There are just about eight cuckoo
office-holders of the E. D. Mckee
stripe in Portland, and we move
that these eight be made delegates
to the gold bug convention to be
held in Indianapolis. They are all
getting good stated salaries and, of
course, are in the proper mood to
thoroughly sympathize with the
man who has produce or labor to
sell. If they don't want to pay
their own expenses to Indianapolis
let them draw on Mark Hanna for
the amount.

The army is now about 600 short
of its maximum Of $4,000, but the
enlistment returns for June show
slight increase in numbers over
preceding months; 779 men were
enlisted in June, as against 749 in
May, 697 in April, 59S in March,
43I in February, $50 in January
and 673 in December. AS an
interesting fact in connection with
these figures, it has been pointed
out that in most of the months the
greatest number of enlistments were
at the recruiting stations in the
various cities. The new system of
recruiting is working satisfactorily,
and the character of the men is
improving, it is said.

One item of news that used to be
never failing has been taken from
the newspapers along the line of the
o. c. & E. That was the item of
pay day on the railroad. Under the
old receiverships it used to be an
ever-fowing source of news and
comment. Two or three weeks be-
fore the time for a monthly pay day
came came around it was always in
order to estimate, speculate and
guess on the probable percentage of
wages the employees would receive
at the next pay day. And if pay
day was delayed or omitted alto
gether, as it frequently was, then
there followed the usual amount of
comment and condemnation. After
the pay car had made its spasmodic
trip and had doled out its percent
age of pay to the boys, then at least
two weeks items were secured on
account of the excess or shortage
from what had been previously pre-
dicted, and various reasons were al
ways advanced therefor. Now it is
all changed. Pay days come and
pay days go, but no comments are
excited thereby. There is sameness
to all of these pay days that brings
JOY to the hearts of the employees of
the railroad, but it brings no items
the newspaper Offices. One pay day
does not differ now from the one
that has gone before it, nor the one
that will follow after. The men are
promptly paid all that is due them
and that ends it. There is no more
speculation as to when there will be
another pay day, and what per cent
of wages will be paid. These items
seem to be thing of the past for
ever. Now no kick can be made
because of the pro rata is not what
it ought to be. There are no more
dark hints that some receiver is
pocketing the money that ought to
be paid out for wages. In fact, pay
day items belong to the dim and
misty past. While the papers miss
their items they all manage to ad-
just themselves to the changed con-
dition with a resignation that could
not be expected from anyone that
was not so perfect and pure as the
Oregon editor.

States Evidence in BroUton Bridge
Case Finished
Aiken. S. c., Oct 28. The State to-
day finished it's direct evidence in the
Broxton Bridge trial, and the examina-
ton of Witnesses for the defense was
begun. The evidence for the prosecu-
ton was mainly corroborative of that
given yesterday, many witnesses testi-
flying to seeing the defendants togeth-
er ON the night Of December 2, 1895,
riding along the roads Of Colleton
county with Isom and Rosa Kearse and
Hannah Walker led like dogs behind
the buggies, having ropes around their
neclSs. Rosa Kearse was the chief wit
ness for the State.
She told how the defendants captur-
ed her and led her behind a buggy;
when she could not keep UP with the
buggy she fell and was dragged by the
strap around her neck. When Hanr D
Walker was caught she said; Fore
God amt done nuttin' to de Buckrat,
and DR. Alderman replied: Yes,
that's what we hate, and we are going
to give YOU hell" Arrived at Broxton
Bridge. though the night was so bitter
~ cold that their heavily overcoated
captors built fires to warm by, the
three prisoners We're made TO strip
and were then severely beaten With
buggy traces. Tsom died in his tracks.
Hannah Walker ran off n few yards
and fell dead Rosa managed to put
ON her clothes after the torturers left,
and erURied to her uncle's home. All
efforts 10 shake her testimony failed.
The defense tried to make her admit
that Isom was whipped because he at
tempted to rape a white woman in
Barnwell county.
The line of the defense was clearly
indicated to-day. A play will be made
to the well-known Southern sentiment
about rape, especially rape of a white
woman by a negro. w. J. Harter, a
white man Of Barnwell county, has
made an affidavit that Isom Kearse last
July cursed his wife and lthreatened
to take her life, but there is nothing
about attempted rape in his affidavit.
Several witnesses for the defense We're
put on the stand to-day, and all testi-
fed that Isom Kearse had been in
hiding for months prior to December
2, 1895. The case may not go to the
jury tomorrow evening.

SERIOUS RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
Capt. Love and Mr.. Will Wynne Hurt
While Out Driving.

