A Great Work.
kinston Free Press.

kInStOn Free Press.
The a. & NJ. College at Raleigh is
doing a great work and bids fair to
be OF still greater service in the future.
Governor Aycock presented diplomas
to thirty-six graduates Of that insti-
tuition; one in agriculture, twenty
eight in engineering and seven in
science.
The rise of the institution in prOmi-
hence and popularity means much
for the future of North Carolina. The
primary object of the school is to
teach young men how to do some
thing, and that is just what young
mel need to be taught.
Most of the development now going
on in North Carolina is carried on by
means OF home capital. Our people
are investing their savings in pro-
ductive enterprises. and the conse-
quence is the State is forging ahead
But we must have our "captains of
industry,' and ii they can be made
here at home at small expense. why
all the better Certainly the State is
doing Il commendable work in pro-
viding Il school for such practical,

A TURKISH MASSACRE
Over 200 Persons Slaughtered by
Soldiers at Suerdash.

Monastir, European Turkey, June 8.
Possible details are arriving here
of the slaughter OF the Inhabitants OF
the village of Smerdash, south Of Lake
Presba. May 81, by Bashi-BaZouks. II
appears that on the arrival or the
Bashi-Bazouks, CharalarOff's band OF
insurgents withdrew to the mountains
without sustaining any loss. AS no
rebels were left in the village, the In
habitants experienced no anxiety, I'M
til suddenly at sunset the Turks, VINO
had completely surrounded the place
commenced a regular bombardment,
whereupon all the villagers assembled
in the streets. Though the artillery
ceased firing during part Of the night,
the Turkish infantry fired all night
long. The artillery bombardment was
recommended at daybreak, but as 1t
was ineffective. the Turks set fire to
the village On all sides and commenced
a general massacre, slaughterfng wom-
eli, children and the aged. About 300
houses were burned and upwards OF
2OO persons, mostly women and chill
dren. were killed. The women and
girls were ordered killed while resist
ing outrage. Whole households were
slain. One family of seven were slain
and their bodies heaped on the hearth.
Not q living soul was left in the VII
iage The survivors, many of them half
burned or otherwise injured, fled. Some
of the fleeing villagers were captured
and ths!r ears and noses cut off before
they were butchered.
The dispatch adds that 1900 villa.
gers were in the mountains, without
clothing or food. One band Of these,
consisting Of 40 women and children
were caught by the soldiers and killed
after horrible treatment.

TrifIing Things Sometimes Prove Sc
rious Matters.


Raleigh Post
An exchange tells this, which goes
to show how trifiing Il thing can
sometimes throw a train Off the
track and cause serious disaster:
while chasing q mouse Oh the
Mobile & Ohio Railroad, near Muir
physboro, Ill.,, recently, an owl got
fixed in the points, rendering them
unworkabie. A locomotive which
came along shortly afterwards was
derailed, and an express, following
later, was stopped only in the nick OF
time to prevent a disaster"
Had this accident occurred in this
State some evil-minded contingent

manufacturer would have pro-
claimed in loud black type "Rotten
Ties," or terminal negligence OF
high officials Accidents happen,
as sad as inexplicable, but even their
sad features do not justify deliberate

Murder! Murder!
Elizabeth City Economist.

Elizabeth City Economist.
Did it ever occur to North Caro-
linians that the State is losing its old
reputation for conservatism, and to
endeavor to find q cause for its de-
cadence? Our loved old State is
surging rapidly to the front rank in
lawlessness and crime. It's so. We
have never known in the history OF
the State such a plethora of homi-
cideS and other outrageous crimes
in times OF peace and not perhaps in
times OF war when the laws are 81
lent. It's alarming. It's contagious.
We are IL law-abiding man and we
hate to carry concealed weapon,
but Il pistol is very convenient and
safe to carry with you in IL State i'll
which every man carries his life in
his hand. And although | carry IL
crutch and it is Il good weapon in
close quarters, a six shooter is our
favorite weapon at long range. Why
is it that we are so rapidly growing
into IA hOmicidal State? The con-
sideration of the subject has been
forced upon us by the dangerous con-
ditions, and we have concluded that
as Il people, from Governor down, we
are too merciful. Mercy is u divine
and blessed quality But mercy in
excess is license in disguise. Weneed
more hangings. We need less maud
lin sentiment about the death penal
ty. We should love murdered man
more and q murderer less. "Thou
shalt not kill, "sayeth the Scriptures.
''ThOu shalt do no MURDER" sayeth
the decalogue And another says,
''Whosoever sheddeth mans blood
by man shall his blood be she'd" The
first murderer was cursed by God,
was made an outcast upon the earth
and might have been hung had there
been organized society and laws and
enough people on earth to go to see
the hanging. But there was divine
decree that has followed a murderer
through all time, that he should be
accursed, an outlaw, a wretched,
miserable man, with Gods curse
stamped upon his brow.

