A PATRIOTIC WOMAN
HER EYES BLACKENED BECAUSE
SHE UPHELD AMERICANS
Young orena, Spaniard, Assaults
Her Violently After Argument
About the Spanish War

Although Nine. e. de Gutierrez, the pro-
prietress of the Spanish restaurant on
Wilmington street, can boast of several
pints of pure Castilian blood that has been
coursing through her veins for, 10! these
various summers that have smiled upon
her, she declares allegiance to the Stars
and Stripes. The lady is Of Spanish descent
but is native of this country, and now
that It Is a question Of choosing between
her country or her ancestors, she has de-
clared in favor of the former. AS re-
suit Of her patriotic declaration her face is
decorated with a pair of black eyes. ad-
ministered by a Spanish sympathizer.
Arthur Orena is the name of her assailant.
Orena was at Mrs. Gutierrez's restaurant
yesterday afternoon for lunch. While there
the hostess talked with him, and natural
ly the conversation drifted to the subject
of the war.
"Oh, l hope that the Americans will be
whipped" declared Orena. and he looked
at Mrs. Gutierrez, as though expecting Il
hear her endorse this reasonable senti
ment, but he was disappointed, for ths
madam responded nobly In the defense Of
the honor of her country.
"You ought to be ashamed to say that
replied Mrs. Gutierrez" this is your coun.
try. and you make your living here and get
your money here, and you ought to want to
see the Americans win."
''Oh, you make me tired" replied Orena
''You are a Spaniard yourself, and you
want to see your country whipped"
Mrs. Gutierrez became more indignant
than ever, and responded with spirit.

the ORPHANS HOME
ANNUAL MEETING AND ELEC-
TON OF OFFICERS
Attractive Program-Refreshments
Served by the Children's Cooking
Classes-The Years Work

The annual meeting Of the Orphans
Home society was held yesterday afternoon
ut the Church of Christ, with a large at
tendance of members and friends, and with
the president, Mrs. d. G. Stephens, In the
chair. Seated on the platform were twenty
two happy-faced, fat. healthy. well-dressed
babies. ranging in age from Is months to J
years. To the surprise of the audience,
they sat quietly for thirty or more min
utes, without wriggling around, crying or
tumbling OF.
The meeting opened with a song by the
larger children, under the direction of Miss
Jennie Hagan. DR.. Bradley, physician for
the home. then gave his report for the year,
stating that only one death had occurred,
and that little girl afflicted with heart
trouble when she was admitted.
Mrs. Stephens gave report of the work
for the year, in which time the committee
on admission and discharge had taken In IS
children and placed 119 in families, 46 Of
whom, sent out on trial, had been returned
to the home. The committee visits all the
families in which children are placed and
leaves them for three months on trial, and
| If satisfactory to all parties they are adopt
ed or indentured.
That 1t requires considerable food to pro-
vide for this family Of waits is shown by
the amount of supplies purchased-640 dozen
eggs. 800 pounds OF butter, 5000 pounds Of
sugar, 5000 gallons Of milk, $500 pounds Of
meat etc.
More attention has been paid in the past
year to manual training, with gratifying
results. The children attend the public
nd IN ho q
in as large proportions as elsewhere. There
are two sewing schools, and the boys do
well in both tailoring and the cooking class
es. The girls sewing classes have made Ill
garments in the past year, and 81 boys and
81 girls have been taught in the cooking
classes, in addition to their school studies
and sewing, special attention being paid
to avoidance of waste and making appetite
ing dishes at small cost.
An addition has been built to the home in
the past year, and the most urgent need
at present is the means to add a depart
ment and an instructor in carpentery. The
benefit Of this industrial training to chill :
dren who will doubtless be obliged to earn
a livelihood cannot be estimated, and it is
to be deplored that means are lacking TO
make it more varied and extended

Mrs. Sartori read an excellent paper on
the advance of charitable work in the past
ouarter-century along altruistic lines.
Christ taught that charity is love, and love
has taught us that charity means the CIV

OF the world today, and from it we have

quite finished, but Mr.. Virgins says 1t is
90 much better and more attractive than
be had expected that he can afford to wait
for a little tardy work. The inside is well
finished, with good plastering and hand
some windows.
The secretary OF our chamber Of COM

'Ane to be in keeping. He will be buBify en-
gagged for the next few days getting the first
carload in place before the second comes in.
Mr.. Virgins says it has been raining for
week. not enough to make the town mud
dy, but just dull and damp, and he conf
dentially adds that he is not stuck on the
elimate."

What q Populist Who Has 'sCome
HOme'' SAYS About Fusion.

