SAMPSON WANTS A DISPENsARY
(Clinton Denocrat.l

Since the refusal of the county com
m.ssioners to grant license for the sale
of liquor here, there is considerable talk
of having the Legislature establish a
dispensary for Clinton on the order of
the Fayetteville dispensary. There is
not much opposition to dispensary,
and it would not be difficult to procure
the establishment of one.

the Dome

| was talking last night with a promi-
nent lawyer about the contest between
Jones and White from the Fourteenth
Senatorial district, and he said:
THE contest in that district between
Jones Democrat and White Qusion-
is1. shows how much fraud was COM
mitted in the last election by the Fusion
lists. The Committee on Privileges and
Elections in the Senate recently ordered
n recount to be made of the votes in
Uarnett and Bladen. 1t was done I'M
der the supervision of men selected by
the contestant and contestee and in the
presence of all parties, who desired to
attend. On the face of the returns,
White had in the three counties of the
d strict-Harnett, Sampson and Baden
n majority of % votes. The recount in
Harnett showed 4 gain for Jones of A.
In Baden one Of the ballot boxes was
missing. the other boxes showed a gain
for Jones of > votes.
Besides this Jones has proven that
over so negroes who voted for White
were non-residents, or under 81 years of
age. Besides this, in Ellington town
shin. Harnett county. White had a ma
iority of over 40 and it is proven that
there was wholesale intimidation. The
negroes held a meeting and passed reso-
lutions to lynch any negro who voted fol
a Democrat. This was sworn to by
negroes, who swore they would have
not voted the Democratic ticket but for
this.
This is a brief synopsis of the evil
dence. To contradict it White has Of
fered no evidence whatever, and it would
seem that Jones is unquestionably emit
tied to his seat, and that he was elected
by over hundred majority. The case
will be heard by the committee on next
Wednesday,"

Ruff Henderson and Clarence Call
two leaders of the Republican party in
Wilkes county, are in Raleigh to ask the
Legislature to establish a dispensary for
that county.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1899-01-21

The stockholders and officers of State
banks feel that this Legislature ought
to repeal all laws that impose burdens
upon State banks which do not bear
equally upon national banks. They say
that the present legislation has a ten
dency to make it to the interest of State
banks to become national banks, thing
not to be desired. Speaking of this. one
Of the most successful cashiers of q
State bank in North Carolina said yes
terday: THAT there is in America
finances a strong under-current flowing
from the national Republican source, to-
ward the gold standard, must be admit
ted by the most superficial observer; yet
the Democratic party of North Carol ma
standing upon a silver platform, seems
to be inconsistently and unconsciously
drifting with this tide. Adverse legisla-
ton, or a failure to remedy our present
laws applicable to State banks. must ne
cessarily force them into the national
banking system. And every one thus
driven from State banks adds as many
links to the chain of gold which binds
the Republican party and its trusts and
monopolies. In view Of these facts,
should our Legislature allow to remain
upon our statute books any discriminate
ing laws against her own institutions
such rs the franchise or license tax "a
penalty for loaning money to those of
her citizens who need it?) The earnest
attention of legislators ought to lee call
ed to this and other Unjust and discrimi-
mating legislation"

The Journal is entirely in favor Of re-
tanning the dispensary, and of making
such changes as experience has suggest
ed to be good. SO far as we are con-
cerned. this is a clear conversion on our
part by the merits of the dispansary, for
we did not ut the time of the first ag.-
tation hesitate to oppose it. In
our opinion repeal of the law would
be a step backward. All public con-
troll looks to the curtailment of the traf-
fic, while to put it in the hands of in
dividuals is to put the profit of the
business into the extension thereof
This is why, beside the fact that the
dispensary profits go to the public
schools, that the dispensary is better
than high license, even with stringent
gulations.-Monroe Journal.
The discussion of the bill to provide
more courts. brings out the facts that
some counties have more than they need.
Person has asked to have one term for
that county abolished This week s
Patron and Cleaner along the same line,
says: Northampton is provided with
three terms of court a year of two
weeks each: but we have no recollection
of court being held in this county for
more than four weeks in one year for
quite long time. Our April and Au-
gust terms generally continue for one
week only, often less, and we can very
we'll and proftably spare one week from
each of these to some other county hay

The Northumberland law
was before the House the other day on
proposition to repeal. The bill excep-
ted certain townships-those that had
voted the tax. Among these was Elijay
township in Macon county. The clerk
read it ."Elijah."

Diplomat. In Uniform.

