The morning after the election tins
paper announced that all the Democratic
nominees in Wake county had been de-
feated. except MFR. N. b. Broughton'
nominee for the House, who had oe-
feated Jim Young. The official returns,
as given out by the Clerk Of the Court
showed that Jim Young had majority
Of eighteen, but this announcement we
declared was not correct, as a recount
of the ballots would show.
As n result of the recount, wfTch was
resisted by the Republicans, the CleFA
refusing to make it until ordered to DO SO
Inv Justice Clark, Jim Young rs declared
elected by two majority, but q proper
count Of the votes in the boxes clearly
shows that Mr.. Broughton was elected.
At Holly Springs there was one Brougn-
ton sticker; at Wakefield, three; in the
Third ward, one; and at Marks Creek a
ballot on which the name Of Jim Young
was erased, and this written:
IN. b. brot-"
The name was not finished because
there was not room on the ballot-thus
making six votes to which Mr.. Brough-
ton is legally and eQuitably entitled to
have counted for him. Clerk Young re-
fused to permit them to be so counted,
though nobody doubts that they were cast
for Mr.. Broughton and against Jim
Young. The official returns gave these
votes to Mr.. Broughton, showing that the
poll-holders of all three parties agreed
that they had been cast for him. In addl-
ton to these six votes, Mr.. Broughton is
entitled to have the two thrown out at
Swift Creek and two thrown out at Apex
because the ballot contained the names
of magistrates of other townships. To
gether these give Mr.. Broughton ten ad-
ditonal votes, and elect him by safe
majority. No account is taken in the
above of the illegal votes cast for Young.
There is indisputable evidence that TWEEN
ty-nine ex-conYicts were permitted to
vote, and that they voted for Jim Young.
We have been interested in getting
these facts and laying them before our
readers for two reasons:
/. Because we want TO see the stigma
removed from Wake county that its peo-
pie elected the negro Jim Young over so
upright and philosophical citizen as
Needham B. BroughtOn.
2. Because Wake needs in the Legisla-
ture a man of Mr.. Broughton's ability,
patriotism and knowledge Of the needs
of the people. He is a fit representative
Of the aspirations and principles Of the
people Of Wake county, and is worthy Of
any honor in the gift Of the people. In
view of the facts presented, we shall
expect to see the House of Representa-
tives without a weeks delay give Mr..
Broughton the seat to which he was
elected, and to which he is legally and
equitably entitled.

MIR. FLEMING ON PRIrCHARD.

To the Editor: 1t seems that the Re
publicans of North Carolina are hard to
satisfy. They have the Governor-elect.
They have the Supreme court. They
have three Congressman; unaided they
would have none Of these except one
Congressman. And now the Populists
Of North Carolina are asked to turn the
Unlted States Senate over to the Repub-
lican party, and give up the balance OF
power themselves, and for what? What
principle Of the Populist party viii it adj
vance for the Populists of North Carolina
to turn the United States Senate over to
the Republicans? Will the followers Of
the lamented Polk do so? Can they do
so and be true to themselves? There are
too many good and true men who are
interested in the welfare OF our South
land and our common country in the
populist party for them to DO so, they
know their interest, they know their
countqy's needs and they will never elect
Mr.. prtchard to the Senate.

