The two boys were coming to Ox ford in a two horse wagon and while passing through a stretch of wood- id,nu on tne new road two or three miles west of Providencefi two white men stepped out and covered them with pistolsand compelled them to unhitch the horses and remove the harness; and when this was done, "1C ucoyeiaie men oouna tne ' two colored boys to a tree. When the highwaymen sprung from the brush and covered the boys with their pistols, they told the boys that if they made the least bit of noise they would kill them on the spot. When they tied the boys and got on the horses to .ride away, they told them that if they would be very quiet and make no noise the horses would be returned to them one hour later. The boys soon twisted and squirm ed from the cords that bound them, and as soon as they were free they hastened to Oxford and informed Sheriff Hunt. The boys showed some emotion in the sheriff's office as they told how the two white men sprang from the brush and covered them with pistols and threatened to kill them if they made any noise.

The colored boys said that the robbers' eyes gleamed like wild ani mals and that they were very ner vous.

The words of John L. Lewis, act ing president of the mine workers, in announcing the decision, are sig nificant. "Gentlemen, we Will com ply with the mandate of the court," he said, "We do it under protest." More striking and impressive still were his words: "We are Ameri cans. We cannot fight our Govern ment. That is all." Mr. Palmer Speaks Every patriotic citizen of Ameri c6 should know where his Govern ment stands in this matter and why it stands there. Mr. Palmer thus makes it clear: "The coal strike is a . plain viola tion of a federal statute. This has beenthe Government's position from the start. The President declared it to be unlawful and the court, af ter full hearing, has now declared it to be unlawful. "The proposal by the President of a peaceful settlement of the 'matters at issue between tile operators and the miners, through negotiations or arbitration, was rejected and the Government, therefore, faced the al ternative of submitting;to the de-: mands of a single group, . "Confronted with such a choice, .the Government's duty was perfect ly -clear; it refused to surrender to the dictation of a group and it pro poses to assert its power to protect itself and the people, whom it is de signed to serve. The Government is no respector of persons in the en forcement of the law. Those who conceive that the resolutions of a convention, or the orders of the of ficers of any . organization , in the country, whether labor organiza tions orariy other, are superior in authority to -the law of the land will find themselvesmistaken, .

Beasley accompanied De puty Lyon. When the officer reach ed a point -two miles west of Provi dence they found the wagon' in the road and the harness scattered about the ground, just as the boys had ex Dlained. and on the tree were the cords that bound the hands and feet of the two colored boys. The officer saw tiie tracks of the horses where they entered the woods. but thev were unable to track them'; from the woods into open field, but they are of the opinion, however, that the robbers worked their way through the woods to a,, path and thence to the bridge that crosses the river. executive committee had prepared government officials for a long strug gle.

T. OSBORN, Secretary. Plummer Hester, Tried For Life, Is a Free Man. The whole of -the first week of Superior Court has been devoted to the trial of criminal cases and vall cases on the civil calendar set for this week have been carried over to next week. There were a large number of submissions at this term, but several cases were strongly con tested and required ?i quite a good deal of time. : As we go' to press the following cases have ' been disposed of: State vs. Lovelace Harris, carry ing concealed weapon, fine of $50. and costs. vrvY W State vs. Milton' Woodlief , murder verdict of not guilty by the jury. This was the case wherein the de fendant killed a man, Plummer Hes ter, at Creedmoor, last May by throwing a rock in an altercation that had arisen between them. The evidence showed a case of self-de fense on the part of the defendant and he was acquitted by the jury."; State vs. Irby Beck, plea of ; nolo contendere '-"ahju'dgfi;ittspttd ed on payment of costs. State vs. George Sidney, assault with deadly weapon, prayer for judgment continue and defenudant placed under bond for good behav ior. State vs. James White, carrying concealed weapon, $50 fine and costs. --. ' '' . State vs. Noah . Overby, fornica tion and adultery; verdict of not guilty. ' . :) ' . State vs. Junius Mitchell, having liquor for purpose of sale, fine of $100. and costs. State vs, Ernest Thorpe, violation j of public morals law, fine of $25 and costs.,' State vs. James Carter, carrying concealed weapon, fine of $50 and cases of smallpox. The disease is spreading, said Dr. Morris, and it is an up-hill business to 'make the av erage man believe that it is small pox. ' He found an old colored woman last week out inthe Shelton Creek neighborhood who had a bad case of the loathsome disease. She was cov ered with blimps as large as white oak acorns. Members of the family and numerous i neighbors had been exposed to the , disease for some time. The woman suffered with the disease several days believing that it was nothing more than "boils." Dr. Morris offered the old wom an $5.00 if she would accompany him to the school house where he could exhibit her, but she said she was feeling too bad to make the trip. We asked Dr. Morris if it would be safe to exhibit a smallpox pa tient, and he replied that sixty or seventy feet was a safe distance. He said that some of the bumps and the distorted features could easily be seen across a safety zone of 75 feet. Continuing, Dr. Morris said that if it was possible to. exhibit even a medium case of smallpox to the gen eral public . the people would wake up and realize the dangers that con fronts them. Now that the cool weather is up on us, and the people insist on keep ing the doors and windows closed, said , Dr. , Morris, we may anticipate something bordering on to an epi demiciin the county unless the peo ple grasp the situation and do all in their power to stamp out the dis ease. By all means, if you know of a case, or even suspect that it is smallpox, it is your bounded duty to report it at once to the health officer.
