Mt. Airy township, in Surry county,
claims to be the banner township for
the local school tax. They claim that
they are entitled to the $500 reward Of
fered By Col. Carr. II that township
gets that premium, in addition to the
present school fund, and in addition
to the special tax voted and in addi-
ton to the $500 to be given by the
State, 1t will have enough money to
run first-class free school for eight or
ten months. We congratulate the
people Of that township upon their
tuck or Their upon their wisdom.

We are pleased to notice that the
coIored people 1" ali Of their church
meetings, conferences, associations,
etc, are passing resolutions condemn
ing rspe and urging their race to pre-
vent such crimes and to join in pun
ishing the bsutes. They are doing
much more to check such crimes aud
their conduct - much more common
dable than that OF those machine poll
ticiaus who are magnifying these hor-
rible crimes in the hope Of raising
race prejudice Ia the interest Of the
railroads and trusts. The railroads
can not capture the next legislature
unless they can shift the Issues. These
politicians and newspapers who are
the tools and hirelings Of the railroads
and monopolies are made happy every
time . rape occurs, for it gives them
another opportunity to make the mig.
ger" An issue. Shame on them. Sucf
politicians are almost ~ black At heart
- TIE negro rapist.
These are the same class Of politi-
clans who were willing to defeat thu
school tax and deprive the boys ant
girls OF the State ct an education, i
thereby they could gain some partisan
political advantage. The people cal
not afford to elect to any office or An.
position of trust any such unprlnciple'
and unworthy men, for they will betrs.
their constituents whenever it is
their advantage to do so, just As the
betrayed the boys and girls in thi
local school tax election matter. Agai
we say shame on such miserable gan
of monopoly agents and hirelings.

at III. expense Of the truth, he may
feel few people for while, but
sooner or later he will lose the respect
and confidence Of all good people
3, Those who were trying TO defeat
this school question for partisan pur-
poser, tried To brighten the people into
believing that they would be put in
the peDitentisry for not paying their
taxes by the lat OF September, and
told hem that il they voted this extra
tax for schools that they would in
creas. their chances Of going to the
penitentiary. This was very "un-
worthy No more men will be put in
prison this year for not paying taxes
than in years past. When the people
find how they have been fooled by these
machine politicians, they will know
how much confidence to put in what
they say IN the future
The News and Observer has two OBJ.
jects in view in all this. First to try ia
shift responsibility for the present de-
feat o! the local school tax; yes, shift
responsibility for wrong, the same old
game started by Satan in the garden
Of Eden. Second to try to pump life
into the "nigger" question as an issue
Iftbat paper continues to try to side
track the great economic issues nov
before the people to be settled by th'
next Legislature by trying to renew
the "nigger racket" it will succeed il
making some good people believe tina
it has surrendered to the Southern
Railroad. Therei is but one chance TO
Col. Andrews and his Rothchilds rail
road to capture the next Legislator
and prevent the reduction of freigh
and passenger rates, legislation o.
the lease question and other great an
important refOrms, and that lie, for tn
next campaign to be fought on tn
anigger racket" Col. Andrews wOul
give 800 600 il the News and Observe
will do this for him. 1t is the Onl
thing that will save him and his mono
poly from being brought to justice.
Col. Andrews owned the News an
Observer he would have it to WHO'D
up" tarifr and niger" as the great il
sues, and try to shift the fight from til
great economic questions which {
vitality concern the prosperity Of til
people.
The next fight will be made on thei
great economic questions. The pol
: ticians and the agents of monopoly ca
= not prevent it.

The Railroad Oonmission Orders .
Changs In the Schedule Of One Train On
The southsrp.
The Railroad Commission met
Monday morning and disposed of its
docket. Most Of tho cases were for
over charges and complaints of dis :
elimination.
The only order made of general
pubic interest was in regard to the
schedule of the train that leaves
here for Greensboro at q O'Clock
every night. Much complaint has
been made Of the failure Of the
Southern train leaving here at 2
2 O'Clock 1t night, and the Seaboard
vestibule, leaving here at ZIG, to
make connection.
The Commission makes an order
requiring the 2 o'clock on tho South
ern to wait till 2:20 SO as to make
connection with the Seaboard. The
Commission has done much to add
to the convenience Of tho public in
such small matters, but seems to be
wanting ii courage to inaugurate
great reforms which 30 vitality affecta
the public welfare. We are thankful
for small favors, but the Commission
is not doing what 1t was created te
do and what the people expect of it.

and have often seen . majority Of the
jury composed Of negroes: and since
that time negroes are always repre-
sented on the jury. In the whole
courHe Of more than . quarter Of .
century during which negroes have
served on juries il cannot Be- said
truthfuily that they have divided from
the whites on the race issue and b.
cause Of race prejudice or race favorit-
ism. On the contrary, IL IL true that
on inspection Of the criminal dockets
Of Warren county it will be found that
there have been few mist-riais, and
have never heard the charges made
that negro jurors have DISTRACTED she
due course Of the law By . refusal to
convict persons Of their own race
simply because the accused Was 3 ne
gro. / have never heard the complaint
that race prejudices or race favoritisms
in Warren county prevented jury con-
victfons.
I am quite sure that the Clerk fthe
Superior Court, Of Warren County,
who has held Office without Z break
since the var-and who 10 always elect
ed by the people-and who probably
never has missed attendance upon
single term of the court during bill
term would verify my statement"
Here is positive and undeniabie
proof that the Messengers "facts" aFs
not facts. One further observation and
we are done.
As q rule Soutberners who ownet
slaves and were accustomed to the 50
ciety of the polite and cultured have
feeling of kindness and charity for tn
negro race, and they are general!
kind and just in their treatment o
him. The editor of the Messenger
though born a gentleman, and thoug
he be scholarly in his tastes and thougl
he has had the advantages all his day
which the best social life Of the Stat
could confer, is an exception to tn
rule. He lacketh charity. II he eve
had charity the monopolies and the ma
chine politicians, in whose service b
Is, have dried it out Of his soul. Tru
it's pity, pity It's true.
p. S. Since the above was write

