Governor Carr Thinks a Speedy Trial

RALEIGH, n. o., Sept. 9.-Governor
Carr has been little vexed lately at
what he deems the unjust criticism of
many northern papers upon his course
in the case of Bob Madkius, colored, who
was lately in danger of being lyrched
for rape. The governor called "a special
session, because. he says, he is oil the
side of law, and asks If the papers do
not like it what they would have done.
The governor proposes remedy for
lynching in the south.
II think we have a remedy now in
having n speedy trial 10 settle the mat

ad visable to confine these rapists in
the penitentiary at once, as soon as
they are arrested, until courl

CONGRESSMAN MYER
Says His State is Drifting Toward
Republicanism.
CAUSED BY TARIFF LEGISLATION
Meeting OF Sugar Planters at New
Orleans Recently.

WAsHINGroN, Sept. s.-Adolph
Myer, congressman from the First
Louisiana district, talked 10 an Asso-
clated Press reporter of the movement
toward the republican party as shown
by the developments at the meeting of
sugar planters in New Orleans. He
said:
at may be that republican delega-
ton will be sent 10 the next congress
from Louisiana, and that republican
presidential electors may be chosen two
years from now. This movement Is
no more than might have been expect
ed. The democratic congress has dealt
a shameful blow to the interests of
Louisiana, after repeatedly promising
to sustain 1t. The party has received
strong and consistent support from the
state for many years, and the first time
it secures complete control of the gov
eminent it proceeds 10 infilct upon us
the hardest blow she was ever given by
legislation.
I'VE have not only been unfairly
dealt with, but we have been deceived.
We were promised back In the presi-.
dental campaign that the sugar INDUS
try should not be crippled by change
In the tariff Then, when the tariff
bill was to be amended in the senate,
there was a definite promise that the
bounty should be continued for this
year. The crops this year were started
on that understanding, investments
having been made on this oasis, yet
the party to which the state has given
It's undivided support did acts that will
drive many of its prosperous business
men TO bankruptcy.
1.-THE republican party, on the other
hand, has enacted legislation under
which the sugar industry has pros
pered. The republicans in this con.
gress have voted for sugar bounty on
all OCCASIONS, and, think. have done
so consistently. So have Louisiana
democrats, for that matter. Now. con.
gress holds further menace over oui
heads in the form of threat to put
sugar on the free list at the next SEES.
sion. No other industry has been
treated in this way"
When asked to state his personal
opinion, he said: 81 would rot advise
our p .eple to 20 into the republ can
party. They would do better to max,
nominations for congress OH the demo.
cratic ticket with the understanding
that their representatives hould ac

FIFTY SHOTS PER HOUR.
Satisfactory Test of the Capacity OF
Dynamite Guns at Sandy Hook.


SANDY Hook, N. j., Sept. 8-The
final capacity test OF the pneumatic
dynamite gun has taken place. The
trial, which was under the supervision
of the ordnance board, comprising
Major Phi2ps Captain Heath and Cap
tain Crozier, was for the purpose of de-
termlning the endurance of the guns
under a continuous fire, and also TO
ascertain the capacity of the air COM
pressors to furnish air for the required
number of shots.
The tests exceeded the contract re-
quirements, as all the previous trials
have done. III the contract it was
stipulated that the three guns should
deliver in the capacity test so shots per
hour for the first hour, 80 for the sec
ond and 30 for the third. In the trial
the guns gave so shots for the first
hour, SO for the second aud 33 for the
third. No projectiles were fired from
the guns, as the tests were merely for
the purpose OF ascertaining now rap
Idly the mechanism of the pieces
could be worked. The result, the ex-
perts say, would have been the same
had loaded shells been expended.
The trials yet to come before final ac-
ceptance are for the inch gun, which
must illustrate the accuracy with which
1t can throw shell laden with 10i
pounds of nitro-glycerire at range o
5000 yards. 1t is not known wher
the test will take place. The board o.
army experts will visit Sandy Hool
every day until perfectly clearlw Gather
admits safe trial of the piece. Wher
the atmosphere.is at all hazy.the officers
are afraid TO make the test with loadec
shells, as it might result in q seriou
casualty to some mist-screened vessel
