WHAT OTHERS SAY.
CURSES, LIKE CHICKENS, COME
HOME TO ROOST.

Charlotte Observer.
II was the irony of fate that when DR..
Cyrus Thompson, Secretary of State, re-
turned from Concord, where he had held
M the sobriety of the present administra-
ton in contrast with the drunkenness
of Democratic administrations past-gib-
betting Hal Aver as the only member Of
the present administration who drinks
luuor-he should have found that during
his absence his own clerk, A. ID. *. Wal
lace, had been discovered helplessly
drunk behind the water cooler in his Of
fee. This was retribution as to DR..
Thompson. As to Mr.. Wallace, no case
could be more prophetic than his. For
many years he has not been n drinker.
Lately cloud has come over his wife's
mind, and after committing her to the
insane asylum at Raleigh and going
home to his little children he felt the
burden greater than he could bear and
for Surcease resOrted to drink. These
things he has said in Il published card,
which is calcula ted to touch a heart of
stone.
1t is painful to allude to the incident.
Mr. Wallace is entitled to the tendercSt
sympathy, and we would not trust far
the man who. for political or other red
sons, would seek to make capital of his
fall. He may be forgiven, but upon DR..
Thompson the occurrence reacts twice.
He gloated over the infirmities of other
men, and almost before the words were
out Of his mouth they came back to him
Boosting, like a Pharisee, of his own
righteousness and of that of his CON
freres, he turns to find in his own office
the sin for which no had 90 frpplV con-
demned others. But that is not all, nor
the worst so far as he is concerned. He
summarily discharges his unfortunate
clerk and parades to the world the rea
son why. 1t was Wallace's first offence
Instead of Throwing the mantle of charity
and the arm of sympathy about him; in
stead of setting him on his feet and Civ
ing him another chance. he throws him
off, for one offence of which many bet
ter man has been guilty, and trumpets
his infirmity to the world, meanwhile
seeking to make virtue of his own
meanness and ;hard-hear tedness.
1t is no pleasure TO discuss such q case
as this; mems personal habits are largely
their own concern, and even in the case
OF public men they become subjects of
legitimate comment only when they in
terfere with the discharge of public du-
ties. But DR.. Thompson has forced the
issue, and while it is impossible to resist
the temptation to remind him that curses.
like chickens, come home to roost, it is
fair to say that in his treatment of this
unfortunate man. he has shown himself
deficient in that Christian charity which
would much adorn a man of his high
profession.

THEY'VE GOT 1T TO DO"

Nash county is one of the white coun.
ties of Eastern North Carolina. 1t has
generally been Democratic, but in 1892
many Democrats joined the Populst
party in the hope of securing reform.
There were more Populists in Nash coun-
ty in 1896 than in any county IN the
State except Sampson. Most of them,
came from the Democrats and most of
them want white government. They
sent a delegation to the Populist Congress
sional convention in favor of Strowd and
were outraged when the Republicans die
tated his defeat. AS a result of the
abandonment of Populist principles, the
elevation of negroes to office, and the
evils of fusion government quite
number of the Populists have come
back into the old Democratic ship. The
action of the bosses in putting a negro
on the fusion county ticket will bring
home negro rule to the people and they
will vote the White Mans ticket. The
Graphic says:
''After the Republican convention held
in this city last Thursday had adjourned
the Graphic reporter approached mem
Der of the Rep. Elk. Fusion Committee
and asked if he thought the Populists of
Nash county would swallow their negro
candidate Harris for county commission
er. After talking for awhile this member
of the committee said: 1T makes no
difference what the Pops want. Harris
is on the ticket and they've Populists)
got to support him whether they want to
or not. The Pops know their salvation
rests with the niger and they will ac-
cept of anything"
of the pie-eating and pie-seeking Popu-
lists. They are compelled to obey the
dictates of the negro or go hungry.
Most of them would do anything to keep
their pie. They defeated Strowd for re-
nomination because Revenue Collector
Duncan and Assistant District Attorney
Ed. Johnson (col.), gave them orders to
defeat him. But the Populists who
joined the party for reform are not the
chattels of the negro. They will refuse
TO do the bidding of the negro politician,
who is now as complete master of Fusion
pie-eaters as ever Robert Toombs was
master of his slaves. Pie-eaters may be
the slaves of these negroes and grovel
in the dirt before them, but we know the
spirit of many white Populists in Nash.
They love freedom. They will have no
master, and they will resent the insult
of being told by a would-be negro master
''You have got to do it." That is an
insult white Populists in Nash will re-
sent.

