Mr. r. II. NJ Harrison, of the firm OF
Harrison & Pierce, druggists, was shot yes
terday evening with parlor-rifle and bad
ly wounded.
He. in company with Policeman Chester
man and two or three other gentlemen,
had been out to pond in Hanover county
20 Ash. On their return they stopped at
Bartons Heights, and Mr.. Harrison pointed
out several improvements that had been
made there. While admiring the surround
ings somo small boys came along IRON
hunting and stopped near the buggy IN
which Mr.. Harrison and Ohicer Chester
man were seated, and one OF them pointed
a parlor-rife toward the vehicle.
Mr. Harrison spoke 20 the boz about the
danger of such practice aud told HIM 10
point MS weapon IN some other direction.
The words had hardly been spoken before
the weapon exploded aud the ball struck
MIR Harrison just back OF his right ear.
The wound WAS very painful, and 1t was

Tho uneuspecting citizen had no cOuCen-
ton that an appeal 10 the Council 70 apate
the nuisance Of pOp-crackers would have
aroused such resentment, such indigna-
ton. surely not on the part Of the Council
itself. The petition was respectful, and
claimed to be written IN the interest oi
good order, public morality. and safety OF
the properly of the citizens. and how
il could give rise TO evaporation or
invoke feelings of condemnation on
the part of any, and especially tho
Council. ia past all explanation. j.
would look as II we were declared OF
that condition Of civilization that permit
ted the least common sentiments OF pro-
pricty among men: that we do not know

laudnble sentiment would not be snubbed;
that we had over-cstimated the pubic IN
terest in good breeding. and mlstooA order
and good behavior AS the popular side Tor

hind the agc rs not 60 know that hcen-
cious and reckless spirit OF public sports,

such deep root "a TO be able to yiudlcate
its rights in the councils OF legislation ana
intimldate the privileges OF peaceaDie Pc
tition Of those who certainly have an
equal interest at stake IN the puolc
welfare.
Are we 70 be rebuked for asking that
riotous and immoral conduct be sup
pressed: that q petition 10 that end Is too
LONG and need not he read-an 9Npedient ot
people who want % foot composed OF SIX
inches? How could the good people Of
Richmond conclude the Carr.n gtonlsm had
it pictured the Council as well ~ the boys?
Oh they say il is not the boys who are
So bad. but the lewd young men, and many
who will see their wisdom teeth no more.
All. il is these who make the boys so bad.
and so Darlington pitiec the boys, just
as the Council must be pitied.
This matter ia not an underwater ;
calt,e. lisa subject IN which the gold
and law-respecting citizens are concerned;
at the same time. what imperls the under
w.iter imperils the public also. All arc
not insured. and even the loss Of the un-
derwriter is public loss. and We trust there
are Solomons enough 10 SEQ 1t Whatever
others may think.

picture triumphantly spread upon the

for returning reason. Til then, good-boy.

with grim satisfaction. They declare
the permanent works which the French
have thrust forward into their front line 70

only serve to hamper the offensive action
of French armies IN the field. They affirm
that the works are useless even from the

less az military obstacles. The offensive
action Of modern field artillery IS year By
year increasing IN power as fresh chemical
discoveries are made. The French are
strengthening their works with concrete

not proof against the powerful "fulmi-

constructed for their rifed feld-mortars.
