ment in the. proclamation is
absolutely true.
Mark we'll, however, the
stand taken by the mayor after
the grand jury reported. Since
then he has been anxious tc
tell the public that, of course
he has known at all times
about the gambling but was
unable to get evidence to con
vict. This is equal to admit.
ting that he has been lying
about the matter before. He
either lied when he kept on
saying he knew there was no
gambling, when. he stated that
his special detective had as
certained for sure that there
was none and when he stated
in his proclamation that
none could exist if the
police did their duty, or else he
lies now when he says he knew
all the time about that
gambling. Whichever horn of
the delemma he takes he shows
he is unscrupulous and unre-
liable and has assumed : the
name "Honest Henry" to de-
ceive the innocent and con-
fid1ng. i
When Truelsen asserts that
evidence against gamblers
cannot be procured we answer
that Mr.tRustgard had no diff
Guilty in procuring it.. .n.5.=
When he tells us that
gambling houses cannot lsbe
closed we answer that Mr..
Rustgard had no difficulty in
closing them. =. y.% ].
When he says that only
private games were played we
answer that the records in the
municipal court of the two
cases instituted by Mr.. Rust
gard show. that on one. evening
there were as many as % men
in one room playing
roulette and faro.
AS has already been. re-
whether or not it is
right that gambling houses or
assignation houses be per-
mitted to run is not here under
discussion.' Our objection is
to the perfidy and deception of
the mayor in assuring the de-
cent element that there are no
such places in operation and
at the same time turning to, the!
disreputable element and de-
m anding their support for hav-
ing run the city wide open.Such
a course is so low lived and
disreputab1e, shows such de-
pravity and total lack of honor,
and is such an insult to the
voters of this city that it is in
comprehensive how a self
respecting person would want
to be known to have voted for
him with a full knowledge of
his true character.
Had Truelsen as did
out boldly and
stated that he thought it a
proper and wise policy to
allow gambling and assigna-
ton houses to run and that
they were run with his know
ledge, he would have evinced
some elements of manhood
about him. But that is not
Truelsen's style. His style is
to be two faced and<swing him
self into power by fraud and
deception.

A HUsBAND-BEATER FINED.
Mrs. Oliver Marable Pays 50 for Thrash
ing Her Lord and Master.

Evidently Mayor Russ is trying to en-
courage misunderstanding, and for this
he cannot be too strongly condemned.
Mrs. Oliver Marable, colored, was be-
fore His Honor yesterday morning
charged with this brutal crime and he
discharged her ON the payment of ~
and costs.
Just think Of 1.-TWO dollarsl Wife
heaters have often been known to
escape with only a reprimand from the
court; but husband beater-that's quite
a different thing.
If such as this is allowed to become
the rule and wives once get it into their
heads that they can escape thus lightly,
the uch-boasted liberty and freedom of
this country is gone forever. Why, soon
no husband would dare thing of staying
out late at night, or going home more
or less tipsy, or mistreating his children,
or neglecting his wife, or kissing the
maid, or quarrelling about the break
fast, or commenting on the pies his
for his better-half to split, Or
Well, in short, Man, who is made in
the image of his Maker would have
left him none of the liberties for which
his ancestors fought and bled and died,
and perforce would have to go to his
work like decent sober citizen and be-
have like a good little Sunday school
boy.
1t cannot be that Mayor Russ has
ever contemplated the grave conse-
quences that must inevitably result from
his decision.

THEY BELIEVE IN PRAYER.
Two Negroes Who ''Natcherly Prayed
Demselves Out O. Jail"

Just.at this particular time the negroes
in AXE county Jail are great believers
in the. efficacy of prayer. They never
tire of reading about Paul and Silas
praying and the prison doors opening,
and it is not an uncommon sight, after
one of them has read it aloud, to find
them all huddled together on their knees
in the corner of a cell, praying. One
begins and soon another takes it up and
then another, until all have joined in.
And here is the cause of it: Last
week while court was in session one of
their number prayed several times one
day to be set free. Soon an officer came
for him, he was taken up into the court
room and turned loose. This excited
some comment among those who were
left; but next day, when the mother of
a boy who was in Jail came in and made
him pray to be delivered and half an
hour later he was set free, the negroes
were amazed.
lord God Almighty" said one, roll
ing his eyes, as the boy rose from his
knees and walked out, IF dat niger
amt hatchery prayed hisself clean out
o jail"
And that is why they now spend their
days and a good part of the night read
ing about Paul and Silas and praying so
that everybody in their neighborhood
can hear them.