There lived in the long ago very
wise man who wrote: "a horse is a vain
thing for safety" And viii Wynne
came to the conclusion yesterday that
Solomon knew whereof he spoke.
With his young horse, which is terri
bly, afraid of a street car, Mr.. Wynne
started out at o'clock for ride, ac-
companied by MrW.H. Blacknall, chief
train dispatcher of the Seaboard Air
Line. All went well until they reached
st. Mary's. on Hillsboro street. There
the animal took fright at passing car,
ran away, threw the occupants out of
the vehicle and then made a perfect
wreck of that before ending his wild
race near the Fair grounds.
Mr.. Wynne received q serious flesh
wound over his left eye and a few
scratches and bruises. lie was taken
to Simpsons drug store and his
wounds, which bled freely, were soon
dressed by DR.. Wrenn. Mr.. Blaclonall
was more fortunate, escaping without
any injury whatever.
Earle in the day Capt. r. +. Love
also suffered seriously from an acct
dent OF the sarc kind. lie was driving
quietly along the treet when a drunk
en- man from Cary ran into him with
a wagon, overthrowing his buggy and

JIM YoUNG's BAD RECORD.
An Independent Sets Forth Reasons
Why He Should Not be Elected.

Nelson O'Kelly, independent Repub-
lican candidate for the Legislature,
has issued an address to the voters
of Wake county. In it he attacks Jim
Young's record and gives the following
reasons why he is unfit for q repre-
sentative of the people:
]. James III. Young, recently nomi-
mated in a packed convention, in our
opinion, is unfit to represent the Re-
publican party in general, and the
colored Republicans in particular, of
Wake county, because of the fact that
he agreed that Mr.. O'Kelly should
have the nomination and then packed
the convention against him. Soon af-
ter the Democrats nominated Bryan
and Sewall, the said James II. Young
made speeches for them in several
places in this county and bolted the
Republican ticket, making the state
ment in his paper and elsewhere that
Mckinley, the Republican nominee for
President, must be taken down in this
State, which meant that we would have
to vote the Democratic ticket. The said
Young is not now making any speeches
for Mckinley. We do not know where
he stands, on silver or gold, and can
not trust him. The said Young, we
hGltGfN. Is uISttAOlE III HIS pom bIC&Al w d4S
and will not do to represent us when
he is in the Democratic party to-day
and the Republican party tomorrow
?. We also recall the record of the
said James III. Young in the last Leg
islature. He was elected to that body
by Republicans, but after his election
he voted with the Democrats in that
body more times than once. He voted
to appoint three Democratic magis-
trates over the protest of the leading
Republicans of the city of Raleigh and
Wake county, white and black. He also
refused to introduce a bill for pre-
venting prisoners who are confined i'm
the work house simply for costs from
wearing stripes; he also voted to seat
Capt. PEBBLES in the contest from
Northampton county over a good Re
publican who was considered to be
entitled to the seat; even Capt. PEBBLES
himself, it is said, did not expect to be
seated He also voted for Edwards g.
Broughton to have the State printing
against Barnes Bros. (good Populists)
and Goslin Ca good Republican,, whose
bids were fair and reasonable. lie
voted for Broughton and other Demo-
Gratis during the Legislature and is now
abusing them ON the stump. We
think he is inconsistent. He also fought
against the bill that gave six per cent.
interest to the poor people who bor-
rowed money in North Carolina.
3. James II. Young said that he was
his own boss when he was elected to
the Legislature and would do as he
pleased. We do not want any bosses.
When we elect men to represent us
they are our servants. Again, the said
James II. Young, il he continues IN
his career, will break up the Repub-
lican party by his effort to draw the
color line and shut out our white
friends from participating in the con-
yentions.

RUSSEII.ISM.

The hand of progress in North Caro-
lima would be stayed for twenty years
if Russell is elected Governor. He is
not the consistent man cut out for a
ruler, but bigot and despot in his
nature. His administration would be
one of yindictiveness and spite for the
people of his native State, the better
element of which would never trust
him.
He panders to the baser element,
while communism and the cultivation
of race prejudice are as sweet morsels
under his tongue. This has been his
political course, and we cannot think
the people of the State favor such a
man for Governor.
His high office, if he is elected, as
we may judge from his past record,
would not be for the promotion of
prosperity and fraternal feeling, but
would be prostituted for revenge, and
anything but for the promotion of
peaceaible and progressive State

seeder. 1t seems to be communica-
ton and is signed Bob" This anony-
nous scribbler indirectly charges me
with writing an article in the News and

is charged with knowing that the regis
tration book in the Second ward was
lost before Saturday, and that this was
known to be false when written.
| did not write the article referred
to and believe the man who makes
the charge in the Hayseeder knew it.
However that may be, he is contemp-
tible coward in that he makes the at
tack and then has not the courage to
sign his miserable name to it. OF all
the loathsome things in this world
there is nothing more detestable than
such human vermin as he who thus
crawls under cover, not daring to show
his head, and strikes in the dark.
