We give this week some account. icertain bills which failed to become !avs. THE AMENDMENT TO DIVIDE THE SCIOOL FUND. Duciny the first days of the ses- sion several members, among them Representatives Stubbs, of Martin. and Wrigbt, of Rowan, introduced pilis to amend tbe constitution so that the white children could get the school tax money paid by white tax payers and the negro ehildren that paid by negroes. These bills were referred to the committee on consti- cutional amendments, of which Mr. Stubbs was chairman. Towards the close of the session Mr. Stubbs’ bill was reported by the committee to the House without prejudice aad made a special order. When the hour for the special order arrived a motion was made to re-refer tke bill to the jadiciary committee. The adoption of this course was under- stood by all to mean the death of the measure, and its friends fought the motion to re-commit. The writer opposed the motion in afew remarks and voted against it. The motion to re-commit prevailed by a large majority. It was felt by a majority of the House that to submit this proposed amendment might preju- dice our recently adopted suffrage amendment in the courts. A large majority of the Democratic members favored giving the white children the school tax money paid by their race. but it was felt that the time to act bad not come. During his cam- pain the writer promised the peo- pie cf Iredell county to favor this preposed amendment, aud he kept bis pledge. He did all he could, but was unsuccessful, THE CODE COMMISSION. A bill to establish a Code Commis- sion with three members at a salary of $2,090 each anda clerk at $1,000 passed the House during the last days of the session, It went to the Sevate where the salary of the com- missioners was cut down to $1,500 each. Thebill then came back to the House for concurrence in tbe Senate amendment anc was consid- ered lateat night on the night before adjourement, Although the amend- ment was concurred in vy a large majority of the members voting, a quorum did not vore, and tbe polut of no quorum was raised against it. The bill, therefore, failed to pass for wantof quorum votiog. The writer heartily supported this measure and regrets its failure. There has been no revision of our Code since 1883, and it is almost impossible for any one not a lawyer to know what the law is, as the Code has been so much amended and changed by the Legis latures since its adoption in 1883. A new Code1s almost a necessity in 1 North Carolina and it is hoped that the next Legislature will provide for ore. FACTORY LABOR. Several bills were introduced to shorten the hours of labor in facto ries andto prevent child labor in cotton mills. Before the bills were acted on the principal mill owners ble, and no local bill was passed that was not demanded by the people or the public welfare. In matters concerning the incorporation of churches and school houses the mem- hers were ayreed that the wishes af the majority of the white voters of the territory affected should be re- spected. They decided that any tax levied fcr public road improvement shovid be submitted to the qualified yoters uf the county or township be- fore becoming operative. The fol- lowing are the local laws passed for the county: A law authorizing the county com. missioners to levy a special tax of 10 cents on property and 30 cents on polls to repay money norrowed ta erect the new court house. This special tax was necessary and una vaidable. A law authorising the county commissioners to work the county convicts on the public roads or elsc- where for the benefit of the county. In the past the county could have made advantageous contracts with private individuals for the labor of the convicts, but the }aw authorized them to beworked only on the public roads. Inthe future the commis sioners can work them wherever they think best for the county's in- terests. An act providing for better roads in the county—to become operative when the people vote the tax. A full notice of this Jaw was printed in this paper week before last. An act to amend the charter of the town of Mooresville, providing for an election for bonds for elecric lights and other improvements. ‘An act to incorporate The States ville Loan and Trust Company. An aet to repeal the law of 1892 exempting Third Sreek from the general creck law of the county. ~ An act to allow D. C. Rufty, for- mer tax collector of the city of Statesville, to collect arrearages cf taxes for the years 1895 and 1896. An act appointing certain justices of the peace for the county. Fulbright, Esq , of Shilob township, was appointed in addition to those already published in this paper. An act to prohibit the manufac- ture and sale of liquor within 22 miles of Elmwood Presbyterian church, Chambersburg township, and } of amile of Warren’s Chapei PrimitiveBaptist church,Siatesviile township. The members received petitions signed by pearly all of the white voters in the territory affected asking that these churches be incor porated. A bill passed the House making it a misdemeanor for domestic fowls— chickens, turkeys, geese and the like—to run at large upon the lands of other persons than the owners of such fowls. The owner is liable toa fine or imprisonment upon convic- tion. As the bill passed the House it only applied to Cleveland and one or two other counties, but when it went to the Senate a large number of counties were added to it. Sena- tor Stikeleatheradded Iredell. When the bill came back to the House the writer moved to non concur in the Senate amendments and the moticn prevailed. A committee of confer- ence was appointed by the House 2nd Senate, the writer and Senator Stikeleather both being members. the Iredell bills passed the Sena‘v as he did in his own bills. Before closing this article t} writer Gesires to bear testimony the sound judyment, strong com mon sense, patriotism and kindness of his colleague, Dr. Samuel W. Stevenson. No constituency had a vetrer or more faithful represente tive than the people of Iredell coua- ty had in him. The two Iredel! members roomed together at the Yarboro Hotel, and the writer is ip debted to his older coileayzue for much good counse! which frequently prevented mistakes and biunders. Ou almost every roll call the two Iredell votes were cast together. Tn fact, if the ~riter happened to be out of the House during the discus sion of a measure and returned dur- ing arcoll call. he waite? and saw how his colleague voted and then voted likewise. Dr. Stevenson was nearly always right. In conclusion the writer desires to say for himse!f that he doubtless made mistakes, but they were of judgment and not of intent. He de- sired to faithfully represent his con- stitrents and to legislate for the best interests of North Carolina. aati The Cost of the Impeachment Trial About $7.060. Raleigh News and Observer, 29th There was a meeting of the Coun- cil of State at Governor Aycock’s office yesterday. The mee*ing was called for the purpose of considering the matter of the expenses of the impeachment. It is said that the total cost to the State of the impeachment proceed- ings is $7,000. The statement has been repeatedly made in the public prints that the expenses of the pro- ceeding would not be less than $15 - 000, but thisis a mistake, ana the expense is reaily less than balf tbat sum, Of the total cost of the impeach- ment, the lawyers’ fees amount to $2.600. The managers received $4 per day, as doalso the Senators. The trial lasted fourteen days. The pay for the nine managers amounts to $504, and for the fifty Senators $2,800, the total of which is $2,205 which, with the attorneys’ fees.amount t0$3,905. In addition to this, the witnesses and attendants on the trial must be paid, which will cost probably $1,200 more. A large part of this latter amovat goes to pay the “expert witpesses’’ summoned fer the de fense, but who did not testify. 3 perenne Coliector HarkinsOrdered to Reduce Sis Force. Asheville Dispatch, 29th. Collector Harkins has received instructions from the Treasury De- partment directing him to reduce both his office and field force, in 2c- cordance with the provision of tke war revenue act passed by the last Congress.

BILLS TO TAX DOGS. Several bills were introduced to tax dogs—some of them applied to the entire State and others to par ticular counties. Some proposed te tax dogs $1 each and others 30 cents, the money to go to the school fund. All these propositions failed, or if one did pasa it applied only to some particular ccuaty or counties. The iredell members were opposed to this proposition, chiefly for the rea son that the proposed tax would bave-been largely ataxou the poor— people not able to pay it. It was held by some that the tax would kill out the dogs, but this is not prob able as most people would raise the tax money in some way rather than kill their dogs. The dog remains untaxed. THE PROPOSED DIVORCE LAWS. The House passed a bill abotish- ing several causes for divorce, but the Senate so amended the bifl as to make it as lax asthe present divorce laws. Weer the bill came back to the House the amendments were not concurred in, and the bill failed, leaving the former divorce laws in effect. The divorceevilis a grow- ing one in North Carolina, and the House bill would haye done much good, A FERTILIZER FACTORY IN THE PENI- TENTIARY. Representative McLean, of Scot- land county, introduced a bill to maaufacture fertilizers in the peni- tentiary, but the House killed the bill. Not much unskilled labor can be utilized in the manufacture of fertilizers, and the proposition did not find much favor. OTHER BILLS KILLED. A great number of other general bills of more or less importance were defeated, either in the committees or in the House and Senate. Among them were: To prevent the State farms from hiring labor; to prohib- it the State farms from growing peanuts; to establish a State refor- matory for youthful criminals; to provide for court stenographers; to inerease the allowaace for clerk hire to sundry State officers; to require insurance companies to pay the full bill. During the consideration of the school book bill the writer offered an amendment exempting the graded schools of Statesville from the pro- visions of the bill. Dr. Stevenson heartily supported the amepdment. The Iredell! members took this course because of letters from the superintendent of the Statesville graded schovls and the ebairman and secretary of the graded schoo! board asking that said schools be ex- empted from tag State schoo! book law. The amendment was cyer- whelmingly defeated, but the writer was led to believe that a supplement- al bill exempting the schools would be passed, and he promptly intro duced suck bill which was referred to the committee on education I= the meantime the members from the county heard that several members of the school beard and probably a large majority of the patrous of the Statesville graded schools did not desire said schools exempted from the general State school book law, and the supplemental bill was not pressed. Near the close of the ses sion, however, this bill was report- ed back to the House from the com- mittee without prejudice. Tne writer had the Statesville schools stricken from the bill, stating that te had learved since the bill was in- troduced that a majority of his con- stituents did not desire the bill to pass. From memory the above is all the loca! legislation passed for Iredetl county, or attempted to be passed. The members from the county were asked to pass a law levying a tax for roads without submitting the question to a vote of the people, but they declined to do it, ho!ding that the people had the right to say whether or not they wanted to be taxed for this laudable purpose. At the beginning of the session the members from Iredell supported the winning candidates for the House offices, and Iredell was given two appointments—the first assist- ant engrossing clerkship at $4 day and mileage, which was given to A. Garland Munday, young sou of Mr. M. Walker, Esq., of Mooresville, and a place as page, which was given to W. F. Munday, cf Statesville. Squire Walker made an efficientand popular clerk, and young Munday was one of the brightest, best-liked and most This secliou has bad a plenty of rain for the past few days, though it is clear and windy today Tue Ca- tawba river was up right sharply vesterday and out of its ban&s in a great many places, but is running down some tocay and will be so peo- ple can ferry and cross ina day or so.

