Durham, N. c., August 27.-Saturday
night there was cutting ARRAY near
Hickstown, about two miles from this
city. From what we can learn of TIN
affair, it seems that Ed. Crabtree, Ed
Dezern, Major Hamlin and several others
got into fight and it is stated that
Hamlin and Dezern used knives, cutting
Crabtree up in a very bad manner.
Dr. z. T. Brooks attended the man and
dressed his wounds, several OF when
were very serious. There was one cut
on the back of the head, one on the
side of his face and cash in his back
that was some eight or ten inches in
length 1t is not thought however, that
the wounds will prove fatal.
Both of the men who are accused OF
doing the cutting are of bad character,
SO far as fighting is concerned, and
have been in trouble before.
Constable Ed. T. Lee arrested Ed. De-
zern and Jim Browning out near the
reservoir yesterday afternoon, and Mr..
King and his son who work for the Dur
ham Water Company told him that they
would be responsible for the appearance
of the two men at the Durham court

Dezern and Browning did not show UP
and capias have been issued for their
arrest
eytef have been informed by a magis-
trate, that he did not think Officer Lee
had any right to turn the men loose
without magistrate or justice of the
peace signing the bonds. 1t is hoped

THE BETTER WAY.
The Washington Post.

The Washington Post.
The Cleveland Leaders comments on
the tragedy which has shamed and dis
graced the State of Ohio are in excellent
taste. There is no attempt to minimize
or apologize for the atrocious work of the
Akron mob. The Leader admits that, in
some respects, that mob was worse than
those which have during the past twenty
years brought reproach on the South. 1t
says that Southern mobs usually are sim
ply bent on vengeance; that they do
not resort to the destruction of proper
ty, and that they do not attempt to
kill public officials when their victims
escape. The insane people at Akron,
however, says the Leader, when thwarted
in their attempt to hang a negro pris-
oner, turned upon the police and mayor,
set fire to public buildings, and then
attacked the fremen who tried to save
that property from destruction. And the
Leader concludes with the humiliating
confession that surely the South can
scoff at the North hereafter for one rea-
son at least"
There is much better plan available
to both sides in this matter of mob VIC
lence than mutual or competitive SCOT
fing. 1t does no good. 1t only does harm
for the North to scott at the South on
account of unlawful homicides, or for
the South to retaliate when, in a North
ern State. so diabolical a tragedy as
that at Akron, Ohio, is enacted. Mutual
sympathy in distress and disgrace; mu-
tual recognition of the identity Of human
nature wherever it is found; mutual
helpfulness in the bringing about Of bet
ter conditions; mutual opposition to any
attempt to bring these bloody horrors
into politics-that is incomparably better
than scoffing.

The Negro in November.

CHR News.
1t is a significant fact that the ma
iority of those who object to mention
ing the negro in this campaign, do not
want to see Mr.. Bryan carry North
Carolina.
They are the papers that are either
actively opposed to Mr. Bryan, or give
him half-hearted support with stabs on
the side, or else the me Toos, who echo
the expressions and reflect the views
of the luke-warm newspapers
Calling attention to the number of ne
gro offce-holders appointed by McKin-
ley and urging that the people vote for
a man who will not appoint negroes to
Federal offices in the South, is just as
much a patriotic duty as it was in
July to urge the people to vote for men
who would not appoint negroes to State
offices in North Carolina.
Some of the newspapers that were
most active in denouncing negro office
holding and negro suffrage two months
ago, now attack the straight-out Demo-

There are doubtless in North Carolina
as there may be in other Southern States
a few calling themselves Democrats
who favor the gold standard the Nc
Kinley policy of tariff protection, eXpan-
sion, ship subsidies, trusts, etc, who
from self-interest will support and vote
for Mckinley, as against Bryan or any
other Democrat who is opposed to these
policies, but they are Republicans pure
and simple and should drop the prefix oil
annex of Democrat" which they have
no right to use. We could hold in the
palm of our hand the names of all that
kind of Democrats" in North Carolina
When they issue their manifesto they
should not go before the public under
false colors, but should sign themselves
Mckinley Republicans, and be, at least
honest.

Spring Suits

Styles switch around in a way
most puzzling; and yet, withal,
the changes now to be recorded
are more of an evolution than a
radical departure from recent
models.
The skirt still clings but the
tendency is to crowd more mate
rial into the back breadths. The
Windsor is decided favorite.
Coats are almost all close fit
ting and decidedly short.
Some of the Elton styles scarcely
reach the belt; others extend
scarcely to exceed three inches
below it.
