able Haywood Skinner shooting at Raleigh,
an unfortunate settlement of personal diff
ferences on the street which has con-
vulsed the entire state, is bound to arouse
public sentiment upon the question. which
has always been a grave one with us. as
to the merits of the unwrftten law which
has permitted men to settle their differ
eEces on the public streets by pistols.
"In fact" continued Mr.. Crawford, while
rignt-thinking men deprecate the code
duello, 1t had better be revived rather than
to countenance promiscuous shooting upon
the public streets of our cities between two
men who entertain an enmity. Innocent
persons are often hit by stray bullets,
whereas If the contestants retired to some
secluded spot, they would not hit any
one but themselves, and the survivor would
be amenable to the anti-dueling laws and
punished.

made sincere efforts to get tat these per-
