VIII Be Properly Rebuked nt the
Polls the I'd OF August.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
The State has rung with the out
rage perpetrated In the case of Regis.
trar Thompson, of Winston. who
was arrested for refusing to register
negroes not entitled to register and
who was held to court by United
States commissioner In a bond OF
81, 600; and yet this is not nearly SO
t1agranta c0se of Federal interference
In State affairs and of arbitrary
action on the part of a United States
official, as that reported in our Ashe
Vile correspondence yesterday Rs
occurring In Jackson county. A
Democratic registrar was arrested
for refusing to register three Indians
and was dragged off to the county
seat for trial, In the face of the pro-
vision of law that such trial should
be before the nearest commissioner
and there were three nearer than
that at Webster. Republican
lawyer hireling appeared for tie
prosecution and there were only two
other lawyers in reach and they were
just hurry Ing off to AshevilIe on
important legal business. One of
these, however, appeared before the
COuIb3 bldO0u UU6 It1Clb huu 6BkeC,
In view of them, that the case bn
! continued until the defendant could
be represented by counsel and get his
witnesses. The "court" denied the
request, saying that the defendant
needed no counsel and no witnesses,
and, while the attorney was still
talking, proceeded to swear the wit
nesses for the prosecution. The
defendant registrar thereupon waived
examination and was bound over to
court In the sum of $4,000.
This is a simple story but 1t is
pregnant with meaning.
This goes the case of Commissioners
| Beckerdite, of Winston, one better.
Here was manifest case of politi-
| cal persecution, and denial of even
the ;Eet:co to ;he had IN ordinary
times at the hands of the average
| United States commissioner.
The people OF North Carolina do
we'll to refrain from giving active ex-
| preston at this time to their resent
ment of such outrages as this, that
at Winston, and those in numerous
other localities, which have been re-
| ported In the press from time to time
within the past two weeks, but they
can be depended upon to resent them
properly at the polls In August.

THE OLD MAN.TRAPPED.
WANTED TO REGISTER HIS
YOUNG SON.
How Registrar Conrad Caught the
Old Negro When he Brought His
Bible to Prove His Boys Age.
John Reynolds' PIea.

That negroes are trying to register,
regardless of their age, there can be no
doubt. One day last week Preston Will
lis, coiored, who lives beyond the
Salem bridge, applied to Registrar j.
F. Conrad, in Salem, and asked to be
registered. The Registrar told Willis
that he would have to get Witness 10
testify regarding his age The boy
went away and returned Thursday
with his father.
I'm what year was your son born?"
asked the Registrar.
SIN 1888, replied the old man, who
assured Mr.. Conrad he was positive
about his sons age.
When told that according to the fig
ures the boy was only II years old the
old negro said: else made a mistake:
it was 1873"
Mr.. Conrad then demanded the old
man to get record of the boys age.
The father said he had Bible ut home
which would tell when his son was
born. He went away and returned to
the Registrars house tha6 evening, ac-
companied by three other negroes.
81 come to straighten matters in re-
gard to my sons age, so he can come
and register tomorrow said the old
man, who had his Bible. When asked
who wrote his sons age, the old me-
gro replied: ga Miss Gunn" The
date in the Bible was 1873, but in
looking over the book, the Registrar
discovered that the Bible was printed
and bought in 1888. The old negro
swOre that his boys name and age
were written in the book a day or two
after he was born.
This convinced Mr.. Conrad that the
old negro had told falsehood and Of
course the boy was refused registra-
ton.
The registrar says he received a
telephone message next morning from
John Reynolds, saying he had known
Levin Willis, father of the boy, for
some time, and that while the old man
got mixed up in regard to the son 8
age, he felt sure the boy was old
enough. The stamp clerk will be re-
quired to make oath before the boy .
name goes on the book.

DIR. S. J. Montague and son re-
turned Thursday from Thomasville.
where they attended the anniversary
exercises of the Orphauage, held on

a large attendance and the exercises

The board of trustees was in session
all day Tuesday and authorized many
valuable improvements in the work OF
the Orphanage. Among other things
the Mills Memorial building, which is
to be an industrial plant for the train
ing of boys, was located. and the gen.
eral manager was instr1cted to pro-
ceed witheat delay ins ghe erection Of
the building. The question of bet
ter water supply was discussed and a
system of water works decided upon
which is becoming pressing need.

There is no doubt of the change in

Butler, the assaults of Holton and
negroes upon Democratic registrars

have only known the good people SO
al oused twice before, in July of 1870
when Tennessee rag a-muffins were
brought In to intimidate the people,
and in 1898 when the negro Manly
perpetrated his Infamous elander
upon the "poor white women" of the
State, for which he was driven into
exile. We all know what the result
was on both these occasions. Now
federal officials with the aid of petty
tools acting as United States COM
missioners to the disgrace of the
government, are attempting to in
timidate registrars and force upon
the registration books ineligible
negroes whose votes are wanted to
offset the votes of honest white citi-
zens. Without the thousands of
Illegal negro votes b olton and Abe
Middleton and their associates Pear
SON and Butler know they have no
chance O. defeating the honest white
men of The State, and it is to prevent
the debauchery of the ballot box by
such illegal voters that the "Sim-
mons Election Law" was enacted,
and intelligent and brave registrars
were appointed.

HOLTON'S BLUNDERS.
Gov. Russell Says Democrats and the
Amendment Will Win.


Amendment Will Win.
The Raleigh News and Observer
quotes Gov. Russell as saying that
the amendment will be adopted by a
large majority. He attributes the
large majority it will receive to the
bungling of Holton whom he styles as
''that d n pigeon-headed little fool. "
The Governor says the arrest OF the
the registrars at Winston was most
egregious blunder. And not only
that, it was fatal to any chance the
Republicans might have had OF carry
ing the State in August or November
either.
Said he: '"The laundering of Hol-
ton and the other Federal officers in
the matter of arresting the registrars
at Winston and in other matters has
made it so that Mckinley cannot pos
sibly carry the State. They have
killed every chance that he had. |
think he would have carried the State
but for Holton's blundering, but he
cannot hope to do so now. And it is
all Holton's work"

What must honest Republicans of
the State, who have been re ing

now that they know these opini&
were bought and paid for by the
boss leaders of negro supremacy In

Holton, Pearson and associates after
discovering this shameful corruption
on their part? 1t shows the wicked

and two or three white men began to

and Rev. Mr.. Hunt, the Fusion candi-
date for the Senate, arose twice and
appealed to the "sagitators,' to be
quiet and hear his opponent, but with
out effect. z /. Walser, Republican
for the Legislature, had to
go out in the crowd and make a de-
mand upon the few white men and me-
groes before quiet was restored.
A Republican from Davidson said
that the conduct was Outrag
and admitted that it only helped the
Democrats. The negroes had threat
ened to take Mr.. Thomas down when
ne arose to speak, and they were to be
assisted by a few white men.
