pay the samoa salary of $500 per
year and commissions that amount to
about the same, making the pay OF
each Office SALARY and commissions
about $1,000 per year. The present in
cumbents are James II. Clark, Regis

their terms expire February "a. 1898.
The only avowed candidate for either
of these offices is c. S. Russell, of this
place. who will ask to be appointed
Receiver, but several others are spoken
of. The Post Office contest bids fair
TO be an interesting one. Although
the office is only fourth class, there are
four avowed candidates for the place,
viz: j. N. Bishop, w. B. Newman,
Thos. Beard and Howard Lindsay.
The Office pays about $500 per year.
A. P. Vance is the present incumbent.
Rev. H. I. Morton, pastor of the Bap-
fist Church at this place. will ask to
be appointed Minister to Brazil"
The heavy rains of Saturday and
Sunday resulted in some destructive
washouts on the railroad between
Piedmont and Poplar Bluff, along
Black river In consequence the
trains could not get through Sunday
night and through trains made their
way between Bismarck and Poplar
Bluff by using the Cat" and Belmont
roads. Tuesday, however, the Cat"
road gave way at point few miles
east of Poplar Bluff and that route had
to be abandoned. By Wednesday
night repairs on the main line were
sufficient tor the trains to pass aud
that evening about nine o'clock the
first through train since Sunday morn
ing passed over the road. Monday
Tuesday and Wednesday we had but
one mail day, a sort of accommoda-
ton train leaving Bismarck about one
o'clock in the afternoon, going to
Piedmont and returning in the even
ing. No definite Information is OBJ
tainable as to where the most disas-
trous washouts occurred, but it is
thought they were in the neighbor-
hood of Leeper, and at different points
between there and Keener. As the
breaks in the main line are all repair
ed now, though, there will hardly be
any more delays in the trains.

therby costing the State far more than
the amount necessary for the establish
ment and maintenance of the reform
school, which institution will result in
inestimable good TO the State and to hui
manity.
Writing of the attitude OF the Demo
Gratis on the Senatorial contest, the Fay
etteyile Observer says:
Conscious of the rectitude Of their mo
tive as well as of the good politics" of
their course, the Democrats of the legis-
lature can afford to dismiss, without
sense of injury, the sneers OF those So
called Democrats who have from the first
desired Mr. Pritchard's election" To
the same effect write all the other editors
who believe in the party's principles.
Mr.. Rudolph Duffy, Democratic MEM
ber of the House from Onslow, made a
vigorous speech yesterday exposing the
determination Of the Republicans to post
pone and postpone The contested election
case from Wake until near the end Of
the session, so that Jim Young, the Re
publican leader of the House, could re-
tain the seat to which he was not legally
elected The committee knows full well
that if ever that case comesto q hearing
nobody can vote to keep Young in his
seat with even a semblance of fairness
Therefore the delay in the hope that
something can be Matched up to confuse
Mr.. Broughtons impregnable case, or,
failing in that, Jim Young's valuable ser
vices can be had during most of the ses-
sion. Mr.. Duffy was too wise to be
fooled by the Republican promise of talk
ing speedy action, and hence compelled
the Republicans to show their hand.
We have heard much of fair cleo
tions." If Jim Young is permitted to
keep Mr.. Broughton's seat many days
longer, this talk of fairness viii be shown
to have been sounding brass"
Monday morning at 10 o'clock the Judi
ciary committee will give n hearing to

and to those who oppose the reduction Of
the fees of other county officers. 1t will
be good time to watch those who "hoi-
lered" loudest in the campaign for re-
trenchment suddenly forget the fee-pay
ers in their interest for the fee-makers

from members on both sides of the
House.
The general law now provides that M
one shall interrupt a public meeting.
The object of this bill seems to be to
place a political meeting upon the same
footing as religious worship, and to re-
quire every man to hold his breath, and
not to speak or open his mouth for fear of
being fined $50 and put in jail for thirty
days.
1t is intended to prevent any citizen
from questioning a public official as to
his record, and to allow speaker to
give vent to his passions and prejudices
and abuse whensoyer he will, without
having his record assailed or questioned.
1t is intended as a gag-law, to abridge
the freedom of speech, so far as the citi-
zens of a community are concerned.
and to permit any man to harangue and
to mislead the people as may suit his
own inclinations.
Under the provisions any person can
bring complaint claiming that certain
persons were guilty of wilfully disturb
ing public meeting, and have men ar
raigned and tried, and cause them to lose
time from their business and be subject
ed to all sorts of annoyances, as well as
cost
AS was stated 1t is seldom the case
that a speaker, who appears before the
people to discuss fairly the issues, is ever
intprrunted. In most every instance the

The Womans Christian Union, always

To the General Assembly of North Caro-

We, the local Womans Christian Tenn

living in the Capital of the State, near
which are situated the State penitentiary,

these institutions frequently, see the ur-
gent need of separating the criminals of
minor years from the criminals Of mature
years and hardened in crime
The fearful reality of the consequences
of this indiscriminate Imprisonment is
forcibly impressed upon us in our weekly
visists to the Jail. There the young pris-
oners land he, frequently, under fifteen
years of age), is daily taking lessons in
theft and crime, and when liberated, goes
forth with ideas of wrong-doing much in
advance of those he had before his i'm
prisonment. He has received partial
education in evil which years will never
eradicate, and may, perhaps, bring him
10 the gallows.

Resolved, That a copy of the address
| be sent to the county and township
| chairmen Of the Peoples party through
out the State for their approval"
| An interesting contest occurred yester-
| day in the House on the bill TO reduce
| salaries of clerks and officers of the
House from five to four dollars per diem.
"A few days after the opening of the
legislature a resolution was unanimously
adopted instructing and pledglng the body
to the reduction of salaries. The resolu-
tion was offered by the Republican and
Populist combine, and supported by un-
ion without q dissenting voice. This res
olution was in harmony with the wall
that went up from the Republicans In
the last campaign for economy to lessen
the peoples taxes. The bill above re-
ferred to was the first to test their sim
cerity in this matter and not to any body's
surprise when the bill came to test
vote the Republicans stood against 1t and
offered adj sorts of moasly amendments
TO kill it. 1T is but just to say num-
ber of Populists voted for the bill and
that it was killed by Republican opposi-
tion The position was taken by the
Democrats that no Republicans or Popu-
lists could honorably vote against the
bin without overriding the pledge made
their constituents in the adoption of
resolution in the opening of the session
for the reduction of salaries to O par
| with farm products. The contest was
lively and ably handled by the Demo
Gratis, but the Republican patriots who a
few days before pledged reform voted
the bill out of existence.
Dockery offered AN amendment to the
bill that it should take effect when the
members of the House should pay 10
the States Treasury one fourth of their
per diem and argued that members should
take the reduction from Their salaries and
not from the clerks The position was
taken by the Democrats that this amend
ment was not offered in good faith, but
only for the purpose Of defeating the
measure, which proved to true on the
final vote.
Mr.. HARNESS. of Iredell, led the fight
for the reduction on the part of the
Democrats, making vigorous and ring
ing speech that exposed the Republican
pretense of economy. For the Popu-
LISTS, Mr. Schulken led the fight for re
| duction in a strong and effective speech.
| But it was no go. There is no notion Of
! redeeming pledges on the part of the Re
plblicans
