GOT HIS HEAD PUNCHED.
Radical w. J. Harriss Thrashed For an
Insult--He Abused Chadbourn and
Foster in Open Court.


Foster in Open Court.
Rep-Pop w. ]. Harriss, white of skin
and black Of heart, presumed yesterday
to offer an insult to Mr.. Hill Terry, a
well known Democrat of this city, and
got his head punched for it. The affair
happened in this wise:
About noon Mr.. Terry was standing
at the intersection Of Fourth and Bruins
wick streets. and Harriss came out of a
near by bar, accompanied by several ne
gro associates. He walked up to Mr..
Terry and commenced discussing politics
in a jovial sort Of a manner. Mr. Terry
not liking. and rightly So men of Har-
riss' defective calibre paid little heed to
him, but on the contrary walked away.
Harriss followed close in his wake, and
finally accused him of having received
money to buy votes. For this lying ac-
cusation he was soundly cursed. This
he didn't mind, but, in his maudlin
state. offered to fight. and assumed an
aggressive attitude. Mr.. Terry took him
at his word, and sailed into him, adj
ministering a sound drubbing. Then he
jumped aboard a passing car and went
to Justice McGowan's office and sub
mitted to him his case.
HarrisS was less fortunate. as he not
only received we'll deserved thrashing,
but was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Will
liam Fonveille, negro, who happened
along while the fracas was progressing
Deputy Fonveille took his prisoner also
before Justice MCGOWAN, where his trial
at once started
Mr.. Terry and Fonveille both testified
that Harriss was entirely to blame for
the row, and Justice MCGOWAN was
magnanimous enough to suspend judg-
ment upon payment of costs. Harriss.
in his drunken condition, first wanted to
appeal the case, but finally he paid
up and staggered away
The circus part of the whole business
was Harriss' testimony. He stated
that he had just returned from Raleigh
(which we believe is true. where Tues
day afternoon he was at Governor Rus
sells mansion, along with the rest of
the vile black herd. He bitterly de-
nounced Chadbourn and Foster, and
said they were SO low down he hated to
speak about them. Several times he
used profanity. and had to be threatened
by the court with contempt proceedings.
Harriss is one of the Republican reg
istrars in the First ward. He is also
one of the Ten Good Citizens whose

HOW TO LOOK GOOD.

Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver is inactive, you have a bilious look,
if your stomach is disordered, you have
a dyspeptic look; if your kidneys are af-
fected, you have a pinched look. Sc
cure good health, and you will surely
have good looks. Electric Bitters" is a
good Alternative and Tonic. Acts di-
rectly on the stomach, liver and kidneys,
purifies the blood, cures pimples, blotch-
es and boils, and gives a good complex
ion. Every bottle guaranteed. Sold at
all Drug Stores. 80 cts. per bottle.

A POLITICAL DODGE.
Removal of Six Negro Policemen--It
VIII Not Deceive the Democrats.

Wilmington Starr
The removal of six negroes from the
police force by the rotten city govern
ment will deceive no one who is not
fit subject for a commission de luna
tico enquirendo. In the first place,
the Star has it from one who knows.
that the six negroes are suspended"
or laid off, for thirty days-that is,
until after election" There were no
charges against the policemen, and they
understand thoroughly, as every one else
does, that the movement is nothing but a
political dodge. 1t will have no influence
whatever on the Democratic campaign
here. The white men are inexorable IN
their determination to rid themselves of
negro rule. They know that if they
are defeated at least twelve negro
policemen will take the places of the six
suspended"
This farce was incubated in the Rus
sell-Butler-Dockery caucus held last Sun
day. A Star representative learned soon
after the ,conspirators adjourned that one
Of them said to Democrat: "There will
be some great changes here soon" And
the Star representative promptly re.
marked: '"That means, for one thing,
that some of the negroes win be taken
off the police force.
And so it is. But the Democrats of
New Hanover see plainly that this
movement is only an evidence of the
desperate straits in which Dan. Rus

it will only serve to make the Demo

While preparing to curl her hair yester- day afternoon, Miss Celia Nolan was asphyxiated by gas in her room at the home of her sister, Mrs. Walter Tillman, at 2939 Folsom street yesterday.
 Mrs. Tillman left her sister playing the piano early in the afternoon and went out on business.
