The healing this morning be gnu at, 11 o'clock in the oiiice of Vwl Kiz"f, Superintenden t t trnittfi from up the Carolina Cen tral Railroad yesterday told of sensational disorders committed by two prominent young men from Atlanta, returning from Wrightsville 1 tench on the after noon train Thursday. One of the young men was said to hnvo been n son of Senator Cluv, of (ieorgia, and the other n son of u wealthy inerchunt of Atlanta, named Chamberlain. A large party of Atlanta and Winders, (hi., people had been at the beach since Sunday, and were occupying a special ear back ou the Carolina Central train Thurs day afternoon. The two voting mmi wote among the number nnd eutno U; fi ouv the bench tcetty well in liquor. Soon ufter the train left Wilmington, ('apt. W. It. Williams in charge, thoyouug men begun to make themselves offensive to n large number of ladies in the party and were re primanded by Cupt. Williams. One of them hud a bottle of li quor in one hand andj it is re ported, would proffer the other hand to u strange, lady whom ho would express u desire to meet. The other is reported to have had n murderous looking revolver, which he boasted, had done service in the Spunish American war. Cupt. Williams tried persua sive methods at first, und finally got the young men into a rear cur. There it seems they fell out with one another und a tight tn sued. Several of the large plate glass w indows in the parlor cur were broken ou. und other dep redutious commmitted. Cupt. Williams is not u man to stand buck on technicalities when such conduct is going on a board his train, and at Lum ber! on, lirst station- reached where there were officers with tho proper authority, ho had policemen to meet the train nnd the Atlanta spot tR were forcibly taken from the cars uud detain ed there until the train hud passed. Parties offered bail in any amount if the young men would be allowed to continue their hon.evurd journey, but these proffei s of friends were refused and the young men were detain ed ut Lumberton until yesterday morning, when it is reported they had sobered up and left quietly on the morning train. Cupt.' William was strongly commended by the largo num ber on the train for his notion. The young men were reported to huve amused themselves a part of the time by shooting at the ciiaudnliers ou the train and out the windows at objects being passed. There is need of more men in public life like Hubert X. Cage nnd Archibald Johnson. As ('ongresKiiiuii and editor, they occupy useful and responsible positions in the public eye. The eenernl public regards thv work of n Congressman as the highest, but many are coming to see that the edttorof u widely circulated tiewspnpci that, stands for tin? right holds n position no less useful or honorub'e than the of fice of Uovernor or Senator. Such an editor is Mr. Archibald Johnson- He has not taken much public part in politics. Too many men of his type take a buck seat und let office-seekers occupy the front seats, just as too many business men of the type of Mr. Page refrain from holding the public office when the truointeiest of the public de mands more business men in of ficial position. liut we did not start out to speak about the duty of the edi tor uud the business tnun, but to call attention to the model speech made by Mr. Johnson when he placed Mr. Pago in nom nutiou for Congress. It is not like any other nominating speech you ever read, and is in n class to itself, and Lecause it is so good we make room in full for it below. Mr. Johnson said: "Mr. Chairman, und gentlemen of the Convention: "My pKasant duty eun be per formed in n very few minutes.

This geutleruen, is no small thing to be truthfully spoken of a tnun in, public life. The time was where purity ot a mans private lhe did not count for so much us it docs today. It was believed tnat only tne luiuiic recoru , or a servant of the people came right fully into the purview of public gaze, but of late years popular sentiment has uudergone won derful changes. It is now held that a man's public and private life can nob be separated; that they are one und the sauir, and that is the business of the pub lic to demand that they whom they intrust with power shall be clean. The moral leper cannot be the strong and forceful factor in the life of the State that he could and would be if his hands und lips and life were clean. A stain on tho private life of a pub lic man weakens ins moral pow er which ufter nil is his real strength.

The first part of the bituary notice of a citizen had been dumped in the forms nnd the next handful of type came off of a galley deseribing a recent fire. It read like this: "The pallbearers lowered the bo dy to the grave and as it was consigned to the flame there were few if any regrets, for the old wreck had been an eyesore to the town for years.
