HE MURDERED JOHNSON

The more the murder OF THOMAS
JOHNSON At Wytheville, Va, January
BIRD ia investigated, the more heinous
appears the crime
THoMAS L. MoXRRs, the murderer
has added another to his list OF crimes
and stalks forth boldly with his hands
bathed in human blood. He ushercd
this young man unto his Msker with
out q moments werning.
He left . mourning widow without
the means Of support. Was the aileg-
ed ofense worth the trouble he
caused ?
Away out on the hillside his victim
will sleep until the sounding OF the
last trump.
Poor THOMAS JoHNsoNi But why do
communities authorize such br1tes to
exercise such sway ? Why do they
permit blood thirsty. cowardly william :
to be clothed with the authority ofthe
law
Why do they pass by white men.
known for their peaceful proclivities,
and their upright conduct and appoint
thugs to positions OF this kind
And they have baiIed MOPERs, the
murderer in the sum OF five thousand
dollars
This then is the value placed upon
young JoHEsoE's life.
BUTT won't be- always thus; We wont
forever have to DO the ''uDdsrdog'' In
the fight, aud subjected to all kinds Of
punishments for trivial offences and
our prosecutors visited with no punish
ment for OutrAgss perpetrated upon
us.
They are preparing to acquit Nor,
RHs. They are getting ready to arm
him again for bloody work.
Take care, lest his next victim be Z
man Of his own race.
But MoYeRs must sooner orlAtsr an
swer for his crime. Awaking or sleep
ing he will bs haunted by fear OF the
future.
The slim, shadowing form Of JOHE,
SON will be ever present before him
As he walks from one end Of thai
mountain city to the other, the memo
ry Of the last look upon the face Of the
man he murdered will cause him to
pray for death.
He took that which he could NOT
give. He Shutdown = man, whom he
knew TO be unarmed. He was q cow
ard, despised Of all men. He fred up
on a retreating form. he dared not
face his foe in open combat,
But the end will yet come 70 him.

LAUNDERING OITY FATHERS.

The action of the Manchester, Va,
City Council in refusing to permit the
CHEsAPRAKE AND OHIO RAILoAD CON-
PARY to lower the free bridge over the
James River, unless it agreed to build
an entirely new structure, which
would cost at least ($1O0, Ooo) one hun
dred thousand dollars and possibly
more was blunder so stupid that we
have time and again wondered VINO was
directly responsible for it.
Here is a corporation which can
side-track Richmond at it's pleasure
and make q terminus at some other
point, If it so desires, offering to place
from one to two million dollars worth
OF improvements in this city, and q
portion of this amount of money
placed here must necessarily pass into
Manchester which is virtually part
of this city; and yet city legislators so
far forget themselves a. not only to
embarrass the company but to endan-
ger the project itself.
If bridges are built, the surface lev
eled, buildings erected. the labor of
Manchester must necessarily be called
into service and every merchant, me-
chanic, workman would feel the exhil-
arating effect of such industrial activ-
ity in our midst.
1t is plainly evident too that work il
what is needed labor is suffering. and
the children of the lAboring classe.
are crying for bread.
The action of this body then s&vorl
of criminality, even if it does nothing
more nor less than delay the com
mencement of these improvements
many months. What must be said o
their course then should it result il
the killing of the project?
Right on the heels of this insane
policy comes the announcement tina
some "wise-acres" are endeavoring K
find an excuse for bringing forward I
bill for back taxes against this sam,
company, aggregating some two-hun
dred and seventy-five thousand dollars
This is done too in the face of tn,
proposition to expend nearly two mill
ion dollars in improvements in this 10
calitY. Common-sense should hav'
dictated that even if the claim were
valid one, it should be laid over for
period of time,-say, five years, unit
the new buildings were well undei
way or completed.
But as it lie, these agitstions scar
away capital and paralyze industry
1t is the laboring classes who primari
ly feel the effect of it, and it reacts
upon the real-estate men, the insur
ance men, the groceries, the dry-good
dealers, the shoe-dealers, and lastl,
upon the banks themselves.
Our people have at times been ratet
a. "simpletons," but we challenge
comparison with any act of their
which will surpass in stupidity and fol
" the ones noted.
