For.the Farmer and Mechanic
For Treasurer, or Secretary Of
State.

Mr.. EDITOR: When our State faith
ers were me1htatlng a final separation
from England and the formation of a
permanent State constitution at Halifax
in April, lI16, the voters of the State
were earnestly urged by circulars sent
all over North Carolina to send TO the
Legislature their best men men who
knew the condition of State affairs, and
were conversant with the necessities
and demands of the PEOPLE-not of a
lew leading men OF class. And now
alter this long time al Of US think they
acted wisely.
Why now, Mr.. Editor, should we not
initiate our old fathers, look around
among our friends, neighbors and ac-
Q~uaiDtances, and find men, real, true.
honest, capable men, who are now
among and IF the people, not in office,
nor have been, and send them To our
capitol next January to look after the
various Interests and matters of State

have watched our ape nominations
with interest, and am glad to see that
several have hit upon, | think, the right
man for State Treasurer JAMES ;. BAT
TIE, of Nash. Mr.. b. was prepared by
HOrner, and educated at the University.
He joined the cavalry as a private, and
was with Lee when he surrendered. He
is a successful farmer, and was called
from his pillow in 1880 to the State Sen
ate, and reelected in 1888. Was chair
man OF the committee on Propositions
and Grievances, and on Finance Com
mittee. and the records show that in
and out of season Mr.. Battle was al
ways at his post working for the well
fare of all North Carolina, taking as
much interest and concern for the wants
OF Watauga as of Hyde. As member
of Board of Trustees and of University
Canvassing Board, and State Dem. Elk.

he has done his duty fully, and shlrked
neither responsibility nor trouble. He
is now secretary and treasurer of the
Rocky Mount Cloth Mills, the largest
OF the kind in the State.
Mr.. Battle will have little new to
learn, having been treasurer for the last
20 years. He is strong, both physically
and intellectually, of unsurpassed exec
utive ability and quick in logical deduc-
tons, in the prime of life, about 40,
with a mind unclouded by the use of in
toxicating beverage and a body able to
bear the wearing and fatiguing labors of

you well know, but a plain citizen.

Certain Of the Gentle Sex" so
called, made things lively for the panti-
loone6 party of the first part last week.
Mrs. Schulz, wife ola noted Jewish Rabbi,
horse-whipped a store-keeper named
Hirschberg, In Austin, Texas. And at
Wharton, Texas, Mrs. James L. Mattison,
whose husband had killed G. S. Blythe
wood in a gambling quarrel, took post on
a bridge an I emptied her revolver at the
pursuing posse, keeping them at bay
until he escaped. And in Brooklyn a
Mrs. Elsinger tried to keep some railroad
men from tearing mp the Pavement in
front of her residence, when she saw her
words had no effect she walked into the
crowd of laborers. and stepping on the
stone which the builders wished to reject,
she shook her fis:s at the workmen and
overseers, and declared that This rock
shall fly from its firm base as oon as l.
A crowd soon gathered and encouraged
her with shouts, aud for a little while 1t
was doubtful what the result ofthe queer
contest would be. The foreman, how
ever, sooD solved the problem. He
caused the workmen to dig around the
stone, being very careful not to touch the
lady. As many men as could get around
it then took it up and steadily carried it
in front of the adjoining house where
they put it down, Mrs. E~isinger still
standing on it. Work on the foundation
was her commenced.

No NEED FOR MORE SOLDIERS =
A STRONGER GovERNMENT.-For the
past ten days IN and about the capital
| have heard this expression. The Gin
cinnati riots is the excuse for the revival
of the reasonable uiterance. 1t is not
new at all. The expression and the
desire was born with and is nourished
by the Vanderbilts, Goulds and mono
Gratis, who are slowly but sure getting
their grip on the throat of the Republic.
They want their wealth protected, and
are not willing to trust it to the people
for protection. Here lies peril.
A stronger Government means a Gov
eminent not OF the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people. 1t means anoth-
er kind of Government it means treason
to this Government. The talk in favor
of a strong Government is altogether
too frequent here at the nations capitol.
But the advocates of another, a treason
able Government, and not only numer-
Gus, but rich, powerful are quite shame
less in their zeal for a change. Citizens,
stand by your guns against this. Better
that all Europe should assail the Union
from without than that such a notion
should get foothold within. I'VE, the
people, This is the reading of it. And
we the people, can settle all local trou-
bles without resort to organized armed
forces.
As for the riot. sad and serious as il
was, there was nothing national in it at
all ]; only a local matter and quite with
in the scope of municipal management.
A shame upon the city for calling out
its "counter-iumpers" to be laughed at
by the mob, too. The New York police
would have settled it even at It's worst,
in five minutes. Let the people look to
their police force, and then count every
maj a traitor. who demands "a stronger
government joaquin Miller IN Cou-

A DRUMMER DEATH-TRAPpED

A DEATH-TRAPPED.-
NoShriHe, 4priI l3.-Myer Freedman,
a dry-goods drummer, fell into a death
trap set for him last night, and was lit
orally carved to pieces. The trap vas
formed by placing stones on the steps
leading from Freidman's room to the
front street door and placing two eighty
pound powders against the door SO it
could not be opened from the outside.
A lamp hanging in the hallway was
blown out, and as friedman came tumb-
ling down stairs over the ston on the
steps two men attacked him, n with a
buother-knife and the other with a bow
ider, cut him in SIX places, and beat his
head in with a stone. The left side of
his scalp was almost cut from his head.
Freidman's wife heard him fall, and
scream My God, / am gone,' as the
assassins struck him, and fastened to
the stairs in time to hear the blows
rained down. She screamed while the
fiends were doing their bloody work, and
the crowd fastened to the front door,
but could not get in because it vas
braced with powders. As soon as the
crowd commenced hallooing murder"
the assassins ran out the back way,
jumped over a stone fence and escaped.
There is not the slightest clew their
identity, except bloody footprints left by
one of them in the hall, showing a slen-
der, well-shaped shoe.

4 CoLoRED DUEL. Isaac Liggin OF

been selected as the posts of honor, the

body might get hurt" in such foolish

BELIEVED TO BE IN CANADA
Wadesboro, N. c., april l2.-It is now
believed here that Began Cash, the
South Carolina outlaw, is in Canada,
having fled the night of the day his
father, Colonel Cash, was captured.
"A private letter from Col. Cash to
the Register states that Began Cash will
surrender to Sheriff Spofford when the
court for Chesterfield county convenes
and stand his trial. This notification,
when coupled with Col. Cash's remarka-
BILE appeal for money for Chesterfield suf
@ferers, induces many people to believe
that Roggan is really going to stand his
trial.
