The Colonial Exhibit at the worlds
Exposition at Chicago.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean, May 81.
Revolutionary relics and articles
linked with the history of the early
colonies before this country became
the United States of America are
now being unpacked and placed on
display in the rotunda of the gov
eminent building Among them are
rare old laces, snuff boxes, minia-
lures, letters, books, swords, shoe
buckles, and silver plate, and they
are being installed in the alcoves
which surround the giant redwood
trees With the exception of Vir-
ginia, South Carolina, and Georgia,
all of the thirteen original States
have contributed to the exhibit,
which is made under the auspices OF
the colonial committee of the board
of Lady Managers, of which Mrs. G.
w. Kidder, OF Wilmington, N. c., is
the chairman.
1t was the original intent OF these
ladies to secure loan exhibit of
colonial and revolutionary relics for
the woman's building. But the
scheme did not meet with response
from the owners of the priceless
treasures, as they did not think the
woman's building safe warehouse
for them, and for a time it seemed
the exhibit was doomed. But Mrs.
Kidder and the other ladies of the
committee were determined not to be
defeated for they realized the keen
interest felt by the public in all that
pertains to the early history of the
land. They Immediately set about
to secure a location which would
absolutely insure the collection inn
munity from fire or thieves. After a
long and determined effort, in which
the influence of the President was
sought and gained, these ladies
secured the Glcoves in the govern
ment building as Especial concession
from the State Department. At once
the work took on new fol m. Guarded
as the government building is there
was no danger of loss. The whole
company of marines is quartered
there and the entire structure is sub
jected to the most careful surveil-
lance.

That audacious and lively publica
ton, ''Tales from Town Topics is
out again in Midsummer Number,
with special $1,000 prize novel,
entitled six Months in Hades, :"
added to the usual collection of
bright things reproduced from the
old numbers of the New York society
journal The story is decidedly odd
and fascinating in plot, and the
short matter is selected with the
especial view of adding to the genial
ity of the summer season. Tales
from Town Topics" is just the sort
of a book that one likes to take on
the shady end of piazza, or down
on the rocks by the shore during
quiet and lazy afternoon. 1t is a
cool, clever and cunning production,
and quite unique in the literature of
the day-TowN Tories, 81 West

At the down town hotels where so
many of the Southern people stop, the
talk is chat in a few days the Presi-
dent will announce the appointment
of the new United States Attorney
for the western district of North Car
DINA, and while it is generally con-
coded that the race is between Mr..
Kope Elias, of Franklin county, and
Mr.. R. B. Gleffn, of Winston, the
average North Carolinian does not
seem to be certain who of the two as
pirants will be successful, though
there is is growing belief that the
President is more inclined toward
Mr.. Elias. Still Mr.. Glenn is heavily
backed, and the brilliant canvass
made by him during the last cam
paign is held up by his friends as en-
titling him to recognition. Mr.. Cleve-
land is an ''impressionable man." as
has been said by many people who
have watched closely his method of
making appointments, and it is no
secret here that he has taken great
favoring to Mr.. Elias.
Senator Vance is backing Mr.. Glenn
energetically, and is said to be doing
all he can to secure his appointment.
Mr.. Elias has good backing also among
the delegation and the. public will
soon know what the President thinks
about the case.

ASHERlFF WHIPS AN EDITOR
Mr. R. N, Macarthur and Cant. ]. W.
Goshen Have a Combat.
THE /. SHERIFF USES HIS FIST

With Fearful Effect Upon the Editors
Face-The Difficulty Caused by
Articles Published in The Union
Republican Rejecting on the sher
iff as an Officer.
Third street was the scene of live
ly fisticuff Friday, June End.
The combatants were Sheriff r. M.
Macarthur and Editor J. w. Goshen,
of the Union Republican.
The sheriff then said Il hold you
responsible then and propose to whip
you"
when ," asked the editor.
fright now,'' responded the sheriff.
Mr.. GOslen raised his cane and Mr..
Macarthur his arm. With one hand
the sheriff grasped the editors cane
and with the other he hit him in the
face.
The two men clinched and in the
scuffie both went to the ground, the
sheriff falling on top. Several strokes
were passed, but all the time the Sher-
| if was the aggreSsOr and kept the ed
| itor on the defensive.
The two men were separated by
Policeman Adams, Joseph Jacobs, j.

