across and grabbed him in the middle
OF the street opposite Megear's store,
and in the resistance both fell heavily
to the ground, the officer keeping a
firm hold until Joe Cummins, assistant
policeman, came up. Still resisting, he
was dubbed over the head until reduc-
ed to submission, having been seen in
the meantime trying to get a pistol
from his pocket. The colOred people
not knowing what had previously
happened, threatened to interfere,
thinking he was thus treated because
he was black man.
Constable Weldon saw when thew
had reached the -four corners" that
a crowd of between one and two hun
dred sullen negroes were crowding on
with apparent evil intent, and step
ping in between, he commanded them
to stand back, saying that the first
man that interfered would get hurt.
Thus they went until within one hun
dred feet of the lookup, when one OF
the crowd called out, "here is q dark
place, take him away from them" and
1t was perhaps only the cool determi
nation of the officers that deferred

He was carried to jail on Monday,
where he will have to lay six months

a heavy penalty for his triple offence.

A SERIOUS issue seems to have been
reached in Wilmington, on account of
registering voters Saturday whose
legal right was questioned, and several
Registrars were arrested because they
refused to show the tax receipts held
by the suspects. The two supervisors,
one from each party, were appointed
to prevent the commission of fraud,
and they cannot see, if the receipt is
valid, why there should be any objec-
tiOn to its being examined. On the
contrary, the Democrats say that the
state law requires no such supervisors
OF election, and wish to ignore their
presence at the places of registration
and election. The Republicans do not
claim that the supervisors have right
to supervise a voters right to vote for
county or state officers, but the elec.
ton for electors and candidate to Con-
gress are held at the same time, and as
they are all on the same ticket, to be
voted for on the same day, the Federal
supervisors cannot be denied the right
to scan the tickets in the interests of a
fair election for National Officials, and
that the rights of supervisors shall not
be abridged without those causing in
fractions of the law being made to
answer before the U. S. Court. 1t is
claimed that there are many persons
in Wilmington holding receipts, not
properly assessed, and these and others
in one way or another, not legally
qualified, is what is likely to cause a
serious difference of opinion and con-
fict of authority.
