1t is said to be a fact that one
fourth Of the regular United States
army is composed of foreign born men
In the navy the foreign element is
SO per cent. of seamen. So much of the
excellent fighting is lone by faithful,
brave men born outside. OF the men
lost on the Marion 40 per cent. were
foreign.
The United States exceed Germany
in population by %, 200, 900. Emperor
William should take note. This coun-
ry is not France.
In 1890 there were 1000, 900 women
and $4,000, 900 men engaged in this
country in gainful pursuits. In 1860,
there were but 10, 900, 900 workers in
all, and of these but 500, 900 were wo-
men. A great change. Women are In
the labor problem with strong
array. Thy bring down wages and
give the men a harder time, and many
are very lazy and general oafers.

THE WAY TO VICTOR

For twenty years the custom or
plan in North Carolina on the part
of the democrats has been to save the
state in each election by speech-mak-
ing and general pow-wowing. There
are very true and intelligent demo-
Gratis who have aforetime said to us
that they doubted if any democratic
candidate had been elected governor
since Vance was elected. That proba-
bly, over-states the loss, and gives too
much credit to cheating. But it is well
known to all men except the would-be
leaders, that the fife playing and horn
Hooting and brass bands and beating
of drums and tom-toms, and torch
light parades and so on are all some
thing of a failure, and no substitutes

The populist Of the sixth district
have either become gold bugs" or
they consider it more important 70
carry an election than to. maintain
any show OF consistency. Another
queer thing about the doings of the
populists down in the sixth is. that
DR.. Norment, the representative of the
Russell faction, which has been sup
posed to be on good terms with the
populists, bolted the republican con-
vention and came out as an independ-
ent candidate, yet he did not get a
vote in the populist convention.-New-
ton Enterprise.
That there was no question of prin-
ciple, but only by policy, in the popu-
list proposition to cooperate with the
democratic party this year is evident
from the rate at which fusion between
populists and republicans is being
consummated- The populists of the
sixth district have nominated a re-
publican for congress who was pre-
viously nominated by the republicans
on a platform endorsing Mckinley and
Russell. In the seventh district they
turned down their representative
who had been previously elected twice
in succession, to make place for a can
didate who had the approval of the
republican machine managers of the
district-Raleigh Post.
There are evidences Of growth and
prosperity on every hand in North
Carolina Probably one of the clear
est evidences to those of the state, is
the increasing number of educational
institutions, the greater average per-
centage of attendance, and the inter
est manifested in the cause of educa-
ton in the state. University
is educating more of the masses of
the people of the Old North State than
yer before; the Baptists will soon
have finished their new university for
women at Raleigh and the State Nor
NAL and Industrial college is not be-
hind in it's noble work Of educating
the girls of the state, many of whom
like the boys, are struggling UP out Of
ignorance and poverty and islation.
A careful examination of
facts, however, would show that there
is a larger number of colleges and
preparatory schools in North Carolina
to the population than any other state
in the south, and, as a general rule,
these institutions are literally patI
ronized. 1t is the public schools that
we need to thoroughly overhaul and
improve.-SanfOrd Express.

for rigid, intelligent, thorough organ
ization in townships. The old Jarvis
plan is worth all this empty sounding
way OF beating up recruits. Buffers
house-to-house visiting is worth all
the campaign heroics and jawbations
that can be held in a lustrum. The
democrats do not know it's efficiency
and completeness because they have
never tried it. We believe there is but
one way to carry North Carolina
against the "nigs," their motley allies
and the Butler gang Of populist trad
ers. It is by organizing in every town
ship in every county in North Caro-
lima
We believe that with plenty of
work and money and zeal and heart
that North Carolina can be redeem
ed this year.
1t is the stay Always that have
given over the dear old state into the
hands of niggers and white trash"
plotters, schemers, traders and grab
bers.
In 1896 Mckinley received in North
Carolina 1922; Bryan liza, 488, Pal
mer 578, lowering 635-total vote poll
ed was 33O,953. We look in vain for a
book we have used with the numbers
of electors in North Carolina in 1890,
according to last census. That will
show the number of stay-aways, the
class to be brought out. Making an
allowance for increase in eight years
ulation there are not less than 10000,
we feel quite sure, who do not vote
in North Carolina. So soon as we Sc
cure the number of white and black
electors in 1890, according to the CEN
sus, we will give it.
1t is very sure hat if the democrats
rely this year upon canvassing and
organizing by "picnics" the end will
be a very much of "a picnic" for the
combine. Campaigning by picnicking
is a very grand and toothsome idea!
1t is a splendid invention for the en-
envy. Go to work actively, r~esolvedly,
in an intelligent, practical, business
like, common-sense way and organize
all the townships. "Picnicking' will
not do it any more han speech-mak-
ing and will carry North Carolina.