the Military Judge he refused to choose

Lieut.. Corria, Of the artillery, to de-

A CARD.

For some time past ! have been
forced to devote practically my whole
time to my Congressional duties, and
to the management Of the national
campaign Of the Populist Party.
Therefore, l have not been able to
give Tux CAUCASIAN the attention
tbatI desired. We are now nearing
one Of the most important campaigns
ever seen in the State. The questions
to be settled and the issues at stake
are Of the greatest importance to the
future welfare Of our people. There
fore, / shall take the time to give the
editorial columns of THE CAUCASIAN
my personal attention. l believe that
a majority Of the voters of the state,
will, when they know the facts, sus-
tain, in the next campaign, the re-
forms for which we will contend. But
it is absolutely necessary for THE
CAUCASIAN and other reform paper
to be put into the hands Of the voters
of the State to make victory certain
Therefore I wish to call upon every
subscriber Of The CAUCASIAN ant
every friend of the reforms for which
the forty Populist members of the leg
islature stood with unilinching cour
age IN the last legislature to at onc'
exert themselves to put The CAUcA
SIAN or some good Populist paper int
every household in the State il posi-
BILE. Yours for the right and in tn

MORE INJUNCTION BUSINESS.

The Federal courts have come to the
rescue Of their masters and owners
again. This time the court lends the
power Of its great respectability and
majesty to so great and powerful
monopoly as the Western Union Tele-
graph Company.
OnIply 23d the State Railroad Com
mission passed an order that "from
and after the first day of September,
1897, the Western Union Telegraph
Company shall not charge or collect
more than fifteen cents for transmit
ting any message Of ten body words
or under, exclusive of date, address
md signature, between any two points
within the limits of this State on it's
lines, nor more than one cent for each
additional word"
As has recently become the custom
and practice in such cases, this mono
poly flew to the Federal court and de-
handed an injunction restraining the
Co.nmission from carrying into effect
the above order. The application was
made to Judge Simonton who has be-
come noted as an Injunction maker and
according to his custom, be promptly
granted the injunction. A hearing in
the case is set for the next term of the
United States circuit court at Will
mington which meets September 9Th.
The Commission has designated Com
missioner s. Ohio Wilson to repre-
sent the Commission at that time.
And so the "outsiders" in the per-
sons of the Federal courts, under the
applications and orders of great cor
porations continue to try to interfere
with the affairs and economical gov.
eminent of this State. If these at
tempts are permitted to become sue
cessful, what will be the use of or the
necessity for a State Government
Why not turn everything over to thu
federal judiciary?
The one thing about this bushes:
is that these continual injunctions are
serving to open the eyes Of the goot
people of the State to great and dan
gerous evil which has been silently
and stealthily fastening its greed,
grip upon the threats of the people
and at the same time corrupting tn.
peoples courts and legislatures so tina
the serpent would not be exposed OF
checked.
The people have it in their power t.
correct this evil. Let them elect mex
year a legislature that the railroad
and other corporations do not own, ant
we pledge them that such disgracefu
scenes will not again occur in Nortl
Carolina. The legislature has tn
power to force every corporation do
ing business in the State to submit
> such matters to our State courts 70
adjudication.
The Peoples Party will fight TO
this reform till monopoly domination
is checked and crushed.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1897-08-19
1T IS A BAD RULE THAT WILL NOT
WORK BOTH WAYS,

"ONA bOIh WAYS
The Peoples Party has pushed to
the front the live Issues of transporta-
ton and monopoly reforms-the rail-
roads want to call attention from
these reforms and to try to discredit
the Peoples party, the only party that
has united and earnestly fought for
these reforms. Hence the effort of the
politicians and the newspapers who
are controlled by the railroads to try
to charge up to the Peoples party the
rapes that have occurred in the State.
Their effort is absurd and c0ntempti-
BILE. But if the Peoples party 10 re-
sponsible for the rapes that have o.
CURED in North Carolina, then the De-
mocratic party must be responsible for
the rapes that have occurred recently
in Florida, Alabama, and other south
ern States where the Democratic party
is in power-ft is q bad rule that will
not work both ways.

condemn the action of County Chair
man, j NJ. Early, in voting for q gold

When Senator Butler exposed the
hypocracy of the Charlotte Observer
in claiming that it is opposed to trusts,
while it supports the gold standard
which is the "dady" of trusts; when
he again exposed the treachery of that
paper to Bryan in the last campaign
and it's efforts now to side track Bryan
and the economic reforms demanded
by the people, that paper set up q
mighty howl. It was hit in tender
