this afternoon steps were taken to notify
the negro residents of the suburban dis

body ot troops here now. II was the idea
Of the military authorities that more cf-

ger spots restricted as much as possible.
Another factor In this connection was
the large number OF warnings of impend-
ing trouble. At all tho principal stations
word was received that attacks were or
sanizing and that tonight would see a
supreme test between the mob and the
troops.
Several nearby villages and hamlets
complained OF tho existence Of 'hrcntcn-
Ing conditions. the most insistent being
from Chatham. ~ miles south. The ne
rroes there asked that troops be sent.
Their spokesman wns told that the best

Political scheming is excusable
so long as there is no crooked
work. but when a few try to gain
their ends illegally, then it is
time to call a halt. The Tribune
had been fighting several politi-
clans before the primary, but
we have forgotten that-our man
was beaten and we have no kick
coming. What we have said
about the county organization is
a different matter. No Republi
can believes in sitting quietly and
seeing men gain their ends by
voting proxies they never had

might be called). The Repubh-
can voters of Bates county do
not approve of these methods in
