Deafness Cannot be Cured

The Washington Post a few days
ago asserted that the negro of the
South was much less dangerous as a
citizen than the poor whites" The
Post now fortifies it's first assertion by
another assertion that the upper
classes of the South are of the same
opinion" The poor whites is a term
coined by the negro in a~nte-bellum
days, and referred to the non-slave
holding class. and there were few ne
groes who did not heartily believe, and
none who. did not claim. that they were
superior to this class of white people.
And we confess we thought this opin-
ion was entertained only by negroes,
but the Post is a shining, and we be-
lieve, a single exception.-Asheville

HORRIBLE FIND IN HAVANA.
Torture Room in the Spanish Military
Governors Residence Near the

HAVANA, Jan. 5.-The afternoon pa
pers Wednesday sent a thrill through
the city with report that torture
and execution chamber had been found
at the residence of the Spanish mill
tary governor, adjoining the palace
The papers declared that there the
Spanish officials questioned and MUIR
dered political prisoners. According
to their accounts the floor of the cham
Der was covered with dried blood and
its walls were indented with, machete
strokes.
An excited crowd soon gathered out
side the residence which was last occu-
pied by Gen. Parade. The reported
torture chamber is a room about eight
feet square just off the dining room.
AS a matter of fact it was probably
used as pantry. In the wall there is
dirty iron bar, evidently used to
hang meat, and a piece of discolored
rope is suspended from it. It is incon-
ceivable that Gen. Parade practiced
torture next to his dining room.

Central national bank of s.. 600 bv
means Of worthless notes, was arraign-

In addition to the Central national

is alleged to have secured about S25. 600;
the Mechanics and Traders bank, who
estimate their loss through ROthschild

dishonest method from banks in this
city, Cincinnati, Chicago and Cleve-
