inches of water fell and it was very

Clinton. June 11.-Richard f. Price.
who has just been sentenced in New
York to a year in Sing Sing, was for
merly resident of this place. The re-
ports from New York say that he was
convicted OF betraying client whom he
was engaged to defend. It is stated that
in New York In October, 1898, George s..
Martin retained him to defend him on q
charge of swindling Martin gave Price
an order to draw $3.50 from the Mer-
camille National Bank, his private ac-
count, for expense. Price drew the
money and then told the district attor-
ney'a Office enough about Martin to
cause him to be convicted and sentenced
to three yearsin Sing Sing. The bar as
ISOLATION took the matter up and se-
cured Prices Indictment. He got bail
and the trial hung fire until last week.
Martin testified against him and Price
was convicted by the jury without leav-
ing their seats. When Price was prac-
sticing law here he is alleged to have
lswindled numerous, persons and at last
was indicted and held to the district
court. He left the state and did not re-
turn for his trial, his relatives paying
some OF the claims and satisfying the
bond. Since then he has lived in New
York. He is a graduate of the State
University and Yale College.

Logan. June 1.-THE peace and quiet
of the ordinary Sunday evening in the
north end Of town was suddenly dis
turbed about 1890 Sunday evening by a
woman's screams, as II badly frightened
or In terrible pain. Investigation re-
vealed the fact that the husband OF the
screaming woman, q. Il. Knowles. had
engaged in a fist fight With Dell Hardy
and had been struck by Hardy with the
butt end OF q revolver and had his jaw
broken and otherwise bruised and
pounded. The trouble arose over Har-
dy's attentions to the sister-in-law of
Knowles. to which objections were made
by IlnoWles, and Hardy was ordered TO
leave the premises. and a fight was the
result Knowles gave Hardy a severe
drubbing before Hardy got hold Of his
weapon, but after that the battle went
the other way, and Knowles is still laid
up. Hardy was arrested and brought
before a Justice of the peace for carry
ing concealed weapons, for which Of
Tense he was fined SIS and costs: then he
was arrested by order Of the mayor and
fined s11 and costs for fighting in the
corporation. Hardy was also. bound
over to the grand jury in bonds OF $500

WAR ITEMS.

Kruger and Reitz say that the repub-
lies will never surrender.
johannesburg will be destroyed by
the Beers, but h British are incredu-
Ilous and rather laugh at the statement.
Time will show where the laugh will
come in. Bloemfontein, the capital of
the Orange Free State, is in the hands
lof Roberts. The British already speak
of its ceasing to exist at all. Conquest
and doom you see. If the conquering
british had succeeded in defeating the
american colonies there would have
never been a great republic, but a
part of the British empire. We would
have had more nobility and ribbons
and titles over here han you could
count in a year.. The Plutocrats would
have been in clover. We would see in
the big dailies Earl Astor and Duke
Vanderbilt and Lord Gould and Wis
count Rockefeller and so on, including
Duke Hanna and Earl Quay and the
lother nabobS too numerous to guess at.
The Beers repulsed the British three
times at Driefontein on last Saturday.
The Beers fought grandly. An account
says of their g%allantry: The burghers
fought like heroes and three times re-
pulsed masses of the British, who kept
relieving their tired men. Every at
tempt to storm was defeated. AT sun
down there were not fifty yards be-
tween u.s." The British suffered
heavily.
General Methune made a rade into
the Orange Free State and captured
Boshof with guns and 70, 900 rounds of
ammunition. The Beers are concen-
trating north of Glencoe. The British
on 14th made IN attack near Aliwai
North, but finally withdrew.
Lord Roberts is now the British hero
and he is receiving great praise for
overwhelming $1,000 men with $50, 600 or
more. But the end is not yet. 1t is no
doubt true that the Beers will fight
more, and that there may be some very
desperate fighting. If we were a
gambler we would bet on the lion kill
ing the mouse. General Methune
thinks highly of the Boer fighting.
The British always fight we'll whether
the cause is good or bad. They are
fighters by nature and that old Morse
blood runs red and strong in them af-
ter twelve centuries. But alas! with
them always might is always right.

ted northern mans opinion based upon
many years OF study of the negro char
|acter and the actual situation in North
carolina At the conclusion OF his ex-
and timely communication Mr..
Stewart says impressively and encour-
lageingly:
"A sore will be healed, unQuestion-
ably a healthy and vigorous growth Of
land development of the material re-
sources OF the state will result, and the
rapid Improvement in all our industrial
conditions will END to attract thou
sands Of energetic n Industrious cit-
Gems from other parts Of the union,
and bring them here to help in the
work OF making North Carolina OF
the most prosperous and wealthy OF
the grand community Of states. Then
the negro will stand on his own merits
and IL he is worthy Of Joining hand in
hand with his white brethren, he will
be entirely welcome to take his part In
the responsibilities Of a free and intelli-
gent government as soon as he is fitted
by the reasonable requirements Of this
proposed amendment to u constitu.
Ition."

PUBLIC HANGINGS.

