The Scarle. Stigma" Is q drama in four
acts by James Edgar Smith. Ii is a book
lei Of eighry-two pages, written by a well
Ilrwn lawyer Of Washington, II c.. II is
both q drama and q tragedy, founded upon
Hswthorne's The Scarlet Letter. In The
form cf a drama, the tragic story is old more
in-pressively than even il the great classic
romance. For its literary elegance tbs
drama deserves the best words of commen-
datiun. while ar the same time il is deeply
searching in all the moral bearings Of the
questions raised. Il unearths hypocrisy and
the shaIlowness OF mems applause. and re-
veals even the sinful and repentaut as
CARRIED in angelic attire. Hester Prvnne.
the woman with the scarlet letter. and Roger
P~vrne called Dr. C~hillinEworth1, the
wrunged husband. are wonderfully inter
egrfns characters. The drama Is told SO
nudestly and the sad truths SO hedged by
the spirit Of right and virtue as ID leave

INFAMOUS ASSAULTS.

The Black-andTan party, realizing
that the people have repudiated them
and their campaign of lying and de-
ception, have grown desperate.
The cowardly attack upon State
Senator Brown, of Columbus, publish
ed yesterday, is followed up today by
the burning of the house of a Demo
crat in Troy, and by an infamous at
tack in Newton upon Registrar Nc
Corkle because he refused to register
a negro without proof that he was
entitled to register Mr.. McCorkle
would have lost his life if he had not
been prepared Tor the desperadoes.
The citizens of Newton held an indig-
nation meeting last night and fitting
ly denounced the attempt to overawe
the registrar who was discharging his
sworn duty.
Butler, Blackburn and other incen-
diary speakers are responsible for the
violent and revolutionary conduct of
their followers. There is no reason
for this lawleSsness and this cowardly
work, except incendiary speeches
by vicious leaders.
The White Supremacy advocates
have made no threats, violated no law,
and attempted no violence. They are
appealing to the reason and Judgment
of the people, and keeping inside the
law. Let them so continue. 1t was
the Radicals in Kentucky who sought
to secure government by assassin7-
ton" The Democrats succeeded hJ
appealing to law and yielding not an
inch of their rights. Let North Caro-
lima Democrats do likewise and the
State will give $4,000 majority for the
amendment if the opposition continues
it's lawless conduct.

BUFFERS IMPORTATIONS.

We have paid little attention to the
so-called Popuiists who have been I'M
ported into the State to help Pritchard
and Butler put the State under negro
rule. 1t was given out early in the
year that Senator Teller, Senator Al
len. Gen. Weaver and men of that
stamp would tour the State against
White Supremacy. But not one OF
trumpets about the great Populist
leaders, who were to come, Butler
finally induced two small potatoes to
speak here . AS to Kelly, of South
Dakota, we know nothing prior to his
coming, having never heard that such
a man existed. He has retailed lot
of Buffers lies in several towns in so
lame and poor a manner as to make
Democratic votes.
And now we are to have Cyclone
Davis, the Republican-Populist of
Texas, who is as good a friend to Mark
Hanna's schemes as Mark could desire.
Webster's Weekly, prints this week an
extract from the Alliance indicator,
copied into the Caucasian, of July 1st,
1897, giving the record of Davis. We
quote:
Il have always been what is now
styled le-of-the-roader," that
is, L have never thought it wise for
our party to combine, cooperate or
fuse with either of the old parties. /
have always felt that the opposition
to the gold and bank power of our
country should unite, but never in
either of the old parties. And IN one
of our last cauc1lses of the former
National committee and other friends
when it was agreed in a spirit of pa
triotism that we would support Henry
NJ. Teller for president, the members
of the committee will remember here
and witness that | then and there an
nounced that / would suffer my body
olisInembered limb by limb before L
would support a Democrat if the Chi
cago convention did not nominate
Teller To this position | steadfastly
clung and still adhere.
Il am largely responsible for the
organization of the opposition to Bry-
ans endorsement at ST. Louis. When
Bryan was nominated and | saw the
interviews of General Weaver, j. r..
Sovereign, ct ais, stating that the
Populist convention at ST. Louis would
likely endorse the Democratic ticket,
/ left Alabama, called in three APP
pointments in that State and pro-
ceeded at once to ST. Louis about six
days before the convention met and
began to wire and write to friends
and workers in all parts of the Union
to support a straight nomination of
our own, urging an organized oppo-
sition."
This is the sort of so-called Populist
that Butler brings into North Carolina
to convince Populists that they ought
to vote for negro rule! Nobody ex-
cept negroes and Republicans will be
influenced by this 'Hannacrat."
