THE STATE LEGISLATURE.



The wise, honest and patriotic s
ru)ns have about done their work
the last days, they had scrambl.
to- 10 and not to do what the News

wsuted them to do. They could 70,

How does the Wilson's case strike
youf Is it possible that the Legs
la,ure wanted Democrats appointed
on the Board of County Commission
ers in order to issue 800 900 county
ny the people refuse to do it. This is
one way of thwarting the wishes Of
the people and saddling a tax On them
agalnst their will. This is the result
OF the white mans club.
y Notwithstanding the white % party

amendment and election law to solve
the regro problem in the State, yet,
right here in Raleigh the negroes ar,

folks. And the Christian town never

from getting drunk and doing eth, r

Well, the Wilson's have been "wbi,.

TINS knocked the News and Observer
N of the earth, and the thing has not
been heard of since. 1t has forgot
n now to spell "whitewash". The o.
server to get even with them, should
demand and publish evidence in the
case. From the fight it made not to
II "whltewash,' there must have been
n some good evidence. This was q vic
tory for the railroads. Everybody
admits it. 1t went mighty hard with
the Democrats to relnstate Ohio, but
n they had it to do in order to take care
of j. w. Wilson. Everybody and the
NJ press once said the Governor did
N right, and until the evidence is pub
N lshed, they will continue to think
VI so.
There are many things that have
been done and said in the General
~ Assembly which we have thought
n better to withhold for the present.
" The wise Legislators have caught on
tot few things. They want to 90
home and feel Of the people, and if
N they kick, and kick they will, the
lawmakers can come back again and
undo what they have done. They
are even afraid to let the people
IN have whack at what they have
done. They will change the amend
ment to suit their campaign pledges
