Officers Shoot Young Man.
Winston-Salem, April 90

Winston-Salem, April 20.-It
was learned here tonight that
James lilly, Jr., a wor' bless sort
of character Ct Kernersville, was
shot Saturday by w. H. Perdew
and Special Officer Perry and
probably mortally wounded. Til
ly is still alive, but there is little
hope of his recovery. James lilly,
ST., was struck in the head with a
club by a policeman or his deputy,
but is not seriously wounded.
According to the information
received here James lilly, ST.,
was near the depot at Kerners-
vile acting in a disorderly man
ner when Policeman Perdew ar
rested him and started with him
to the calaboose. While en- route
thlther lilly became very unruly
and the officer struck him with
his billy. A young son of lilly
was standing nearby and he ran
home and told his older brother,
James lilly, Jr., aged about 80
years, that the policeman had
killed his father. This enraged
young lilly and be grabbed a shot
gun and ran to the scene. He
threw the gun in the officers face
and would have fired had he not
been shot himself before he could
pull the trigger. Young lilly was
shot twice, once by Policeman
Perlew and once by Mr.. Perry,
whom the officer deputized to as
sist him in carrying the disorder.

Being aLaw Unto Oneself.

Respect for law is the greatest
need of to-day. The head of a great
corporation should be compelled to
respect the law that protects the
property of the corporation. The
anarchy of capital breeding lawless-
ness, should no more be tolerated
than the anarchy of labor, breeding
riot and disorder. Men should be
taught that the unjustihable killing
of a human being is murder, whether
it be done by one as an individual or
as part of a mob OF a thousand.
The dramshop.keeper should be
made to realize that the law govern.
ing his dramshop is just as sacred as
the law that protects him in the en-
joyment OF his property. fit were
left to each man to say what laws
he will obey and what laws he will
not obey, there would be no binding
laws at all. The trust magnate

Some Good Advice.

Foolish spending is the father O
poverty. Do not be ashamed Of
hard work. Work for the best
salary or wages you can get, but
work for half price rather than be
idle. Be your own master, aud dc
not let society or fashion swallow
you acknowledgement, coat and
Loots. Do not eat up or wear out
all you can earn. Compel your sci
fish body to spare Something for
profits saved. BE stingy to YOU
appetites, but merciful to others
necessities. Help Others, and ask nc
help for yourself See that you are
proud. too! Let that pride be of The
right kind. Be too proud to be lazy
too proud to give up without con
quering every difficulty; too proud
to wear a coat you cannot afford te
buy; too proud to be in company
that you can not keep up with ii
expense; too proud to be stingy.

INTERESTING information comes
from New York to the effect that the
fight is to be made against Bryan, is

chairman of the New York Demo
cratic Committee, and and Charles

negotiations with a view to Undue.
ing a number of New York bankers
and capitalists to serve as delegates
to Denver. 1t is their purpose to
have the New York and Pennsylva.
MIA delegations go uninstrncted, and
they hope around this nucleus to at,
tract the delegates from Minnesota,
who will be for Johnson, those from
Delaware, who will be for Grey, and
those from Maryland, whom they
also hope to capture for Grey. Thus
with group of 226 anti bryan del
egates, they hope to secure control
of the convention. The democratic
leaders in Washington, however
say the scheme will not work, for
while they may be able to prevent
the nomination Of Mr.. Bryan on the
first ballot, they will never be able
to transfer these delegations to any
other candidate.

1.-The Plea of the Clinging Vine. .

We are well disposed toward fe-
male suffrage, perhaps not so much
for the sake Of the thing itself as be-
cause of the hoary arguments that
are brought against it.
Man is not sturdy oak. He is
scrub rooted in sandy soil, some
what worm-eaten, in peril from
every high wind. Nor is woman
clinging vine except those who are
also blockheads. Home is not the
woman's sole and proper sphere.
One female in seven, of all ages, at
the last census, was engaged in
gainful occupation. There we're
twenty-four million females above
the age OF twenty, and five and
quarter million were earning liveli-
hood or trying to.
Here, if woman's business is to
cling, is a problem in reforesting,
more startling and vital than any
yet propounded by Mr.. Pichot.
Where are the oaks for these vines?
1t is a fair assumption that they
have failed as clingers only as a cor
responding male has failed as cling
ee.
The POLITICAL and economic organ
ization under which FIVE million
women work for living is excluive-
ly a male creation. 1t seems to us
reasonable that, in proportion as
women have to make a livelihood,
they are entitled to have say about
the general conditions under which
livelihoods are made.
We are impervious to any fear
that voting would coarsen women
and rob them of that virgin delicacy
which is their chief charm. Many,
many thousands of them we pack
daily in street cars, subways and ell
evated trains, where they are bump
ed, trampled and squeezed by strange
men. BY the hundred thousand
they work in stores, offices and mills
where their experience must be at
least as sophisticated as any that
would come to them from walking
to polling place once a year.
1t is undoubtedly true that the
great majority of women do not
wish to vote; but they wouldn't have
to.-Saturday Evening Post:

What We Hear.

