TEACHING HISTORY BY OBJECT LESSON.

1t is gratifying to know that the State
has purchased the historic battlefield at
Moore's Creek. The last Legislature
authorized its purchase and Secretary Of
State Thompson has completed the trade
and the title is now in the hands of the
State. 1t is the intention to make the
battle ground a park and to beautify il.
We are going forward in North Caro-
lima. The reclamation and the care Of
Guilford Battle Ground, periodically
undertaken by Judge Schenck, has been
the greatest object lesson for teaching
history. The erection Of the granite
monument 1879 feet high some years ago
at Moores Greek was the beginning Of
t q dedication of that field. It's pur-
chase by the State is an advance step
that means that North Carolina has at
last determined to honor the brave men
who won Immortality at Moores Creek
as well us ut Guilford Court House.

ABLE LAWYERS DIFFER.

There seems to be very grave doubt
about whether the Governor had the
right to accept a resignation which
Judge Norwood says he did not tender.
SO eminent a lawyer as Judge James II
Merrimon says that in his opinion Judge
Norwood is still judge of the Twelfth
Judicial district" He is also quoted as
saying:
'The effort to impeach him in 1897 re-
suited in some kind of n bargain that
cannot be recognized by law, being
against public policy, and it is strange
that any department of the State gov
eminent should undertake to decree
specific performance of such contract"
Judge Avery, who has been retained
by Mr.. E. d. Carter in the event of Il
contest, is quoted by the Asheville Ga
zette, as saying:
There is no reason why Judge Nor
wood could not lawfully create and con
tinue an agency as there was no re; b,n
why he could not revoke an agency to
resign the office which he held. The of
fee under our law was property and
might be disposed of through an agent
as other property. Judge Norwood con
stituted Colonel Lusk his agent and
failed to revoke the agency until Lusk
had acted in pursuance OF his authority
Norwood might have relieved himself of
embarrassment, and served his term for
the present at least, by revoking the au-
thority given Lusk but as he did not
do so the latter was empowered to act.
We do not pretend TO be lawyer, but
il does seem to a layman's mind that
no man ought to Ire said to resign
an office when he publicly protests that
he does not resign, that the paper con-
taining his resignation does not express
his desire and is improperly presented by
another and that he intends to hold
the office until put out under the forms
Of law. If that is resignation, then
a resignation is not a voluntary but an
act.

DoCKERY's TICKET IN 1884.
Wadesboro Messenger

Wadesboro Messenger
At the election in Richmond county
in 1884, Oliver III. Dockery, the present
Republican candidate for Congress,
voted as follows:
To represent the county in the Legsla-
ture he voted for Harvey Quick. a negro
lawyer, against John w. Sneed. one Of
the best white farmers OF Richmond
county. This is the same Quick WHO SO
''eloquently lionized the negro rapist.
John Evans, in negro papers. and de-
nounced the jury and good people of
Richmond county for his conviction.
For coroner, he voted for Felix Jacobs.
a negro man, against Daniel Gay, a one
legged Confederate soldier.
For Register Of Deeds, he voted for
one y. w. Harlee, a negro man, against
Alexander l.. Mcdonald, white man
competent to fill the office and unusually
esteemed in the county for his courteous
bearing.
This is Dockery's record in 1884. His
friends may say that that is too far back
to talk about In reply to this just ask
them if it is anywhere recorded that he
has repented of these votes? The truth
is. instead of repenting of them he actu-
ally has the cheek to boast of having
voted for negro in preference to one
legged Confederate soldier.

QUITS POLITICS AND GOES TO FARMING

We waited impatiently this week for
the Hickory Press to see what it would
say about the action of the Catawba
Republican Convention in turning down
Mr.. A. Y. Sigman for Congress. Here
is its only reference to the convention:
THE Republican County ConYen-
ton that met at Newton Wednes-
day. completely ignored the delegates
by going into mass meeting. which
was out of order and contrary to the
regular plan of organization"
There is one other paragraph indicat-
ing that the Captain is consoling himself
in his election from politics. We quote:
Captain A. y. Sigman raised over
800 bushels of wheat on his lands in
and near town. He says he isn't in
the farming business altogether, but
he seems to have hit it on wheat this
year."

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
NEGRO JAILER FOR WHITE IN
SANE.