| was almost covered with blood. For
| tunately for him his injuries were not
| serious, consisting only in bruises.
| After the sheriff's temper had sub
| sided somewhat he Informed the men
| holding him that he would fight no
more. With this understanding he
was turned loose. He thereupon went
| up to the editor and said: Il tell you
now that if you will publish the trnth
nj + no
you print any more dies l propose to
| hold you responsible and, furthermore,
will whip you every time you do So"
Editor Goslen replied that he claim
| ed to know his own rights.
At the conclusion of the CONVERSE
| tiOn the editor went into the drug
store of Ashcraft & Owen and washed
| the blood from his face, after which
he went to his Office.
The difficulty arose over communi-
| cations which have appeared in The
| Republican for the past five weeks re-
| flecting upon the sheriff as man and
! officer.
After the first article appeared Mr..
| Macarthur went to the office of Editor
| Goshen and demanded the authors
name of said article. This Capt. Cos
| len refused to give. The sheriff says
that then and there he informed the
editor that he would hold him per-
| sonally responsible until he decided to
| divulge the writer's name.
The sheriff and eGitor were cited to
appear before Esquire Pegram at three
| O'Clock in the afternoon and answer the
charges against them.
LATER.-The case was disposed of
| by Esquire Pegram imposing a
fine of So and cost upon Sheriff
| Macarthur. Mr.. @. B. Watson appear

THE TRIAL.
Sheriff Macarthur Let Off With a Five
Dollar Fine.

Esquire Pegram's Office was throng-
ed with anxious spectators Fridayeven-
ing. The attraction was the Nc
ArthurGoslen trial.
Tie editor was the first one called
upon for a statement. Among other
things he swore that the sheriff yes
terday morning did not question him
about giving the names of the auth
OrS of the several communications
which have appeared for the past sew
eral weeks.
The sheriff SwOre that he did.
Mr.. Watson, who represented the
sheriff at the trial, read extracts from
several of the communications which
have appeared in the Republican. Mr.
Watson asked the editor if those let
tiers were not prepared in his Office.
The latter replied they were sent to
him. After reading portion of the
communication published in this
weeks Republican, and signed Dem
Ocrat," Mr.. Watson asked the editor
to say whether or not the author was
d Democrat or Republican. Captain
Goslen's counsel objected to this,
Capt. Glenn saying that any sensible
man would know by reading it that
the article was not written by
a Democrat. The court sustained
Mr. Watson by saying that he saw
nothing wrong in replying to the
question propounded. The editor
said that he thought the writer had
been both Democrat ard Republican.
GLOW did he vote at the last cleo
tion?" asked Mr.. Watson.
81 am not positive, but think he
voted the Republican ticket" answer
ed Capt. Goshen.
THAT is all [ want to know said
Mr.. Watson.
In addressing the court Mr.. Watson
said that the fight against the sheriff
had been kept up until ''forbearance
ceased to be virtue" He added
that he thought no editor, be he Dem
ocrat or Republican, had any right to
publish falsehoods about public
man. II want to say that these diff
cultieS will continue to happen as
long as such are published about Bob
Macarthur, who is courageous officer
and a gentleman"
In rendering his decision Esquire
Pegram said that were the defendant
a man of bad character he would give
him the full penalty of his jurisdic-
tion, $3.50 but as he was sheriff and
a gentleman he would give him credit
for SIS and make the fine S. and costs.

Description cfthe Macarthur
Goshen Difficulty.
The row occurred on Third street
When pugnacious Bob Macarthur
ESpied SO-called editor.
The sheriff thought a moment,
And said: Il think he's my meat"
I'll ask him one more question
AS-to who has dared attack me
And call me coward sheriff
And assert l am incompetent.
So up he goes to Goslin,-
BY some called Brother Goosey,"-
And asks for satisfaction,
Which straigEtway is refused him.
We'll, ] propose to whip you,"
Said Sheriff to the. Editor.
''And when?p inquired Goslin.
Right now" said Bob Macarthur.
And sure enough he did it.
Up rose the ssjernalistic''
Man with face quite badly damaged.
His complexion was quite ruddy
But hardly quite as healthy.
With cOuntenance much damaged
He goes into the drug store
Conducted by Ashcraft & Owens,
Celebrated pill compounders,
Where the genial Mr.. BobbiIt
Made the editor less CORY.
With face repaired the Costing
Repairs unto the Justice,
And the Sheriff is required
To appear before Judge Pegram.
The lawyers come in with them,
Cy. Watson for McArthur;
And for Goshen, Glenn & Manly.
Then with law they fiercely wrestle
Mr.. Watson says it's duty
Even if it's not amusement
To whip a no-good editor
Who's sassy in his columns
And continues to provoke one
With lies that are not worthy
IA respectable newspaper.
The other lawyers argue
That ssjernalisticv body
Is as easy Of affliction

