Lewis in Madison Jail CHARGED WITH FORGERY i Accused ol This Crime at Paris. Texas He Has Been Living at keysville. Vo t'ndcr the Name of A. M. Scales. Governor Russell will in a few days receive papers from the Gov ernor of Texas asking for a rtquisi tioo for R. P. Lewis, a.ias A. M. Scales, recently of Keysville, Vir ginia, but now under arrest at Madi son. N. C, Governor Russell has received a telegram that the papers have been sent The pcop'e of Kevsville are in a fever of excitement, over the affair, it is learned. They express great sympathy for him and believe that he is innocjut notwithstanding the accusations. Lewis alias Scales was a lawyer of Kevsville, stood well in the com munity, was an active worker in the Methodist church and a zealous Mason. One of the citizens of Kevsville last week visiiedthe family of Scales. They ask that none of his effects there be molested, assuring his creditors that everything will be satisfactorily settled in due time. Of course this Alfred M. Scales' is not the prominent young lawyer of G reensboro. The Richmond Tim?s calls this one of the most remarkable case in Virginia history and tells the fol lowing : The Haiti A-in Detective Agency at Roanoke had a warrant for the ar rest of Robert P Lewis alias I'rice alias I', entice alias liiowmug .ilias Scales, on a charge of forgery, al leged to have been committed in Paris, Tex , in August, 1MH. When their detective arrived at Keysville, Scales got wind of the matter tied escaped, it, is said, by the aid of prominent people in the 10 v Scales had so ingratiated bimse f with the people of Keysville that he bad their full sympathy and every effort was made to keep the matter quiet and out of the newspapers the news of the affair having been sent out out bv correspondents from near by towns, who ha-J no interest in protecting this i nt-ri st i n tr char acter. His friends in Keysvillp have a high regard for Scales and firmly believe in his innocence, notwith standing his aliases, his tleeing when the detective came and the charges against, him. He came to lOysville :n October 18llti, from Grundy, Buchanan county, suffering with rheumatism, and introduced himself as Alfred M Scales, a lawyer, and a cousin of the late General A M Scales, of North Carolina. He had a certifi cate of license to practice, signed by the late Judge Richardson, of the supreme court of appeals, and the late Judge W S Barton, of the Tenth circuit. Hfc also had a church letter from a Methodist church in Buchanan county, on which he joined the Methodist church at Keysville, in which he became an active worker and superintendent of the Sunday school. He joined the Masons while there and was held in high esteem by the citizens They say he has lived at Marion and atChilhowie. in Smyth county and in Russell county, where he practiced law as R P Lewis. Scales during his soj mrn has en gaged in various enterprises, and won the confidence of the people of the town With his law practice be added other business ventures, was public spirited, and retarded as a great acquisition to the thriving village. He had bank accounts at Chase City, Smithville and Keys ville. His credit was undisputed, and he seemed to be prospering. The investigation made by the cit izens of Keysville in regard to the past history of Scales develops a most remarkable story and strength ens their sympathy for the fugitive. The bondsman in the alleged for gery case at Paris, Tex , speaks in hf.k nnnia r.f 1 T ... tt'io ' an A la fit. A loss to know by be should try to escape , 1 His bondsman, who is a poor man, has sold bis home to pay the forfeit ' ed bond, and is trying to Mcar the presence of Lew. s only lo save the ooet to himself and family. Be eaye hie trial will he Ouly a formality, aa he has endeavored to acquit him. In a letter to a Keysville citizen his bondsman gives the following outline of Lewis' life in Texas : Lewis went to Texas a youth and worked as a farmhand, and was re spected by all who knew him. By his over exertions he studied law, and was admitted to practice in Paris and prospered as a lawyer and a man of business. But befell under the hypnotic influence of a man destitute of honor, who forged some names and Lewis, being in his confidence, refused to betray bim, and to save him left the state. Lewis' father went to Texas from North Carolina withample money to settle the notes, and was swindled out of it by the same man who promised to get the papers. Lewis afterward voluntarily returned to Texas and stood trial and was ac quitted on four indictments of any complicity in the forgery, and would have been acquitted without doubt upon the other, but the same night before the trial this same influence was exerted over lilm, and he was induced to leave the state. His bondsman is a poor man. The r'.uctirc Club.

The matter of compulsory vacci nation is about to be tested in Char lotte. When smallpox appeared there a compulsory vaccination ordi nance was enacted and is yet in force, says theStatesyille Landmark. Friday one J D Buff refused to be vaccinated aud was sent to jail. The same day physicians entered the house of Mr 13 F Williams and vac ciuated the family against their pro tests. Thereupon Mr Williams had warrants issued for the doctors for forcible trespass. The case was tried yesterday and the defendants bound over to court. Some of the Charlotte aldermen want to rescind the ortli nance, now that there i- no smallpox there, but we hope the question of whether or not a town has a right to enforce such an ordU nance will be tested and settled one way or another. There is much op position, most of it unreasonable op posi'ion, to compulsory vaccination anil it is important lo have the mat ter passetl upon by the courts. If a town may not enforce a compulsory vaccination ordinance it is difficult to see how It can enforce a quaran tine law. But the courts may look at it another way. No Local Option tleetittns in 'tits. Humor had it a short time since that a petition would be circulated asking the commissioners to order a local option ele2tion, antl a prohibi tionist mid yesterday that, this would be done, hrt thought. How ever, by the act of Ls'87, such an election is out of the question this year, as this enactment declares that in J tine of that year, and every t wo years thereafter, a local option election could be held. The ob ject of this act. is wisely, to prevent such elections being held at the same time us the general elections, thus separating the local option question from politics.
