Democrats Dodge the Question.

A bill having been introduced in the
Legislature for the tablishment of
dispensary for Sampson County, the
question came up for consideration by
the Committee on last Thursday.
There was citizens before the commit
tee appearing for and against the
measure. The committee decided
against the establishment of dispen-
sary and to recommend to the Legis-
lature the proposition of the anti-dls-
pensary crowd, that the County Com
missioners order an election for the
purpose of taking q vote on the ques-
ton. That the election be held some
time during the year 1899 and that the
question be decided by majority of
the votes cast. There excuse for TAX
ing this course was that if the majori-
ty of the people of the county are not
in favor of the measure, then the
Democratic Party would be held re-
spOnsible for this inflictiOn upon the
people.
To head off the argument that the
Peoples Party might take advantage
of this situation and use 1t as polit-
ical issue against the Democrats, every
County officer and numerous Popu-
lists signed the petition asking the
Legislature for the establishment of
dispensary as the most practical means
of dealing with the liquor question.
The Democratic Party is for saloons
but does not want to openly say SO
1t is hypocritical about this question
just as it is about the negro racket. Ii
they are for white men only, and dc
not want anything in theirs mixed
why didn't they defer it to q majority
] = 70
This Is a moral question, and ont
which should be acted upon in accord.
nee with the views of the best peopl:
of the county.
This was q time for Democrats tt
put their professions into practice
Instead of that, there has been evi
denced what should be plain to ever.
b0dy-that the average Democrat pol
itician is fraud and q tfavesty upOI
the name of good government.-Th

A Word About Going IN Debt.

The coming of spring and prepar-
alton for another crop is already
being evidenced in town as we'll as
on the Farm. Large shipments of
horses and mules are being brought
here to market every week, and car
loads of guano are arriving daily.
Farmers find it an easy matter to
buy and sign legal papers to secure
payment, which covers everything a
man possesses or expects to make,
but the chances are that on pay day
this fellow would give just anything
in his possession if only he could re-
pent of his folly, if only he could
have learned in time to live within
his income, and to have held fast to
that which wss then his own, but
now was the property of another
-- and in many instances with
no worldly possession Whatever to
give evidence of the consideration
for the passing of his property from
him.
If times are hard We must curtail
our expenses to meet the pinch until
the people learn to vote for their own
interest instead of for the fellows
who are administering the pinching
It is for the interest of every pro
Queer to vote together, and they
must learn to do this before there
will ever be any prosperity for them
Turn around the COW and let the
other fellows do the feeding fol
awhile, while we do some of thu
milking.-The Clinton Caucasian.

The News and Observer says: Two
years ago, the Legislature voted $500,
TO buy q portrait of Vance. 1t was
stated on the floor Of the House that
Mrs. V. ). Lusk would give $500 #
the Legislature would give the other
$500, the portrait being priced III
81 900. With this understa nding the
5000 was appropriated Now, Mrs.
Gerry says that she has only rece we'd
the $500 appropriated by the House,
and she will ask the legislature to
pay her the money she originally
asked for the picture.
We do not want TO believe every
thing we see or hear. II the above be
true, the people of the State have
been laboring under big mistake
and the time has come for the mat
ter to DO settled and settled right

Has His Arm In tho Treasury up to his
Elbow.
The Lenoir Topic, q Democratic
paper IN Western North Carolina,
begins to see with thousands of 9TH
ers, and its editor has the moral
backbone to say what he thinks and
knows. He says:
The officeholding LOBBYIST is get
ting in his work at Raleigh as usual f,
and has his arm in the treasury up to
his elbows. The people must elect
men to the legislature who have lit
tie sympathy for the hard-run tax
payers instead of lavishing it all up
on men drawing big fat salaries. The
$4,000 which has been appropriated
for q textile school is robbing people
lily able for the benefit of those who
are well able to pay for any acquire
ments they may wish. If every fac
tory in the State were not better
textile school than any that is likely
to be set up, there m ght be some ex.
cuse for thus voting away the hard
earnings of the taxpayers.

JUDGE BROWN INDICATED.
Drinking and Drunkenness Considered Z
Sland%r.

Drinking and Drunkenness Considered =
Sland-r.
During the consideration Of Judge
Norwood impeachment for drunk
enness. somehow, in some way, g.
"slanderous report" got circulated
against Judge Brown to the effect
that on a certain occasion, he drank
and was under the influence of intox-
icating liquor. In consequence of
this, Representative White of Dayie,
introduced resolution in the House
to have the charged Investigated.
This was a shock to the mem bers;
and the Democrats jumped on the
resolution with all feet. White, in
the meantime, was severely denoun-
ced in no friendly terms. Strong
talk was had about introducing q
resolution to have White impeached
as q member of the House. The
matter wss somewhat Investigated
before q committee. Some evidence
tended to substantiate the charge
while many of the Judges friends
testified that they saw and were with
the Judge at the time and that he
was not drinking, and that he did
not drink at all. Whites witnesses
did not testify positively; They had
heard the report. Tho Judge;
friends became more and more indig
nant. From tho evidence produced
or some other cause, Mr.. White
withdrew his resolution, and finally
apologized, saying he had been mis-
led. Hence to the delight of all, thu
matter was dropped and the Judg'
vindicated and Mr.. White excused
and the blame put on an outsider
The public was warned not to slandel
a good man by saying he drinks o
gets drunk again; thus making tn
drinking or drunkenness of an off
cial a SANDER in North Carolina.
| How long this will last and hoy
generally it will be considered, re
mains to be seen. If saying q ma
drinks, ISLANDERS him, then if b
drinks, he ISLANDERS himself

The fight as to the relative deserts
of Admirals Sampson and Schley
will probably be renewed in the Sem
ate in executive session this week.
Sometime ago the Senate, by resolu-
ton, called upon the Secretary of
the Navy the funniest reasons why
Sampson, who was ten miles away
when the great battle occurred at
Santiago, showed he promoted to
higher rank than Admiral Schley,
who bore the brunt of the battle
Sampson is..a faverite at the Navy
Department and this is The supposed
reason for the partiality shown him.
Secretary Long, in his report to the
Senate, characterizes the conduct of
Schley as ''reprehensible," but it will
be difficult to convince the country
that Sampson is entitled to greater
honor and credit for the great Naval
victory.
The House Committee on Acous-
tics have recommended change in
the seats of the House, and If the
report is adopted, benches will be
substituted for seats, similar to those
in the House of Commons.
The Senate Committee on Com
merce has reported the River and
Harbor bill which recently passed
the House. The Senate Committee
has tackled on the Nicaraugan Canal
bill as rider, and this may endanger
the passage of a River and Harbor
bill this session.
The Mothers Congress has been in
session here this week.
Owing to the severe blizzard, the
reception by the North Carolina So
ciety had to be postponed.
The Naval Appropriation bill has
passed, and the Senate will complete
the Post-tfice Appropriation bill
early this week.
Senator Jerome Jones, National
Chairman of the Democratic Com
mittee in lengthy interview in the
Washington Post, says that the pros
pect of victory of the silver forces
in 1900 is very bright indeed. He
says that the Chicago platform will
be adopted without modification, AID
that the financial question, trusts
and monopoies will be the leading
] issues.