An Equitable Tax.

An Equitable Tax.
From the New York World.l
1t is a fundamental principle of
taxation that all taxes should be
levied with view to the ability of
the citizen to pay.
Our internal taxes on spirits and
tobacco, though good as a means of
obtaining revenue, are not equitable.
The poor man and the rich man who
consume an equal amount of to-
bacco, spirits or beer pay the same
amount towards the support of the
government. This may be and often
is hardship to the poor man, while
the rich man does not feel it.
Tariff duties on necessaries operate
in the same way. The poor are
burd,ned. The rich feel no weight.
A graded tax on incomes of $1O,-
600 or more would tend to correct
these inequalities. 1t would be paid
only by those to whom payment
would be no hardship. 1t would be
a small tithing from superfuity. 1t
would Tighten some of the burdens of
the poor.
Unnecessary taxation is unjust
taxation. Taxation that takes no
account of the ability of the citizen
to pay is unequal taxation.
The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1893-06-08

AS anybodys' body.
And no man in the county,
Be he Sheriff or citizen,
Has right to bruise another.
Then spoke the wise Judge Pegram
Who, like another Solomon,
Proposed to deal out justice.
And he said: "I'll fine Macarthur
Fifty dollars for his fighting
Put FIVE and forty to his credit
And make him pay the balance"
Up jumped the plucky Sheriff,
The lighting Bob Macarthur,
And paid the bill-five dollars.
And to a friend he muttcred
That he'd give better licking
To any measley editor
For much less sum of money.

COLLEGE TRAINING.
IL Contributes Largely to WOrdIy
Success.

President C. F. Thwing, in The Forum.1
will assume that at least a hun
dred millions of people who have
lived and whose dust mingles with
the common dust of this new soil,
have not had a college training.
Yet out of these hundred millions
only ten thousand have SO wrought
as to deserve such recognition as is
found in a cyclopedia of biography.
Only ten thousand out of ten thou
sand times ten thousand There
fore only one out of every ten thou
sand. But of the college men one in
every forty has attained such a
recognition. Into one group gather
together ten thousand infants and
send no. one to college; one person
will attain through some work a GER
tain fame. Into another group
gather forty college men on the day
Of their graduation, and out of those
forty one will attain recognition.

No Need OF Sectional Feeling.

From the Springfield, Mass, Repub ic n.
1t is the height of absurdity to
attempt to arouse sectional feeling
over the honors which the Southern
people are to show the body of JEFF
ferson Davis on it's removal to Rich
mond, Va. If the Southern people
choose to honor his memory in this
way, they have perfect right to do
so, and the rest of the country need
not disturb itself about it in the
least. There will besome regret that
secession failed mingled with these
expressions OF honor, but not much,
and there will not be particle of de-
sire to try the experiment over again.

A FALSE RUMOR
About a Winston Bank-How it Origi-
mated.


From the Danville Star.l
There seems to be an imprt ssion
among some that there is something
wrong with one of the Winston ban ks
that is causing some solicitude
among those who are interested in
Winston. We would not make any
reference to the matter but for the
fact that we have had several en-
quiries about it. The only grounds
for the rumor THAT we can learn are
these: Last evening a gentleman in
Winston went to the First National
Bank after banking hours to collect
check. The money, it seems. was
to be sent to Greensboro. Failing
to get the money, he telegraphed to
the party in Greensboro, Cant send
money; bank closed" There is moth
ing unusual about this, only in the
critical condition of finance the
telegram tended to mislead. We be-
lieye Winston's banking institutions
are solid and safe, and no apprehen-
sion need be had to the contrary.
