TIE WlIISKEl WAS FOUND.
But the Charge of Embcznlcmcnt
Wasn't Sustained.


An interesting case was heard ytster-
day in Justice Frank Cdrter's court, in
which f. X. Hunter charged Harrison l..
Lindsey with embezzlcment. The case
was returnable before Justice J. NJ. Israel
but was removed to Justice Garter on
affidavit. 1t appeared that Hunter
and Lindsey quite while ago were
engaged in a sort OF blind tiger
business on Newfound creek OH
GERS discovered the game and Hunter
was arrested, tried and sent to the
county roads tor year. Lindsey went
to Tennessee but returned, plead guilty
and was punished for his part in the
affair.
Hunter brought the charge Of embez-
element on the ground that Lindsey had
not turned over all of the receipts from
tAe partnership And here the funny
part of the case developed. 1t seems
that when Hunter was arrested Lindsey
hid 100 gallons of the wh,skey in the
woods. The news got out i'll the settl,
ment and there was vigorous search
for the wet goods. The stuff was finally
found ard the hunters proceeded to have
iollifcation, it is said, such as seldom
kn,wn. There was swarm about the
spot like unto that of flies about honey
jar, and the enj nyment kept up until the
exhilarant was exhausted,
The evidence went to show that Hun
ter had s mt Lindsey word to sell the
whiskey and get the money ir it if he
could and, if not. he should knock in the
heads of the casks. Justice Garter adj
Judged that there had bten no embezzlc-
ment. discharged Lindsey and taxed the
prosecutor with the costs, which
amounted to nearly So Luther &
Stevens appeared for the State, and
Chas. A. Moore for the defendant,

Members Oft state Guard Interested
in the Next Legislature.
No class of cltizens is more interest d
in the capture o. the legislature by the
Republicans and Populists than the
members of the State Guard. 1t is feared
that among the many changes expected
to be made will be the abolition of the
Guard, or. at least, the withdrawal OF
the annual appropriation given the com
panies OF the State. The R,publicans, 1t
is believed. will vote against the appro-
priation, if the remarks in the past OF
some of their leaders be taken in earnest
The amount received each wear by the
Asheville Light Infantry is $3.50. In ad.
dton, the United States furnishes Ger.
tain amount Of cloth for uniforms. And
moreover. it is bel eyed that whatever
the legislation on the matter, the Ashe
vile people will see to it that their com
pany does not disband.

FIVE PER CENT.

The New York Banks Are All Ready

The Bonds and Selling Them.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 13.-There is no
longer any doubt that an issue OF bonds
has been definitely decided upon, and it
can be stated on authority that circu.
lar asking for bids will be issued during
the present week and probably tonight
or tomorrow. 1t is fully realized that
the gold reserve has now reached point
where it could be completely wiped out
by a few heavy shipments, and it is
thought to be the part Of wisdom not to
wait until gold in the treasury is practi
cally exhausted before making aneffort to
rccoup it.

wrote to President Stewart Of the United

bonds, and asking his opinion as to
which class of bonds could be placed at
this time to the greatest advantage to
the government. The result of this cor.
respondence was that the President and
Mr.. Carlisle decided to make the forth
coming issue the same in amount and
rate and in nearly all other important
particulars same as the February issue.

at the treasury department that a cir

These gentlemen gathered to discuss
the impending government loan. Tie
consensus of opinion was that the bank

Expected that investors will subscribe

HERE'S YOUR BENEFIT.

The REPRESENTATIVE publishes
elsewhere an article from the Mime
apolis Times announcing big adj
vance in freight on wheat, flour and
grain products between the Twin
Cities and Chicago. The advance
amounts to 20 per cent, and will go in
to effect Dec. 1. 1t will be the high
est rate charged between those points
for ten years past.
This is one of the immediate results
of the recent Republican 'landslide"
and defeat Of the Peoples party. The
railways take this result as an indica-
tion that there will be no further at
tempts at controlling their charges,
and are acting accordingly. The ad-
vance amounts to u cents per bushel
on wheat and depreciates the value Of
every bushel of that article in the
Northwest by just that amount, be-
cause the price of wheat is fixed in
Liverpool and the freight has to be
deducted with other charges. The
farmer who has 900 bushels of wheat
on hand Is just SIS poorer by this ac-
ton of the railways and others in pro-
portion.
The total loss to the farmers of the
Northwest is enormous, but perhaps a
few more ''swipes' like this will open
their ewes

To read the article below it would
likely be guessed that it was written
by some hot-headed calamity bowler
of the South or West But not so; 1t
is the calm and deliberate judgment
of thinking man, the editor of an
English paper, the London Echo. If
we are too blind to see into what we
are drifting, other nations calmly look
ing on, are not. 1t says:
1.-The signs Of the times indicate
that before the sun rises on January
|, 1900, the great American nation will
groan and writhe in an agony of revo-
luton, and the streets of her great
cities will be slippery with blood-a
hundred drops of blood for each gem
that flashes on the necks of the rich
and pampered women, and ten drops
of blood for each tear that has washed
the face of the poor. Politics is SO rot
ten that it stinks. Everybody knows
it and no one cares. America is no
longer republic. 1t is a plutOcracy
The president is merely the creation
of bank directors, railroad kings and

be relied upon to vote for the rich, and
nine-tenths Of them would shoulder
their muskets and lay down their lives
in defense of the right of the rich to
rob them, A nation such as this, in
which one million plutocrats tyran-
ize over sixty million slaves, will be
either overthrown by foreign foe or
die of gangrene. The various labor or
CARNATIONS neither think together,
vote together, nor work together, and
they have no money to buy votes, law
yers and judges. Soldiers and police
shoot down laboring people and are
cheered on in their bloody work by
monopolists and the clergy. But the
day will soon come when there will be
a horrible dance to death, lighted mp by
burning houses and the music of cries
and groans and dynamite and bombs.
Rich idlers amuse themselves at New
port and Tuxedo; poor workers toll
ceaSelessly in the darkness of the mine
and the din of the mill. Young men
and women dawdle over iced cham

Piety in the White house enjoying the
