After The Truth.
Morganton Farmers Friend, (Dem.'I

Morganton Farmers Friend, CDem.'l
Senator Butler in his Newton
speech is said to have asked any
person in the crowd, who having
once been Populist had since jbin-
ed either Of the two old parties to
stand up, and though the crowd was
large and miscellaneous, no one Is
reported to have stood up. We know
that this Sam Jones way of getting
information is not very satisfying to
the speaker, but there is to rs GER
tain significance in this absence OF
turncoats among the rank and file OF
the Peoples Party contingent, which
fully acccords with our personal OBJ
servation. We know no such man.
and hence look for the ususl 10000
or 40 600 Pop votes to show up in 1895
with the promp.ness snd regularity
of veterans. The Democracy from
which they came could in our judg
ment, recover them il the same
means were employed that are Ia
miliar to every man seeking to re
establish friendship with one who
had broken old ties aud become dis
tant in demeanor.
That the Populist is an enemy tt
the State will hardly go down with
any reader of the roll calls in ih'
last legis lature. They can afford t.
challenge battle with any one oI
that record.

There are none so blind who can

most deplorable condition politically.
This Is 80 well known that II is en-
tifeiy unnecessary for US to give do
tailed evidence to sustain the state
ment.
Many remedies have been sugges-
ted.
There is q faction in the Demo
cratic party email We are glad to
know who had no regrets at the de-
feat Of Bryan, and come of whom
aided In his d. fat, who say that the
only remedy is to conduct q cam
paIgn next year entirely upon State
issues and let national issues alone
a campaign based upon white su-
premacy alone. Yes, we must have
white supremacy, but when this cry is
raised for q special purpose, and one
that does not appear upon the Sc urface
when it is raised in a manner that
ffers no hope of success, We will not
be party to it. The men (or at
least part of them) who are raising
this sir gle cry and would have the
Democratic party drop its fight for
national reforms, are the ones who
last year placed the success Of the
gold standard above white suprema
cy. and aided in the election of Nc
kinley, who is filing our S ate with
negro postmasters, Zone in this coun-
ty who lives 25 or 80 miles from the
flee to which hs was appointed. J
The reason they raise this issue now
ls that the Democratic party may
discontinue its fight for other re
forms, and that they may be re-
ceived into positions of honor and
trust within its councils.

Thought His Answer Final.
This move is entirely unexpected
About week ago DIR. Anderson
Secretary of the Corporation, admit.
ted that he had received a letter from
Dr.. Andrews renewing his resigna
ton. This was believed to be an.
swer to the request Of that body made
at it's meeting September 1, request
ing Dr.. Andrews TO withdraw his res
ignation. Secretary Anderson an
nounced he would issue notice fol
u meeting for time which seemed
most convenient for the purpose o.
elecung new President or q t. m
porary one.
This was taken to mean that DR.
Andrews had finally decided to tax,
charge of another educational in stl
tuition. Not even the most hopefu
OF DE-. Andrews friends seemed t
expect that there would be any othe
result.
IL is said that Dr.. Andrews wa
closeted all this afternoon with
committee, approach to which wa
carefully guarded.
The students appointed a delega
ton to wait on the President and t
ask him to address them from tn
steps of his residence. DR.. Andrew
thanked the students for their inter
est in him, but declined to say any
thing, reserving until Chapel to mol

BERLIN, Sept. 16.-A sensation
has been caused here and elsewhere
by the statement that the Archduke
Franz Ferdinand, son Of the late
Archduke Karl Ludwig and Princess
Annunciata, daughter of the late
King Ferdinando II, of Naples, heir
presumptive to the throne Of Austria
Hungary, was married in London
last week to q middle class lady from
Kohlsch eidt, near AK Ia Chapelle.
The Kolniche Volks Zsitung says
the lady's father was formerly q
mine manager, and that one of her
brothers is a clergyman of Essen,
and that another brother is trades
man of Aix-la- Chapelle.
The Local Auzeiger adds: "She Is
former hoosekeeper of Herr Krupp,
the great iron manufacturer, OF Es'
sen, where she met the Archduke
Franz Ferdinand. The couple have
have gone to Aigiers."
A dispatch received from Vienna
tonight says that considerable irrl'

there over the report of the clandes
tine marrigae of the heir presump
tive to the throne, and that denial'
have been issued as to its accuracy.

