A Religious Innovation.

A Bailey (Ga.) dispatch to the
Augusta Herald says: "A peculiar
religious Innovation has gained ground
in this and surrounding counties.
The believers in the faith erect affairs
them in indiscriminate M asses of men,
women and children, praying. shout
and struggle with each other in their
frenzy, frequently wounding their fell
lOw-worshippers. Mony OF them fall
into an uncC nscious condition, from
which they arise declaring themselves
in purified condition, which, they
declare, renders them superior to ST.
Paul and the equal of Christ. The
religious stimulus seems to affect the
nerves and cause quick jerking mo-
hlapeS"

TO ENCOURAGE FRAUD.

Recently a staff correspondent OF
the Atlanta Constitution visited
Raleigh and shortly thereafter
several columns OF that paper were
devoted to the political situation IN
this State, under the captions OF
"White Supremacy the Issue In
North Cardinals Campaign, "Hon-
est Government and Protection OF
the Family is the Battle Cry in the
Fierce Struggle" etc.
In connection with the article were
pictures of Hon. F. Nj. Simmons,
Democratic Chairman, who is lead
ing the fight for decent government
in North Carolina" and of Governor
Daniel L. Russell, ''the most bitterly
hated man in North Carolina, whose
impeachment is threatened by his
own party"
Referring to the present Infamous
election law, under the sub-head OF
claws to Encourage Fraud" this
correspondent says:
"There is no other state which
offers such brilliant possibilities Tor
fraudulent voting as are found In
North Carolina. In the first place,
either the registration or the election
law might just as we'll be emitted
sAn act to make fraudulent voting
easy and simple" $50
Remember that there are 40, 900
negroes of voting age in the state
and then whistle a bar from the
classic air, All Coons Look Alike to
to Me- How in the world is an cleo
ton judge or manager to tell Wheth-
er one negroe votes under half
dozen different names? With Viz
ginia on one side and South Carolina
on the other, Importation and
colonization could easily be made to
add 10000 voters In the counties
along the state lines. Colonization
is carried on extensively, l am in
formed, by such gentlemen as ex-
| Governor Jarvis, Chairman +. M
Simmons, Secretary John W. Thomp'
son, of the State Democratic Execu
tive committee; Captain Ashe, o.
this city; Hon. Theo Davidson, o
Asheville, formerly attorney general
and many other reputable gentle
| men,"
The article contained much more
along this line, but the above will
serve to show how Ubiquitous TIT
election law foisted upon the honest
voters by the tusionists appears tt
those outside the State. And yet VI
hear the Republican leaders assum
ing that their party Is the grea
champion of the purity of the ballo
box, a free count, a fair vote, which
is all rot and demagogues' appeal
to prejudice, since these very trick
sters are responsible for the mos
unjust election law that ever foun'
it's way to the statute books of an,
State.
1t behooves every voter who love
his State and who wants good gov
eminent to do all within his pOwe
to elect men to the Legislature t.
wipe out this iniquity, which is
Lstanding menace to the rights of tn
} majority and threatens continu
, ance of incompetent and corrupt ad
, ministration of our affairs.

z. f. BUTLER, of pack train No 3, writing

Twenty Stories About Mark Twain

Mark Twain is the next famous
person to be "anecdotalized" by the
Ladies' Home journal, and the
humoTist's closest friends have sent
to the magazine for it's next nu nber
some twenty odd stories about him,
none of which have ever been printed.
They are, of course, of the droll sort,
but not more funny than the 'snap-
shot" pictures of Mark which his
friends Rave also loaned the mag
azine. These, too, have never been
printed.

The work of forming the White

have been formed, for che most part
in the east. The Second and Sixth
districts have been organized. In
all the counties these organizations
are becoming very potent factor in
the campaign. Whatever differences
men may have there can be no differ

these Unions are the central points

From the Atlanta Journal
The Democrats have not been bold
In their claims for the congressional
election, which Is near at hand, but
the Indications have recently become
more hopeful for them, and there are
many shrevd observers who now be
lieve that the chances Of the two
great parties for the control OF the
next house of representatives are
about even
1t would not require such a change
to turn the house of representatives
over to the Democrats as Is generally
supposed. The Republicans have
only about fifty majority In that
body, and there are more than sixty
Republican members whose plurality
at the last election was less than
1, 900. 1t will therefore be seen that
q change of only q few thousand
votes would give the Democrats a
majority in the house.

IT is very evident that the recent
urn in the matter OF the North Caro-
lima volunteers is a political trick.
The order to muster out the Second
regiment has been contaminated
and an order issued that the First
regiment be mustered out and the
Second and the Third (negro) regi-
ment be retained. Certainly, these
orders are not based upon the fitness
of things, since the First regiment is
superior to the other two in drill and
equipment, etc., and has won a place
in the front ranks of the volunteer
army of the United States. Mani
testify. there is a purpose here to do
the First regiment a rank injustice in
order that partiality for Russells
favorites may be shown.
