How 1t Struck Barre.

The high wind Of yesterday did
more damage than was at first
thought Of. The trees along the
different streets had some limbs strip
ped from them. The smoke stack on
c. III. Campbell's restaurant was
blown down. The roof of W. Brad
ford's barn on South Main ST., was
torn off and carried about SO feet
away and the house of the travelling
derrick at Mari & Gordon's stone shed
was blown of.
No accidents have been reported as
yet but many narrow escapes from
injury occurred. One lady while
walking down Main st., in the after
noon was almost knocked down by a
limb which blew off a tree at the cor
ner of Keith Avenue.

to the criminal docket. 1t has a ne
gro population of but 22.742 in its some
million and a half or more Of both
races. In 1852 out Of every hundred
then in the city there We're Is arrested.
That is to say n in every 5h was un-
der arrest for violating law. In the
white population but n in IL was ar
rested. An account at hand states:
In 1896 n negro out Of every 2h or
40 out of every hundred was arrested
while out of the whole population only
one out of 16. Thus it appears that for
the "a years while crime more than
doubled among the negroes it decreases
% per cent. among the other popula-
ton. 1t appears from these tables that
crime is seven times as great among
the negroes Of Chicago as among the
whole population"
The criminal statistics OF all the
southern states make a bad showiny
and record for the negroes. The mag
istrates courts, the state courts, the
jails. the penitentiaries swarm with
negro defendants. How can a race
have a good prospect aheai with such
a terrible record of crime and violence?
The whites are not all good 3y q long
shot" But if the crime record &-nong
the whites was as bad as tina of the
negroes no good citizen of any color
could desire to remain in such a sta .e
of lawlessness and danger and crime.
A great duty is before the people. But
how can you stop crimes when the ne
groeS generally are ready to defend
the criminal? Look at the report from

envy of the people. The Sun near the
close of its forceful discussion says
that for a gold democrat, therefore
or, for the matter of that, for any
man Of any political way of thinking
to go bach to the conditions Of 1896 and
propose today to support Mr.. McKin-
ley upon the same ground upon which
he voted for Mr.. Mckinley then is
simply as illogical and irrational as it
is in fact impossible. The same o
ditions do not exist. Mr.. Mckinley
himself is not the same a He is
what events and his own acts during
the past four years have made him.
In 1896 he had no record as president.
Now he must be judged by h record
ha has made. and by the whole of that
record and not by a part. a single fea-
ture OF it."

THE LAST REFUGE OF A CORRUPT
PARTY

Mr.. Bryan is making a most extra
ordinary campaign. It Is no little VIC
torious for he makes supporters and
friends where ever he goes. He has
driven the enemy from n point TO
another, and they have lodged and re-
treated and tried to evade h issue
presented with so much of vigor and
pointedness and effectiveness. They
cannot defend Imperialism, it is so
monstrous and absurd, and they take
refuge in trusts But this is of no avail
Mr.. Bryan shows that in 1896, McKin-
ley himself complained against Cleve-
land, hat he had done nothing against
trusts, and now what do we see. Nc
Kinley is getting within a few months
of the end of his administratiOn-his
term of office-and to this hour neither
he nor his party in the congress has
done any thing against the trusts.
They have had complete control of the
congress and the executive and still
nothing has been done to relieve the
people of the bitter, destructive curse
of the trusts and against which they
~ ID lSSuy anu repeatedly Soiiploih-
ed five a ago. When they are
completely beaten as to Imperialism
and the trusts they next take refuge
in the currency, and swear that silver
is the paramount issue, above all other
issues. Mr.. Bryan is ready for this
last plea of a desperate party, k
up the gauge of battle and shows how
false is the p~lea-shows that the re-
publican party is moving heaven n
earth as far as in it lies-is bending
every resource and every energy and
wealth and the degradation of man
kind. It's last vain show of fight is to
fall back on the %ruinouS rascally, rob-
bling tariff tax, the curse of the world,
Mr.. Bryan thinks it will be beaten here
in it's last ditch as in the other ques-
lions raised. Here is one of his points
made on LIST inst:
"A trust is dangerous to the liberties
of the people when it a to its en-
ployees that fit will shut down until
after election for fear of the result of
the election, yet this mornings paper
tells you that the wire trust is closing
down it's factories and telling the meG
| nothing more can be done until after
election, because people will not send
in orders for fear l Will DE elected.
If you submit to this sort of a system a
| government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people will DE a thing
of the past

EX-SEN ATOR HILLS SPEECH

Ex-senator David B. Hill disappoints
his admirers sometimes by his course.
He is now helping to elect Bryan, and
his power will be felt for good. In his
speech on 1st October in Brooklyn to
a great gathering he gave some Of his
old time eloquence and power of dis
cussion. We give a glance only at his
mastery effort. He says Empire is the
real issue now. He showed the logical
of the recent republican
attitude and doctrine. He gave his
hearers his reason for supporting Bry-
an. He said that las for myself, l pre-
fer a simple government TO a splendid
government; I prefer a Dor country
where freedom and happiness prevail
to a rich country where oppression
and misery abound; 1 prefer a govern
ment with limited powers to a govern
ment whose powers are unrestricted"
We verify believe that there are peo-
pie all over this land, in every city and
state and section, who would just as
soon turn our republic into a mon
archy as to a when hungry, provided
they can make money in so doing or
save their already ill-gotten gains.
The conclusion of the speech of Mr..
Hill is this, and without rhetorical gar
nish or perfervid vociferation and
statement:
William J.. Bryan does not need to
be introduced or described to any
American audience. The people know
him the farmers, the mechanics, the
bankers, the aawyerstall classes Of
the cOmmounity have studied the his
tory of his life and public services. He
has stood the public scrutiny as no
other modern, statesman has done,
and the public are satisfied with what
they have e and seen and are
ready to cast their sufferages for him.
His Integrity is not impugned by his
bitterest enemies; his ability has been
displayed in congress-, in conventions,
On the stump and everywhere where
men contend in debate. His patriot
ism is not of the noisy and ~ostentati-
Gus kind, but he served his country in
the Spanish war with faithfulness at
the head Of his regiment, and it was
no fault of his that he did not win dis
unction i'll the field. If elected-and
his prospects are improving every day
and hour-he will discharge the high
and arduouS duties of chief executive
of the nation to the satisfaction and
honor of the American people"

HOME FOLKS.

Mr.. w. P. Wood, Of Asheboro, pre-
sents his reasons in the Raleigh Post
for supporting Mr.. Carr. He mentions
many of his benevolences including
$780, 900 to the university and some $75,-
900 to Trinity, and gifts to a half dozen
or more schools and colleges. His pri-
vate benefactors are extremely num-
erous about which the people know
nothing. To illustrates: one OF our
best judges told US a fe wyears ago of
this: he received a letter from Col. Carr
inclosing a check for s25. He wrote
that he had received a letter from a
poor woman in the judges own ask
ing for help in her suffering condition.
He asked that the case be inquired into
and if III friend found it worthy to
give the check to her. He did as re-
quired, handed the check and informed
the generous benefactor of what was
done. We have known of many Of his
very generous benefactors in this and
other places.
