TELEGRAPH-THE WORLD TOUCH.

There was made plain in Raleigh yesterday.
and in many other places in this country also,
the great place which the telegraph and tele-
Shut off yesterday from the rest Of the world
of commission the people of Raleigh felt their
dependence upon the wires.
Both the telegraph companies were shut off
from outside service, while the telephone service
was confined to some few stations in the homes
and business houses and Offices in this city. The
ability to give to the public this morning 3
news service from the world is lacking because
there are no telegraph wires in commission, this
being likewise the case with the telephone
companies.
Raleigh had strictly to depend on Raleigh
yesterday in the making of news. Some few let
tiers came through to this paper, but the Asso-
ciated Press service, and the special corre-
spondent service were missing. Shut Off from
the rest Of the world by the snow, all that can
be done is to wait and hope that conditions will
soon be in a better shape.
But Raleigh will be short today on the news
of the great outside world. The ticking of the
telegraph instruments have been silenced for
awhile by reason Of the snowstorm. the tele-
call for them to let us talk, and learn what the
big world is doing. Yet we can be just as happy
and take time to reflect upon the olden days
when the people of this country had no means
of quick communication such as we have now
and hold ourselves in patience for the morrow
when conditions are expected to be improved.

THIS CASTER DAY.

Christ is Risen indeed. It is the fact or the
Resurrection on which Christianity is maze
strong. That Christ came from the tomb brings
the message to us that there will be a resurrec-
ton day for all of us. And this day we celebrate
the Easter which says to US that Christ has
risen.
Christ died for us, died that we might be
saved. He arose from the grave and having
assembled sitteth on the right hand OF God Al
mighty where he intercedes for us, where he
pleads for us to the Father. In every heart
there should be on this Easter day a song OF
rejoicing that Christ is indeed risen and mas
gone to prepare a place for us.
From out the sepulchre where He had been
laid there came on the first day Of the week
hat Christ in whom is the hope of the world.
That first Easter morn made that nope g
reality. From that day the world has gone on
learning the great truths which it taught, that
there is d resurrection, for it was made mani
fest to mankind when the crucifed Christ came
from out the sepulchre.
Let this be a day of rejoicing in all hearts
that "He is Risen" Let the comforting words
uttered at the tomb find their true meaning in
our lives. May we so live that when time to us
is no more we may have the very spirit Of all
casters in us, and be with Him who assembled
and who sitteth on the right hand Of the Father.

Yesterday afternoon the News and Observer
had as it's guest the Raleigh Times, for the
snow-blizzard had put out Of commission the
Carolina Power and Light Company plants. this
making it impossible for the Times to be printed
in its own establishment. A warm welcome w4S
given the Times in this office, where the ~
membrance Of the courtesies extended the News
and Observer when in 1913 it was driven FROM
its home by fire will never be forgotten.
It was possible for this paper to make it -
that the Times could be printed yesterday al"
ternoon. for the News and Observer has an
emergency electric power making plant OF ire
own, a plant put in to meet all occasions when
the Carolina Power and Light Company fails to
furnish power. The News and Observer itself
could not have been issued on Saturday morh-
ing and this morning but for its emerSency
plant, this having been put into service during
Friday night when the Carolina Power ana
Light Company was put out of business ~ th7
fierce snow storm.
The Raleigh Times was given the most cor
oaal OF welcomes. It is gratifying 70 this paper
that 1t was able to be Of service to its afternoon
contemporary for it can never be unmindIUi

WORST IN IFS HISTORY.

SO far as is shown by the records, SO far as
the memory of man hereaboutS can tell, Raleigh
yesterday was in the grip Of the worst snow
storm in it's history.
The destruction to property, especially the
property of telegraph and telephone and cleo
tric companies was exceedingly great. The
streets Of the city were bestreWn with the no,es
of these and with the limbs of trees. The s1rae+s
themselves in many sections of the civ ).
rendered impossible by reason of the tano1aa
mass of wires, and the slush of the snow while
the failure of the service Of the Carolina poua-
and Light Company made it impossible to ono
ate the street cars. And Raleigh was left ,areo,r
in darkness last night, electric lights heins -,
possible.

FORMER GOVERNOR SLATON
SHOCKED AND HORRIFIED

San Francisco, Aug. 17.-Former
Governor John NJ. Slaton, of Georgia,
who committed the sentence of Leo
M. Frank, and who is here visiting
the exposition, was informed this
morning that Frank had been Iynched.
"The act was a consummate out
rage" said Mr.. Slaton, "and every
man engaged in the lynching should
be hanged for he is an assassin. Such
an act is contrary to the civilization
of Georgia and one which every good
citizen will condemn.
81 could use no language too con-
demnatory. l believe the governor
of Georgia will use all the power of
the state to punish the malefactors
who disgraced the civilization of
Georgia.
Their act was one of cowardice,
which belongs alone to the assassin.
'1 am shocked and Mortified beyond
expression. Any man who approves
of this action of this mob murderers
is unworthy to be Georgian. Any
man or newspaper which condones
this offense ought to be driven out of
the state. But the conduct of this
miserable mob of assassins is the con-
duct of the same sort of people who
shoot people from behind a fence or
murder woman from a eowardly
heart"

a night guard, came forward, but he
was Immediately covered and ordered
to throw up his hands. Half way up
the steps I was halted while half a
dozen men rushed by me and made
a dash for Franks room. One Of the
prisoners who witnessed this scene
declared that four men seized Frank
by his arms and legs, while fifth
grabbed him by the hair and he was
dragged out and bumped down the
stone steps. With me looking on,
Frank never uttered word, but APP
parently he was suffering intensely
and groaned from pain inflicted in
handling him in his wounded condi-
ton. The affair was completed within
five minutes it seemed to me.
During the entire performance !
was handcuffed and under guard.
When the crowd brought Frank down
and started off, l asked the fellow
who had snapped the handouts to I'M
lock them, but he laughed sardonical-
ly and said if / would accompany
them they would take off the irons.
"The whole procedure was timed
as a we'll ordered and methodical
proposition and only few words were
spoken. That evidently was agreed
upon. A leader did all the talking.
Only two of the men were masked
but did not recognize any of them.
Just as they started off the leader
said now boys for the swamp then in
less time than it takes to tell it.
they were off and I could see the
lights flashing as they went over the
hill towards Meriwether."

taking company, within a block of
their morgue. 1t soon was discov-
cred and thousands tried to enter the
stables. Then the body was placed
in public view in the morgue. The
crowd seemed merely DESTROYS of as
surfing themselves that it really was
Franks body. No attempt at VIC
lence was made At nightfall the
doors of the morgue were locked anc
the police formed a Gordon around
the building.

sion, was here last night when the
mob of twenty-five men removed Leo
M. Frank from the dormitory of the
