COUNTY CONNECTS ESCAPE.

Daily Argus, Tuesday.
Seven Prisoners Escaped From the Ere
mont Guard House Last Night.
The county convicts who were
at work on the Fremont section
of the county road under various
sentences imposed at the recent
term of the court, were housed in
the Fremont guard house last
night for safe keeping until this
morning, but the guard house
proved Insufficient to contain
them and this morning when the
guards went for the conviets they
were missing and the guard house
completely wrecked. They made
their escape during the night.
There we're seven altogether who
escaped. Their names are as fols
lows: Jim Moore, Pres. Moore,
Will Manuel, Bud Williams, John
Butler, Jim Adams and Ezekiel
Rouse.
There were two others who did
not care to leave, Geo. Wellons
and Jim Osborne, and who re-
NAMED by the wreck until this
morning when the guards came
and took charge.
Mr.. Jesse Grautham had charge
of the convicts and had Mr.. lvey
Jones to help guard them. Mr..
Grantbam turned the prisoners
over to the Mayor and chief Of
| police of Fremont for safe keep
ing until this morning. The towr
prison was a wooden structure
and the large crowd of ~convicts
had an easy time gaining their
freedom. The town of Fremont
will have no place to keep it's owl
| prisoners until a new structure il
built, as the building was COM
pletely demolished.

The Franchise.
Richmond Times,

Richmond Times.
The discussion ia the United
States Senate between Mr.. Pritch-
ard, of North Carolina, and Mr.
McEnery, of Louisiana, on the
subject Of negro franchise was
one Of the most interesting that
has taken place in that body. Mr..
e1cEnery was right in saying that
negro franchise had been re-
sponsible for most of the political
trouble in the South since the war,
and that it was necessary for the
peace and order of the Southern
States, as we'll as to the benefit of
both races, that the suffrage should
be restricted so as TO exclude the
vicious, ignorant negro.
Almost every Southern State
has had its period of negro rule.
and by negro rule we mean the
rule of that party which depended
on the negro vote for its support.
Whenever such party has for the
time being been in the ascendency,
the State which was thus afflicted
was in a condition of revolution.
The negro party was proverbially
corrupt, and necessarily so, for it's
strength was composed of igno-
rant negroes, while the Offices were
filled by designing whites and
Icorrupt blacks. 1t was simply inn
possible that the white men of the
| South, who owned property,
would submit to any such condi-
ton. When all other measures
failed they resorted to the sssacred
right of Instruction" The men
who took up arms to defend their
rights against the Northern forces,
and who made sacrifices such as
were rarely witnessed in the bis
tory of the world, could not and
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1900-02-01

would not submit to the DONNA
ton of such a mongrel party. More
than that, when the negro party
was in power the negro became
insolent and offensive, aud intol-
cradle, with the result that there
were continual conflicts between
individual whites and blacks,
which almost invariably led to a
general conflict between the races
in this community OF that. In all
such conflicts the negro got the
worst of it, and so universal trans
chise has been to him, SO far, the
greatest curse that was ever visit
ed upon him.
Moreover, negro franchise is
directly or Indirectly responsible
for corruption in our Southern
elections, and nothing is SO demon
alizlng to any people as corrup-
ton of the ballot. Without a pure
ballot there cannot be pure gov~
eminent, for the stream cannot be
purer than its source. 1t has been
a terrible ordeal through which
the South has passed, and it is our
national shame that the United
States government forced the
South into this condition, and
forced thu people of the South to
resort to all sorts of means and
devices to prevent the negro and
the white scoundrels who affiliated
with him in politics from getting
control and keeping control of the
government.
Senator McEnery painted the
picture for the enlightenment of
his Northern contemporaries, and
while he was plain spoken, he
spoke the simple and u~nvarnished
truth. The remembrance of it all
is, indeed, like a "hell~born
dream.'