Windsor Ledger.
That is the result of cooperation" in
this county. We have now confined in
Jail an insane white man. The keeper OF
the jail is a negro. This unfortunate in
sane person has committed no crime and
is in prison waiting commitment to th,
insane asylum. Owing to the crowded
condition Of that institution he may re.
main in Jail many months. His malddy
requires tender handling, delicate food
gentle nursing, humane treatment. None
of these can be had at the hands of an
ignorant negro jailer, he is unfit by
birth. race, habits of life and environ
ment to become the custodian of an in
sane white man. The white people of
BERTHE county ought not to be Inundated
by this spectacle. No matter haw much
political debt the white Republicans and
Populists owe the negro jailer, they
should pay it in another way than by
placing him in charge of the insane white
men of the county.
Great God! suppose it was an insane
white woman!
And it may be such a one very soon.
Opulists of BERTHE county behold the
work of your leaders, White men of
BERTHE county will you longer submit to
such humiliation? White men of North
Carolina! come to our relief!

THE STATE CHAIRMAN.
Windsor Ledger.

The Democratic State Executive Com
mittee meets in Raleigh the 2Sth inst,
to elect Il chairman. The greatest wis
dom should be exercised in making the
selection. The chairman should be well
acquainted with the entire State; thor
oughly convinced that the principles Of
the Chicago platform contain the proper
theories of government and finance; and
person whose past party affiliation has
been in harmony with those principles so
10 carry the respect of the party. The
chairman must not be the henchman
of any corporation, and neither must he
be man who SubscribeS to the plat
form of the party because he is driven
to it. If the cry comes up that he must
be against fusion, we reply that the
party has spoken on that subject and has
also spoken against Clevelandism. How
ever wise the State chairman may be.
the campaign this year is not to be
fought on the broad battle ground of the
State. The fight is to be local. Precinct
organization can win and will win if
looked after. AS we have said before
the fight for purity in church, in State
and in affairs must be made around the
fresides. Neighbor must whisper to
neighbor Man must council wife and
children. Start that force-the chimney
corner eloduence-and we will win.

SOUTHERN RAILROAD EARNING!
Manufacturers Record.

Figures compiled by the Financial
Chronicle Of 134 railroad lines in the
United States show that the gross earn
ings in May were $5,744.O 900 more than
those in the same month in 1897, a gain
OF nearly - per cent. Only twenty
three of the railroads showed a decrease
in earnings, amounting in no instance
to more than $4,000. 1t is especially in
tcresting to note that the Southern rail
roads were among those showing the
principal increased earnings. Among
these are the Illinois Central, with a
gain of nearly 100000; the Missouri
Pacific, with $2S6,000; the Southern.
with S263,0 600; the Cincinnati, New Or
feans and Texas Pacific, with $15S,000:
st. Louis and San Francisco, with $72.-

RIDICULOUS" ONLY TO THE SOUTHERN
RAILWAY.

We see from the Statesville Mascot
that when Mr.. Charles Price, the South
ern Railways chief attorney ''ridiculed
numerically the decision of the State
Supreme court in the James case while
Judge Smonton permitted it, Messrs.
Avery. Long and Overman in their
arguments defended the integrity and
dignity Of our courts, and maintained
that their opinions were sustained by
the highest authorities at all points.
When a man is killed on the Atlantic
Coast Line, Seaboard Airline, Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley. or any other
road in the State, except the Southern,
the ease is tried in the North Carolina
courts. The Southern has been in the
habit Of removing cases to the Federal
courts where, even when the judges were
not under obligations II, the road, the
cost, worry, uncertainty and delay, would
canse litigants to compromise on the
railroads own terms.
The Supreme court held that the South
ern could not become corporation
by simply buying the bankrupt w, n. G

1--WE oppose the removal by corp0-

No doubt Captain Price and other
Southern Railway managers who voted
for Mckinley think this ridiculous
plank. but when the Democratic party
organizes the Legislature next January
they will see this pledge enacted into
Il statute They will then, mo doubt
think the statute ridiculous" but they
can no longer defy the will of the State
by appeals to Federal judges who owe
their appointment to the manipulation OF
railroad politicians
There is no better plank in the Demo
cratic platform and no pledge more
necessary TO protect humble litigants
and uphold the dignity of the State.
