Pritchard seeks to UP the tracks
Of the black radical party in North
Carolina. He would pervert history.
His gang filled the negro counties with
black officials. The records show how
many counties were cursed with negro
rule. 1t is a blistering shame and an
|eternal reproach to all whites who
lent a helping hand TO this disgrace and
mischief. This very county was one

were on top here with its Sc negroes

forty 'squires dispensing law in their

and a close student Of historic memoir

We copy the following:
The fact is that the people of North
carolina W voted directly upon the
Question of secession, as such. at all.
In February, 1867, the question of con
lvention' or no convention was sub
United to the popular vote, delegates
to a convention being voted for at the
same time, to take their seats in case
those ~favoring a convention prevailed.
THE convention was defeated, rot by a
majority of 10000, or by any thou
sands, but by rather less than 200 votes,
as a reference to the official returns
will show. This small majority would
been increased to about 500 by the
vote of Davie county which was not
received"
He adds, which completes the record:
This was the only vote of the people
on the subject, unless that can be So
considered by which they aft :rwards
elected delegates to the convention tina Z
met on May 20, 1861, and by unani-
nous vote withdrew the state from the
union. The ordinance of this conven-
ton, withdrawing the state, was not

1t is no wonder that the great Ma
poleon held all history to be but "a
fable"

President Alderman favOrs a change
doubtless a wise, salutary change
in Tulane university. 1t is to adopt the
dormintory system. We suppose the
nearly 1000 students board round the
city now. 1t is stated that d set Of
buildings for the purpose such as are
now in use at the University Of Penn
syIvania is preferred. The University
of North Carolina has always had that
system, we think.

If Governor Russell should do, as
refuse to support h ticket
of the republicans, and If he would in
addition vote for the amendment. he
would do a very proper thing under
the circumstances. At bottom no man
in North Carolina better understands
the valuelessness Of the negroes as
electors to help develop and make
great North Carolina.

Against Long.

The following significant associated
press dispatch ought to encourage the
fusiOnists who think there is no hone
OF electing fusion congressman. 1t
is generally understood that the al
lied creamery forces are working for
Duval. This is of special interest to
our farmers:
James A. Harris, of Lincoln, Neb. ;,
representing the Allied Creamery in
terests of the western states, came to
Topeka today, after a very interesting
round up with Chester /. Long, the re-
publican congressman from the sew
enth district, who is standing for a re.
election. He says the creamery inter-
ests will fight Long to q finish and he
IL confident that sufficient pressure
will be brought to bear to accomplish
his defeat. Two years ago Mr.. Long
promised the creamery people that if
he was elected to Congress he would
vote for and work in behalf of the an
ti-OleOmargarine bill. On this assur-
ance the creameries threw their influ-
ence to Long and he was elected. When
the oleo bill came up Mr.. Long began
to trim. Although trying to deceive
the creamery men he neither worked
for the law or voted for it. This year
Mr.. Harris was assigned to talk to
Long about it. He went to Medicine
Lodge for the purpose, but found the
republican congressman non-cOmmit-
al. "Wait until December and I'u
talk to yOu,' ne said. The election
will be over in December and the plan
was not to Mr.. Harris liking. Find
ing that Long would give no satisfac-
tion he told him that the creameries
would enter the campaign for the ex-
press pursose of doing him up. The
creameries directly and indirectly
have 5000 constituents in the seventh
district and the weight of this influ-
ence Mr.. Harris avows will be turned
against MIR. Long. 1t was for him in
1898 when Long defeated Jerry Sinp-
son by less than 1,SOO.

commissie ner and Dist.

In the write up of the candid ates
lrst week the reader who does not
know John Woods might think he was
q very small man, and the commits.
sioner's Office, for which he has been
nominated q very unimportant one.
But the fact is MIR. Woods is not
small; he is well-healthy looking
enough to be jolly, and the commits
sioner's Office is one of the most i'm.
pOrtant in the country.
So in order that the voters of Ed
wards county may know exactly all
the nice things the Graphic intended
to say about Mr.. Woods we reprint
the article, part of which, owing to a
mistake of the compositOr's IS, was omit
ted from last weeks issue.
COMMISSIONERS 2ND DISTRICT.
The nominee for county commission
er in the End district is John Woods,
who was born in Ohio and came to
Kansas in 1888, so that he is we'll
known here as he has lived in Ed
waads County ever since coming to
this state.
He has been one of our stalwart
farmers and no one is better fttel to
care for the business interests of the
county than Mr.. Woods. He has
helped to make the county what it is,
and knows what it means to develop
things in the West; as a citizen and
Taxpayer, is thoroughly interested in
the welfare of the county.
He is an honest. clear headed busi-
ness man and man of great intelli-
igence. If entrusted with the Office OF
commissioner he will give it the same
honest, efficient attention that he
would give to his own business, and
that is saying a great deal.

Mr.. Isaac Sprigg, of Belpre, left at
the Office recently a copy of the Chica-
60 American of September 4th, con.
tanning an account of the snub given
Theodore Roosevelt at the recent La
bor Day celebration in Chicago We
reprint part of the article which will
account for the kissing at Electric
Park when the spectacular Teddy ap-
peared. At the same time Bryan, who
appeared with him, was given q tre-
mendous ovation.
The article is rs follows:
Soon after the fierce labor strikes
of 1894 were crushed by military force
Theodore Roosevelt and Colonel
Turner we're speakers at mass meet
ing held at the Auditorium.
During his speech, which was pug
nacious from beginning to end, Roose-
velt is credited with uttering these
cruel words:
"Any man who engages in a strike
or any man who goes where a strike
is on should be shot,
When Theodore Roosevelt uttered
the words quoted above he smote the
heart of every wOrkingman in Chica-
go and in the country.
A man who tolls for his living and
that of his family is quite apt to re-
member an insult such as Theodore
Roosevelt uttered from the steps of
Auditorium. 1t is not wiped out in a
moment nor in the lapse of years. 1t
is now six years since Roosevelt
stabbed the breast of workingmen
with his cruel iavectives. But the
thousands of to1lers who marched
through the streets of Chicago yester-
day had not forgotten his unprovoked
assault at the Auditorium. That is
why the republican candidate for Vice
President was the figure around which
a whirlwind of indignation swept in
Electric Park.
The speech which may prove the un-
doing of the republican national tick
ct WAS delivered soon after the SAN
culinary riot in the stock yards.

mems fund, which McNal claimed to
have turned over to Mr.. Church be-
fore going out of Office. 'sMcNall, ="
says Mr.. Church, s'did not turn over
his check for any part of the relief
fund of 1899, and If he had given his
check on the Central National bank
for part Of this fund, it would have
been utterly worthless for various
reasons, one of which is that not one
cent of this &c, 240. 81 was ever in the
Central NatiOnAl bank. Another very
fair reason why McNall's check would
not have been good for the purpose
mentioned, is that he did not collect q
dime Of this fund and of course it
could not become subject to his order.
Every dollar Of this money was col
lected subsequent to February, 1899,
nearly year after McNall was out of
Office. This latter fact will explain
why he did not collect it.'' Note his
plain statement that not q dollar was
ever in the bank mentioned.
We don't know whether he took our
brave old insurance Commissioners for
a fool, or q bad business man.
Whichever way Church, mental proc
esses worked they worked wrong, for
McNau turned over to the Topeka
Journal the original checks for the
money drawn on the Central National
Bank and signed by McNall.' Not
only that, but with Church's receipt
on the back. Here it is.
