4 MISTAKE.

That part of the allegations in Cheat
hams notice to Woodland which saws
that when votes were counted all were
excluded except few whom the Dem
ocratic poll-holders allowed to be pres
ent, is mistake as to Scotland Neck.
The doors were opened and any and
everybody who desired went in and out
at pleasure. A large crowd of voters,
black and white, stood at the elbows of
those who counted all through the
count. There was no effort whatever
to keep any one from seeing everything.
AS to other precincts we can not saw.
but for Scotland Neck we speak from
personal knowledge. All came and
went and came again if they desired to
DO so.

MR.. BIGGS SAYS THE "OR
PHANS' FRIEND" IS IN mex
CTSABLE ERROR.
Editor Demo 4:

Editor Democrat
In a recent issue of the Orphans
Friend it was stated that at other or
phan asylums in the State there is de-
discrimination in receiv
ing orphans. 1t was stated in that pa
per that at the Presbyterian Orphan
age only the children of Presbyterians
are received at the Episcopal Orphan
age only the children of Episcopalians
are received, and so of the Odd Fellows
Orphanage.
Now, l have made inquiries Of the
Episcopalians, and at their Orphanage
they receive children from all denomi-
nations. So do the Odd Fellows at
Goldsboro, and l am sure the Presby-
terians do also.
There are six children from this town
and community at the Baptist Orphan
age at Thomasyille, and not one OF
them is from Baptist family.
can not see why the editor of the
Orphans Friend should make the
statement he did make. There was nc
excuse for ignorance, as he might have
inquired into the matter before making
the charge. If it was from prejudice
he is not fitted for the position which
he occupies.
am tired of the sickly sentiment
that if the State should withdraw the
$4,000 the poor little orphans woulc
be turned out into the cold. There /.
too much money and religion with the
Masons and Methodists to allow any
thing Of the kind.
The other orphanages of the State Dc
not receive State aid, and they do no
turn the little orphans out to the colo
world.
venture the assertion that the Su
perintendent of the Oxford Orphan
Asylum gets twice as much money 70
his services as any other such Superln
tendent in the State.
Why does he get so much more? |
he worth SO much more than the 9th
ers? Or, is there more money Their
than at the other places?
Lessen the expense and they will no
need so much help. AS a taxpayer il
our State / have a right to ask tn
above questions. Noah BIGGs.

Now Is THE TINE.
entire countr,

The benefit to be derived from a good
medicine in early spring is undoubted
but many people neglect taking any
until the approach of warmer weather,
when they wilt like tender flower In
hot sun. Something must be done
to purify the blood, overcome that
tired feeling and give necessary
strength. Vacation Is earnestly longed
for, but many weeks, perhaps months,
must elapse before rest can be INDUCED
in. To impart strength, and to give a
feeling of health and vigor throughout
the system, there is nothing equal to
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t seems perfect
ly adopted to overcome that prostration
caused by change of season, climate or
life, and while it tones and sustains the
system it purifies and renoyates the
blood.

The experience of Mr.. r. D. Whitley

The experience of Mr.. R. D. Whitley
an influential and prominent citizen OF
Martindale, North Carolina, will no
doubt be prused with interest by peo-
pie in all parts of the country. For
years he has been subject to violent at
tacks of infammatory rheumatism on
the first OF February he had an attack
which settled in one Of his knees and
caused almost unbearable para, for two
days. He obtained bottle of Cham
berlain's Pain Balm from W. M. Hous-
ton & Co., merchants at Mecklinburg
City, N. C. He writes that it gave al
most immediate relief and gives Cham
berlain's Pain Balm the highest praise,
and advises all persons troubled with
like affections to use it and get relief.

Il GREE WITH THE DEMOCRAT

A number of our readers have in
formed Us that they agree with The
DEMOCRAT on the matter of contested
elections Every man, they say, ought
to pay his own expenses in such cases
whether he wins or loses. 1t is wrong
in principle, we believe, for the gov
eminent to pay the expenses OF con-
tested elections. We believe also that
Congress will have to see it so, sooner

SIX PER CENT.
The Bill Passed.

