Curious. But they are whites.
The London Saturday Review is very
severe on Americans, and Depew, the
New York dinner speaker, is described
as " a painted puppet and a snob." It

depravity civilization is capable of de-
scending.
The last congress made enOrmous ap-
preparations. The war lasted for but
four months, but the Fifty-fifth con-

taxpayers. The great war cost but
about three times that great sum. OF

A SICK STORY

The present administration is about
the weakes thing this country has
been afflicted with. Mckinley is about
a third-rate politician of the western
type. He is a weak brother and his
chances of misgoverning through an
other term are not f1attering at pres
ent. He never liked the south, and at
heart he does not like it now. His ad-
m~inistration in war has been a great
failure. 1t was not happy or great in
peace. 1t is worse and weaker in war.
The American people will hardly ask
for more of Major Mckinley when his
present term expires. Four years of
Mckinley, Alger & Co. are quite
enough for a free people who like able
administration of public affairs. Every
thing almost went wrong in the war.
Great complaints as to mismanage-
ment began almost with the first week.
1t was a huge blunder at the start and
it has continued from bad to worse.
Take this TO show how the war de
partment most mismanaged as TO sup
plies for the soldiers. General Wheel

GladstOness Will

London, September 5.-The will of the
late Rt. Hon. William E. Gladstone
has been %probated. It shows that his
personal estate is valued at G59. SOC.
Mr.. GladStone's will was written bv
himself in IN ordinary memorandum
book. It is a document of about 2.oOO
of penmanship. The second clause of
the will has reference to the funeral
arrangements and says:
Commencing myself to the infinite
mercies of God in the incarnate Son as
my only and sufficient hope,I ueave the
particulars of my burial to my execu-
tors. specifying only that they be very
simple and private, unless there be con-
sluSive reasons to the contrary. And
/ desire to be buried wher nv wife
may also lie. On no cou shall a
laudatory inscription be placed over
me-"
After appointing his sons as execu-
tors, the will charges the future pos
SCISSOR of Hawarden to remember that,
as the head Of the family, it will be
his duty to extend good offices to other
members there according to his ability
and their manifest needs and merits.
The first of the document leaves
souvenirs to servants and beQueaths to
his grandson, William, as heirloomS all
patents of crown offices held by the
testator and books and prints present
ed to him by the queen, letters from
the queen, etc.
The will bears date November 26th,
1896.

In the last speech that the able
Judge Boykin made-only the day be-
fore he died-he showed who was re-
sponsible for drawing the party line
n -~arousing race a~ntagonisms. The
negro line was drawn by the negroes
themselves, for they voted as one man
for h carpet-bag s~coundrels and the
scallawag photographers from the
very start. Judge Boykin, referring to
later years when the negro solidifying
was unbroken, said this:
"In 1896 so unified was the negro
vote that the entire number OF negro
electors might have voted by proxy IN
the hands of one of their race. This
could not be attributed to n injus-
tice perpetrated against them by the
whites. The whites pay almost seven
eighths of the taxes. They educated
the negro as they educated their own
children; the built and supported asy-
Iums for their insane and their deaf,
dumb and blind: they secured them
justice in the courts; they selected
them as jurors; they assured them
personal liberty. They have been de-
ceived by the enemies of law and or
der, the white republican office hun
ters, and heir passions and prejud:ces
have been excited against their best
friends. And still, not n of them
has been permitted. in all these years,
to become a. candidate on a state re-
publican ticket or for a state office"

said: They are rewarded by local

intimately concern the intelligence and
morality and property of the taxpayers
are committed to their reckless and

From an authentic source, the OBJ
server is enabled to present a part of
Judge Walter Clark's side, in the mat
ter of the recent trial Of DR.. Kilgo at
Durham. Judge Clark says:
"The board refused to swear DR.. Kill
COS stenOgrapher, or to allow me to
have one at my own expense. The
board rejected all evidence of DIR. Kill
COS speeches in North Carolina, though
l was requested to present proofs of
his record in North Carolina, and of
his unfitness. They refused to enter
OF the minutes that this evidence had
been offered or rejected.
THE board ordered 10000 copies of
the minutes to be gotten up by their
stenographer, to be published. They
also passed a resolution that no
speeches except DR.. Kilgo's and Rev.
MI. Oglesby's should appear in the min
utes. They refused to let me speak,
unless 1 promised not to have my
speech printed. l then got up and left.
Oglesby is their own prosecutor.
1T appeared by one of Kilgo's wit
nesses that Duke pays $500 annually
of Oglesby's salary. He is Dukes and
Kilgo's pastor and was their prosecu-
tor in the recent trial.
Further, the board ordered all
newspaper reporters out of the room,
including John r. Webster, a grad
uate of Trinity and a Methodist and a
witness present under subpoena. 1t
also appeared that in spite of a reso-
luton of the Western North Carolina
Conference in 1897 which conference
is a half owner Of Trinity, condemn
ing the manufacture, sale and use OF
cigarettes, the college is a partner in
the cigarette business, having $3.50, 600
(more than one-half Of its endow-
ment) of the stock Of the cigarette
trust"

Farmers who come in from the cot

it. The sprouting of the seed in open
