Shot DIV a Negro Tramp.

Extra Conductor Luther Robertson
Of the Norfolk and Western railway
was shot and probably MORALLY
wounded about II O'Clock Tuesday
night in the yard at Crewe. He was
attempting to put down a negro from
his train when a revolver was placed
TO his side and two shots fired. One
ball plowed its way through the body
inflicting seventeen distinct perfora-
tons in the intestines. DR.. Anderson,
Of this place, was Immediately sum-
moned, and assisted by DR.. Bryant, Of
Crewe, operated upon the wounded
man. After the wound was dressed
Robertson was as comfortable as could
have been expected. DR.. Anderson
sent Mrs Humphreys down to Crewe
on the afternoon train to nurse Rob
ertsOn.
The Norfolk and Western authorities
are making every effort to arrest the
man who shot the conductor, and if
captured there will probably be
lynchiug. Should Robertson die,
which seems likely, he will leave a wife
and three small children.

Torn Sfamn. Not Good.

The Postofllce Department has un.
der preparation a small book, to be is
sued TO patrons Of the postoflices
throughout the country, which will
contain great amount Of information
regarding the business Of the postofllce
which is not generally known. The
book will be in measure one Of instruc-
ton as to how to transact business
with the pOstoiiice. One Of the things
to be treated will be the use Of the
mutilated stamps or letters. 1t is not
generally known to users Of postage
stamps that a torn OF defaced stamp
cannot be used Persons who have
torn stamps in their possession have
been in the habit Of FASTING the two
pieces together and thus placing it on
Letter. This is prohibited in the pos
tai regulations and the person who
uses such a stamp runs the risk Of not
not having his or her letter delivered.
Sometimes the stamps are so well re-
paired that the tear escapes detection,
but should the rent in the stamp be
found by the postal officials it is Of no
value. The book will also contain in
formation regarding the registry and
money order systems.

Editor Hcrald-It is wrong to deliver
Htbia Uater on Sunday. Many Of cur
customers affirm this. Some refuse TO
accept the Sunday delivery. The tran.
saction is sinful because it necessitates
labor on the SABBATH Day.
We accept the argument, repent the
transgression, and discontinue the Sun
day delivery.
Hereafter you may expect double de-
livery on Saturdays, please be good
enough to return empty bottles for f,M
ones thus cooperating in our endeavor
to do better. Now few words in our
defense:
Two weeks prior to Sunday delivery
we made public mention Of our inten-
ton, using the local columns aud most
conspicuous advertising space Of this
paper. Yet no one undertook to point
out the error Of our way until the act
was accomplished. 1t is easy to con-
denim, but requires some worth and
sacrifice to assist and uplift.
We believe the dlllvery Of lithia
water on Sunday Just as essontiai as
many other necessities accented.
without condemnation, on this day. |
To many persons this water is a medi. |
cine and TO Others il prevents the re-
quirement Of drugs, at least we have
their word for this assertion; again it is |
Just as important to have good wqter 10 |
drink as it is food 10 eat
1t is wrong to deliver lithia water on
Sunday because it requires ,c0rk to do
'o,-granted, now We ask those who
refuse to accept this delivery what dis
position will yOu make Of the services.
IN this day, Of your butcher, your milk
nan, your ice man, your cook, your
hired man, your horse? We have
'nown them to i00rk on Sunday for
our comfort, We trust you will be con.
istent that good may result.

The Dispensary Question.

Those who went 10 Richmond 10 APP
pear before the legislative committee,
both for and against the repeal Of the
dispensary law, returned yesterday.
Ii was with the confident expectation
on the part Of the anti dispensary peo-
pie that the law would be repealed I'M
less the anti.saloon workers would agree
to the proposition made them by Sena-
tor Watkins 10 hold an election. On
the other hand the dispensary advo-
Gates all the while seemed to be more
than confident Of victory without ask
ing for majority vote, and hence
stood pat. 1t was soon evident to the
opponents Of dispensary, after they
had reached Richmond, that there
was little or no chance Of repeating the
act without the cooperation Of both
their Senator and member Of the House,
aud this being refused them the matter
was abandoned and the bill already
offered for repeal Withdrawn
1t appears now the town is certainly
to have the dispensary, although it
was understood yesterday that Dele
gate Owen would offer an amendment
to the dispensary act authorizing the /
town to establish the business only |
after there has been a vote taken.
The town council will elect two /
members Of the dispensary board at its
next meeting, April 18th. The terms
Of Mr. w. T. Clark and DR.. Winston
will have both expired on the 18th
nst. There terms were for one and
.wo years respectively.
The plans Of the saloon keepers haye
lot been made. 1t is probable that
'lr O'Gara and Mr. Mannoni will both
emain in Farmville.
