NEGRO RULE IN RALEIGH.
A Negro Deputy Serves Subpoenas On
White Men.

There is no use in people going to
eastern North Carolina to flnd negro rule.
Stop in Wake county. Only yesterday
Il negro deputy sheriff, Turner Jones,
was serving a summons on some of the
leading white citizens of Raleigh, in
Guiding the mayor.

Alderman Robinson (colored trial Mon
day Frank Blackwell (colored) swore
that Lou Roberts (colored), witness,
was woman of bad character. Yes
terday Lou went to Justice Whitaker,
Republican magistrate, to get out Il
warrant against Blackwell, charging
him with SANDER.
In making out the warrant the magis-
trate charged Blackwell with the viola
ton of chapter So of The Code--a civil
statute. OF course this would not DO,
the action being a criminal one: but
the magistrate knew no better and sub
poenas for half a dozen white witnesses.

PRESBYTERY IN SESSION
MET AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
LAST NIGHT.
Welcomed by Or. Daniels, the Retiring Mod
orator Responds Opening Sermon by
Rev. A. r. Shaw, of Henderson.

The Albemarle Presbytery convened
in the Presbyterian church yesterday
evening at 7;30 o'clock. Most of the
delegates were present though a few
for one reason or another, are yet to ar.
rive.
After prayer and singing, Rev. DR.
Eugene Daniels. in a few well chosen
words, welcomed the Presbytery hearth
~ to Raleigh and the church of which
he is the distinguished pastor. Rev. A
IL. Shaw, the retiring moderator, re-
sponded on behalf of the presbytery.
The opening sermon was preached by
Rev. A. X. Shaw from First King. 20
chapter, 10th verse: And as thy ser.
want was busy here and there he was
gone" The preacher took as his theme
Neglected Opportunities, and gave his
hearers Il brief sermon, well considered
and weighty with thought. Opportuni-
ties are God-given whether in the nat
ural or intellectual sphere. or in the
spiritual life All opportunities are a
test of character. The failure of the
church to embrace all the opportunities
offered it has led to the organization of
bId6IS. eAttHtHl III tHtUl-
selves possibly. but yet performing func-
tions which really belong TO the church.
Opportunities are also a measure of re-
sponsibility
Opportunities may be neglected. Ac-
tivity at the expense of opportunity will
not sffice. neglected opportunities
being divine punishment The application
of the lessons drawn from the text was
especially forcible.
After the opening sermon the Presby-
terry was formally convened, Mr. Shaw
acting as moderator Or Johnson, the
clerk, was absent, and Rev. w. T.
Walker, of Oxford was appointed tenn
porarily. Rev. j. II. Morton. Of Tar
boro, was chosen moderator, and Messrs.
Brown and X. Y. Smith, were made
permanent clerks
The hours of meeting for to-day, were
fixed as follows: Presbytery sits from
8 Il. m. to l p. M, adjourns to 3 p. IN.
and sits at will. The Presbytery will
decide to-day whether night sessions
will he held. The minutes of the last
meeting were not obtainable in the abb
sence Of the clerk, and after considering
the matter of colored colportage. the
Presbytery adjourned to meet as above.

THE SOLDIERS GO HOME.
Only a Few Left to Guard the Camp
Property Remain.

