The General will shortly begin
his eavassof the First District
and seems to apprehend little pos
sibility of Mr. Skinner's defeat,
though he apparently doubts the
wisdom of placing so much inipor-
lance on the result of that election.
He thinks that the District is safe- -
ly Democratic, anyway, and taking
into consideration the fact that the
party has a large majority in the j
next House of Iiepresentativ(!s,
and that the place Mr. Skinnjw
will probably fill was to have been
occupied by a Republican, it ap

"Aunt Maggie," in a communi
cation to the Winston "Sentinel,"
on Tatent Outsides says that the
business is not altogether monop
olized by newspapers. Nearly ev
erything one meets with nowadays
wears a patent outside.
Jay Gould might be termed a
patent outside. The newspapers
say that he prayed once by the
wayside when he was poor and
needy. There is no record ol his
having prayed since he became a
millionaire. I guess if there is any
occasion for him to communicate
with Heaven now, its done by. tele
graph. Praying is the pastime of
a poor man. A man who gets two
dollars a second for his time, can't
afford to waste much of it in pray
ing. I wonder what he prayed for
that day. If it was for money, cer
tainly no prayer was ever more ef
fectually answered. I guess the
experience of Jay Gould will be
calculated to give a boom to reli
gion, and no doubt many are pray
ing to-day who never prayed before.
Most praying is too much on the
patent outside order. It can be
fixed np in nice language thrown
out to the hearers with feeling, aud
pathos, but just turn to the inside
of the praying machine, and the
print is all blurred up there is an
overpowering redundancy of adjec
tives and adverbs there is a silly
nothingness and we are drifting
away from religion 111 consequence

inside with growlers, who find fault
with everything and every body

has to bear all moods is earnestly

An Appeal.
At the recent Comnienceinent of
Trinity College, the Trustees and
the Alumni Association resolved
to erect in its Campus a monument
to perpetuate the name and mem
ory of its founder and builder, the
lamented Braxton Craven, D. D.,
LL.I)., and to this end a committee,
representing both the Association
and the Trustees, was appointed to
issue an appeal to the old students
of the College and to the f riends
generally of the illustrious Craven,
throughoat this and other states,
to aid in the work. It is the de
sire of the Committee to go hearti
ly and at once to work and to have
the monument ready for unveiling
at the next annual Commencement,
in June, 1884. They think they
have but to otter the thousands
who were under the tutorage of"
Dr. Craven and who love and re
vere his memory an opportunity to
contribute their votive offerings to
so noble a purpose, in order to meet
a ready and generous response, and
they are alike confident that th&
are thousands of others also who
need only the opportunity to show
their appreciation of this great and
good man, who gave his life and
labors to rear and make complete
a great institution of Iearniug, and
also died a martyr to the cause for
which he had lived and labored.
The monument is to cost not less
than .3,00t), and by instructions of
the committee all money subscribed
to aid in this work should beforward

