ROWDY NEGROES ON TRAIN
Drunken Men Make it Very Disagree.
hi for the Sober Passengers.
(Snnoiol To Tho MncSon Oar

Especial to The Messenger.)
Goldsboro, N. c.. October 4.-The
Pierce Carnival company is holding
forth at LAGRANGE this week, and asst
night the A. and n. G. R. R. ran a
special train to that point from Gods
boro. Those who were so unfortunate
as % be on the train. on the return
trip about II O'Clock at night had a
rather rough experience. When the
crowd of negro tOughs that went from
here lined themselves up against the
saloon counters in LAGRANGE, they
never left until they were wild and
wooley-eyed. The saloons haze Seen
banished from Goldsboro about three
years, and the pleasure Of drinking
stimulating beverages owe the counter
with ices and other tempting condl-
ments, instead of getting out in the
back lots with a hot half pint Of whis-
key in their hip pockets, proved too
much for them. They drank their fl
and when they started for home they
were looking for trouble and some al
them found it. The fighting and "fuS-
sing and frolicking on the train made
it very disagreeable for those who were
sober. No one was very seriously n
iured. but two or three got slightly
cut and several were knocked down
The doors on one car had to be locked
to prevent a crowd of negroes killing
another one whom they were looking
for.

After being out for something over
four hours the jury in the case of
Charles H. jackson against the Allan
tic Coast Line returned a verdict
awarding the plaintiff $408.O4. The
amount sued for was $4,000.
The circumstances connected with
the case were briefly outlined in yes
terday's Messenger. The plaintiff was
a small negro boy who got his leg
broke at the Coast Line freight depot,
and it was c%ontended that the accident
was caused by the negligence Of an
employe of the railroad company.
1T was between four and five O'Clock
yesterday afternoon when the attor-
neys concluded their argument and the
case was given to the jury. 1t began
to look like they were not going TO
agree, but at 1925 they got together
and returned the above verdict. It is
not known what the railroad company
will do in regard to appealing the case.
An effort was made yesterday after
noon to get the Meier case continued,
but Judge Jones told the attorneys that
it would have to be tried. Continuance
was asked by the Consolidated Com
pany, it being stated that an important
witness was too i'll to be present. Judge
Jones did not think the evidence to be
brought out by the witness of i'm
D~ortance enough to cause the case TIC
be continued, SO it will be begun on
Monday and there is every probability
of it taking several days to finish it
Joe Meier was killed by a suburban
can near Greenville station one night
during September, 1903, and soon after
wards suit was instituted for $2o,OOt
damages. On the night of the accident
Meier had been put off of the car anc
it was soon afterwards that another
car came along and ran over him
mangling his body in a frlghttu
name
Judge Jones has announced That n
will adjourn court on Thursday, 50 /
is more than probable that all the re
mainder Of the term will be devoted tt
trying the Meier case. So far three
damage suits have been disposed Of, {
verdict having been rendered III tWt
and the third was non-suited. There arr
very few cases on the civil ocket a
the present time of any Importance ex
>cept damage suits.

"If there was an uprising in China
this country could not get sufficient

There are many troops in the Philip

for clash with the Chinese. The dam
ger. if there is any, is to the Americans
situated far inland. If they were at

United States could get troops on the

concerned, 1t is different. The Navy is

see a disposition to push prohibition
through Federal channels. They are
not only opposed to anything of this

"Any bill that prevents man get

any part of the United States, is an in
fringement on the Constitution of the
country and a worse restriction of in

the Constitution gives man the right
to order whatever he wants in one State
and have it delivered to him without
interference in another. Any law that
prevents that will be bitterly fought by
Germans. and we will carry it into the
campaigns of the future. We are
aroused on this subject. as we find that
gradually the prohibition vagaries are
encroaching on the liberty of the citi-
