The remarkable thing about the sit nation U that nftonly is both skilled and unskilled labor aearw, but there u a W k of men U till position of trust and iilace that require nuuiag ing ability. Right here in Mnn the Uiing that most prevent new and small but profitable enterprise from springing up faster is that there are no capable men to manage them. Capital could be had fi r many small industries if there were promoters in whose managing ability people had confidence. Not only is this true in manufacturing, but it is also true m the mercantile business. With the accumulation of capital the nunilier of places here men of character and ability are needed increase daily. Heretofore capital has been employ ed in the South under the supervi sion of the men who owned it Its increase has Urn so rapid that the time has come when more managers are needed. The production of men has not kept up with this demand.' and today this is the one tlung that I most cripples our dev elo ment.

He was lilt tin a Hible c!as. academy on Saturday Lax Views Among W hites as Crime Anionic Negroes. to made by the city editor of the Char- uuie I'oserver, in reporting a municr among the negroes: "Coroner W, A. Cirvsham, w ith the following jurors, held an inquest over the remains of Calvin Simmons, the negro who was shot to death at Moses' Sanctuary church, in lierry hill township, Friday night; Messrs. S. C. Ross, W. ().' Johnson, C. It. Flournov, Joe Thornley, James H. I,. Phillips ami J. II. Hatch. The ver dict, after abundance of evidence, was fo this effect, that the deceased came to his death by knife and pistol wounds made by Dave and Joe Alex ander, respectively. The sheriff was ordered to hold the slavers without bail. "The evidence in this case devcl ojied the fact that the killing of Sim mons was after the up-to date negro fashion. Mecklenburg county has had more than one hundred' such murders among the colored popula tion. The negro becomes offended over a trivial matter and draws his weapon with the lixed purpose of dealing out death to a fellow man. Very few murderers of this sort have suffered the full penalty of the law in tins county. So long as a w hite man is not concerned, the authorities, as well as the people, fail to become interested in the bloody deeds If Iteve and Joe Alexander are good field hands some reputable white man will beg for mercy, when they are tried, and ask the court to make the sentence light. This has been the rule heretofore, and there is no reason to hoi for a change. The law-abiding citizen does not think enough about the negro murderer so long as the victims are of his own race. If the testimony heard yester day proves to be correct, Joe Alex wider is guilty of willful and pre meditated murder, and his brother Dave is an accessory in the crime. It looks like dastardly murder. These negro rows and shooting scrapes come too quick on the heels of each other, and if they continue, white persons may suffer. There came near being a double homicide at Salem colored church Sunday a week ago Yi ithin a week followed the lierryhill affair. There is no telling where the next win occur. Wind tiger liquor lurnisnes the fuel for the outbursts of brutal passion, and the rural com munities are bound to feel the bloody hand soon or late. It is a serious proposition for the law-abiding per son, whether he be white or b ack Tbe fear of tlie gallows keeps the hot- blooded negro from shooting down i white man when he becomes infuri ated because of some imaginary or real wrong. This is the boldest statement of an unpleasant truth that we have seen, but who can doubt that it is true? There is no question that a large class of the negro population holds Terr lightly the killing of each other. If this idea is allowed to flourish through the cupidity of white men, how long, as the Observer suggests, will it be that the brutes can be held in leash from attacking white men with the same unprovoked fury? The white men who secure the liberty of such brutes for the sake of their labor are playing with fire. Still In tlie ring for chickens and ggs, J. A. Lingle. Jlr. D. 11.
