MORE DISORDER

Colored men from this town
have joined in the movement to
bring discredit on their race, by
their recent action at the Friend
ship Camp Meeting. Why any
one should want to carry a pistol
to Church or Campmeeting is be-
yond our comprehension. But
abad whiskey" and concealed
deadly weapons are responsible
for the killing of a young man OF
this town, the seriously wound
ing of at least two others, and
more or less carving and injury
to an unknown number.
We do not know that we. can
add more to what we have al
ready said on this subject. 1t IS
a serious matter, affecting the
good name Of the State, as well
as the credit of the Negro as a
race. The officers Of the law will
of course see that punishment is
dealt out to the guilty ones, If
evidence can be had to convict
them. But, given the condi-
tions, a secluded spot in the
woods, dark night, and the fact
that all were engaged in unlaw-
full practices, and therefore will
hesitate to testify against the &C
cused, the case presents Difficult
ties. Added to this, is the fur
Their fact that a large part of the
crowds there gathered were from
all parts of two or three states,
only practically known to the
officers, renders it still more diff
ficult.
1t IS possible that more legls-
lation may be demanded to try
and meet such conditions in the
future. One of the prominent
members of New Castle County's
bar is of the opinion that law
should be enacted giving author
ity to all officers of the law, to
stop any and all persons whom
he suspects of carrying con-
cealed deadly weapon, and
searching him. This would be
stringent and if enforced would
possibly be unpopular, and
might occasionally work hard
ship. Butsurely there should be
some closer surveillance of the
sale and use of pistols, knives,
razors, &c. These should not be
permitted to get into incompetent
hands.
