SUFFERING AT CuMNoCK.


4 few days ago the readers OF this
paper were shocked TO read of the ter
r;ble explosion ut the Cumnock mines
formerly Egypt, in Chatham county,
and the awful death of forty-three
miners.
The coal company gave burial to the
men, they are giving rent and fuel to
their families, and have given them
the bread and meat to keep the wolf
from the door. But the news comes
that in this cold weather many of the
newly made orphans have not cloth
ing to keep them warm, and that there
is hunger among the poor widows and
their orphan children
The people at the mines and the
farmers in the surrounding country
have been helpful, but this is such q
wholesale afiliction that no single
OF rendering the much needed help.
It is time when the people of the
whole State ought to come up 10 the
help OF the starving and the suffering.
1t will require this large charity If
hunger and cold do not make Il perma-
net abode in the homes of these I'M
fortunate people, bereft by great
calamity Of their only bread winner.
We publish elsewhere "A call from
Mayor Russ TO the people of Raleigh
to give money, provisions and clothes
to these unfortunate people. All the
churches in Raleigh, white and color
ed, will take up collection Sunday
morning, and Mr.. John II. Pullen will
go up to Cumnock to carry what the
generosity of the people cause them
to give.
This is a call that ought to find a
ready response all over the State. The
News and Observer will take pleasure
in receiving any contributions, and
seeing that they are properly applied.
The Fifth Street Methodist church
in Wilmington took up collection for
this cause last Sunday. Every church
ought to do so tomorrow.
Reader: Sitting by your coy fire,
in your comfortable home, will you
not enjoy your own blessings more if
you help these suffering neighbors?

President Dole wants Hawaii to be a
part of the United States, but wants it
to come in on different basis from
any territory or State. He wants a
special dispensation. probably by
which he can be President for life and
draw his salary from the Federal
Treasury. We do not want any more
States or territories with negro ma
jorities, even if joined to the Republic.
Most of all, we do not want to go into
the business of annexing islands in the
far away Pacific. This Government
ought to establish protectorate over
Hawaii just far enough to prevent it's
going into the hands of any other
country, SO we can use it as Il coaling
station. And that's all we want with
Hawaii /.

many noted Democrats reviewed the
followers of Bryan and Sewall as they
passed. Over 10000 men were in line.

manded for week without bail The
| prisoners, who claim to be well known
| in New York and San Francisco, are
receiving many kilograms and letters
of sympathy and receiving offers of
assistance from all parts Of America

| character of Mr.. and Mrs. Castle. and
| the mayor of San Francisco, the attor-
ncy general of California, and Baron
RothschiId will certify to their respect

Physicians have examined Mrs. Cas-
tie since her incarceration. with a view
of ascertaining her exact mental con-
dition. and their examination resulted
in their determination to support the
defence in obtaining the services of spe-
cial medical experts to appear at the
hearing of the case of the lady and her
husband, which will come up, Tues

obtain bail. United States Consul Gem
