RUssEL.s INAUGURAL.

"There is a retribution in history.
The restoration of the people of
North Carolina to their constitution
al rights of a free and honest ballot
and of popular government should
give courage and hope to the dis
tranchised men of non suffrage
States"
These were the opening sentences
of Governor Russell's inaugural and
these and similar expressions IN the
document manifest the vindictive
spirit and the partisan venom of the
man. If it were not so serious a
matter, it would be laughable to
hear such language fall from the lips
of one who now occupies the highest
position in the State by virtue of
Holton's enormous registration of
unqualified negro voters" Of course,
he commends very highly the election
law which made such infamy possible.
We publish elsewhere a summary
of the matters which the Governor
calls to the attention of the Legisla-
tors. To some of these we may refer
at another time. just now, we
would warmly commend his position
in reference to the State University,
a position which we believe is held by
a majority of our people of all shades
of politics and which, we believe, will
be sustained by the present session of
the LEGISLATURE.

VALUABLE ENDORSEMENT.
And One That is Highly Appreciated
by the Recipient

Among the many valuable endorse
ments published in favor of DR.. Mat
thez we know of none he has cause to
prize more highly than the following
from one too well known in this COM
munity to need any introduction at
our hands-Mr A. d. Mickle, con-
sentative gentleman, one whose word
is his bond. and what he says in his
letter to DR.. MattheZ is, and must be,
the truth, the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth, else it would not
bear the endorsement of A. ID. Mickle.
Those, who from any cause fail to
consult DR.. MattheZ will lose an OPP
portunity which they will not soon
enjoy again, after his departure from
Winston. His stay has been extended
to this late date owing to the fact
that he never keeps his office open at all
to remain here however rather than
going elsewhere. Since the holiday
season is over his business engage
ments will in very short time call
him elsewhere. Remember that a
visit to Dr.. Matthez. at the Hotel
PbRaix, will cost you nothing. An
examination OF your eyes will be made
without charge.

BREAKS AN AGREEMENT.

Observation-Disclosures Reynolds, or
"Brother Charley" as he is familiar
ly known in these parts, made a very
plausible little speech of patriotic
jingle hen he was indicted into his
Office and he was applauded for it.
Now there comes q report from
Raleigh that the Lieut.-Gov. has
broken faith with a solemn compact
entered into with the retiring Lieut.
Gov, Hon. r. A. Doughton, which,
if not mended, will throw a shadow
upon Reynolds tune of peace, paci-
fication and prosperity, which he
sang upon the threshold of his career
as the second officer In the State
government.
After referring to expressions of
surprise and condemnation concern
ing the matter, q writer for the News
and Observer gives this history,
which will explain what we have
touched upon in the above para

Assembly convened, LIT. Gov Dough
ton was talking TO 1t. Gov.-elect
Reynolds. Gov. Doughton said to
him that as he was retiring he did
not expect to make any appoint
ments except to name two bright
boys from his section as pages. Lit.
Gov. Reynolds told him to do So,
and fully agreed that it should be
done. Gov. Dough ton appointed Il
little fellow from Cald we'll, a poor
boy whose mother needed the help it
would give, and another boy from
Allegheny. Relying upon rhe assur-
ance Of his successor, Gov. Doughton
returned to his home, telling the boys
that they would be safe for the sixty
DAYS.
Friday they were both discharged.
A member OF the House went to see
Doorkeeper Halliburton who assured
him that the boys gave perfect salts
faction, and that he had nothing to
do with their dismissal. He also
went TO see 1t. Gov. Reynolds who
admitted that he and Gov. Dough-
ton had agreed upon the matter; he
said he regretted the necessity tor
acting in manner that was apDar-
emily in bad faith, but that the Sena
tors demanded the places, and he
could not hold out against them
He was then told that these boys
had not received enough pay to buy
tickets back home, after paying their
way down and their board, and
asked to permit them to serve until
they could earn enough to get back
home without being out of pocket
1t Gov Reynolds said be could not
do this because the Senators had
boys of their own appointed, and he
could not disregard their wishes
Lieut. Gov. Reynolds should have
lived up to his agreement with Mr..
Doughton, despite the demands OF
the hungry Senators, but as he did
not do so the manly thing to do now
would be to make amends as tar as
possible for this breach of faith-to
insist upon the re-appointment OF
the discharged boys, if within his
province TO do so If not, then he
should provide the boys with enough
money to t6ke them 20 their homes,
The clamor of office seekers should
| not prevail over personal and official

Trying to See the wind,

Did you ever try to see the wind ?
1t is very pretty experiment, say
Harper's Round Table, and one
easily performed. In the first place
choose windy day, then secure a
polished piece of metal. A hand saw
will be the easiest to get.D Hold the
metallic surface at right angles to
the direction of the wind. For ex-
ample, if the wind is in the north;
hold the saw east and west inclined
about forty-five degrees to the hori-
zon. Now look carefully at the
sharp edge, and you will shortly see
the wind pouring over it like water
fall Do not try the experiment on a
rainy or a murky DAY.

A signal evidence of the recent
enormous strides in the art of tele-
phonic transmission was made on
October 8. the anniversary of the
Chicago fire, which was observed in
that city by u great parade. Four
long distance transmitters were
placed behind large sound collecting
tunnels at a point in the line OF the
procession. Above was suspended
the legend, "Your cheers here will be
heard throughout the union" All of
the transmitters were connected with
long-distance wires, and a continual
strain of music from the different
bands, combined with the cheers Of
paraders and spectators. was sent
over those wires to New York, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia and many other
places. The very words of the cheers
we're distinctly audible in New York
and other Eastern cities.

the intolerance of the ne ro Republi-
can, who is the most preiIdiced, par
tisan creature on the face of the
Garth. A negro who tries to vote his
convictions in opposition to the
majority of his race is subjected to a
persecution that is unheard of
among white people.
