woman inspector with 800 rounds Of
ammunition concealed under her dress.
All boxes, bales and bundles going

100 Year, Ago Today

NNE HUNDRED years ago today
one OF the busiest seaports on the
Atlantic coast was Salem. the
historic Massachusetts, city which a few
weeks ago was visited by a terrible
FIRE. During the war OF 1872 Salem was
the favOrite port for American pri-
vateers. Probably two-score Of these
predatory vessels hailed from Salem.
and, when the war was ended. few OF
the Inhabitants OF the little city were
unable to tell some tale OF personal
adventures, cruising against the enemy
In fact Salem had the honor Of receiv-
ing the first prize captured on the ocean
after the declaration OF war. Then the
whole town turned out to greet and
cheer the captOrs. But. long before the
war was ended. the appearance Of
prize in the harbor was such a common
occurrence that it created little excite
ment.

Night Riders


ISN'T it about time civilization should wipe
l out the last remnant of the ku kluX and
Night Riders, and clear the name Of the
South of the reproach attending their opera
tions? In the days of reconstruction there
was justification for certain local movements
to put down certain sorts of crime, but the
mob system grew into such an abuse that
private grudges more frequently than not
were the cause of disgraceful expeditions
Now the Night Riders are becoming active
again in Kentucky, in the neishborhood of
Bowling Green, and the decent citizens of
Butler County have asked for special grand
jury investigation. Under the guise Of
'possum hunters they are masking on the
road and whipping and killing their victims,
chiefly employees of mine operators who do
not employ union men. Night-riding used
20 stand for outraged public opinion where
the law failed; now it appsars to be the in
strument of thugs pure and simple.
The sooner night riding and mob rule gen
orally are swept out of the whole country,
without reference to section OF apparent
necessities of any sort, the sooner law and
order will make this country wholly safe for
people who wish to be good Americans UNI
disturbed.

All of the lines fronting on Petersburg and
Richmond have been remarkably peaceful for

large bodies OF Federal troops have for the past
twenty-fpur hours. or more been passing to the
belief that General Grant contemplates another

General Forrest phlclally reports as follows:
"My Tennessee River expedition has so far
resulted in u loss to the enemy Of four gum
boats of eishtl guns each, fourteen steamers,
seventeen barges and Immense quantities OF
quartermasters' stores found and burned on the
wharVes. The burning is still going ON
Northern papers report that Sherman has
burned Atlanta. There Is confirmation OF
the report here but quite likely it is true. 1t
sounds lust like Sherman.
There is no longer any doubt of the fact that

Brazil. The capture was made by the Federal
gunboat wachusett. and the thing was done
in violation of all the laws of neutrality.

TT may be imagined that the death of Field
i Marshal Earl Roberts, as the result OF an
illness which attacked him while he was on
journey to France to inspect the Indian
troops now on the firing line, was as nearly
as possible as that brave veteran would have
desired it. Perhaps he would have preferred
to fall at the head of an army, but the end
came, at any rate, while he was i'll the dis

understand It, remedy Is being proposed by
the Tax Commission that the land shall be
sold by court in regular way at a. fair
price. 7''
Why not go to the root of the matter and
ascertain why farm lands are being sold for
saNes at all? Is 1t not because these lands
VIII not produce enough TO pay the taxes? And
if the lands will not produce enough to pay
the taxes under any farming system hitherto
adopted on them, why not suggest some plan by
which the lands shall be made to produce. not
only enough to pay the taxes, but for the tollcr
and his family? II the State would take the
lands for taxes and sell them to actual workers
On such time and forms might be advisable
not only would the lands be removed from tho
already too large idle class or nonproductiye
land end become profitable to workers and TO
the State. @
But why taS industry and capital. anyway?
Surely there is nothing needed In Virginia more
than workers. and q few thousand dollars OF
capital would help considerably. AS II is, State
