LOUIsBURG ON A BOOM.
Building Going On at a Rapid Rate
Tobacco Market Doing Well-pelitics

Building Gong On at Rapld tate
Tobacco Market Doing Well-politics
Getting Warm.
Louisburg, n. c., Sept. 14.-(Special.)
This town is on a building boom. Dur
ing the summer there was started five
large brick stores. These are now be-
ing finished and are large, handsome
buildings of attractive appearance and
great convenience FRONT n business
point of view. Two of them especially
would be a credit to any place in this
State.
The tobacco market is doing well and
the daily sales are large and prices very
satisfactory.
The Louisburg Female College had
more than 80 per cent. increase in the
number of pupils this year over the last
sessions attendance and new scholars are
still coming i'll.
In political matters things are getting
somewhat warm. The tickets are al
ready nominated. Fusion is still the plan
in this county, but the Democrats con-
fidently expect to give the ''fusees" a
highly colored optic at the approaching
election.

Hon. C. Fl. Brogden Writes Regulating
Republicans.
'Goldshoro Argns.l


We publish below letter from Hon.
G. e. Brogden, a lifelong Republican,
who has filled the position Of Governor
of the State and represented his party
in Congress, but who now sees tire all
absorbing question as it is and comes
out boldly for white supremacy, of
which the Democratic party alone is the
champion:
Goldsboro, n c., Sept. -, 1898.
Editor Argus:
In reference to the current history
! of political events in our day, it seems
to be true that wonders will never
cease. | am reminded of this trite old
adage by the non-action of the Demo
cratic Congressional district convention
for the Second district that met at Will
son on the 31st of August and failed to
nominate a candidate for Congress.
Il have understood there are some
Populists who will not vote for Lloyd,
the Populist nominee, it is said they
will vote for White, the negro. Now,
how any respectable white Populist or
Democrat can vote for White, with his
well known and abominab!e black
record. passeth all my understanding. /
thought that Populists as well as Demo
Gratis were fer white supremacy, for
white rule and white metal, and White
is opposed to both. i thought they were
opposed to monopolies, trusts and com
bines, to all unjust and ruinous taxation
and to all rockies and profigate appro-
priations, and White is in favor Of these.
When he is in Congress he votes in
variably with Dingley and Grosyenor for
every thing they are for or against. and
he obeys their suggestions as implicitly
and promptly as he ever did the orders
of his master when he was slave
under him White is decidedly the most
Objectionable negro in the State as a
politician. Look at his speech III the
Republican State convention at Raleigh,
on the Goth of July last. While de-
nouncing the Democratic party he took
occasion to announce his opposition to
the free coinage of silver, spoke Of him
self and other negroes holding office,
and said there are plenty more being
made to order to hold offices. He got
down to the lowest plane upon which

AN OLD FIGHT.

The old-time fight over the cessation
under compulsion from unnecessary
labor on Sunday is on in Indianapolis.
Just what is necessary labor is the
question upon which the community
splits. Street cars run because the
people declare that service to be neces-
sary. Drug stores are open for the
same reasons. and likewise restaurants
and hotels. But the boundary has been
broadened by the acquiescence of the
police authorities, so that a man may
continue his employees at work on Sum
day in building a new house, on the
plea that the sooner it is completed
the better it will be for his household
gods.
Railroad ticket offices are opened on
Sunday, so are telegraph offices, on
the ground of necessity, but so broad
has become the license that tailors
toll at their boards in their shop win
dows. butchers open their stalls half
day, saloons and cigar stores are
kept open, and so on, until the law has
become a farce. Sunday laws. as
rule, are ineffective, but public opinion
is not When communities dereand a
certain observance Of quiet and rest
it will come about and no law is likely
to much advance it, The law is of
value only when it reflects the senti-
ment of the people behind it.
The popularity of the situation in
Indianapolis is that the influence seek
ing the strict enforcement and reason
able Interpretation OF the law is the
Merchants Association, while labor
organizations are inactive, the very
bodies, it would seem, which ought to
be foremost in securing for wage
earners one day of rest in seven.

returns do not indicate all that the

ficient to show that first class spank
ing has been administered to the polit-
ically wayward, an inf1iction that will
tend to cure them ef their folly.
We will have done with fusion, CO.
operation, union and all the other nice
names for covering UP an insatiate
scramble for the pie counter to the
sacrifice of political principle and party
organization.
We will have done with the "Espee"
howl as a Shibboleth for putting rant
ing demagogues into office. railroad
problem We may have, though the like
lihood is that competition and the pay
ment to the Government of all it's
claims against the bond aided railroads
will take the railroad question pretty
nearly out of politics. AT all events
a candidate will hereafter need some
thing more than reputation as an
anti-espee howler to carry him through.
That racket has been worked.
FUTILITY OF FUSION.
Bakersfield Californian: Judge Ma
guire's defeat for Governor, following
close ON the heels of the loss of the
State to Bryan, shows Enthusiastically
the futility of fusion of political par
ties ON one or two issues where there
is a widely separated sentiment on
many essential points connected with
governmental policy. Fusion has in
it no elements of strength and many
points of weakness. There can be lit
tie question but what Mcguire would
have made equally as good if not a
better showing in the election, had he
been the candidate of his party only.
The composite ticket was a failure now
as such tickets have been failures in
the past, and it is probable that the
State has seem and heard the last Of
fusion
