A Day of Many Blessings When we look over the page* of a day's work'with fairness and in the spirit of justice tyid truth, -we must admit that much has been and still is. being done for us.

The editor of the Daily News lias written in such a w;.y as to make those most familiar* with lite fact; think that martial law has been "declared and he has been appointed governor general ova Martin County; and also has been commissioned to abuse Mar tin County and her officials beyond reason; and has not confined himself to the facts in the ease.

After the act of March 29th our sheriff and his deputies arrested prac tically every member of the mob, and they have been tried and part sent to the State prison and the remainder fined heavily; therefore,'you see, Mr. Kdit'or, that our sheriff did better than yours, for he made no a/rest and every member was allowed to go free, and you must have pinned roses of indorsement on them.

His acts as sheriff were weighed and n found KOOII by the grand jury; and ii when a men says the jrranii >ury was whitewashing, "he must measure their ) corn in his half bushel."
