But we baae our proteat on the higher xrounda of public morality; aa eitlxens Interested in Ue moral of our community; aa mea lntereeted in the moral environment of our children: but first aad foremost, as mlniatera of the rorpel of purity, snd in a certain eease Ue coaaervatora of Ue morals of our community. We dare not longer remain alien t. but are constrained thua to voice our proteat againat thla fountain of Im morality. We protest because the car at rale of tbe past, not only bare but elsewhere, hare been powerfully pro- ocatlve of tbe Inrtdloua rice or gam bits x. Bo brazen haa been the effront ery and ao iosldlous Ue devieee of theae xmbllng schemes, Uat Uey have aim oat invariably eluded for a lime, aad aome times entirely, tbe vig il An ce of our officers of the law. No more laaldloua vice can be found. It poisons Ue mind; it paralyzes indus try; Ule the fruitful mother of crime. Because or taia taint or gamming, we proteat againat Ula carnival. We proteat because of the flagrant Indecency of many of Ue shows Uat follow theee earnlrala.. In both pre ceding carnivals, Ue gentlemen hav ing their coming in cnarge nave been assured beforehand of Ue absolute harmlessaeaa of Ue attractions; and In both cases if memory eervee na right, there have beea ahowa so vile in Ueir aaked indecency Uat Ue local mana gers have been forced to order Uem closed or changed. . And after thla had been la aome measure remedied, many were still utterly unfit for the young aad the pure to attend. Into theae 8 laces Ue young are going, if here. n Ueir young hearts Ue ell me of in decency will bo deposited. Its Influ ence will never leave them. Can wo aa parent, can we as dtizena, can we as lovers of morality, can we as men, eee thla go on and not raise our voices against itl .We protest because of Ue looseness and misrule Uat Ue carnlral night brings. Packed in an indiscriminate war oa our atreets are all kiad and conditions of people. Here are pure, aweet modeet ' maiden r, jostled and crowded by Ue Til est denizens of the places of rice and men utterly without character. The ordinary restraint of courtesy, and In some measure of mod esty seem laid aside Usn auch scenes fall to brush the sweet down of mod esty from Ue cheeka of our maldenat Thla modesty, Ule unaullied woman hood baa been tbe pride or our eoutn land.

To discuss the unanimity or direralty of opinion would not be proper here nor there inasmuch aa a jury of the defendant's peers la to pass upon his guilt or in nocence at the proper time when sworn. evidence : will be submitted on both sides. The question of counsel each party to .the affair would employ and , the line of-, defence which jrould pro blyjc-rfilfcd nnoiywere interesting phases of Ue quesBbaf ar dleae6rye terday. Friends of -Bland Ue night previously held a meeting and a sum was raised to ice that -perfect justice ia done, no more no? less, and to see that the prosecution ia just a ably xepre seated by counael aa Ue defendant, who la a maa-of some means. Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy was approached by those friends of Ue dead man who are interested in his case , and alao by Terry, but he positively declined to appear on either aide, owing to his professional relatione with both men. Herbert Mcdammy, Esq., waa alao aought by. both aides, Terry having sent for him twice from the jail. Yes ferday afternoon Mr. McClammy sent a note to Terry positively declining to appear for the defence. He has not yet decided whether he will appear for the prosecution, but it ia known that very atrong pressure ia being brought to bsar upon him to do ao. It ia also aald that an effort will be made to secure the services with him of either CoL T. M. Argo or James H. Pou, of Raleigh; Col. N. A. McLean, of Lum berton, or Capt R. B. Glenn, of Win ston. Outalde counael may alao be employed by Mr. Terry, who thua far haa retained only Measrv. Bellamy & Bellamy. Aa Autopsy Performed. Ia order to remove all possibility of doubt as to the cause of death and nature of the wound an autopsy was performed upon the body of Bland yeeterday morning at the request of hie relatirea and friends through the Board of County Commissioners. The autopsy was by Coroner Bell and Dr. W. D. McMillan, assisted by Drs. Joe. Akerman, W. E. Storm, E. J. Wood and Harllee Bellamy. It was disclosed that the ball entered his left breast, went through the aorta, pene trated the right lung, broke 'the sixth rib on the right side and lost itaelf In the thick tissues of the back. The phyaidana decided that tbe bullet was the direct cause of death, and that either the wound through the aorta or the lung would have been fatal. Faaeral Yesterday Afternoon. The autopsy yesterday morning ne cessitated the postponement of Ue fu neral until 4 o'clock yeeterday after noon. The services were by Rev. Dr. A. D. McClure snd were from the late residence. No. 717 North Fourth street, where a large number of tbe dead man's relative and frienda were ' in attendance, including officers and members of Clarendon LodgeNo. 2, K. of P., of which Mr. Bland was a member. Tbe interment was Jn thf. lot of Stonewall. Clarendon and Ger mania lodgea K. of P., in Oakdald cemetery. The burial waa with Py-I Ulan honors. Prelate Chas. B. Krlner conducting the ceremony. The pall bearers were Messrs. J. D. Nutt, J. F. Littleton, Walter Thomas, Sol. Sternberger, O. R. Krlner and Cspt W. P. Oldhsm. Terry f till in Jail. The defendant Terry still remains in j all. He had two callers yesterday, but not departing from the usual prison ruler, Jailor Capps would ad mit neither of them. One of the num ber was Mr. Will Terry, of Raleigh, who arrived Ue night aftr the tragedy. and tbe other was Mr. Isaiah West, who was seated on the church steps across from which Terry went to meet the man he killed. Mr. Will. Terry, t ia aaid, later received an order from Ueaherlff and went Into the jail to talk with his. father. The defendant Terry has his meals sent to him from his home, but has eaten scarcely any thing since he was confined. In its story of the tragedy yesterday morning it was stated, quoting . Ue exact language, "that on the night be fore the tragedy Bland and Terry had a quarrel back of George Heyer's atore.' At the request of Mr. Heyer, probable misconstruction of the word "back" la here corrected to mean not in Mr. Heyer's atore or on his premises. The quarrel aald to hafe taken place was on 'the aldewalk and Mr. Heyer's atore had no connection with it whatever. ' Real Caase of the Trafedy? While It is generally conceded Uat Bland's alleged ill treatment of hi wife, Terry'a daughter, was the seat of the trouble betweea the men for years past, Ue relations between Ue two were embittered to the point of killing by a recent effort on the part of Bland to sell some property, the deed, of course, requiring Ue signa ture of Mrs. Bland. . Mr. Terry, It ap pears, objected to the sale and' used aome very violent language : toward his son In-law la tbe presence of Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy, who assisted In con summating the. sale; as counsel for Bland and his wife, despite the objec tion of Mr. Terry.: The language used WHOLE NO, 11,269 TflE A. DAVID COfflPAHY.

Bland is said to have replied to Mr. Bellamy's warning that he had heard the same before and was pre pared for any attack. What were Ue merits of the controversy between the two men as to the sale of the land, no one can attempt to discuss until both sides are heard. "REAPING THE HARVEST."
