KELLEY INSTITUTE.
Greensboro TelegramD

Seven years ago the Kelley Institute
was established in this city. Since that
time more than $500 men and women
have been treated for rum and morphine
habits. The management IS to be con-
graduated on this record. Up to the
first day Of October exactly the same
number of patients had chen treated as
were treated during the whole OF last
year.
To-day scores and hundreds of bright,
happy and prosperous North Carollnlans
bless the day the Institute opened ltS
doors and offered to them freedom from
the CALLING chains of the demon rum
Many Il man comes here with bleared
eyes, blOated form, reeking with deli
rum and wretched beyond description
and goes away with reason enthrOned
again, with JOY and hope in their hearts
at being freed from the damned and
damning monster and thanking God for
the scientific researches of DR.. Kelley.
Let us give you one case Of the Won
dcrful transformation wrought by 1t
course at Kelley Six weeks ago Il
man was brought here from Rockingham
county. He was so far gone that he had
to be hauled on bed made in a wagon.
His case was most wretched and seemed
almost hopeless. Yesterday his wife came
over to the city to accompany him nome,
and the change was so great thar she
did not know him. Transformed from
weak, hopeless and Respondent inebrlate
to strong, active, cheerful and happy
man. Who can estimate the JOY of that
wifes heart? Col. Osborne says that in
all his experience this is the most wonder
ful case he has seen.
Too much cannot be said IN praise
of the great work that is being done
by Kelley. If it could be said that every
man of them eventually goes back to his
wretched wallowing in the gutter, still
the Kelley treatment would be good
thing and entitled to the highest praise;
for it must be said that each man who
takes the treatment would at least be re-
stored to reason aud true manhood long
enough to open the windows of his soul
and let the blessed sunlight of God illum-
inc its dark recesses--it void give him
one more chance to be saved if he wants
to be saved.

THEY SLANDtR THE CROATANS.

Republicans on the streets of this city
yesterday, and doubtless elsewhere. act
ing under instructions from headquart-
ers, were asserting that the outrage at
Ashpole was committed by Croatan In
dams, and not by negroes. Also in
obedience to the command of Republican
managers The Progressive Farmer
printed that it had Learned from what
appeared to be reliable source" that
the trouble was between Croatans and
whites.
Though the source from which the as
sertion came stamped it as Il pure fabri-
cation. the News and Observer sent a
query to the Lumberton Robesonian.
The reply came promptly THE
CHARGE THAT THE FIGHT WAS
BETWEEN CROATANS AND
WHITES IS AN INFAMOUE LIE"
The details given this morning confirm
the facts as printed in our extra of
Monday morning.
1t would appear that there is no bot
tom to the infamy of which the Fusion
lists and their slanderous press are ca
pable The Croatan Indians have never
been slaves. They are not at present
the slaves of Fusion pie-eaters. Hence
they are to be branded by these pur
veyOrs of SANDER, by tongue and pen,
throughout the State with being guilty
of a crime with which they had no con
nection whatever. Guilty before the peo-

ant negroes to burn and murder, these

to cast odium upon a whole race of in
nocent men. Can brazen shamelessness
go further?
Dog, Whiteman, Red Indian, anything
high nor too low for these detractors to
attack its character and standing. They
have sought to besmirch the robes of the
clergyman and the toga of the states
man; they have tried to emperil the
reputation of North Cardinals white
womanhood for virtue and to impeach
the reputation of it's white manhood for
veracity: they have falsited official
records and suppressed data of public
business to charge innocent men with
peculation i'll office; they have ended
by melting ignorant men to commit ar
son and murder, and when the crimes
were attempted charge the partial ac-
complishment upon men as innocent as
the babe in arms.
From their aspersions the sanctity of
he grave has not been sufficient to pro-
tect the stainless dead and from the
envenomed fangs of their SANDER no
panoly of good deeds has availed to
safeguard the living.

FEDERAL BAYONETS WILL Be FUTILE.