This dispatch declares that it is conceded that Senators from States which have passed repressive laws, like North Carolina and Maryland, will have to fight for their seats be- fore the Committee on Privileges and Elections. This was stated to be the case by Senator Burrows, of Michigan, who will be the next chair- man of that committee. Senator Burroughs is alsoquoted as Saylog that “‘a new appointment may be made for every Congress,’’ and he added: “Furthermore, the question will be considered of admitting to Con- gress Senators elected by Legisla- tures which were elected in States where alarge number of citizens were disfranchised.”’ That’s what the Radicals want to do, and every man who gives the Radicals a lift, little or great, is thereby assisting those who seek to humiliate and degrade the power of their State. “If troubled bya weak digestion, loss of appetite, or constipation, try a few doses of Chamberiain’s Stom- ach and Liyer Tablets.

Walton, who for years has been merchandising here under the firm name of Walton & Gage, made an assignment Tuesday after- noon to Dr. Thos. E. Anderson. The deed of assignment transfers to Dr Anderson the stock of goods now on hands and all assets and directs that the creditors be paid pro rata after deducting the exemption al- lowed by law and the expenses of the trustee. There are no prefor- ences. A schedule of the assets and liabilities have not yet been made out, but Mr Walton estimates his liabilities at $4,700; of this $900 is due to northern firms for goods, the balance is nearly all for borrowed money. The assets consist of a stock of goods estimated at $4,000 and several thousand dollars worth of accounts. The store will be clos- ed for ten days,after which:steps will be taken to dispose of the stock The failure of W. W. Walton falls as a personal grief on many people in Statesville who have known of his long and hard struggle to get on his feetand meet ali obligations He was not pressed by any of his home creditors, and the immediate cause of his failure was his inability to meet some debts due northern firms. For many years the firm of Walton & Gage was the leading one here and the final collapse of its owner was due to the credit system—his inability to collect the large amount of money due him. He bas been a bard worker, and an honest, honor- able man ia all his dealings but the tide seemed to be against him. en Ww. W:. T. E. Echoes from Pulpitand Pew. Rev.

But she apparently forgot the boys in that new home and remained with their father who married soon after himself. Three or four years passed the boys still living with the father. Last February Mrs. Mullis weuat to to Texas and being pleased with the the country sent back for his wife and boys. Tke came to Statesville last Monday and bought tickets for Texas, but Mrs. Redding appeared ou the scene and secured a writ of habeas corpus for the,custody of the two boys: She and her husband were represented by L. C. Caldwell and W.G. Lewis. The case was tried before his honor, Chief Justice Furches Tuesday and he gave the mother custody of the boys, who are now sturdy younsters about ten and twelve years old. The boys were violently opposed to stay- ing here and begged sobbiagly to be allowed to go on with their mother to the father in Texas, but the law remanded them to their mother who did her best to win them with kind words and candy, but to no avail Their father’s brother, a Mr. Mullis, of Yadkin, had brought the second Mrs. Mullis and the boys down here and when they left Statesville it was in their uncle’s wagon and not with their mother. The present Mrs. Lee Mullis will ¢o on to Texas alone. The Chapel Hill Methodist church bas been recovered and will be re- painted.

Railroad Faxcs Less—Counties on the Murpky Branch Given an Unfair Advantage. Mr. W. W. Turner, register of deeds for this county, has recently had some correspondence with the corporation commission that has developed the interesting fact that although the value of railroad prop erty has been materially increased, Iredelland other counties aiong the line of the Western North Carolina railroad from Salisbury to Paint Rock will not get as much tax mon- ey as formerly. The reason for this is as follows: In 1898 the Western North Caro- lina railroad was assessed for taxa- tion at $2,788.861, now it is $3,766,- 500, an increase of almost a million dollars, but still Iredell gets less taxes, Up to 1898 the Western from Salisbury to Paint Rock was valued at $12,523.64 per mile, while the Ducktown line from Ashevilie to Murphy was valued separately and at a muchlower figure per mile. As it is now the two branches are val-|} ued at $3,766.500, or $12,243.20 per mile for each line.. Evidently the mainline is much more valuable than the Ducktown system, andit seems that it should be valued sepa- rately. It is immaterial to the rail- roads what counties reap the benefit of the taxes they pay;and the cor- poration commission are alone re- sponsible for change in the manner of rating. The counties along the Ducktown, Murphy branch reap all the benefit under the present sys- tem. The loss to Iredell county amountsto about $400, and every county from Rowan to Madison is alsoa loser. They are practica!ly giving tbe counties on the branch road the benefit of valuable railroad property which does not touch them. It seems that there is slight prob- ability of having the injustice reme- died, although it is probable that an attempt will be made. There will be many people along the line of the West :rniwko will wonder what good the increased valuation of the rail- Chewing and Smoking Biack Spring Seed Oats, COOPER & GiLL.

When taken before Aguizaldo, General Funston was to give the signal and Aguinaldo was to be seiz- ed.

This dispatch chronicles the surrender of a considerable addition al number of rebels and military arms, and the important feature of it is that the surrender marks the the complete stamping out of the insurrection in the island of Minda- nao, which is, next to Luzov, the largest island in the Philippine group, The first executionin Manila un- visions. of Capt.

Before the days of many newspa- vers and railroad communication, it surgent more was killed. Important papers were seized with the rebel chief. Aguinaldo was tak- en ashore this afternoon and after having lunched with General Mac- Arthur, he was committeed to Anda street jail. He is in good health and cheerful. The President received the news of Aguinaldo’s capture at 8:30 o’clock Thursday morning, as he left his rocm to go down to breakfast. Telegrapher Smithers of the White House force bore the important in- formation to him, having received it over the ire as soon as_ he ‘‘cut in’’ the Western Union with the Ex- ecutive Mansion. The President’s face lightened up with a smile heexclaimed: ‘‘That’s good, that’s good.”’ He took the message with him to the dining room where he showed it to Mrs. McKinley. The President feels that the cap- ture of the insurgent chief will end the insurrection, so far as all organ- ized opposition to the United States is concerned. Admiral Remey, this morning ca- bled the Bureau of Navigation, that Aguinaldo and three staff officers were captured by General Funston and 83 men. A cablegram from Gereral Mac Arthur confirms the reported cap- ture of Aguinaldo. Adjutant-General Corbin stated this morning, at his residence, that the report of Aguinaldo’s capture oy General Funston was correct. The news of the capture of Agui- naldo by General Frederick Funston was received with much rejoicing, in otficial circles here and generous praise is accorded ‘the gallant Kans- an, whose strategy and bravery have finally placed the wily Zagal Chief der American rule took place today at Fort Malate, where five natives were hanged for the murder of Ar- chibald Wilson,an Englishman, su- perintendent of the waterworks.

Neither President McKinley ror the war department had knowledge of it untilafter Gen- eral Funston was weil on the way. General MacArthur was evidently afraid to trust the wires. But ever since the President has been inform- ec of the details of the daring scheme of the Kansas General, he has been waiting with most intense interest to hear the result of the adventure. While, under the rules of war, General MacArthur could immedi- ately order Aguinaldo tried by court martial and sentenced to death, it is not believed that the United States will deal so harshly with the prison- er. it is recalled that at the close of the civil war only one of the Confed- erate leaders suffered death by exe- cution and there were special circum- stances in his case which was thought justified his hanging, The expectation is that Aguinaldo will be sent to Guam and there kept prisoner under close surveillaace. There is a possability that he may be brought to the United States and be confined here. This however is not deemed likely. After being kept in Guam fora time until American civil govern- ment has been firmly estdblished in the Philipines, Aguinaldo may be brought to the United States in ord- er to show him how wisguided he was in thinking he could successfully wage war with this country and give hin. an insight in our customs. But this isa long wayin the fu- ture. For the next year or two, he will be kept as a political prisoner. — State Swamp Lands. Raleigh Times. Capt. K. S.

