rrtesay rrrrfIu;;ss- ,7suozrsr rcIrarKs-In IN
editorial, that if Gov. Holden believed the
Moore county testimony, why has he not
called upon the law abiding people Of the
State to assist him in the suppression Of such
horrible crimes; and in the case of refusal
on their part, he would have a better plea to
ask fort United States troops than he did when
the troops were sent to Alamance" We an
swer the Sentinel by saying that Gov. Holden
has appealed TO the law-abiding people of
the State in all his annual messages, in his
proclamation relating to Orange and Chat
ham and his last proclamation relating to
Alamance: that he not only appealed to
law abiding people but he gave them his
moral support, rendered them the militia
and secured the services OF two special
companies of United States soldiers for
their protection. Such law-abiding citi-
zens as Captain Pride Jones and Captain
N. A. Ramsay of Chatham responded to
these appeals, and have accomplished much
good for although they were not Repibli-
cans, they were citizens worthy of confidence
and respect in the highest degree. So mach,
therefore, for the pcurile complaints of the
Sentinel. And they appear especially hippo
critical, when we remember that that piper
denounced each of the appeals made bl the
Governor as stated above, ridiculcd hi mi
litia and the efforts of the United States
troops to maintain and preserve the lfacc,
discouraged the efforts of Captains bnes
and Ramsay, and finally wound up b de.
claring that there, was but ono settlement
which could be Effected, and that w;b for
the King Of the Kuklux and the Pres lent
of the Leagues to shake hands and dis band
their organizations. We think that tn ease
in the complaint Of the Sentinel has now
been made out clearly, and we submitit TO
the decision Of public opinion.

To Distillers.

. We are confident that we can promise the
people repeal of the law SO unjustly re-
stricting the distillation of fruits. The law
as it exists is certainly very cruel and un-
just -Yet it is the law, and for that reason
should be strictly observed. Let petition
after petition be drawn up and sent to our
representatives in Congress. Such messages
VIII not be unheeded, and may help to has
ten favorable legislation. In the meantime,
remember that no revenue officer has right
to do anything more than seize and close an
illicit distillery. He has no right to remove
the property, or any portion thereof, of a
distiller We counsel both to strict obser-
vance of the law. We have always done
this. 1t is the only panacca for existing
evils-cyils too numerous to mention.
We appeal to Congress to consider well
our rights and necessities. We want this
prohibitory tax on brandy removed. We
do not want to see the orchards Of our hon
est, hard working people bloom only to
yield fruit for decay We believe it to be
our duty to warn Congress in this respect,
and VIC do SO, not only in the name of the