The soldiers of the Second regiment
left for their homes yesterday on a
thirty days furlough The companies
went practically solid, only about ten
men and one commissioned officer from
each company remaining at the camp.
These were required to remain to guard
the camp property. In nearly every case
the commissioned officers left was the
second lieutenant. At the expiration of
ten DAYS. the second lieutenant will he
relieved by the first sergeants, and they
in turn will be relieved ~ the captains.
The first troops to leave were the
Lenoir company, which went away on
II special train ut | o'clock yesterday
morning. Extra cars were attached to
the eastbound Southern train yesterday
morning for the accommodation of the
Greenville and TarbOro companies At
! o'clock in the evening Il special over
the Southern carried the Wilmington
Fayetteville and Lumber Bridge com
panies. At 4 o'clock a special left for
the west, bearing the companies of that
section. Some Of the western men left
on the regular westbound afternoon
train, which was also provided with
extra cars In every case the troops
left in command of commissioned Off
Ger.
The boys were ovcrioyed ut the pros
poets of going home, and were in high
spirits.
There are many anxious hearts at
home awaiting the coming of their boys
Many of these homes were made glad
last night, and many more will he re-
joicing to-day because of the return Of
loved ones who have been absent for
the past four months at the call Of
their country.
There will be Il hearty welcome given
to the various companies upon their ar
rival home. There will not only be in
dividual welcomes, but the companies
will be given public receptions, Will
mington and Fayetteville. especially
have made extensive preparations for a
big welcome. One that will indeed make
the boys feel exhilirated and some
what compensated for the hardships
which they have endured. The Fayette-
vile company is the oldest military or
ganiZatiOn in the State, and their people
are especially proud of it. They will
probably get the greatest public demon
Stration. although Greenville, TarborO,
Lumber Bridge and the other points
from whicI the companies hail will do
the handsome thing.
The camp now presents very quiet
appearance.
Col. Burgwyn is here and will remain
in the city until the troops are finally
mustered ont The members of the
band are also here The band-master
it is understood, will locate here.
In this connection it might be well t0l
suggest the feasibility of getting the
band to remain here permanently.
Would it not be a good idea for the
merchants and other business men to
take hold of the matter. The band
could give free concerts in the various
public squares A good band is 4 great
acquisition to any town, and it is worth
the efforts of our business men 10 look
into the matter, and better still to take
some active steps in this direction.

FOOLISH POLICY IN RAILROADS.


Passengers Kept Waiting for Hours
With No Information as to the Cause.
The Seaboard Air Line has long been
favorite with the travelling public
here.
Two of the reasons for this have been
the uniform courtesy of its employees and
its close connections. If trains failed to
connect waiting passengers We're given
accurate information as to the where
abouts of the train. cause of its delay
and probable time of it's arrival. Only
those who have gone through the trying
experience Of long wait in a crowded
depot can appreciate how much this is
worth
For some reason, though, this policy
seems to have been changed, and yester-
day passengers were kept waiting about
the car-shed and in the depot for nearly
three hours without dinner and momen-
tarily expecting the arrival OF their train.
They were absolutely without informa-
ton as to the cause of the delay or it's
probable length, though threre was q
telegraph instrument in the ticket office.
1t is Il matter for regret to see the
Seaboard dropping into this policy of
doing business, a policy 50 long pursued
by the Southern, and for which it has
won so much deserved criticism.
1t afterwards turned out that there
was bad freigh wreck near Sanford
and the train could not pass until this
was cleared. How easy it would have
been for the agent here to have found
this out and have told the passengers.
Under such circumstances Nobody could
have attached any blame to the road
and nobody would have been cross. 1t
lis uncertainty that worries and wears
one out.

BRAVERY OF THE SpANIARDs.

REJOICE as We may at Commodore
Dewev's victory we can but admire
the bravery Of the Spaniards and the
determination and daring with which
they fought to the last. Seeing
themselves clearly outmatched by
the superior ships, and superior
gunnery of the Americans. with an
inhalation staring them in the face
they never the less fought as though
they expected to come off conquerors,
defying death and spurning a chance
Of escape. As ship after ship Of
their fleet was destroyed by our
superior guns and gunners, not a
man is reported to have deserted his
post Many are reported as going
down with their ships even when
honorable escape could have been
made. They fully sustained the
reputation which Spaniards have
borne from time immcmorial of being
brave, ver-willing g-to-surrender

FROM THE MORAL STANDPOINT.

