In the terrible fight with Robert
Charles, the negro fiend, in New Or
leans last week, twelve men were
killed, including five policemen, and
twenty-seven wounded. Of this num-
Der, Charles killed seven himself.
Armed with Winchester, and pro-
tected by his hiding place, he did
deadly work. The New Orleans
papers are much to blame for the
death of several policemen the day
that Char les was killed, for in their
account Of the fight with Charles the
reporters called the policemen cow
ards for getting out of the way of
the negro's bullets. No man ought
to walk into death-trap, when it is
useless. 1t is not expected of even
an officer. These reporters would
have run too, and very likely much
faster than the officers. What did it
avail the brave men who sacrificed
their lives to walk into certain death
To face a desperate man, armed
with Winchester, and shooting from
ambush? On the. field Of battle it is
different. But in doing his duty as
an officer of the law, citizen is not
required to lay aside his Judgment
and all consideration for his personal
safety, for fear OF being called al
The brave officers who fell
should never be forgotten. by the
people of New Orleans and the re-
porters who stigmatized as towards
those policemen who sought shelter
from Roberts bullets should be
censured. /

every merchant was refunded his |
money and the neat sum. of about |
$4,000 renamed, after all purses
and other expenses had been paid.
The Banner Democrat did its share
in pulling off the event. So much
for printers ink.
We wish to mention especially
the orderly manner in which the
colored people behaved during the
entire day. There was no trouble
whatever, either in town or on the
grounds. and everything went off in
quiet and orderly manner. The
day was gotten up for the benefit of
the colored people as well as the
white people, and they will always
receive fair treatment at the fair
grounds and blythe people of Provi-
dence. So we advise them to pre-
pare for the big occasion in the fall
and join the white people in these
friendly gatherings.
We take occasion to reprove, in
friendly manner, those merchants
who refused to close their stores, as
did the other merchants, and allow
their clerks to take in the day. We
understand that all the merchants
had agreed to close their doors at
the tapping of the bell. Those who
did not, acted wrongly and with lit
tie Judgment. Financially, what
did they gain?
There were in the neighborhood
of twenty-five hundred people on
the grounds. As the crowd passed
out in the evening, Mr.. Clark Hall
stood at the gate with cotton seed
counter and counted twenty-five
hundred aud twenty-five people.
Several hundred or more had gone
out before he started, so we are safe
in estimating the attendance at
twenty-five hundred, one of the
largest crowds ever assembled in
Lake Providence. This shows what
energy will do; what united work
will do. Despite rainy weather
and gloomy outlook, the man.
ayers never let up, and the result
was big day, everything passing
off according to Hoyle, and the peo-
Pile being highly pleased. The gate
receipts were s332.35.
So ended August lst. We hope
that our mercants will encourage
these events, for it brings vast
amount of trade to the town and
gives it good name. Let us all
ways work together to one common
end, and the fair grounds will prove
source, not only of pleasure, but of
profit, to the people of Lake Provi-
dence and the parish of East Car
roll.
