North Carolina and
NOrfOlk'S Morals

To the Editor: That naive explanation
of the Norfolk Police Commissioners
must have made some of your readers
frown, bus it doubtless made more Of
them smile. Some Northern statistician
had discovered that Norfolk was about
the wickedest place in the country in pro-
portion to its size The police commits
soners explained this fact by stating
had large negro population, and that it
was very near to North Carolina.
Back in early colonial days Virginia
claimed to have been. very liberal of
rogues in our behalf In fact she had SO
many to spare us then that one of her
writer's saw fit to dub us "Rogue's Har-
bor," because so many Virginia made
rogues fled hither. Why should we not
now send some of them home again !?
But to come to facts, there is some
truth in that blunt explanation of the
Norfolk police commissioners, even in
the last clause of it. Norfolk has more
criminals. because she is so near TO
North Carolina, and so accessible to it..
But she has also more of everything else
from the very same reason-more bust
ness more people, more prosperity, more
money. Shut off all that Norfolk gets
from us and all that we get from her.
and she could no more maintain her pres
ent position than could an empty bag.
Take from her North Carolinas lumber
cotton. peanuts, fish and countless other
products. and at the same time our trade
for eli that she has to sell and there
could scarcely be any Norfolk at all
All roads lead to Rome. All North
Carolina railroads lead to Norfolk Car
rying in about everything else that we
produce these roads also carry in many
of our criminals, especially our criminal
negroes.
From this part of the State at least
there is undeniably constant current OF
criminals flowing to Norfolk. There are
many reasons why there should be. The
average criminal especially the average
negro criminal feels as safe when he
crosses a State line as the ancient often
der did when he took sanctuary, Througf

sHERMAN's MARCH.

A Southern Pines correspondent asks;
When Sherman came through this coun-
try where did he start FROM"
Sherman started on his March to the
Sea" from Atlanta and went to Savan-
nah. From there he went to Columbia.
From Columbia to Fayetteville. His army
was practically unopposed. 1t was formed
of four army corps-marching on sepa-
rate roads-covering a breadth Of any
where between twenty and fifty miles,
as the roads ran. On the TANKS of each
corps were foraging parties, who secured
the country. The army moved about eight
miles day.
Two or three of these army corps came
to Fayetteville by conveying roads; one
or two reached the Cape Fear lower down;
none crossed higher up.
The Federal troops that visited South
ern Pines, if any, doubtless came from
Wadesboro, crossing the Pee Dee at
Stainback's Ferry, being the extreme
Western line.
On that flank Wheeler's cavalry opera
ted, like the Federal scouts, in small de-
tachments, running from three to twenty
men, often without any officer They JUS
tilted Shermans remark that War is
hell" They took no prisoners.

lance of the Norfolk or Portsmouth police
could well prevent this influx FOR Pill
grims who are so eager to become denlzens
of the Norfolk regions can easily drop
off the cars a little short Of their destlna-
ton and walk in as leisurely and 'nno-
Gently as they please.
Thus do we. in spite of ourselves, dump
upon Norfolk many of our citizens whom
we would fam have tarry at home, at
least for while. But as this enterpris-
ing city has so creased the channels OF
transportation that most that leaves us
goes thither. she must not be surprised
that criminals, like trade, follow the line
of least resistance.

The. toast to lovely woman" at the
Fourth of July celebration in Boston in
1888 was thus printed in the Post of two
days after:
Woman: When we affect to consider
her inferior to man, let us not forget
that she first discovered the tree of
knowledge and first dared to eat the fSr-
hidden fruit; while Adam had not pluck
enough to pluck an apple, nor capacity
enough to swallow one, for it stuck in his
throat"

A Good One Now.

Joe Pete, the renegade Piute who
some years ago killed Will Dang
berg, in Carson Valley, and who
some ten days ago killed his own
father-in-law and beat squaw al
most to death, was shot and killed
near Markleville, Cal, last Monday
afternoon. Pete's own brother did
the shooting, and the body was
brought to Markleville soon after.
After Pete killed his tather-in-law
the whites and Indians formed
posse and started to hunt for him.
He was located and surrounded and
a decoy message sent to him. His
brother was in the posse, and knew
that if captured alive Pete would
surely be hung. Indians have a
superstition about any of their tribe
being hung, therefore Pete's brother
shot him to death 80 that he would
not fall into the hands of the posse
alive. No action has been taken
against the slayer, and probably
none will be taken, as the people evil
IDENTIFY think good job has been
done and that it is good to let well
enough alone.