The report of the State engineer shows that the State owns 745,412 acres of these lands, of which 561,412 have been surveyed, and 184,000 have not been surveyed, situated as follows: Tyrrell, 90,653; Carteret, 120,857; Jones, Craven, Oaslow and Pamlico, 205,905. Claims are held against 48,864 acres in Hyde and Tyrrell, 5,475 acres in Carteret and 29,787 acres in Jones, Craven, Onslow and Pamlico. On- slow, Richmond and Jones counties are excepted from Captain Finch’s option. Many years ago the State Spent many thousands of dollars on a partial survey of these lands, and had a report made on the feasibility of draining lands in Hyde, Tyrrell and other counties.

The remainder went be- fore the winds.

Mr. Cannady’s home was unroofed and Mrs. Cannady carried out in the yard by the force of the winds.

At the home of Mr. Cannady, who was killed by the flying debris, there wasa new buggy. The only part of the vehicle that has been found since the storm isa portion of an axle.

Martin, the defaulting clerk in the State Treasurer’s office during tbe Russell administration, gets ‘“‘ten years at hard labor in the penitentiary. ”’ This was the sentence passed on him by Judge Starbuck, when Wake Superior court convened yesterday afternoon. In passing this sentence. Judge Starbuck said: “There is a question as to wheth- er he was a State officer or the’ mon- ey he appropriated was State mon- ey. There is,I say, some doubt on this point and I’ll give the defend- ant the benefit of the doubt under the law, especiaily as I can do so and still give him adequate punish- ment. Let him be sentenced to ten years athard labor in the peniten- tiary.”’ The defendant showed no surprise at the sentence. His attorneys asked the judge to specify in his or- der that Martin should go to the penitentiary and not to the roads. Tt was so ordered. He was taken out to the peniten- tiary late yesterday afternoon, to begin his term of service. The amount of money taken from the Jreasury by him is not vet known. The committee appointed by the Legisiature to investigate his accounts enterec upon this task yesterday afternoon. They began at March 11th, 1895—the day Mar- tin went into the office—and went over his accounts for about three months. No irregularities were found. Today the investigation will be continued. The work of examining these books is a very teCious une and will take several days. All themembers ston and Shanuonhouse--are present. Frinity Commencement, Durham Herald.

A sensation that happened in Bowling Green last Saturday night has just become public property dec- ' spite the utmost endeavors of many people ofinfluence to have the de- tails kept secret. Theaffair was an interrupted elopement of five young women from Potter College, Bowling Green, one of the promi- pent seminaries for young women in the South. Abcut midnizkt five young men, all members of wealthy families, drove in carriages to the college, and with ladders aided four young women to leave the building by climbing throngh the second story windows. Whiie assisting the fifth toreach the ground the young man made so much noise that President Cabell was roused. -Seizing a shot gun, the president began shooring at the young n:an, who returned the fire. Twoofthe young men were wounded, but the president was not hurt. The virls screamed, but returned to their rooms, and the swains went away witnout them. The girls are members of the best familiesin Ken- tucky. If indictments shall be found it is probable that they will haye to appear as witnesses at the trial. i iad The Future of the South Atlanta Constitution. In forecasting the future of this section, Major J. W. Thomas, pres- ident of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway. bases bis sunny predictions upou the follow- ing elementary factors: First, thecapacity of the soil of the south to feed five times the pop- ulation it has at present. Second, the largearea of its coal fields, embracing 47,000 square miles that have seams of workabie thickness. Third, the large quantity of iron ore found ineight out cf the fourteen southern States. Fourth, the ability, by reason of the cheapness of coal and iron ores, to make cheap iron, which is now the standard, basis and meter of civ- ilization. Fifth, the ratural advantages for the manufacture of cotton and wool. Sixth, the large extent of forests and the thousands of industries that will naturally spring from tbe pres- ence of such forests. Under the above six heads Major Thomas has summarized within the smallest possible compass the mag- nificent possibilities of the south, each paragraph suggesting the sub- ject upon which volumes might be written. No one can impartially consider the capabilities of the south as set forth in the resources, of climate, forest, field and mine without real- izing that the future of the southis full of the promise of prosperity and contentment. —_-- Whiskey Drinking in the South New York Sun. Before the beginning of the civil war and for several years after the distinction of the Southern States as those which produced and consum- ed a larger amount of spirituous li quors than any other group of states in the country was ucchallenged But since the close of the war a com- plete, palpable and very marked change has come almost imperceptt bly over the face of things in the South, and while Kentucky ard Maryland continues to produce whiskey in very large quantities as warehouse returns of the United States treasury indicate, the larger part of the product ofboth states is shipped North; comparatively little sent South for consumption. In fact the South is becoming the temperance section of the United States, and of 200,000 retail liquor licenses cf various sorts, there are only 1,000 in Alabama, 750 in Ar- kansas, 400 in Florida, 1,200 in Georgia, 350 in Mississippi, 1,200 1n North Carolina and 325 in South Carolina, where the dispensary sys- tem prevails, and in which there has been a very marked reduction in the sales of liquor during recent years eis Spanked With the Leg of a Lamb. ROC R,I., Special, to Philadelphia Rec- ord, George Dunlop was today sen-; tenced to 15 days at Cranston jail for spanking his wife with a leg of a lamb. Mrs. Dunlop is youthful and prepossessing. With a tearful face she told the story of the assault made by ber husband. She said he came home after being away all night Sat- urday and smashed the windows. Then he kicked the pavels out of the doors and fought with the kitchen stove, smashing all the utensils a- bout the pantry. He broke three lamps, and said he would drink the kerosene. Mrs. Dunlop was terrified, but she tried ; to quiet her husband. Finally he; seized the Sunday leg of lamb and, | putting Mrs. Dunlop over his knees, : he spanked her with it soundly that’ she was forced to shout murder and} police, and an officer responded. | As the policeman went through! the wrecked door he saw Dunlop! wielding the leg of the Jamb with’ both bands and Mrs. Dunlop was on} the verge of a collapse.

He ’lowed that this mendamus busi ness is petting pretty ticklish now, and he’d have to think over it a while before ordering the officer to take the goods, especially until he got his own fee, which wasn’t then in sight.

Breach Between Mayor andAldermen | of Wilmington. | Wilmington Special 4th, to News & Observer. Wilmiagton now has, as a result of the recent city election, the unusu:1! speciacle of amayor and board of a! cf the council are strong supporter of Mr. W. E. Springer, candidate for mavor, and as the re sult of combination of circumstances the breach between these and the mayor has been yradualiv growing widereach day. Monday night the mayor appvisted the usual standing committee forthe term and placed himself at the head of one or two cf the most important of these, with another member friendly to himself and a third from theSpringer fac tion. In regard toappointing him- self ou committees it is shown that it jig; weerding toa long established custom. This proved to be the crowning incident to all the manifes- tations of hostility between the iwo parties to the coatroversy, however, and asa result a special meeting of the aldermen was held iast night, the mayor presiding and a court room full of sympathizers of each faction being present. By a vote of 7 to2, ordinances were peremptorily adopted divesting the mayor of the authority toappoint committees ana placing the power in the hands of the aldermen. Jfayor Waddell re- plied in a written statement, charg- ing two of the members with being actuated by an ambition to te chair- man of the seyeral committees upon which they sre appointed, and de- claring that his efforts to preserve harmony in the admiuistration were at an end. “All responsibility except such as strictly and technically attaches to the chief executive ofiice of the city, is henceforth upon yvou,’’ concludes the mayor. ‘‘I shall, as chief execu- tive. leave no doubt about my au- thority. I have nothing todo with making laws cr ordinances for the city—you have nothing to do with the execution of them. Higher au. thority than yours declares me tobe the chief executive officer to whom all others sball be subordinate Lin- tend to be what the law says I am. and yeu may take notice thereof and govern yourselves accordingly.” Alderman Harris gave notice that he would reply in writing later. Mrs. Nation's Career as Exemplifying Coercion in Morals- The Toccoa, Ga., Witness, Mrs. Nation, with her morbid craving for notoriety, is an expon- ent of the logical results of coercion in the field of morals. Her antics advertise the liquor business more effectively than could be done in any other way. Satan uses her semi- insanity to make reform ridiculous. Such work as she is doing plants the seeds of anarchy and strengtheas the gates of hell. The liquor traffic is amonstrous evil. Eyery Chris- tian must pray aad work for its overthrow. But mob violence has no place in Christian tactics. Christ said to Peter, ‘‘Put up thy sword.” The mission of the Church is, to preach the Gospel of redemption, to seek the salvation of individuals. But kingdom of God in the human heart is based upon iadividual re generation. The ethics of the Gos- pel appeal to those who are the sub- jects of Gospel grace. Applied to the children of this world they are a misfit. Christ calls His disciples to get out of the world for it is going to be destroyed. The devi! whispers, Oh no. do not get out of the world, stay in it and make it better. Coerce people into being good end ferce your millen- nium to grow in a hot house. Cheap states to California.

