ELECTION INCENDIARIEs.
Negroes Attempt to Burn Out Their
Political Opponents.

AN~o Ao>' @AssS"pN w buhh out
Political Opponents.
SYLvANA, Ca, Nov. 28.-A wholesale
plot of incendiaries, has been unearthed
in this county, and seven negro culprits,
self-confessed, are now in the county Jail.
About two weeks ago the house and
barn of State Senator Wade, who was
absent in attendance upon the legisla-
ture in Atlanta. burned at midnight.
The men arrested Yesterday confessed
the whole plot. 1t was that following
the recent elections they had been ad-
vised by some white men to organize
and burn out people who deprived them
Of their right to vote. They then formed
themselves into an oath.bound associa-
tion for the purpose OF incendiarism.
Their first work was on Senator
Wades property, because they said he
had no right to represent them in the
Senate. They were to have burned the
homes Of two other well.known citizens
it they had not been arrested.
The community is so enraged over the
affair that strong guard was placed
about the Jail last night to prevent
lynching.

NORTH CAROLINA NEWS.

Raleigh correspondence Charlotte
Observer: How many people know
that Marie Burroughs, so pretty and
piquant an actress. and so popular on
the New York stage, is a North Caro-
linian? Judge Thomas c. Fuller met
her father in New Mexico recently, and
the latter said he was a native of Nash
county, and kin to the well known Ar
rington family. The latter family is
widely famed for its personal courage
and for its fine game chickens.
There is a rumor. which perhaps
rests on very slender foundation. that
the new legislature will take up the ques-
ton of the especial tax" bonds, with
view to making them legal. The bonds
have no standing, are dt clared illegal by
the Constitution of 1875, and barred by
the courts. Governor-elect Morton OF
New York is large holder OF these
worthless securities.
The doctrine of "instant sanctifica-
ton" preached in Raleigh for the first
time by St. Louis Methodist, continues
to make q stir. In the churches of four
other denominations attacks have been
made on it. 1t is said the preacher who
introduced" it in Raleigh was expelled
from his church for his views.
In Wilkes county three men went to
the house of a relative, widow, gave
the 8 years old child Of the latter drink
Of whiskey, and then gave the little one
small bottle, all Of which the child
drank. The whiskev killed her. The
men were drunk at the time.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Nov. 25.-A plan
to hold up the east bound train on the
Kansas and Arkansas Valley road by
the Cook gang on Friday night was

planned. Twenty-Five armed men had
taken possession of station.
The wife Of the section boss eluded the
watchfulness Of the gang and resolved
to save the train. She ran to the next
station and gave the alarm. Armed
men were placed on board, and the train
pulled slowly by the section house where
the bandits we're concealed, but no at
tempt to hold up the train was made.

A TOUCHING PRAYER.
Inspired BY The Light of The
Camp Fires And The Stars.

One of the prettiest things I've
ever read or heard, says CORES
pondent of the Brooklyn Eagle,
was little poem written Oh the
prayer "Now 1 lay me down to
Sleep" by a mining prospector,
apropos of the circumstances aad
place he found himself in one
night. The man was once in quite
comfortable. circumstances, but,
possessed of a strong desire to
prospect for mines, started out,
and becoming finally a trampes,
financially, walked many miles
east to Wichita, Kan, and stepping
into the office of a newspaper
applied for work on the repor torial
staf, saying that be had worked on
newspapers. From his appearance
being against him from his long
walk and impoverished condition,
he received no notice, much less
encouragement, and on retiring
laid on the editors's desk the poem
saying ifit was of any Use to him,
he was welcome to it. At the
EDITORS leisure he picked it up
and read it, and at once sent out to
find the tramp, Lut no trace of
him could be found.

"It is curious paradox" says
an exchange, "that the large-hand-
ed man loves small things, details,
exquisitely finished objects. and is
microscopic in his tendencies, while
he whose hands are small delights
in colossal things of every sort,
loving ostentation and display,
immense houses, majestic estates,
and all else that is upon a great
scale. His handwriting is large
and perhaps full of fourishes, while
that of the large-handed man is
small and precise" This is true
of SO prominent an example as
President Cleveland, who, a large
man with large hands, writes with
remarkable fneness, and page of
his script is destitute of unneces-
sary lines.

FATAL DUEL.
A Barboursville Feud Results in

BARBoURsv1LLE, KY, Feb. 4
A duel to the death was enacted at
Harlem Court House, Harlem coun-
ty, Monday night, in which John
Turner, brother of the circuit Clerk
and Will Turner, an uncle of John
and a brother of Judge George B.
Turner, were killed outright. The
fight occurred in a barber shop on
the Court House square.
DR.. VIM. Nolin and John Turner
have been deadly enemies for years
and their friends have always en-
deavored to keep them apart.
They came together, however, and
commenced shooting at each other.
Nolin was not hurt, but Turner
was shot through the heart and
fell dead.
By this time Nolin had dis
charged all the loads in his revol-
yer, but the fight was not over.
Will Turner arrived and attack
ed Nolin. Turner had no revolver,
and the two men drew knives and
slashed at each other viciously I.
Turner was fatally cut. Nolin's in
juries are not considered serious.

Where Are They At.

Carolina Spartan.
1t is difficult for one to locate
himself politically these days,
when people are planning and
scheming for office and brothers of
the same household are quarreling
and wrangling, and some old SOL
diers are sulking in their tents, or
else deserting the ranks altogether.
Within the last month we have
heard several out-and-out Conser-
vatives says that in the race for
Senate between Tillman and But
Ter, they did not care a cent which
won, that they seemed to occupy
the same platform, except that
Butler had crowded a little farther
on it and seemed to straddle a lit
tie wider than Tillman. On the
other hand, some good Reformers,
the dyed-in-the-wool sort, were
talking the other day and they
6iI4Ih tbf1-
out making much fuss about it,
was as good Reformer as they
wanted, and then be had sixteen
years experience in the Senate and
a WIDE influence with members
and that he could do the farmers
more good than any new man they
could send. That is the way peo-
pie are talking. It seems that they
are getting somewhat mixed. It
would he strange sight to see the
Conservatives shouting for Till
man for Senate and the Reformers
booming up Butler. We need a
political Hicks to tell US what
sort of weather we are going to
have from the first of June to No.
vember.

Glad the Cause Was Lost.

New Orleans Picryune.
Judge Emory Speer of Savannah
Ga., who is native of that State
and was soldier in the Confede-
rate army at the age of 16, made a
a sensation the other day by going
out of the way in his address to
the grand jury to. deliver a little
lecture on the outcome of the late
war. He said that he was glad
that the lost cause was lost, and
that it was far better for the South
and for the whole country that
it was so. If the Southern States
had triumphed in the struggle th e
Confederacy would have had to
maintain & lerge standing army
to keep its borders heavily fortified
and guarded, aud would have been
in continual warfare with the
spirited and determined people
of the North. 1t would by this
time have been under the dominion
of a military oligarchy, and the
masses of the people would have
been impoverished and down
trodden. AS it is, we have a united