1t was very natural hat the white
people around the village of Nashville,
In Nash county, should be much stirred
over the murder Of Mr.. Robert Hester.
a prominent farmer near Rocky Mount.
The two negroes were hanged, and il
Is said 10000 people saw the work COM
pIeted. Lynching was talked of in last
December, and the hanging on the 15.a
instant was made public. Is it not
about time that the press had spoken
out about public hangings? Would not
private executions be better? The Mes
senger for a decade has urged a change.
The legislature next winter should
give consideration to this matter and
act If it should conclude that ii was
more conducive to public order and
decency to hang criminals in private.
We remember that more than a half
century ago we saw a fight almost &C.
curing, one man with a drawn knife,
at the Jail door when the prisoner to
be hanged was emerging under guard
and about to advance between the lines
of the military company to take his
seat upon the coffin to ride to his ex-
ecution. We are persuaded it will be
wiser and better to have private
hangings.

There is a new phase of the Goebel
assassination opening up that may lead
to trouble, it is thought. The legisIa-
ture of Kentucky has offered 500, 600
for the apprehension with evidence to
convict of the murderer or murderers
of the democratic governor But,
strange to say, there was never
any inquest held over the body, and it
is urged that this will embarrass the
case if the guilty one should be ar
rested and put on trial. The Macon
(Ga.) News says The fact tina the
coroner was not called by the dead
mans friends. eminent lawyers, many
of them, and presumed to be DESTROYS
of ~avenging the murder, is most sin
GUAR
Will this fact be a bar to punishment
or an ~inseparable difficulty before the
prosecution?

THE HANNA SUBSIDY BILL.

Senator Frye is a Mantle. He is
a republican protectionist. He says
that the United States cannot build
merchant ships as cheaply as Europe
can build them. All! Why so? When
did American hands loose their cum
ming or industry? The stumbling block
he say is the higher wages of Ameri-
can workmen. 1t used to be said that
American accomplished
much more in a day than foreign
cheap abor." The Baltimore sun
says:
ITO bridge over this difference and
secure a profit to Americans who may
establish s~hipyards, it is proposed -
this government pay a subsidy that
will amount in twenty years to approx
imately 5000, DOC, 600. ProtectionistS have
always claimed that because the Amer
lean w~orkingman receives higher
wages in every branch of industry than
the pauper labor of Europe therefore,
the infant industries should be given
the advantage of high duties. Yet it
has been shown time and again that
American manufacturers, with their
highly paid labor, can compete sue
ceSsfully in the markets of the world
with the 'pauper labor of Europe and
even uIOerSell european manufacture
ers."
This contention is true and is being
constantly confirmed and practically
established. AS We showed but the
other day. American manufacturers
compete in all the great countries with
their own home made goods. The truth
is this shipping subsidy scheme is ras-
cally. 1t is as The Messenger has often
said of it, a plan to rob and Cypress
the American tax payers for the bene-
fit of rapacious, scoundrelly American
builders and leaders. The Sun says that
this shipping subsidy scheme will vir-
tually compel the taxpayers of the
United States to pay for the plants of
certain gentlemen as an inducement for
them to engage in what they say is a
profitable business. 1t is a scheme to
loot the treasury of the United States
for the benefit of a few shipbuilders.
and it ought not to be countenanceG
for a moment. The American working
man has demonstrated his ability to
cope successfully with the European
manufacturer in almost every branch
of industry. There is no reason why
he should not be his equal in building
ships as we'll as in making locomotives
and constructing bridges"

MISSIONS.

The missionary work in foreign lands
is taking on far greater dimensions. 1t
has seen it's day of small things. but
after a century of effort it has begun
to assume proportions that are full of
encouragement. The Christian church
is really able to do a vast deal better
than 1T has ever done. 1t ought to
give 800 where it now gives 81 to
convert the world. If what is spent in
useless indulgenceS were given to the
Lords cause the foreign work would
be very greatly multiplied. We learn
from recent reports that there are
nearly 5000 ordained missionaries in
foreign fields, over 1000 laymen and
1000 or 5000 women, a total missionary
force of 1903, reinforced by 64,193 help
ers. There are also 1000 native helpers
ordained as Christian ministers. The
churches doing this work expend but
SIS, 000, 900 yearly. There are among
the living 1921, SCI communicates in
the mission churches. Last year there
were added about $4,000 converts.
Twenty-seven thousand places are oc-
cupied in heather lands as centers for
the radiation of light and It'll About
], 000,O00 pupils are instructed in Chris
tian schools. And yet this is really
but a drop in the bucket-but a small
beginning for the evangelization of
heathendom.

NORTHERN OPINION OF THE
NEGRO.

Mr.. Henry Stewart lives in Frank
lin, N. c., or rather at Highlands. He
has been living in the state for several
years and is a close observer of the
negroes. He has concluded that they
are wholly unfit for political rights
as we learn from a special to the Ra-
leigh News and Observer. and holds
that they have mo more comprehen-
sion of political principles than a bob
tail dog" He says in a column and a
half article favoring the amendment
to the constitution as proposed by the
democrats, hat the negroes drive
away immigration" from the north,
and negro suffrage keeps out desirable
foreign immigration" On the other
hand 1.-The amendment means indus
trial development" He thinks the
south is in need of more people, but
he contends hat they will mot come
so long as there is unrestricted negro
suffrage" Mark you, this is an educa-
