MY FRIEND.

For The Post
j had a friend once long ago,
A friend very dear,
That in her presence night was day,
The darkest hour her voice could chees.
But in sweet friendships golden prime
sorrow deep and hard to bea.
Fell on my friend, and wonder grew,
She bore the stroke with grace so rare.
Perhaps the human need I said,
To satisfy the human heart.
Is II that buoys my friend above
The waves on which our hopes depart.
Judge not. The stlll and silent voice
Came unto me and said;
go to your friend and talk with her
Sweet memories of her cherished dead
That converse sweet the angels high
In heaven did record,
Since fond confessions. pure communingN
Always liit our souls to God.
And then my friend said unto me:
Once on time | loved the world.
! loved this life and hated death.
Pride In my soul was full unfurled,
But now to me In death there is
No sting, since through its portals lone
The spirit of my precious one,
My loved and lost to God has flown.
l love not death now more than then.
do not care cen now to die,
But better than did before,
love tho life PREPARED on high
But years have sped--a change has come.
Through sorrows darkest vale I've walked
Without the comfort OF my friend,
And yet with her I've sometimes talked
Back TO the world my friend has gone.
Back into giddy fashions world,
Back to It's pomp and heartlcss mirth,
And through the maze my friend is whlrled.
We meet upon the crowded street,
She's even paid her duty call
We meet at church--we meet at friends.
She's not the same though. after all.
There's something gonc-i cant tell what
a something wanting IN her love.
She's not the Same who talked with me
About the life prepared above.
How can It be? And is she changed?
Or has she hid far out Of sight
Those Jewels rarc-od- fashioned gems
That once flashed forth blaze Of iightf
Judge not" the still and silent voice
Comes whispering low at hour of prayer:
when Christ calls back the wanderer home,
Those precious gems your friend will wear .

JUDGE ADAMS INFAMOUS CHARGE.

The Whiteville News this week re-af-
firms its report of the charge made to
the jury by Judge Adams, which was
almost as vile and infamous as the
words used by the negro editor in Viii
mington. 1t says its original report was
literally correct, as the material points
were taken down almost by the time the
sound of the Judges words died away"
1t also says that ''nO one who heard
Judge Adams charge to the grand jury
has made, in good faith, a denial Of
the correctness of our report" 1t also
publishes the following letter from MIR.
j. w. Dickson, at present a member OIL
the Board of Education of Columbus
county:
Lake Waccamaw, n. c., Sept. 5.
Mr.. Editor:-In reply to yours asking
me if / thought you misquoted or mis-
represented the Judge in your report of
what he said in his charge to the grand
jury August 18th, would say this: OF
what he said under the three different
heads-1st enlightenment by guardians,
administrators, ETC.; 2nd, f. and A.; Bird,
rape, seduction, etc.-your report of it
to the best of my recollection is correct.
If it is not verbatim land / think it isl
| it is nearly So and the words you use
make it no stronger than those used by
| the Judge himself. AS TO your criti-
cisms or the construction you put upon
| it. | have nothing to say. Every person
| is at liberty to put their own construc-
| ton upon what they hear or read. have
| long felt that it was every good citizen S
duty to discourage and keep down race
troubles and difficulties as much as posi-
| BILE, but on the other hand / think such
| language as the judge himself used is
| calculated to stir up some of it. And,
Mr.. Editor allow me to add my testi-
mony to that of Mr.. Schulken, that "he
| did give we folks the Devil, and that
| that was what he intended to do there
can be no mistake.

say that night he would not have expect
ed to have heard more from him if he
had been making a political speech, and
that he would be glad if Judge Adams

FUSION ECONOMY.

No Populist platform used to be com
plete with out Il ringing plank denounc
ing Democratic extravaganza" NJ
township meeting could adjourn and gC
home without resolutions condemnina
the Democratic party for "squanderlng
the peoples money" These thunderings
were usually sandwiched between de
nunciation of trusts and few choice
thing that was always essential to pop
ulstic beatitude was a demand that
Estate expenses be reduced to the basis
of 3 cent cotton and 40 cent wheat
On these and other demands the fu.
sionists got control of State affairs
They got both houses of the Legislature
and all State offices. There was then
nothing to prevent the long desired re-
duction being made. Was it done?
Carefully compiled figures, the ac-
curacy of which has not been and can
not be questioned, give the expenses of
the State government under Democratic
rule for the three years of 1892, 1893
and 1894, as $3,572, 201.95.
During the next three years, under
Republican-populist rule, the expenses
were just $3959,95021. The differ
ences in favor of the Democrats was
about $125,000 annually.
Have the prices of agricultural pro-
ducts ranged uniformly higher for the
years under fusion rule than for those
under Democratic rule, that the farm
err should be able to bear this $125,000
Il year additional tax? If the expenses
under the administration of the Demo
cratic party were extravagant, what
shall be said of those under the fusion
regime?
Fusion economy in the State is of the
same brand as fusion rule in the East.
Wherever supernumerary could be
tackled on to the force drawing pay from
the State treasury, he was tackled. In
stead of a rivalry to be first in the
breach of reduction there was a race
to get first to the pie-counter with the
most men. The $125,000 a year in
crease in expenses tells the story. The
promise of economy, like every other
promise of the fusion heelers, wis not
only not redeemed, but the tax gatherer
has been driven to his wits end to sup
ply the funds that the hungry horde
gapes for always.
In fusion economy North Carolina
bought a gold brick-and even the gold
brick has been stolen.

Mr.. Ray repudiates every material state

also to be observed that not one OF

In his speech of acceptance before the

S. Ward hit the truth square in the face
when he said that no man who voted fer
VIM. Jennings Bryan could abuse the
