WHAT REPUBLICAN RULE
MEANS.

The only magistrate in the town Oh
I4aurinburg, a prosperous business place
of 1900 inhabitants, is negro. a
Populist was chosen by the last Legisla-
ture. He qualified, but resigned and
moved out of the State. The Republi-
can clerk of the court Of Richmond
county has persistently refused to ap-
point a successor, though appealed to by
many to do so. His only reason given is
that it is not expedient. The nearest
white Justice Of the peace in the town
shin resides FIVE miles from Isaurinburg'
In the adjoining township, Laurel Hill,
there is one negro magistrate In office,
three negro magistrates-electf and also
a negro constable.
Is it in any wonder, IN viesV of such
officials. that negro in that town, porter
in the hotel, was waylaid and shot while
froine home with his wife from church on
New Years night? There was no suspi-
cion that he had done anything wrong
unless having voted the Democratic ticket
and. possibly, having given evidence IN

CASH IT.
washington Messenger.)


Mr. r. j. Reynolds, a wealthy to-
bacco manufacturer of Winston, has
presented his check for $1O0 to Bro.
Josephus Daniels, editor of the News
and Observer, in appreciation of the
fight he has made against the leasing of
the North Carolina Railroad for 80 years
to the Southern to assist him in paying
his travelling expenses over the Southern
Railroad as the road had cancelled his
annual pass. Bro. Daniels gracefully ac-
knowledges the gift and says, Mr.. Rey-
nolds must not think him less grateful
if he cannot see the way clear toward
cashing the check, yet he will do better,
he will frame it to the end he may ever
keep an mind to him the words Of great
est price, "a good name is rather to chos-
en- than great riches" We do not agree
with Bro. Daniels, his conclusion no
doubt sounds poetical, but he is burying
n good thing in a napkin which the Good
Book forbids, and it will be a constant
temptation for all time to come. just
think of a North Carolina editor with a
one hundred dollar check in his grasp
with not a red in his wallet, pledged new
er to cash that check and keep Ut as a
