Yes; but it Will be easy for an an
archist who has not publicly avowed
his creed simply to remain silent and
to come in. CZOlgOsz would have

A WORD FOB SAMPSON.

While we think that Schley was
the real hero of the battle of Sarti
ago and entitled so the larger part
of the glory or that battle, we do
not think is necessary TO slander
Admiral Sampson, or adopt in any
degree the tactics Of Schley's de
famers who now "eat of the fruit of
their own way and are filed with
their own devices" These imbecile
friends of Sampson have dOna him
infinite harm, so that he is likely to
b. "a ed at as mu' b below his true
worth as it seemed for a time that
Sohley would be. Slightly cOnceited
perhaps and with spirit and temper
impaired by i'll health, Sampson was,
nevertheless, we think, an officer of
more than average bravery and eff
cheney; and to speak of him as "a
bag of wind who worshipped him
self, interested only in the glory
and the prize money" is grossly un-
just
We think Sampson has made many
mistakes, but not so many as some
overly Jealous Sohley admirers
would have US believe. At any rate,
we never kick a man when he is
down Schley has been vindioated,

of Simpsons friends has blinded

LYNCHINGs AND ANARCHY.

During the past three or four
months nearly every important pa
per in the country has had some
ting to say about lynching. While
by far the larger part of the
press of all sections is op-
posed to this form of lawleasness,
some editors have accom- plished the
remarkable feat of riding horses
going in opposite direotions-in one
breath both denOuncing anarchy and
uphOlding lynohing, forgetting that
they are twin evils, differing not
In kind but only in degree. The
anarchist wishes to abolish all law
willie the advocate of lynohing would
nullifY all laws that do not suit his
feelings and passions. The two
evils mast be eradicated, and law
everywhere recognized as rightfully
supreme before our civilization will
rest upon an enduring basis.
In this connection it is bumiliating
80 record that in North Carolina in
the past eleven years, there have
been so per cent more lynohings
than legal executions-18 Of the
former TO II of the latter But we
believe shat there is an awake ming
of public opinion in this matter. Ger
tainly, the number of newspaper ad,
vocates of lynch law is smaller than
ever before.

rHE ROANOKE ISLAND CELEBRATION

On Roanoke Island, near the old
'Fort Raleigh" built by the settlers
sent over by Sir Walter Raleigh, more

great celebration is to be held next
summer. 1t is to commem crate the
beginning of English colonization IN
America, and to honor the memory

nings and made greater sacrifices
than did any other man in promo
ting it.
The movement looking to this cell
ebration began at the meeting of the
State Literary and Historical Asso-

we'll under way. It's friends expect
to make the celebration an affair OF
national significance, and will Geek
the cooperation of some of the best
known Englishmen, as we'll as Amer

system. This being true, his ac,

should not be restored, is entitled to
greater weight. In this matter we

THE CIRCUIT BILL

The fight against the Oleomargar-

in Congress this winter, and it is
more than probable that the Grout
bill will become a law within few
months. Every influential agricul
tural organization, 20 tar as we
know, except the National Live
Stock Association, has declared
against oleo. We notice that the
National Grange in session last
month urged that Congress impose on
it a tax of ten cents per pound.
We have so often discussed the
merits of the GrOut bill that it
should be unnece 'sary to say much
on the subject at this time. 1t is to
be hoped that our North Carolina
Congressman, especially in view of
the many advantages offered by our
State for the development of the
dairy industry, will make better
record in this matter than was made
in the vote last session.

INTERFERING WITH FREEDOM OF

And now an electrician in the

Stoll, has been sentenced to ten
years imprisonment for abuse of the
late President Mckinley. We honor
the late President for his many
virtures, but we do not approve of
this tyrannical interference with
freedom of speech. Assassination does
not make demi god of a man, and
unless Stoll' 8 language tended to en-
courage assassin alton or other crime,
he should have been punished, not
by imprisonment, but by the loss of
the respect of his fellows to the ex
