by the band to petty offenders, but
nothing occurred to attract widespread
attention until the Green-Eden affair.
which terminated in the downfall of
Bald-Knobbism. The Green-Edens
killing occurred in March, 1887. At
point eight miles southeast of Ozark,
near the Edens' dwelling, John Evans
was whipped by the Bald KD0bbers for
misbehaving in church. Old man
Eden, friend of Evans, interfered and
received four blows with the whip be-
fore Chief Walker interferred. This so
enraged Edens that he fearlesSly con-
demned the Bald-KnobberS, and on the
night of March 10, 1887, the band met to
cansider Edens' Offenses. There were
twentv-siX present, and, after brief de-
liberation, they proceeded TO the Edens
residence to punish the inmates. They
were met by resistance, and fired sew
eral volleys into the house, killing Will
lam Edens and Charles Green, his
brother-in-law, and seriously wounding
old man Edens. In the melee young
Walker was shot in the leg. The out
rage brought about elimination OF
public indignation, and Zach Johnson,
the fearless sheriff of Christian county,
with a picked posse, started after the
murderers, and, within forty-eighth
hours, had all save Bill Walker under
arrest. He was captured three weeks
later in Douglas county. where he had
gone for safety. At that time there was
NO JAIL IN OZARK
and the prisoners were taken to Spring
field, Mo-, for safekeeplng. A Jail was
promptly built, however, and the Bald
Knobbers transferred to Ozark, from
which place two of their number es-
capped last night. The first hearing of
| the Bald Knobber cases was in August.
1887, but Chief Walker was not tried
until April, 1883. In March, 1887, three
of the prisoners confessed, so the trial
of Dave Walker was merely formal, he
admitting the assault of the Bald Knob
be1s on the Eden home, but pleading he
| did not arrive until after the shooting
| had ceased. One of the most peculiar
features of Bald Knobbism is that the
majority Of the prominent members OF
the band are devout church members
Especially is this true of Chief Walker
who was temperance advocate and q
| generally devout man. He can not see
yet that the Bald Knob regulators were
other than champions of the right, who
made fatal but unavoidable mistake
in the Green-Eden killing. He has as
serted confidently all along that he

Stepping Stones to Success.

Rev. w. S. Greasy, pastor of Grace
street Methodist church, Wilmington,
recently delivered lecture for char
table object in that city, taking for
his subject "stepping Stones to Sue
cess" We copy the following from
the Messenger. 1t says:
The lecturer began his remarks with
an appropriate illustration, and then
discussed his subject under five heads,
showing what the stepping stones to
success are, viz:
First-We must have definite OBJ
ject in view, and strive to attain that
object with all our mind, heart, soul
and energy.
Second-That we must preserve our
individuality. Be ourselves and not
attempt to initiate Others, thereby fail
ing to emulate them, and distorting
whatever of success there might be in
our own individuality.
Third-That we must have manli-
ness and true courage.
Fourth-That we must persevere
Nothing is attained except by perse,
vering in our efforts.
Fifth-lVe must have moral energy
the most important prerequisite of all
The apex of the stepping stones tc
success was made out OF the point that
we must have moral energy to make
our success complete. The point wa:
made that we might take all the othel
steps and attain reputation and fame
but if we did not crown it with The
possession of moral worth our reputa
ton and fame were all in vain. The
lecturer illustrated this by narratinG
the sad examples of men who had at
tanned fame. and subsequently PROVED
failures at the last extremity, because
they did not have the moral force tC
sustain them.

In need Of more hands and more haste,
She directs his wrappers SO they can be

And writes his leaders right out of her head,
And willingly makes his paste.
She reads the magazines, papers and books,
As the cradle she softly rocks
While the editor sits in his easy chair,
With his fingers thrust in his tangled hair,
She quietly mends his socks.
Then she reads the al. with the editor,
just to find what each has paid.

