HIGHWAY ROBBERS IN ROANOKE:
Mr.. Il. Il. Camden, of the City Postotfice
Held Up Yesterday Morning..

Mr.. +. II. Camden, of the City Postottice,
Held Up Yesterday Morning.
The frequent occurrence of robberics
and the boldness of the perpetrator
seems to show that there is a regularly
organized gang of thieves in this city
which can only be broken up by vigorous
and determined efforts on the part of
the police. The latest outrage of this
kind occurred yesterday morning about
o'clock and Mr.. Il. r. Camden. a clerk
i'll the city postofiice, was the victim
lie was going to the Office. as hisduties
required, from his home in the south
eastern part of the city, and when near
the corner OF Robertson and Henry
streets met negro man and woman.
The former called to him to halt at the
same time flourishing heavy club.
while the latter rapidly searched his
pockets, taking from him pockct-book
containing $45 in currency and 81 in
silver. After taking all the bank notes
the woman returned the pocket-book
with the two silver dollars in it,
While the robbery was in progress
Mr.. Camden was threatened with instant
death if he made any noise, and being
completely at their mercy he obcyed
the injunctions. The clerks in tho
postclice were paid of Yesterday and
the robbers must have been well aware
of this fact.
Though near to day it was too dark
for Camden to he able to recognize his
assailants. 1t is hoped, however that
the police should take the matter in
hand and leave no stone unturned till
the miscrcantS have been discovered
and punished.

averred that she had not tasted any
thing of any sort, except cold water,
for three whole days, and that when
they managed to beg some potatoes her
stomach refused to retain any food.
Such are examples of the distress
which the failure of the potato crop
entails upon the Irish people. They
might be numbered in the thousands.
But the Irish people had measured
the depths of human misery before the
sympathy of their fellow beings could
reach them. Every one of the horrors
narrated previously happened before the
donations of mcrciful humanity could
be distributed.
Shall these things happen again?
If not, there must be no delay in ex-
tending aid. 1t will not do to wait until
the Irish people have proved the ex-
lstence of famine by dying by scores for
lack of food.

highways because Americans have said:

not now?'

Fanatics" and "Dreamers".

To quote the following lines from his
poem on wendell Phillips is the
highest tribute that can be paid to the
memory of John Boyle O'Reilly:
Fanatic" the insects hssed till he taught them
to understand
That the highest crime may be written In the
highest law Of the land.
"DisturheT, and "Dreamcr!' the Phiistines
cried when he reached an ideal creed
Till they learned that the men who have
changed the world, with the world have
disagreed;
That the remnant Is right, when the masses are
led like sheep to the pen
For the instinct Of equity slunbcrs TIL reused
by instructive men,
1t IL not enough to win rights from "A king and
write them down In a book;
New men, new lights and the code Of the
fathers the sons may never brook.
What Is liberty now were license them their
freedom our yoke would be.
And each new decade must have new men to
determine its liberty,
Mankind is marching army, with Il broadening
front the Will"
Shall II crowd It's bulk on the farm paths or
clear to the outward file?
Its pioneers are those dreamers who heed
neither tongue nor pen
or the human spiders whose silk IL wove from
the lives of tOilng men
