A CRY FOR HELP.

In the Western part of the State
we have seen and felt some of the
results of the deplorable and dis
graceful state of affairs bought
about by the incompetent and cor
rupt government under which we are
now living, but this condition of
things is far more oppressive to the
people of the Eastern part of the
State, where there are many more of
that class of voters that can be used
as mere tools in the hands of design
ing politicians of both races.
The cry for help comes to the white
people of the West from the white
people of the East. They ask us to
aid them in throwing of the shackles
that sorely Cypress them. This is
one incentive to the white people of
Western Carolina to vote for white
supremacy. But more than this. If
the present state of corruption is
endorsed at the polls next November,
the tricksters and Gemagogues will
grow holder and the humiliating
methods now practiced In the East
will grow worse there and will spread
to this section and an intolerable
reign will pervade the Common
wealth.
So that another incentive to the
people of the West is self-preserva-
ton from the ills that now affiict US
and the worse things that the Re
publican party has In store for us
A few days ago, we pointed out the
sad condition that prevails at Green
vile. In the following article from
the Wilmington Messenger we find
hints of the demoraliaing situation
at other points in the East, together
with a Macedonian call to "come
over and help u.s." The Messenger
says:
"The white men of populous West
ern Carolina must come up to the
help, the relief of the eastern section
vi III oUIUcs we dEc oil
North Carolinians, and the west can
not rightly and humanely and
periodically remain indifferent to
the deplorable state OF affairs In all
the eastern portion. The other day
35 magistrates in Craven county
met and 81 were negroes. We have
not seen the precise figures but re
peat as we recall what was told us.
Tue figures appeared in the Raleigh
News and Observer. Think of the
condition OF a county or a comm Ini-
ty in which three-fourths Or one hall
or one fourth of the magistrates are
negroes. Such a condition Is enough
to prompt every white family to
move out at once and find civiliza-
ton. In Halifax county there are
eight negro postmasters handling
the private mails of the white people

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Sept. 1S-The work
Of the year began at Purdue last week. A
few changes appear in the faculty. Mr.
Leopold o. Danse, for several years with
Lehigh University as senior instructor of
mechanical engineering. has been appointed
instructor in machine design to fill the
place left vacant by the resignation of
Prof. John ]. Flother, who has accepted a
chair in the University of Minnesota. Mr..
Danse is graduate of Western University,
having the degrees of c. E. and NJ E. Be-
fore going to Lehigh he had a wide expert
ence as an engineer and draughtsman. He
was at one time associated with the Pitts
burg d Western Railroad as engineer, and
later had charge of the drawing room of
the Fort Wayne shops of the Pennsy lvania
Railroad. Robert S. Miller a graduate of
Purdue, and for several years an assist
ant in the engineering laboratory, has been
appointed instructor in the mechanics of
machinery Alfred Kenyon has been ap-
pointed instructor in mathematics, to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation of
DR.. E. NJ Blake. Mr.. Kenyon was for
merly connected with Hiram College and the
Case School of Applied Science, but comes
to Purdue from Harvard where he has
been doing post graduate work. The depart
nent of biology has recently received some
important natural history specimens. Mr.
Amos w. Butler, secretary of the Board of
State Charities of Indiana, has contributed
a very valuable collection illustrating the
animal life of this State. Prof. Laura A.
Fry, of the art department, Professor
Coulter. of the biological department, and
Professor Swiggett. of the German de-
Tartment. have recently returned from Eu-
ropean tri2s.

died Of congestive chils at the regimental
dispensary after brief illness. Detailed
reports have been received by Colonel Girard
from the various regimental surgeons on
the health of their regiments. They report
very few malarial cases and in the regi-
ments Where this malady has been greatest
it is on the decrease. Most of the cases of
TYPHOID and malaria have been brought
here from the camps in the South and Camp
Black, New York. Colonel Abbott, of the
First Rhode Island. is seriously i'll with
typhoid fever at the home of friend in
Middletown.
The Fifteenth Minnesota has moved on the
grounds vacated by the Twelfth Pennsyl-
vania, which starts tomorrow afternoon
for its home station for muster out. The
Minnesota regiment takes the place of the
Twelfth in General Gobins brigade of the
First Division. Chief Quartermaster How
ard says the Seventh Ohio, which has re-
ceived orders to muster out, will hardly get
away before Thursday This will complete,
for while at least, the movement Of troops
from camp. There is a strong probability
that the Fourteenth Pennsylvania will be
the next regiment to receive orders to mus
ter out on account of the trouble among
the officers.
The following medical officers have been
detailed as brigade surgeons: First Divi-
sion, First Brigade, D. A. Rannells Sew
enrh Ohio; Second Brigade A. NJ. C. John
ston, Fourteenth Pennsylvania Third Bril-
gade, c. E. Jauss, Eighth Pennsylvania.
Second Division, First Brigade, Burton S.
Booth, Northumberland third New York;
Second Brigade, H. d. Kneedler. Fourth
Missouri; Third Brigade, Lester S. Hull,
First Rhode Island.
The camp has become so widely scattered
that scores of army teams have been forced
to work eighteen hours day. The long
hours are telling on the health of the team
sters and Colonel Howard has asked the
War Department for seventy-f1ve additional
teams. He was advised to-day that fifteen
four-mule teams and ten two-horse teams
would Immediately be forwarded
The water system is being run into the
camp of the First Delaware and other out
lying regiments. General Graham will wait
until all the regiments have been supplied
before extending the system to corps head
quarters.

Things were quiet at the camp to-day. A
conference was held at General Wheeler
headquarters, at which the colonies of the
cavalry division were present. Views were
exchanged on the question of removal of
the troops to a new camp in the South prior
to their transportation to Cuba, and all
those present were of the opinion that it
would be better for their commands to re-
main at Montauk until the government is
ready to ship them to Cuba. The men are
now reported to be in as good condition in
a general way. as when they left their
posts last spring to mobilize for the cam
paign. General Wheeler will make a re-
port to General Corbin indorsing this view
of the case.