CLAY SHOOTS. i Ge::*ral Cassius M.:Clay, of Ken- , tucky, iesists Officers Who Sought to i Seewe x Sivil Process. ' Lexington, Ky., Dispatch, 6th. With tha ery “The Vendetta! The Vendetti!” on his lips, General Cas-iu- “arcellas Clay, the famous abelir st and duelist, and former Ouited states minister to Russia, this tucrning led his little body- guard to battle against a sheriff’s posse, which had gone to Whitehall, his palatial mansion in Madison county. to serve papers upon the genera in a civil case, instituted against him by his daughter, Mrs. Mary @B Clay. Many shots were fired on each side and the posse fi- nally Ceparted without accomplish- ing the purpose of its visit It is reported that General Clay was wounded in the affray. - Fleeing “his supposed enemies, he barricaded himsel! in nis ‘“‘den’’ in the mansion acd there he remains, guarded by his faituful servants. Whether or not he is wounded is known only to himself end to his little bodyguard, No physician has beea summoned to to the house and none Gare approach, except op invitation To-day’s conflict was directly cog- nected with the domestic woes of Genera} Clay. which have darkeacd the clo-ing days of his life. In the battle were the general and two of his boéyzuard on one side, 2nd Sheriff “olyer, Deputy Terrell and Frank Mason, of Madison county, on the other. The writ which the sheriff sought to serve was one or- dering the delivery of some furniture belonging to the general's dauchter. The officers approached the house from the north, passing through the apple orchard, The general’s Rus Sian bnil] dogs set up a barking and the cilicers stopped at the yard. The general’s bodyguard prompily came tothe doorand the sheriff an- nounced that he desired a personal interview with the master of White- hail. Genera! Clay ina few minutes came to the door, revolver in hand. “Genera! Clay,’’ said the sheriff, ‘“‘weare here on a peaceful mis- sion.”’ **You are on my property without leave anc [ will shoot you,’ replied the old man, who. almost blind, Strained his eyes‘as:if trying to make out the location of an enemy. “Don’t shoot, general; we are friends,’ shouted Sheriff Colyer. “Spies, ’’ he retorted, and handing his pisto! to one of his men, he took insteada repeating shot-gun and cocked it. Sheriff Colyer sought shelter behind a large oak tree near by, and h’s deputies also hid them- selves. Atl pulled their weopous. General Clay shricked, “The Ver- ketta! The Vendetta!’’ and began firing in the direction from which he heard the vsices The sheriff fired ia return after the general had emp- tied the weapon. and his deputies also fred; they say not at the old man, but hoping to scare him irto seeking sbelter. Colyer was shoot- ing wild, also, not desiring to kill the oldman, whe, aithough doing his best to kill him, believes he was tiring on an enemy. After eiuptying theshot-gun Gen- eral Ciay tried his revolver, which would not fire. Hethen took from the hands of the other his rifie and discharged it in the direction of the frightened sheriff and deputies. Ex- hausting his ammunition, General Clay sought retreat. He went into his room, 2nd puttisg up the iron bars, ordered his men to adjust the pistols, which were three large navy weapons aiways kept lying ona dresser. He armed himself witha large bowie knife and a butcher knife. Stationing himself by the side of thedoor,he awaited'further at- tack. After General Clay had re- treated in to his den, Sheriff Colyer and his men left the yard. They founda negro boy and sent him to the house te try to get Genera! Clay to come out usarmed and meet them, but in this they were not successful. and they returned without serving the process. Sheriff Colyer says he will not bother General Ciay, but wait tiil Monday before serving the papers. Some months ago General Clay, who bad been leit alone after his ckild wife, Dora Richardson, ran away and feft him, sent for Mrs. Mary b Clay, adaushter to live with him. For some weeks they got along nice- ly, and the veteran appeared to be satisfied. Two weeks ayo he told hi- daugiter 1vu vo tohis family and se cure their coasentto the reiease of all claims cn the property which he occupies, “give the property to Dora, the young, divorced wife, who is now the wife of Riley Brock, and resides at Pinckard, in Wocdford county, oo property given her by the gener al. Mrs. Clay went away accordisg to orders, and returning a day late wasmet at thedoor by ‘theold man. His eyes wéra firey. In his tremb- ling hand be beld a revolver grasped tightly. He demanded to know the result of the visit. ‘It’s all rigat,”’ said the frizhrened daughter. ‘‘All right, is it?’’ retorted the infuriatea man. ‘Yor lie; I know youare de Geiving me’ Leveling the revolver at his daugi:ter, he added: ‘*‘Leave my house, and never come «here a- gain.’”’ Returning to his room the old man moaned: ‘She was trying to de ceive me. I could tell it by her face,”’ Securing 2 writ of delivery for ber furniture, Mrs. Clay placed the pa- per in the hands of Sheriff Colyer. General Clav still loves the child he married, and although she has now grown to womanhood and has re- married, he wantsto give her his property, which at his death goes to her cbildren. He thinks ‘‘the vendetta,’’ about which he has ta'k- ed and written for years, is on, end believed that they were shooting at his enemies, come to murder him in his home. = are Se There are-1,640 saw mills in the State.

Raleigh News and Observer. _ Some fellow signing himself ‘‘Jus- tice” in this week’s Winston Repub- lican, denounces the suggestion that the prosecutions against the regis- trars be “‘nol prossed’’ He advocates this infamous and insulting plan which no decent man would consider for a momet: “But there is an element in the Democratic party whose opinions are to be valued. Itis that element that denounced this impeachment and whose influence lent strength to those wko voted no, to their everlast- ing honor, for whom I have the highest esteem and nothing but words of praise. For the sake of this element, I say the government should yield all it consistently can in these election cases. Not ‘‘nol pros’? shem but if those whoare guilty will come into court and plead. guilty, then Isay let the judge suspend the judgment, make all of them en- ter into a bond for their future good behavior and turn them louse. This will cost them nothing as the State pays the cost, but will vindicate the iaw. This will teach the ballot box thief there is a law higher than the corrupt State laws and we will have peace with honor and safety. ‘-Butif they are not willing to do this and prefer to fight all right and good. Then Mr. Holton should use every effort in his power to convict every one that is guilty.’’ The fellow who wrote thisison the level with the fellow who would join the Ku K!ux and then‘‘peach”’ on his comrades. No. The Democratic rezistrars who have been arrested did their du- ty as honest men. If one of them is amenable to any Federal statute, which we do not believe, it isa tech- nical violation of a lawof which he knew nothing, We do not be- lieve that one of them car be con- victed by any fair-minded, unpack- ed jury of different political parties. The only anxiety we have felt for any of them is that the Federal court machinery is often made a jugger- naut to convict innocent men. Ina fair trial, none of the indicted men can be convicted. Fair-minded Re- publicans know this. They know that their arrest was born of political venom and baffled rage following a crushing defeat. They ought to de- mand that the honest men, the vic- tims of political persecution, be re- leased and freed from further trouble because they are innocent of any crime. : If ‘Justic2’s’’ advice is taken, these men will rot in chains and will become martyrs in a good cause, be- fore one of them will bow “‘the preg- nant hinges of the knee.’’ and “‘ina bondman’s key’’ pray that they be pardoned for acrime they never com- mitteed. The Southern’s Mississippi Victory. Atlanta Constitution. The victory of the Southern Rail- way Company before the railroad commission of the State of Mississip- pi is a splendid tribute to the show ing made before the officers of that raijroad. . The case grew out of the purchase by the Southern Railway Company the Mobile and Obio Railroad, run- ning north from Mobile toSt. Louis, passing through Mississippi on its way. Thecry was raised tnat the purchase was violative of the laws of competition, and that thesale should not beinyalidated by the action of the state railroad commission. Be- fore that body it was shown that the Mobile and Obio did not parallel the the Southern;that its northand south line crossed the Southern’s east and west lines twice at right angles, and that instead of curtailing competi- tion it really extended the competi- tion of the Southern Railway as against other railways in the State of Mississippi. It was also shown that it had never been the policy of the Southern Railway Company to carry dead ends or unworked lines; that every mile of track was worked for all that it was worth, and that it was in this spirit that the Southern desired to enter Mississippi. The plea was so straightforward and con- vincing that the commission urani mously dismissed its action against the Southern. To the people of Georgia, to whom the working of tbe Southern system isso well snowu, the action of the Mississippi commission is so sur- prise. Ten years agothe anti-rail- road spirit in Georgia ran very high. Since that the Southern, uvder the presidency of Mr. Spencer, has dealt so fairly with the people, and has so promptly met every local enterprise that this feeling has completely dis appeared. Other railroads have co- operated, and all past antagonism hasdisappeared. This is true not only of the political feature, but of the appeal to the state railroad com- missions on importast issues. Mississippi therefore, is to be con- gratulated upon its determination to encourge rather than to antagon- ize the deyelopment in that state of the business and the broad and liber- al spirit of the Southern Railway. ae Got Tossed Instead of Moncey.

