RUBE BURROWS
The Outlaw Still at Large and
Making for Tennessee.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, October 2S.-Noth-
ing has been heard from Blount county
to-day except that Rube Burrows is still
at large, and the pursuers need more
dogs. Effort is being made to secure
dogs here, and if they are obtained a
special train will leave with them to-
night. The sheriff of Blount county asked
the governor for he lp last night, and this
morning he sent train out with twenty
picked men. A report reached this city
to-day that on yesterday afternoon
another officer had been killed, but
this is unconfrmed, and is most proba-
bly, false. The situation is unchanged.
Rube and his partner are making to-
wards the Tennessee river, and the sher-
ifs posse follow under difficulties. No
body is willing to get very close to the
outlaws as they are expert marksmen
ami fire from ambush The impression
is growing that it is not Rube Burrows
that the sheriff is following. These men
go along the highroad stopping at houses
and inquiring their way. Rube has never
done this but after being seen has always
disappeared utterly until his next rob-
bing. There are two moonshiners who
have been dcfying arrest and doing
bloody work in Bibb county. One OF
them lives in Jackson county and that is
the direction in which the pair are going.

Bethany township, died at West Point
on Thursday, as announced here by tcle.
gram. His father was in Virginia and
reached him in an unconscious state be-
fore his death His mother left here
Thursday. He will be buried at Luray,
Virginia There is some mystery con-
.nected with his death. Hewas found un-
conscious under a hickory nut tree. 1t
was supposed he had a stroke of apo,
plexy, but the News-O Observer says it is
the presumption that he had climbed up
into the tree and fallen from it. He was
regarded here as a young man of good
habits and of much promise.

Over in Virginia the skull of Black
beard, the pirate, is preserved in the form
of drinking cup. This has interest for
North Carolinians, as Blackboard made
a speciality of sweeping our coast. He
was a clever old sea dog in his way.
Murder was nothing to him. A plucky
British officer met Backwards ship one
day off our coast and fought him to the
death. The pirate crew was dispatched
in short order.

what He Sees and What He
Thinks About 1t.

The removal of the postoffice to the
court house square is sensible move
The nonsense i'll this postotfice business
however, is in the parsimony of Uncle
Sam in not supplying money enough for
the postmaster to hire suitable space to
accommodate the Office. The attention
of Postmaster General Wanamaker is di-
rected to this important matter. Hereis
an excellent opportunity to dispose of a
part of the much talked about surplus.
1t also behooves the general management
of the postoffice department to see to it
that New York mails for Western North
Carolina are not delayed from twelve to
twenty-four hours. Of course there are
all sorts of excuses for these delays. But
what the people want is prompt deliv-
cry and not excuses.

Weddings in cotton bagging costumes
seem to be on the increase. The example
of couple so married at the Raleigh
fair is now followed by double wedding
in bagging suits at the Atlanta exposi-
ton. The wonder is that wedding
couples should seek such publicity. Mar
rage is the one event of mans life. in
which the ordinary mind accepts formal
ity and dignity. 1t is not an occasion of
light moment to those who appreciate
what the ceremony means.

\ SWINGING CIRCULAR.
Republicans of Arkansas Issue Mani
 festo 10 the Voters.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, March 26.- [Special Dispatch to Globe Dem. - The following circular, which will cause genuine sensation Tn politi- cal circles, was issued to-day by the Republican State Central Commit tee. The State is being flooded with them:
 To the voters of Arkansas: At the dawn of the christian religion nearly 1900 years ago, it was pro- clalmed: By their fruits ye shall know them On the 2lst of March, 1889, convention O; the Demo- cratic party was called to meet in the city of Little Rock, 10 nominate three candidates for Judges of the Supreme Court. In view of tLe frauds practiced at the September and November elections, and in view of the ballot-box thetts ard intimidation which prevailed at those elections, and in view of the professions of regret publicly y ex. pressed over the assassination of John NJ Clayton, it was hoped that delegates to the convention would put forth candidates for the vacan- cies on the supreme bench whose names would be a terror to ballot box thieves, and would inspire a belief in the minds of All honest men that the day was not far distant when fair election and an honest count would become the rule of law as well as conduct. For Il years Pulaski county has been known as being tho home of the most ex- pert, unprinsipled ballot-box thieves m the State, and Il Demo cratic House of Representatives was compelled to turn out of that body four benofciaries of such thefts, who were so lost to the sense of fshame and dscency and whose standard of morality was so low that they persisted in holding on to that which they knew was obtained by theft, yet one of PulaskPs sons was chosen 10 preside over tue con ventior and another, who was de. feated for the office of sheriff ny 1900 or more votes, was chosen to act as sergeant-at-arms The Pulaski frauds and methods had to be in. iorsed, and they were indorsed. It is true that Pulaski came into that convention with IS less votes than il had in the convention that nomi- hated Eagle fer Governor, but they ndorsed tho Pulaski methods by choosing none but Pulasklans to run l the convention. simon P. Hughes received 9 greater number of votes in that convention than any other candidate, and was declared the nomlnee for the party for Supreme Judge. He lives in Pulaski county

There is one minister out in Kan

His neighbOrs being afflicted with
the color prejudice so common in
American communities, object to his

Their disapproval was expressed in
an anonymous note of warning in
which Mr.. Davis was notified to
leave or incur punishment. The val
liant preacher writes that he at once
secured brace of revolvers and re-
ceived permission from the proper
authorities to defend himself. He
emphasizes hia position by the an

Negro as Scientist. "This subject
has its pecularities. While we have
many Negroes who have done some
thing for science, still they are not
recorded. We have Benjamin Ban
maker the greatest Astrologer of this
day. Edison bought his idea of
Electricity, of a Negro. The names
OF Granville, Mccoy, and others
will ever be recorded in the domain
of science. The great drawback
among Negroes is the lack of means
to bring their works before the pub
lie. The race stands abreast of the
age as inventors and discovers.

by j. G. Price, in 1861. Mr.. Price
entered the army, taking William
with him, and both were under fire
at Fort DoDelson. On leaving the
army Mr.. Price located in Cairo,
ILL.,, where he employed German
tutor to instruct his adopted son.
After acquiring a good English
school education, he began to read
law, but his health failed: but he had
the good fortune to meet and asso-
ciate with Hon. ]. j. Bird, Hon. w.
7. Scote, ]. Milton Turner and near
ly all of the leading colored men of
that day, which associations inspired
the young man with desire to be
something himself.
In 1868 he went to Texas and
taught school, while he perfected his
law studies and was admitted to the
practice Of law; was elected County
Attorney and County Judge.
In 1876 he went to Louisiana and
