NORTH CAROLINA's NEGROES.
Gov. Fowle's Address on the Opening
of Their State Fair.

Gov. Fowle's Address on the Opening
of Their State Fair.
RALEIGH, N. O., Oct. 23-Gov. Fowle
to-day opened the eleventh annual colored
state fair here and spoke to large audience
of negroes He referred to the action of the
Chicago negroes in appointing a day of
fasting and prayer for the southern
negroes, and said his auditors were as happ v
as any people on the face of the earth, an d
were protected in all their rights, and he
pledged them that the whole power of the
state would be exercised in their behalf
just as much as in behalf of white
men. The white man in the
south, he said, is well disposed
toward the negroes, and this feeling is
reciprocated. The negro schools and
asylums in North Carolina are as well
cared for as those of the whites. The
Chicago negroes who have sought to set a
day of fasting and humiliation will never
enjoy the same attributes of freedom as the
North Carolina negroes. They never even
see the inside of jury box. Rev. Leak
(colored), secretary of the fair, Endorsed
Gov. Fowles remarks.

A YOUNG FIHND's CONFESSION.
Wesley Elkins Tells How He Murdered
His Parents.
From the Ne,o York Herald.


From the Ne,o York Herald
DUBUQUE. IA, Oct 1.-THE grand jury
of Clayton county has found an indictment
against Wesley Elkins, the 11-year-old boy
who murdered his parents five miles north
east of Edgewood last July. The only
evidence against him was his own confess
sion, in which he said: II wanted to get
away from home. I had run away from

the house just before sunrise on the
morning of July 16, and went softly Into

FLoRIDA'S ORANGE UNION.
The Good Effects OF Its Organization
Already Felt.

The GOOD Effects OF Its Organization
Already Felt.
WELAKA, FLA, Oct 23.-The orange
union, Of which favorable mention has
been made Of late in the MORNING NEWS,
is growing every day and seems just the
thing to secure fair treatment for the grower
as well as the buyer. The strength of the
orange union is being felt at this early
date, as almost every grower has joined
with the intention OF staying. Already
buyers are among the growei making con
tracts for the fruit, generally per box, on
the tree, 81 being readily given. and of en-
up to 81 %. The latter price will be about
the average this season.
A HOME MARKET.
One of the objects of the union is to COM
pei buyers to come here and buy. II they
do not come, the growers will saip through
the union, which is composed of the best
business men in the state, and is co-opera-
tive with the Florida Fruit Exchange.
Those VINO now ship to irresponsible COM
mission men are expected to reap their de-
served reward-i. e., TO get no returns. This
has been done for years, until oranges we're
felt by their owners to be of very uncertain
value.
COSTLY EXPERIENCE.
The very short experience the writer had
VAoh OhO "a buCco ONcI
merchants cost $3.50. That loss has been
we'll advertised and turned to good account
in getting members to join the orange
union. The general expression is to let the
fruit rot on the trees, rather than be duped
by false testimonials, etc, etc. No honest
commission man can complain when he
finds there is fixed value on the fruit. He
Is not then at the mercy of dishonest men,
who can sell at any low prizes, expecting to
make no returns.
SAVANNAH A GOOD MARKET.
Savannah is often a good market, and
from its location should be a good dis
tributing point. There are many good, re-
liable dealers there.
The orange crop through this section is a
good half crop, and the fruit finer than
in many years. and see ms to be farther ad-
vanced at this season than in previous years
at the same time, showing coloring even
now. There are not MANY rusty ones.
The stand the MORNING NEWS takes on all
that tends to the welfare of Florida is much
| appreciated by its readers.

Right OF Confscation of Property
Upheld.
Dies MONIES, IA, Oct 2S-Iu the cases
OF J. NJ. Craig, appellant, VS. Wurthueller
and Endy, ct al, aud J. M. Craig, appel
liant, vs.. Berthold Rosen, ct al, decision
has been handed down by the supreme
court, prepared by Judge Given, in which
several old features and some new ones of
the prohibitory law are passed upon.
Among the questions is the right of the
state, by legislative enactment, to confscate
the personal property of the defendant
without process of law. it being claimed
that the statutes authorizing such procedure
are in conflict with the constitution Of the
United States and Of Iowa.
THE OPINION.
The opinion holds that in criminal
action for nuisance against a man, the
place kept by him is on trial also, and that
therefore there Is due process of law. This
is matter that has been much discussed,
and involves grave question of the extent
OF the powers of the state legislature. The
property rendered valueless by this order
of the court exceeds $400, 900 in value, and
consists of breweries in the city of Burling-
ton. The case will probably be taken to
the United States supreme court.