Major Henry s. Burrage of Port

wrote to Governor Russell with the
object of recovering his long lost
sword, which was taken from him
near Petersburg by North Carolina
troops, has found the much priced
relic.
He writes the Governor under date
of September III: Yesterday l re-
ceived my long lost sword. You can
hardly imagine with what feelings
l took the sword again in my hands
after so many years. War time mem
cries crowded upon me, and upon the
scabbard were still the stains of blood
which came from wound received
at the battle of Cold Harbor.
81 wish to thank you and all the
other North Carolina friends, among
them Col. Harrell, for your kindly
assistance in my search for the sword
If had not recovered the sword
should have been we'll repaid for ms
trouble by the interesting and most
kindly letters which l received, and
especially by the evidences they fur
nish that we all now brethren, mem
bers of q common country and uni

The sword was taken from Majol
Burrage at Petersburg, Nov. l, 1861
when that officer was captured while
trying to exchange newspapers. Th'
sword was taken by Lieut.. Teagu'
of this State. 1t drifteu to Missouri
and was in use in a masonic lodge il

FIVE THIEVES LYNcHED.

Summary Act Of an Angry Farmers Mob

Versailles, IND. Sept. 16.--Lyle
Levi, William Jenkins, Henry Shu-
Ter, Bert Andrews, and Clifford Cor
don were lynched during the night
of September 15.h and found the
next morning hanging together to
the same tree near the Jail.
The victims were taken from the
Jail during the night by mob, the
j4iler delivering over the keys on de-
mand. After getting the keys the
mob entered the Jail, took the prison
ers out and proceeded to hang them
to near by elm tree.
In less than fifteen minutes after
the hanging the men dispersed to
their hcrses and vehicles, which had
been left in the bottoms outside of
town and departed for their respec-
tive homes.

ing to the Sheriff of Ripley County:
"Wire me at once the particulars

your county. l further direct that
you proceed Immediately, with all
the power you can command, to
bring to justice all parties guilty of
particip alton in the murder of the

ed. Such lawlessness is intolerable
and all the power of the State, il
necessary, will be vigorously EN-
ployed for the arrest and punish
ment of all parties implicated.
"JAMEs A. MOUNT, Governor
The hanging caused such a sensa
ton in the city that it readily spreat
throughout the country, and no oc
casion ever attracted such crowd
to the city. For years Southern In
diana has heen afflicted with lawles
gangs. The railways and express
&C mpanies broke up the depreciation
of these gangs along their lines an
latterly they have preyed upon tn
citizens. The citizens have takel
the law into their own hands in tn
locality before, but never to such a.
extent as to-day. The Reno brott
ers were lynched together at Sey
mour, Ind, twenty years ago, an
the Meyer gang, three IN number
were strung up together at Shoals
Ind, twelve years ago. There hav
been numerous lynchings of one a

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA dele.
CATION OF representative men from
the large iron section S Of she South
to day went before the nava! board,
which is considering the question of
establishing a government armor
factory under Senator Butler's
amendment to the naval bill, and
urged that the South ,if-red the
greatest advantages in cost Of iron,
labor, transportation, etc for the
location Of the proposed government
armor plate factory. The delegation
was made up of Commiss oner Of
Pensions H. Clay Evans, Of Tennes-
see, and Representatives Wheeler. of
Alabama; Livingston, of Georeia,
and Gaines, Of Tennessee. 1t was
state d at the hearing that the iron us. d
by the large private concerns now
making armor plate was brought to
a great extent from the South at the
low price of S. 40 to $50 PER ton.
1t was argued, also, that an inland
armor factory in the South would be
more secure from attack in case of
war than one near the Atlantic coast
in the North. Letters favorable to
The Southern industry we're pre- septed
from Senator Platt, of New York,
and Stewart; of Nevada, and Senator
Chandler, of New Hampshire. The
delegation filed a written statement
setting forth the many advantages of
the South in this particular.
Commodore Howell. president of
the board, called attention to the
fact that the board could not, under
the instructions of the Navy Depart
ment, 90 into the question of the To-
cality of the site. Representative
Livingston and others made the
point that such information was
what Congress desired, and that the
scope of the boards orders should be
enlarged. Accordingly the delega
ton, accompanied by Commod ore
Howell, went before Assistant Sec
retary Roosevelt.
Representative Gaines said, after
the hearing was over: "Mr. Roose.
velt gave US decided encouragement
He said to Commodore Howell that be
wished the armor board to visit the
iron producing sections of the South
he also said he would recommend to
Secretary Long that the powers Of
the board be broadened so that they
could investigate and report on site.
for a plant in addition to their pres
ent duties.
Commodore Howell suggested tina
it would be impracticable just now t.
interrupt the work of compilation il
which the board was now engaged
but said that they would undertake
trip South when the work in han,
was completed.