GEN. CARR ON AMEN DMENT.

l. 40 WI U ~ .
The Democrats Are in for a
Fight to the Finish.
Charlotte Observer.
General Julian S. Carr arrived
in Charlotte last night, and stop
ped at the Buford. He was in ex-
cellent health and spirits.
When asked to give his views
regarding the political situation IN
this State General Carr said:
HThe Democrats must admit
that it will ruquire a stiff fight to
secure the passage of the constitu-
tional amendment. For a long
time we made a great mistake in
thinking it would carry it with a
whirl-without much effort. But
we now fully realize the mistake
of this belief. We will do we'll to
remember that both Senator
Pritchard and Senator Butler r
bitterly opposed to the amend
ment and that they are using all
possible influence in their parties
to defeat us.
"Within the last thirty days.
however, the Democratic party
has been thoroughly and splendid
ly organized. The campaign has
opened and opened we'll, and we
are in for a fight to the finish.
The credit for this is very largely
due to to the chairman, Mr. +.
M. Simmons. In my time 1 have
served as lieutenant under many
political leaders, but Mr.. Sim
mons is by fer the best organizer
and campaign manager that l have
ever known. He has the party fac
tors hard at work, and they are
doing effective service all over the
State.
"The Democrats will win.
There is no doubt about that.
The amount at stake is SO great
that we simply cannot lose. 1t
is a foregone conclusion that the
country east Of Salisbury is over
whelmingly solid for the amend
ment. OF course, hardest
fight will be in the west, where
the negro has been almost alto
gether eliminated from politics.
But recently I haYe learned from
conversations that the number
of Republicans and Populists IN
the west that will support the
amendment is sufficiently large
to astonish Senator Pritchard.
When matters come to the touch
the west will swing into line for
the amendment. But we must
fght-we must fight"
In answer to a question, Gen
eral Carr stated that he did not
care to go into discussion of the
race for the senatorship.
st was my proposition" said
he, ''that this matter should be
left entirely open until we had
secured the adoption of the
amendment.
"Recently I have received
many letters from my friends
asking me to declare myself On
this subject. I still abide by that
determination.
"Of course, it is known that
am in the race, and I may say
that from the voluntary comnun-
ications that have recently come
to me I am necessarily made

Judge Walter Clark, after
years Of earnest labor, born of
his love for the soldiers Of North

mortal in history, has quite COM
pleted the work Of gathering and
editing sketches of the regiments
which constituted that soldiery.

ton in the publication authorized

the data available for such pur-
pose. I therefore call upon the
officers and members Of the old
Second Junior to come to our aid
and enable US TO have recorded in
permanent form a sketch that
will at least convey to those who
are to come after knowledge Of
our participation in that glorious
cause.
The regimental officers were

The companies were from
Cleveland, CASTOR, Burke, Neck

perhaps some others. Moore's

companies, and we must now call
upon those surviving to aid in
completing, SO far as may be, the
record.
Photographs OF officers and
men, taken during the war or i'm
mediatly thereafter, are wanted
also. e
We will thank any officer or
member of the old Second Junior

London, Jan. 26.-Harassed
by hours of heavy fire from the
Boer guns, General Warren was
forced to evacuate Spion Kop,
which was taken Wednesday
night, after holding it a day un-
der heavy fire, which was so in
cessant and accurate that the
British troops were moved down
by the hundreds.
General Warren's fight cost
thousands of dead and wounded
on both sides, the fire being
heavy and steady, shells flying
thick and fast.
The copje captured by General
Warren proved to be only a small
part of the Boer defense, and
only a half-hearted fight was put
up by the Beers to hold it. This

troops would be cut to pieces,
and this without any risk to the
Beers. No sooner had General
Warren settled down in the cap
tured trenches than the Beers
unmasked their guns, which had
been hidden five days, and fierce
preliminary fighting from the
high plateau dominating the
captured kopje broke loose in a
terrific trench tornado of shell
and shrapnel. The Boer gunners
had the range to an inch.
General Warren was helpless
ly in a trap. No guns had been
or could be dragged up the hill
and retreat before daylight was
impossible.
