Epiror Rerircror:—The call of Mayor Forbes upon the citizens of the town to meet at the Court House to-night is of much importance, and it is to be hoped and expected that the citizenship of the town will give to this opportunity such gravity as it is en titled to. That something is to be done is too evident to be discussed, or longer delayed. The rates of insurance in ex- cess ot what would be was the town provided with a sate guarantee from fire, will do much and go a long way towards fitting the town for an emer- gency. “He, who delays is lost, and he who duubts is dammed,” is a trite saying. | Above all things, the town should be guarded against fire. Regardless of political advantage, every one is in- terested. Lay aside the slightest idea of politics and all co-operate for the same good cause. Let the Councilmen feel they have the support and en- dorsement of the people and let a com- mittee of the very best and most pro- gressive citizens be appointed to for- mulate a plan and report to a nadjourned meeting to be held in the Court House at the very earliest period practically and then endorse the action of the com- mittee or divine some better plan, and let the Mayor and Councilmen feel and know they have the hearty sup- port and approval of the people. Let this committee be composed of the very best citizens regardless of politics o° other considerations. The fire fiend is no respector of persons. Let the work be done at once. The town ‘can ibe (practically. dafei at no | great ‘ebst, insizdificant at least tv the severe losses by :tli¢ date” fire. ‘Trobe who witnessed. the :recent’ ‘fire ‘cannot fail to feel the importance, ‘and when the plan is adopted let» there _ be 10 croaking, for that is what has kept | us {rom having a better outfit in the past. The common interest of any person demands action, not so many words. Sach men as R.J, Cobb, E. A. Moye. Q, L. Joyner, S. T. White, W. H: Long, John Flanagan, J. G. Moye, Os- car Hooker, S. M. Schultz and Sheriff King would constitute a committee to act without fear of croaking ‘criticisms and would inspire confidence and ap- proval. : Citizen.

Fitzsimmons Says He Will Complete- ly Ignore Corbett. An Associated Press reporter had a talk with Fitzsimmons about the Cor bett challenge on the way from the battleground last week and this is what he had to say about it: “J shall completely ignore that tel- low Corbett. It was a thousand dol lars of American money to one cent, Mexican coin, that ‘Pomp Jim’ would get in his oar just as he has. shall use about the same argument once em- ployed by Charlie Mitchell—tell him to go get reputation. Let- him go and whip Peter Maher and Joe Choyinski before he opens his head to me. Both men wanted to fight him and I think either one of them can lick him. This much I shall insist upon. He must first win from Maher and Choyinski before he gets into a ring with me. “J whipped with ease the man Cor- bett presented the championship belt to in order to escape a match with him. ‘To show Corbett how little weight his championship presented carried, 1 now formally, through the Associated Press, renounce all claim to the belt and re- tuse to-acceptit. J am going to Madi- son Spuare Garden with a half dozen contracts I made conuitionally on win- ning from Maher, and then, with Ju lian, Stenzler, Roeber and my family, I sail for Eng\and.” Manslaughter. Robert Moore, the young white man who was charged with the murder of Samuel James at Scotland Neck two weeks ago, was tried at Halifax last Friday and submitted to manslaughter and was sentenced to four years in the penitentiary.