THE NEGRO IN OFFICE.

n. Z. Baptist
The placing of the negro in office is
an injustice to the whole negro race
There are occasional examples where
they have been acceptable, but the rule
is to the contrary, and for their ineom-
potency and undesirableness the whole
race is made to suffer Political office
for the negro just now in the South
means the very worst thing for the negro
race as, a whole. They need industrial
training rather than the reins of govern
ment. The Anglo-Saxon has brought
them thus far, and they may trust to the
good white people of the South to give
them what they deserve in the admins
tratiOn of justice.

BRUNSWICK POPULISTS.
-Four of Them Who Believe That Their
Home is With the Democratic Party
There are Others.

Iredell, n. c., Sept. 20.
Editor Wilmington Star:
We have been voting with the Pop
ulists until we see where We ale
drifting. When we joined them We
thought We were doing right, but now
we see we have no home except in the
White Mans Party.
One Populist friend need not think We
are "getting n button" for writing this.
We do it on our own accord. No one
has influenced us in any way. We claim
nothing as it is our duty to warn young
men against the wrath to come. We also
write this letter for the benefit of orr
children and grandchildren and genera
tons not born.
We love our Populist friends and wish
they could see as we do. A great many
of them we know have had their eyes
opened as we have had ours opened and
will vote with the good white people III
the future.
Yours, very truly,

PROTEST AGAINST
 HOSPITAL FUNDS Dr. Gray Says City Has No Right to
 Appropriate Money FOR SECTARIAN PURPOSES Aldermen Had Done So in Giving Money
 to Sisters Of Charity. THE CONSTITUTION PROHIBITS IT The Doctor Says Politics is Behind It, and That Lawyers Tell Him
 City Can be Enjoined
 from Paying.
FOR SECTARIAN PURPOSES
THE CONSTITUTION PROHIBITS IT


Dr. Gray, the pastor of the First Baptist church, has protested to Mayor Evans and some other members of the city council against the appropriation by the city of $500 to the Sisters of Charity hospital.
 This subject was first sprung by Dr. now holding revival services at Dr. Gray s church. pr. Broughton contended that a municipality hadn't the right to appropri- ate funds to a sectarian institution.
 At the services Friday night Dr. Gray made a statement in justice to himself. He disclaimed having suggested that pr. Broughton refer to this matter. His ut terances were made entirely of his own &C., cord.
 In explaining his views on the subject pr Gray said that he heartily condemned the appropriation of municipal funds for sec tartan purposes, and if he could conceive of the Baptists asking for it he would op- pose such request more vigorously than if other denominations sought it.
 "The doctrines of a separate church," he continued, land state is fundamental as laid down in the constitution of the United States and that of Alabama that the ap- propriation of municipal funds for sec tarian purposes be not permitted
 In an interview yesterday afternoon Dr. Gray denied any intention of fighting a denomination. He said it was wrong for a municipality to appropriate money for this purpose and this was the sole ground on which he based his argument. He said h. nfy ,i,,a an4 lawyers and that many of them had told him that the city could be enjoined from paying the money
 Dr. Gray admitted that he had protested against the city's action to Mayor Evans and Chairman H. B. Gray, of the finance committee, which recommended the appro priation. But denied that he had mad, any statement that he would take steps tt see that the money was not paid. He ar gued that the hospital was not publ institution.
 ''It would be wrong" he declared, "fol the churches of this city to form an inter denominational alliance and accept sucf money. The hospital is un0 the aus pices of the Catholic church and will be managed by them. Therefore it Is sec. tarian. I do not use sectarian in an un pleasant way. An institution to rightfull! receive moNey from the city must be strict ly non-denominational''
 pr. Gray intimated that politics was be hind the appropriation, and that ther were candidates who wanted the vote tha this appropriation would carry. When approached last night Mayo Evans declined to be interviewed, but ad mitted that Dr. Gray had been to see him Father OReily, of St. Pauls church l who has been an enthusiastic leader in tn l work, was asked about the matter but re | fused to talk.

CHARLEY BRIDWELL,
Brakeman on A. G. S. Railroad, Run
 Over and Seriously Injured

Charley Bridwell, a brakeman on the Alabama Great Southern railroad, was run over in the freight yards of that road last night just above the Twenty-first street bridge and was very seriously injured.
 He was coupling cars in the yard, and was just steppink from the engine to the caboose when he slipped and fell under the train Although the wheels themselves did not pass over his body, all the iron work under the caboose struck him and he was picked up in a terribly torn and bruised condition. He regained consciousness after short while and said he was suffering great agony. He was taken to the Hillman hospital and his wounds dressed by Dr. Copeland. He has a fighting chance to re- cover.
 Bridwell came to Birmingham only week ago from Macon, Ga, where he has a wife, two children and a brother living. No one was to blame for the accident. En- gineer Young was in charge of the engine on which the accident happened.
