THE TROOPS AT PocAHoNTAs.

aE lhOOI > n IOSh11O4N 40.
The offense in the eyes OF the critics
which Governor O'Ferrall has commit
ted in the Pocahontas affair is that be
sent troops to the scene of the trouble
before formal demand had been made
upon him by the county authorities.
The Governor has said publicly that
he was responsible for the presence OF
the troops there, and he is, but there
are some facts in connection with the
matter which have never been made
lublic and which it is necessary 10
know iu order to have an intelligent
understanding of the situation.
When the trouble in the Pocahontas
section was first reported, the Governor
wired the sheriff of Tazewell county to
advise him of the situation. The sher-
iff replied that the situation was critical
and advised the Governor to hold one
company of soldiers in readiness. The
Governor then wired him again for
further information and this time the
sheriff sent two kilograms, one follow
ing the other, in which he said that
mass meeting of strikers from West
Virginia was to be held at Pocahontas
on Sunday, and that he was fearful OF
trouble. "If violence should be at
tempted" he corcluded, my force
would be wholly inadequate Answer"
With this aud other information be-
fore him, the Governor ordered the
military to Graham, several miles
away from Pocahontas, so that
they might be within easy reach
for any emergency. He sent
more than one company, for the rea-
son, as has been stated time and again,
that he feared that small force would
incite rather than allay trouble, his
whole purpose being to prevent any
breach of the peace.
So much for the presence of the
troops at Graham. General Phillips
then ordered Major Simons, the Major
commanding, to report to the sheriff OF
Tazewell and to be subject to his orders,
and General Phillips authorizes the
statement that the troops were moved
from Graham to Pocahontas by order
of the sheriff.
These are the simple facts. 1t is true
that Governor O'Ferral has publicly
stated that he and not the sheriff is re-
sponsible for the sending of troops to
Pocahontas and it is true that as the
chief executive of the State and COM
mander of the State militia he is re.
sponsib!e. But some people have tried
to make the impression that, without
any sort of suggestion from the Taze-
we'll authorities, the Governor orrn.
gantly and defantly put the town of
Pocahontas under military rule. 1t is
very plain, however, from the forego-
ing that the sheriff of Tazewell not only
gave the Governor reason to believe
that rioting was threatened, but ad-
vised him 10 hold the troops in readi-
ness and afterwards on his own author
ity moved the troops from Graham to
Pocahontas. as.-Richmond State.

TO SECURE SOUND SLEEP.

A London letter to the New York
Adurtiser says: A remarkable ex-
pertinent has just been made in Lon
don. A man has been put to sleep for
six days and six nights, and member
of our staff, who suffers severely from
insomnia, has just made 1t his business
to find out how it is done.
He found Mr.. Charles Morritt, ",he
sleep DOCTOR" ready with the informe-
ton. 1T is ali done with the eyes" J"
he exclaimed, 'It is all done by gazii 6
steadily and fiXedly at your subject, TO-
gether with few passes over the eyes,
and then can soon tell if the person
operated upon is unconscious and has
gone Off"
'iHo,v long does it take?" he asked,
with view to get good nights sleep
at last.
"Oh!" exclaimed Mr.. Morritt, ''some
people go off in two minutes. others
take from five to ten"
We remembered the hours we had
spent in trying to get to sleep, and how
satisfied we would be with the ten min.
utes' effort.
"You must have good heart" con-
tipued the sleep doctor, "a sound con-
stitution, and must not be an excessive
driuker. The experiment is really
dangerous to a man who drinks to ex-
cess. l have been operating in this
wav for the last few years, start
ing by getting my subjects under
control for six or seven honrs,
and then succeeding with man
for day; and now / am SO confident
of success that my next experiment
will be with lady and gentleman
the lady I shall put to sleep for six
days and nights, and the gentleman for
ten days and nights.
'Let me tell you that this experi-
ment which | make is simply hypno-
tism. The subject is really hypnotized,
and is perfectly iDsensible to pain.
This is the first time that such an ex.
pertinent has ever been made, and l.
believe that fit subjects who are thus
operated upon will wake up i'll better
condition then when they went off.
When the man you have just seen who
is now sleeping for LA hours, is awak-
ened, he will only feel little dazed at
first, and will be able to get on with his
usual occupation, which is that of a
glass stainer, and partake of his usual
meals at once in the ordinary way"
