THE TOO READY PISTOL.
Another illustration of the ; too
ready pistol was furnished in the
town of liberty, Bedford county, Va.,
Saturday; E. A. Jeter, a prominent
and much esteemed business " man
being shot and instantly killed by a
young man named Terry'n o&
Gen. W," E Terry, superintendent of
the State penitentiary, lit seems that
xerry nad given Jeter a puppy wntch
Jeter named after Terry's sister.
Meeting Terry on the street Saturday
Jeter asked him jocularly why be
did not come to see his kinsfolk,
meaning the dog, which Terry con
strued as a reflection on .his .sister,"
drew his pistol and shot Jeter 'dead.
It is said the young man has for some
time shown signs of insanity, and
doubtless in this case emotional in
sanity will be-the plea'oflfered 4in de
fence ot the shooting, it he be not
lynched in the meantime. On the 3rd
of March young Martin, on a railroad
train near, Charlottesville, in .that
State, shot: young Garrington to
deaih as the iesult of p.' trifling! dis
puU. fin neither of these cases Would
life have been taken had it not been
for the too ready hip pocket accom
panment which now forms an appar
ently indispensable part of the ward robe
outfit . of , the average young
American, precisely how many
lives annually this ' habit - costs it is
not easy to say,' but it is safe to .. say
that the majority and a very large
majority of the homicide! ; that are
committed are to be attributed to it.
In the quick impulse of hot blood,
frequently made hotter, as in tbe
case of young Martin, by . indulgence
in fighting whiskey, the hand flies to
the pistol pocket to resent an-- imagi
nary insult, and if the aggre8sor,and
aggrieved be both armed, ''a duel
comes on in which one or. both fall,
perhaps'fatally. i Xeithecjthought of
shooting ten minutes before, neither
had murder in his heart when the
weapon was drawn, but shot simply
because they,, foBo wing a prevalent
custom; thought they were taking a
high toned way of settling a personal'
"dispute'.. And so it goes. Men are shot
down every day in the week some
where, some good tmen who "were
useful in the world, others perhaps
not so, but still too good to be sent in
this summary manner into the press
ence of their Creator, and yet nearly;
ever State, ; perhaps ; every one
in this Union, has laws against car
rying deadly weapons, while there is
not one of them in which the law is
enforced as it should be. Millions of
pistols' are annually ' made, sold ' and
worn, but it rarely occurs i that the
wearer is held to , accountability for
it. ' The public opinion that upholds
the carrying of such weapons in vio
lation . of law, j and the officers who
neglect their duty in not 'enforcing'
the law as they should, are quite as
much responsible for the lives that
arethuB lost as the impetuous, quick-
blooded man who draws,levels, shoots
and brings down his victim before he
comprehends the full reality of what
he is doing, i ;:.; 1 :
There are times perhaps when it
may be necessary for a man to go
armed, when night prowlers with
robbing propensities become too nu
jnerous for the police, as they some
times do in the larger cities, or when
the spirit of riot ' is abroad, ' and
personal danger imminent, or when
life is threatened by"' some one" who
has the reputation of holding life
cheap, but these are exceptional cases
and but seldom occur. Generally the
a verage pistol carrier has about as
much for it as the naked savage in
the jungles: of Africa has for the lat
est fashion pubUUjnoa .what : to
wear. Carried to the extent- it ' ik if
the habit did not so frequently lead
to tragedies, it would be ridiculous.
As it is, it is too serio is to be laughed

This much being established it ?is
apparent that tbe supply of cotton
between now and the incoming of the
new crop will at no time be large and
that with any revival in trade it will
be inadequate for the requirements of
the : world, unless spinners takings
shou'd be checked by the usual result
of H;iht supply, an advance in price.!
The position of cotton both in price,
and supply is exceptionally favorable;

v Were general business in a normal
or usual condition, . cotton, with its
position so strong, as shown above
would naturally ne hie-her. But vari
ous causes have prevented it' freim
reeling tne mnuence 01 its own excep
tional situation. Chief among these
causes, and the one. dating farthest
back, has been the long felt and much
harped upon dullness in trade!.
Hardly secondary to this in its effect
upon prices has for some monthB
past been the fear that England was
about to become involved in war with
Russia.; Happily,; ,this great war
cloud that threatened Europe, Has
blown over: and signs of improving
trade are daily becoming more- ap
parent. Only yesterday 20,000 pack
ages of cotton goods the greatest
number ever offered at a 'single sale
were sold at public auction in New
York at highly satisfactory prices. ! ;
. With returning activity in manu
factured goods, with peace seemingly
assured, and with cotton standing
again on its own merits, the outlook
for planters and merchants is more
cheerful than it lias been for many
months. ."-
y, Latest - Accounts from the East
Jndiacrop are to the effect that it
is backward. In some districts the
yield is -turning out disappointingly
small, . in . others it is .only, threef
fdurths of last year's, and in others
again it is reported as . being very
short. The shortage is likely to in
crease as the season advances. ?
At the opening of the planting sea
son in our own country the ground
was in an unusually fine Condition,
owing to tlie hard frosts of the past
winter ; Planting was satisfactorily :
completed, .. w ithout decided increase
in the acreage devoted to cotton, and
the growing crop, though late, has
up to this time progressed favorably. .
But no prediction as to the ultimate
out turn of a cotton crop can be made
at this early. dato. ; . , ,

