USED SHOT Guns ON BOYS.
Three Small Boys Wounded Yesterday
Norning-The Trouble Over Melons.

Four small boys in the country. a
bic old man with a shotgun md pien-
~ of loaded shells came near caus-
ing a homicide yesterday morning.
These things did result in three boys
being wounded-one exceedingly pain.
ful-the arrest of the old man who
for a while and a great deal of talk.
The trouble occurred at the home Of
Mrs Frank Brogden, north of the city.
not far from the bridge over the Nor
folk and western road. Marion Nor
wood. an aged citizen who makes his
home with Mrs. Brogden. his daughter,
was the n who did the shooting.
He fired on four boys. three of WHOM
were wounded. In the party Of boys
were Frank Womble. son of F. c.
Womble; Phillip Robbins, son of
Charles Robbins: Emmett Aiken, son
of E. r. Aiken. and Frank Ellis, son Of
". F. Ellis, Young Aiken Was badly.
though not seriously, hurt. He was
shot in the back with No. s shot,
eighty-one shot taking effect. Rob-
bins and Ellis were both slightly hurt.
but Womble escaped without a scratch.
When the boys were brought and
came to town Aiken was bloody from
head to feet and this caused many ex>
aggerated rumors to be circulated.
Consequently there was considerable
excitement for awhile. The wounded
were attended by DR.. A. Cheatham.
Later in the afternoon Marion Nor
wood was arrested on a warrant sworn
out by the father of the Aiken boy
and he was placed under a bond OF
$500. He gave the required security
and the trial was set for Wednesday
of next week. Justice of the Peace ].
E. Owens issued the warrant.
The whole trouble is unfortunate
and is regretted by parties on both
sides. Yesterday morning young Rob-
bins n Womble ook two single bar
rel guns and a dog and went out to
hunt. On the way out in the country
they met the Ellis and Aiken boys
who Joined them. They went on q
hunt and finally, about 10 o'clock, came
to the watermelon patch of Mrs. Brog-
den. Leaving Aiken to hold the gun
the boys went into the patch and
pulled a canteloupe. This caused all
the trouble. While the boys were sit
ting by the roadside eating the mellon
Mr.. Norwood came out with his gun
Without warning, more than to tel
them to look OUT, or words to that
effect, he began to shoot. He shot
four times, DIN Of the boys saying
that five shots were fired. At the first
intimation of trouble the boys ran and
it was while they were running away
that h shooting was done. 1t Is
supposed that young Aiken was abou'
forty yards away when he was shot
i The. other boys were further OFF. Fol
that reason Aiken's wounds are thu
| most serious.-Durham Herald.

RIoToUs NEGRO EXCURSIONS.

The Atlanta Constitution calls on
the railroads in Georgia to put a stop
to the IawIessness and rioting, often
ACCOMPANIED by loss Of life, which oc-
occur so often on negro excursions. 1T
gives several recent instances of most
outrageous conduct on h part Of ne
gro excursfonists. The fastest one was
a duel with pistols between an Allan
tic Coast Line policean, i nthe protec-
ton of his own life, with a negro ex-
cu~rsionist, in which the former was Sc
riously wounded, N negro killed and
several others wounded. On another ne
gro excursion a little while before that
the negroes in the front and rear coaches
amused themselves by shooting at each
other when the two cars were u
in view of each other on a curve in~the
road. These ~excursionistS often shoot
at peeple and into houses along the
way.
Conditions nave not reached such a
pass in our state, but there is often a
good deal of disorderly conduct on ex-
cursfon trains.
The lawlessness lis not confined en-
tirely % negroes. There are times
when there is pretty riotous conduct
among white ex~cursiOnists.
The railroads will have to take Meas
ures to put a stop to his rioting on
their excursion trains. If these excur-
sions are not more orderly the rail-
roads will nave to stop chartering their
trains for such purposes, for the COM
pany's property is often greatly dam
aged, in addition to the lives of their
employees and of other persons being
put in danger. The Constitution avs
some of the railroads in Georgia have
already taken steps to stop these riot
Gus excursions. If h railroads Ton
niue to charter their trains for negro
excursions they will have to establish
the rule that all the excursionists
shall be searched before boarding the
train and made to deposft their pistols
and razors with an officer of h com
pany, to be given back on the return
of the train. This would be troublS-
some, but the railroads will be driven
to it or forced to refuse to run cheaT
negro excursions.
Wilmington is a great place for ex-
c%ursions. We suppose more excur-
sionists by far come to this city h a
to any other in the state. We want tc
see them come. AS a rule they arr
very orderly in the city. 1t is seldom
thai there are any complaints Of theii
conduct while here, but there have beer
some pretty rowdy scenes on some o.
the trains The railroads should adop
some means to put a stop to such &C
~currences in the protection of their owl
property and OF the lives OF the quie
and law-abiding passengers on thes'
trains

