The Evidence Against Him.

This paper has never knowingly
printed falsehood, and when it
stands so charged it proposes to vindi-
cate ITSELF against such imputation.
Last week we printed that at Tillery
on October "a, Nc NJ. Furgersor The
white Republican register of deeds Of
this county, was waited On by white
people and told he could not speak,
and that when he asked permission to
make some corrections about false
statements, the privilege was granted
him but when he got up to speak the
negroes told him he should not speak.
1t was their day. Congressman White
had just spoken to them, and in re-
fuslng to let him speak they were re-
taliating to him for not allowing
White to speak some time ago in a
Republican convention in Halifax.
Furgerson has sent out the following
circular as denial
"Io the Republicans of Halifor
County,
I see in today's COMMONWEALTH
it is reported that I was told by
the white people of Til!ery, I should
not speak there on the 25th inst. ;
that I asked privilege to correct some
false statements made about me and
they granted it, and that the negroes
told me after / got up to make the
statement should not speak. see
substantially the same report in the
Roanoke News copied from Scotland
Neck special to the News d Observer.
There is no truth In the above report.
No one told me I should not speak,
white or black.
I spoke about Is minutes and would
have spoken longer if I had the time.
It was nearly shutdown, speaking had
been in progress since about IL O'Clock.
The colored people urged me to speak
longer and no one asked me to stop"
The editor of The COMMONWEALTH
last Monday read Furgersons denial
to R. L. Berry, the colored man who
ls Republican chairman of that town.
ship, and he said that he himself told
Furgerson he could not SPEAK.
Some reputable white men from
Scotland Neck we're at Tlllery and
heard the whole matter and so re-
ported to this paper.
Finally, here is the statement OF
eight reputable white citizens OF Til
lery:
We, the undersigned, citizens OF
Tillery, do certify that the statement
made in THE COMMONWEALTH as to
McFurgerson not being allowed to
speak in our town on the 24th OF Oct
is absolutely true. He was waited on
by both white and colored and told he
could not speak. He was not on the
stand more than five minutes trying to
make some explanation.

Pleasant Old Towns.

| Last week it was the editors pleas
ure to visit the good old town of Muir.
freesboro. The people were, as usual
very pleasant and considerable. The
West Chowan Association was in ses-
sion and all seemed to enjoy it. 1t il
great body of Christian workers and
its influence is felt far and wide.
The G. B. F. Institute is doing we'll
under the management of that
princely educator, John G. Scarboro,
and Its prospects for usefulness are
brighter than eyer perhaps. We were
just in time Wednesday evening to
miss an entertainment at the Institute
by reason of belated boat.
Editor Hicks, OF the Index, was
quite clever and courteous, and if the
Murfreesboro people find him as pleas
ant as we did, and we know they do,
they are fortunate in having him for
the chronicler of passing events among
them. Hotel Sewell treated us to
most excellent fare, and the proprietor
was quite agreeable.
Capt. Smith, of the steamer Key
stone, treated us cleverly and made
the river trip pleasant.
Withal 1t was pleasant visit we
made to good old Murfreesboro, and
we shall long remember the good peo-
pie we met and mingled With.
A half day in Winton on our re-
turn was pleasant. Politics is the
alI-consuming subject of conversation
there, as here. The people wore their
usual clever and genial smile for The
COMMONWEALTH, which appreciates its
Winton patronage as much as that of
any place in the State.
There are many things we would
have changed in Eastaln Carolina
but say what you will, it is worth while
to live amongst such people. Where
ever you go in this section you find
hospitality and the people
Of Murfreesboro and Winton are in the
front rank in this particular.

An Old Idea.

Every day strengthens the belief Of emil
nent physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the majority of our diseases.
Twenty five years ago this theory was used
as basis for the formula of Browns Iron
Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected
by this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.

that between st. Cloud and Mime.
apolis all the pockets are filed with
logs. The number Of logs Is estf-
mated at about ]O8,0O0,OOO feet.
Aside from these they found that
about 2o,0OO,0OO feet thut will be
turned to tho mills before
the end Of the season will
clean up all tho logs in the river
below Little Falls. The boom CON-
pany will finish sorting the last OF
this week or early next week. and
about a week later nearly all Of the
Minneapolis saw mills will have
ceased to run for the season Of 1893.
It il likely that two or three OF the

Above Little Falls and below Brain
erd the boom company estimates
there are about 80, O0O, 900 feet OF logs.
There are from 10000. O0D to 0,N'0, 900
feet in the river above Brainerd, and
this constitutes a total Of less than
