One fails to see why Russia has de-
cided that cotton is contraband Of war.
One can understand coal, and provi-
sions but why cotton? If cotton is to
be Contraband so must anything else
be COntraband The explanation is
that the United States trade with the
Orient is chiefly in cotton, and this is
a hit against us Russia has been
very disappointed at the attitude of our
public opinion upon the present war.
She has been purchasing ships from
Germany which she intends to fit up
as commerce destrOyeTs. BY declaring
cotton contraband of war, these vessels
could stop any ship, under charter for
Japan, upon the high seas, and con-
iscate the cargo. If the war continues
very long we shall have these steamers
in the Pacific, lOoing out for the Korea,
Manchuria and the Siberia. However
the Japanese warships will be able to
look after them, and then where are

No corrections or apologies are warranted af-
ter the above statement. Our short history of
how blind tiger was closed over that way" :"
was simple statement of the fact, without say
ing how it was DONE 1t 10 ampli6ed above by
those who took part in it, and they confirm all
that we said. We have no concern abou. the in
ferences drawn, nor the distortions of our utter
ances made by any one Our comments as to
the evil tendency of mob law holds good ind
cannot be gainsaid. There was no reflection on
any one, no occasion to apply our criticism spe-
officially to this instance. In fact, we positively
disclaimed any such intention, as plainly as En-
glish could make it, in our issue OF May 7th,
when we said: 1T is true we may have been
guilty of taking part or winking at little out
bursts of popular Indignation similar to the
late Pollock interview with Holmberg land we
don't blame them) but we say the law should be
supreme and it is decidedly best that it be strict
ly observed always"
As we have never said that violence" OF
| ''threats" were used by these parties, nor made
any statement the facts do not warrant. we most
respectfully decline to admit any such thing
and therefore dismiss the subject as an error OF

Enterprise for Verda.

Only last week we had occasion to
recount a number of the institutions
at the thriving town of Verda, and
this week we are called on to mention
another. The Verda Drug Co., Lin
ited, whose charter appears in this
issue, is the new. enterprise to which
we refer. 1t Is organized with capt.
tai of $10, 900, to begin business when
one-half is subscribed. Mr.. K. S. Muir
rell, DIR. G. w. Durham and DR.. w. A.
Fletcher, are the incorporatOrs of
this company, which proposes to do
a big drug business at the new town
of Verda. on the Colfax and Northern
railroad. This town is regarded as
an ideal point for such business.
When in Verda a few days ago we
learned that work had started al
ready on the building for this busi-
ness. which will be two stories high,
the up stairs to be used as a Masonic
hall, and may be by other fraternal
societies. These gentlemen deserve
and we feel sure will win success by
their enterprise.

A shooting occurred at Georgetown
last Tuesday. said to be the result of
threats made by one John Mathis against
Deputy Sheriff ]. j. Sullivan. On meet
ing Mathis the report is that Sullivan at
once opened FIRE. AS number OF per-
sons had gathered to meet the train, the
result was not only the wounding of Ma
this, but the peppering of Mrs: o. H.
Cooper with a part OF the small shot
(said to be turkey shot with which the
gun was loaded, and also the hitting OF
one or two men near by. Sullivan came
to Colfax the next day. and we under
stand the matter is to be looked into by
the grand jury. 1t is very unfortunate
that lady should have been hurt in
any such way. but we are glad to learn
Mrs. Cooper's injuries are not serious. In
fact. it is said nobody was badly hurt.