0,o44 from all the other States and Terri
tories, and their number from each State
varied from 400 from Mississippi to 1
each from Wyoming, Idaho and Wash
ingtOn. There were none from Arizona
and Alaska.
OF the 1,614,245 native-born persons
in the State 1851, 100 were white. and
$50, 525 were cOlored. Of the whites 81.
S91 were born in other States. and of
the c0lored 1905. The whites came
principally from our neighboring States.
From Virginia, 10,645, from South Caro-
lima 90S7, from Tennessee 1923 and
from Georgia 2,S45. New York gave us
1,069 and the balance came from all over
the Union, except Arizona and Alaska
or the 1905 colored persons who were
born in other States $685. came from
South Carolina, 6,033 from Virginia, / -
358 from places not specified, and the
other 1,7S9 from the other States. There
were , from icy Maine, 1 from lovely
California and | from the Wilds of Mon
tana.
While other States furnished us with
52,776 persons, we gave them 293, 404 Of
our own people in return. or those we
furnished other States 177,004 were
white and 116. 400 were colored. We gave
Tennessee 25,019; Texas 1926; Georgia
1888; Virginia 15,057; Arkansas 1900;
Missouri, 1851; Indiana 1853; South
Carolina 10,SG9; Kentucky 6,006, and
Kansas 5,065. The others were scattered
in every State and Territory of the
Union. The smallest number of white
North CarOlinians in any State is 90 in
Vermont.
The negroes who left us went principal
ly 20 the pine forests and cotton fields
of the Southern States. Our largest con
tribUtion was to Mississippi, which State
got 1855. Georgia got 1890; Virginia

" IiibtSt WE'RE NCtulttEtU throughout Gle
Union. The smallest number was in
snowy North Dakota, where there were
4, and there were ) each in South Da-
kota and Vermont
1t will be observed from these figures
that for every 100 persons we get from
other States we give J63 Of our people in
return. If we make the computation for
each race separately we find 100 white
accessions from other States cost us sos
of our own people, and that for 100 ne
groes we give in return $50.
The facts above furnish food for deep
reflection. The assertion often heard that
North Carolina is good State to get
away from" is partially confirmed by
these figures. At some other time | hope
to draw some conclusions from these
figures, and to offer some suggestions as
to the best means Of stopping this sort Of
ruinOus trading.

SWAPPING THAT HURTS.

In an article in to-day's paper, Mr.. I. NJ.
Robertson shows that for every 100 per-
sons North Carolina gets from other
States, we give 563 of our own people
in return. 1t is this sort of swapping
that prevents the greater progress and
prosperity of the State. We cannot keep
it up, and the man who can discover how
to change the figures, and give us 563
people for every 100 who emigrates will
will be our greatest statesman.

American Products in England.

United States Consul Lathrop, at

partment, gives some information con-
corning United States products In
England. He says the United States,
Canada and Denmark supply Eng
land with bacon. The United States
enjoys more than half the trade, send
ing, in 1896, 2,75l,518 hundred
weights of 112 pounds. During the
first six months of 1897 there was a
large increase in the shipments from
this country, amounting to 1880, 1872
hundred weights. The report notes
that there is scarcity of pigs in Eng
land and in Denmark, and says the
United States and Canada are expect
ed to keep up the increased ship
ments.
Leather is product which has
made an appreciable advance in Eng
land. The colored feathers Of Chi

A few weeks ago there was launched
from the yards OF the Columbian Iron
Works, of Baltimore, the Argonaut,
queer looking submarine craft, which
goes on wheels like wagon.
This vessel, which is the invention
of Baltimoreau, Simon Lake; is, as
far as intentions and appearance are
concerned, unique: It i. intended for
commercial work, including the ex-
ploration of the bottom of riversy
lakes, bays aud even seas, for treasure
seeking and other purposes OF kin
dred character.
The vessel presents curious ap-
pearance. The cigar-sEaped hull has
two big iron wheels attached to linear
the bow. These wheels are about as
large as an ordinary cartwheel, and
are of solid metal. The edges OF the
wheels are corrugated and cogged like
those of cogwheel. A smaller wheel
of similar character is attached to
the boat at the stern. The wheels are
intended to enable the vessel to run
along over the bottoms of rivers and
other bodies of water, the propeller OF
the vessel supplying the necessary mo-
tive power. The boat will be so ar
ranged that the divers can come in and
60 out of the vessel while she is on
the bottoms of rivers.
The Argonaut, says the New York
Journal, is thirty-six feet long and
nine feet in diameter, built of steel and
strongly ribbed, to resist the water
pressure. She is propelled along the
bottom by an electric motor taking
current from a powerful storage bat
terry.
A strong electric searchlight is 10.

up pathway in front of the craft as
she moves along the bed of the ocean;
