of his northern settlement in the pine

Not many years ago there was
nothing at Southern Pines but pines

ATTACKED BY NEGROES
The Whites Return the F1re-The Nes
groes Repulsed-Several Wounded

Birmingham, Ala, March 2S.-Negro
miners made an attack on the camp
of the whites at Dolomite shortly af-
ter midnight. The white men returned
their fire and several of the negroes
been sent to the deputy sheriffs who
are trying to preserve order, and Sher-
iff O'Brien has just left with another
strong posse. Negro soldiers recently
mustered out are melting the blacks.
A race war is threatened.
Latest details show that none of the
negroes were seriously injured. Six
teen of the ring leaders are in the
hands of officers and a strong force of
deputies are ~patrolling the mines.

The new bar association can be or
much benefit to the legal profession
if it is utilized to that end.The best law
yers should be called upon to deliver
thoroughly prepared discussions upon
important questions. Leastwise, that
is the way, as we have observed, that
it is done in other states. Last year
the Georgia Bar Association a a very
able address before them by a mem Der
upon the dangers attending usurpations
by Federal judges. We beg pardon for
presuming to give a hint as an I'm

May-frOm the 10th to the 15th-wlil
be a big month for the surviving Con-
federate veterans who may be so for
tunate as to attend the grand reunion.
Charleston will open her doors wide
and be in gala attire. 1t will be a
time of sympathetic greeting. and re-
joicing. The men of the empty sleeve
or the empty pants-leg, as we'll as the
men who escaped, but men with
whitened boards and showing times
touch in hairsand wrinkled cheeks, will
shake each others hands in friendly
grasp and will fight their battles over
again as they talk of the past, and the
heroic deeds of the Incompatible men
who wore the gray. The Charlotte
Observer felicitously touches the scene
in these words:
charleston is an appropriate place
for the retelling of the rousing Con-
federate campfire tales The Con-
federate veteran will feel at home in
this city by the sea, for the lombard
ment of Fort Sumter was the fire bell
in the night hat thrilled the Puritans
and the Cavaliers into that f~our-year
clash Of arms-the memory of which
is responsible for these annual reun-
ions of the fa~st-thinning line of the
men who wore the gray. Fort Sumter
led on to the fame of the northern
Lincoln n he southern Lee. OF this
the white-haired boys will talk during
these May-days in Charleston. =
The veterans will hobble down Broad
and Meeting streets, and glory in the
multitudinous cheers that greet the
bullet-torn ensigns from Chancellors-
vile and Chickamauga! After the toll
and lust of the parade, the cadets from
the Citadel will pay our on the star
lit Battery to the fair sponsors that
come along with the camps! And best
of all-the city will ring with the mu-
sic Of the voices of Charleston's
daughters"

An old woman, Mrs. Polly Jones, not
quite a centenarian, but more than
ninety-nine, recently died near Mocks-
Vile. She died of painful injuries re-

It was a premature announcement
that ~ex-Judge Whitaker had been ten
dered the postmastership at Scotland
Neck. He has received no animation
of this. 1t is probably newspaper gos-
sip, as is the other umo that he may
succeed District Attorney Bernard.
By the way, Judge Whitaker is some
times misunderstood and -misrepresent-
ed. He has never failed to vote for
democratic candidates, and so far as
we know, has always made democratic
speeches. In the great campaign of
1898, Judge Whitaker was not only ac-
tive in the campaign, but he made the
ong a~nti-negro speeches, if pos
sible, Of any speaker in the canvass.
We did not hear him, but extracts from
what We saw at the time, and a report
from one who knew whereof he affirm
ed, authorized the statement that he
was very decided, very strong in his
positions, and effective withal.

A GREAT QUESTION FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE

One of the most interesting and in
Btructive editorials we have seer lately
Is one In the New York Journal Of
Commerce on "The Problems Of the
Monopolies." Tt is an exceedingly in
forming and well drawn arraignment
of the almighty Trust" and would be
instructive to all men who might read
ii carefully and Understandings. tits
really an important comment upon
present conditions, which are start
lingly serious and abnormal, by a well
known able and generally conservative
commercial organ of long established
reputation. We do not claim for 1t
infallibility, but it is painstaktng, gen.
orally carefully in statements and clear
i'm arugment. AT any rate the editorial
in question Is well worth the attention
of all men who are patriots, love free
dom and would see all men happy and
prosperous. According to the Com
mercial Year Book at the end of Feb
ruary there was 353 combinations or
consolidated corporations, or more IA
military trusts. A year ago the num-
Der was 200. The figures are thus pre-

precisely as to what the editor Of The
Charlotte Presbyterian Standard is
driving at. If we understand it, we
must say We are rather surprised, for
the editor is able. and knows what he
means. He wrote in the last number.

And If the negro is not wanted IN
any Presbyterian church, we hope that
the general assembly will discipline

zation, if necessary, in order to rebuke

prejudice even in the house of God"
