The Richmond Times Dispato rehearses the particulars of th criminal Assault near Charlott last week and add* by way < comment: ,4lt is distressing to have to r< late such a story in these column but there is in it an object lctsn which should he impressed upo all occasions. \Ve,ofYirginiu hav been much condemned hy Nortl cm ianatics for enacting a la making attempt ut criminal a: sault upon women punishnb with death at the discretion < the jury. This incident which by no means an isolated cast serves to show the necessity r\ the Virginia *t- hitc and tlie jus itication of it. s>'uch an ntlemp as we have said, is almost as b;i as the act itself, so far a* the su feringjuf the victim goes; bi more than that, \he law is ncco sary as the only lawful means < preventing such attempts, an still again it is necessary as means of preventing lynchin; In the eyes of the public thebru who commits no nccniilr cnfl? \vc have above related deserv* to die, and if the law does n provide for tho death penalty, ii dignaut citizens ot the cotnmunil are very apt to take tho law itil their, own hands and attend 1 the case. The argument of our ontcn porary is sound, and the law i Virginia to which it refers is good one. We wish it were tl law of North Carolina also. Tl Observer hopes it is not bloot thirsty, but it thinks there h: been too strong a^tcndcncy of lat years toward the modification < our criminal laws. If this is til there can he little hope of tl enactment of a statute like that < Virginia; but it is a truth that tl brute who makes a crimina though unsuccessful, assault upc a woman, has committed as grc; a crime against her and again civilized society as the other bca who succeeded, and as richly d< serves to die. The subject is n< a nice one to discuss in publi and we dismiss it with a sugge tion.?Charlotte Observer. The cotton mills and growe; association are considering a pit to send former Senator McLauri to China in reference to trai relations with that country, an to arrange for the cxpans'u n ( the cotton goods market if poi eible.

'I'hc Dispensary's Movt Devoted Newspaper and Admirer Seems to Snuff the Odor of the Rottenness. (From the Abbeville Pres* and banner.) We see by the newspapers that some of the dispensers have been j receiving extra bottles of liquor in their case goods. * r Now, did they accept these ex- . tra bottles as bribes from the ( distiller and appropriate them to their own nsc? Or, did they charge thorn up to ( their account, so that the state received the profil ? If they appropriated these cxtni bottles as personal property did they drink tho liquor, or did they sell their own liquor without a license? They had no more right than anybody else to sell their own liquor without license. It ssems thHt this whole liquor business might be looked into. If dispensers are selling these j extra bottles, and depriving the , Stale of customers, wherein is the ( dispenser less culpable than a blind tiger? if a dispenser may receive and 1 sell one bottle, may he not also < receive and sell a whole case? If a whole case, why not a carload? It would seem to us that for a dispenser to sell liquor on his own account, without license, while he is in the pay of the state, makes him doubly criminal, namely: In his failure of loyalty to his employer, and in his sale of liquor contrary to law. It ls^to be hoped that the proper authorities may look into this matter. If dispensers may re ccive liquor as a bribe from distillers and then sell it unlawfully while in the employ of the state, it is time that the people understood the matter. If one set of officers may receive rebates, and if another set may receive bottled liquor, arc there any other places for profits? Pet us ; ( tl..- misunderstood. Wc are standing for the dispensary first, last and all the time. But we want the evils remedied and the liquor sold according to law. News Of The Slate. Specials to The State.

The tribe is the Catawbns, who at on? time inhnbped all that section from Savannah to tbo North Carolina tine. Of all the thousands of years ago there are but eighty left and they want to go Wesr where they may be with tho rest of their race. To consider this a meeting of the tribe was held the other day and as a delegate dim Harris, who is the big chief, went to Columbia to sec the governor and ask his advice Tho State makes an appropriate n c.f about $1,500 a year f r their support and Harris' idea was that this money couM tie used for transportation to the Indian Territory. Tho governor, however, had no authority to do this lint promist d thai ho would take up matter with the legislatme and recommend it if the tribe really desired to leave tho State. Harris says that the few that are left are not full bloods and that the appropriation lias taken nwny all of their desire to work. Without t h o appropriation, however, it is doubtful if they would live as almost nl! of their land has been bought by the whites and the appropriation is really u debt assumed by the Sta'e for land taken bv tho whites. The Catawbns now live on Catawba river, in York county, about 15 miles from tho North Carolina line. Demolished By Lightning. Special to News and (Soulier. Bishopville, August 2. ?