Danville, Va., November - 3.
Col. W. E. Sims, candidate for
State Senate from this district,
made an opening speech. Having
advertised beforehand that he
would answer the circular afore,
said, a tremendous crowd attend
ed, comprising nearly a thousand
negroes and several hundred white
men among' whom were signers
of the circular. lie read the cir
cular by paragraphs, ridiculed and
contradicted the correctness of
each, and then read the names of
the signers, ridiculing each, one
separately anil finally pro
nouncing them jointly and
severally, liars, scoundrels ami
cowards.. No iMtre bitter and de
nunciatory speech has ever been
delivered in Virginia. It greatly
inflamed and excited tile negroes,
but no violence was done.
This afternoon a mass meeting"
of the Democrats was held at the
Opera House, which passed resolu
tions denouncing Colonel Sims'
speech as incendiary anil inllania
tory, calculated, and -they believed,
intended to incite to riot and blood
shed, and congratulating the con
servative people of the town, that
notwithstanding such provocation
they had refrained from violence.
Another resolution endorsed the
circular iu question as substantial
ly true, the. coalition judge and
Mayor to the contrary notwith
standing. These resolutions were
issued by those present, to the
number of about six hundred.
A STREET AFHFAY.
I Meantime the street in front of
ijind adjacent to the building was
thronged by a tremendous crowd
of negroes just released fioin work
iu the factories for their usual Sat
urday half holiday. Some of these
negroes, partly intoxicated, jeered
at some of the whites as they pas-
sod into the building. A young
white man, Charles F. Noel, pass
ing up the street about a . block
above the Opera House, with a
companion, encountered two negro
men, one of whOin trod on his toes
Noel stopped, and the negro im
mlititelv aoolo'rized. "That's all
right, then," said Noel. The ne
to's companion, who was consid
erably intoxicated, s'aid, "Spose it
ain't all right, what are you goin
to do about it ?" at the same tune
ilfowiliir il 111! dol. Noel and hi
companion were unarmed and
went on but presently returned
Noel armed with a whip and his
companion with a pistol. A quai
rel endued between Noel and the
negro, whose name is liens Lawson,
who had drawn the pistol and now
of. ..v- x'lu.l with his list. .Noel
thereupon struck the negro with
the butt of the whip and punished
him quite severely. Meantime a
ivnr, crowd of neiri'oes had gath
ered around the scene and attempt
ed-to interfere, but wtsre kept bad
bv Noel's companion with a pistol
in his hand. Presently an athlet
ic negro in the crowd attempted to
smitch the nistol from his hand.
He failed to do this, but in the
struggle the white man was thrown
into the gutter, still retaining the
pistol.
FIRING VPON TITE NEGRO.
The negio t hen ran oil', but the
white man rising fired his pistol at
him as he ran, but without effect.
At the pistol shot the negroes gen
ally scampered in every direction.
Noel and his companion then went
on their way, as did also the negro
whom Noel had punished. For at
least ten minutes thereafter quie
tude was maintained, though a
number of white men coining from
the mass meeting collected around
the scene of the fislit. A large
crowtl of negroes also again gath
ered there, fhey being in the road
and the whites on the sidewalk.
The excitement of both races be
came intense, and several of the
negroes displayed pistols and
dared the'white men to come on.
FATAL SHOOTING.
' Immediately a pistol shot was
fired, some say by a white niuu aiid
others by a negro,; and thereupon
instantly ensued a fusilade of pis
tol shooting, in which about one
liuudred shots were fired. The ne
groes again scampered in every di-
rection and in less than two inin-
utesthe streets were clear of them,
The whites continued to hold their
ground, and scores of other white
men appeared in the streets armed
with shotguns aud pistols. These
natroled the streets, but did no

The most intense feeling, prevails

had been received to relieve their
anxiety. ' s"
Lynchburg, Va., November ".
Intense excitement prevailed here
on the reception of the news from
Danville of the riot and bloodshed
there. The telegraph . offices are
besieged, and the general sent inieiit
was that the row Was the outgrowth
of Coalition misrule. Many regrets
were expressed that the miscreants
who had been inciting the negroes
were not the sufferers instead of
their deluded follo-vers. The ne

over the reports of the, affair, but
no trouble is -'apprehended from
them.
ApPIied Common Sense -
E. S. Youinans, Esf., says: A
fanner the other day was advocat
ing protection, and insisting if we
had more of it farmers would be
more prosperous. ' I ventured to
ask him if some generous merchant
with whom he had traded the past
year, should present him with a
suit of clothes would he the fann
er) be. any poorer thereby .' Of
course he said "No." It he bought
the clothes at half the. price at
which they, were marked would
that make him poorer than to pay
the full price!? Airi'in '-No": If
he paid twice-. as much for, the
goods as -the" were worth, would
he then be -poorer I 'Yes-'' And
the man who .got double. 'price fer
the-goods richer? "Yes-" It re
quired hut a few words to -show
that farmer that protection . was in
tended to do that very tiling: that
if it did not, it fails of it's object.
The manufacturer asks protection,
so that he can sell his goods for a
larger p:c: The farmer buys the
goods. He i here fore pays 'he in