In the Legislature Monday, nothing
tranepired of special importance beyond
the 6 per cent interest bill.
In the Senate great many private
and local bills were attended to; but OF
no very great importance.
In the House Mr.. Speas introduced
a resolution calling for a reduction OF
salaries. commissions and fees Of all
county and State officers
This last petition sets forth that, as all
wealth is the product Of labor, and
these salaries and fees are paid by the
deprecated labor, while the salaries re-
main the same as when labor was more
remunerative, these salaries should be
reduced to conform to the reduction OF
labor.
Then the interest bill was taken up.
The discussion was not long as one
member gave notice that he should call
the previous question in a certain time.
| There we're various amendments offer
ed to the bill.
Ray offered the following substitute =:
That the legal rate shall be 7 per cent.
and the penalty shall be the forfeiture
of entire interest, and in case of action
at law, which shall be taken within two
years, the payee Of the interest shall re-
cover double the amount of interest
paid by him.
Ewart sent up seven amendments :
No. l, nothing shall prevent any coun-
tv from refunding its debt at a greater
rate than 6 per cent. End, exemptlng
building and loan associations Bird,
exempting call loans from the opera
ton of the bill 4th, exempting Hen
derson county 9Th, to submit the
question to the qualified voters OF the
State 9th, that the law shall not &C
into effect until Jan. l, 1896; 7th, tc
make the rate per cent. instead OF {

tute for the bill. Winborne (substitute,
striking out mo more" after line 2
Monroe (amendment), shall not apply
to the county of Wayne. McClammS
(three amend1nents), shall not in any
way affect discounts in commercial pa
per to except penalties shall not apply
to any one in this State unless they ap
ply also to National Banks.
French's' amendment provided tina
In loans of 800 or over for not more
than ninety days, secured by collatera
such as stock, warehouse receipts, &c.
1t shall be unlawful to collect specia
contract rates not exceeding per cent
per annum.
Mr. French said this was for the ben
eft of merchants who wanted tempo
rary loan, and was doubtful of the goo(
of the law proposed in this bill any
way that the borrower and lende
must get together; that it was aImos
impossible to regulate this rate.
Mr. PEBBLES sent up the following
amendment providing at the end O
section 2 that the same penalties be Ell
forced against National Banks, a
against others within the State.
Alter many other amendments which
were all lost, the bill was put on it
original form and passed by vote o
76 to Is.

THE TURKISH DRAMA.

After three weeks of lodging and du- pllieity, Sultan Abdul Hamid has issued an trade permitting the waiting powers to send extra guardships up to Con stanltinople through the Dartdanelles and Sea of Mar1mora It is to be hoped thIaIt, having had the courage to insist upon the concession from the bloody scoundrel who trenb.es in Yeldiz Kiosk, the powers will further demand an immediate cessation of the Armen- ian massacres and then depose the sul- tan as treadh erous semi ni-savage who ought never to have been admitted to the 'fconcer't of EuuIope'' Possibly the compulsory yieldimg by the sul an to the extra guardship demand of the powers will fan the flames of insgrrec- tion among his own Moh almmedan sub- jects and lead to disorders which he cannot suppr e5s. In uhat case, the powers have but one duty ito perform and that is to end the Ottoman Turk ish power lforever in Europe and Asie Minor and in Syria.
 The English people today are not such ardent believers of Jhe doetrine of the Duke of Wellington and his school that the Turkish empire should be mafntiafned for the benefit of Christian Europe and to save Ohris ians from a conltne eniJal war. The f.radi.donaG'' English policy has proven a curse to the Christian subjects of the sultan. who haEe, from time ito time since the treaty of Paris, of 1856, admitted Tur- key to the concert of Europe, been mercilessHy slaughtered by tlhe Turk ish masters. England is directly re- spaonsible for these hIdeoussnassac cres because, for fifty years she has declared her1sef the guardian of the Turk and his best ftiend and ally. The clock is about strtikimg F on this infamous Anglo- Turkish aIIlanIce. England irs about to reap the fruit of her infamous Turk supporting policy. Russia has given her vital trade interests in the far Orient desperate stab by her re- cently- Chinese policy. which means aggression toward British Oriental interests. Lord Roberts, high English miIitar,y authority, said the other day that itf England would maintadn her comm erclaIl supremacy in the Orient she must prepare for more stautDing and unexpected events than have occurred during the past year. Englandls Turkish policy has blocked Russia out of free access to the Mediterranean, butt Russ.a has burst through the Chinese barrier to south ern water front on the Palcific and will bide her time to make the Bosporus and the. DardeneEtes free highways for her navy.
