d. 2. LANE ANSWERS THE
CHARGES OF REPRESENTA-
TIVE COOK.

To the Editor: Please allow me TO say
through your columns that the charge
made in the House of Representatives by
one G.. A. Cooke, of Warren, that / got
Mr.. n b. Broughton to bring his con-
test in the Legislature to secure the seat
held by Jim Young, because | was angry
with Young, is absolutely and unquali-
fiedly false / am not Mr.. Broughton's
guardian, that he should bring contests
at my say so. The only connection | had
with the matter was that of witness.
/ saw convicts vote for Jim Young, and
Mr.. Broughton asked me if | was willing
to say so. | told him yes, and when
was subpeonaed as witness / went on
the stand and told all knew about con-
victs voting for Young. am not
ashamed of what~I did and am willing
to do the same thing again if necessary.
This fellow Cook, who is trying evidently
to fatten on negro votes, is only resorting
to the usual demagoguery of his kind
in trying to prejudice some ignorant
negro against me, and the legislators in
particular, who he knew, could not hear
the whole truth. Sensible negroes in
North Carolina know Cook to be no
friend to the race and consider his Re
publicanism only of that species which
is known as "office deep and dollar
wide" So far as the negro is concerned
''too many Cooks viii soon kill the

FOR INDECENT INEBRIATEs.
Greensboro Record.l

Greensboro Record
"A bill has been introduced in the Sen
ate by Mr.. Hardis0n, and in the House
by Mr.. King, to allow counties to pro-
vide for the cure of INDECENT inebriates.
This is humane measure. Many States
have enacted a similar law, among them
Maryland, Indiana Illinois and Wiscon-
sin. Many worthy men who have sue
cumbed to the liquor and morphine hab-
it, who have wasted their substance and
become helplessly dependent, can thus
be saved TO their families and restored
to good citizenship.
Thousands of men and women in the
State would lead in this effort Great
numbers have petitioned the legislature
to pass a law to give this charity.
1T is not unreasonable to ask for this
relief when the fact must be admitted
that the laws authorize and license the
sale OF liquors to provide funds for edu-
cation and charity. The liquors are sold
under legal sanction which produce the
victims, that are sought to be helped
by this law. Why not help the poor who
deserve it out of the money thus col
lected"
The above is from the Raleigh
Tribune. Humanity demands that some
measure of this kind be passed. Laws
for the benefit Of INDECENT inebriates
have been adopted in Louisville, Michi-
gan, Minnesota, Illinois, Maryland and
several other States The State of North
Carolina ard the counties get pay for the
license to sell whiskey and make drunk
ards. Why not take care of them as is
done with the INDECENT insane?
The Kelley treatment has been in use
in Greensboro about six years. The
cures made have been wonderful over
1000 in this time. Men have been taken
from the almshouse where the counties
had paid for their keeping, and brought
to the institute, and to-day are restored to
their families. We recall one instance
where one man was brought from the
poor house and placed in Kelley, where
he was cured. This has been five years
ago. He has made man of himself and
is not only providing we'll for his family,
but has money in the bank. The name
of this man can be had by applying at This
office or at the institute, and he viii YER
ify it. 1t is only question Of time when
such law will be passed and the present
legislature would do well to adopt it at
once.

without the shadow of q doubt. He
is stronger in North Carolina than ever,
and 10000 voters are anxious for an
opportunity to vote for him again. The
failure Of all the good-times promises Of
the gold men to materialize makes Bryan
and free coinage stronger before the peo-
ple than they were last November.

WILL NOT GET THE PRICE.

One could hardly wish his enemy's dog
the cruel fate that is in store for Senator
Grant. Yet he deserves it all. Without
decency, and without shame he has
prostituted his high Office to do his mas
ter's bidding in bringing shame and dis
grace upon our State, and to end it all
he will miss the promised price for his
treason. The silver Republican Senators
have notified their gold bug brethren,
they win not vote to re-organize the
Senate, and thus, instead of Sergeant-at-
Arms of the United States Senate at
$1,000 per annum, he goesback to his
brick-yard, alas, alas. The pie, at least
his share of it is stale and buggy. The
lesson would not be lost on any average
man, but we fear the moral Of this sad
story will be lost upon its victim.