Uem. Shrrmae Shows Wherein Urant

.. HimselU .
Cui reepw;eacet)f the Montreal Gazette.
- The four greatest generals produced
by the great civil war on the national
side were Grant, McPherson, Shorn
man and bbertdan. One of the most
pleasant memories of American his
tories is and will forever be that be
tween these four gmat commanders
tnere was never the shadow of leal
ously or envy. It is the highest honor
that Urant ever received from", men's
judgment , Or admiration that these
three able captains all willingly and
always looKed up to mm as their su
perior. McPherson fell in battle be
fore the splendor of his abilities could
attract the world's attention, but in
nis deatn urant, as he declared, lost
one of the greatest - perhaps the very
greatest of his lieutenants. Sheri
dan, as in right of. his Irish blood,
had the fiercest spirit in battle; Sher
man, the greatest invention in coun
cil, while McPherson could fight with
the one and plan with the other, but
mey au aamittea Decause iney Knew
anu felt, that the silent grayseyed
man" was greater -than they.
''Why," I asked General Sherman
once, "did you and Sheridan always
acknowledge Grant to be your lead
er f" . "Because." he responded in his
quick, idiomatic manner, "while I
could map out a dozen plans for a
campaign, every one of which Sher
idan would Swear he could fight out
to victory, neither he nor I could tell
which of the plans was the best one;
but Grant, who simply sat and listen
ed and smoked while we had been
talking over the maps, would at the
end of our talking tell us which was
the best plan and in a dozen or two
words the reason of his decision, and
then it would all be so clear 0 us that
he was right that Sheridan and I
would look at each other and wonder
why we hadn't seen the advantage of
it ourselves.
i "I tell you," he - continued, after a
moment's pause, ''Grant is not appre
ciated yet. The critics of Europe
are too ignorant of American geogra-
Ehv to appreciate the conditions of
is campaigns. What is it to march
an "army from Berlin to Paris ? Look
at the shortness of the distance.
Look at the - facilities of transporta
tion. Consider how many times the
same ground has' been fought over
by successive commanders 1 Is not
every point of vantage known? What
commander can blunder where all
the conditions, lie open to his eye ?
But I have seen Grant plan campaigns
for half a million of troops along a
front line twenty-five hundred miles
in length and send them marching to
their objective points through sec
tions where the surveyor's chain was
never drawn and where the commis
sariat necessities alone would have
broken down any transportation sys
tern of Europe, and three months
later I have seen those three armies
standing where he said they should
be what he planned aad accomplish
dd. And I give it as my military
opinion that General Grant is the
greatest commander of modern times,
and with him only three others can
stand Napoleon, : Wellington and
Moltke."
THE 20th OF MAY.
Another Gun aa 10 Dates "Spiked.'
- New Berne, N. C, May 15, '85.-
To the Editor of In Obsebveb. - -,
; Some time ago I Baw, in a Charlotte
paper, a distressingly long commu
nioation, in which the writer com
batted the assertion made by some
body that the 20th of Mav. 1775. fell
on a Sunday, and that, consequently;
the people . of Mecklenburg county
could not then have been attending
court to-pass, tne celebrated resolu
tions. In my legal reading I have
come across the following, which 1
think settles the date as being a Tues '
day, which day of court was then,"
as it is yet in many counties, the day
on which the largest crowd aesem-
bles. In tne second volume of Smith s
Leading Cases, a work of the highest
authority and found in every well
appointed law library, at page 433,
in tne celebrated Dutcness or King
ston's case, you will find the follow
ing entry, verbatim et literatim:
; '-Die Sabbati, 20 Aprilis, 1775. , ;
"Ordered by the ; Lords Spiritual
and Temporal, in Parlimant assem
bled, that the Lord ' Chief Justice of
Court, ,of Common Pleas be and is
hereby desired to favor this House
with, a copy of his. argument . upon
the Questions proposed to the iudees
by this House yesterday."; ;
Now, if you will refer to the calen
dar of last year, 1884, you will find
that April 20th fell on a 'Sunday, and
that May 2()in fell on a Tuesday, just
as it did in the year 1775. It may
strike you with surprise that Parliat
ment sat on a Sunday, but a hundred
years since they seemed to think "the
better the day the better, the deed
and you will find in the Reports of
Vesey, Jrl, Vol. I, page 385, that "the
Court of Rolls formerly sat on Sun
day." So, I think, this Bpikes an
other gun. .Respectfully,- , y.
