D eputy Sheriff Oaks of "Wake county shot and mortally wounded Jake Jones a young negro man who was resisting arrest in Raleigh Monday. Berry Cook,', a. negro. man, was arrested in Wake county Saturday and placed in jail charged with murdering a negro woman named Rosa Morgan by choking her to death. One of the greatest strikes ever known in this country started Monday among the coal miners of Ohio, Indiana, Illi nois, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. More than 200,000 miners laid down their picks and refused to work unless the nrice for dicririnir coal was X . OQJ raised. The tariff bill it was thought would reach a final vote Mon- , day but the amendment provid ing for a bounty of one-half a cent a pound on beet sugar has created a new phase and it will possibly not reach a vote in the Senate this week. The demo crats are opposing the bounty amendment and will do their utmost to defeat it. an article on another page of this issue from the New York Journal tells how protection protects. Many articles manu factured in this country are sold in foreign markets for much less than they are sold here at home, yet the manufacturer must be protected, while! the producer (farmer) is forced to sell his stuff in a market regulated by free trade countries.' Last Sunday in the edge of the town of Greensboro a negro man named Luke Richardson attempted a criminal assault up on a respectable young lady as she was returning from church . but her cries scared the fiend off. The citizens of the town were soon on his track and captured him and took him before the young lady who identified him. He was then taken to jail. Much excitement prevailed and lynching was feared. The Tom Watson faction of populists met in Nashville, Tenn., Monday for the purpose oi dethroning national chairman Butler and to take charge of the party and run it according to W atson's idea. Among the res olutions passed Monday was one that any populist who advo cated fusion, hereafter, shouk be forever ejected from the ranks of the party. It is'evi dent that there is war between Butler and Watson and the de velopments will be interesting to the political world. Ihe primar" campaign for the selection of a United States Senator to 'fill the unexpired term of Senator Jbarle, deceas ed, has opened in South Caro lina.- Senator McLaurin, who was appointed by Gov. Ellerbee, and ex-Senator Irby are rival candidates. Thev had their first meeting Monday at Sum ter and like nearly all political meetings in that State, hot words were passed and " much excitement created by the friends of the two factions. Mc Laurin seemed to have the crowdwith him at Sumter. 1 he amendment to the tariff bill offered by Senator Elkins of est- Virginia has the truly American ring to it and should be passed along with the ideas ; of the protection which the re publican party has. His amend ment was to make a difference in the tariff on imported arti i i i i . cii-5 urougni, in American ves sels and thereby protect Ameri can ship owners and encourage American shipping. The inter national laws and treaties may make the amendment invalid j but then they could give Amer ican shippers a bounty as they do Jhe sugar growers in Louis- iana, and thereby evade the in ternational law. Some stimu lant should be given to Ameri can shinnin from some snnm WHAT IS THE LAW?

Dear Mr. Editor :j In your account of the Bensorj meetings in your issue of June 123rd, it is made to' appear thatj on Tues day evening Evangelist Leavitt called for a few sentence pray ers ; that some ladies responded very briefly and that to this I raised objection, quoting Paul in justification of ray position. I do not charge anyone with misrepresenting the matter pur posely to you, but suppose your informant must not have been present at the meeting Tuesday evening. . There were no sen- tence prayers called for, no la dies responded, -no objection was offered bv me to their prayers and no argument offer ed by me against women preach- ing. The only correction; I wish to call attention to is, that the is sue of difference was not sen tence prayers responded to by ladies and that I did i not force anv issue. It is true that I could not endorse some things that had been said and done in the meeting, but I. had not said one word publicly or j privately to him in opposition. -I was quietly jtolerating without rais ing any disturbance. I " Through me as their pastor the Benson Baptist church had invited Evangelist Leavitt, of Wilmington, to hold a meeting at Benson. Being a Baptist we supposed he Jield our j views of doctrine and practice. Wiien learned that he . men's taking part in public mixed assemblies and held some K.v v-' -m- . i v views of doctrine somewhat stronger than I could ! endorse. Without discussing the merits of the points, I told him these- v;0,.c wa,,! Av&a Crvm fi,n.oi owoV fmm thJsure and evil speaking for, the meeting. Said he, -For the present, in order that we may A ' , "- save souis we wm . wave J these questions! about which we are disagreed and, without . sacrificing our views, we will work such lines as we can agree upon." Everything went along glori ously and the prospects were fQr a great revival, j Monday mnrninrr hnsinPfia on Pi mo home. On mv? return iTuesdav i j j morning, I learned that on add v V fo.

He took his seat and paused for . r , some one to renlv. As nnstnr . . X . . T 1 of the church under whose di- rection he came to labor, I felt it mv dutv to answer .What, should I sav? There was not I a niimient. for p.nnsiflprnrinn consultation with my brethren. I must say then and there that 1 did or did not endorse; the po sition, lhere were but two ways open to me that I could see: mrst, bacrihce your con science and say you endorse a tnmg when you do not: or Second, Be honest with God and the people and true! to' your convictions of truth, though all friends forsake" you and vou stand alone. Between these two questions it was no hard matter to choose as I praved to God for help and guidance-. I said kindly, "I cannot 'endorse '1' ""- s the position." 'Th en, said 1- i L t ne, -periiaps we can compro mise the matter y will you toler ate it, allow it?" 1 During this talk he save his reasons for his position, saying t int- t in nnhr on.

I never opposed the meeting and always advised those tvho could do so conscientiously to attend the meeting. During the week I proposed to Evange list Leavitt that we should alone talk and pray over the matter and try to get together ; but, for no fault of either of us, it was not until the following Tuesday that the way opened. At that meeting alone in the woods we talked freely with each other and decided that, without sacrificing . our posi tions. we would unite our ef forts for the unsaved. On tlie following t 0 mnrmncr when it was learned that his tent had been burned by some fiend, the deacons tendered him the use of theBaptist church, which was accepted. The meeting seemed to grow (in pow er, and, up to Friday morning at which time I Jiad to leave to fill my appointment,' we labored together the best we could1 for the salvation of souls.

West who has been writing items fronr-Mingo, replying to an article written by Mr. F. P. Jones as a reply to the state ment made in the Mingo items "that a justice of the peace in Sampson referred to a dictiona ry to decide a case." The arti cle would probably bring forth a reply and, as we do not care for a controversy between these tw;o gentlemen through the pa per, we refuse to pub lish it. In justice to Mr. West we will add that he says he meant no discourtesy to the court in making the statement and did not intend it as a sling at the' inteligence of the court but although it may haTe been perfectly proper it was never theless peculiar as it was not generally customary for justices of the peace to consult a dictiona ry to decide a casef We think we can nil our pa per with something more inter estinglo the public generally than controversies over small matters.
