Alleged LynChers Cheered.

Last night was homecoming
night with the many Ansonians
who attended the trial of the al
legged Arson county lynchers of
John V. johnson at Monroe, that
began Monday morning. There
were eager crowds at the stations
between Monroe and Wadesbo1o
to cheer the alleged lynchers as
they passed through. They were
also greeted by a large crowd on
their return home The Arson
county people were kindly receiv-
ed by the Monroe people and
there were many remarks made
concerning their hospitality by
the ''boys'' on the train last even
ing. Several Monroe men offered
to go on the bonds of the alleged
lynchers, but the men who &C

We have no gall to pour on the
heads of members of labor unions.
No honest man will deny that
men have the right to join such
organizations, and we believe the
respectable honest men in the
unions respect the opinions of
those who differ with them The
unions, we believe, do some things
that are discreditable and wrong,
among them the using of the boy
cot and the strike. The printers
throughout the United States were
boasting last year that they had
eight hours labor for sale, eight
hours TO sleep, and eight hours to
do with as they pleased. No OBJ
lection can be raised to what dis
position they make of their time.
If they could receive a days pay
for one hours work, no one should
blame them. But the trouble
arises in the finding of the man
who can employ men on such a
basis and stay in business, The
employing printers knew that they
could not grant the request and
therefore have since been con-
Quoting their businesses as they
saw fit, and consequently the eight
hour strike is now but a memory.
Recently the president and v;c~-
president of the International I y
biographical Union made over
lures to the United T%ypotheta" Of
America for a conference bu1 the
Typothetae answered that they
had nothing on which to c fer.
Of course, if the strike had pF ven

Solicitor Hammer spent sever

Solicitor Hammer spent sever
al days here last week making
very commendable efforts to getall
possible information concerning
the Lverly murder and to ascer-
tain the real Identity of the brutes
who committed the crime. This
is very commendah!e and is a
splendid example of the diligence
and the promptness that should
follow all similar outrages. But
while the officers of the law are
to be highly commended in this
case, the lack Of effort to bring to
Justice the man who shot Herbert
Shoe at the depot Saturday night
a week ago, is to the same extent
to be condemned. This mau was
deliberately shot and lies, proba-
bly,, mortally wounded and yet
there does not seem to be the least
effort, OF desire, to bring the man
who committed this outrage to
justice. Is it true an officer of
the law did the shooting? And is
this the cause for the lack of eff
fort to make all arrest? Has it
got to the point that men are to
be shot down for trivial offences
and the law refuses to take no.
tice of such events? If the local
authorities refuse to act it may
be necessary to call on the Cow
ernor. Delay should not be toll
Grated in this case any more than
another. This ls the kind of
business that breeds lynching,

BURTON GETS RESPITE.
Former Kansas Senator asks the Supreme
Court for Rehearing.

Ex-senator Joseph R. Burton,
of Kansas, today availed himself
of the. last legal recourse inter.
vening to save HIM from serving
six months imprisonment in Jail
and the payment of a 50, 500 fine
when his petition for a rehearing
was filed in the United States Su-
preme Court.
Burton's attorneys con t
that the court should have sus-
tanned the argument that the
statute under which he was con-
victed is unconstitutional. The
other points raised are that the
question Of admission or rejec-
ton of certain evidence was not
considered: that certain letters
submitted by the postofice de-
partment should not have been
read: that Inspector Cochran, of
the Post Office Department, ought
not to have been permitted to say
that he gave certain information
to Senator Burton. bearing on the
complaints against the Rialto
Grain Company because he was
a Senator of the United States.
and that certain other matters
should have been excluded from
the Observation-Disclosures dis
patch.

We notice the town Aldermen
have borrowed q sum of money,
we understand $5O,O0O, secured
by personal signatures, and that
contracts for street improvements
are to be let, or have been let, on
the strength of same. Now every
body knows this is an improper
method of raising funds, and that
the city fathers have no right to
incur such an Indebtedness, but
it is done confident that the boss
will be able to have the next legis-
lature to legalize the transaction.
Are the good people going to stand
for such usurpation Of their
rights? This remains to be seen.

The striking of a. man who
wears the cloth of a minister at
any time aud under any circum-
stances is certainly to be con-
demned in no uncerta II way, but
should a minister provoke some
one ignorant of his calling to
strike him, the matter stands out
in al entirely different light, and
in such aD event the minister owes
the apology and the fine, and,
should a man, who is thus provok-
ed, be fined, that minister could
not do a nobler thing that pay
that fine and publicly assume his
proper position in the matter.
THE WATCHMAN does not assume
to lecture any one, but it is of the
opinion that some min S t g r s
would be more successful if they
would follow their preaching a
little closer.

1t was moved to reconsider and the
question laid on the table for week.
Before moving reconsideration,
however, the board approved the min
utes of the previous meeting at which
the license had been granted. 1t is
chiefly on this approval that Schmess
will base his claims to the court, If
the city insists on taking it up, that his
license was granted.
At the meeting of the commission
Tuesday evening a large number of
persons who had signed the protest pre-
sented at the previous meeting were
present to voice their sentiments
against granting the license and the
board felt it could do nothing but deny
the application. This denial was made
after the commission had already
granted the license and approved the
grant, making assurance doubly sure
according to Mr.. Schmess' attorneys.
This case is almost repetition Of
the Niemeyer affair, which involved the
police commission short time ago
and which Mr.. Niemeyer took to the
courts, defeating the city.

Protests

William N. Schmess, who wants to
conduct a wholesale liquor establish

was denied the privilege by the police
commission Tuesday evening, will de-
mand his license and open the place in
spite of the ruling of the police board.
He claims he was granted the license
and able attorneys agree with him.
When SchmesS made his application
for a wholesale license the application
was surreptitiously referred to the
chief of police for report instead of
coming before the commission as new
business, as is usually the case.
When it was first presented to the
commission in open session 1t was ac-
companied by a full report from the
chief of police. AS this report was IA
vorable the commission granted the ap-
plication without discussion.
At the next meeting of the board a
long protest, signed by hundreds of
residents of the Vernon district was
presented, and, acting on this protest,
