The WEEKLY ARGUS.

The WEEKLY ARGUS goes to its
many readers to-day in new form,
printed from one of the largest and
best newspaper presses in the State,
which has recently been installed in
this office at great cost, and is to be
supplemented soon by the most mod
ern type-setting machine in service,
that will render the ARGUS office the
most completely equippedIin the South,
and will enable the editor to give to
his patrons a paper every week that
is up to his desire and that they can
rely upoo to give them all the news
fit for their families to read.
Of course all these Improvements
come at great expense to us, and we,
therefore, earnestly appeal-here and
now-to every reader Of the ARGUS
who owes us to send us a check, post
office money order, or cash, or call in
person and pay us.
This is a reasonable request. We
have been most indulgent with those
in Arrears. 1t is but just to us-and
to yourselves that you come in now
or send-and settle your account. Do
not delay. The ARGUS is widening
and extending its territory of circu-
lation: 1t has rounded TWENTY-oNE
years of continuous growth andheroic
adherence to its high standards. Its
course in these TWENTY-ONE YEARS
shall be its pledge to the people of it's
answering policy for the future.
We go forward.

officer early became convinced that
forgeries and false accusations were
all that stood against Captain Drey-
fus in the courtmartial. Count Ester
hazy was perhaps the chief villain in
the plot, but there were many others,
including General MERCER, then at
the head of the army.
1t was not until the past week that
the French courts had thejustice and
the irmness needful to grant the ac-
cused a full and complete v~indicaticn.
This vindication in the courts was
speedily followed in Parliament by
laws making Dreyfus chief ola squad
ron OF artillery and brave Picquart
a brigadier general. The vote on the
Dreyfus matter in the Chamber of
Deputies was 437 yeas and AZ nays,
and on the Picquart matter only 27
nays were recorded. The votesin the
Senate were equally emphatic. Tt is
said that Dreyfus is to be nominated
to the Legion OF Honor, one OF the
highest marks of esteem that can
come to Frenchmen.
This closes the incident, and it is
closed right. It could not be closed
in any other way, fora wrong simply
rankles to break out anew. Grosser
injustice was perhaps never done to
an army officer, and it is strange that
twelve long years were permitted to
elapse before the known v~illainy
of the Rennes cOurtmartial was un-
done. Some time had to elapse in
order to let a misguided and unjust
public sentiment correctitself, butthe
injustice should not have been pro-
longed twelve years. Twelve months
would have been a more reasonable
term of waiting.

Herring for Clerk.
Editor ARGUS:

Editor ARGUS:
If Mr.. I. F. Ormond, the present
excellent Incumbent, were to allow
his name to go before the county
convention for denomination for Clerk
of the Superior Court, Mr. Editor, he
would get it by acclamation.-Don't
you think SO?
Why?
Because he has made a most eff
cient officer, and efficiency in Office
is what the public want.
Who would make the next most
efficient Clerk?
Is not Mr.. Chas. T. Herring the
most capable nan to take hold of the
Office and give the public what they
most desire and decentralization
service?
This being true, it is the part OF
wisdom to nominate the man who
would the more readily take hold OF
the Office and go on with the public
business without hitch, delay or in
experience; that man is Chas. F.
Herring.
Let's nominate him.-Democrat.

While I have not seen any card

I am sure Mr.. James M. HolloWell

his name before the Convention, and
ask for his denomination to the

In DARKEST RUSSIA.

The expected certainly happened
when Vice Admiral ChoukniD, COM
mander of the Black sea fleet, was
shot down by a man in ambush. He
represented tyranaic, bureaucratic
Russia, and his cruelties knew no
bounds 1t was his oppressive acts
and the hatred felt towareds him by
the sailors that led to the historic
revolt on the Kniaz Potempkin in
June and July of last year, and the
surprise is that he has been permit
ted to live a year. In February last
a woman attempted to kill him, and
he ordered her be killed ON the spot.
His orderlies brutality carried out the
sentence in the courtyard. He did
not wait to ascertain whether she
was sane CT insane-he gave her no
chance to present her defense. He
falls now as she fell last February.
The entire affair, together with the
idiotic trials of Rojestvensky and his
fellow officers, show how peculiarly
Russia is made up. 1t is at the best
a backward country--one full of
conflicting elements-one in which
revolution is constantly repening.
The country is large and the people
unorganized, but the movement now
begun cannot go backward, and it
will be strange indeed if the Roman
offs cone out of it with a shred of
power TT riches. The longer the
popular movement is extended, the
more thorough will its work be at
the end. The hope, however, is that
the gleat change in the unhappy
land will be accomplished without
the loss Ut many more lives. One by
one the +houknins in it are falling,
and every student of the situation
sees but one possible outcome-the
participation of the people in the
government, and it is strange that
the e., eeror, or rather his advisers,
do not =: what all others see.

A spECIAhTERM.
For the Trial OF the Five Gillespie
Negroes. July The Thirtieih is
is Named by Governor
Glenn for the Cases
to be Tried.

Salisbury, n. c., July 16-Gover-
nor Glenn this afternoon authorized
a special term OF Rowan Superior
Court for the trial of the five Gille-
spie negroes, who are now in Neck
lenburg Jail charged with numbering
four members of the Lyerly family
near Salisbury, early Saturday morn
ing. July 80 was named as the date
for the trial. The calling of a special
term has quieted the lynching spirit
in this section of the State.
Verdict of Coroner's Jury.
Salisbury, N. c., July 16-Late
Saturday night Coroner Dorset held
an inquest over the remains Of the
four victims Of the family of Isaac
Lyerly, who were murdered near
this city early yesterday morning.
The verdict reached was that Isaac
Lyerly, Mrs. Augusta Lyerly, and
two Of their children, John and
Alice, were murdered by blows OF
the head from an axe in the hands
of Nease Gillespie, John Gillespie,
Jack Dillingham;, and his wife,
George Erwin and Henry Lee.
simultaneously with the verdict
came a full confession of the terrible
crime by Henry Gillespie and the
seven negroes above named, all OF
whom were tenants oh the Lyerly
farm. Henry was at the scene of the
murder all day and mingled in the
crowd until night, when he became
frightened and confessed. He told
how the plot was laid, the house
entered while all its occupants were
asleep, and that Nease Gillespie and
his son murdered Mr.. Lyerly and
his wife and John Lyerly and with
the same axe crushed the skull OF
Alice, who died twelve hours later.
Gillespie also confessed to firing the
bed upon which the dead bodies
were left, and told where the deadly
axe was left. In each case the death
blow was made while the victim
was asleep.
All of the negroes implicated
we're arrested and jailed here.
The four murdered victims were
buried together this afternoon al
Unity, Rowan county, the funeral Of
all being held at that place.

here Sunday of apoplexy. after an ILL
ness of many months. He was born

Deschapelles Chess club in Boston. His
first notable victory was in match
with John F. Barry. Of Boston, in 1891.
In 1898 he Won the New York city
tournament. and in 1895 won first
prize at the Hastings tournament
against many Of the strongest players
in the world. This victory logically
made him one Of the quartette of the
then most famous players named TO
compete at St. rsburg-Lasker,
Steinitz. Tchigorin and Pillsbury. His
score with the world champion, Las
ker. was 4 to y In 1897 Pillsbury
won from Showalter the American
chess tournaments, and was prize
winner in all except at Cambridge
Springs. Pa. in 1904. when he was Ill.
Pillsbury showed his chess genius not
alone by match and tournament play.
At blindfold chess it is said his record
has never been equaled. At Moscow
he played twenty-five games without
sight of the boards, and at Philadel-
phia twenty games, which feat he re-
Deated at Vienna.
