The record made by black fiends in Little Rock, Ark., five assaults in twenty-four hours stands unparall- leled in southern history. The brutes are not deterred by the rope nor th torch. But there is some consolation in the hope that the swiftest retribu tion will follow the apprehension of the devils. PERMANENT CLEANLINESS. When Yellow Jack threatened Nor folk so seriously, a general scouring up of the city was ordered and filthy alleys and back lots were cleaned out and the city puiged of its disease breeding filth, in the fear that the dread malady would secure a foothold. All of which was so pleasing to the Landmark that that excellent paper publishes a strong editorial urging that the inchoate cleanliness be made permanent, thus affording the most secure bulwark against diseases of all kinds that have their birth in un- healthful environments. We repro duce the Landmarks editorial in full, whose warning other towns than Nor folk would do well to heed: If it is possible to bring the city to such a condition of cleanliness as has been attained very recently by reason of the yellow fever scare, why is it not possible to clinch the advantage and me lue cunumon oi cleanliness a permanent one? Not only is it possi ble to do this, but there are still many improvements to make in the direction of proper sanitation. A town should never allow itself to backslide in the matter of cleanlines. Every inch of progress made should be lasting, and the constant effort should be to go farther forward. Of course, it requires a somewhat larger street force and a somewhat greater appropriation of funds for street-cleaning to keep a city neat than i uw w iet it go dirty, it costs at the time a little more to buy a broom than it would to leave your floors un swept. But every man of sense knows that the ultimate result of this current outiay for cleanliness is a substantial gain to the treasury of the city and to the pocket of the householder. It is eventually more costly to let the dirt alone than it is to sweep it away. Anything that has to be done under great pressure and without due notice is more than normally expensive, and There is a ray of hope shining for France. Hope hasn't yet fled. The report is given out that the acquittal of Captain Dreyfus would cause a good many general officers of the French army to commit suicide By all means let the accused be acquit ted. Nothing would be so salutary to the French affairs, we opine, as this threatened "disaster." If there is any truth in the report that Secretary Root is going to try to get on without personal or political influence in distributing important army positions, there is good reason to believe that "the new army" will be vastly more successful than the bat talions led by disappointed office seekers and incompetent favorites, which are at present making such a poor showing against Aguinaldo's legions. ONE HURLED TO DEATH. While Four Others Almost Miracu lously Escape the Same Fate. Greenville, N. C, August 16 An accident happened here this morning that cost one man his life and gave four others an almost miraculous es- cape. For some davs workmen have been ounaing a new draw to the county bridge that spans Tar river here. They tested the draw this morning, running forward and backward, then closed it across the arch, then they discovered that the swinging end hung a few i-ches too low to rest on the op posite abutment. Capt. J. T Smith, who had charge of the work, took fbur colored hands with him and went on the swine-ine- part of the draw to tighten the iron suspension rods in order to raise the end to a sufficient height. While tightening these rods they parted, leavi T1& A frPA-fc st.rain rrt trio fivVM, m - J l o w-. vul. blLU uci a so it is far cheaper for a city to main- which broke the draw in two.

The men were thrown fn'.o water fif teen feet deep, and two say they struck Dot torn. Four of them were rescued and iound to be uninjured. One colored workman, John Worsley, wnose home address on the "Proces du Since then he has acted js juniorcoun sel in hsrtf a dozen notable cases in which his work gained the approba tion of the masters of law. He took the part of Captain Dreyfus at the outset and offered his services for the defense and was promptly retained, his achievements astonished his eld ers, for he gained advantages in the couri that others had failed to attain. Labori was engaged by the famous novelist Zula as his counsel, aud it was largely due to his efforts at the trials of the "Dickens of France" that revision of the Drejfu; case was forced upon the government. He is of tall, slim figure, with fair complexion and beard, a dignified bearing and a voice described as "harsh and sounding," and of the most penetrating quality. In 1894 he pleaded for Yalliant the anarchist who threw a bomb into the chamber of deputies and while the young counsel condemned an archy, his address made a profound impression on the jury. In the first Zola trial the manner in which he took advantage of the mistake of the prosecution in deciding to try to keep the Dreyfus case out of the proceed ings was said to be "a marvel to the bench and bar." When attackel he was quick and fe rocious as a lion with his defense. For example, during the Zola trial Labori was hooted at one stage of the proceedings and greeted with all sorts of disrespectful cries. Facing the rep resentativ. s of the Paris mob there in the very ttmpleof justice, his eloquence and sincerety finally got the better of the ironical cries and wh'stles. "It is not we," he exclaimed, "who have flung into this trial affirmations which wont bear examination. They have been brought in here by gener. is wno come dai.y to plead the cause of ihe general staff, and who rely on the brilliancy of their stripes and decora tions for arguments." The president of the court sharply said to him: "If you continue in this unseemly tone I shall prevent you from speaking." "Those who are unseemly," retort ed Labori to the court, 'are the per sons who by their demonstrations here are wanting in respect for justice." Later during the same trial Labori referred to the plot that had been laid j against both Dreyfus and Z .la in these words: "This terrible edifice resting on our shou'.ders is an edifice raised by falsehood and hypocrisy on the part of the strong. But let them not forget, if my words reach them, that the name in history which is brandod in the pillory as the most ex ecrated is that of Pontius Pilate." This daring and eloquent passage called forth in the court such a brt of app.ause as had not hitherto b-;en heard in honor either of counsjl or of any officer. Labori is also well known amor literary people, and has founded a Is It Right for an Editor to Recom mend Patent Medicines ? r From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard N. C. It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the vari ous proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet as a preventive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain' Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known aud used this remedy in our family for tw ntv years and have always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physi cian is awaited.