FAMILY OF FIVE SLAIN

Father and Four Sors Killed In
Fight With Cowboys.
McCook, Neb, June "Details of
the humiliation of a whole family
have been received from st. Francis,
Kansas 1t seems that for some time
there has been bad feeling between
men employed by the DeWar Cattle
Company and a family named Berry
over the possession Of certain land
The fight resulted in eight deaths
and came after a recent trip of the
Berry family to town. The father and
four sons were returning to their
homes. Eight miles from their deSti
nation they stopped to cut their way
through a wire fence. The cowboys
came upon them just as they complet-
ed the work. The Berrys mounted
quickly, and the cowboys fired. The
oldest boy. John, was shot, but stayed
in his saddle The Berrys had the
fastest mounts and soon were beyond
accurate fire range. The cowboys
kept up scattering fusilade of shots.
Arriving home, the Berrys did not
think they had been pursued all the
way. and they were in front of the
house when the party Of cowboys rode
up the hill d few yards to the north.
The shooting began Immediately. Two
of the Berry boys were killed before
they could get their rifles. The old
man and the other two boys got inside
the house. There were about 20 cow
boys, and they started on the gallop
for the house, intending to fire it and
burn the defenders out The old man
and the boys attempted to escape from
the other side of the house and were
shot down in succession. Three of the
cowboys We're killed by the farmers
while they were defending the house.

Sensible View to Take.

a contemporary very pertinently
remarks that reasonable men will
ultimately come to understand that
the destruction OF capital incident to
the suspension of labor and the clos
ing down OF plants in strikes cannot
make for the ultimate good of either
party contributing to the general
welfare. The union of employers
will make mediation or arbitration
absolutely necessary in the adjust
ment of differences, for if the union
idea were carried to Il logical conclu-
sion and all the employers We're or
ganized against all the employees, in
dustry must presently come to a
standstilI and barbarism take the
place of civilization.

Mr., Edward Atkinson's Error.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, OF Boston,
one Of the prime movers in the new
educational movementfor the South,
writes the following to the Manutac-
turers' Record regarding a converse
tiop recently with a gentleman from
South Carolina:
He also expressed, as did many
Others, the most earnest support OF
the Joint movement represented at
the convention in Richmond for es-
tablshing common schools which
you are opposing in such way as
to confirm me in my Judgment that
your writer's and such men as the
Senator from North Carolina, who
lately made such IL silly address, are
absolutely afraid that in the progress
of the next generation the cOlOred
people will attain a higher position
industrially and perhaps i'll property
than the masses OF the poor whites
OF the South-ignOrant, illiterate
and averse to going to school. That
is the fear of many men of sense and
discretion in the South which is lead
ing them to invite all the co-opera-
ton they can get and all the aid
they can secure in overcoming these
evils
We do not know upon what infor-
nation Mr.. Atkinson bases his state
ment that many men OF sense and
discretion at the South are lending
their aid to this new educational
move because they fear the colored
people will attain o. higher position
industrially and perhaps in property
than the poor white people. We do
not think he has basis for such be-
lief. We do not believe there are any
sensible men in this section who en-
terrain such belief. There isno foun
dation for it and no sensible man
who knows anything about the stu
alton at the South would have such
fear. 1t is no such fear us this which
causes opposition to the new scheme
for an educational campaign at the
| South 1t is based upon much
sOunder and more sensible principles.