Sudden Death at Nordyke.

Word was brought to Yerington
last Saturday night that fruit ped
dler named Daniels had died at Nor
dyke. The Coroner and others went
up to Nordyke and held an inquest
on the remains at once. 1t was
learned that the mans name was
charles Daniels, that he was about
60 years of age and had came from
Granite Hill, Near Placerville, in
California. Mr.. Daniels arrived at
the Wilson mills about o'clock Sat
urday evening and complained OF
feeling i'll. He was assisted to a
cabin and in about fifteen minutes
passed away, probably being at
flicted with heart trouble. The re-
mains were brought to Yerington
Sunday and the burial took place
Monday. Upon the person of de-
ceased 500 in money was found,
which was used to defray funeral
expenses. The load of fruit which
he was bringing here to dispose OF
also belonged to him, but the three
animals and the wagon proved to be
the property of one, d. Aiken, who
arrived here Wednesday,, proved his
property and started for Granite
Hill with the team. 1t is not known
that Mr.. Daniels had any relatives
in this section of the country.

CHARGED With Serious Offease.

Last Sunday night Constable Nc
Medley, of this place, arrested r. w.
Apsey and w. B. Sanders on a
charge of selling whisky to Indians.
According to the statement OF the
Constable the evidence against the
parties is conclusive, as both parties
were caught in the act, and there are
white as well as Piute witnesses to
the affair. On Wednesday Deputy
Marshal J. w. Holbrook arrived
from Carson and took the accused
men to that place Thursday, where
they will have hearing. Constable
McNeeley and Justice Patterson also
went to Carson as witnesses, as did
Johnny Jones and Joe Seton. two
Piute witnesses. The accused are
old residents of this county, and it is
hoped that there may be some m1ti-
eating circumstance yet to explain.

Stockmen to Meet.

A bulletin just issued from the
Denver headquarters says that ex.
tensive arrangements are being
made by the officers of the National
Live Stock Association for the fifth
annual convention, which will con-
vene in the Studebaker theater, Chi.
cago, December sd.
To every branch of the industry
the Importance of the business
which will be considered at this
meeting will be greater than any
ever brought before previous
gathering of live stock men in the
history OF the country. The work
of the association in the past has
demonstrated to the stock breeders
and feeders that more can be &C.
complished in their behalf by a
united national effort than by indi-
viduals or by local or State organi-
cations, and for this reason nearly
every progressive stockman in the
Union il expected to be present and
assist in framing the measures
which will be introduced in the
coming session OF Congress.
All passenger traffic associations
have guaranteed a rate of one fare
plus two dollars for the round trip.

Death of c. S. Battermaa.

Tho sad news reached here last
Tuesday that G. S. Batterman, Cen
eral Manager and part owner of the
Bluestone mine, of this place, had
died in Butte City, Mont, on Monday
afternoon. Mr.. Batterman had been
i'll for some time and had undergone
two Operations for fstula, finally
succumbing to the ailment. Mr.. Bat
terman, at the time of his death, was
General Superintendent of the Bos-
ton < Montana and Butte 4 Boston
mining companies, of Montana, and
was one of the widest known min
ing engineers in the West. Deceased
was a son of G. &. Batterman, at one
time prominent mining man on the
Comstock. He was a native of
Placerville, CAL, and at the time of
his death was aged a. years. In 1880
Mr.. Batterman was one of the sur
veyors who ran the line of the
G. 4 G. road. Shortly after this he
dritted to Montana, and there his
ability was soon recognized and he
was soon placed in positions of
trust, which he filed with credit.
Mr.. Batterman leaves a widow and
two children, we believe, to mourn
his untimely taking off. Out OF
respect to his memory operations at
the Bluestone mine were suspended
for day. He has many friends in
this section who deeply regret his
sad and untimely death.
