To The Public.

AZ something has been said in one of
the papers and upon the streets about
using convict labor to paint the court
room, | wish in justice to myself to make
plain statement of the facts. Sometime
last year it became necessary to clean
and paint the inside of the court room
and as chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners / endeavored to ascertain
the cost of doing the work and found
that the bids made by certain painters
in the city ranged between s135 and $1s5.
About this time we had in the work.
house of the county two white men who
were represented by Mr.. McMackin to be
good painters / then calculated the
cost of the paint. etc. and found l could
use these convicts and do the work for
about $50 The work was done satisfac-
torily and the county was saved the diff
ference. l am as much opposed to con-
Wet labor being thrown in competition
with honest labor as any one. The con-
yicts have always done the county work
they build the county bridges and county
houses and ! could not see any reason
why they should not do this work upon
the county court room. The men were in
the work house at the expense of the
county, they were not strong enough to
work on the roads and I thought if the
county could save by having the work
done by them it was my duty to SO use
them / have endeavored to the best Of
my judgment and ability to administer
the affairs of the county with an eye
single to the interest of the people. I
have given great part of my time to
county work, and the affairs of the coun-
ty, l am PROUD to say, are in good
shape

SUPREME COURT ovERRULED.

The black-and-tan orators are en-
gagged in going about the State saying
that the Democratic Legislature made
more mistakes than any previous
body, and the only proof they offer
in support of this SANDER is that the
so-called non-partisan Supreme Court
of North Carolina decided that q
number of acts were unconstitutional.
Their mouths will be shut from now
on about these mistakes, for the Fed
eral Supreme Court in the Kentucky
case gave Hoke VS.. Henderson solar
pleXus blow, Chief Justice Fuller de-
claring that 1.-The nature of the re-
lation of public office is. generally
speaking. inconsistent with either a
property of a contract right"
In his dissenting decision in the
case of Theophilus White, Justice
Clark quotes the Supreme Court de-
cision on this point.
Which is right-thc North Carolina
Legislature and the Federal Supreme
Court or the North Carolina Supreme
Court?

Windsor, \. c., May 10Th, 1900.
j. b. Stokes, Esq.
Dear Sir:-You have been informed
correctly. l do intend to vote for the
Constitutional f1lendment. | can
see no reason why /, as citizen Of
North Carolina. desiring the happiness
and prosperity of her people. should
oppose it; but / could give you, if
necessary. many reasons for voting
for its ratification which means much
for Eastern North Carolina.
It's adoption means restored conf
dence in the honest and prudent man
agement of local affairs. increased inn
migration, the influx of capital. more
interest in public education. better
equipped schools, labor dignified. poll
ties purified and eventually the build
ing up of two political parties, imbued
with like patriotic sentiments. and di
complishng the same end; the per-
petuity of pure government and the
happiness and prosperity of her peo-
pie.
AS a Republican who has supported
it's national candidates ever since the
organization of the party, and who
answered promptly Mr.. Lincoln's first
2 call for troops in defence of its prin-
ciples. I feel that in supporting the
proposed amendment | am not only
doing my duty as a citizen, desiring
the welfare of his State, but acting in
a line with the expressed sentiments
of the immortal Lincoln.
Very respectfully.

A Sad Death.

a most distressing accident happen
ed on the afternoon of the 30th, inst.
near Johnston's, to Rev. John Owen, q
brother of Rev. Thomas B. Owen Of
Silver. from the effects ofwhich he died
the same night. The account as tele-
graphed to The State is as follows:
Johnston, Oct. 3l.-The Rev. John
Owen drove out to Mr.. Gamewell NJ.
Smiths to get some rough forage for
his stock. He brought his dog and gun
to kill partridge for a sick friend.
When reaching Mr.. Smiths and find
ing him gone to Edgefeld, he and Mr..
Walter H. Smith, the Youngest son Of
Mr.. Gamewell Smith went out hunting.
In few minutes they got into a drove
of partridges and began shooting. Mr..
Smith was loading his gun in a hurry
and partridge flew over his head.
Smith went to cock his gun. when the
hammer slipped out of his thumb be-
fore it got locked, and the entire load
entered the right side OF the Rev. Mr..
Owen about the vest pocket. Mr.. Owen
stood still for minute, helping Wal
ter pull the wads out, then he fell, beg
ging Walter not to leave him. that he
would be dead before he could return.
However. Mr.. Smith became alarmed
and soon assistance arrived. He was
carried to the residence OF Mr.. Game
well Smith. In short while Drs.
Mobley, Strother and Cox were with
him and after consultation, Drs. Wright
and Moore of Augusta were telegraph
ed for, who came on the midnight train.
The train stopped at Mr.. Smiths place
for them to get Off There is no posi-
BILE chance for his recovery. Though
he is man of powerful will power, his
time is short. He called his wife to his
side during the night, and talked to her
about his business affairs, telling her
ne knew his time was close and never
to think hard of Walter, for it was a
pure accident.
Everything is being done that can be
done by both medical aid and loving
friends.
The accident took place about $40
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Owen
is thought to be dying at this hour, 9 p.
m. All of his family has been tele-
graphed for. The Rev. Mr.. Owen is
pastor of the Johnston Methodist cir
cult. and is devoted man to his family
and work. Everybody extends sympa-
thy to both families.
