STAND OR FALL TOGETHER
Whitesville News.)


There are none so blind who cannot
see that North Carolina is in a most de-
plofable condition politically. This is so
well known that it is entirely unneces-
sary for us to give detailed evidence to
sustain the statement. Many remedies
have been suggested. The issue
of white supremacy has forced itself to
the front. 1t must be fought by the
Democratic party, too, for there is no
other party which manifests a disposition
to take it up. But in making this fight
let us show that we deserve supremacy
by fighting at the same time the en-
croachments that are being made upon
every hand upon our liberty and freedom
Let US fight at the same time for the SUI
premacy of the people over trusts and
corporations; for the supremacy of equi-
table taxation and tariff laws, state and
national; for the supremacy Of equitable
financial laws that will not be continu-
ally robbing our people; let us fight for
the supremacy of this commonwealth over
tyrannical federal judges who are law
unto themselves and trample the rights
guaranteed by the constitution under
their feet.

NOT FOR Mr.. COOK
U. S. ATTORNEYSHIP FOR EASTERN NORTH
CAROLINA GOES OVER.
Mr.. Aycock, Democrat, Reappointed- Boyd
Against Cook.
(Richmond Dispatch.)

Washington, ID. c., Sept 21.-(Special.)
The appointment of United States
Attorney for the Eastern District of
North Carolina goes over indefinitely.
The President to-day reappointed Mr..
AycoGk, the Democratic incumbent.
Stubborn, and apparently successful, OPP
position will be made against Mr.. Cook s
appointment, Notwithstanding Senator
Pritchard's endorsement. Assistant At
torney General Boyd, it is understood, is
opposing Mr.. Cooks appointment, and
the postponement of action and the ad
interim appointment of District Attorney
Aycock is in Difference to his wishes.
A voluminious record has been filed
against Cook, and the probabilities are
that no change will be made in the
office until long after Congress meets,
in December.
1t is acase similar to the one in the
Western District of Virginia, where
there are some five candidate for the
attorneyship, and where no selection
could be agreed upon by the State exc
cutive committee and the two Repub-
lican Congressman, which necessitated
the ad interim appointment of Hon. A
J. Montague, the incumbent, and now
the candidate for attorney general on the
Democratic State ticket.

ABOUT LEASING THE PENITEN
TIARY.
Durham Herald.)

Governor Russell, since his Inaugural
ton. has been fighting the lease of the
North Carolina railroad, but is in favor
of leasing the penitentiary to private
parties. If the State cannot conduct the
penitentiary proftably, she should let
each county care for her own convicts.
They could be worked on the public roads
and in time our public highways would
be passable. The fact that the peniten-
tiary cannot be made self-supporting is
a pretty strong argument in favor of the
whipping post.

FIRE DESTROYS A TOWN.

Savannah, Ga, Sept. 21.-A special to
the Morning News from Albany, Ga,
says: Almost the entire business portion
of the town Of Arlington was swept by
fire this morning. The fire originated a
little before daylight in restaurant and
spread rapidly, and by O'Clock only
seven stores were standing out of to-
tai of about thirty. This makes the third
time the town has burned out within ten
years. Only one individual carried insur-
ance. G. l.. Collins. who had part insur-

COOK IMPOSSIBLE.

Speaking of the final outcome of the
Cook matter, a prominent North Caro-
lima Republican official is quoted to-day
as saying that Cooks appointment, I'M
der the circumstances, is almost an inn
possibility. The Attorney General, it is
said, sustains Colonel Boyd in his oppo-
sition to Cook. Mr.. Aycock has made a
fine record as District Attorney, and the
Department of Justice is entirely salts
fed with his administration of the office.
The report is prevalent in official cir
cles that Attorney General McKenna
will soon be appointed to the Supreme
Court bench, and in this connection the
prediction is freely made that he will
be succeeded by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Boyd. The absence of Solicitor
General Richards, who succeeded Hon.
Holmes Conrad, Of Virginia, has given
Colonel Boyd an opportunity to impress
the Attorney General with his fine legal
ability, and his quickness and capacity
in the disposal of business.
In conversation On this subject a day
or two ago the Attorney General ex
pressed a most agreeable surprise, say
ing that his first assistant was the best
equipped lawyer in the Department.

