VANCE MEMORIAL WINDOW.
To be Made in Gothic Style, Abou,
4x1O Feet.

The September number of that
handsome and interesting publica-
tion, "The Academy" has just been
issued. From it's columns THE SENTI-
MEL clips the following paragraph
from an article on "The Vance Me-
mortal Window:
''The plan on which the work is
now being pushed is to have the win
dow made in the gothic style, about
4x10 feet, in the center placing bust
of the Senator, above the emblem of
the Lamb and Banner" which is on
the seal of the Moravian church, and
below the Coat of Arms of North
Carolina, with a suitable inscription
underneath. The general details OF
color and design, except the points
named above, will. of course, be in
the hands of the artist. We have sew
eral designs now in hand, which will
be cheerfully shown to friends who
may call, and we especially invite the
pupils who live near enough to the
Academy to do so to call as soon as
they can and give the Principal any
suggestions they have to make. Mr..
Clewell will probably make a triI
North in October, and it is desirable
to have all subscriptions in by that
time. Give this matter your prompt
and liberal interest and support, ano
the class will greatly appreciate the
kindness"

ANTI-LYNCHING LAW.
North Carolina the First State to Get
It-Prepared by "Cy,' Watson
PRICE 5 GENTS.


The Raleigh News and Observer
calls attention to the fact that North
Carolina has an anti-lynching law,
that she was the first State in the I'm
ION to pass such a law; that it was en-
acted by Legislature composed al
most entirely of Democrats and that
not single colored person has been
lynched ia the State since its passage.
The DILL was passed without serious
opposition and almost unanimously.
1t was championed by many of the
leading Democrats in the General As
sembly. 1t was prepared and intro
duced in the House by that Stalwart
Forsyth Democrat, Hon. 9. B. Wat
son. 1t was favorably reported by a
committee, the chairman of which
was Mr.. Allen, of Wayne, now Judge
Allen, of the Fourth district. 1t was
champloned in the Senate by many of
the Democrats and particularly by
Senator Pou, now Chairman of the
State Democratic Committee. 1t was
enacted at the demand of the enlight-
ened puOlic opinion of the people of
North Caralina. Since its passage
not single negro has suffered vio-
lence at the hands of a mob in this
State. The law has come to stay
and no suggestion fayOring it's repeal
has been heard.
Now if the next Legislature will
adopt Governor Carr's suggestion and
provide more speedy trials for often
ders, and our laws will be ample to
protect the innocent, and punish the
guilty.
The law provides that if is a felony
punishable by fine of not less than
5000 and imprisonment in the penitens
tiary not less than two nor more than
fifteen years to either break into a
jail or to conspire to break into one
for the purpose of injuring a prisoner
therein confined. A conviction of
either offence also renders the crimi-
nal infamous and works his disfran-
cnisemcnt. If aprisoner is killed by
mob it is murder and the offender
are punishable by death.

Some Views of Colored Republican
Newspaper.
From the Wilmington Herald.l
How in the deuce is it that up to
four or five years past the Populists
had been voting Democratic ticket,
edited Democratic papers, prayed
Democratic prayers, attended Demo-
cratic conventions, and now pull out
and pop up. over in Raleigh, and we
are told four white men to one c0lOred
in the so named Republican conven-
tion there said what the negro hould
do and what ticket he should vote ::
Give us a Republican ticket in our
hands and we will cast it. Give u, a
Republican platform and we will sup
port it. But ticket fused and named
by the negro hating Pops for over one
hundred Thousand negroes to support
is ridiculous, and we will not support
it. Our party is the older, why didn't
they allow us to nominate and they
do the voting? We have the majority
of the votes, SO why not have the
loudest voice? Can, or will we sit
still and allow such? In defence of
our race and rights we rise up and
say, regardless OF whose OK we gore,
Give or die, survive or perish" we
shall do all in our power TO defeat the
Populist fused, negro hating ticket.

Jumping Beans.

The latest curiosity in Winston is
the jumping beam" They can be
seen at several stores in town. Mr..
These beans are the product of a very
peculiar tree (carpocapsa saltans) that
grows in only one State in Mexico. If
the beans are laid on any fiat surface
two kinds of movements take place.
They will be seen to slide forward
about an eighth OF an inch at a time
and also to jump up from the surface
on which they are placed. Each jump
raises the bean about an eighth to a
quarter OF an inch. The jumping is
done by worm but the most surpris-
ing part OF it is the fact that there is
no hole in the bean or any other indi-
cation Of the way in which the worm
entered the bean.

The Darkies Were Disguised.

From the Charlotte News.
Jake Boyer. the chairman of the
Republican Executive Committee,
called the faithful together yesterday
in Concord, to ask them to cooperate
with the Pops. Young, the negro
orator, from Raleigh, was on hand
and spoke for three hours All the
prominent Populists were there in
full force to give aid to the meeting
and this is about the result: At the
beginning of the meeting, by actual
count, there were 240 Pops. and ne
groes present. When the vote on
fusion was taken only 10 negroes
were in the house and not one of them
voted. ManJ left disgusted and de-
clared they would vote the Democrat

THE JOKE TURNED.
A Durham Young Man Has an Un
pleasant Experience.

