FoR THE LEGIsLATuRE.

In this issue we publish a
communication from Lebanon
Township, naming Capt. +. j.
Parrish, of Durham, as a fit and
proper man for the people of the
county to send to Raleigh as
their representative in the next
Legislature.
For several weeks there has
been considerable interest man.
ifested by members of all the
parties to know who would be
the most satisfactory and avail.
able candidate. 1t appears to us
that Lebanon" has solved the
problem in suggesting a man
who commands the confidence
and respect of a large element
in all the parties.
We can think of no man in
the county better or more favor
ably known, no one in whom
the public can place their inter.
est with more emplicit faith, and
the RECORDER takes pleasure in
seconding his nomination.
When such interest are involv-
ed, it is time for patty lines to
be obliterated in home affairs,
and for every good citizen to
support a man upon whose
judgement and integrity we can
all rely.

From The Chattanooga News

i ~ NSSANnhSNN1 ANS"S
Effective today. the passenger
rate from Chattanooga to Wash.
ington, New York and alleastern
points is advanced one dollar. In
making the announcement of the
advance a few days ago, The
News published an interview with
a local railroad man, who desired
his name withheld, stating that
the increase in rates was due to
the determination of the Seaboard
Air Line to come into this terri.
tory.
Local Agent Hamblen, of the
Seaboard Air Line, this morning
received the following salty let.
ter from General Passenger Agent
Anderson, of the company, OIL the
subject:
Mr.. ANDERsoN's LETTER.
"Your letter of the 18th with
copy of The News Of that date, in
which the statement is made that
the increase Of fare from Cllatta.
nooga to eastern points is the re.
suit Of the Seaboard Air Line
coming into that territory, is just
received this morning. The News
has been grossly deceived con-
corning the part of the Seaboard
Air Line in this matter. oThe
increase in fare from Chattauoo.
ga to the east is not the result OF
the Seaboard Air Line coming
into that territory. The truth is
that the Seaboard Air Line never
has proposed to increase any rate
to or from Chattanooga. The de-
mand Of the Seaboard Air Line
was that the lowest rates in effect
between Chattanooga via Atlanta
and points OH their linesin North
Carolina and Virginia and the
east should be reduced to at least
such figures as would obviate tie
necessity Of increasing any Chat.
tanooga rate. In order to remove
every obstacle in the way Of such
a reduction, the Seabord Air Line
did actually reduce their rates
from Atlanta to North Carolina
and Virginia points, and did act.
ually put the reduced rates into
effect from all points on their
lines in North Carolina and Wiz
ginia to Chattanooga on April
IS. Had the Seaboard Air Line
been the initial line at either
Chattanooga or Washington, they
would have adopted the lowest
rates In effect between said points
on the same date. Being the I'M.

Ii this command was carried

BUTLER PLEADS FOR UNION.

Senator Marion Butler, chair
man of the Populist National
Committee, telegraphed the fol
lowing to the Atlanta Journal
which appeared in that paper
yesterday morning. 1t is a re-
ply to an interview had with
Senator Jones, of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee,
and published in the New York
World last Monday, in which
he criticised the Southern popu
lists. Senator Butler pleads for
union and warns the people of
the evil that would follow the
election of Mckinley next No.
vember. Chairman Buffers
statement, which was signed,
is as follows:
"You wire me purporting to
the interview with Chairman
Jones, as it appears in Mondays
World, and ask me for a state-
ment with reference to the same.
/ am not prepared TO believe
Senator Jones was quoted cor
rectly. The election of McKin-
ley would mean not only four
years more Of Shermanism and
cleyelandism, but also many
additional and culminatiye res
sulting evils,
mo intelligent, patriotic yo-
ter, no true American citizen
can, by his action or inaction,
be responsible, directly or in
directly, for such threatened
calamity. The only possible
way that it can be averted, is
by a complete, harmonious and
enthusiastic union Of all parties
opposed to The destructive rule
of corporate greed and British
gold upon the candidates for
president and iice-president
that represent just the opposite
of what Mckinley and Hobart
represents. @-~.
what a humiliating and
sickening spectacle IL would be
should tie folly of personal am.
bltion and the demon Of party
spirit step into, confuse and di-
vide the allied majority and de-
liver the people into the hands
Of the enemies Of republican in.
sUlutlons. But THIS cannot, this
will not happen.
"The American people are not
now in any humor to be trified
with. They realize the cause
Of our evils, they fully appreci.
ate the threatened danger. They
will this year drive the British
money changers and their
American Tory allies from the
temple of liberty and take
charge Of their own affairs.
1T would be better for can.
didates and chairmen to do less
talking at the present. But In
spite Of the indiscretions Of in
dividuals and so.called leaders,
the American people have deter.
mined TO win the fight and they
will do IL. !"
