Look to TIC Future.

The legal minds In the city council
should devise some means by which the
vexation and\ heavy cost incident to the
opening of streets can be avoided. There
has been caused no end of trouble, to say
nothing of the money it has cost the tax
payers, by the opposition or indifference
of certain aldermen of bygone days to
opening the street between Anderson and
Twelfth streets at a time when the land
in that section was cheap. The result is
that thousands of dollars have been paid
out for streetways where hundreds would
have suficed had the streets been opened
at the opportune time. To-day there are
many irregular streets or no streets at
all where a little foresight and liberality
would have provided good thoroughfares.
The late administration, that of Mayor
Herman Myers, took hold of the street
opening question with vigor, and the peo-
pie are indebted to it for a number of
streets opened through to the southern
limits of the city. The present board has
done little, if anything, in this direction,
so far, but it is to be hoped before it goes
out of Office II will leave some evidence of
Its appreciation of the fact that as in the
other affairs of life, delays in opening
streetS are dangerous.
If 1t is possible to do so, 1t would be we'll
for the city to extend it's limits mile or
be wise east and west, not for the purposes
of taxation, but so as to be able to lay off
the city to that extent, to lay off the
street lines, and TO get options on the
rights of way. In other words, it should
be legally provided that the city shall
have the right to open such streetways as
may be necessary within a certain num-
Der of years, of course by paying for
them, but so that 1t will not be liable for
any damages that may accrue to parties
who may have built in the line of such
proposed thoroughfares.
Now is the time to make provision for
regular streets in the future. Savannah
is growing and viii continue to grow in
extent and population, and it would be
wisdom to look to what will be needed in
the futre for streets and also for parks.
1t is to be regretted that the New York
Herald does not carry its peculiar brand
of impersonal-personal journalism little
bit further, to the extent of signing the
names of its correspondents to the SEN
sational kilograms it prints. For instance,
1t would be very gratifying to the people
of Georgia to know the name of the man
who sent that dispatch. dated "Hogans-
vile, Ga, Sept. TO-" telling of the shoot
ing of the negro postmaster, and which
contained statements to warrant the tele-
graph editor of the Herald in putting over
it a headline reading: pilot to Murder
Negro Officials-White Residents of
Georgia County Condemn Every Colored
Federal Office Holder to Suffer Death
Postmaster Chosen First Victim" etc.
Both the dispatch and the headlines were
infamous, and libel upon the whole peo-
pie of the state, 1t is a pity that the An
aniases cannot be chased out of the news
paper business.

AccoMAC COURT House, Va.
SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1897.
Entered at the PostofIlce at Accomac
O. H.. Vs., as second-class matter.

The next Governor of Virginia will
be either Taylor Ellyson or Hoge
Tyler and it is matter about which
the democratic voters of the State
agree so well that no one else is
prominently mentioned for the posi-
ton. Both are so acceptable to the
great bulk of the democratic voters,
that it is immaterial with the most of
them which gets the nomination. No
one has the right to question the
democracy Of either, or to doubt that
the platform adopted at Chicago and
which will be re affirmed ut The demo
cratic convention which meets in
Roanoke, in August, will be accept
able to both of them. No one can
say of either that he has been untrue
to his party or that either could not
be trusted as the executive OF this
Commonwealth. Both have declared
for the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to l and in that respect too
both are in close touch with the great
body of the people of Virginia. In
the selection of either, therefore, Vir-
ginia is sure OF worthy and efficient
executive, and it is to be hoped that
the choice will be made between
them in that spirit of generous rival
ry, which will prevent the friends OF
one from saying anything TO dispar
age unjustly the claims of the other.
We believe that Mr. Ellyson should
be the nominee OF the party for
Governor, but if the convention de-
clares for Mr.. Tyler we can give him
no less loyal support.

The railroad officials. it is stated,
will take no part in the coming po.
litical campaign in Virginia, and il
is to be hoped that they will con
scientiously adhere to that determi-
nation. AS individuals, they have
the right to vote and work tor can
didates of their choice as other citi-
zens of the State, but the railroads
as political machine, which it is
admitted to have been in the State
campaign in 1898 when General Fitz
Lee was defeated for the Senatorship,
naturally excited the Indignation OF
the people at that time, and will al
ways call forth their protests and
opposition to the railroads which
they cannot afford to invite.

Lynching at Midday.

Princess Anne, Nd, June 9.-Wil-
liam Andrews, the young negro &C
cused of felonious assault upon Mrs.
Benjamin I. Kelley, was taken from
the sheriff here to-day and beaten
into insensibility, then hanged to a
tree by an infuriated mob, i'm
mediately after having been ar
raigned in court and sentenced to
death for his crime.
Andrews, who was but 20 years old,
came here from North Carolina, and
on May 9TH, of this year, was arrested
for assault upon Mrs. Kelley. At
that time mob endeavored to lynch
him, but he was hurriedly taken to
Baltimore and confined in the Jail III
that city until last night, when he
was brought here for trial. During
the night number of men assembled
and carefully planned to-day's pro-
gramme.
Shortly before noon Andrews was
taken from the jail TO the Court
house and arraigned before Judge
Page to plead. He was thoroughly
frightened, and in a trembling voice
pleaded guilty. Judge Page then
sentenced him to be hanged, and
Sheriff Nelson then, with Deputy
Sheriff Dryden, started to remove
the prisoner to the Jail. Just as they
reached the outer door some one
shouted Come on boys, let's take
the d-n nigger,n and rush was
made for the sheriff and his deputy.
Blow after blow with clubs, blud-
geons and pistol butts were rained
upon the head of the prisoner, in
spite of the efforts of the officers 10
shield him.
Judge Page ran out of the court
room and implored the crowd to let
Justice take its course, but he might
us we'll have talked to the wind. The
sheriff and his deputy were soon
overpowered and then the maddened
crowd bounced upon the negro, threw
him to the ground and kicked him
into complete insensibility. Mean
while q rope had been procured, and
picking up the inanimate figure from
the ground, the Infatuated mob placed
the rope around the neck of the dy-
ing man, and dragging the body to a
tree within s. hundred yards of the
courthouse door, threw the rope over
limb and swung the body into the
air. Then s. dozen bullets were fired
into andrews and he was left dang
ling until the coroner ordered the
BODY cut down. No attempt at dis
guise was made by any who partic-
ipated in the lynching.
