A TERROR TO EVIL DOERS.
Plea for the Re-Establishment of the
Whipping Post.
Communicated. }

EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-Recurrng to the
burglary which occurred in our town last
week, it was stated that the prisoners
said they did not mind returning to
prison for it was their home The only
thing they dreaded was the fogging they
would get next day. The question may
be asked, What is the best way to pre-
vent such hardened villains from preyiug
upon property of those striving to make
an honest living? 1t is evident that
crime Is on the Increase, and that the
penitentiary, work house and similar in
stitutiOns have proven first-class failures
as refOrmatOries, and are but nurseries
Tor criminals. for no sooner do they re-
gain liberty, than II majority return to
their old avOca tions. The more seed
sOWn in such institutions, the more abun-
dant is the harvest
No one can doubt that our forefathers
possessed sound common sense. and their
main object was to protect the honest
citizen against that class of pilferers, who
live on Others without giving value re-
celved. They devised a mode of punish
ment which, if it did not extinguish theft.
did in a great degree check it. They
established the whipping post and
thought it not cruel or dishonorable to
mete out punishment to those guilty OF
appropratlngo other peoples property to
their own use, The institution, as long
as it remained, was a terror to evil doors.
but the sweet scented rascaly carpet

hypocricy in gaining votes to elevate
him to positions OF trust. SO as to priv
ilege him to steal and thieve-these de-
testabie scoundrels abolished an insti
tuition that was both economical and q
safeguard to honest people.
Had this grim monster continued
standing on the court green of every
county town in the State as q menace
to evil doors, how many characters would
have been maintained and preserved
How many bleeding hearts would have
been saved, shortage in accounts.
embellishments and financial losses
avoided? The very thought OF hugging
the dreaded monster in public, receiving
~ lashes on the bare back, accompanied
with disgrace for life, would have been
the means OF deterring many man from
taking the fatal step. But sentimentalism
and the carpet Dagger are responsible for
the increase of crime and the numberless
wrecks of character and financial institu-
tons, which now lie strewn on the beach
OF despair. where blight and mildew for
ever dwels.
So far as North Carolina is concerned.
IT Is to be hoped this great reformatory
institution will bere-established and this
question, one of the paramount issues

NO THIRD TERM.

In view of the talk in certain quar-
tiers about 3 third term for Mckinley
the President has deemed it proper to
give out the following signed state
ment:
| regret that the suggestion of a
third term has been made. | doubt
whether | am called upon to give it
notice, but there are now questions of
the gravest Importance before the ad-
ministration and the country and
their just consideration should not be
prejudiced in the public mind by even
a suspicion of the thought of third
term.
In view, therefore, of reiteration
of the suggestion of it, | will say
now, once for all, that | am express
ing long settled conviction that not
only am l not and will not be a candi-
date for a third term, but would not
accept the nomination for it if it were
rendered me.
My only ambition is to serve
through my second term to the &C
ceptance of my countrymen, whose
generous confidence is so deeply ap-
preciated and then with them do nv
duty in the ranks of private citizen

IT looks like the railroads are not
prOiiting by their experience in deal
ing with the public during the Worlds
Fair. 1t will be recalled that in the
early months of that enterprise it
was practically killed as far as visi-
tors was concerned by the high rates
charged by the transportation COM
panies. The people couldn't stand it
and the attendance was small See
ing that the public would not be
bled the railroads finally made rea-
sonablc rates and the financial failure
which threatened the management
was averted. When the railroads find
out that the people are going to stay
away from the Pan-American Exposi-
ton on the same account a lower and
reasonable rate of fare will be made
to Buffalo. And the sooner thew do
so the better for them.
