[Morganton Herald.l

The west-bound afternoon passenger
train on the W. n. G. railroad last
Saturday carried two extra parlor cars,
which were occupied by party of Eng
lish prospectors in charge of Mr.. Alex.
A. Arthur, President of the Middles-
borough Town Company, of Middlesbor-
ough, Ky. Mr.. Arthur, who is an Eng
lishman, has secured millions of English
capital for investment in various enter
prises in Kentucky, Tennessee and North

investments in magnetic iron ore lands
in Mitchell county, North Carolina, near
the celebrated Cranberry iron mines,
purchasing among other properties the
lands of Miss L. NJ. Avery, of Morgan n
ton, which are in the Cranberry iron belt
We may expect active development IN q
that section before long. and the tour ol
the English capitalists through western
North Carolina may result in other large
Investments.

JUDGE GRANT DEAD.
A North CarOlinian Who Found Fame
and Fortune in the West, is Dead.

A North Carolinian Who Found Fame
and Fortune in the West, is Dead.
JUDGE JAMES GRANT, a native of North
Carolina, died few days ago in Oak
land, California. He went to Davenport,
Iowa, early in life and became a dis
tinguished member of the bar, and held
number of public positions, among
Others that Of district Judge. He had
large property interests in California as
well as Iowa, and left an estate of half q
million of dollars.
Judge Grant was born in Halifax
county in 1912; graduated at the Uni
versity with A. B. in 1881 and received
a. NJ. in 1886; and was made LID. by
the University in 1898. He was the son
of Comptroller Grant, who lived in Ral-
eigh many years, and who is buried in
Oakwood Cemetery. After graduating
at the University, Judge Grant taught
school in Raleigh several years and then
moved to Davenport, Iowa, and practic-
ed law. He served in the General AS
sembly and was Superior Court Judge
from 1916 to 1851, and was Speaker OF
the House in 1852. He was near
kinsman of Judge Spier Whitaker and
visited him in Raleigh last year upon
his return from the Chapel Hill com
| mancement.

THE IRISH MUDDLF.
MIR. Parnell will Resign and Seek an
Election From Cork.

he
DUBLIN, March, 20.-The Freemans
Journal to-day says that rumor pre-.
walls that Michael Davitt will appear as
candidate in opposition to Mr.. Parnell
at the next election in the Northern di.
vision of Cork which the latter now rep
resents. The Journal in attending
to explain away Mr.. Parnell's practical
back down in regard TO the matter of
MIR. Healey'S challenge, says that the
former gentleman does not intend that
anything shall be permitted to distract
his attention from the approaching polit-
ical battle in North Sligo. The Nation
al Press (McOarthyite) contents itself
with contemptuous remarks, that it is
not surprised to find Mr.. Fox backing
out.
LONDON, March 2O.-It is definitely
stated that Mr.. Parnell will resign and
| offer himself to the electors Of Cork and
people are again beginning to turn their
eyes toward the situation in Ireland
The McCarthyites say they are delight
| ed, but do not look it. So many priests
are fiocking to Sligo that their numbers
attract attention and are the subject of
irreverent remark. The Parnellites
claim to have received encouraging ad-
vices as to the prospects of their ENJOYS
in America. Both factions are in need
of funds, but the Parnellltes seem to be
the easier as to money for election pur-
poses.

1t will be observed that when the Sen
ate IN committee Of the whose consider
ed the bill by sections no such amend
ment was adopted. After it passed the
second reading it was inserted upon mo-
tion of Mr. KING. We must believe that
he did not'intend SO sweeping a taxation
upon the poor, and that he was unfortun-
ate in the wording of his amendment and
intended only to reduce the exemption
But whether intended or not. it is law
and will work great hardship upon all
parties in receipt of small salaries. More
over it is q great wrong and gross in
justice TO compel men to pay taxes VIXEN
their incomes are sufficient only to sup
port them in the most enforced economy.
The CHRONICLE believes in the income
tax; and more than that, we believe in a
graduated income tax. We would
compel every person whose income
exceeded 800 or $1,000 to pay an. in
come tax of one per centum; parties
VINO receive $4,000 annually ought tc
pay two per centum; those receiving
So, 900 and more five percentum, and fol
every So, coo and more the tax ought tC
be increased, so that it would fall heav
lest upon those who are best able to pay
it. But We are unalterably opposed K
the income tax when the income is le.!
than So a day.

THE COLORED EDITORS.
They Want a COlOred News Syndicate.-
The Resolutions Passed.

The Resolutions Passed.
CINCINNATI, March 2O-At last nights
session of the colored editors it was
agreed that while the present associa-
tions furnish good reports to the papers,
syndicate Of colored newspaper men
would be more likely to get at the truth,
especially in the matter of Southern
news. The committee recommended the
formation Of a company for carrying on
an Afro-Ameilcan news Bureau.
The Resolutions Adopted.
The committee on ways and plans re-
ported protests against any idea of eX-
patriation, but does not favor emigration
from the over-crowded districts of the
South to the West and Southwest. It
expresses regret at the failure of Con-
gress to pass the Blair educational bill
and the Federal election bill. 1t de-
nOunces as an outrage the "Jim Grow
car" and other determinations practiced
III places Of public amusement and ac-
commOdations. The penal system Of the
South is severely criticised as a parody on
| free men, and the ballot laws in Florida,
| South Carolina, Tennessee and NiissiS
sippi are condemned. It insists that
the honest sentiment of the country
sympathizes with aud favors the honest
administration Of the laws, but that fol
some reason it seems as if the people al
large have ceased TO consider the serious
ness of the problem made when Lee
surrendered to Grant. 1t closes by say
ing the principal mission of the Afro
American press is to maintain the frs
rights of the race under the constitution
Federal and State.

Oddly enough, our esteemed contem-
porary, the Boston Post, seems to be the
only journal outside Of Chicago in which
we have seen reported an unusually in
teresting occurrence In the Lake City at
the reception given by the Cook County
Democratic Club to the Democratic
members of the Legislature who elected
Gen. John M. Palmer Senator. The,
enthusiasm of the welcome was worthy
of the loyalty and persistence with which
these legislators had stood by their can
didate. Besides the Democrats, however,
there was present Farmer Cockreil, one
of the Farmers Mutual Beneficial Asso-
cirtion members who had given the ad
ditional vote necessary Tor Palmer's cleo
ton. He made an address explaining
his course in the long struggle, and IL
conclusion said, "impressively," as he is
quoted by the Chicago journals:
"Now, on behalf Of 4, 900, 900 farmers
l wish to warn you that you cannot
make Grover Cleveland the next presi-
dent of the United States"
Upon this delivery there seems to ha Ee
| been great applause; but we find the oee

criminals were acquitted, who, according

and brings the Court and officials into