The self-confessed murderer told the story of the alleged plot from its inception. j The capital crime he committed and all the minor offenses that’ pre- ceded it were, he declared, at the in- stigation and direction of Albert T. Patrick. According to thisremarkable con- fession, Patrick told Jones that the old man was lasting too long, that he must be put out of the way at once, that Jones should do the work and that there would really be no harm in it because Rice had poison- ed his own wifeyears ago and de- served punishment. Jones described his return to Mr. Rice’s apartments and the discovery of the millionaire sleeping peaceful- ly in bed; he told of his stealthy search for a napkin and the fashion- ing of it into a cone shape as direct ed, he said, by Patrick. He detail- ed the story of the pinning of asmall sponge at the point of the cone. After Arnold’s treason and: his flight to the British, the Americans made an attempt toseize him. This undertaking was like Gen. Funston’s exploit. Sergt. Champe of Lee’s Legion was the principal actor in the scheme. His plan was known only to the chief in command; so when he deserted to the British his late comrades fired upon him, and he reached the enemy’s lines under a shower of bullets, narrowly escaping with his life. This was an excellent introduction to the British, and Champewas received with openarms. But he was unsuccessful; Arnold moved his headquarters the day on which Champe had arranged to cap- ture him, and Champe had finally to desert from the English and return, again under fire, to our lines. When Washington wished soon after to promote him for his gallantry, he found that Champe had died of dis- ease. The capture of the British General Prescott, inJuly, 1777, was perhaps the first successful attempt of the American war in the persons of Gen. chell. four white men who took part io the eapture of Aguinaldo. funston, therefore, has North Carolina blood in his veins, and comes by his fighting qualities nat- urally. —_—SE_- SS Body Stops Niaraga Turbine.

Jones looked straight in the eyes of Assistant District Attorney Osborne and con- tinued his story without a break, without a tremor in his voice. He described his approach to the bed with the napkin in his hand; of the flight from the room; of the weary wait of thirty minutes in accordance with Patrick’s alleged instructions; at the expiration of the half hour he returned and found Rice dead. He then threw open tke windows to free the room from the odor of chlo- roform, telephozed to Patrick that Rice was dead, sent for a physician and then, after expressing his yrief at the lossofso good and kind an employer, he said he went to bed and fell into a sound sleep. ee An Interesting Trip. The following extract from an article in the well known publica- tion Chic, Cincinnati, February 23, 1901, regarding the recent trip through the South of a party of mer- chants from Ciacinuati, will be in- teresting to our readers: W. A. Hemphill, the head of the the British forces of Newport, R. L., and went for thesummer to a fine house some five miles out of the city. Col. William Barton, knowing this, decided to capture him if possible; andon July 101777, with forty-one comrades, rowed across from War- wick Point, on the west shore of Narragansett Bay, and reached the house undiscovered. The door of bis house was burst in by a negro, who used his head as a batteriug ram; Prescott was asleep, ard awoke to find himself a prisoner. He was vot allowed to dress, but in his cloak. with a captor carrying his clothes, was forced to the boat, and taken within the American lines and then to Washington’s headquarters in New Jersey. He was exchanged later. The successful capture of Gen. Stoughton by Mosby and his Rangers in March, 1863, was the re- suit of acarefully made plan. Mos- by with twenty nine men, entered Fairfax Court House, passing them selves off as belonging to the Fifth New York Cavalry, and while some of the band attempted to capture Col. Wyndham, the leader went to the house where the General was sound asleep. At the name of Mos- by, Gen, Stoughton sat up in bed, an incandescent lamp to illuminate the inside, and was horrilied to find the body at the bottom of the wheel, right over the 60-inch valve. Coroner Slocumb was notified. It required three men to pull the body out of the turbine, Holden lived at 1003 Grove, this city. Hehad been missing three months witb publication being given to the fact. He must have en- tered the hydraulic canal, passed through the forebay into the pen- stock and down this 200 feet to the power house to reach the turbine where he was found He had to pass four other wheels, but the wheel in which he was found takes more than either of the other wheels. <a Hon F. D. Winston. Elizabeth Ci3y Economist. Among the names suggested for the vacant judgeship in the second judicial district, we see the name of Hon. F. D. Winston, of Windsor. mentioned for the place. We shall give unquestioning approval . to the wise selection of Governor Aycock, but we beg to suggest that the ap- pointment of no lawyerin the second district would so meet thecordial approval of all the peoplein Eastern the ermine and more than justify the bigh expectation of his friends. In these appointments the Govera- or has lived up to his high ideals and the just expectations of the people of the State. qo 2 Quick Work by Mayor Johnson, Cleveland, Ohio, Dispatch, 6th. Tom L. Johnson, the new mayor, took everybody by surprise by walk- ing into the mayor's office immedi- ately after the official count had been completed and taking possession. He said that bis cabinet was not ready and asked the old directorate. those who served under Mayor Far- ley, toremain untilafter their suc- cessors had been appointed and qual- ified. This will probably be a week or ten days, or until the new coun- cil takes charge of the city’s affairs Tke reason for Mayor Johnson's quick action was to block Mayor Varley from signing the compromise ordinance giving to the Pennsyiva- nia, Big Fourand Lake Shore roads a valuable portioa of the lake and river front. Mayor Johnson’s platform con- ained a plank against turning over this property to the railroads, and before tke election ke secured an in- prefession. His Life Was Saved. Mr. J.

I tell you thatdown herein Georgia we all swear by Cincinnati and the Southern Road. It has been a great success, and there is a deal on fora new lease with the Southern Rail- way system. The only difference in the way of the completion of this exceedingly importnat matter is $150,000. Now, Me. Governor, you know the significance of the South- ern to Atlanta, and what is your idea of this matter?”’ Governor Candler, with a smile upon his face, replied in the warm- est manner, and said: *‘Why,io the closing ofa deal that means so much to the future of both the South and to Cincinuati, such a sum should aever be thought of. Ifit can’t be fixed up any other way, we’ll pay it ourselves.”’ After this he extend- ed the freedom of the city and the tate to the Buckeyes. And this is but cneof the many striking re- marks made upon the signal impor- tance of the Southern Railroad in the affairs of the South. After making the trip, this fact was apparent to every one. All of the developing cities are on the line of the system that has built up- the Southern to its present excellence. it’s in everybody’s mouth that the actual boom—this time the healthy and natural one—dated from the time of tbe consolidation of the nu- merous lines into the one company, and the masterly hand of Samuel Spencer, President, showed itself by the thousands spent in terminals, depots, and in every channel that would increase the facilities of the South. The leading men in all the cities who addressed the dinners and receptions, spoke at length up- on the part that the system had played in their growth, At Mobile, where the Spencer regenerating spirit has only begun to show itself, the citizens are singing peans of praise that the Southern has acquir- ed the Mobile & Ohio, and is thus given an inlet thatinsures to that city the great help that it has all along needed. The greatest in- crease in manufacturing establish ments is along its line, and it goes into the very heart of the most val- uable sections of the South. A Gocd Thing.

The attempt to capture Sitting Bull was not made by strategy or trick; our Indian scouts went opealy to the old chief’s tent, and when they tried to arrest the famous Sioux were met with bullets; they returned the fire and killed him, losing some of their own number. Funston’s capture of Ag- uinaldo was marked by a well-de- vised plan, involving more danger than that of any other plot except Sergt. Champe’s, and requiring longer time and more careful work, with the same exception. ee This Better Age. Courier-Journal. The deeds of such men as Hobson, Funston and the latest hero Lieut. Commander Roper, who gave bis life to save a seaman are convincing proofs that the age of heroism and unselfishnessis not past There never was atime in the history of the world when men were more capable of great deeds, and, more than that, there has never been a time when the public conscience was so highly de- veloped and men so regardful of the rights and claims of others.’ This is an age of vast philanthrophy; a hu- mane age. Witness the different treatment accorded the insane, or- phaved children and all other classes that have fallen under the frown of fortune. Were there nothingelse to prove this assertion, there would be ample justificaiton for it in the ad- vanced educational facilities in the schools of every civilized country iu is @ patrictic man, as his life sbows. He isa good lawyer, as his large practice shows, and he and _ his line- age have rendered valuable service to the State for two generations and more. Surely such a record and sucha geneological line of public service is entitled to recognition at the hands of our loved governor. Mr. Winston isa leading lawyer in the second district, but he is as well known in this district as in the second, and his appointment as judge of the second district would be as gratifying to the first district as to his own, He is incorrupt, indefatigable, im- partial and able. —_- SS All’s Fair in War. News and Observer. Of course it is true ‘hat Funston “‘secured’’ Avuinaldo s confideatia} friend Lacuna, as guide; obtained Lacuna’s seal; forged Lacuna’s name; dressed the traitor Filipinos in insurgent uniform; disuised the American soldiers; obtained supplies by fraud from Azuivaldo’s camp to keep his soldiers alive; sent the Tagalogs ahead “‘to greet Avuinal- do;’’ had one of the traitor otticers tothrow “his armsaronnd Avuinal- do’’—all these things were done to effect the capture of the Filipino Chief, who upon his capture said: ‘1 would never have been taken except bystrategem. I was completely de- ceived by Lacuna’s forged signa- ture.”’ It is right, in war, to practice the the world. The teacher is no long- er the iron-hearted pedagogue, but the wise and discriminating instruc. tor who zealously watches the unfold- ingmindand turns the feeble intelect- ual-step into the safest and easiest paths. Witness the hospitals with the trained nurses, the effective sani- tation, the skilled treatment and the accommodations in every modern city so great that cone of the deser- ving poor need suffer for lack of scientific care. It was a sayiny of Napoleon that human nature was always and every- where the same, and, consequent! Ae we mayexpect a repetition of the bravest deeds that were ever per- formed of old. They will come in response to every occasion, and while the proportio. may not in. crease it will certainly not decline. On the other hand men's manners are constantly being subdued under the ennobling influence of the Chris- tian religion, and while the upward progress of the race may ‘seem slow, :t only seems so. The spiritual on of mahkind cannot be doubt ed. ca Says the Mascot: Is Right. After copyiag our article of last week in regard to pardons, the Ra- leigh Post says: When Governcr Vance “served out his last term,’’ as he expressed it, asGovernor, he was as severely criticised for his exercise of the pardoning power as have been an y of his successors. His answer there to can be found in his messaze to the Legislature of 1879. It is an easy flippancy to indulge in, this off-handed censure of the executive. but there is just as much reason to believe that juries and judges make mistakes as to assume the executive errs in every instance. And no oxe is authorized tocorrect the possible mistakes of the courts, or mollify the | or mercy, save the executive. \ THE Mascor is right. j deceptions and fraud which, if prac- ticed in peace, wouldsecure to Funs- ton deserved disgrace? The answer of the nations is that ‘everything is fair in war;’’ that “war is he!!;"’ that “the man who would win wiory, must do his best to get killed.” Funston and his soldiers cannot be blamed for doing what is recognized as permissible in war. The i of war is, ‘Do unto others a: would do to you, and doit ticst.’’ It is abad maxim and destructive of the highest rules of civic honor, but in war every man is after every oth- er fellow’s scalp, aad the las of self- preservation becomes the tirstlaw in civilized as well as barbaric war- fare, No Right to Ugliness.

