F. F. Fag an. From the excitement which prevailed on our streets Ss.turday night after the fight, one would have thought a murder had just been committed, when really only two men bad had a dilneulty, one lick was passed, aud no one w as seriously hurt, and we do not believe e ther one of the men were very mad or even intended to create a disturb ance. The best people ot our town, both white and colored, in fact all the people, should be more conservative. On Tuesday night about 8:30 o'clock the quietude of the town was broken by the rattle of the drums calling the Koanoke Riflemen together. The call was unexpect ed, but in less than twenty minutes about twenty -five of the boys were in the Armory, had donned their uniforms, buckled on their aumnition belts and stood with guns in hand ready tor the order to march, to Cuba or any otheff place where their services might be needed. Their prompt action on this occasion is an evidence that their Country or their State can depend on them at any time. The rumors of war does not daunt them--they are ready.

About 1 o'clock Saturday' after noon the alarm of fire was given and a stampede was niado for the scene, which proved to be the store of Mr. W. J. IIodges, ou Water street. The fire originated in the roof and had gaiued considerable headway be fore discovered, but in a few seconds the engine had a stream playing on the building and a bucket brigade was running, and in a short time the fire was extinguished, not, however, before the roof had been nearly bur ned off. The stock was badly damaged by water, but both house aud stock was insured, the former belonging to Mr. D. O. Brinkley, the latter to Mr. Hodges.

That .this, town needs better pro tection against fire is acknowledged by all, but how shall the protection be obtained is a question for debate. It is true that Water street has all the water supply necessary, and tjie hand engine doe3 good work, but where is the protection for the resi dent part of the town ? Only hand pumps funish water, and in case of lire they are of little good. This town has been building up so rapidly of late years that the dan ger from fires has greatly increased. Buildings are being jammed close together. In view of this fact it is important that some protection should be given. It has been -suggested by a citizen, that a sufficient supply of hose be purchased to reach any part of the town, and that a steam pump be placed at the foot of Washington street, such pump hav ing capacity sufficient to force the water from the river to any part of the town. This citizen backs his suggestion with a subscription to that end. The cost of such protection would be pretty heavy, no doubt, but it would bo money well invested, for as it now is one fire could destroy property to many times the cost of such protection. Let our people discuss this matter and take some action. To Cube Constipation Fokevkr. Take Cascarets Candy Cathartic. 10c. or 25c. If O. C.

Night had dropped her sable curtain Softly down upon the world; And the breeze played with a banner, 'Twas the "otars and Stripes" unfurled. As they floated, free and fearless. From our gallant, good ship, Maine, While the sailors slept, not dreaming, They should never wake again. For their doom came swift as lightning, None could help them, none could save; Spanish treaohery, low and direful Sent them to a watery grave. t Shame upon the base-born cowards, Thus to Judas-iike betray, While they made a feint of friendship Planned they death for us each day. Sons of freedom, hear the wailing From the many saddened hearts ; Let our murdered dead claim vengeance, Houor lives ; and fear departs. Shout defiance to the traitors; Crush to death the power called Spain, Thus we may avenge our heroes, Those who perished with the ''Maine.' Sallie Hartman Jeffries, Durham, N. C , Feb. 27, 18'J8.
