Two more Murders in James
County.

We published last week an o%ccountof
the killing Of Henry Narncll and the
wounding of Mr.. Lowe. The next
morning a thorough search was insti-
tutcd for the murderers, and a number
of men were arrested on suspicion,
among others two men named Griiley
and Brooks. The latter two were held
the evidence against them being strong.
They were given in charge of two
officers. Mr., Sam MattoX and DR.. Nor
man. As the district Ia which the
murder occurred was some distance
from the county Jail, 1t was found inn
practicable to conduct the prisoners to
it ON the night Of their arrest, and they
were confined in n blacksmith shop
near the scene, closely guarded by
MattoX and Norman.
During the night, while MattoX was
asleep on the floor Of the blacksmith
shop. and Norman was keeping cure
tul guard, Il slight noise was heard out
side. and simultaneously two rifles were
discharged, sending their lcaden mes
scngcrs of death through the brains of
the two prisoners, Brooks and Griney,
causing instant death.
The only plausible theory for tho
murder of Brooks and Grirey is that it
was committed by the friends of Var
nell, who, either fearing to drag the
men out TO be lynchcd or putting more
iaiu in their rifles, anticipated the law
by their bloody, dastardly deed.
The excitement in the ncighborhood
Is so great that the men under arrest
were compelled to be moved from the
scene Of the murders aud kept under
constant guard for fear of lypching.

WHO ARE THE REPUBLICANS
OF OUR STATE?

We are informed that certain
class Of men in the West who have
affiliated with the party heretofore
only for the sake of Office are en-
deavOring to make war on Hon. W.
P. Canaday, of Wilmington.
1t will be remembered that in
1916 certain men of the West were
at the head Of our State Executive
Committee when the party was de-
feated and we think it i'll becomes
this same class of men to be bidding
to get the party reins to drive us to
defeat again. Mr.. Canaday is, and
has at all times been, a true and con-
sistent Republican, while the set Of
men who are disposed to fight him
have always been dead weight for
the party in North Carolina to car
ry. We have a class of men who
have been in Federal Offices since
1866 and notwithstanding they
held their positions at the hands of
Republican administration, they
have, invariably, from time to time
given the subordinate places in their
Offices to Democrats and they have
even, in their action been antagon-l
istic to the colored men Of our
State.
We advocate no mans claims to
Office on account Of his color, but il
does seem that the class Of men
above mentioned should justly feel
ashamed Of claiming to be Republi-
cans for the sake Of position and
after getting their ends accomplish
ed give the subordinate positions in
their Offices to the Democrats.
In Wayne county we have some
Of this stripe who have, time and
again, given the subordinate posi-
tons Of their Offices to Democrats
merely to pander to the wishes. Of
their Democratic friends n. There
has never been q colored man who
held q clerkship in any Of the Fed
eral Offices in Wayne county, and it

ZION CONFERENCE AT
BEAUFORT " c.
DEC. end 1881.

Owing to the illness ofhis Rever-
ency Rt. Rev. J. W. Hood, the con-
ference was opened by Elder w. j..
Moore, presiding Elder ofthe Wash,
ingRn district, by reading the 46th
division of srd chapter Eph.' El-
der II. G. Phillips read hymn,
s'Grant me within thy courts etc.
sung by the conference, and prayer
by Elder III. G. Phillips.
The Bishop having arrived, the
conference proceeded to business.
The report Of Pauls Chapel, Tar
boro, N. g. gave rise to . lengthy
discussion which drew words Of adj
vice from Rev. Jacob Thomas Of
New York.
The Bishops annual address was
full Of muah encouraging advice for
the future prospects relative to the
name ofzion in Europe. He also
spoke very cncOuragingiug relative
to the future hope Of Zion Wesley
i
Institute, stating that friends Of the
institution in Europe had taken
quite an interesting part in perpet-
uoting the Institution and that the

We have one more name to adj

ago under the head of Chewing
the Pudding Mr.. John r. Smith
Post Master at this place, after ma.
ture consideration has at last APP
pointed colored man to the posi-
ton of Assistant Post Master in his
Office.
We are pleased to see Mr.. Smith
reform from the " cussedness of his
ways" and extend the hand of fel-
lowship to his colored brother, and
we trust Mr.. Hatcher will prove to
be an efficient and obliging officer
and show to the people that negro
is capable of doing duties other than
cleaning lamps and spittoons, sweep
ing out and making fires.
Mr.. Hatcher has been q student
Of Lincoln University in Pennsylva-
mia, for years and is capable of dis
charging the duties of Assistant
Post Master.

They then proceeded to read a fe,
Of our Republicans out Of the part,
and to denounce the nominee 0
the District for having the effrontery
and audacity to come here and &C
cept the nomination at the hands O
the District Convention.
In all our experience of Conven.
lions this one headed the list and
when committee of three were ap.
pointed to 60 out and look up the
man whom they nominated for Con-
gress and bring him in to accept
the same, it was like inviting the
prodigal son to feed on the fatted
calf.
1t was amusing to see the break
ing up Of the Convention, Greene
county was represented by two men
who we're by no means discreditable
to the association of +" Bosses and
each, as he finished his little say and
subsidized into his seat, felt that all
humanity and some others owed
them heap of eternal gratitude for
their labored services on that mo-
mentous occasion.
When a set of bosses resort
to the indignity of dealing in rot
gut whiskey and using money to
secure delegates to sit in their Con
ventions we'll may the people be-
come Disguised with their work.
And oh ! what consistency they use
something like the following:
Hire delegates and give them whis-
key and money to make nomina-
lions for them. But when an in
;elligent, respectable colored man
asks for position he is spoken of
Is an Ignorant niger thief
When the Republicans Of North
Carolina will bring to the front the
white men Of their party who have
lcted from principle and battled
With the tide of public opinion; when
white Republican was ostracised
n his social circles and let the COL
red men OF this State unite with
hem We will have our efforts crown
d with victory and redeem our
State from corrupt and nefarious
avs which now Cypress us as peo-
Die. We will then go to work and
elect our Magistrates, County Com
nissioners &C., and act as an intel
igent, free people. The humblest
citizen of our State is ineligible to
vote for President Of the United
States, Governor, Congressman, &c.,
'ut has not got sense enough to vote
or Magistrate nor County Cow
nissioners.
With Everett, Canaday, W. A.
Cooper, Mott, and others of our
,cst men in the lead, North CARROLL
ia will redeem her credit in 1882.

that, on that account he could not
raise the funds due the conference.
Thereupon the Bishop gave Elder
Smyer a good rasping to the point.
Bishop said that class meetings was

some leaders did not pay a cent,
