CARRIED FRANCES AWAY.

One day, while the father and broth
ers of little Frances were out hunting,
four Indians of the Delaware tribe
came sneaking through the woods to
the Slocum household. Two little boys
were playing on the front steps-twS
shots and down the little fellows fell.
Frances, who was in the garden, ran
screaming into the house and hid un-
der the stairway, her red hair almost
standing on end in terror and her D.
year-old heart beating like mad.
The Indians found her, and were for
killing her then and there. And then
it was that the hair of little Frances
saved her life. The four Indians had
never seen a white woman with red
hair, and they were awed by the un-
usual spectacle.
And so one of the Indians picked up
the child and carried her away on his
back.
For five weeks after the abduction
searching parties were on the go, night
and day, hunting for little Frances. Her
brothers went as far West as Detroit.
making inquiries for the little one, but
not trace of the auburn haired child
could they find. In despair they re-
turned to Wilkes Barre, and the search
was given up.
And after ten years all hope was
given up of ever seeing their sister
alive. They mourned her as dead, and
began a relentless war of extermina-
tion against the Indian. Friendly, or
otherwise, it made no difference to the
Slocum boys-no Indian could come
within a mile of them, and live to tell
the tale.

the public func nctionaries and her great
grandchild, who inherits Frances Slo-
GUMS red hair, will gather around the
grave of the white queen of the
Miami Indians and will dedicate a
monument to her memory.
And so, after the lapse of almost a
century and a quarter, the State OF

of the little Wilkes Barre girl; and on
Thursday next, just fifty-three years

Little Frances Slocum was a child of

Negro Assaults Registrar.

Malcus Smith, registrar for St. Pauls
township, was assaulted Saturday by
a. negro named Allen Mcpherson.
Some two weeks ago Mcpherson had
registered, having taken the prescrib-
ed oath and answered all the ques-
tons. Later it was ascertained that
he had served two terms in the pen
itentiary-one for Is years. and MI.
Smith sent him word not to come TO
the election as he would not be allow
ed to vote because disqualified. Sat
urday Mcpherson and another negro
went to ST. Pauls and demanded an
explanation of Mr.. Smith, which was
given. Mcpherson swore he was 60
ing to vote and was aggressive and in
solent in his demeanor. He claimed
that he had been restored to citizen
ship, but could show no papers, and
demanded that Mr. Smith write to the
Governor for them. Being refused he
advanced threateningly upon Mr..
Smith who drew his pistol and finally
drove both negroes off. This is but "A

LIKE THE PRIMITIVE BAPTIST CHURCH
1t Has Negro Members But Does Not Permit
Them to Vote

Recently ex-senator Elder j. a.
Ashburn, a partisan Republican, has
written letter which the Republic
cans are widely circulating. The Re-
publican elder writes as "a Primitive
Baptist and Elder l.. Fl. Hardy, also
a preacher in the Primitive Baptist
church, and one of its first men, has
written q letter to Webster's Weekly
which contains a statement that is
very pertinent just now. He writes:
Mr.. Editor: While | have not seen
the article, yet | have been informed
that the question was asked of Elder
j. A. Ashburn, of Surry county, as to
how the Primitive Baptists stood on
the amendment and in answer to that
question he wrote an article against
the amendment, as if we all opposed
it. In view of this | want to say that
[ feel sure that ninety per cent of
the Primitive Baptists in North Caro-
lima are in favor of the amendment
and will wive it their heartily approval
at the polls on the 2nd day of August
Perhaps our brother does not know
that that amendment is the very eS-
sence of our own church government.
/ expect that we have more negroes
members i'll our church than any
other denomination of white people
and yet not one of them are allowed
to vote in any of our church business.
The church at the Falls, near Rocky
Mount, under the care of Elder Gold
has about 200 members, about one
half of them being negroes, but not
one of them can vote in that church
Wilson, Aycocks and many other
churches have large negro member
ship, but when the voting is to be
done the negro occupies the same
place in all our church business that
he did before the war.
We old Baptists have truly Demo-
cratic form of government and we
do not allow the negro any voice IN
our meetings. In some instances they
have gone to themselves and have
their own churches and in that case
they do their own voting. We are
perfectly willing for the negro to
have his own government and vote as
he pleases, but we are not willing
that he should vote in our government
nor in any sense to rule over us and
while we have life we will fight against
this negro domination and the party
that fosters it.
Yours truly,

The old North State can always be
expected to show up on the firing line.
1t was from North Carolina that the
first declaration of independence was
hurled at Great Britain. 1t was on
North Carolina soil that the battle Of
Alamanee was fought in 1771, which
was the forerunner of the revolution.
In that fight Robert Thompson,
North Carolinan, was the first man
killed and he was shot by Col. Tyron,
the British governor of the colony. On
June 10th, 1861, the first soldier of the
Southern Confederacy was killed IN
battle. He was North Carolinian.
His name was Henry Wyatt and he
lost his life at Big Bethel, Va. In the
Spanish American war, the first Amer
lean killed was North Carolinian,
Ensign Worth Bagley. Finally, Lieu
tenant Lemley, of North Carolina, was
either the first or second American
officer killed in the Chinese worldwide
war now being waged. 1t is the proud
boast of North Carolinians that she