He was elect- ed capivin of the Forsyth Rifles in April, 1861, and seryed in the Con- federate army of northern Virginia He was wounded at Gettysburg. He weutto fexasat the close of the war. He was then priacipal oweer of the Gaiveston Newsand in 1885 established the Dallas News,of which he was one of the principal owners. Colonel Belo was at various times a director of the Associated Press and one ofits vice presidents. Of late years he had usually passed the sum- merin tne Adirondacks and tce winter at Dallas and Galveston. * It is given out thata boom for ex- Senater David B. Hill, of New York, for tbe Democratic nomination for President in 1904 is being worked up by his friends. Senator Hill is an able man and an astute politician. but he willnot be the Democratic nominee. We believe events of the pext two or three years will pro- duce the man who wiil lead tbe party to victory and that he willin all probability be a man not now known to the country. In avy event it is too early yet to be dis- cussing the matter, and booms started now are liable to strike ma- ny snags before the summer days of 1904 when the convention will be held.

Ofthis state of af- fairs the heads of the various State institutions bave been informed by State Treasurer Lacy, who wrote them that the taxes for the present year were utterly inadequate to meet the Gemands for mosey for speciai appropriations. When the matter is considered, it isa wonder that it had not been ciearly understood before. In mak- ing the increased appropriations, the Legisiature of 1901 based its calculation cbout the money it could vote, upon the revenue to be brought in vy the new revenue law, and not by the ove of 1899.

People who dweil in the land of corn and mountain dew are pleased with some things that they now see. For instance there’s Judge Boyd’s announcement from the bench at Greensboro that all persons convict- ed of violating the revenue laws will receive the full penalty of the law; that the end of compromises has come and straw bonds must be no longer received by the United States Commissiovers. These rulings are causing consternation in some sec- tions, and have moved the editor of the Wilkesboro Chroniclé to callon his readers ‘‘to stop the liquor busi- ness while they can."’ Headds: “The trust is in the saddle and small fry muststepaside. Tbe fact is, no man outside of the whiskey trust can safely conduct any kind of liquor business and the socuer they quit it the better’ And has it come to this, that the Trust is to throttle the ‘shiner and the Money Power is to obstruct the free flow of unstamped mountain dew? We refuse to believe it. ne ees Martin Made Good All His Stealings Except From the Penitentiary. Raleigh Dispatch, rgth. It is learned that to morrow the legislative committee investigating the books of Major J. H. Martin will make a verbal report to the Govern- or. This will say that while he stole from the State Hospital, Agricul- tural Department, Agricultura! and Mechanical Colleze and Institute for thed3lind, he made these thefts good by his stealings from the penitenti- ary which, as before stated, azgre- gate $16,763. Martin robbed Peter to pay Paul. He really hoped he bad “doctored’’ the accounts so he wouldn't be found out. Thecom- mittee will also make a complete written report to the Governor, giv- ing tabulated statements of Martin’s thefts from and repayments to the various institutions, etc. His first stealing was in October. 1896. His largest theft was of $2,100 in Novem- ber, 1899. His largest change of raising of figures on the books at onetime was $3,090. It was about two years ago that he was a high- roller. After the affair was all over aud the thefts discovered people told Father Worth of Martio’s babits. Martin was, as far as women are on with ouly seven jurors. The ease terminated in a mistrial, as the jury could not agree. —_—_—— righteous dub “extremes” are the thick and thin Democrats who fight the party's battles and make the name ‘“‘Democrat” stand for some- thing distinctive in our politics. The ‘‘extreme’’ Democrats are those who have remained true to the par- ty, not only during campaigns and at election times, but through all the years, because they believed it right. In other words they are the old ‘regulars’? who could and can al- ways be counted on. They do not put in their time between elections cursing out the party and decryicg its leadership, and then try to undo the work of years during the short weeks of acampaign. In short, it’s the old fight under new bames be- tween those men in the Democratic party who really believe in Republi- ean principles and those who believ- ing in Democratic principles would keep them uncontaminated. * * First National Bank CF STATESVILLE.EN.

While Bank Examiner Maxwell. who is now in charge as receiver, bas made no official statement, it is known that the bank has loaned a largesum of money on insufficient security. According to his report to the Comptroller of the Currency, there is a shortage of $51,000 in the bank’s accounts, and it is under stood that aconsiderabie portion of this amount was loaned to Brown and Canby on their personal notes. About a yoar 1go the bank reduced its capital stock from $100,000 to $50,000. Atthat time about one half of the so-called bad assets were ‘charged off,’ and haxe been car- ried as an asset since that time The heaviest stockholder of the baak is Colonel Stephen Josyln, of the regular army, 2 member of General Shafter’s staff.

In about an hour he returned to the hotel with a telegram from his house, saying that their book-keeper had failed to send check and that they would hon- ora draft for $75. Mr. Huntley endorsed the draft,and the money was gotten from the First National Bank here. On Saturday the draft was returned to thebank with the endofsement “‘not known.’’ On in- vestigation, Mr. Huntley learned that there was no such telegram re- ceived as has been shown him.