CHARLOTTE & WELDON RAIL
ROAD.
First Contract Let Survey to Be
June Ist.
TCharlOtte Chronicle. |


Our new railroad to Weldon is an
assured fact. 1t is going to be built,
and no time is to be lost about it. A
meeting of the railroad committee of
the Chamber of Commerce, was held
yesterday, and the survey Of the entire
line from Charlotte to Weldon, was
given out. Captain John S. Webb,
chief engineer of the 3Cs company, Sc
cured the contract. He is to furnish
his own men and is to begin his work
on or before the first of June.
The first section Of the new survey
will be from Charlotte to Albemarle.
in Stanly county. Captain Webb says
that it will take him five months to com
plete the survey from Charlotte to Wei
don, as his work is to be of the most
complete character, showing the grade
in profile the entire distance. Capt.
Webb is a skillful engineer, and has a
very extensive experience IN this line
of work. His engineer work on the
Z. Is route is said to be the best in this
section of the country. He has all the
necessary equipments, in addition to
an experienced corps of men, and will
begin in Charlotte and make his bear
ings to Albemarle within the time
specified. He will have this section
finished up and ready for work within
| less time than month.
The reports from the subscriptions
are exceedingly encouraging, being
better, in fact, than has been antici-
pated. About $500, 900 in private
subscriptions have been secured, and
all this is outside Of the country sub
scriptions that will be voted. All the
pecuniary aid necessary for the build
ing of the road is guaranteed, and ar
rangements for commencing work or
the Charlotte end of the line are being
perfected as rapidly as possible, and il
will not be a very great while unit
we can go down by railroad te
see our neighbors in Stanly and Mont
! gomery counties.

THE THIRD PARTY.

Republican Party Put Ticket in the
Field.
(Wadesboro Messenger, |

The child is born ! 1t came into
life at Greensboro, n. C., May 10th,
1888. It's name is :. The Prohibition
Party" 1t seems to be a sickly babe,
and may die young but however long
may be the day of its pilgrimage they
will be full of evil
Some months ago the Messenger
sounded the alarm, and warned the
people of North Carolina against
all orders and societies that could
possibly weaken Democracy.
Temperance is a good thing drunk
enness is dreadful calamity; but what
language can properly portray the at
titude of gentlemen who for any rea-
son leopard White Supremacy in North
Carolina, and run the hazard of kindl-
ing the pandemonian fires that once
desolated this fair land !?
so, Judgment Thou art fled to british
beasts /;
And men. have lost their reason
But the child is born, and now the
patriotic duty devolves upon every
man to throttle it in its swaddling
clothes.
On the 16 of May, 1888, the North
Carolina Prohibition Convention as
sembled in the city of Greensboro,
and nominated State ticket, to be
voted for in the approaching election,
which is as follows For Governor,
w. +. Walker, of Greensboro for
Lieutenant Governor, Moses Ham
mond, of Randolph; for Treasurer,
H. NJ. Dixon, of Alamsnace for
Auditor, ]. NJ. Winstead, of Green's
boro ; for Superintendent of Public
Instruction, n. {. English, of Ran
dolph for Congress in fifth district, S.
]. Montague, of Winston /; for Congress
in the seventh district, c. 2. Frazier,
Of Randolph. This is by no means a
full ticket, nevertheless, it will be
seen that two of the nominees reside in
Greensboro, and three of them live in
Randolph; but when it is known
that there were SO few delegates in the
Convention, it is surprising that all
the delegates were not taken from the
same township.
We do not know the nominees
personally, but we presume they are
gentlemen honored and respected in
the neighborhood in which they live.
1t is now in their power to do the
State some service by declining to ac-
cept the nomination that has been
rendered them. Let them do this al
once, and the so-called Convention
will do no harm. But, if they enter
the canvass, they will forfeit the re-
spect of honorable men, and bury the
Prohibition Party never to rise again
Suppose that Mr.. Walker, and his
associates, take five thousand votes
from the Democratic party, IS it not
evident that it gives the State to the
Republicans? No sane man believe:
that the Prshibitionists can win in this
race, and any man who accepts their
nomination, with these facts before
him becomes the ally of the Republi-
cans, and the open enemy of White
Supremacy in North Carolina.

Do Some thing.
Methodist Recordcr.l

Do not spend your precious time in
wishing, and watching, and waiting
for something to turn up. If you do.
you may wish, and watch, and wait
forever. Things don't turn up Of
themselves ; you must turn them up.
You can do it if you will, but you
must put forth the effort. Idleness
and Indifference never accomplished
anything. 1t takes energy and push
to make headway in the world. And
an active, energetic, persevering man
is sure to succeed. If he can't do one
thing he will do something else. If
he can not succeed in one direction,
he will IN some other He will do
something. He will not waste his
time in idleness. There is no lack of
work, no lack Of opportunities. Do
what comes to your hand,- and do it
we'll. True progress is from the less
to the greater. You must begin low
if you would build high. Work is or
dinarily the measure of success. Quit
resolving and resolving, and go and
do something.
