BUSINESS WOMEN AS WIVES.
Training in Practical Affairs Often Makes
best of Helpmeets.


1t has frequently been said that wo-
men in business employments do not
make as desirable wives as their sisters
who have lived only domestic lives. but
a recent observer takes a wholly differ
ent view of the case. He holds that
the effect of the woman in business is
not so much TO the advantage of the
woman as to the business man. Such
a woman has more respect for him.
more regard, more sympathy. She is
altogether less likely voluntarily to inn
pose upon him or involuntarily to ha
rass and worry him. She has been there.
she knows how 1t is herself, and this
personal experience and knowledge
make her more lenient and considerable
Every woman wage Garner worthy of
the name learns first, last and all the
time that success is attained by close
attention and singlemindedness. The
woman who realizes this must also real
ize that the same rule holds good of the
business man. In present capacity Of
daughter and sister, or in a future ca
pacity as wife, she is certain TO show
such a keen consideration for the bust
ness members of the household as is IN
dreamed OF in the philosophy of the
other kind Of woman.
There is no danger of her husband
being besought to just stop on his way
downtown and attend some specially
seductive special sale or to leave his
office an hour or SO earlier in order that
he may bring her home a lot of sam
pies" She has had practical and per-
sonal proof that il is through this sort
of thing that business interests are
made to suffer and she doesn't propose

WRlGGLING WON'T DO.

Spencer Il. Adams in his TRADE at
Durham yesterday tried to wriggle out
of the infamous charge he made to the
Columbus grand jury. He did not, so far
as appeared in the reports of his speech,
deny it specifically, but generalized on
attempts TO --hurt his character" If Mr..
Adams has been misrepresented by the
press. if he did not say the things inn
puted to him on the evidence of excel
lent citizens who heard the charge, It
should be an easy matter to set himself
straight. But thus far he has not, so
far as has appeared, offered a scintlla
of evidence to clear his skirts. He can
not escape his own words and their con
sequences. Glittering generalities will
not do. If he is innocent he can prove it.
That he has not proved his innocence is
confession Of guilt.
Mr.. Adams dcbased the bench and
befouled the judicial ermine by an APP
peal to negroes in his capacity as judge
that would nave been disgraceful in
stump speaker. The fact is black
against him and it stands. He can not
convince respectable and sensible men
by skulking over the district and telling
negroes his character is being fractured.
His course in the campaign is hardly
more creditable than his il-smeling jul
dicial utterances. The white people of
the district will gladly give Mr.. Adams
an opportunity to half-sole his character
in public. Why does he not meet his OPP
ponent on the stump? Can it be that
Judge Spencer Il. Adams is lacking Of
that moral courage which makes the
man and the want of which makes the
poltroon?
Mr.. Adams can face both ways, but
cannot face either his record or his OPP
ponent.

THE SWINS0N SCANDAL.

eve are not negro party, cry out
the Republican heelers and orators when
talking to white folks.
Let us see about that AT the last ses-
sion of the Legislature, Mr.. A. l..
Swinson, an original Populist of Wayne
county, was elected enrolling clerk He
was ordered by Speaker Hileman, Lieu
tenant Governor Reynolds and Claudius
Dockery to put two negroes on his force
as assistant enrolling clerks. He de-
clined to do so, stating that he already
had more clerks than he could keep
busy, and that it would be throwing
away the peoples money. That didn't
matter with them. They wanted to put
the negroes in office and Swinson was
groes on the role they would discharge
him.
Mr.. Swinson urged these Republican
leaders not to insist upon putting ne
groes in a position where it would be
Objectionable to the ladies who would
help to enroll the bills, but Dockery,
Hileman and Reynolds didn't care any
thing about the lady clerks-they can't
vote, you know--and Swinson was given
a peremptory order to put the negroes on
the pay roll or be kicked out Swinson
refused to do their bidding, and was
kicked out and two pie-eaters at So per
day each-J. NJ. Mewborne, present
superintendent of the penitentiary
put on to do the work heretofore done
by Mr.. Swinson, and THE NEGROES
ALSO WERE PUT ON to do nothing
but draw salaries.
Is this Democratic lie?" The Pro
gressive Farmer of February 23rd, 1897,
said:
1.-THE prosperity wave is still blowing
out of the Enrolling clerks office.
When last heard from, that office was
turning out prosperity at the rate of
$50 per day. 1t was in cold cash, too;
no confidence about that business. In
short, the concern was costing the tax
payers of the State just $50 per day.
Since the last writing Messrs. Reynolds
and hIewb0rne were put in charge, in
creasing the cost from $50 to 500 per
day.
ION Wednesday last the two negroes
that Swins0n refused were put on, in
creasing the cost..tn. $50 per day. Then
Speaker Hileman weniSainto the Popu-
list caucus and asked that two Popu-
lists be recommended, to ofrret the two
Republican additions. The caucus
promptly declined to do So tellAg him
that the office already had too MANY
men in it.
But this had no effect on the Repua,
licans. Ex-Populist Hileman, and Thurs
day Senator Smathers secured the APP
pointment of James Blythe. Il Cherokee
Indian from jackson county, to cleric
al position. This runs the expense up
to $40 per day, and the end is not in
sight. Thus the peoples money is being
divided out to pay political rewards.
There is no help for it now. But the
taxpayers Of North Carolina will
speak in thunder tones at the polls when
there is another election. No party, no
man. has ever been able to run rough
shod over the people of this State but
a short while. There is retribution in
history
The Progressive Farmers prophecy
will be fulfilled to the letter, even though

The Populist situation was hit off
with considerable correctness by the
man who observed that the honest men
who joined the Populist party for reform
are quitting it for the same reason they
joined it, to wit: For reform; and the
dishonest fellows who joined it for office
are staying in it for the same reason
they joined it. to wit: to get office

MUST SWEAR THEY vOT; FOR NEGROES.

The Republicans make every man toe
the mark and pass Il civil service exami-
nation as to his record in voting for ne
groes before he is nominated. Some
times this examination is conducted III
private and sometimes in public. At the
recent Wayne county convention the ne
groes delighted themselves by subiecting
Nathan A. Howell white aspirant, to
public examination before they would
give him the nomination. Here are the
questions and answers:
did you vote for Congressman
White negro) at the last election?"
Il voted for Mr. White" he answered.
Did you vote for Bryan or Mckinley
for PRESIDENT"
Il voted for Mr.. Mckinley"
"Will you vote for Congressman
White in the coming election!"
Il was born a Republican, and was
rocked in Republican cradle, and
will vote for Mr.. White in the coming
election"
The only difference between Howelle
case and the case of the other white
men the negroes nominate is that How
ell was forced to declare in public that
he had voted for the negro Whites for
Congress and that he would do it again.
Every man nominated or endorsed by
them is forced to do the same thing be-
fore he can get the negro vote In 1896
the negroes required Hal w. Aver, Pop
ulist chairman, to wa1K to the polls and
vote for the negro Jim Young and
against " Il. Broughton. And he
walked Spanish" at the bidding of the
negroes. And all others who expect
their votes have to do likewise.