It may excite surorise outside of the State, but the only thing which astonished us here is his continued effort to pose as a Democrat. Democracy has a broad or general mesning and a epecial or lecal meaning as applied toone of the great naticnal par- ties. My colleague says, ‘My detini tion of Democracy is liberty for man formulated into a theory of govern- ment; it means man’s inalienable ownership of himself. It means free thought aad free speech.’ This is not the definition given in any dic- tionary nor is it the definition given by Jefferson, and it is only intended to justify the Senator’s desertion of bis party, his treachery to its prin- eiples and his betrayal of the people of South Carolina who have trusted him. The Kansas City platform is the only embodiment of Democratic principles that can now be recogan ized and no man can be considered a Democrat who ignores the principles and policies lain down in that plat- form and persistently votes with the Republican administration in both its foreign and domestic policies “Senator McLaurin iterates and reiterates the charge that the ‘new Den.ocracy’ is a sectional party and thea truthfully claims that the South which in the last campaign was a- ‘ore Democratic, ‘is the American end of America.’’ Strange that be eause of this fact and our yenera ition aud love for the principles upon which our government rests that this ‘broad American statesman’ and new born Democrat of a hitherto un- known type should council our peo- pie, ‘accept conditions as they are and make the most of them.’ “Senator McLaurin declared in ‘98 thot ‘McKinley shouid be renomi- nated by acclamation.’ and if his speech means anything it means that theDemocratic part ought to surren- derallof its traditions which he claims are ‘long since dead,’ become an echo to the Republican party, en- dorse its foreign policy as well as its domestic policy, ship subsidy, large standing army and everything, and subside absolutely as a Democratic party. “If the administration party is right, what need is there for a polit- icalfactor? Ihave never believed that mv colleague would dare face the people of South Carolina in any political campaign again, knowing what I do about him, but as he indi- cates his purpose tostill masquerade 1s a Democrat and while attacking ne covertly as one of the ‘leaders’ of > called new Democracy, it is sis purpose to lead our pecple into the Republican camp, duty compels me to speak out andtell certain things. ‘“Mr McLaurin madein the Senate, January, 1899, a speech which was as ultra and as pronounced in its de- uunciation of the acquisition of the Philippines and portrayed the many dangers which threatened our coun: try in consequence, as any ever de- iivered in the body. Up to Satur- lay night before we voted on the treaty with Spain or Monday, Feb- ruary 7, 1899, he repeatedly told me 1nd other Senators he was bitterly iy opposed to the ratification and xcu'd not vote forit. Between ad- journment Saturday evening and the voteon Monday the mantle of ‘broad American statesmanship’ de- scended upou him and a few minutes oefore the Senate went into execu- tive session to consider the treaty and take a vote as agreed, he gavea halting and lame explavation of his intended change of front. His vote secured the ratification because on the first roll-call Mr. Jones, of Neva- da, who had also told us he would vote against the treaty, ‘passed’ when his name was called, and I feel certain if Senater McLaurin had steod by bis party and himself, Mr. Jones would bot at the end have voted for the ratification. “Conscious as he was that his vote wxs the governing facior in the train cf momentous consequences so far-reaching and terrible and involv- ing the war of subjugation in the Philippines. the expenditure of hun- dreds of millions of dollars, the loss of thousands of lives‘and other dire results which no man can foresee, it is natural for Senator McLaurin to make a desperate effort to vindicate the President’s policy in his own action. The declaration of indepen- dence of course and abandonment of dead tradition’ is the policy of a man who behaves as he has done. _*Such a man bas no conscience or principle. The eloquent speech which he delivered in the Senate wus largely stolen from a sermon deliv- ered by the Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, on Thanksgiving Day, Nov ember. 1898, in the Brick Church of New York city, two months before Senator McLaurin deliveredit in the Senate. ‘IT have not only bad to blush be eanse McLaurin had deserted his party ina crisis under suspicious circumstances and contrary to his avowed purpose but have had the mortification of having other Sena tors, Northern gentlemen, speak cf the degradation to which South Carolina had come in being repre sented by a mau who would boldiv steal the brain work of another by whole sent necsand paragraphs and have the efirontery to deliver it in the Senate, “The people of South: Carolina caanot be further deceived or misled by this man and I speak now in ord- er that they may fully inform them selves on all these matters and stand ready to furnish the prcof of every thing Isay and if necessary will meet Mr. McLauria face to face in any forum he may choose.

The President today pardoned Joseph N.

Oi the missing funds he was charged with having obtain- ed $19,000. The long legal battle which today ended in Wolfson’s pardon then began. Wolfson had the aid of powerful and intiuential friends. Thecase was ap;ealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals which affirmed the decision of the lower court and was then carried to the Supreme Court on awrit of certio- rari.

Mr. William Wallace, of this place has a curio that collectors of memen- toes of our famous actors and men would value very highly. It isa pair of shoe buckles worn by Edwin Buoth, the great tragedian and an autorgraph letter fromthe actor to Heiorich Conried, of New York. Both the buckles and the letter can be seen in the show window of Rick- ert’s jewelry store. In 1889 Mr. Wallace, while in New York attend- ed a fair given by the Jewish Asso- ciation of that city for the bene fit of Mount Sinai Hospital. Among the many contributions to this fair was a pair of buckles by Edwin Booth. They were raffled for $300 and won by Mr. Jacob Waliace, of New York and given by him to Mr. Willliam Wallace, his brother. Mr. Wallace was offered a fancy price for the letter and buckies that evening, but did not care to sell them. Since then Edwin Booth has died and he values his momentoes very highly. Incon- nection with this gift of Booth’s it is recalled that he had Jewish blood in his veins. It was his brother, John Wilkes Booth, who killed President Lincola. A copy of the autograph letter which is equally as valuable as the buckles is given be low. “Dec. 8, 89 “The Players, Gramercy Park. ‘‘Heinrich Conried, Esq; Dear Sir: The accompaning pair of in the roles of ‘Ruy Blas,’ ‘Claud. ; Melnotte’ and ‘Sir Giles Overeach, and they may have some interest for | the collector of theatrical souvenirs. here a plant for making boat oars. | fine $200, tine paid. . ried.

Charlie Watson is a promi-) nent farmer near here, and his| pretty daughter, Nellie, and C. W. Rogers, a bright young man from | Mississippi, had been sweethearts, but the girl's parerts odjected. An elopement was planned. Rogers secured a license yesterday and, ac- companied by a friend and a preach- er, spent the piyht near the sweet- heart's house. arly this morning the youny woman presented herself and two buggies were in wating. The prospec tive bride and groom climbed into one buggy and the preacher and the friend into the other and stacted for Lapine, the station at which the marriage was to be performed. The father and moth- er had, however, gotien wind of the elopement and presently, when one of the marriage party looked behind he beheld her papa and mama com- ine in their buggy in full tilt. Papa had a good horse, but the horses to the buggies in front were faster. The brideyroom called to the preaca- er to drive alongside of his buggy and while the vehicles were being pulled along the road at break-neck speed the ceremony Was performed The party arrived at the station just in time to catch the north bound train and just in time to wave a cordial adien to papa and mama as heir team dashed up to the depot. They left here for Mississippi at noon today. —_— ee a OO Dakota Diverces No Good Raleigh News and Observer. The most important decision ever endered by the United States Su- preme court, involving the marriage relation, was that handed down last Monday, in which itis held that a divorce is not valid when the per- sous divorced are not residents of the State in which the decree is granted. This decision puts an end to what are commonly called *‘Dakota di- vorees,’’ and will be applauded by all right-minded persons, for it is founded on principles of commoa sense and equity. The effect of the decision is far-reaching in its conse- quences. Persons who have been relieved of marital bonds on one pre text or another in the Dakotas, but who have not been fegal residents of the State in which the decree was cranted, and have been married a second time, are bigamists under the law as soon as they enter any other State in the Union. Inv the Dakotas they are divorced, but in any other State the original marriage com pact is undissolved. It is cheering and encovraging to have the bighest tribunal in the land take this important step toward di voree reform. The granting of di- verees on some sort of buggery- muegery proceeding in the court of a distant State, of which neither party isa resident and where only one party is ever heard. bas become 2 national scandal and disgrace. All those who regard the mar- riage as too sacred to be lightly dis- solved will rejoice in this decision. —_——— oS Girl Saved a Schoo). liarrison, Neb., Dispatch, tgth. A thrilling incident of the Niobra- ra river floods developed here this afternoon, when Miss Alice Cottman saved 13 children from drowning in School No.19, where she 1s a teacher. The building, a small frame affair. oceupied a small glade, a hundred vards from the Niobrara. The stream has in the past few days be- come a raging torrent. Gradually the water backed into theravine and this morning, while busy in school work, Miss Cottman heard the wa- ter pass under the house with a roaring sound, which gradually in- creased. She found the building was surrounded by rushing water. The land was twenty feet away and soon she felt the building shaking. The girl sprang into the flood and found the water nearly over her head, but she got through. Then -be caught a horse which one of the children had ridden to school, and plunged again into the torrent. ‘iss Cottman fastened a10pe around tbe horse’s neck and the other end -be made fast to the doorjam of the building. By this time the building vas floating. It required desperate work to swim the horse back to the shore, and Miss Cottman was forced to hold its head aboye water to keep it from drowning. Then the animal dragged the building close to shore, and it was tied to a tree and the children sent home. The county commissioners will be asked to donate her the price of the building she saved. Cowhided by a Girl. Providence, Ky., Dispatch, roth. Fred Long, aprominent young so- ciety man, was cowhided today by Miss Aggie Taylor while her broth- er-in-law beld him under cover with a shot. gun. Long claims that he arranged with the girl to take a trip to Henderson Sunday, and then wrote a rote toher completing the plans. The note fell into the hands of Frank Baldwin, the girl’s broth- er-in-law, who upbraided her for making the engagement. . Yester- day the girl telephoned to Long to meet herat Nelswanger’sdrug store. He went to the store and as he en- tered Miss Taylor came from behind acounterand pointed a pistol at him. Her sister, Miss Bertie Tay- lor, also appeared witha pistol lev- eled at him, and then Baldwin came vith a double barrelled shot gun pointed at him. He was told that he must take a cowhiding from Miss Taylor. Long toldthe girl to go ahead with the whipping. ~ She struck him adozen times over the shoulders and then stopped. The girl denies that she made arrange- ments to take a trip with him. oT Oe 4& Stillin a Swell House in New York New York Dispatch, roth. Behind lace curtains, with every outward show of refinemeat, a band of clever whiskey distillers have for the last three months successfully conducted a “‘still’’ in a handsome honseat 4669 Third avenue.

