\ SAD AND TRAGIC DEATH
For the Caucasian. I

Mr.. John F. Mathews formerly of
this county was shot and brutally
murdered in the town of Burlington
on the night of the 9Th inst. At
about one O'Clock he was aroused
from his sleep by some one trying to
make an entrance into the rear door
of store. Arousing himself, with his
gun he cautiously opened the front
door, and went near where they were
and fired his gun to brighten them
away, when the robbers turned their
weapons on him killing him instant>
ly. One of the bullets entered his
head over the left eye and one IN the
left shoulder and arm. Mr.. Maths
ews was a son of Mr.. 0. NJ. and Mrs
E. {. Mathews, and was mostly
raised near Piney Grove church,
where he was loved and esteemed
by the whole community. He was
about twenty eight years old. A
few years ago the family moved to
Goldsboro; after staying there
short time John went to Burlington
and engaged in merchandising on a
small capital. By his honest and in
domitable will and energy he greatly
enlarged his business and was doing
we'll and on sound basis. He was
greatly esteemed and loved in the
town, as was shown at his funeral
the whole town turning out to the
last sad tribute to him. The deep
est heartfelt sympathies goes out for
his mother and brothers and sisters
in their great bereavement.

Why is ii that the Sampson Demo-
crat raises such a great hue and cry
about DR.. Thompson's speech being in
decent? Is it because the editor OF the
Democrat has such keen sense Of
right that DIR. Thompson's jokes was
Initiative TO his serene dignity? Or
was 1t because DR.. Thompson is p. p.
man and did their speaker UP in such
fine style that they are sore over the
matter? Perhaps they will say his
jokes were too rough, and that they
would condemn such i'm any speaker
But why is 1t that we never hear Sena-
tor Vance condemned for his jokes?
Senator Vance is more vulgar on the
stump than DIR. Thompson, and we
venture to say that if Z. B. Vance had
made use of the same jokes, the editor,
or contributor, of the Democrat would
have relished them, and been ready to
repeat them himself We don't ap-
preciate vulgarity any more than the
editor of the Democrat, but we can't
see why he should "strain at gnat,

believed in the principles of Democra-

He was De m-o-c-r-a-t, and his con-
versation showed conclusively that
prejudice had over-powered his reason,
and left him almost raving maniac,

ing his conversation he spoke of his
relatives who had disgraced his fair
name by joining in with the third

round about Faison's as once being a
place of intelligence and refinement,
but he seemed to think that it had
now sank to pitiably low depths, be-
yond all hopes of recovery. His con-
versation was well filled with unbe.

quote here. and our sympathies, for
him were aroused while he was thus
speaking, but more SO when we walk

is a Butler man, and I was just peeling
him." His peeling wasn't worth no

cowardly way to accomplish it. Oh, if

Editor Mississippi Leader:

Editor Mississippi Leader;
Itwould appear that eve leaders,
of the Alliance are rather putting it
strong when they iusist that the
Third Party will have no following
in ths State or the South. Your hum
BILE correspondent believes that he
knows whereof he speaks when he as
serts that the party yoke sits lightly
on the necks of the agriculturists
throughout the whole Southland. And
if the coming National Democratic
Convention meets and fails to iucor-
porate within its platform the Sub
Treasury plank of the Farmers Ali
ancc and the Peoples Party meets
and does away with its Pension folly,
the "solid South" will be q thing of the
past as far as Democracy is concerned,
and with Hill or Cleveland and Re-
publican in the race, the Farmers AL
lance will certainly take hold of tina t
horn of the dilema that promises most
good to them.
The Alliance is not saying much
now. but it is doing some thinking,
that is so strong that it makes its eyes
bulge out, and it is taking very little
stock in Mr.. Hill or Mr.. Cleveland
either.
One from the outside would imagine
that they were caring little or moth
ing at all about the presidential cam
paign that is so near in the future.
But the faithful can see in the eyes of
the brethren Il portentous look that
means much, and these divisions and
party chickering's mean much of good
to them at the Ides of November. The
Haunting of the bloody shirt in the
northwest and the infamous Force
Bill at the South hardly attracts q
glance of notice when weighed against
the currency problem.
1t is relief that they want and relief
they must have, and if it is clearly
demonstrated by the platforms of the
old parties that it cannot be had
through them, then it will be an easy
matter to cast loose from them and go
where relief is promised. "When
thieves fall out then honest men get
their dues"
Then | say to my Alliance brethren,
let us hold hard together and await
the opportunity.

We are glad to know that Messrs. j
w. Peck, L. W. Moore and A. Strouse
will each experiment this season to the
extent of a small acreage, with the
wonderful South American forage
plant ''Teasinte." 1t is unrivalled for
luxuriant growth, though it has not
yet developed seed in this country and
must be classed as an annual. 1t
should be seeded in April, on good
land, in rows four feet apart and two
feet in the drill, one seed supplying as
many as forty shoots; from three to
four cuttings can be had in a season,
thus affording an enormous amount of
excellent forage, and it is. said to be
one of the best fertilizing plants known
and also to make admirable hay. AS
TO it's staying properties" it endures
heat, droughts and rains as well as
sorghum. We hope to see many others

that the appropriation of 1898 for as

announced in the Prohibition platform
for years and years, that the State

speaks thus of the higl, license "Re-

An Address by Representative
Hart.

Hart.
On last Friday night, during short
suspension of the regular business
when numerous complimentary
speeches were in order, Representa-
tive Hart, of Lincoln, arose in his
seat and spoke as follows:
Mr.. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House,
1t lacks but two days of three
months since we met here to try tn
discharge the responsible and i'm
portant duties imposed upon us. Our
duties have been long and arduous.
We have labored day in and day out,
borrowing Il good deal of time from
the night, when our troubled minds
felt like they ought to have been at
rest. But had we not used eXtraOr-
binary industry much of our labOrs
would be yet incomplete. And while
there is some that perhaps deserve
special mention, do not think it
would be proper to do so just here,
There have been diverse and conflict
ing views upon many of the problems
and questions that we have had to
deal with, but presume that every
one has acted in good faith and has
discharged his duties as he saw and
understood them, and want to say
for one. or for myself, that ! 60 away
from here with the kindcst feelings
for all. | shall carry from here Il
group of the present House as me-
mento of my high appreciation and
esteem of them. Not group as
taken from the hands of the artist,
but a group made by impress
upon my heart, which hope will be
as lasting rs time and as durable as
eternity.
And now, Mr.. Speaker and gentle
men of the House, and employees and
all, after these few remarks as an ex-
preston of my feelings toward you
all, with the hope that we may all
meet here again two years hence, |
bid you a happy good-by.

That is all there is to it, and disguise
it as they may, the Democratic leaders
cannot blind the eyes of the people a
particle about it. If they refuse to
nominate Cleveland, they will confess

some more pliable man, and they will
go into the campaign deserving the de-

The cotton was not prepared as is often the

Mr.. Cummings has devoted many
months TO the preparation of his lecture,
having for the purpose OF original study
and research, made tour of the places in
Italy, Spain and the West Indies known
to have been scenes In the various acts In
the life of Columbus.
Beside the historical narrative, the lee
ture Is enriched with over 100 very beau
tiful dissolving Views, which are largely
drawn from photographs taken on the
spot, and serve to pointedly illustrate the
scenes and events described by the lee
turer.
Mr.. Cummings speaks with case and
grace, very frequently with real dramatic
powet, the death Of Columbus I'm particu-
lar being depicted in the most pathetic
and sympathetic manner. His conclusion,
in which he dwells upon the debt which
the world, but particularly America, owes
