I" Riots in Mississippi" startled
the reader of the city papers this
week with bold and black head lines.
There had been bad feeling between
the white aud coIored settlers OF
Wahalak, Kemper Co., Miss, for
some time, and more bitter since the
election. two men met on the
road and had some difficulty. The
white man and his friends armed
themselves and went to the colored
settlement, and began to play havoc
as usual. The colored people resist
ed. Firing began on both sides and
two Of the most notorious white
leaders were killed. The colored
people fed, pursued by the whites.
who will shoot or lynch all who are
caught. The white women and men
burned the colored peoples homes
and destroyed every thug they
could lay hands on. 1t is called a
"race war" but is nothing more
than a factional fight, which we
would have here or anywhere were
the laws not strictly enforced against
white or black uransgressors. The
trouble in the south will never cease
until justice deals out the law effec
lively without regard to race or
color,
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1888-12-22

We are glad to know that there
is no truth in the dispatches flying
over the country that Gov. Wilsou
would certify to the election of all
the Democratic State and Congress
sional candidates without regard to
returns, and had ordered the State
militia to be ready in anticipation
of trouble. 1t is an outrage on the
fair name OF the state and good rep
utation of the people to thus publicly
brand them with infamy. The
South has lost too much by extremes
in politics, and we do not believe
that the people of West Virginia OF
any or all parties want this conten.
ton to go any further than the
proper courts and tribunals of Law
and justice. This cry Of fraud, mi
litia, and detectives shadowing every
movement IN politics gives ont the
idea of regular reign of shotgun
policy. Draw off your political
hounds, let the people demand OF
the officers and authorities decis
ion of the contested election cases
according to law, and stop inviting
discredit to the State and disaffec-
ton among the people.

Gone from earth, yes gone forever.

Never more on earth again.
Teach us, Heavenly Father, teach us,
How to win the cross he has won;
How to suffer with submission,
How to say, Thy will be done.

To heaven his spirit has fed;
Continue to love your Saviour,
He will comfort your dying bed.