A PROPHET SAYS NOT
GIVES REASONS FOR THE FAITH
THAT is IN HIM.
PRlTCHAR0 DOES WANT THE JUDGESHlP
viii Mckinley Keep it for Him Until He Sees
How the Next Legislature viii Stand?
Three Very Strong
Candidates

There was little talked Of here yes
terday-in a political way-except the
resignation Of Judge Dick and its re-
suit upon the political ehecker-boarl.
Some took Pritchard's denial of his
candidacy as meaning what it said, while
Others took it with several grains of
salt. But men of all parties declared
that it would be great mistake in the
National Republican party to allow him
to resign, with the chances so strongly
in favor of the next Legislatures being
Democratic.
One long-headed politician-who is
nameless here-but halls from the Pied
mont section, not thousand miles from
Greensboro, reasoned in this way:
Il see in the News and Observer that
it is believed in Washington that Judge
Dicks successor will be appointed with
in the next week. This is all wrong-as
wide of the mark as is the belief that
Pritchard is not a candidate for the
place.
'.Pritchard is a candidate, and for
that very reason the appointment will
not be made within the next week, or the
next month. or the next six months. 1t
will not be made until the next Legisla-
ture is elected.
IF that goes Democratic, then all
chance Pritchard ever had of getting
this coveted prize is gone forever. Ii
the Legislature is democratic he
will be appointed and the Legislature
called on to elect his successor"
But Federal courts must be held.
What will be done in regard to that be-
tween now and the meeting of the next
Legislature|
Just what has been done for the last
year or two, while Judge Dick has been
i'll. Other judges will hold his courts
Judges Purnell and Brawley can easily
do it,
Suppose the Legislature is anthem
ocratic, and Pritchard can't take the
place. then who will be appointed?''
There are three strong candidates:
Douglas, EWart and Boyd. Douglas is
a man Of great ability, with the in1u-
ence Of brilliant father and Gen. Grant
back of him. Ewart served in Congress
with Mckinley and backed him in a los
ing fight for Speaker against Reed. Me-
Kinley lost and Ewart shared his for
tunes. This viii have great weight with
the President now. Then there's Boyd.
He has, since going to Washington. very
strongly entrenched himself with the adj
ministration. Add to this the fact that
there is no man in North Carolina more
popular with the bar of the West, and
you will see that he, too, is strong
candidate"
How about Lusk? / hear he claims
to have Pritchard's support
''Well, he hasn't. Pritchard is not COM
mitted to anybody. And Lusk is simply
not in the race.
Unless some very strong pressure is
brought to bear, predict that there will
be no appointment until the next Legis-
lature is chosen. The candidates will
fight and scratch over the place for
awhile, then the matter will die out
and be discussed very little. Pritchard
controls the situation"

HE CAN'T GET A PENSION.
But Everybody Wishes the State Were
Able to Give Him One.

The following letter, which is indeed
a most pathetic one, was yesterday re-
ceiyed by State Auditor Aver:
.'To the honorable Syrus Thomson State
treasurer of dear sir | write you a
few lines Of inquiry / wish to know if
there Is any provision made in the PEN
ton law for the militia soldiers who
served in the Confederate war as State

widow of a soldier who died in serVis
4 think she is also entitled to a pention."
Both the writer of this letter and his
wife are barred from the benefits of the
pension law He, by reason of the fact
that he can't show any wound, and his
wife because she has married again.

AMONG THE RAILWAYS.

1t was the intention 10 JSs $50 As5y
to build a line from " tone

of Wel Virginia, but since Bond
decision /. IS hard to get the millions
necessary for the completion of such an
enterprise.
Mr.. Thos. J. Moncure, of Fredericks-
burg, Va, an expert civil engineer, has
arrived and will make the survey of the
railroad from Raleigh to Ellington. He
will start from Raleigh to-day over the
proposed route. Mr.. j. A. Mills, one of
the promoters of the enterprise, will ac-
company him.
It may be assumed as certain that
as a result OF the session of the Railroad
Commission week after next there will
be an order reducing considerably the
railroad fares. 1t is plainly said that this
is cut and dried. Senator Butler desires
it ana the Governor takes the same view.
The Wilkes Railroad bond case was
not heard before Judge Starbuck last
week, but will come up before him Janu-
airy 2Sth, at Winston. This is a suit to
inyalidate the railroad bonds.
Reports to the Labor Commissioner
show that in eleven counties there are
no railroads. These are Graham, Clay,
Yancey, Watauga, Ashe, Allegheny,
Yadkin, Pamlico, Hyde, Dare and Tyr
rell The total mileage of railroads in the
State is 1926, which gives one mile of
read for each fourteen miles of area.
A contract has been awarded for build
Ing a link of the Carolina and North
western Narrow Gauge Railway from
Hickory to Newton, ten miles. The road
will parallel the Western North Carolina,
on which the Carolina and Northwest
ern row has the third rail. The change
has been in contemplation many years.
1t is now expected that the Durham
and Charlotte Railroad will reach the
town HulHson, Moore county, next
week and there connect with the Car
thage Railroad. This viii make six
teen miles complete and in operation
from Gulf to Hallison.

GOVERNOR DOES NOT DENY IT.
Several Propositions Looking to Com
promise Have Been Made.

The news of the contemplated COM
promise of the North Carolina Railroad
lease controversy, printed exclusively in
the News and Observer yesterday,
caused much comment, though it was
given merely as a runlor.
During the day nothing further in re-
gard to it could be learned, except that
Gov. Russell was reported as acku0wl-
edging that the rumors were not with
out foundation and that several PROPOSE
tions loel1ng to that end had been made
from me to time during the progress
of the Eght.
He father acknowledged, it is re-
ported, that the lease or sale Of the At
lantic and North Carolina Railroad had
been under consideration.
The Governor arrived here on the $40
train, but he went direct to the Mansion
and did not come back to his office in
the Capitol and was therefore not seen
by a reporter in regard to the compro-
mise.