From the Durham Sun.
There are jokes and jokes, but there
was one played last night by young
man OF Durham, who says that all
jokes are not what they are put up to
be. He will not attempt it again.
He was with IL friend and on billiard
street saw his sister and her husband
coming towards them. This young
man conceived the idea that he would
scare them, SO they moved up in the
shade OF the trees and he began to
Stagger as a drunken man, and as the
couple was in the act of passing, this
young man grabbed his sister in a
warm embrace. rhe husband let fly
his fist and gave the young man a
stunning lick on the side of the mouth
and would have followed it up with
other blows had it not been discover
ed that it was his brother-in-law. Ex-
plantations followed, and the young man
is of the decided opinion that his joke
would not joke worth cent. He
says his teeth felt very sore this morn
ing, and for the present he is out of
the Joking business.

.Cy. WATSON at MocksviIle.

The Davie Times says: On Wednes-
day Hon. @. B. Watson, of Winston,
spoke to crowded house. His speech
was one of the best we have ever
listened to, and we are sure that it
did much good. He held the fusion
crowd up to the public gaze and threw
the light on it from all sides. The
view presented to the audience was
one that had tendency to show the
voters what steps Butler, HoltOn, Har-
ris and their crowds would take to
sell their party, principles and all, for
the sake of getting themselves and a
few pets into office. We wish the
speech could have been heard by every
voter in the State.

THE REPUBLICANS FALSEHOOD.
Surry's Endorsement of Judge Graves

From the Mt. Airy News.]
Once or twice recently the Union
Republican has contained inslnuations
that the endorsement by this county
of Judge Graves for the United States
was not in good faith but trick in
the interest of Senator Ransom. Last
week the Republican stated that it
had reliable information that Mr.. w.
+. Carter had admitted that Surry'S
endorsement of Judge Graves meant
RANSOM" The editor of the News
interviewed Mr.. Carter Tuesday and
asked him if he had seen the state
ment in the Union Republican.

it is an absolute falsehood. l have

ABOUT MARSHALL MOTT.
WHY HE MOVED FROM STATES
WILLIE TO WILKESBORO.
Second Edition of Tommie Settle
Barber Making q Fine Record.

4
The Reidsville Review this week
prints an editorial that makes mighty
interesting reading, especially to the
people OF WinsJon-Salem and the
| Ninth Judicial district. The Eeyiew
| says:
'tThe voters of the Ninth Judicial
| district scarcely know who Solicitor
Barber's opponent is in this campaign.
Some of them have a faint idea that
he is named Mott though they are
not quite sure of it. A more select
number know that the handle to his
| name is Marshall, and only very few
are aware that he is the son OF his
| father, the "IrOn Duke" who has so
long been the under dog in the Eaves-
Mott fight. Beyond that as to the
history of Mr.. Mott, Jr., who solicits
the suffragies for a judicial office the
ignorance of the people Of this Ninth
Judicial district is positively painful.
Possibly in not knowing Mr.. Mott, his
record, antecedents, predictions, as
piratiOns, etc. more Intimately the
people of the Ninth Judicial district
argue themselves unknown.
1.-THE Review is sorry to say that it
can throw no new light on the sub
ject, never having been introduced to
ed the confidence OF any one who as
sociated with the subject more or less
intimately. From the best available
sources Of information we have re-
ceived and retained the distinct i'm
preston that Mr.. Mott is a second
edition (possibly only cheap and
worthless imitatiOn) of our lah-de-
dab, curled darling, the beautiful, be-
loved, fiamboyant boy, TOmmie Set
81 I.1I
when the points of similarity are full
ly indicated. Neither one has any
particular identity, both Of them
abiding well within the intellectual
shadow of their fathers hats. Both
of them are violent, vituperative, In
temperate, shameless, brazenfaced,
care hardened, cOnscience-seared Re
publicans, and they get the Republi-
canism the same way they get their
surnames. They are Republicans by
name and inheritance, professional
politicians by hereditary transmission
and accumulation and carpet-baggers
by nature, calling and accubation.
"Mr. Settle moved from Greensboro
to Reidsville OStensibly to practice
law, but as matter of fact to prac-
tice politics and ride into fat office
on the backs of the voters of the
Ninth Judicial district. Similar and
equally laudable reasons moved Mr..
Mott to HE himself away from States
vile and find in Wilkesboro local
habitation and name. Both evil
IDENTIFY acted on the advice of astute
fathers and all had both eyes on the
main chance.
Solicitor Barber is making a most
excellent official. He is careful,
earnest, laborious, and painstaking
attorney, in all of which respects he
is said to essentially differ from his
predecessor. Why should an exchange
be made when there is absolutely
nothing to gain and everything to lose
by a swap Don't let politics enter
too largely into judicial matters and
let Mott, the Unknown, whether re-
lated to the Frenchm an, Bon Mot, or
of oblivion"