THE CRIME AND THE REMEDY

The Messenger yea by year has
sincerely deplored the great preva-
lence of crime in the south, and par
ticulaTly among the negroes. It has
deeply regretted the many lynchings
that have occurred through the years
and it has sorrowed over the causes
Of the lynchings. The insufficiency of
the courts, the desperation and saw
agery of the brutes who assault white
growth of the most Internal crime
were all condemned, and it was felt
that 1ynchings would never cease un-
til the black devils were all hanged
Or their brutalities ended. Every week
almost some white woman of charac-
ter is most cruelty, inhumanly as
saulted by some roaming beast,
and frequently an incensed peO-
pie become a law unto them
selves and stamp out the viii
lain and marauder as they would
stamp out pestilence and ire. Last
week, in Virginia, a negro was lynch
ed for a most Internal crime. The
white men avenged the deed. The re-
ligious papers, the pulpit, the press
generally may denOunce lynch law
and call it mob law, and the reign of
violence and what not; they may call
for more stringent legislation to sup
press hangings by mobs, and brand
all as half-civilized who do not cry
out against lynchings for rapes, but
until the villains cease their damning
and cruel and awful work the life of
the rascals will not be safe if they are
caught. The ably edited Norfolk Vir-
ginian-PilOt has a vigorous editorial
on "Lynching is It's Law and JUS
tice." 1t has much that will be read
with satisfaction by tens Of thou
| sands of the best people in the south.
They know the nature and preva-
lence of the crime and the need of a
prompt, terrible remedy with which
to meet it. We quote from our Nor
folk contemporary:
Should a r~attlesnake, or a mad
dog, be tried before killing? Should a
murderer, incendiary, or highway
man, caught in the act, be allowed to
complete it and to appeal to all the
delays and chances of law? If you,
or your people, or our property, be
feloniously attacked, will you await
the laws, or will you act at once in
self-defense? If a mad man be on the
streets, marauding and Staying all he
meets, must we take out a warrant for
him, arrest and try him, before we
disable him and stop his wild career?
THE negro who has just been
lynched at Charlottesville was far
worse than any rattlesnake or mad
dog, far worse than any mad man or
criminal and by his nature and course
had outlawed himself utterly. To
recognize in him any right to the pro-
tections and processes of law would
be to mitigate his offence, aggravate
the outrage upon the lady, and to add
to the shame and horror already in
ficted upon her.
NJ decent white man, endowed
with reason and the proper respect
of manhood, should or could restrain
himself in the presence of so foul a
crime. 1t would disgrace justice and
defile the courts to treat him as an
innocent man"

HOME FOLKS

Russell called the negroes ~"savages,''
and he holds to that brand. Harry
Skinner said in Pitt county in 1896,
that the negro is not fit to hold office
Of course not, but Skinner is trying
hard to hold office by and through
Sambo. Sambo is ready to help and
forgive. They have kissed and made
up. In Beaufort county the negroes
are reported as something sick of Har-
ry as a boss. In the late negro conven-
ton more of the black bosses were not
present says the Washington Messen-
and blowing for independence. We
think it probable that the big talk will
end in vapor. Even white republicans
were absent. A negro tells the Wash
ington Messenger that this means that
the negro has got his fill of fusion,
and Harry Skinner in particular, and
he no longer is to be herded like dumb
driven cattle, and now proposes to run
his own boat, and to sink or SWIM
In Wilmington the motieys and blacks
are thick as twins and as loving
As maidenhood. The blacks get a
fuf1 share, and the few motleys who

happy and united and snooze nightly

truckle-beds "happy as lords" This is

The resolutions adopted by the little
and big "nigs" in New Hanover, under

marvellous to behold. Think of any

gize Russell, the played out. The Ra-
leigh Post notes:
LAS we understand it, a colored citi-
zen whom the governor fired out of his
office a little more thar a year ago,
was an active partisan of His Excel
lency in the convention that adopted
the resolutions quoted. But the negro
does not mind a small matter ike that
any more than he does being called a

John Burton, Writ ChenOwith ana
'Doc'' Snyder Pass Away as the Re
suit Of Drunken Debauch.

John Burton, Writ Chenowith
and doc" Snyder are dead as the
result of drunken revelry at Glen
vile, beginning with Tuesday of
last week. They began drinking
whiskey, but the supply ran out,
and the deficiency was made good
by the use of some questionable
substitutes.
On Wednesday Burton died, and
on Thursday Chenowith passed
away also. Snyder continued drink
ing until Monday when he, too,
succumbed to the liquid demon.
Reports differ as to what charac-
ter of liquor was substituted for the
whiskey. 1t was at first stated that
it was Hot Drops, but this morning
we have the information from a re-
liable source that an investigation
made by Prosecuting Attorney Ben
nett convinced him that extract of
lemon did the work.
SNYDER is reported as saying as a
crowd returned from Burton's fun
eral that he (Snyder) had drung IS
bottles of the stuff, that it hadn't
killed him, that he had drunk it for
years and would continue to do so.
1t is needless to say that the COM
munity is greatly agitated owe: the
matter.

Now upon what principle can we go
