MAYOR HAMMER
FOR CONGRESS.

There is a persistent rumor on
the street today, but from what
source it originated can not be
definitely learned, that a movement
Is on foot among the Democrats to
nominate Mayor Harvey W. Hammer
at the convention here tomorrow for
congress from this district.
Every man so far suggested for
the empty honor has declined to al
low his name to go before the con-
vention, evidently not wanting to
be a target for that able Republican,
Hon. w. P. Hubbard, the noninee
of the Republican party, and in
their dilemma it may be they r
turning to Mayor Harmer to lead
them in the wilderness, but but lii
tie if any credence, should be given
the rumor, as Mr.. Harmer was a
member of the convention that nom
mated Mr.. Hubbard and is pledged
TO him. Those who best know the
mayor do not believe under the cir
cumstances he would accept the
nomination at the hands of the
Democratic convention.

MINISTRIES OPEL
8 9II OPERA HOUSE

Donnelly & Hatfeld,s MINISTRIES,
which open the Grand tomorrow
night made a big hit at Parkem
burg, as shown from the following
write5up today:
Funny Tommy Donnellys leading
"a clever bunch of MINSTREL made.
good last night at the Auditorium
theatre at the opening Of the
theatrical season in this city.
1t was a superb production, and
notwithstanding the heat a large
and very much Pleased aadience
saw It.
Nc one who was in the theatre
had a kick to make and the fact was
generally recognized that the indi-
riduaI who had the arranging of
the show IN hand did hiswork in a
manner inimitable. Every part
was effective to a decided degree and
the entire company made good in
every detail.
DonneIly and Hatfeld's magni-
-icent Ministries ~(personal direction
of Al G.. Field) viii always be vel
come here, that's sure, for they
went through last night with their
performance in a manner which
commanded commendation and adj
miration from the many persons
who saw them.
Dan Heating it with the bunch.
He's funny; as funny almost as the
one and only Tommy Donnelly, and
with a voice as cracked as Liberty
Bell, he did his stunt to perfection
and showed that he was there with
the minstrel ability and with the
experience.
Norman Stanley, who is probably
not very well known here, is the in
terlocutor, and while he has not the
presence just now of a king pin In
terlocutor he shows such an adapti-
bility for the place that before the
season is two weeks older he will be
one of the leaders.
There are certainly some musical
fopliners with the show. Jack
Eearns is good. Scion De Miller
isn't bad, while Joe McAnnaIan pro
duces the goods at every point. Mr..
Stanley has a fine voice and he as
sisted IN the work of the qnartette
much to his credit and the pleasure
IF the audience.
|EWhere Is Brown?'' made a hit.
Dan Keuting, who disposed of it
md was encored till he was tired,
couldn't make good in a church
choir, perhaps, but he is certainly
there in the minstrel work and to.
e him is to laugh; to hear him is
to howl.
The first part is good, especially
the finish of it, where Teddy ROose-
velt, a resident of Oyster Bag, takes
4 trip south to hunt bear. He found
two.
Since the city editor won't per-
NIT of the consumption of too much
it is necessary to skip a few
things and wind this up with the
suggestion that The Independent
Order of the Improved Possums is
here with the candy and everybody
from Tommy Donnelly to the chief
candidates know their business.
Giveadam Jones was, as his name
indicates. some pumpkins in his
part, and all of the Possums got
theirs.

Significant Greetings.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
Harper's Weekly pays it's respects
to the public men who have been
brought into prominence by the re-
cent proceedings in the Senate on the
railway rate bill in the following
words of greeting to them:
To Benjamin r. Tillman-Greeting! In
at least score of years no man in public
life has reversed so quickly and so ad-
vantageously popular opinion OF him
self. The country now knows you for
what you are-an honest, capable and
generous statesman, equal to an emer-
gency, controller of a naturally unruly
tongue, tenacious of your own and the
peoples rights, an earnest foe, yet un-
willing even in moment OF excessive
irritation to withhold from your most
bitter enemy frank and manly recogni-
ton OF the credit justly his due, squarely
and successively risen to with the SYM
pathetic h.lpfulness of the noblest Roman
of them all. Fortunate indeed is he who
possesses the friendship OF William B.
Allison
To Joseph W. Bailey-Greeting To
have established in a single debate, a
reputation for pre-eminence as lawyer,
du OFdtOF, dLu u SottcSIudu, duiOuS COl-
leagues of genuine and recognized ability,
was an achievement worthy OF a Benton
or Clay.
To Nelson W. Misunderstanding! Sa-
gacity, determination and courtesy, sup
plemented by the faith Of ones fellows,
make for and retain true leadership.
To Joseph B. Foraker-Greeting! Con-
viction, the courage thereof and the re-
spect thereof be yours.
To President Roosevelt-Greeting!
There is whole lot to be under
stood in the words OF greeting to Mr..
Roosevelt which are made conspicu-
Gus by their absence. The greeting
to the president is more cutting than
if it had contained many words OF
criticism of the part he played in the
affair
Wedonot understand why Harper S
should have overlooked Mr.. Chandler.
He surely should have been classed
with Mr.. Tillman and the others who
took part in the sensational affair.
He played as prominent part as
any of the others and came out ol
the affray with flying colors.

Failure Of the Courts the Cause.
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.

Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
The North Carolina authorities de-
serve all commentator for the
promptness with which they have set
in motion the machinery OF the law
in order to bring to justice the men,
bers of the mob who took John V.
johnson, the white man since de-
clared to have been insane, from the
Jail at Wadesboro and lynched him.
Already thirteen arrests have been
made, the prisoners required to give
$5, 900 bond each. Warrants for the
arrest OF five Others are out, and it is
expected that still other warrants
will be issued. Governor Glenn, who
visited the scene of the lynching to
make a personal investigation, has
publicly declared that all the accused
will be prosecuted to the full extent
OF the law. The punishment OF the
guilty in this instance is urgently de-
manded as warning to others who
might be encouraged by their escape
from punishment to follow their law
less example. Resort to mob violence
is all too common in this country.
Respect for the law must be enforced
both for the preservation of the law
itself and for the protection Of society.
But while we are enforcing this re-
spect, we should remember that the
law in it's administr alton must be
| such as to command and to entitle it
to respect. That this is not always
SO in this country is too obvious to
need pointing out. Every cOmmun-
ity in every State could furnish ex-
ample after example of justice de-
feated altogether or long delayed. 1t
is also significant fact that a great
| majority of the recent numerous
lynchings have occurred only after
the courts have been given an oppor-
tunity to deal out justice to the ac-
cused and have failed. 1t is this de-
feet in the administration of our
criminal law which is largely respon-
| sible for the disrespect and contempt
into which all law is being rapidly
brought. If we would remove the
| disrespect and the contempt, we must
first remove the cause. Our admin
istration of criminal justice must be
reformed, and in this work the legal
profession should take the lead. They
are best qualified to locate the defect
and suggest the remedy. This they
should do and also cooperate with
all other good citizens in applying it.
When these reforms have been in
stituted, when it is made certain that
every criminal, regardless of his in
fuence, wealth or station in life, will
receive at the hands of the courts
punishment swift and sure, and that
no legal technicalities or mawkish
sentiment can save him from it, then
and not until then will lynching and
| resort to mob violence for the pun
ishment of crime cease.
