STOP THIS LYJNCII CRAZE.
It is truly sad and humiliating
to the lovers of law and order
that there is an. element in our
county that have lost their heads
and have become crazed on the
subject of lynching.
When little more than a year
ago, the most revolting and hor
rible crime that can mark the
history of a civilized people was
promptly avenged, the best of
citizens approved, or at least did
not denounce the retributive act,
though a violation of statute
law. But it was not that our peo
ple were willing to discard the
wise and cautious processes of
the courts by which to protect
the innocent, and punish
the guilty, and thus to turn
the fates of men over to the pas
sionate ravings of mobs that
have never studied the conse
quences of their indiscretion, r
The effort of Sunday night to
get out the two negroes arrested
for the nrtirder of Policeman
Kerns and' hang them without a
court trial was very far beyond
justification. We pity the
women the children and the de
crepit, whose safety rests in the
hands of men so swayed by pas
sion, an utter want of cool reason.
Whatever of safety our commu
nity enjoys is to the credit of
citizens alive to the terrible
danger ana lolly 01 such mobs,
and to men who will bare their
breasts to any danger to arrest
this craze in our community.
All honor to Sheriff Peck and
Mayor Means and the courageous
citizens that cheerfully obeyed
their summonses and gallantly
drove back from the jad the men
that would have put three stains
of murder on our county in place
of one.
We hope, we pray that the ax
ium, "murder will out," will be
demonstrated and that the guilty
ones will, by regular process of
law, be hanged to death on the
same gallows, but the crime of
striking Sheriff3 Peck and Esq.
Coble is crime only in less degree
and calls" for ferreting out and
as does this deplorable murder.
This is the second effort at
lynching that has been foiled in
our town within a few months,
either of which would have been
a great crime and an outrage
against the sturdy class of men
and women who stand for all that
is noble and good. -- ....
- It is easy to see that if this
mania ... is allowed to spread no
man's life will be safe. There are
always accusers enough and in
correct impressions enough that
fanned by the heated breath of a
mob, will make any man's life
unsafe. The very men them
selves'may fall victims to the
storm they are creating!
It is hone too soon for men
who tank up their stomachs, and
fire theirbrains, so as to stifle
reason, to be taught some prac
tical lessons that larw, and order
is going to be guarded at tef rible
hazzards and that they will find
themselves within the clutches
of the law. This lynch craze
must subside, , for the decree
goes forth from a great majority
of the good men and women in our
land. It must not be unheeded
by those impulsive characters
that foster and iritate the very
weaknesses in human nature that
begets the crime over which we
now mourn.
SYMPATHETIC SORROW'S TRIBUTE.
Every heart in our community
with the touch of human sym
pathy goes out in pity and con
dolence toward the unfortunate
wife, the widowed mother and
the orphan child of Policeman
Kerns. It is a display of that
inscrutable exercise of infinite
goodness and omnipotent power
that permits the execution of
wicked designs and makes a test
of our faith that He does and will
overrule all for good.
. It is sad, it is distressing that
one in the faithful discharge of
his duty In keeping order that
others may sleep in peace and
safety, should be cut down with
out even loving ministrations and
parting words. .But such are the
results of wickedness and cruelty
in the world.
No wonder that the thoughtful
shudder when they see men
starting on the road to crime of
all degrees and kinds with drink
to rob the brain of reason and
profanity to cultivate in the
heart the, passions of cruelty,
hate and violence.
It seems so hard that the faith
ful, on whom, to all human ap
pearonce, so much depends,
should fall before those that,
like the thistle and the nettle,
seem here only for evil and dis
comfort. Words are inadequate, it is but
the silent emotions of the cul
tured being that speaks, as by
magic, from soul to soul the sym
pathetic sorrow poured upon this
bereaved family.
There's something convenient
about our system of finances that
certain money 's circulate at cer
tain seasons. Silver dollars at
this time of year are shipped by
tons to the South for distribution
in the cotton markets. Fifty
thousand of these dollars were
deposited in the subtreasury at
New York on the 28th, ult., to be
drawn out at New Orleans for
use in the State of Texas.
4 .The Evening: News, of Char-
lotte, is an expansionist, pure
and simple. Some eighteen
months ago it enlarged to eight
pages and now it has expanded
from a five-column to a six-column
eight-pager. The News is
little short of an imperialist, too,
and prides itself on the widest
domains of all the evening dailies
in the . State. It's needless to
say that the News has our con
gratulations and a measure of our
envy for the support to make it
an expansonist

A MOTHER TELLS HO W SHE
SAVED DAUGHTERS LIFE.
I am the mother of eight child
ren and have had a great deal of
experience with medicines. Last
summer my little daughter had
the dysentery m its worst form.
We thought she would die. I
tried everything I could think of.
I saw by an advertisement in our
paper that Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
was highly recommended and
sent arid got a bottle at once. It
proved to be one of the very best
medicines we ever had m the
house. It saved my little daught
er's life. I am anxious for every
mother to know what an excellent
raediciie it is. Had I known it at
first it would have saved me a
great deal of anxietv and my
little daughter much guffering.

Is the laundry hard on your goods ?
Some are. Examine your goods as
carefully when you send tjhem to us as
when you receive them back asrain and
you will . find that we sew up many a
rip, mend many a button hole, put new
neck bands on shirts not too badly
worn (when requested), and in many
ways try to prolong the use of your
linen. One trial is not a test. Often
damage has been done in previous
laundering and we get the blame. Give
us your steady patronage and we will
guarantee your linen to last longer than
when done at many other laundries.