He extracted them with pincers. The girl has returned sev- eral times a day since and up to this morning the druggist has drawn out 120 needles from her arms, hands, feet, breast, the lobe of her ear, her eyelids and the corner of ber right The girl experiences vO pain until she fesls the needle piercivy the epidermis. The needles always emerge thick en? first and unless immediately extracted disappear gain. Two reputable newspapers, the Matio and the Temps have investi gated the matter and vouch for the authenticity of the story. Mille Landrieux says that five years ago when she was eleyen years old she amused herself with other children yy swallowing quantities of needies She swallowed forty-nine in one Cay and never felt any inconvenience un til recently, has enjoyed the best of health. While relating the forego- ingto the report of the Temps, who saw herat the druggist’s, she ex- claimed: “T feel one in my eye now.” The druggist then upturned her right eyelid and with a magnet drew out four fragments of needles. A surgeon of the hospital at La Salpetriere said in an interview that the case was quite unprecedexted. Needles inserted under theskin were known to have been borne through the muscles, but there was no record of a needle introduced into the stomach emerging from the lobe of the ear. Insucha case the needle must have traversed the skull which is incomprehensible. ee a Wine Bill Dieallowed. Morganton Dispatch, 19th The Comptroller of the Treasury has reaftirmed a decision of bis office disallowinga claim for $629 from Lieutenant Colonel J. W. Jacobs, deputy quartermaster general. The original decision of the Comptroller disallowed the amount for the reason that it was extended without auth- ority of law for subsistence, wines and liquor, furnished foreign milli- taryattaches accompanying thearmy into the field. On June 3rd, 1898, General Shaf- ter, who was then at Tampa, tele graphed the Secretary of War that representatives of the fcreign gov- ernmentshad come to him with prop er credentials, permitting them to accompany the army of the United States. General Shafter said thac he desired to entertain these officers in the manner due their position and forthis purpose he requested $2,000 of the contingent fund of the army be placed tothe credit of his uide decamp, Lieutevant J.D. Mi- ley. The Secretary of War approv- ed the request and a warrant for $2,000 was sent to Colonel Jacobs as er ave ere. ment, the money to be extended un- der the verbal direction of General Shafter. The Comptroller decided that the expenditure was entirely il- tecal, ee ee Mr. Kruger’s Thrift and Prowess. New York Press. Kruger’s salary as President of the South African Republic was 335,000 a year, and his unnumerable perquisites and extra allowances amounted to twice that sum. Dur- ing the gold fever he accumulated a great fortune, estimated at $30,000,- 000, and many persons believe he did not leave it all behind when he fled from Tratsvaal. Kruger is a very relicious mau, as Boer religion goes. Ali the education he bas was derived from diligent study of the great family Bible. He early be- came 2a ‘‘Dopper,’” one of that straightest and severest sect of the Reformed Dutch church, and even shone asa lay preacher. His reli- gious training addicted him to the wearing of black broadcloth, and in many years his clothes have been made of no other material. As a young man Kruger was unapproach- ed in prowess. His muscular strength was prodigious. He was famous for his stont courage, his skill as a hunter and his long-head- edness. He slew great quantities of big game, and his running powers were such that he could keep up awhile with a good horse. _—— > per ee Robbed a Gambling House. Memphis, Tenn., Dispatch, 19th. Two men, with drawn revolvers, robbed Ben Marsh’s gambling house early to day. They spent three minutes in the place and secured over $3,000 No clue bas been secured as to their identity. Marsh and his assistants were bal- anucing the cash after the night’s play when the robbers rusbed inte the room. A purse on tho table contained $2,500, while Jfarsh held $500 in his hand. The four men in the room were ordered to lie on the floor or be killed. They quickly obeyed and the robbers snatched the money in sight. Then the robbers orcerea Marsh and the others to stand up aud went through their pockets. The gamblers made no re sistance, as they were threatened with instant death. Only a smal! amount was found in the pockets of the victims and, covering the in- mates with revolvers, the robbers backed from tke room and escaped So far the police have found no clue to the robbers. -—_—s oa Relying on Prayer toCure Smallpcx, New Haven, Conn., Dispatch, 20th Except Dr. Studman, of Southing- ton, and Dr. Frank W.

The New Pension Law trquirtes mace Steer In answer to wany mation Genceroing the gaisinn act vassed by the Legist ture at tis re- we write the foliow- Coot session, ing In the first place a!] persens de- | siring a pension must make 2 plica- | tien to their county board on the; first Monday in vext July This in-| cludes not only those who have nov heretofore received a pension, bit! also alithose who have been receiv: | ing pensions. This is required be- | enuse it is alleged that tkere are| some drawing pensions, who are not) entitled to them. Blank appiica-| tions can be obtained from the clerks | of the Superior Court, and should be | filled up before July. If the apph cant is unable to appear befcre the county beard on the first Mouday in July be orshe must¢end a certiticate from a practising physician stating that the applicant cannot personally appear, as no doubt may be the case with many teretcfore no soldier could receive a pension in foucth class unless bis Gisability was caused by a ‘vound received while in the Confederate service. The vew law changes this and vives a pension cf the fourth class ($30 a year) to soldiers who are now disabled from any cause to per forin manual labor. In the fourth class pensioners are included the wid ows of Confederate soldiers who were married before April 1st. 1861, aud have vot married again. Ac cording to the old law the only wid- ows entitled'toa pension were the widowsiofsoldiers who had died dur- ing the war, or after. the war from wounds or disease contracted in the service. Thenew law gives a pen- sion to the widow of a soldier who has died at any time or from any cause. i But no soldier or widew can get a pension who owns over $000 worta of property. The old jaw bas vot been changed in this respect. The new law will place‘on the pen- sion roll many needy and deserving veterans and widows, who were ex- cluded by the oldjaw. And thenew examination required by the new law, may take from the pension roll the names of some persons, who are not entitled to a pension. very county board ought to be very care- ful and scrutinize closely every ap- plication, remember that every un- worthy pensioner will diminish the smali pittance that is given to the needy and deserving. i According to the last report of the State Auditor there were last year, 6,129 Confederate pensions In this State. of whom 2,558 were wid ows. The total amount paid these pensioners last yeat was $115,079. The amount appropriated by the new pension law is $290,000 a year. But while this amount is so mncn larger than heretofore, each peu- sioner will not get much more than heretofore because there will be so many more persons entitled to pen- sions. The fourth class pensions (of whom there were 4,984) received last year only $14.50 apiece. new jaw allows them $30 apiece, but it is not probable thatthey will get The over $20. Weso much wish that our State was able to pay every poor old pensioner as large ao amount ashe weeds and deserves. —_—— The Strike Averted. Pittsburg, Pa., Dispatch, roth. There will be no strike in the plants of the American Sheet Stee: Company. The trouble that broke out in the Dewees Wood plant, ip McKeesport last week, and for which astrike was threatened, of all union iron and steel workers in the coun- try, has been settled in ax amicable manner. An agreement was reach- ed to re-instate the men claimed to have been discharged for joining the union and to maiatain existing scale and other working conditicaus until July 1, 1901. In explination of this agreement, it was stated that the matter will reinain in exactly the same position as before the trouble broke cut. The organization of the locat assaci- ation of the Amalgamated Associa- tion among the employes of tie mill will be continued, though the com- pany will not recognize it in any way indealing with the men. The Amalgamated Association stated that they did not wish the company to recognize their organiz ition at present and simp!y asked tke com- pany to allow the men do as they pleased and act with freedom: when outside of the mill. The company officials, on the other hand, say that so long as the joca! workers a2mnong their men do not try to force recog- nition and the men work usder the personal agreement with them, they would not allow auy feeling against the men. Both sides are -xiisfied and the strike that existed for a week has really, accordinx to the officers on both sides, been due en- tirely to a misunderstand:ny be- tween the two sides of the dispute. The settlement wiil briny the mat- ter to an issue, itis said, wh-a the scale for the coming year is brought up for settlement. Both Equally Bad. Norfolk Pilot-Virginian. The Democratic party is not the party of the Trust or isit th par- ty of the Anarchist. It holds ‘by neither extreme. It would check both extremes (both equatly bad) through just and wise laws impar- tially administered. Watch the fellow whois moutking of Democratic radicalism, and in nine cases out of ten you willtind that he is engaged in an attempt to subvert the established order, to un- dermine or over-ride the laws, to se- cure special privileges from the State, or to escape his share of pub- lie burdens; or he is the paid tool of some concern that is doiay these things. He would rob thousands through the law, or in spite of it, but he-poses as ultra-conservative, as the chief and stay of thelaw! The Democratic party takes no stock in ‘‘dress-coat anarchy,”’ or in bewhiskered anarchy. nor in dress- coat or bewhiskered _ Trusts; there is no difference. It is accused ot be. ing the party of “‘isms’’ by its ene mies, acd yet the men who affect the “‘isms’’ voted the Republicac ticket in the last two elections, aud were largely responsible for Republican victory. A Trust Attorney General, who wiil not enforce the law, is the exponent of an ‘,ism’’ quite as much as the Socialist, or the Anarchist. He is just as radical. He wou'd not only destroy thelawbut dees des- troy it. by making it a dead letter. “‘T had piles so bad [ could get no rest nor find a cure until I tried De- Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve.