The opening of the international
commercial congress. which will occur
at Philadelphia on October 10, next, dur
ing the progress of the National Ex-
port exposition, promises to be an i'm
posing and spectacular event Be
sides the hundreds OF delegates from

who are expected to fill the monster Au-
ditorium, there viii be the entire diplo-
matte corps from Washington, attired
in their official uniforms, wearing the
gilt sabres of their Office and the deco
rations of their countries.
The action of the diplomatic corps in
accepting the invitation to be present
in their official capacities is most sig
nifcant, and clearly indicative that all
the nations of the world are watching
with the keenest interest the work
ings of the congress. The invitations
were extended through the department.
of state at Washington.

Flags of All Nations.

1t is fitting that at all great indus
trial expositions the flags of various ma
tons should be thrown to the breeze,
and it is particularly fitting, in connec-
ton with the National Export exposi-
ton and international commercial con-
gress, at Philadelphia, that the man
agement of these big enterprises have
invited foreign powers to send their
national standards for a place upon the
ramparts of the magnificent buildings.
Going still further, the exposition
management has invited the great
trade and transportation companies of
this country and abroad to display their
remnants and burgess alongside the
flags of their several governments.
The Spanish ensign, adjoining the
stars and stripes will demonstrate that
the war is overland the German flag
flying beside ''old glory" will indicate,
Notwithstanding hints to the contrary,
that our nation is at peace with the

A Lost Opportunity.

81 never recall little incident that
happened to me five or six years ago
in Chicago that I don't want to hurt
something or somebody" said the man
with the ford face, as we lighted our
cigars. Being asked to state his case he
continued:
II was standing in front of the Palm
er house when man came along and
said he was hard up and offered to sell
me $500 diamond ring for 500. hung
off, and he put the price down and
down till he finally reached $40. Then
I sort o got scarf O. him and walked
off,
But that is an old trick laughed
the drummer. You dom magine that
was real diamond ring, do you?"
'sOf course not"
''Then you'd have been Sold"
Not much / wouldn't! When 1 got
home they were raising 5000 to buy a
diamond ring for one of our citizens as
a testimonial. and I could have turned
that in and made S160 as easy as rolling
off log! You bet your boots I'll keep
my eyes open for bargains when I go
to Chicago againi"

"Egad, sab, but I must write that

clipping which spoke highly of him

found what he was wishing for at his
elbow, and after critically examining
the two straws and making choice of
the longest, ne settled himself back and
said:
when I began my political career
the press did not take kindly to me. 1
had come back from the wah to make
a place for myself, and the stay-at-
homes resented what they called my
impertinence. The press was con-
trolled by the stay-at-homes, and at
the first mention of my name there was
a howl of derision and defiance all along
the line. Egad, sab, but some of 'em
went so far as to say that 1 was made

army mewl! / was called crank and
a pretender, and kindly adviced to con-
fine my ambition to the mayoralty of a
village. 1t was the freedom of the
press, sah-the boosted freedom of the
press-but they did not know their
man. Kurnel Bunker, who broke the
lines at Chantilly and wanted to turn
Little Round Top at Gettysburg, was
not the man to rest under the asper-
sions cast upon his character in civil
life. L gave them rein for a few weeks

HE SUPPLIED A WANT.

There isn't any doubt that I've got
the best washing machine on the face
of the EARTH" said the patent-right
man with great complacency, as he
leaned back in his chair and jingled the
silver in his pocket. 1T does the work
in half the time-saves half the soap
any child can run it, and so forth and
SO forth Every respectable family
ought to have one, and the price is a
mere nothing"
But the trouble is to make the peo-
pie believe in it," said the man with
the orange-colored whiskers.
That's it, of course; but I'm not
kicking. 1 was up in Connecticut for a
month last summer, and though | did
not sell single machine, L was $3.50
to the good when folded my wings. 1t
was all because 1 understood what the
people wanted"
'They didn't want your washing
machine, it appears?"
Not any. / never worked harder in
my life to make sale, but it was no go.
/ gave two public exhibitions, and then
took the machines from house to house,
but while everybody admitted that it
was good thing, no one was willing to
give the 1nou L gave
them what they did want. 1 ran down
to New York and bought "a gold-plated
watches and a pint or so of bogus dia-
mond rings and pins, and the very first
sale / made was to the mayor of the
town. The folks just jumped over each
other to get at me, and the proft-gee-
Whit 1 had talked for three weeks to
sell machine, but it was no go. In
four days 1 unloaded all that bogus
jewelry on the same people. and they
felt so tickled over their bargains that
the brass band serenaded me and a
score of prominent men were down at
the depot to see me off,"
Patent rights are all right" con-
tinued the man, as he carefully re-
moved the tin foil from a cigar, but
if the public doesn't want a washing
machine, a windmill or a burgler
alarm, then give 'em what they do
want. You can always hit 'em if you
study to do so, and by hitting 'em you
can indulge in this brand-two for
doliari"
