NORTH CAROLINA TROOPS DIS
GRACE THEMSELVES.

We reckon we owe an apology 10
those Georgia militiamen who looted
restaurants n cigar stands in Char
lotte for criticising their conduct, in
view Of the disgracefuI action Of u
number of the men of the First North
Carolina regiment in Reidsville on
Monday. while en- route to their homes
from Manassas. We know hat n
members Of this regiment were very
d~isorderly when in camp at Wriglits-
villestwo summers ago, but we did not
think there were any men in the North
Carolina state guard, who would so
far forget military discipline. regard
for the rights of others or the rules OF
d~ecency and gentlemanly conduct as to
act as it is reported some members Of
this regiment did at Reidsville.
Especially humiliatng to the people
of our state is their conduct at the
time when the press within the state
and beyond its borders Is sounding the
praise of members Of another regi-
ment of our state guard for faithful
performance of duty.
We hope the men who acted in this
~disgraceul ann at Reidsville can
be. identified and that they Will be
dismissed rom h service and then be
punished severely by the criminal
courts.
A special to yesterdays News and
Observer gives an account of the loot
ing of the Reidsville stores, as follows:

SHOULD BE LOOKED AFTER.

Prince George, the negro prophet
who got his race i'm Wilmington and
James City SO wrought up. has heen
heard from. He writes that he is
bound for New Bern and that he will
set another date for the destruction
of those places which he thoroughly
believes will stick.-New Bern Jour-
nal.
When this man shows ND IN New
Bern we hope the authorities there
will take him in hand and nut him
where he will have ne further oppor-
tunity to carry on his devilment. He
has the appearance of being half
witted. We believe him to be more
knave than fool, but whether we are
right or not in this surmise, he is a
menace to society in his wanderings
about the state, making his ~so-called
prophecies of destruction by fire and
flood of our cities. If he has not sufi-
cient mental capacity to know what he
is doing then he is a fit subject for Ar
insane asylum. If he does understand
the nature of his conduct and is pun

the public DAD or or the state farm
where steady work would cure him OF
his desire of making a living by impOs-
ing himself on the people as a prophet
Perhaps steady occupation with a hoe
or a pillow might be of benefit to him
whether it is either mental weakness
or moral depravity which ails him.
This man certainly should not be
allowed to roam the streets. if he
comes back to Wilmington. as ne did
when here before, and spread terror
among a certain class Of our popula-
ton. He had labor completely disol.
ganiZed for a while and could do 50
again were he to come back with his
prophecies of destruction of the city
| There is danger that his words might
| lead to even worse results.
Our city authorities should be on
the lookout for him and he should be
arrested on arrival.

Judge Parker, the democratic nomi-
nee for president,
The governmental expenditures last
year mounted UP to five hundred and
eighty-two millions. which is not
equaled by any year since the civil
war, with the exception of the year of
the Spanish war"
To this Mr.. Roosevelt, the repubi-
car president and candidate for a
second term replies:\
w intend in the future to carry on
the government in the same way tina,
we have carried it on IN the past"
Some of the items making I'D this
tremendous expenditure for last year
were: For the war department. one
hundred and fifteen millions: for the
navy department, one hundred and
two millions: for civil and miscellane-
Gus, one hundred and thirty-two mil
lions; for pensions. one hundred and
forty-two millions.

The Richmond News Leader in COM
menting on MI. Roosevelt's letter Of
acceptance says:
President R~oosevelt's letter of az
ceptance is a keen, strong. aggressive
analysis of the democratic platform
and a merciless demonstration Of lis
various weak points. As a literary
performance and a political production
it is c~reditable. Yet it avoids OF misses
all the real issues Of the present cam
paign. It searches out the weakness
and faults of the democratic platform,
which are unimportant, while ignol-
ing those of the republican nomrne,,
which are important.
Rather contradictory to pronoune
sit a keen, strong, aggressive analysis
Of the democratic platform and thei
declare hat it searches out the weaI-
nesses and faults which are unim-
portant. How can it be a strong anal
ysis of the document if it searches ou
and criticises only unimportant de
fects?

Nobody seems TO say thai possibly the
unfortunate woman whose body was
found In the reservoir, yesterday,
jumped in to save her little girl from
drowning. A great many people go into
the woods in that vicinity for an out
ing. Isn't it quite possible that the
child fell into the water and the dis
tracted mother went in after her little
n and both were drowned? There
was absolutely no proof that the wom-
an was insane. The fact that she had
been somewhat nervous and queer OF

her baby n herself. 1t may be the
