The Case of Alex. Craig-SOme Doubt
as to Whether He is County or City

man, Alex. Craig. is quite sick and is
anxious to have the attention of Il ply
stefan. DIR. Manning. county health of
ficer. has not seen him since yesterday
morning. when he pronounced it Il case
of smallpox The county authorities took
charge of him and yesterday afternoon
Mr. \. -. Markham, chairman of the
board of county commissioners went OUT
and located the tent in which Craig was
to be housed
At an early hour this morning Chair
man Markham and Attorney J. = Man
ming served notice upon Mayor McCown
that unless Craig was removed from the
county property within twelve hours the
county would proceed to haul him back
to town. Superintendent Perry. of the
county home, was kicking like an army
mule and seemed to be laboring under
the hallucination that the county home
was established to give him Il soft snap.
There was a joint meeting of the board
Of aldermen and county commissioners
and it was agreed that Craig should re.
main on the farm for the present at least.
There seems TO be some doubt as yet
whether Craig is Il county or city charge.
He is either one or the other or both. and
if he dies from neglect somebody ought
or viii be held responsible at leas mt the
bar OF public opinion. An old coored
man, who has had the smallpox, has been
employed and is there to nurse him. But
he needs medical attention. and was this
morning frightfully appealing for ply

response to the inquiry if he was going to

CROATANS COMING TO US.
Mr. Bellamy's Speech Captured Them
They Believe in Silver.
Wilmington Starr

Lumberton, y. c., July 11.-Mr. Bel
Iamy's coming was not known previous
to his arrival, but he certainly captured
the Croa tans by his eloquent address.
It is no secret that the greater part OF
the Croatans, who poll about 600 votes
in RObeSon county, are already enlisted
under the banner Of Free Silver De
mocracy. Political clubs have been form
ed in nearly every township, and we may
safely predict that nne-tenths of the
race will vote for Bellamy for Congress.
Most of the Cr0a tans have been Repuoll-
cans, but IL good many Of them have been
lifelong Democrats. Among them is Jim
Dial. who served four years i'll the Con
federate army, in heavy artillery, was
captured at Fort Fisher, and served a
long Imprisonment. Well. Jim WAS in

But | wish to say that it would be
very unfair to gauge the State by such
statistics. seeing that the bulk of our
people are as intelligent. aspiring and
progressive as any in the Union. We
have. unfortunately, a large element OF
illiterate citizens. owing to peculiar con

to remedy this condition Of things, and
believe that in the next few years we
will be able to stand before the country
in n much better light. Before the wan
we paid our school teachers higher aver
age salaries than in some of the New
England States. but since that epoch
lack of means has been the greatest diff
hiculty in the way of affordng enlighten-
menf to the masses.
The genius and energy Of our best
men have hitherto been given to indus
trial development, and how well they
have succeeded is shown in the rapid
strides that have put North Carolina
ahead of her sister States of the South
