in the Germantown Pa) Independent

opening of the schools for another

The entire success of the child
however. does not lie entirely with
the teacher. Parents should co.
operate with the teacher and give
the best help possible, and if the
children have home work to pre-

CUR esteemed contemporaries the
Raleigh Post and Charlotte Observer
are respectfully referred to last week s
issue of the Columbus NeWS for 4
further substantiation of the charge
brought by that paper against Judge
Adams as regards certain remarks
alleged to have been made by him in
his charge so the grand jury at
Columbus court over which he
presided. Editor Maxwell reatfirms
the correctness of his published re-
port and appears to have made out
his case. Lawyer Lewis defense
amounts to nothing. He admits that
he did not hear any part Of Judge
Adams charge and personally knows
nothing about what he said or did
not say. And that he has ''learned
of no unfavorable criticism of it ex
cept that agitated by the editor O.
the Neeos' argues nothing whatever
There are many things in this worlo
| -unfavorable criticism and other
that Lawyer Lewis has not ''learne(
of and it is perfectly safe PROPOSE
ton to say he never will. And ye
they are, all the same.

BOSTIAN BRIDGE WRECK RE.
CALLED.
$500 Found of the Money the Infer
nal Wreckers Stole from the Dead
and Dying Passengers.


and Dying Passengers.
The following interesting item is
taken from the Kinston Free Press Of
Saturday:
About six years ago there was a
big railroad wreck on the Western
North Carolina Railroad near States
vile, at Rostian bridge. 1t was
thought that it was wrecked by men.
About two years ago man named
Howard, of Lenoir county, served
his time in the penitentiary and re-
turned to this county. While serving
his sentence in the penitentiary a
man in .there gave him map show
ing where were stolen things from
this wreck. The case was given to
Messrs. Wooten and Shaw, of Kinston,
who have been working on it ever
since then.
Mr.. Wooten received a letter yes
terday from one of his agents who
was searching as the map directed
near the wreck, informing him that
800 has been found, of the money
the internal scoundrels stole from
the dead and dying passengers.

WHAT does this mean? The Re-
publican State executive committee
adopts resolution advising that
Republican candidates hold no joint

1t looks that way. Well, we do not
blame them for not wanting to hear
the truth. But be sure your sins

LIE OR THE TRUTH?

One cannot be sure that everything
one reads is the truth. A contem-
porarv. making out a ease OF bad
management in the matter OF caring
for our soldiers at the battle OF San
tiagO, quotes Santiago correspond
ent as saying:
"a brigade surgeon told me that
one day an appeal was made to Cen
eral Shafter personally for relief for
and that Skaters reply was:
" 'G- d them, let them
die. What did they enlist for, any
how? I've got other things to at
tend to besides sick soldiers
Such brutality on the part OF a
General of high rank in the United
States army is incredible. If Cen
eral Shafter used this language
under these circumstances he should
be contaminated and relieved Of his
insignia Of rank If the correspond
ent manufactured this story he
should be convicted of criminal libel
and put in the penitentiary.-Char
As our contemporary says, lone
cannot be sure that everything he
reads is the truth, and we believe {
more cold blooded lie has not been
told about any man or anything since
the war began than this utteranct
attributed to Gen. Shafter. He ha:
| been beset with enemies, other thar
| Spaniards, and meaner and more
cowardly, for assassins of characte
whose weapons are tongue and pei
are worse than the open foe in battl'
array
We fully subscribe to what thu
Observer says in the last two sen
fences, but the difficulty would be IL
fixing the authorship and bringing
the scoundrel to just punishment i
the story were base fabrication.

JUDGE Spencer b. Adams was last
week nominated for Congress by the
Republicans of the Fifth district.
He defeated Thomas Settle by only
one vote and that gentleman charges
it to the revenue gang and office
holding crowd. Judge Adams had
only short while before been nomi-
mated to succeed himself as Superior
Court Judge. Hon. W. W. kitchin
defeated Settle (who is accounted one
of the best campaigners in the State)

P. E. Butler, of pack-train No 3, writing
from Santiago de Cuba, on July 29d, says:
'sWe had diarrhoea in more or less violent
form, and when we landed we had no time
to see doctor, for it was case of rush and
rush night and day to keep the troops sup
piled with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at
work and kept our health; in fact, sim
cerely believe that at one critical time this
medicine was the indirect saviour of our
army, for if the packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way of get
ting supplies to the front. There were no
roads that a wagon train could use. My
comrade and myself had the good fortune to
lay in a supply of this medicine for our
pack-train before we left Tampa, and
know in four cases it absolutely saved life "

The Young Mems Christian Assoc

close the doors of its rooms for lack
of funds to maintain it. The direc-
tors have contributed largely to its

the public have failed to give them
the necessary cooperative financial
support" it is said and the enter
prise goes under. Nor is the Raleigh
Association the only one that has
ceased to exist for the same reason.

if there may be but two candidates,

man and negro. James B. Lloyd IS
the Populist nominee, and George W.
White, colored, is the Republican
candidate As the Winston journal
says, 1.-The question now IS Will
LLOYD come down in favor Of the

in the interest of his grocery bust

article in the negro Daily Record at
lacking the honor of white men and
the virtue of white women, in mild

nothing, but says the politicians of

He Doesn't Relish the Way the Gov

unteers-He Says the Negro Troops
Will be Kept Away From the State
Until After the Election.
Washington, Sept. BIT is semi
officially stated that as result OF
the muddled state of affairs in con-
nection with the North Carolina Vol
unteers both the First and Second
Regiments will be ordered mustered
out of service within the next few
weeks. J. C. l.. Harris was at the
War Department to-day, attempting
to have the order for the First to be
mustered out revoked, the Governor
having again changed his mind. Mr..
Harris denied that the Governor had
requested the first order revoked,
but the officials here said they had
the message on file and that no order
relative to the mastering out Of the
North Carolina Volunteers had been
made except at the request of the
Governor.
General Corbin told me this after
noon that the matter would be def
nitely settled tomorrow.
He is disguised with the state OF
affairs in connection with the North
Carolina Volunteers since Governor
Russell has changed his mind sc
often. He says that the negro regi-
ment will not soon get back to the
State; that at any rate it will be held
away from North Carolina until after
the election.

CONTRARY TO general expectation
and orders that had been sent out
from the War Department in WASH

ment will be mustered out OF service
while the Second and Third will be
retained. An order had been given
for the Second to mobilize at Raleigh
where it would be mustered out, but
this order was revoked soon after
ward 1t was understood that the
First regiment would be retained in
service and sent to Cuba or Porto

Russell is responsible for the change
in the plans. How much he had tc