Sober afterthought is ofttimes
fatal to the glamor of great victories:
but such is the exceptional and bril-
liant character of our recent triumph
IN Manila harbor that instead of con-
firming the truth of this statement it
continues to fascinate our minds with
fresh charms.
We hazard nothing in observing
that the battle of Manila will rank
among the greatest naval engage
ments of the world, not only because
Of the signal and complete triumph
| which is conferred upon our flag, but
also because OF the quality of mercy
which it exemplified in such abund-
| ant measures.
On entering the waters of Manila
harbor in the dim twilight of the
early Sabbath, Commodore Dewey
perslstently refused to return the
.lre OF the enemy opened upon him
from the batteries on the shore fear
ing that in doing so he might intict
INJURY upon non-cOmbatants. Could
anything have been nobler than this
act OF generous and humane forbear-
ance' If some less heroic spirit had
controlled the situation, failure might
have come upon us through excess of
rashness and brutality, or even at
best, the shedding of unnecessary
blood might have dimmed the luster
OF our triumph; and in looking back
upon the cool and resolute demeanor
OF the man who held the destinies of
the engagement in his grasp we can
not escape the firm belief that the
hand of providence directed him.
Seemingly in recompense for the hu-
manlty which he exhibited in re-
fuslng to return the fire of the enemy
under the circumstances which sur
rounded him in the obscure twilight
came the signal victory which he
achieved later when he wiped out the
entire Spanish fleet without the loss
of one brave man.
But this is not the only feature Of
the engagement at Manila which
gives 1t moral tone and character.
When the Notifications at Cavite had
fallen underneath our guns, giving
us tree access to the shore, Commo-
dore Dewey Immediately went over
and commenced the work of minister
ing to the distresses of the wounded.
Rarely in the annals of internecine
warfare has the victor sent back home
such tidings: lam protecting Span
lsh sick and wounded. Two hundred
and fifty sick and wounded in hos
Pltal within our lines Though
clothed in blunt language. there is
beauty in the spirit which inspired
these words, and we should treasure
them in fond remem brance for the in
struction of posteritv. While we
have good reason to rejoice over the
triumph which our brave men and
stout warshiph have scored for us in
eastern waters, we have even greater
reason to to rejoice over the superb
display of moral prestige which
crowns the whole affair with the grace
of that beatitude: Blessed are tho
merciful. Atlanta Constitution.

AGAINST FUSION.

Mr.. Claude kitchin in engthlv
article in the Scotland Neck Common
Wcam makes vigorous protest
against fusion from which we take
the following:
Butler and his co-leaders, who will
fully, deliberately and maliciouslv
put the goldbug Republican party
in control of this State. can not be
rammed down the throats of the
silver Democrats under the cry of
"Silver and Bryan"
Butler and his co-leaders who will
fully, deliberately and maliciouslv
kicked good white men out and put
negroes in power all over the State
cannot and will not be swallowed bv
the white Democratic voters under
the cry of ''White Supremacy" SO
strong silver men are they. so strong
white men are they. that. in fight
for silver and white supremacy.
they will never vote for the very
man who sold in open market this
State to the gold-bugs and negroes.
There is not negro-not a Republic
can-in Office to-day in North Caro-
Ina who was not put there by the
work and vote of the Butterflies.

SHAW FOR SOLICITOR.

As will be seen by reference to the
proceedings published elsewhere, at
the Democratic county convention
held Saturday. resolution was

Capt. W. b. Shaw :or Solicitor and
pledging the Vance county delega-
tion to his support.
Vance county is rightfullv entitled
to the nomination and in the
person of Capt. Shaw She presents
a candidate the peer Of any man
who has aspired to the position. and
one whom the district will be entire
~ safe in having to represent it; and
the convention will do honor TO itself
in making him its choice.
Capt, Shaw would make a brilliant,
vigorous, effective campaign and if
there is man in the district who
can overcome the majority against
us Shaw is the man. And we believe
