a negro. When the case came up for tria
her attorney filed an affidavit in accord
ance with the law above quoted. When
the negro justice Douglass promptly
transferred the case to w. III. Green,
another negro magistrate who is negro
barber, the case being tried in his barber
shop.
l would like to hear one Of the Rep
Pop-fusion negro domination defenders
wax eloquent in defining some legal
method by which this poor white women
could have by affidavit or otherwise Sc
cured a hearing before a justice of the
peace of her own color. This is only one
of many cases of the kind that occur
in the negro ridden sections of the east.
The claim that there are still white
magistrates in the Eastern counties is
true, but they are as a rule hold over
from former Democratic control and as
fast as their terms expire in township
where the negroes have a majority, ne
groes are being elected in their places.
Negro domination in many sections of
Eastern North Carolina, as bad as it is
as far reaching as it is, and as humiliat-
ing as it is, is not half as bad nor half
as humiliating as it will be unless the
white men in the State join hands to
check it. Complete negro domination in
many counties is an impending crisis that
must be reckOned with, must be con-
sidered, must be met.

THE NEGRO COMES FIRST
NEGRO SCHOOL TEACHER PAID MONEY

The Policy of this Administration is If There is
Anything Left Over from Negro Schools,
White Schools May Have the Crumbs.

Pumell, Wake Co, n. c., Sept. II.
To the Editor: You may tell the peO-
pie of Wake county to put this into their

In district No. 3, New Light township,
there are two OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Tor

mitteemen signed expense vouchers for

wood furnished each school. The aggre-

about eight dollars, and this entire
amount was charged to the white school.

claring-when driven to the wall on the
negro magistrate question-that even if
there are negro magistrates in Eastern
North Carolina and even if there are
one hundred and fourteen of them 10

white person is summoned before one of
these negro magistrates, he or she can

This popular writer must not be criti-
cised for not being up on everything re-
lating to natural history. lie is more
entertaining and does more good than
any ten of the learned professors. But
when we see mistakes that lead to mis-
chief or to the damage of those interest
ed in fighting worms and bugs we feel
compelled to interpose word Of re-
monstrance.
Bill Arp speaks of the tomato worm
as new discovery to him. He says:
"This season has developed a big, long,
bull-headed green worm, with sting
in the tail. They are covered with white
pustules about one-eighth of an inch
long and stand up thick and stiff and
seem to be eggs or embryo or germs OF
something that is devilish." Conclud-
ing. he says: "It is not unlike a tObac-
co worm"
Like tobacco" worm; and well it
might be, for it is the same. Though
there are several species of them they
are all larvae of the large sphinx moths
that may be seen just at dusk flying
around jimpson flowers and tobacco
blossoms, and they all feed upon the
different species of solOhaceae.
The "sting in the tail" None of them
sting or bite, and their looking horrible
depends entirely upon ones ignorance
and prejudices. Contemplated as works
of God, adjusted to certain ends. they
are all beautiful And here we might as
well at once object to his theology about
the devil being the author OF noxious in
sects and wild beasts. Is it not mis-
take to refer all things to mans use OF
pleasure? Surely God is the father Of
all his creatures and intends them al
to live and enjoy life.
The white pustules" observed on his
solitary tomato worm were not eggs of
any kind, but the little silken coco0ns
ichneumOn fly, which having eaten out
all the vital parts of the poor worm
had come to the surface and gone into
the pupa state preparatory 10 coming
out new ichneumons to go and lay theil
eggs on more caterpilars to eat them III
also. The ugly worm was therefore III
a dying condition when discovered by
our humorist
For this reason worms seen with the
white cOcocons on them should never b'
destroyed. They can do no more harm
and will never become flies to propagate
their species. 1t is our interest TO save
all these ichneumon cocOons. They pro
duce flies that are among our best
friends.

A gentleman bearing the enphoinous
name of James Kingbrowne, who has
been engaged here for several weeks as
foreman Of crew of Great Northern
bridge carpenters, left the city last Sat-
urday evening in great pomp-also in
debt. We understand he borrowed at
different times various sums Of money
from the men working under him, as
we'll as $40 from w. r. McChesney, be-
sides running store bill Of $l7 with the
Bruegger Mercantile Co., and $40 with
VIM. Snyder, promising to liquidate. Of
course, on pay day. Well, pay day came
and went. and so did J. Kingbrowne,
and he left on time, too, for on the eve
ming of his departure, he called at M. G.
Coleman's watch making department in
Snyder's store, and procured gold
watch, which had been left for repairs,
belonging to Fred CIaugh, claiming that
Claugh had sent him for it. A warrant
was sworn out Monday by Mr.. Coleman
against Kingbrowne charging him with
obtaining goods under false pretenses,
and it is hoped the gentleman will be
apprehended and receive his just
deserts,

PROTECTING TIMBER.

Winnipeg, Man., Nov. 26.-E. F.
Stephenson, crown timber agent, will
leaye tomorrow for Fargo, N. D., to
meet Col. c. A. Lounsberry, OF the
United States land Office, to discuss
matters concerning the land and timber
along the international boundary line.
The dominion government has spent
considerable money in making fire
guards to protect the timber on Turtle
Mountain. AS the timber belt runs
across the boundary line it will be nee
essary to make very wide, and thus
an expensive, fire guard there also. un-
less the American government can be
induced to protect the timber on it's side
OF the border. Mr.. Stephenson thinks,
however, he will not haye any difficulty
in inducing Col. Lounsberry to take
steps at once TO protect the American
timber.

Woman. Right. in A..tralas.

In western Australia they push tho
equality Of the sexes to conclusion
that would satisfy even very ardent
equal Fighters. There the men folks
act on the principle that if women de-
mand mems privileges they must take
with them mems responsibilities. Ac-
,ordingly, bench Of magistrates have
charged a woman with deserting her
husband, and what is more, they have
.ent her to prison for month because
she steadfastly refused to contribute to
the domestic comfort Of her life part
ner. A philosopher once remarked that
human beings should have care for
what they wished, for that thing would
surely come to them. The equal rights
sisterhood had better take warning
from their Australian cousins plight
or they may get more than they desire
in the way Of equality.-N. Y. Sun.