A woman worn and wearied by the

secured the passage of a bill authorizing
the sale of these roads, the State to pay

William D.. Edward and other public
spirited citizens, by their Industry and
perseverance, succeeded in getting for
Jersey City $114,o0 more of the money
paid for railroad taxes. No sooner was
this assured than the Republicans began

The sLand Of the Lfving'' at the

new and extraordinary The plot Is a wonder
in its way. This mere existence of a dishonest
partner is tricked out and embeliished so as
TO introduce blood and thunder of the ghastli-

a mere matter of course. The hero or the
play, Gerald Arkwright, has a dishonest part

ance because Arkwright has married the girl
Tredgold loved. This revenge he carries out
by making the firm fail and decanping with
the only available funds. Ha, hal leaving Ark
wright to bear the burden. Arkwright in turn,
after declaring his honesty to his family, upon
his wife's advice runs away, leaving her TO
face the creditors.
Arkwrieht soon discovers a diamond mine

and robbed by Tredgold, who returns and tries
to induce Arkwrights wife, with the aid Of a
forged letter, to marry him. Tredgold, while

sion last night over proposed improve
ments in that city. The club met at

Mr.. Norman Campbell presented a pro-
test from the Committee on Public Well
fare against the granting of a subway
franchise to the New York and New Jer-
sey Telephone Company on the grounds
that It gives the company the privilege
of stringing wires overhead IN addition to
placing them under ground. The com
mittee also claims that there Is no pro-
vision in the ordinance for repaving and
they want it greatly modified before it is
passed by the Common Council. The or
dinance will come up before the Council
for third reading at the next meeting.
Mr.. Lloyd Fl. Nettleton moved that the

TAXPAYERS PROTEST..
Object to the Invasion Of Seven
teenth Street by the West
Shore Railroad.

At the meeting of the Street and Water
Board yesterday afternoon Patrick Con-
molly, Charles Hill, William Williams,
Patrick Burns and other property own
ers along the line of Seventeenth street,
entered a vigorous protest against the in
vasion of that street by the West Shore
Railroad.
Acting for the protestants, Patrick
Connolly explained that in 1882. when the
property owners, who are poor, decided
to open the street to Hoboken avenue,
create a new outlet to the Hill, and by
that outlet nhanc property valuations
in that locality, the West Shore Rail-
road blocked the movement by GER
tioraring the proceedings to the Supreme
Court. AT that time the property on
the street was owned by persons not in
terested in the advancement of the neigh
borhood. some of them being in Europe.
Recently a majority part Of the land held
by Indifferent owners was sold for taxes,
the purchasers being men who want to
improve their holdings.
"A new petition for the improvement and
extension of the street from Brunswick
street to Hoboken avenue was presented
to the Street and Water Board and fa-
vorably reported. Everything was pro-
crossing smoothly until last Saturday,
when the West Shore Railroad attempted
to erect a stumbling block in the path
of the Improvement by laying a spur
from its main stem at a grade of about
five feet above the street into an oil
concern, of which D. G. Brown is mama
ger. It appears that the city many years
ago acquired a strip of land u feet wide
which is a continuation of Seventeenth
street, to Hoboken avenue, for the pur-
pose of laying a water main. The main
exists today and it is because of hat
fact that Mayor Wanser ordered the
police to the head of the street on Satur-
l,rr ar7 r1rax-arfod tho 1nuf1n ~ the
Mr.. Connolly commended that the spun
was being laid merely to block the open
pany wishing to avoid the hiring of
iagmen for the grade crossings which
will be created
Railroads cross Seventeenth street now,
and there will be a grade If the street is
opened. The new crossing, however, by
travel necessarily impracticable. To avoid
trouble with the company, Mr.. Connolly,
on behalf Of the petitioners, declared that
there are no objections to the new cross
ing, provided it is at grade.
sWe will submit to anything so long
as we can get this street opened" said
Mr.. Connolly.
When asked if the petitioners proposed
paving the street, Mr.. Connolly, replied
in the negative, stating that the street
have to be filled In and allowed to settle
before it will be practicable to lay
heavy pavement.
