JUDGE sIMoNroN TO THE RESCUE


We mentioned some time ago i'm these
columns that the people of stanly county.
y. c.. were attempting to repudiate cer-
tain bonds which the county had voted
TO aid i'm the construction of the Yadkin
railroad, on the ground that the act au-
thorizIng the vtte to be taken was read
in one branch Of the Legislature twice ON
the same day, instead of being read on
two consecutive days as required by tho
constitution. 1t wes not disputed that the
railroad was built and that the people got
what they paid for but payment was
resisted on this uining technicalty. The
matter came before Judge Simonton of
the United States Circuit Court and he
has recently decided that the bonds are
legal and has issued a temporary and
continuing injunction in restraint of the
would-be repudiators
OF course. there will be another outcry
among the Populists Of North Carolina
against government by injunction" and
judge Simonton will come in for another
storm Of abuse ana viii zoe denounced as

less. his decision SIS IN the interest of good
morals and public credit. ass well as in

KEEP An EYE ON NASHVILLE.

We find the following in the editorial

Interest IN bringing the Battle Abbey
to Nashville must not DE allowed 20 lag.
The action taken at Atlanta was clearly

supported either by the veterans or by
Mr. ROuss when the facts are brought
% his attention. There is also n feeling
throughout tho South that Richmond is
not sufficiently central ass a location for
the Abbey. and there is also feeling
widely disseminated among Confederate
soldiers that Richmond has had her share
~ Confederate nOnors. Nashville is the
best situated city in the South for the
Battle Abbey. and there is scarcely any
question bur that she can secure it IL
the proper organization BIS effected among
the various bodies in Che city municipal,

II is our understanding That other 02u.n-
ern cities appreciate Tennessee. claims

fitness for &c. will eventually champion
Nashvlllc's cause. But We must hr-t

This is a bit startling We had observed
that the Nashville press "as not dis
posed 10 accept gracefully the decision of

we're not prepared 90 believe. This whole
question had been thoroughly discus ed.
and when the matter came up in At

ton 10 Richmond had practically dis'p-
peared.
The claim that the decision was i.le-
gal and that the people throughout tbe
South are opposed to Richmond as o.
location are too absurd TO bo treated
seriously. However. b. is apparent from
the above that Nashville is in for o.
fight and we print what the American
has to say that the people of Richmond
may not be taken unawares.

and little harbors and bays break away be-
tween them from the sea, each margined
with narrow strips of sand-what shells
must be strewn upon those little inlets!-
bush. dense and deep, creeps with jealous
accuracy of outline.
When the setting caught the coasts
the rugged hills looked like crumpled vel
vet, the bush close-piled plush. Groups
of white houses struggled down through
the green foliage to the waters edge, very
sad in their forlornness, roofess, some Of
them desolate all. Here is a great iron
pier, ten trucks in row, all standing on
it, rusty and red, waiting for the creak of

Bafquiri Harbor.
And the day is not far distant, for this
is Baiquiri-this queer little harbor with
its sad hamlet. its idle iron pier. upon
which tomorrow the Ell. ctrifying hand Of
war will be laid-tomor rowland Baiquiri
knows nothing of the awful change that is
coming; the old hills know nothing. and
the unruffied harbor knows nothing, and
all are dreaming together as if the past was
to be the future. And yet 1 know that to-
morrow before the sun sets the leviathans
that saw lying spangled with signal lights
upon the sea last night will be clustered
round this little port; that the rattle of
small arms will shake all the folk in fuss
and feathers that live in that slumbering
bush: that the walls of the machine gun
will send the terms that now float asleep
upon the tranquil waters of the bay out
screaming in alarm to the sea, and the
angry voices of the field guns awaken the
long-distant echoes of the majestic lakes.
What dawn is that of tomorrow. What
day 1t is that is about to break. The life
