ODOM, THE TRAITOR.
He Betrays his Party and Votes for
pritchard
(Our Home, Popul:st. J


For the first time since it's organiza-
ton the Peoples party of this district
has been betrayed by one who received
honor at it's hands. W. II. Odom, OF
Anson county, was elected State Senator,
as a Popuhst, but he has disregarded the
honor conferred on him, repudiatcd every
principle of the Peoples party aud de-
liberately bolted his party to vote for
gold bug Jeter G.. Pritchard for the Uni
ted States Senate. II would have been
bad enough for him to have voted for
Pritchard without any kind Of considera-
tion but a graver charge was brought
against him by public rumor, namely,
that he has been offered the WadesborO
postoffice to vote for Pritchard, and in
personal conversation with the writer, in
the presence of reliable witnesses, he
refused to say that he would not accept
the aforesaid postotfice, if rendered him.
Again, it seems that Mr.. Odom was try
ing to make arrangements to get some
thing out Of his vote for Senator even
before he was elected as the following
incident will show: Col. o. Ii. Dockery
states that Mr.. Odom used the following
words to him before the election:
IF you'll secure Richmond cOuntys
vote for me, / pledge you my word and
honor that / viii vote for you for United
States Senator-PROVIDED YOU
WILL MAKE ME YOUR PRIVATE
SECRETARY"
Col. DockeIy says he VIII make af-
fidavit that the above statement is cor
rect. If Mr.. Odom would have a finan-
cial cnsideration in his proposition to
vote for Col. Dockery, which he could
have done without leaving his party,
would he deliberately walk out of his
party to vote for a Republican gold bug
WITHOUT A FINANCIAL C0NSID-
ERATION? Mr.. Odom can answer this
question, if he will. If he has not been
promised the postoffice at Wadesbero,
it is his duty to correct this report which
has been published against him an the
papers for more than n week. - <r
After he had voted for Pritchard on
Tuesday the 10Th the writer saw him in
the lobby of the Park Hotel at Raleigh
surrounded with gold bug Republicans
and on being introduced to him one of
the big bosses said: II want to shake
his hand FIVE times" 1t goes without
saying that we didn't see any Populist
shaking his hand and they will not want
to shake it when he returns.
We take the responsibility to say that
every true Populist in this district who
voted for Odom will feel like kicking
themselves for doing it. They would
much rather see his Democratic opponent,
Mr.. Kiker, in his seat to-day, for they
had rather have an honest Democrat
than a pretended Popuhst who betrays
them.
Mr.. Odom stands out alone as the only
Populist member from this whole Con-
gressional district who left his party and
voted for Pritchard. Upon his shoulders
alone the terrible responsibility rests.

A GOOD BILL.

Because a young woman has to work
in store or factory, lis no reason why she
should be held up to the same rigid rules
that men have to keep. The bill passed
yesterday was a good one to require en-
ployers TO have places where young wo-
men could sit down and rest when their
services were not needed 1t there is abuse
of this privilege, it will doubtless be
small; for women are as a rule con-
scientious in their work; and the good
results may not be measured Besides
the humanity of the law, it is one that
by a process of reasoning viii eventually
rebound to the good of sons as well as
mothers. The weakest point Of
a woman is her back, and many a
life has been wrecked by an unreasonable
overtaxing which this law will at least
help to avoid.

MR.. WALTERS MAKES A CORREC
TTON.

The New York Mail and Express OF
Jauary 18th said:
Referring to an item which recently
appeared in these columns concerning
the advance of salaries of the officials
of the Atlantic Coast Line, President
Walters writes:
II have seen in your paper a refer
ence to increases of salaries on the At
Iantic Coast Line. Your information
was correct but not complete, and take
the liberty of drawing your attention to
the facts.
THE salary of one officer, who was
promoted to a position ON probation at
lower salary than his predecessor re-
ceived, was advanced to the original fig
ure as promised.
I'VE were to go through the past three
years Of depression without reductions
in salaries of officers and employees, but
regret to say that we are not in a posi-
ton to make advances.
"Our board OF directors considered prop
erly that changes inaugurated in the
methods Of administration called for a
redistribution of the amount of money
paid out in salaries Of administration, and
hence followed increases and reductions
which offset each other, leaving the total
amount paid practically the same"

Arthur T. Abernethy has been bound
over to court for threatening the life of
Rev. ID. p. Goode. His lawyer, Mr.. s. j.
Erwin, contended that he was crazy, and
ought to be sent 10 the State Hospital.
He has ben trying to commit suicide, says
a special to the Charlotte Observer.
The January term OF the Superior
court of Mecklenburg county was ad-
journed Saturday. The hung jury in the
case of Mrs. Elizabeth Newell, who
brought suit against the Southern for
$4,000, came into court and announced
that they had agreed upon a verdict,
awarding Mrs. Newell $1,725 damages.
Judge Norwood set aside this verdict as
excessive. At the previous trial, the
jury awarded Mrs. Newell $1,000 and
Judge Brown set this aside.

LOBBYISTS CAN STILL SQUAT

The vote yesterday to table the resolu-
ton of Col. Lusk to keep from the body
of the house loafers, lobbyists and other
nuisances cannot fairly be said to repre-
sent the sentiment of the members.
Else Col. Lusk would not have been able
to get his resolution up by unanimous
consent. His resolution with the shorter
amendment of Hancock covered the
ground fully, namely, that there should
be gate at the end of the aisles and
that no one should be admitted in the
space set apart for members except MEM
bers OF the General Assembly, employees
and newspaper men. But Mr.. Cathey
had long and tedious resolution which
he proposed as a substitute or amend
ment 1t was well intended by him, but
so involved and impractical that it let
the bars down just at the proper moment
for Aliens tabling motion. And so the
men who have no business in the House
viii doubtless continue TO pry and squat
about to the outrage of the dignity Of
the Legislature.

INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT
ALDERMAN.

The Inauguration of DR.. Edwin Ander-
son Alderman as president of the Univer-
sity of North Carolina to-day will be a
notable event in the history of the Com
monwealth. ~
A distinguished company will witness
the induction into the high Office, among
them the presidents of the great colleges
of the empire States of the West and East
and other eminent educators; the Chief
Magistrate, members of the judiciary of
the State, and almost all the representa-
tves of the General Assembly, both
branches having adjourned to do honor
to the occasion; and friends and alumni
of the, institution in every section OF the
StateA -
The University has been fortunate in
that it has had few presidents. Most
of them have served long terms, reach
ing ripe old age in its service. 1t is
not too much to say that DIR. Alderman
is worthy successor of the great men
who have preceded him. In equipment
he is the equal of any of them, and when
the years have ripened his scholarship
he will rank with the greatest of them.
President Alderman enters upon his
duties most auspiciously. The compli-
ment paid him by the members of the
General Assembly of adjourning both
branches and attending the Inauguration
in body is unprecedented.

MR.. M'KINLEY's GOLD CABINET.

We are now told that Lyman Gage is
to be Secretary of the Treasury.
Mr.. Gage is a Chicago banker who
was a Democrat until the Democratic
convention nominated Bryan and declared
for free silver He is successful busi-
ness man, a strong believer in the single
gold standard, and for that reason voted
for Mckinley. He is therefore Repub-
hcan of the Sherman school and would
feel at home in McKinley's cabinet
In the face OF the fact that Mr.. Nc
Kinley is organizing his cabinet on the
single gold standard line, those so-called
advocates of silver who voted for Pritch-
ard will have a hard time making the
people believe that they were not betray-
ing the cause OF silver when Mr.. Pritch-
ards candidate organizes his cabinet on
the gold standard line.
The silver man who voted for MeKin-
ley or Pritchard was traitor to the
cause

BANKS AS A HELP TO BUSINESS

Every community should have bank
Of deposit or discount.
If every person who saves or earns
money keeps it hid away at home, 1t
and ceases to perform it's function as Il
circulating medium. A circulating me
dunn promotes trade, employs labor and
blesses the community. But if the peo-
pie of community concentrate all their
surplus in a bank managed by board of
directors known to be men of integrity
and good business qualifications, the
funds can be loaned with discretion, in
the vicinity, to those who will use them
in the employment of labor and thus
every one will be benefited. A bank inn
proves the business of a community by
causing men to be prompt and punctuai
in the performance of their business OBJ
legations. 1t supplies the need of cur
rency, to d large extent, by the use of
checks, which are more convenient and
safer, and it enables a community to
foster industry by a safe and reasonable
use of credit, without which no commu-
nifty can prosper.
There is no reason why farmers should
not avail themselves of this great adj
vantage, by establishing in every county
bank, as a central means of keeping
tEer money employed When one has
money, no matter how little, which he
does not require, let him deposit it. At
the very same time that some good neigh
bor may wish to borrow for a short time,
and in the course of events the depositor
may wish to borrow what some other
man has deposited, and so a few hundred
dollars going around and around perform
important functions.
There should be no prejudice against
exist and are managed on liberal princi-
pies, lands are more valuable. Without
their aid the crops could not be moved.
When judiciously managed, they help ev-
erybody. If every neighborh0od comes
down to cash and barter, and fails to use
and enjoy its credit, more actual money
is required-all traffic is contracted and
estricted-distFust and suspicion are en-
gendered This is contraction of the cur
rency in it's worst form. Expansion and
free circulation would result from con-
centration Of money in bank deposits
If every town in North Carolina had
bank of deposit and discount freely used
by the people, the money in the State
would do three times the business it
now does. Let more thought be given to
circulating the money we now have.
For four years no legislation increasing
the currency can be expected. Let what
we have come out from it's hiding PLACES
Civilized people must trust each other.
Failures do not cost near so
much as narrow, contracted mis-
erly hoardings of stagnant mon
ey. The richest nations who enjoy
all that science and the arts, commerce,
manufactures and all the mighty ageu-
cies of civilization bestow, use and em-
ploy credit through the agencies Of banks.

THE DURHAM MEETING.

The meeting at Durham was a digniied
noble protest against our jury methods
which enable defendant always to pack
the jury, and make conviction, in a
murder case, fhowever bad) impossible.
If the lawyers in the Legislature We're
all as broad minded as some of them and
would permit the reform of our jury
methods the State could have a chance
to obtain fair trials and the cause and
motive for lynching would disappear. But
as long as the prisoner is allowed %
peremptory challenges without the ex-
cuse for it which formerly existed) it
will continue TO be the case that the pris-
ming for some one man on the panel who
will hold out for acquittal. The lawyers
in our Legislatures who hold out for a
continuance of that evil are the real au-
thors of lynch law. They continue in
force the evil that drives men to COM
NIT lynching. Attorney General Os-
borne's report and Davidson's and Geo.
Fowle and others have recommended Civ
ing the State and the defendant each six
challenges and this reform would go
very far towards aboliahing lynching by
making it possible for the State to secure
a fair jury in murder cases. 1t is i'm
possible for the State to get a fair trial
in any capital case, as the law now stands.
