Refused a Covering.


When the men asked for a quilt or
sheet to cover the girls nakedness they
were refused.
The girl-lNaS- covered with h,-and
had evidently had no care for a long
time. She however, looked SO plead
ingly at Agent Allen that he covered
her with his coat and sent the police
man for a carriage. Mrs. stone was
upstairs and refused TO see the agent.
Agent Allen, not wishing to keep the
poor girl, now In his charge, lying on
the bare floor, lifted her up and
brought her TO the carriage, which had
been brought by the officer, and hur-
ried to the Smith lntirmary, the county
hospital, at New Brighton.
Policeman Allen said last night that
although he had seen the horrible sight,
he could scarcely believe II.
The oor of the closet, he said was OF
stone, and the air so foul and almost 10
asphyxiate him.
"The poor girl was nothing but a
bag of bones" he said. "a mere skele-
ton, covered over with dark wrinkled
skin. black and blue In spots. and I'm
places torn and scratched by her nails"
No one i'm the neighborhood knew
that such a creature existed. No one
had ever heard OF her or seen her. Even
the people who had lived i'm Central
avenue for a dozen years knew absol
utely nothing of the imprisoned girl,
probably bolted I'm the awful hole dur
ing her whole life. without a ray OF
sunshine or a breath of pure air.
II have heard of such things i'm the
Middle Ages. but that such a crime
could be committer at the end OF the
nineteenth century is hard TO believe"
said Allen.
At the dnfirmary DR.. MCGUIRE the
house physician said late last night
that the girl was resting quietly and
would recover. although at present she
was i'm bad shape.
The fIrst Thing absolutely necessary
was to give her "A warm bath. After

TAX THE DOGS:

are such a great source of blessing and
comfort in those sections in which
carniverous dogs are not allowed to
roam and ravage at their willie The
sheep industry deserves richly to be
fostered in North Carolina. There is
no cause but devouring dogs why the
sheep product is not Eve times or ten
times greater than it is. Brave legis
lators could raise 800. 900 from the
dogs by taxation. They prefer to raise
it out of honest hard pushed toilers.
The Franklin Press also hits square
between the eyes in telling why no
such bill stands the ghost of a chance
OF getting on the statute books. Says it:
The Wilmington Messenger wants
the Legislature TO pass q Dog law. Inc
Asheville Citizen seconds the motion.
he legislature will not do any such a
dog goned thing, and we are opposed
TO any bill being introduced. There is
no question of it's being right, and that
it would be of vast benefit to the State
there is no doubt. But we'll be logged

Carolina have ever yet had the back

VERSY.

Rear Admiral W. s. Schley having
been granted permission to answer the
charges made against him in the com
munication recently sent to the Senate,
last week handed to the committee on
naval affairs his statement In which
he disclaims any purpose Of controver-
sy with the laval Department. He
shows that the B :ookIyn CHS flag ship
was the nearest when the enemy came
out Of Santiago harbor, nearest at
every stage Of the battle, and nearest
the Spanish ship Colon when it sur
rendered.
His statement is given in reply to the
criticism of Secretary Long and AID
miral Sampson, in their efforts to Jus
tity the promotion Of Sampson over
Schley, and is an important contrlDu
ton to the large stock of Sam 9son
Schley literature. Sampson, 1t will be
remembered, was many miles away
when the battle with Cervera's ships IN
Santiago harbor occurred. This left
SchIey in command. Yet Secretary
Long of the Navy has been persistent
in this efforts to belittle Schley, and
make it appear that Sampson is the
one and only Santiago hero. Scnley'
however, bore all this and made no
protest until Long spoke of his conduct
as reprehensible. Tnen, he, in a letter
to q Senate, put the matter in the right
light In conclusion he said:
ION Msy 81, 1 received a telegram
from the commander in chief Congrat
ing me upon my C in locating
and blockading the enemy's feet at
Santiago. If it was worthy Of com
mendation at that time, l am at a loss
to understand how it cOuld have grown
into 'reprehensi ole conduct as sug
gested by Admiral Sampson in his let
ter of July 10, 1898. ome six weeks
later"
We roget that this controversy &C
Cured as in all other matters the re
cord made by Secretary L ing and his
department has been exceptionally
fine, and in striking contrast with that
Of Secretary Alger and the Department
Of War. But justice must be done.

WILL SILVER BIZ THE PARA,
MOUNT ISSUE7

Senator James K Jones, Chairman
OF the Democratic National Committee,
is not in accord with Mr.. Croker, of
New York, regarding the paramount
issue In the next Presidential cam
paign. He says:
To say that the next Democratic
National Convention will reaffrm the
the position taken by the convention in
1895 is to assert what every candid
man, eve slightly familiar with exist
ing facts, knows to be true. It is as
Certain as anything human can be that
the question Of bImetAlllsm will bs the
leading issue in the campaign next
year. And it is reasonable to exoecU
that the majority of the people will
next time declare for the parry which
means VIA 1t says and will redeem IIs
pledges, and that they viii not again
be trlcked into casting their votes In
favor or the enemies of the principles
in which they believe"
Mr. jones furthermore scores the
Republicans for failing to make any
effort whatever to promote In.erna
tional agreement" a. to the restoration
OF silver, as they promised IN 1895 they
would do. h says this promise caus
ed many people to vote for them and
that these voters cannot be fooled
