was greatly in favor of Raeford.

the amusements of the holiday, the
storm rendering impossible any night

Bisley, Eng, July 6.-The Ameri-
can team of rinemen was five points
to the good after remarkably close
shooting at the 500 and 500 yard
ranges on the first day of the contest
for the Sir Howard Vincent shield,
against the Queens Westminster
Volunteers. This lead was secured at
the 500 yard ranges, the score at 600
yards being even at 500.
When the Americans left the 500
range with a five point lead they re-
ceived Il round of hearty cheers from
the onlookers. The Americans made
40 and the Westministers 46 buiis
eyes at 500 range.

BERNARD LOCATED, VOMITS
SANDER.

a reference to the Geographic col
umns of today's paper containing the
interview had in Norfolk with G. M.
Bernard will do more than anything
we could say to acGuaint the general
reader with the character of this lech-
orally supposed to be the main cause
of the tragedy which occurred in Raj
eigh recently. AS his friends have
said it is true that he has both
nerve" and brass" and it yet re-
mains to be seen whether he will VEN
ture to bring these two valuable as
sets again to Raleigh.
a more indecent interview could not
have been manufactured by Bernard S
worst enemy than that for which he
seems to have been himself RESPONSE
BILE. Referring to the shooting of
Dockery he calls the outraged father
a 'cowardly cur" He then turns round
and insults the Dockery family by
tune if necessary to defend" the
young man whom he is suspected of
having lured into ways of vice and
for whose dangerous wounds he is
generally supposed to have been pri-
marily responsible. Having accom-
plished these two delicate feats Ber-
nard takes a tack and states that he
cannot possibly get justice in North
Carolina and that he would welcome a
removal of the case against him to Vir-
ginia-whatever that may mean and
however he expects to accomplish 1t
The expressed desire is no doubt sin
cere, the statements are the lies of a
man so stepped in slime as to be
morally idiotic.
The statements attributed to Ber-
nard would be astounding did they
come from almost any other man. Con-
slider the circumstances under which
they were made. He had gone in the
company of Young Dockery and two
girls, whose names had not heretofore
been tainted, to house of ill-fame.
The fathers of the girls discovered
the circumstances. Both Bernard and
Dockery were out of town. Both knew
that the facts were known. Dockery,
like q brave man, comes back to face
the music; Bernard tarries until he
hears the result and fees. Dockefy
lies wounded in a hospital; Bernard
speaks of the father who fired in the
natural passion of a man as cow
ardly cur" the while he himself, an
exile, turks in another State and vents
himself of SANDER.
We hardly think that this lecherous
moral and physical runt will re-
turn to Raleigh. He says he
is going to Eastern North
Carolina. That, proba bly,, is another
lie. He will scarcely go to Greenville,
at any rate. But if he should return,
he will be difficult problem OF
course we do not counsel violence, nor
do we believe that he would be killed.
But the town should act if he does
return. There is a limit on 'cOnSerVat-
ISM" Bernard, in all conscience, was
bad enough before. His Norfolk in
terview is a slap in the face to de-
cency. And patience is not everlasting
even in Raleigh.

SOME NEW HIGH FINANCE.

Incorporating bad debts is the latest
of high finance, the
trustful Topeka bank being the prlncl-
pal stakeholder. By watering the
stock and catching a bull market,
the bank might be able to get its de-
positors to invest and so side-step
at one and the same time both the
relation of creditor to Mr.. Devlin and
debtor to the depositors. AS Mr.. Dew
lin seems to have been the bank ana
borrowed from himself, all sides OF an
unfortunate affair should be SATISFIED
by the arrangement. High finance Is
the thing until it comes to show
down-and even then there is the OPP
portunity for reorganization Every
cloud has its lining, that looks IKE
silver.
