Tarboro, N. c., May 1s.-(Special. )--
OF late considerable interest has been
taken towards the erection of a suita-
BILE and fitting monument to the men,
ory Of the late Gen w. ID. Pender,
whose reputation as an officer in the
Confederate service has become a ma
tional one. Several attempts since
the war have been made but they have
all proved to be failures. A Fender
Memorial Association has been organ
lied here by the children, and it is
their intention to raise as much money
as they can to put up the monument.
The first one of their entertainments
was given in the City Hall Friday
night. under the supervision of Miss
Annie Farrar. The opera house was
well filled and the proceeds amounted

Fusion between the Populists and
Republicans in this county seems to be
lost. The Populists will not allow a
negro on the ticket, and the Republic
cans say they will not fuse, unless a
negro is put on the ticket. Several
years ago. a fusion between the Pop
ulists and Republicans was Matched
up. and the ticket had a negro on it,
but so great was the indignation
aroused on this account, that the
populists have not since that time re-
peated it, From the action of the
colored people in Edgecombe, they
seem this year to be drawing the color
line more vigorously than the Demo
Gratis have ever done. Their actions

prove that they are absolutely ayeTse

The LYncHERs 70 BE TRIED.
Intense Excitement and Many Arrests
in Mitchell County.

BakersvilIe, II. c., May 18.--( Especially
Three weeks ago Robert Cham
bers and Richard Avery, both col
ored, employees on the Bellevue
farm. owned and operated by
Col. Minson. near Cranberry, in this
county, were charged with burning a
sheep house on the farm, but before
their arrest Chambers was caught en-
tering the sleeping room of Mrs VIII
son with q bottle OF chloroform pre-
sunably to chloroform her and then
assault her. He was seized, and the
next day he and Avery, whose arrest
follow ed. were carried before Esquire
Perry, I'D Cranberry, for preliminary
hearing. At night they were put in
custody Of some deputized officers, who
held them to the hour of o'clock,
when q masked mob Of about thirty
men seized them, hand-cuffed them,
and, screaming and yelling, they were
carried about mile from town, where
Avery made his escape, but Chambers
was hand-cnffed TO a sappliDg and
stoned to death. When found next
day, three or four bushels Of rocks
were piled around him, and his head,
face, and arms were beaten and crush
ed into a jelly.
Dir. presswood, coroner, held an in
quest and returned a verdict that the
deceased came to his death at the
hands of an unknown mob, and excite
ment had nearly abated when his
Honor Judge Brown, opened the spring
term of Mitchell Superior court on Mon
day, May 18th, and charged the grand
jury to diligently inquire into all mobs
and Iynchings, but before this jury
had time to act, his Honor had issued
number of bench warrants and the
sheriff, aided by a few efficient depu-
ties, brought dozen or more of the
alleged lynchers into court.
Friday an investigation was made in
open court and w. G.. Ashley, Bud
Justice, Jas. Stewart, g. i. Vance, Lee
johnson and Samuel Greer were held
in heavy bonds to appear at the next
term of Mcdowell Superior court, they
being barred from trial in the county
where the crime was committed by a
recent statute. Intense excitement
prevails and number OF other arrests
are expected soon.
j. Bis Ray, who slew Weyland Hoss,
in Burnsville, Yancey county, on the
goth of May, 1895, was tried here in
the Superior court and acquitted. The
case excited great interest on accounts
of the high charactero of the accused and
the fact that the two men were the
closest bosom friends. While drunk
Hoss attempted to enter Rays room
demanding the loan of pistol which
he (Ray) refused, whereupon Hoss
thrust his hand in his pocket, telling
him he would settle it with him now
when Ray shot him dead. Both sides
were represented by able counsel, the
jury was an unusually intelligent one
| and the verdict meets general APP
proval.
The superior of Judge Geo. fl. Brown
never presided at this court. His pro.
found knowledge of the law, his thor
oughly impartial charges and rulings
his dignifed, yet easy and affable man,
ners, his sparkling wit and command
ing appearance have endeared him to
the people of this section.

THE COST OF THE RIVER AND
HARB0R BILL.

There are few individuals or corpora
itions that have not been compelled to
economic in every direction. these dull
times. The clear duty of Congress at
this session was to follow the admoni-
tions of Mr.. Tilden to spend less than
the income, and yet the extravaganza
has been greater than even in the bill
lion dollar Congress. Take the one
item of appropriations in the River and
Harbor bill. The total amount IS $780,
100000. OF this sum $4,000 is TO be
expended in North Carolina. North
Carolina win pay 81 100000 Deducting
the amounts to be expended in North
Carolina from the taxes to be imposed
on North Carolina for the whole ex-
pense, leaves an excess of $1,G5s,0O0
that the taxpayers must pay on this
one item. That is TO say, the river and
harbor appropriation puts tax Of one
dollar on every man, woman and child
in the State for the next year. 1T is
difficult enough for most people to pay
their necessary expenses without being
burdened with additional ones.
The following appropriations for the
past twelve years will serve to show the
reckless increase in these hard times:

1 NORTH CAROLINA PRECEDENT

The Fayetteville Observer calls at
tention to the fact that in his speech
in the Senate, in closing the debate
on the question of seating Mr.. Dupont
az Senator from Delaware, Senator
Cray, of Delaware, used the argument
of Governor Winslow and the action OF
the North Carolina Senate as prece-
dent. As is known, the question Of Mr..
Dupont's right TO his seat hinged on
the question whether Governor Watson,
who succeeded the deceased Governor
of Delaware, could continue to exercise
the duties of State Senator and vote
for United States Senator. The Pop
ulists voted with the Democrats that
the presiding officer OF the State Senate
did not lose his right to vote in the
Senate when the death Of the Governor
deyolyed upon him the duties Of Gov
ernor That portion of Senator Gray's
argument, in which he referred to Gov
ernor Watson's speech, is as follows:
ssIn the State of North Carolina, back
in 1854, under q constitution which
provided that
Mr.. George.-It is the same thing.
Mr.. Gray.-Here it is exercise the
Office Of Governor" In 1854 there was
a vacancy in the Office Of Governor in
the Old North State, occasioned by the
election, / think, of the Governor to
the Senate of the United States. Mr..
President lMr. Butler in the chair,
YOU are more familiar with that case
than / am, but / am going to state II
to the Senate.
Nr. Chandler VIII the Senator
from Delaware give the date of that
case?
Mr.. Gray-Tt was in December, 1864.
When the vacancy occurred ins the
Office Of Governor, the Speaker OF the
Senate. or the President Of the Senate,
| do not know which he is called, un.
dertook to exercise the powers of Gov
ernor. There was a resolution intrO-
duced In the Senate, in substance, IL
not in words, to the effect that the
Speaker of the Senate, by assuming TO
exercise the powers of Governor had
thereby vacated his seat as Senator
end his Office as Speaker; and that
question was debated.
| have here the speech 10 eXtenSo OF
Hon. Warren Winslow, who was the
Speaker of the Senate, or the President
OF the Senate do not know which he
is calied-who exercised the powers of
Governor, in defense of his right to
continue Senator and Speaker. 1t is n
speech which I would be very glad IL
j could have made in this case, because
ii is the most concise, compact, and
thorough argument on this very ques-
ton that i have ever seen. i have rare
ly seen so much law and eloquence
within the same compass. Mr.. Wins
lew defended it not as a right personal
to himself, but he defended his propo-
sition on the ground that he was bound
to stand up for the right of his constit-
uents to be represented on the floor OF
the Senate, and he did it in this power

At the end of the debate the Senate de
cided that under the Constitution OF
North Carolina he continued Speaker