Take heed what We hear" as to
slanderous reports and insinuations.
There is a vast amount of defama
ton in the world. Perhaps we have
all suffered more or less by it, hence
one would think we might he pre-
pared to estimate it at its real value.
But notwithstanding our own ex-
perience in regard to its evils. how
prone we are to listen to what evil
tongues may say of our neighbors.
Though jealous enough for our own
reputation, we seem to have but lit
tie concern for that of others. We
should remember that we have no
more right to hear what evil tongues
may say, than evil tongues have to
say what they ought not. We could
not give the tongue of Islander a more
pointed and successful rebuke than
to refuse to listen to it. If we are
watchful of our ears, others would
be constrained to bride their
tongues. If all men were deaf and
blind, there would be no SANDER, be-
cause there would be none to hear
or read it, and the unruly member
would oil necessity be kept in order.
But now there are hearers and read
ers, and hence the tongue and pen
must be guarded. Idle words are
often tie cause of inestimable mis-
chief. A good name is rather to be
chosen than riches. But the tongue
of Islander may rob us OF our good
name and leave us poor, indeed.
What havoc has been made of the
peace and happiness of individuals,
of, families, CT neighborhoods, by
an evil tongue.
What were but trifes swelling in
to Importance by repetition, and
thus difficulties which a single word
might have explained and healed, in
crease in magnitude and at last be-
come incurable The tongue will be
evil while the heart is wrong for out
of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh. The best remedy
Tor an evil tongue is a new heart,
but as even the best of us are INSANE
tilted in part, we must adopt such a
remedy as will meet the evil from
whatever source it may come; and
this is the remedy; Take head what
We hear. We must refuse to listen TO
what the evil tongue says. Listen
ing to Islander is so nearly related to
Islander itself that, If we give place
to the one, we are likely to be injected
with the other. The listener is par
taker with the speaker; therefore, at
all times, now and ever, take heed
what ye hear-don't hear every
thing and don't repeat everything
you hear.

Fire Experience Of Harrison.

Harrison's fires the past twelve
years have been no more in number
than any other place proportionate-
ly, the difference, however, lies in the
fact that each fire means total de-
struetion to the property endauger-
ed, and often the adjoining proper
ty, As a matter of fact only one
building has been saved after the fire
attained a point beyond one bucket
of water The list following shows
fires and losses:

The loss above is for buildings
only; contents would easily bring
the total up to $50, 900, less than
half of .-I;c,
- o. When IS replaced by insur-
ance. During the period city owner
ership OF water system was voted
and enjoined; three franchises were
offered and practically refused by
city authorities, and the fourth, car
rying more privileges and city con-
tracts than the combined three pre-
viously offered, was passed, and its
owner forfeited it finally. Either the
original improvement district idea
should be tried over, or reasonable
franchise given to a capable party.
Under the depressed market, mater
ial for water and sewer systems can
be had for at most, 60 per cent OF
former prices, labor in proportion.
Bonds of an improvement district
system can be marketed without de-
lay, notwithstanding the fact that
not one in ten of the city ownership
plants are a success from any stand
point; the bond buyer knows that
under the Improvement district plan
every foot of real estate in the city
stands behind the bonds; regardless
of whether the plant wins or loses,
his money is safe. Under franchise
ownership with bonds covering the
plant only, he loses if the plant pegs
out. Let us get busy and do some
thing. $4,000 will put in a mod
ern and complete water and sewer

PROBABLY never before in the
course Of his administration has the
President been confronted with a
measure which so strongly calls for
a veto, as pension bill which has
been slipped through both houses Of
Congress, and which, if approved,
will cost the nation upwards OF
S15,000,000 a year. This measure
grants a pension to every widow OF
every soldier who served ninety
days or more in the Civil War. Prac-
tically all the deserving widows have
already been provided for under ex-
listing law, but this measure will add
to the rolls a great number of unde-
serving cases, which congress has
not hitherto had the courage to
pension.

In more ways than one there is a
parallel between the case of Gen.
Stoessel of Russia and the Admiral
Byng of the British navy who was
sentenced by court martial in 1857
for iucapacity and not having done
his full duty in the action with the
French feet off Minorca. Byng was
evidently sacrificed to turn the peo-
pies attention. away from the
wretched condition. of the English
feet and of naval supplies, and
Stoessel just as evidently is sacrificed
to hide the misdeeds and corruption
of the military authorities of Russia.
The court martial which SENTENCED
Byng to death recommended mercy,
but none was shown him. The Rus
sian court martial has brought in
an exactly similar sentence upon
Stoessel. And mercy was sho wn him
him by the Cazar.
