gTAli the murders committed now-a-
days are charged to '.ku klux' A ras-
cal who wants to kill his man has only to
hide in ambush and shooting him down pin
a ku klux csrd Of warning to his coat--and
every body forthwith cries out 'ku klux r
The ku klux no doubt have sins enough to
atone for, but VIC have no idea they are
guilty Of half the crimes charged to them.
Il strikes US that We heard Of one or two
outragcs before ku klux sprang into exis-
tence, and it wouldn't surprise us if out
RACES are still pcrpetrated that they have
no hand in. Let US not be understood al
apologising in the least for ku klux, fof We
are dead against men taking the law in

advice Gratis.

Perhaps some folks will call US "Rad-
ical'' for volunteering to give the Conserv-
ativc party in this Congressional district a
bit of wholesome advice, which We proceed
to do:
II YOU desire to send white man to con-
grcss instead Of Harris, colored, what il
your policy? Is it to nominate red hot
Conservative? Not at all. If you beat
Harris you must run a conservative Re
Hs1kins who Nc learn IS a Radical Repub-
lican.) you must do the same.
When the Conservative Convention met
III the city Of New. York two years ago to
nominate candidates for the Presidency, we
counsclcd the nomination Of Chief Justice
Chase for Presideat-why? Because-al-
though there were many men We preferred
to him-we thought him the most available
man to beat Gen.. ulysses s. Grant. But
our counsels went UNDECIDED Conservatives
II The ''straitest scots in the persons Of
Seymour 4 Blair were noninated--and
what was tie result? Why, to say nothing
Of the National L,teHigaaeer, n. Y. World
and others proposing to throw them over
board and run Justice Chace, just before
the election, they we're badly beaten. Had
Judge Clasa and Gen. Hancock been the
nominees, Gen. Grant would have been de-
tested.
Considering tie material of Congress il
strikes US that Conservative Republican.
could accomplish Us more good in Congress
than a democratic or extreme Conservative.

Let ms have Rail Road TO south BOSTON,
We are in favor Of a Rail- Road from this
town to South Boston, Va, and we favor
calling on the next Legislature for char
ter and aid to build it. This Road would
be great help to Grange and Person and
would bea valuable feeder to the N. G. r..
Road and the Richmond and Danville r..
Road. 1t would be well to connect itwith
the Fayetteville and Chatham Rail Road,
and thus give an. outlet to the products
of the Cape Fear region. Let the candi-
dates aspiring sor seats in the Legislature
in Orange and Person give this matter SER
ious consideration. The people need some-
thing better than political gossip. III oth-
er Counties can get State assistance to con-
struct Rail Roads, why should not Orange
and Person get tasteg They have con-
tributed heavily TO build Roads for other
sections that in no way interest them.
The Road from here to South Boston
via Roxborough, could be run in As or so
miles 1t would pass through a wealthy
portiono of Halifax county, Va, and the
people there would lend material aid to
build it. Richmondwould also help, and
50 too would the r. and ID. Rail Road.
The ball is in motion, let it roll on.