Mr.. w. F. towards, of Lem
on Springs, Moore county, is
one of the many Populists
who have quit the party since
it's leaders have openly and
shamelessly sold It out to
the negro party. In a recent
letter to a friend in Raleigh,
he says:
81 have been a Populist
since the party started, but
the party has row gone into
negro supremacy and it has
nauseated me so that l am
again in the Democratic par
ty for better government and
White Supremacy. Hundreds
here in Moore have become
sick and nausea ted and if we
will now use the proper efforts
Moore county is bound togo
Democratic in November" "
Two weeks ago when we de
clared that many Populists
were quitting the party be-
cause it had been made an
assistant in corrupt rule, the
Re-pop-li-can organs defied
us to give their names. Day
10y day this has been done un
ii; they are all sorry now
that they gave the challenge.
The truth is that almost
within sight OF the capitol we
could print the names Of an
even hundred men in Raleigh

at seeing Republicans con

A MENDACIOUs CHARGE.
MOrganton Herald.

Morganton Herald.
1t is passing strange that
an absurd rumor could be re-
peated year after year and as
lying q one as the Republi-
cans are crying today in
North Carolina without being
stamped as absolutely false
by every person who hears
it. When the Republicans
are told of their extrava-
gance, incompetency and cor
ruption and the figures are
drawn on ther and it is pro.
ven so that no man can
doubt the charge, they cry
to the people the old, old
story that ifyou do not con-
tinue to vote to be robbed
and plundered for the sake of
incompetent office holders,
your vote will he taken from
you,
The only answer necessary
to this charge is that the
Democrats had control of the
Legislature of North Carroll
ma from 1870 to 1S74-24
years-and you cannot find
a man who was ever unjust
ly deprived OF the right to
vote. There is no more dan.
ger of the Democratic party
depriving the white men OF
the right to vote or of put
ting the negro back into slav
cry than there is of the Re-
publicans giving the negroes
that long-talked,of "mule
and forty acres OF land"
So far as the people OF
Burke county are concerned
We can say that they need
fear no such calamity. No
Democratic candidates { o r
the Legislature has ye t
been named in this county,
but whoever they may be we
can safely assert tEat no
such fool thing az depriving
any citizen OF the right to
vote would he attempted 10y
them in the Legislature (they
are certain to be elected) nor
permit any one else to do so
if in their power to prevent
it. There are too manv live
issues in North Carolina and
Burke county to waste time
oyer such foolishness as this
absurd and mendaciOus cry.
One of theseimportantissu
is, Will a majority of white
people continue to be ruled
and governed by a minority
of negroes? North Carolina
has today the only govern
ment in the world with this
state of affairs.
We can safely promise il
this crowd of incompetents
are turned out of office, that
the same economical, educa
tional and honest admins
tration which the Democrat tt
gave for twenty-four years
will he given again and thu
rights of every citizen will bt
preserved inviolable.

dirtiest, filthiest part Of the
town. He tries his cases in
his negro barber shop. a
room about 20x7 feet. This
il where Mrs. Gaskill was to
be tried. The warrant was
put in the hands of a negro
constable, Stanley. He went
to Mrs. Gaskill and read the
warrant. 1t frightened her
out of her wits and she ran
away AMI hid. The consta-
BILE could not find her. Mr..
Gaskill went to the trial in.

Moore, an attorney OF this

of the peace demanded that

roult, whereupon Mr.. Moore
got mp and made a threat
ening speech. saying among
other things, that the white
people OF the town woul,i not

here would be blood shed.
This and nothing else saved
Mrs. Gaskill, an innocent
white woman. from being
dragged into that dirty dive
for trial. She was bound
over to court. The case was
dismissed BY the solicitor
without his ever dra wing up

Some time during the spring
a German, by the name OF
Hahischt, and his wife, came
here to live. They came d.
rect from New York. Mr.,
Habischt began to work for
Mr.. William Calligan, a bar
keeper and a Republican. He
became angry with Habischt
and his wife and tried to drive
them from his saloon. They
live in the saloon building.
Some time in May he went to
Fred Douglas, a negro magis
trate OF the town. and swore
out q peace warrant against
Mrs. Habischt. Stanley, the
negro constable, was sent to
arrest her. He brought her
before Douglass and in short
and disgraceful order she
was bound over to keep the
peace under a bond that she
could rot give. Before she
was hardly aware of it, she
was on the way tojail. There
she was, a poor, innocent wo
men, being escorted to jail
for no cause in the worl1 ! that
she could see, by negr . con
stable. Some white gentle
man met the procession and
! was astonished. He invcsti'
gated the matter, went or
the woman's bond and had
her turned loose.
Every day some white per
son is arrested and trieC
here in this town by negroes
1t seems to be fine fun for thu
constables and magistrates
But this cannot last always
!. The negro is riding too fast
He can't stand prosperity.
