POSTAL PACKAGE FOX NEEL1.
Government Authorities Will Seize
Mysterious Parcel at Muncfe.

dispatch from Indianapolis says: There
is a mysterious package in the post once
at Muncie that the government officers here
are trying to get possession of. 1t is ad-
dressed to Charles F. w. Nicely, care OF
Union National Bank, Muncie, and bears
the postmark of San Jose, Costa Rica.
The parcel reached Muncie several days
ago. The government officers are not sure
as TO the contents of the parcel They
think it may contain Cuban postage
stamps, or it may have some of Neely's
money in 1t. Maybe both of these guesses
are wrong, and the package may have moth
ing in it of value to the government. But
an effort to get possession of 1t and learn
what it contains was begun by Assistant
District Attorney Lafoillette. who filed an
affidavit with the clerk of the United States
court giving information of the parcel, and
asked that summons in garnishment be
served on David Cammack, postmaster at
Muncie requiring him to appear and give
what information on the subject he may
possess. The package is unregistered. and
the cover gives no indication of what it
may contain.
Federal Marshal Boyd left tonight for
Muncic to serve the writ on the postmaster.

ADVERSE REPORT.
Commissioners DisapprOve Bill to Ex-
tend Metropolitan Railroad.

tend METROPOLITAN railroad.
An adverse report has been made by the
District Commissioners upon House bill
II ,9O7, providing for an extension of the line
of the Metropolitan Railroad Company The
extension proposed by the bill is along H
street between 9th and 18th, out 18th and
along its proposed extension to its inter-
section with the Blagden's Mill road. and
thence along the latter road to Brightwood
avenue.
Attention is called by the Commissioners
to the fact that 18th street is practically
unopened north of Florida avenue, and that
extensions like those proposed by the bill
could be made with more advantage after
the street is opened than at the present
time. They also state that IT is uncertain
when this portion of nth street will be
opened, and whether The development of
the District will be such as to make this
the most practicable route for such an eX-
tension at that time.
The Washington Traction and Electric
Company, of which the Metropolitan is a
branch, has been lately, at great expense,
say the Commissioners, installing the I'M
derground electric system upon other por-
lions Of its lines, and they do not believe
it advisable to demand of it the require
ments OF the bill

Bill to Regulate Wages.

The following report has been made by
the District Commissioners upon House bill
S4SS, to regulate wages for labor in the Dis
trict of Columbia, which measure proposes
that all labor, whether employed by the
District or by contractors, shall be paid for
at a rate of wages not less than $3.50 per
day:
THE rate required by the bill is now paid
as far as the appropriations made by Con-
gress will permit. There are some cases.

and repairs to county roads, where the ap-

NEW LIBEL LAW NEEDED.

The Texas Press Association, at it's
recent session, roasted the Legisla-
ture because it failed to pass a decent
and modern libel law. They declared
for constant agitation and united ac-
tion''-the course North Carolina edi-
tors should pursue. The report says:
a few months ago scandals grow
ing out of the management of one OF
our penal institutions was the subject
of Legislative investigation, yet not
publisher dared inform the public OF
matters connected Herewith, which
were of public interest and of which
the public should have been in
formed"
In North Carolina, when like con-
dition' existed, the public was in
formed of the investigation by more
than one paper. These papers did
their duty by the public, and did so
in the faith that the people of North
Carolina put fidelity to duty so high
as not to punish it.

gineers, mechanics and all labor unions
OF the State. He is a member of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and
has often represented them in the nation
al assemblages. He is regarded by the
labor forces of the State as their leader,
and he was nominated in response to their
earnest efforts and their request that this
place be awarded to a skilled mechanic.
There were more mechanics as delegates
in this State convention than at any
time in the history of the party. They
were active in supporting Mr.. Lacy's
candidacy and his nomination has been
received with enthusiasm in what may
be called the labor world of North Caro-
lima.
Mr.. Lacy is an honest man, incorrupti-
BILE and upright. With Vance he could
truly say, "These hands are clean" His
experience as bank cashier will stand him
in good stead, and there is no doubt that
he will meet the expectations of his
friends and make an efficient officer
Mr. Lacy was married in June, 1882,
to Miss Mary Burwell, the oldest daugh-
ter of Capt. John B. Burwell and has sew
en- children. He is a member of the
Presbyterian church, an active Mason,
member of the Junior Order American
Mechanics, and President of the State
Sunday School Association.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
THOMAS F. TOON.

Biblical Recorder
In Gen. T. F. Toon, of Robson is
illustrated the advantage and the disad-
vantage of modesty. OF all the names
brought out by the political convention
last week, his was least known; and yet,
of them all, the life behind his name will
bear as close scrutiny as that of the best
of them. Had he been less modest, long
ago his war record and his war claim
to recognition" might have been heralded
abroad. But he sought the quiet paths
of the farm and the school; and now he
comes forward not because he fought
with great honor in the war, but because
Robson county loves and honors him for
the nobility of his character. We learn
ed years ago in what fine esteem his
county men hold him. He is an educator:
he is noble Christian man; he is gifted
with sound sense; he is given to plain
and unpretentious ways; he is in touch
with the rank and file. All the book
companies in the world could not buy
hm-though we do not intimate that they
desire to do anything of the kind. We
are not in the business of nominating
candidates or of advocating them; but
since General Toon is not well known,
we have felt that even his political OPP
ponents will pardon us for speaking
candidIy of his virtues.

NEW CONFESSION OF FAITH.

