well give up
the contest.

Death of Ex-Governor Moorehead, of
North Carolina.

North Carolina.
The news of the death of Ex-Governor
JouH NJ. MooREMEAp, of North Carolina,
was received here yesterday. He died at
the Roekbridge Alum Springs on Monday
morning, in the SEVENTEEN year of his age.
He was born in Rockingham county, n.
c., on the 4th Of July, 1906. He finished
his education at Chapel Hill College, where
he graduated with distinction. As early
as about twcnty-one years of age he went
to the bar ut Greensboro. In that town
he married ANNA LINDSEY, lady of worth
and accomplishment.
Ills decided talents and great energy
attracted public attention to him, and
soon gave him State reputation. He was
early sent to thasLegislature, and was re-
turned frequently, sometimes to one and
sometimes to the other branch Of the
body. lie was elected by the Legislature
Governor of the State in 1910, over Gene
raj Il. NJ. SAUNDERS, and held the Office for
eight years, when, under the Constitution,
he ceased to be eligible. He did not after
wards hold any State Office until sent to
the Confederate Congress. lie was men,
Der of the famous Peace Congress, con-
vencd in 1861 to make last effort to save
the Union and avert the war, in which
body he gave his most earnest efforts to
promote the important objects for which it
was convened.
Governor MOOREIEAD was one Of the
most devoted advocates OF internal im-
provements, and did more for the develop
mcnt of the wealth and resources of North
Carolina than any man Of his day. lie was
| the father of the North Carolina Central
railroad, and held the Office of president of
that road for several years. He was libc-
raj in his views, and it was through his in
fuence that the Danvillc extension to
Greensboro was finally successful. His
practical mind and forecast made him the
ardent advocate Of all sorts of improve
mcnt, and especially of manufactures,
in which he embarked his own means quite
extensively. His last appearance to par
ticipatc in public business, was at re-
cent meeting of the stockholders of
the North Carolina Central railroad,
which he attended, although suffering
from indisposition. On that occasion he
made a speech which is represented by
those who heard it TO have hcen one of the
most able he ever made, and one of the
most powerful appeals in behalf Of inter-
nal improvements that was ever uttered.
In private life his character was re-
markablc for it's purity and simplicity. In
his relations he was without rcproach.
Being man Of very great ability, and
endowed with rare good sense and fore
caste, sustained by untiring energy, and
all his plans tending to the advancement
of society and welfare of his native State,
the death of Governor MooEEnEAD is an
event that may be regarded as, public
calamity.
