TRIED TO BURN HIS HOUSE.
An Attempt of Registrar of Craven

(Newbern Journal.)

(NeWDeTn JOuFLdl.)
Thursday night Mr.. r. w. Smith was
awakened from sleep in his home four
miles from Nanceboro by smoke and
discovered that his house had been set
on fire. With the efforts of his son the
flames We're eXtinguished after they had
broken through into one of the rooms
and were fast spreading.
A lot of lightwood was found under
one corner of the house which had been
so placed as to start the fire Eight per

the fire was started just before mid
night a wholesale destruction of life was
narrowly averted.
Mr.. Smith informed a representative
of the Journal yesterday that he did
not know that he had an enemy in the
world and can only account for the act
by an occurrence of a previous Saturday.

attempted to register and We're refused

Signature to Lie Out of the Whole
Cloth and an Infamous SANDER Upon
Goldsboro.
(Goldsboro Argus.)
The following circular bearing the fac
smile of Holton's signature, appeared
in Goldsboro to-day, and is reported as
being broadcast throughout the State:
oliver Dockery, Jr., Cooperative Can
didate for Solicitor in the Fourth Jul
dicial District, Bombards and Captures
Moro Castle.
"Oliver Dockery, Jr., was advertised
to speak at Goldsboro on the night OF
October 25th. The Democratic heelers
notified the Republicans and Populists
that they could not have speaking there:
tina if Dockery speaks he will leave
in a box Dockery arrived in Colds
boro about the hour for speaking and
found that his advertisements had been
torn down and his crowd scattered. He
at once notified them to prepare their
box, that he would speak there on the
night of the 26th, struck off his posters,
continued his canvass and returned to
meet his appointment. He spoke to Il
good crowd without molestation; no box
appeared, and he is still in the land of
the living.
This is a sample of Democratic bull
doing. "A. E. HOLTON,
Chairman Rep. State Elk. COM
Now. why did Chairman Holton wait
from October Goth, to November 3rd to
promulgate the above official" docu-
ment? There can be but one answer
because he knew it was Il lie, Il fabrica-
ton of lies out of the whole cloth.
In fact, the document gives itself the
lie on its face. 1t starts out with saying
that Dockery was threatened with Il
box" and winds up with saying that
mo box appeared"
No, DOckery was not threatened, was
not molested, his posters were not torn
down; he was given the Opera House
to speak in, and he had an auuIence of
his followers composed of eleven ne
groes and five white-skins at the start
and fourteen negroes and five white
SKINS of his followers ut the finish; with
probably thirty Democrats, who stood
respectfully in the wing of the building
while Ollie made his excuses for not
making a speech
The above circular only shows how
hard run the "co-operation gang are
and what an unmitigated liar and Sian
1erer Chairman Holton is.

The Populist County Treasurer, Mr.
Haywood Knight. was asked by the
County Commissioners in the summer to
take money out of the school fund to
pay county expenses until the Commits
sioners could negotiate a loan. He did
so until he found that under the law he
could not use the school fund except to
pay school orders. When Mr.. Knight
thus refused to violate the law in order
to prevent the taxpayers from finding
out that the county treasury was bank
rupt, what happened? The court house
ring resolved to secure the defeat of Mr.
Knight for denomination, and they sue
ceeded in furnishing him for his straight
forward course. Did they get another
farmer? Not much. They got an office
holder, Mr.. Guy V. Barnes, who is now
Public Printer. He wants two offices,
and Knight the farmer, had to be
slaughtered to make another office for

been the subject of much criticism. There

Fusion party in Wake county is on a
par with its record in the State. 1t is
bad and nothing but bad. 1t is not a
competent or efficient county administra-

people of any party.
If honest, it has so muddled affairs
that taxpayers do not know the real
condition of county affairs. They will
never know if they re-elect the court

the true facts is to turn out the present

N. B. Broughton says that he was

out of the election. He made that state

What about Public Education in Wake
under Fusion rule. They elected one me-
gro and two white men on the Board Of
Education, and appointed negroes on the
school committee in every township in
the county except one. After that was
done, Mr.. j. HI. Fleming, white men,
Der of the Board of Education, intro
duced a resolution to the effect that the
white men appointed should have entire
control of the white schools, and the ne
groes should have control Of the negro
schools, and that the negro committeeman
appointed have no voice in the control
of white schools. That resolution was
voted down, and so the negroes have
voice in the control Of white schools in
