ORGANIZE AND KEEP UP
THE LOCAL MILITARY.

The events attending the ar
rest and incarceration of a sup
posed negro murderer in Char
lotte last week, should put
every place in the State on notice
in maintaining a military com
pany.
Here the presence and effective
show of the splendidly equipped
superbly drilled and brave, de-
ternined Hornets Nest Rifemen,
Capt. Robertson' alone proven
ted the raiding OF the Jail, the
certain killing of some the good
people, and the probable sacking
of the city of Charlotte by an
Infatuated negro mob.
The scene was a terrible one.
preconcerted signal of the ring
ing of their chuch bells, the
negroes assembled in hundreds,
and threatened the most outra-
sgeous violence against the peace
and put in deadly peril the homes
and lives of women and children
as well as the active citizens and
peace officers of the city. And
the presence of this splendid
military company also prevented
certain hot headed white aven-
gers of outrage from committing
worse crime than murder, a mob
lynching of a prisoner in jail.
Those localities that are indif-
ferent to this matter of military
protection will one of these days
bitterly repent their criminal
carelessness. The blood of good
citizens, the lives of women and
children will of these points pay
the penalty of the supreme Mig
gardliness of the men in those
communities where worship of
the God of gold is too allabsorb-
ing for consideration of the
plainest and most absolutely
necessary measures of protec-
tions and defence.
We are going to have more and
more of this trouble from an ir-
Responsible vicious class which
seems to increase in members
with the years.
No towns can afford to go
without its local military com
pany. Life in such a commune
ty is worth just as much as it
would be on a slumbe1'ing volca-
no.
Any town which has such q
military force should see to it
TINT it is kept up to the highest
state of efficiency.

The SIN aIIpox Cases

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April 22.--
There has been no increase of small
pox cases at Bristol. That section
of southwest Virginia about Big
Stone Gap, is in turmoil of excite
ment over the eases there. 1t is not
known how this disease got started.
The superstition is that some rail
road hand came from Texas point
where the disease has been preva-
lent during the winter. 1t is not
likely that the scourge will become
epidemic, since the warm weather is
so near at hand.

Speaking of the decline or ex-
tinction of our various schools of
journalism. The Washington
Post suggests that a course at a
good law school would be an ex-
cellent preparation for a journal
istic career. This is good advice.
When a young man is able to
write acceptably for a newspa-
per, a couse of legal training will
classify his mind, strengthen his
powers of investigation and ac-
quaint him with political and
legal principles, which he will
have accession to apply to many
subjects in the course of his news
paper work.-Atlanta Constitu-

absolute necessity torelieve the glut.
This is the first effort made for the
river markets, except by rail, though
to New Oaleans, and Pittsburg has
held her own against that compcti-

"Ways that are dark" though

Other News by Wire.

LONDON, April 2S.-Berlin advices
state that the position of England in
the event of war is eagerly discussed.
The opinion is freely expressed in
well-informed circles that England
would probably not interfere unless
Egypt or some British possession
would be threatened by the Franco
Russian allies.
It is also stated that the Russian
finances are in good condition, and
better than at any time within ten
years. The opponents of war and of
Austrian alliance are anxious to see
Bismarck in the Reichstag, as they
believe that his influence might pre-
vent Germany from taking any part
in the struggle when it comes. The
war question seems to be mixed up
with the Austro-G German commercial
treaty question, ana Bismarck is un-
derstood to be opposed to both.

SEATTLE, April ls-The Press Times
this evening publishes the following in
terview with Governor Ferry:
Governor Ferry arrived at the Occi-
dental today from Santa Barbara, where,
in addition to the nervous prOstratiOn with
which he was suffering when he left
Washington in December, he has for some
weeks been afflicted with the grippe. lie
is not yet fully recovered and will not re-
turn to Washington for ten days
Your correspondent visited the governor
and asked his opinion Of Lieutenant Gov
ernOr Laughton's yetOeS of the anti-rail-
road legislation, the time check, WaSS IN
rate bill, anti PinkertOn and other farmer
and labor measures.
1T is quite impossible for me-" said the
governor. TO express my opinion of Mr.
LaughtOn's actions during my absence. /
nave seen none Of the bills and none Of
the vetOeS and have read very little about
them. Before my departure | provided
that | shG-ld not be followed by newSpa-
perS or any OF the cares of nv Official posi-
tion, my health fOrbidding."
The news from Washington is" said
your correspondent, that the republican
press and party are SOlidly in favor of an
extra session to reconsider the vetoed
measures, and to adopt provisions neces-
Sary TO secure the reservation of the
lands granted to the state. The Press
Times urges your immediate return and
call for an extra session, both as an act Of
party eXpediency as well as a matter Of
sound public policy"
The land matter" replied the gOy-
ernOr, '1S one Of the greatest importance.
and the sooner il is attended TO the better
choice the state will be able to make.
Some Of the other things may possibly
not need speedy action and can rest till
the nHNf TpunI9P gn-Ei4r INF do,
commit myself to that view, remember.
Il am aware that the press Of the state
IS all but unanimous in condemnation OF
the vetoes, and that the party, therefore,
does not approve of them.
However, as / have said, / have not
the necessary information to enable me to
pass judgment upon Mr.. LaughtOn'S acts.
If any Of the bills which he has disap-
proved are obviously unconstitutional, |
shall certainly indOrse his vetOes.
From all accounts said your cores
pOndent, influences much less respect
able than reverence for the constitution
impelled Mr.. Laughton to write his We
toes"
The governor smiled and remarked, af-
ter thoughtful pause:
so / have heard"
what the PressTimes is most anxious
to know, said the correspondent is this:
III, on your return, YOU find the people
ana the press OF the state substantially
agreed on the necessity for anEeXtra se.-
sion. you will call onc?'
Certainly answered Governor Ferry.
without any hesitation. 1T is my duiy
to obey the will Of the people. aud You
can say cmphaticalIy that If the people
demand the re-enactment of cOnsitu-
tional bills that may have been vetoed,
shall summon the legislature in extra
session"
Governor Ferry, while not rugged by
any means, has a good color and is active
in his movements. Tie shows all the
signs Of returning health.
