ANIG.

(By Telegraph to Virginian-Pilot.)
Raleigh, N. c., Nov. 1S.-Thcrc was
last night desperate fight at the home
of white man named Johnson, who
lives In this county, some fifteen miles
from here. Seven men were engaged in
It, and four of them were seriously
wounded, two of them perhaps fatally.
The trouble originated in :; fight be-
tween two young men, John Butter and
Henry Johnson. Friday afternoon. Both
were drinking and when separated

over that night and whip the whole
Johnson family. At II O'clock last
night. true TO his promise, he went to
the Johnson home, accompanied by
three confcderatcs. Sat Lowry, Jep
Warren and Henry Bridgcrs
Johnson'S father refused to admit
them into the house, whercupon they
broke the door down and forced an en-
trance. Johnson's eldest son seized n
pistol and fired, wounding Lowry in the
arm. Lowry then attacked She boy. AS
he did so the father seized en- axe and
?struck Lowry three times with it, cut
ting him on both arms and wounding
him in the chest. Lowry sank to the
floor crying for mercy. The father then
turned upon Warren, who had thrown
the second son to the floor and was
beating him numerically. Warren re-
ceived two blows in the hack with the
axe. The low pitch of the room saved
Warren's life. The father In his ex.
element raised his axe so high that it
buried itself in the ceiling, and thus
weakened the descending blow.
Butler and Bridgers now fled, but
later returned and carried Lowry and
Warren to Il neighbours house. Both are
seriously wounded. Bridgcrs is under

Beers Have Sympathy.

The sympathy of free America is with
the Beers at present. England failed to
subdue them in 1852, and gave up the
attempt because the Dutch in all South
Africa We're getting their dander up and
threatening to help their brethren. The
Beers went into the wilderness again to
be away from the English, against
whom they had risen several times.
England acknowledged their independ-
ence, and for twenty-five years the re-
public had peace. The discovery of gold
caused an influx. The Beers never
sought English immigration, but gold
was the magnet that drew them. Their
dislike of the Boer laws, and confidence
In their WI strength, Is leading them
to demand war in their interest to over
throw the government of the country
where they are intruders. If California
were a republic unto herself, and Chi
nese immigrants had acquired all the
gold mines and captured San Francisco,
they could as justly appeal to China to

people were allowed to fix the sugar
tariff clause of the Wilson-G German bill

many of them for a long period, and
more are born daily, only they are not

"Why do you weep?" they asked.

In this case, for instance, there were

San Francisco has a club composed of
divorced men who are pledged to do
what they can to prevent other men
marrying. The women need not worry
about the club. No man who wishes to
be married and finds the partner who
suits him, or whom he believes suits
him, which is the same thing for the
time being, will ever delay because of
the advice of matrimonial wrecks. And
the chances are that the club will have
to rustic hard to keep up it's member
ship, as the old members drop back into
matrimonial harness to try again.

In these days of mining activity there
is an increasing demand for young men
who have received a technical training
such as mining engineers, civil engin-
GERS and chemists. Fortunately, New
Mexico, which is blessed with so vast
an amount of mineral wealth, has es-
tablished a technical college at Socor-
70 to educate along these lines. BY the
advertisement Of the school in this issue
of the paper it will be seen that the
next term will begin September II, 1899.
Undoubtedly, there will be many New
Mexico youths who will take advantage
of the training off red by the school of
mines, and will err, T.. as students.

some of them have proved to be sneaks

FIELD FOR WOMAN'S WORK.

Silver City ought to have a public Ii
brary and reading room. The best nan
ner in which to accomplish these sever
al public improvements would be for
the ladies to take a hand and organize
a society similar to those which have
accomplished so much good in Las
Cruces and Santa Fe. There is much
work to be done, and the ladies are just
the ones to do it. For instance, we
should have a park. The ladies in Las
Cruces have equipped a handsome park
solely by their own efforts, and there is
no reaso why such an improvement
should not be had in Silver CITY.

Of the agricultural, %irrigable portions of
the Navajo reserve, has attracted d
good deal of favorable comment at
home and abroad. Humanity and civil
lization call for the utilization of all
natural our such as the Navajo
reserve contains, and the competition
and struggle for existence, growing
keener with the years, brings such neg
lected resources more prominently into

referred to will gradually come to be re-
garded as essential in it's relation to the
complete development of this county
