CARD FROM MIR. ovERCAsH.

To the Editor: j L. Graham, clerk TO
Superintendent Mebane published an ar
ticle in the Press-Visitor of last week in
which he made false statements concern
ing myself and boys, and | beg that you
publish the facts in the case. He says
the Oyercashes are men of worthless char
acter, and are mad at him because he had
them bound over to keep Ito peace. We are
not mad at him at all about that or any
thing else, as the twenty days binding
was the result of q little fuss that soon
blew over between myself and other par
ties. We are not ready to stand up a.
gafnst overwhelming evidence and say a
man is not guilty and join him in a baby
cry of political persecution for the pur-
pose of screening him from justice, even
if by so doing we do have to incur his
everlasting hatred and abuse. We can
say that our neighbors have never ac-
cused us of burning our houses or of
shooting our own toes to get insurance
money. am poor man as are my boys,
but with the one arm saved from the car
mage of q four years war / intend to
continue laboring in legitimate way 10
make an honest living. IL Graham had
written his article to the county papers
here where all parties are known / should
have paid little attention to him, but as
he resorts to State dailies / will do the
same. can furnish afidavits, if nee
essary, from all the good people here of
every shade of politics or religion TO es-
tablish my character. / am nearly sixty
years OF age and have always lived a.
mong people who did not vote as / did,
but have never been accused of crime by
my neighbors because I did not vote as
they did nor have ever known it to be
done TO any other man. / do not care
for Graham's foul slander of myself and
boys, but want the public to know the
incentive that prompted him to begin
and continue course that will help even
tually to bring him to justice.

A PoPULAR COUPLE MARRIED.

Windsor, N. c., March 12--(SpeciaD--
On yesterday near Colerain, BERTHE coun-
ty, at the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. w. z. Shaw, Jr., of Winton, was
united in the holy bonds of matrimOny
to Miss Rosa J. Britton, by the Rev. l..
M. Curtis. The scene was pretty one,
as the lovely bride clad in a gray travel
ling suite and the groom dressed in the
conventional black stood before the pas
tor and vowed eternal love and devotion
to each other. Lit was the meeting of
two hearts for life that beat in unison and
divine devotion.
The day was mellow and calm indica-
tive of the lives this young couple will
lead on their long and joyful journey.
The groom is Of the best North Caro-
lima stock, he being a son of ex-senator
Shaw, of Winton, a prominent man in
the mercantile world. The bride is the
charming daughter of the late Democrat
lie candidate for the legislature, Mr. d.
w. Britton, who is an extensive planter
and also engaged in the mercantile bust
ness.
We wish for this young couple the best
of life and may their journey be strewn
with roses whose perfume will make those
better for having, come in contact with
them.
We throw out luck rice at their feet,
as they start ON a bridal trip to Wash
ington Baltimore and other northern
cities

Wilmington Messenger.)

The Messenger yesterday published
! the statement that the General Assem-
| bly, on the eve OF its adjournment pass
| ed an act repeating chapter 1872 Of the
acts of 1895, providing for the collection
OF arrearages Of taxes due the city of
| Wilmington. There was, Of course,
much rejoicing among a large number
of our people who owe these back taxes,
|. but others who pay their taxes and have
borne the burden Of taxation are greatly
disgusted over the matter. There are
| about $130,000 in taxes due the city, run
| ming back for period Of ten to twenty
years, in most cases ten years, and due
by from 1900 to 1000 people.
We learn that to Colonel X. B. Davis
belongs the credit Of getting the re-
pealing act through the General Assem-
bly,. The friends of the measure re-
sent the statement that the bill was
''sneaked through" We learn that Sem
ator George II. Cannon, the representa-
tive for New Hanover and Brunswick
counties in the Senate, reported the bill
favorably from the committee on prOpo-
sitions and grievances, and that it pass
ed the House of Representatives about
two weeks ago and the Senate last
Tuesday. In the House of Representa-
tives Col. JnO. l.. Cunningham, of Per
son county, had charge of the BILL and
Senator George e. Butler Of Sampson
county, steered it in the Senate. 1t is
said Representative d. B. Sutton was
in the House when the repeating bill
passed and it was gotten through with
out his knowledge. 1t is said he was
terribly upset over the revelation that
it had passed and been ratified, and that
Governor Russell was in a very bad
humor over it.
There was much dissatisfaction here
over the severity of the act providing
for the collection of the back taxes, and
the act repeating ut is even gratifying
to many who would like to have seen
the taxes collected. They disapproved
of the measure, and one factor in the dis
satisfaction was that it is stated that
the lawyers who were appointed to col
lect the taxes would have gotten about
$4,000 for their share.

REINHARDT'S WAGES TO BE
RAISED.
(Wadesboro Messenger. J

Capt. J. @. Lashley has been receiving
$65 per month as superintendent of the
Anson State farm under Democratic
management.
The Republicans and boiling Populists
are now in the saddle and we are reliably
informed that one of their first acts was
TO raise the salary of Mr.. Reinhardt, the
new superintendent, to $100 per month.
When it is remembered that the other
perquisites of the position amount to a.
bout $500 year ($1,700 in alp the per-
fidy OF the gang that rode into power
with the cry of reform on their lips can
be appreciated by plundered people.

AN ABoMINABLE DISGRACE.
(Cone0rd Tinesl

Senator G. ID. Barringer arrived from
Raleigh Wednesday morning. He tells
us that although he came out without
a scratch, the Legislature OF 1897 was
an abominable disgrace to the Old North
State, and will go down in history to be
read with shame by coming generations.
Nevertheless, it is history, and must go
