A JEWELRY THIEF CAUGHT.
Gus Lee Steals 800 Worth of Jewclll
From Judge BOykin.

Mchlnley's wave of prosperity struck
the Mayors court on yesterday morning.
Though business wasn't booming, il was
decidedly on the up-lOok. -Four cases
all of them colored peOple-claimed the
Mayors attention.
GuS Lee was sent to Jail for larceny
,ruS IS a young black negro, and has been
III the employ Of Judge BOykin for some
Tune. While working for the Judge. Gus
mas made the most Of his opportunities by
steallhg JeWery to the value of 800
inns included IL lady's gold watch and Il
CHAIN. Though these cost $50. they were
even more valued for their associations
IMAM Tor their real worth. Rings, meer-
SchaUm pipes. gold collar and cuff buttons,
ana all Kinds of trinketS were taken
Most of them were sold, but the watch
which was stolen Sunday, was found
on the boy yesterday when he was ar
rested. After being taken to the guard
house he confessed everything and told
where the stolen articles had been sold
and they were recovered by the police.
Gus will be tried and convicted at this

Another offender of the some kind was

belonged was firing bricks at Broady's
head He will pay for them by improv-

WANTED-AN HONEST SECRET
BALLOT.

In this weeks Progressive Farmer,
Mr.. Geo. e. Boggs, of Haywood county,
a Populist who opposed fusion, addresses
an open letter to Senator Butler pointing
out that the fruits of fusion have been
what he prophesied in 1894 He closes
with a statement and a question that
show he understands the true inward
ness of the election law fusion gave US,
which with slight changes, is still saddled
on the people:
IN our first State Convention in 1892,
we demanded secret ballot law, which
was, it seems to me, the most just and
wise solution of the perplexing prob
lem. Fusion as was TO be anticipated
threw this demand to the winds. In
stead we have a law that shows plainly
the work of shrewd Republican poll
ticians. 1t certainly allows every IA
cility for colonizing and handling the
negro voter, and he is admirably suited
for such manipulation. As a result of
all this we have the Republican party
virtually in power in our State by
means of the negro vote which has be-
come the ba lance OF the power. do
you still favor this election law, or shall
we go back to the first principles and
contend for a secret ballot which would
remedy some Of the worst evils of the
present law"
No we'll informed man doubts that
it was the facility for colonizing and
handling the negro voter" who is lad
mirably suited for such manipulation"
that secured the election of Russell and
Reynolds. With an honest secret ballot,
Watson and Mason would have been
elected. The Republican party, crying out
for "fair elections" has foisted itself into
power by the corrupt use of an election
law framed for colonizing illegal negro
voters.
A decent honest, secret ballot law is
needed in the State 1t will be supported
in 1898 by all who wish to rid the State
of negro domination.

YOUR PALATE is YOUR STO-
MACH'S CONSCIENCE.
Your Stomach Knows What is Good
For You.

Thin people are thin because the food
they eat is not absorbed. Reasons, either
wrong food, or right food undigested.
Fat oils and grease will not make any
one fat. This is because they are indiges-
tible. Thin people find it hard to digest
their food. Fatty foods make it still
harder.
Have you ever noticed that almost with
out exception, thin, pale. dySpeptic amaze
mic people have an aversion to fat? This
is of itself proof enough that such foods
are bad for them.
Let your appetite tell YOU what to
eat. Nature makes very few mistakes,
and we should listen to what she says.
Thin people may become fatter, and
dyspeptics more comfortable by taking
the Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t agrees
with the weakest stomach. 1t helps the
weak stomach digest other food. 1t is
fattening and incorporating in itself, for
it contains artifcially digested food.
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
made a great many interesting discover
les within the past hundred years, but
none more important than this ingenious
cure for all diseases which are traceable
to faulty digestion. A single ten cent
bottle will tell whether it is adapted to
your case, and can be had through any
druggist.

