Messenger, under the head of Pre-
cautions Against Train Robberies," Mr..
w. ]. Croswell, of this city, district
superintendent Of the Southern Ex-
press Company, informs US that his
company already has its cars well pro-
tected against possible attacks by rob-
bers. In the first place modern and
substantial cars, though not entirely
bullet proof, are used, and the express
agents are prepared at all times to
give intruders q war; reception. The
cars are provided with handy racks
which contain Winchester repeating
shotguns and double barrel shotguns
loaded with buckshot. The racks are
where they can be quickly reached and
a robber would run q big risk in trying
his land in the presence of such weap-
ons. The cars are also provided with
heavy burglar proof safes that will re-
sist dynamite. The cars are not lined
with sheet iron, as Mr.. Harris suggest
ed, but they are Of the most improved.
modern pattern and have strong doors
secured by big iron bolts.

Professor w. F. Massey. of Raleigh.
professor of botany and horticulture in
the college OF agriculture and mechanic
the state agricultural experiment sta
tion, arrived in the city yesterday.
1t will be remembered that the state
for some time has been enforcing rigid
Jose scale. r.he insect which is so detri-
mental to fruit trees. For a month Pro-
fessor Massey has beer travelling over
the state making inspections with, a
view to extirpate the pest wherever
it has appeared and to enforce the
regulations to keep 1t from being
brought here from other states where
it has wrought such devastation in the
nurseries and orchards. He is here on
that business and today will go to
Ivanhoe to make an inspection.
Professor Massey tells us that the
San Jose scale does not exist in this
state to any great extent and is not
near so plentiful as was believed. In
fact, he says there is only one place in
h state (Southern Pines) where the
scale is giving much trouble. He found
one infected tree at Faison.
Under h regulations to stamp out
h pest, no fruit tree are allowed to
be shipped from my nursery in the
state unless the shipment has a certi-
ficate that the tress are free from the
scale, and no trees are allowed to be
shipped into the state unless they bear
a similar certificate. The steps taken
by the state in this mater have been
quite effective, and the efficient and ac-
tive work along this line by those to
whom it has been entrusted is deserving
OF high commentator.

MISS COLES AssAILANr


The T~o Suspected Negroes Taken BeSors
Other Who II Sent to New Hanover
County Jail for Safe Keeping
Especial to The Messenger.)
Rockingham, N. c., October 2s.-
Early this morning the two negroes
brought here by the Maxton Guards
were taken before Miss Cole and her
sisters and they failed to identify fully
either OF them. They were not, how
ever, fully satisfied as to the innocence
of John Reid, alias John Allspaugh. the
because Of some circumstantial evil
dence the authorities deemed 1T emf
nently proper to hold him for further
developments and sent him to the
New anover Jail for safe keeping un-
til further needed.
Being satisfied as to the innocence
of the other negro he was liberated ard
presented with a railroad ticket n a
small sum Of money.
Comparative quiet reigns, and when
thS PSoPiC
the fellow Reid is in the custody OF the
law and that no pains will be spared
to make hin prove his innocence, they
will quietly and willingly await re-
suits.
It was .rumored last night that this
fellow would be forcibly taken from
the Jail and lynched. If such a thing
was contemplated it was prevented
through the influence Of older and
wiser heads. In fact. there has not
been a time since the occurrence Of this
brutal outrage that our citizens would
have allowed any man lynched with
out. satisfactory evidence of his guilt.
The presence of a military company
has never been considered necessary,
and it's here as such was
not agreeable to the majority of the
people. It would rave been a poor pro-
lection to the prisoners. AS clever and
brave as it's members are, it would have
been quite an easy task to have taken
the prisoner had the crowd felt so in
clined. We are a law abiding people,
ana yet we CONCEIVE Lilo uHuCA SoAAS
circumstances ever lynchings may be
justifiable.
Much credit is due our worthy mayor
and his attorney, Cameron Morrison,
Sheriff Smith and his assistants, also
our clever telegraph operator, Mr..
Brewer. Mr.. Thompson and other Sea-
board Air Line officers.

Mrs. Samuel Stamm of Loganton Pa,
bore her thirty-four years of suffering
with courage and fortitude. Her trouble
was rheumatism in the knee. In conse
quence her limb had become so stiff that
she could hardly walk. Mr.. Stamm is q
well-to-do merchant, and had spared no
pain or expense to relieve her, but with
little success, until one night when. it
grew SO painful that she could hardly
endure it, he persuaded her to try Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. The effect was
magical. The first application relieved
the pain, and its continued use has re-
moved all stiffness and given her the free
use of her limb once more. If you have
friends who are troubled with rheuma-
tsm insist on their giving this remedy a
trial. You can do them no greater favor
as it is sure to give prompt relief, and if
they are little patient it will effect q
cure. For sale at 25 and 80 cents pe,.
