THIRrY DOLLARS for piano, five
dollars for . billiard table, Twenty
I've dollars for four watches and
clocks, ninety dollars for three horses
and three carriages. five dollars for a
sewing machine, and household goods
to the total amount of $3.50, are the
values placed upon his belongings by
Nr. VIM. J. Bryan in answer to the
tax assessor of Lincoln, Neb. A
casual sxarination of these figures
creates the pleasing impression among
his admirers that Mr.. Bryan is really
ons Of the people and lives most
modestly. A little closer scruting,
however, discloses the unpleasant
fact that Mr.. Bryan has either driven
exceedingly hard bargains in the ac-
quisition of all the necessities and
some of the luxuries Of life and has
used dollars of exceedingly great
purchasing power, or else he has, like
ordinary mortals, simply been telling
the tax assessor good-sized fairy
tale, to avoid contributing to much to
the support of the State. Rocky

JOSIAH TURNER.
An Almost Forgotten and Neglected
Hero TO Whom North Carolina Owes
Everlasting Honor and Gratitude

20. W. Blacknall In News and Observer
never expected to see the day in
which North CAROLINA should need to
be told who Josiah Turner was. But
such is the sad fact as evidenced by
recent utterance of the NeUS and
ObSCrrGr.
North Carolina owes more to Joe
Turner than TO any other man OF the
post-bellum psriod, Zeb Vance not
excepted He was the Patrick Henry
nay, more than the Patrick Henry
of that pregnant period, for to a pen
and tongue that fired the souls of
men against wrong and oppression,
he added the courage OF hero.
When the doors OF Federal prisons
vawned for our manhood; when
Holden, backed by Federal bayonets,
and impelled by Satanic malevolence,
against our truest and best, held the
state in the hollow Of his hand; it
was Joe Turner, and for long time
Joe Turner alone. that bore the brunt
and with matrhless cloquence, in
vective. sarcasm and iron resolution
and courage, beat back the foe and
inspirited his despairlng followers.
For months, between the halter OF
Holden's drum-head court martial
and the bullets of the mob, his life
was not worth moments purchase.
When many, afterwards held in high
honor. were wcak-kneed, he stood
like rock. With his old Colts six
shooter | have seen him standing
alone and unaided put his back to
tree and defy a sea of carpet-bag.
scalawag scoundreldom, and their
negro minions, seeking to take his
life or frighten him into silence.
But his courage and genius rose with
the danger, and lioldenism. the great
est peril that has ever menaced the
State, met its Waterloo.
The war fought and won, white
supremacy established, the old war
rior cast in heroic mould, lacked the
tact and suppleness TO walk the prim-
rose paths of peace. He saw wrong
where perhaps ii did not exist and
attacked those whom probably he
ought not to have attacked, Men
forgot his great service to the State,
and left him to his bitterness.
But more fearless, heroic soul
than Joe Turner'S never animated
mortal clay. If his ways were not
the ways Of other men. so much the
worse in many respects for other
men,
The State owes to him debt it
owes to flW. He was our prime
champion IN the great struggle for
white supremacy. wish that the
present Legislature, created by and
symbolic of this great cause could in
some marked and unique way, show
its honor and respect for this man, but
for whom North Carolina history
could not have been the same and
must have been darker. In a little
while he must, in the course of
nature, pass beyond the borders of
time, and North Carolina will honor
herself in honoring him before he
goes hence
