special Council Meeting

The town council held called meet
ing Tuesday afternoon to hear com
plant against Police Officer Orange lo
selling whiskey in one Of the town
saloons. As an officer of the town Mr.
Oranges employment in saloon has
for some time been adversely criticized
10y number of citizens. The matter
having been several times brought to
the MAYORS attention he decided that
the council should be given opportunity
to determine the propriety of Mr..
Orange continuing i'm the saloon.
There was just quorum present at
the special meeting They were
Messrs. w. p. Gillian, w. +. David
son, IL. f. Wall, j. b. Farrar and DR..
Anderson.
Mayor Blanton stated that there was
no law nor regulations laid down gov
erning the police Of the town and he
greatly desired that the council should
define in definite manner their duties.
Mr. Gillian said he thought an in
Justice was being done Mr.. Orange.
The council knew that he (Orange) was
selling whiskey at the time they elected
him to Office for they were particularly
informed on that point, and with that
knowledge before them he was elected
by an overwhelming majority-he
(Gilliam) being in a most hopeless
minority in opposition. Considering
this together with the fact that no rule
has ever been made governing a police
mans ofrduty time, Mr. Gillian
thought Mr. Orange had a. much right |
to sell whiskey as did Mr. Beal to work |
at his carpenters trade
Mr. Orange was the next one heard.
He said he did not make a practice of
selling whiskey, and with two ex-
ceptions he had not been engaged in it
in the day time and never when on
duty as policeman. He thought he
had a much right to sell whiskey as
Mr.. Beal, his brother officer, has to
engage in work outside his official
capacity. He did not, however, believe
either he or Mr. Beal was doing wrong
when engaged in outside work
when of duty. Mr. Orange told the
council that he had not violated any
rule or law and if they saw fit to put
him down for what he had done they
might do So
Mr.. Wall was the only other coun-
'ilman who had anything to say He
lid not approve Of any salaried officer
If the town engaging in the whiskey
business. He thought the officer ac-
'epting the position should give his
,ntire time to the town.
DR.. Anderson moved that the mayor
md the ordinance committee draft
set of rules regulating the police {
'flicers' duties and report the same to
mother meeting of the council.
I'm the meantime Mr. Orange may
ontinue to sell whiskey, if he wishes
o, until further action is taken 10y the

Reorganize the Military,

There remains but little time now
for the reorganization of the FarmviIle
Guard if such thing is contemplated.
No one who seriously looks at the con-
ditions by which we of the Southside
are surrounded can help but recognize
the salutary effect Of the home military,
and the duty Of every young man of
good health, and good character is
plain-he should enter into such an
organization and help support and
maintain il.
Under an order from the Adjutant
General issued May 4th, it requires not
less than 80 nor more than - enlisted
men to organize, and we haven't a
doubt that if the proper effort is made
the minimum number, at least, could be
obtained here. The Governor has
determined not to have but twelve
companies in the State, and the first
twelve offering will be accepted to the
exclusion Of all others In its advocacy
of the reorganization Of the Home
Guard Of Charlottesville, the Progress
Of that place, expresses our exact wishes
regarding the reorganization Of the
Farmville Guard The Progress says:
ain this connection it would be well
to state that we want company which
is primarily a home institutions; safe
guard to our property and precaution
against unforeseen contingencies that
may arise. We do not want COM
pany that is in any way under obliga-
ton To respond to any and every call
that may be made for troops 10y reason
of the recently developed policy Of our
Government; nor do we desire that
membership in the company should be
considered as prohibition TO any
member who may desire TO enter the
service of the United States should a
call for troops he made. But we do
want il distinctly understood that a
member of the company is under no
more obligations TO volunteer his
services To- the government than is any
private citizen of our community"

Let us come down to even more
modern matter. Less than year age
there was fierce outbreak Of racial
feeling in the South. White men were
organized i'm a certain amateur uniform
and armed with shot guns; not because
the colored Americans had any partic-
ular designs upon the hearths or homes
Of their white fellow men or because
hey were trying to drive the whites
oil any particular spot Of ground. In
brief the trouble was this that one
hundred and twenty years and more
after the Declaration of Independence
the descendants Of those who fought
for independence were willing to take
up arms, TO prove even by the death of
their colored brethren that there Is
neither political equality nor freedom
for all, in this great country Of ours.