"Nyhom the gods would destroy they
first make mad"
Senator Pritchard and Governor Rus
sell are about to ask the War Depart
ment for Federal troops.
What they see ballots will not accom-
plish for them they think to accomplish
by bayonets.
They are mistaken.
The year of 1893 is not the year of
1868.
North Carolina has been reconstruct
ed"
There is no need of Federal troops
within her borders To summon them is
an outrage upon every law-abiding citi-
zen in the State.
There has been no infringement of the
law by white men in order to win in
this campaign. There will be none.
This is a campaign for law and order,
not a campaign of violence The white
mans party will stay within the bounds
of the law but it cannot be bulldozed by
bayonets.
Negro domination cannot be main
tanned by force because there is no at
tempt to be rid of it by force.
Let Daniel L. Russell and Jeter C.
Pritchard perpetrate this outrage if they
dare. 1t will make the defeat of the
party of negroism and violence more over
than it would be otherwise.
SO far as they are concerned the insult
has already been offered. The answer
of the law-abiding but unterrified white
citizen body on the Sth of next Novem-
Der will be meet for this last and gross
est insult.

THE DISFRANcHlSEMENT LIE Is AT AN END

Every honest man in the State, white
or black, has quit going about repeating
the lie that if the Democrats carry this
election they will disfranchise all illit-
crate voters.
The record of the Democratic party,
which was in undisputed power in North
Carolina for twenty years, was full an
swer to the charge that it intended to
disfranchise any voter, and was accept
ed by all reasonable men. The Consti-
tutional inhibition ought to have shut
the mouths of the educated liars. When
neither of these things satisfied the Flu
sion howlers, the chairman of the Dem
ocratic Executive Committee, in or
der to leave no loop-hole for Fusion poll
ticians to deceive the most ignorant,
made statement committing the Dem
ocratic party not to disfranchise any
voter. Following this guarantee is the
like utterance Of the leaders of the party
on the stump and the statements i'll the
Democratic papers.
We will not longer hear this lie that
the Democrats propose to disfranchise
voters from any man who values his
reputation for truth. The assurances
from the State Chairman and the lead
erS of the party settle the matter fully
and completely. If any Radical dema-
gogue repeats the lie in the face of these
assurances nobody will pay any atten-
ton to such a maIigner

CAN A WHITE MAN GET JUSTICE

Some months ago we published facts
showing that at Wayne court Judge Rob
inson had prostituted the court to protect
Republican wrong-doers who were con
victed, while he gave severe punishment
to Democratic offenders.
To-day we publish special from
Bladen county showing that Judge By
mum has signalled his entrance upon his
judicial duties by gross favoritism to
negro offenders, while giving severe
sentence to volunteer in the Cuban
army who defended himself against at
tacks of negroes.
1t is bad enough that under Fusion
government the negroes hold over 300
offices and are in control Of public affairs
in North Carolina. 1t is intolerable that
a. white man is prosecuted while negro
offenders escape with light punishment
In North Carolina it has come to this

sion' candidate for Congress, having
been nominated by gold-bug Populists
with the assistance of Duncan's Revenue
gang, and the appointees of Jeter G.

being an honest man, and seems to be-
lieve that he is right i'll the position he
has taken. He says that no honest Pop

Miss Lillian Lewis presented
For Liberty and Love" at the
opera house last night. 1t is a
Cuban military play, and it is not
stretching truth to say that the
audience went wild with enthusi :
asm over play, players and pro-
ductions. Miss Lewis has ma
tional and an international reputa-
ton, but nothing she has present
ed heretofore has met with such
universal appreciation as For
Liberty and Love-" The same
company that supported Miss
Lewis in her Boston and New
York engagements appeared with
her here. The scenery is beauti-
full and some of the effects are ex-
cellent. The play itself is just the
thing for the time; its sentiment
and patriotism have the ring of
truth. The plot is intensely
strong; the climaxes are thrilling
and the comedy is spontaneous
and brilliant Gainesville Hes
perian.

Captain j. s. Hammer re-
turned last night from Wash
iEgton, looking hale and hearty
but, as he said, 'glad to get
back home. When asked if his
mission had been successful,
the captain replied, "Yes;
very" and added that the at
torney general was ready to in
troduce a bill to cover the
emergency arising from the de-
struction of the valuable papers
and vouchers by the recent fire.
Further he said that since his
return he has been informed by
Inspector Mountjoy, who has
been at work here for the past
two weeks. that he had really
got the matter of the SIS, 900
worth of vouchers which were
destroyed, all in shape, there
being a difference Of only about
81 so, az : he expects to find
that.
The captain is the most pa
triotic man in the Territory to-
day. and lauds President Nc
Kinley to the skies.
The war spirit, he says. is
rampant at Washington, and
the very look of every one in
authority at the capital gives
token of the presence of a cri-
sis in Cuban affairs.