The sermon of Rev. DR.. Parkhurst
on Easter Sunday, demanding new
Confession of Faith for the Presbyte-
rian Church has created widespread
interest. The Interior, great Pres
byterian newspaper, also advocates a
revision. These advocates do not
stand with DR.. Chas. a. Briggs and
others like him, who doubt the inspi-
ration of the Bible. They believe in
the Word, but do not think the Con-
fession conforms to it, particularly
that portion relating to the damna-
ton of infants. Their advocacy of a
new Confession is devout and ortho-
dox, and not tainted with skepticism
or unbelief.

STORY OF A SLAVE.

To be bound hand and foot for years by
the chains of disease is the worst form
of slavery. George D. Williams, of Man
chester Mich, tells how such slave
was made free. He says: "My wife has
been so helpless for five years that she
could not turn over in bed alone. After
using two bottles of Electric Bitters, she
is wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work" This supreme remedy
for female diseases quickly cures nervous
ness, sleeplessness, melancholy, head
ache, backache, fainting and dizzy spells.
This miracle working medicine is god
send to weak, sickly, rundown people.
Every bottle guaranteed. Only 80 cents.
Sold by all druggists.

PARTY PRIMARIES.


Tarboro Southerner.
Unless the law regulates party primar-
les and provides the poll holders and their
compensation all primaries are liable to
be incomplete and unfair.
1t is not every man who has the time
to give to holding the primaries and as
a rule those who have are not the most
desirable persons to act in this capacity
which involves great trust.
1t is to be hoped that the Legislature
which meets in June will take up these
matters or there may be serious compli-
cations in the primary for United States
Senator ordered by the recent Democratic
convention.

Benjamin Rice Lacy was born in Raj
eigh, June 18th, 1854, and is the young
est son of the late Rev. Drury Lacy, d.
D., LII. d., long the foremost Presbyte-
rian divine of North Carolina.
In 1870 Mr.. Lacy went into the ma
chine shops of the Raleigh and CASTOR
railroad as an apprentice and worked in
the shops until 1876 when he became an
engineer on the road. He ran an engine
on that road for a number of years and
made a reputation as one of the best en-
gineers in the railway service. For sew
eral years he was foreman of the Raleigh
and Castor machine shops. In that posi-
ton he showed capacity Of a high order,
winning the confidence and esteem alike Of
the officers of the road and the employees.
Early in his administration in 1898 Gov
ernor Carr appointed Mr. Lacy Commits
sioner of Labor Statistics which position
he held until the Fusionists turned him
out in 1897. Mr.. Lacy organized in Raj
eigh in that year the Mechanics Dime
Savings Bank with capital of $4,000
of which he was made cashier. AS proof
OF Mr. Lacy's popularity and capacity,
the bank now has deposits aggregating
$4,000, and there are offers OF ll2
for the stock but the stockholders do not
desire to sell it.
Upon the return of the Democrats to
power. Mr.. Lacy was elected to his old
position with some changes, as Com
missioner of Labor and Printing which
he now holds. One of the proofs of his
wise and conservative course is the
fact that in his contest for the State
Treasurership employers and employees
We'd with each other in his support. In
the Legislature of 1897, Mr.. Lacy did
much to secure the passage of the Fellow
Servant Act which is now a law of the
State. His earnest championship of this
measure and insistent efforts to secure its
passage greatly endeared him to the en-,

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN j?

On Friday and Saturday, and per-
haps on Sunday too, Senator Pritch-
ard had long conference with Sena-
tor Butler and DIR. Thompson: Popu-
list leader from North Carolina. At
ter that conference was over, Sena-
tor Plitchard is quoted by the Wash
ington Star as saying:
"The fact that we have Keen un-
able to effect fusion between the Re
publicans and Populists of North
Carolina does not presage Republican
defeat in that State said Senator
Pritchard of North Carolina.
ION the contrary, | feel as sure as
of ANYTHING l ever felt that the cleo
toral vote of North Carolina will be
given to Mr.. Mckinley. 1t will be
a three-cornered fight in our State,
cornered fight and can win again
The Populists and Republicans will
both oppose the constitutional amend
ment proposed by the Democrats to
disfranchise the negro vote, and l be-
lieve we will beat it,
Does this mean that Pritchard has
made some agreement with the Popu-
him ''sure" that ''the electoral ticket
of North Carolina will be given to Nc
Kinley?" 1t certainly means that he
was not impressed that the Populists
office-holders would make an earnest
fight against Mckinley. What does it
mean anyhow?
Senator Pritchard is quoted as say
ing, 1--WE have won before in three
cornered fight" He must have been
misquoted, for the Republicans have
never won in such fight. In 1892
there was three-cornered fight, and
tial is .he only three-cornered fight
that has been seen in North Carolina
unless Pritchard refers to the euber
material contest in 1896, when Maj.
Guthrie was deliberately sold out by
the Populist State Chairman, to get
an Office for himself.
All this ;alll of be 90 'u,,al le to
tIlC't luS'CH 10 nun wv tUlh
The Republican and Populist pie-eat-
ers have effected fusion on the legisla-
tive ticket and county officers, and if
fusion on the State ticket is not yet
perfected. it will be arranged before
the election. The bosses perhaps
think they can fool more people by
pretending TO run separate tickets for
the present, and Withdrawing one
later. But as both parties fuse on To-
cal tickets and against White Suprem-
acy by fighting the amendment, no
body with a thimble full of brains
doubts that the same old fight of 1894,
1896 and 1898 will be attempted in
1900. But there is this difference: in
1898 nearly all the Populists quit that
patty and joined the White Fans par
-. and they will never again join
hands with the Republicans. They
want to get rid of the big ignorant
vote and will avail themselves of their
first chance 10 do SO.