There is no longer an international
agreement prohibiting the discharge of
torpedoes from balloons or flying MAJ
chimes in time of war. The prohibition
OF this mode Of warfare imposed by
The Hague conference expired on the
29th instant
Military experts are now specializing
on the probability of either Russia o,
Japan resorting to this new manner OF
conducting hositilities- 1t is to be hop
ed that neither nation will adopt such
measure. War would be hell then sure
enough. Forts, fortified cities and
whole armies would be liable to utter
obstruction and humiliation in a war
conducted by such means. Aerial tor
pedoes would be more destructive OF
life than chain shot, which has been
ruled out by civilized nations for years
and a more barbarous of fight
ing han the use of the poisoned and
the expanding bullet.
This proposition to prohibit the use
of aerial torpedoes was very warmly
discussed at The Hague conference.
There was much opposition to its adop-
ton. Those favoring it, in order to Sc
cure its adoption, agreed hat it should
be in force for only five years. Tina,
was the only way in which they could
secure its passage by the conference.
The nations there represented agreed
TO adopt the rule as an experiment.
This was one Of the few regulations of
The Hague conference which the gov
ernments of Great Britain and the
United States agreed to without any
reservation.
Now that the inhibition against the
use of the aerial torpedo no longer ex-
lists the world is anxious to know
whether Russia or japan will adopt it
as a mode of warfare and also what
viii be the results of its use If adopted.

the manufacture OF the most powerful
explosive yer made. She keeps this
a profound secret. The havoc she has
wrought among the Russian feet by
means Of tQrpedoes goes far to prove

Visitors to Chicago who beheld Gov.

TO PROTECT AMERICAN INTER.
ESTS.

State department officials at Wash
ington are not going into mysteries
over the seizure by the Russian war
ships of vessels loaded with merchan-
disc belonging to American citizens,
but they are going to have a satisfac-
tory explanation and settlement from
the Russian government. If the rights
of any American citizen have been vio-
lated we are sure they will be redressed.
Because our government is not max
ing a great blow and bluster is no
reason for thinking that it is not
looking after the interests of those of
our citizens who ave been wronged
by the acton of Russia. The first thing
to be lone is to find out exactly what
occurred and what were the rights un-
der the circumstances of the shippers
of the goods in the vessel that was
sunk and in those which were seized
The state department a acted
promptly in the matter and a gone
at the business Of caring for the in
terests of those Of our citizens who
have suffered in the right way. Nc
one reed fear that our government will
put up with any indignities or oppres-
sive treatment from the Russian
authorities.

the truth OF this statement It is ter
rible to think what would be h re-
suits Of the dropping from a balloon
or airship of one OF these torpedoes
into the midst OF an army, a city or
fort. This would not be warfare. II
would be b~utchery. The nations of the
world should not countenance such
manner of conducting hostilities. 1t is
barbarous, inhuman. War is bad
enough as it is, but with this new in
strument of destruction of human life
1t would be a great deal worse.

That is good advice Mr.. Jordan, pres
dent of the Southern Cotton Growers
Association, gives to the cotton plant
in warehouses and draw upon it if they
are obliged to have money, instead OF
selling all their crop. He advises them
not to sell more than one-tenth of their
crop at once. He says that by this
means the farmers can control the price
Of cotton and keep it around twelve
cents, while without some such concert
ed action on their part the spectators
and mill men will keep the price down
to about eight cents until all the crop
is out of the hands Of the producers.

much stock in Mr.. Organs theory of
state ownership of railroads., because
of the trouble we are having, with the
one little railroad the state owns. Mr..

our state owning more railroads, the

1t seems that the assassination Of
Minister Plehve was the work of a n
of conspirators who a been organ
lied for some time and not that of a
fanatic acting on his own account. Ac-
cording to the Russian police there IS
a conspiracy with deep-laid plans and
that his was not it's first attack on
Russian officials. Mr.. Plehve was hated
by the Russian populace more than
any other of the imperial officers.
