A Great Murderer
Boasts OF Having
Murdered 20 Persons
Cuaght With
BIOOdhOunds.

Advices from Richmond Va. sta
to that on Friday the 23nd ult. all
day long an infuriated mob sur
rounded the little jail at Emporis,
Va, clamoring for the blood of Wal
ter Cotton, a negro, who killed three
white men, two of them officers of
the law of Greens lille county, and
the third well known citizen of
Portsmouth.
CottOn's second crime was COM
mitted early yesterday morning,
when the officers attempted to arrest
him in a little but not far from
Emporia.
AS the officer entered the door
Cotton opened fire. One fell With a
bullet through his brain and the
other staggered from the hut, dying
soon afteraCard.
The negro escaped, but soon a
posse with bloodhounds was on his
trail. Early this morning he was
captured and taken to Emporia.
AS the officers took him through the
streets the crwd grew denser, and it
was with great difficulty tnat he was
taken to the Jail,
Tae murderer would have been
lynched within FIVE minutes after
his arrival in Elnporia had the mob
had a leader. Seriously alarmed at
the situation, Judge w. Samuel
Goodwin, of the County Court, sta
toned twenty-five deputies around
the Jail and at once sent telegram
to Governor Tayler, at Richmond,
begging him to at once send troops
to prevent the fair name of Green's
vile county from being stained by a
lynching.
Cotton is notorious desperate.
He escaped from Jail in Portsmouth,
Va, where he was under sentence to
be hanged in a few days for murder.
Cotton and a white man broke into
the residence Of Il. a. PEBBLE, in
EmPoria, on Wednesday. Justice
j. w. Saunders and CONSTABLE Jo-
seph Welton went to a negro cabin
to find out who two suspicious cha.
racters were, aud as they entered
the door Cotton aud the other man
at once opeacd fire on them.
Saunders and Welton Were killed
and the two desr sreradOes were uoun-
ded. BlOodhounds were used to try
to catch the criminals, but tailed.

The goal toward which every Tex
an should work is the ultimate estab-
lishment in the state of enough indus
trial schools so that every boy and
every girl desiring to learn how to use
his hands might gel the necessary in
struction from the lowest to the high
est. free of charge. In every town
there should be a complete course OF
manual training in connection with
the public schools. and the course
should be such that pupils might go
form these directly into the technical
schools and fit themselves To hold po-
sitions requiring skill and technical
knowledge. Such a system would do
more TO build up Texas and develop
her resources than any other that
could be adopted.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL TICKET
THE Root OF EVIL

No one who reads the newspapers
can have failed To notice the apparent
increased crimes. especially holdups,
attempts at murder, and burglaries
during the last few months. 1t is not
necessary here to specify particular
transgressions against Tie laws, Tor
the people are familiar with the facts.
The pertinent inquiry is as to remedies.
AS nearly as one not fully CONVEX
SAINT with police practice can locate
the immediate difficulty. it is that the
men are not scattered enough, that
1ney do not cover many parts of the
city at all. or so infrequently that
they might as well stay away, that
there are not enough men to patrol
the city as it should be done. and final
". that practically no attempt is made
to enforce the laws against carrying
concealed weapons and against unlaw-
full assembly. Added to- these things
there is the very important one that
the city is so poorly lighted that it is
easy for a crime 10 be committed any
where of the two or three main streets
at any time of night.
The days are comparatively free
from outrage and crime. But when
the dark comes, it appears that the
powers of evil get the upper hand
and keep it, Ii is no excuse to say
that most of the victims of the crimes
are where they should not be. or are
members of the criminal classes. Even
If this were true. it is the business oil
the city to see that the city itself is
protected from the stigma that attaches
to the name of any place where the
nights are one long revel of crime
and debauchery.
Without going into the question of
the organization of the police force in
detail. IL is enough to say. and insist
that the increase of crime is due pri-
marily to the laXiIy in enforcing the
laws and ordinances. not only on the
part of the police force. but the sheriff
and his deputies as well. Almost any
citizen can point out men who habit
ually carry guns, and any officer
knows many who should be disarmed
and severely punished. Yet it appears