| Mansfield, commanding the Second

Mansfield, commanding the Second
Corps.
Another incident dramatically told, is
that in the middle of the afternoon,
Stonewall Jackson, who commanded the
left wing, in spite of the disparity Of
numbers (Which was greater than he sup
posed, thought of getting into the enc
my's rear, the same movement he after
wards consummated 80 successfully at
Charlottesville. He was passing along
his lines, talking with the regimental
commanders and happened to be at the
right of the 35th North Carolina regiment
when there was Il cessation of the inces-
SAINT cannOnading due to the Federal ar
tille-ists giving their guns chance to
cool. General Jackson awaited himself
of The opportunity to send man up the
tollest tree to look over into the Federal
lines beyond the East Woods. He was
member of the Both regiment, by name
W. II. Hood, of Cumberland or Duplin
county. On arriving at the top, stone
many are there "Hoo-hOo-peeo'
said Hood whole oceans of
them. General" Count their flags"
sternly said the General, who wanted
something more definite. When Hood
had counted up to forty, the General
simply said, That is enough. come
down" The contemplated attack was
then and there abandoned.
Judge Clark, in writing up the battle,
has bad the advantage of recently visit
ing the ground and retracing his steps
as he was sent by Governor Carr in June,
1894. as chairman of delegation of
North Carolina soldiers to act with the
United States Commissioners of the bat
tlefield in fixing the location of the stone
monuments being put up by the govern
ment to perpetuate the record of the
positions held by the various troops.
The Confederate loss in the battle was
over one-third, being $4,000, and that of
the Federals 10000, greater absolute
loss, though relatively smaller percent
age, as their numbers on the field were
greatly superior.

BLIND ASYLUM DIRECTORS.

The New Dormitory.
The directors for the Institution of the
Blind met last night to take some fur
ther steps in regard to the new dormitory
that it is proposed to erect and for which
the Legislature made Il special apprOpria.
ton.
In view of the fact, however. that
the State Treasurer has signified his in
tentlon not to pay any extra appropria-
tons, on account of the depleted condition
of the Treasury, until all the regular ap-
preparations are paid, the board decided
to do nothing further until something
more definite could be heard from the
Treasurer.
The proposed building will cost SD,
600. The architects design for it has
been accepted, and it was the intention
of the board to advertise for bids at once
and complete the building during the
vacation. A bankrupt treasury now bids
fair to defeat the whole arrangement.
1t is to be hoped that some plan can
be devised by which this much needed
work can be accomplished.
Superintendent Ray leaves this morn
ing. for a tour of the New England and
Northern States and Canada to inspect
institutions similar to the one of which
he has charge.

THE KIND OF PUBLIC OFFICERS
WE ARE GETTING.

If the Indianapolis Sentinel, the lead
ing Republican paper in Indiana, is to
be believed, the new national Republican
administration is putting in office no bet
ter men than we see getting jobs in the
penitentiary and the State Library in
North Carolina. 1t became apparent,
when Russell A. Alger was appointed
Secretary of War, that the men who had
would get the big places. 1t was ex-
pected, however, that they would be
named for positions they were fitted to
fill. The Indianapolis Sentinel writing
Of recent appointment, indicates that
no fitness except a desire for the office
is required. 1t says:
''The nomination of Mr.. Gowdy as
Consul General at Paris is announc-
ed, but it will not strike those who
know him, or know anything of the
status Of the position, as at all cred
liable to the administration of Mr..
Mckinley. The requirements of that
position are exacting. Mr.. Gowdy
can neither read nor write the Ian
guage Of the country to which he is
assigned.
"He has no commercial experience
or knowledge Of official or semi-offi-
cial duties of the office, and is totally
unfit for the place. He probably de-
serves recognition for the vast lot of
scavenger work he did.
His methods may not have been
cast upon a very high plane. How
ever, they seem to have met the
measure of the man he sought to please,
but he might have had his pay, if
the government must be the paymas-
ter, in some place where his deficien-
cies would be less conspicuous"

CAPITAL CASES FOR TRIAL.
John Groves Trial Set for Trial Wednes-
day of This Week.

There are three capital cases to be
tried at this term of court: John Groves
(white). for killing Robera Wall tool
ored). at Forestville January 80, 1897
Robert Garner (white), for killing Rom
illus Neal (colOred), near Neuse, May 20
1895; Tom Burch for burglary in Raj
eigh, February -. Augustus Pounds,
who accidentally killed young Allen
Marshburn, near Shotwell, in January,
will be tried AT this term for pointing his
gun at the deceased.
Groves trial is set for Wednesday.
Garner will probably be tried Thursday,
and Burch Friday or Saturday. The
latter case can be very quickly disposed
of, as Burch confesses breaking into
Turner's store for the purpose of get
ting money.
