Especial TO News and Observer

Franklinton, n. c., Oct. 21.-Braxton

Green, negro, near Brassfield church,
in Brassfield township, Granville county,
late yesterday evening The report is
that the negro who had been away from
this State owed Bragg some money. They
met at a little store; the negro said he
had check for one hundred dollars. and
told Bragg that if he would cash the
check he would pay him. Bragg agreed
to this and the negro said the check was
at home and he was going to church to
which Bragg said:
81 don't know whether you will or not
until you pay me"
THE negro asked: "How much do
owe your
Bragg told him and the negro said it was
a damned lie. Bragg drew his pistol and
shot at him, when the negro ran around
the house, while Bragg went the other
way, and when the negro got in the edge
of the road he turned towards Bragg and
drew his pistol, but seeing Bragg with his
pistol in his hand turned again, when
Bragg shot him in the back of the head,
killing him instantly.
This report is given by Mr. George
Fuller, who is here for a coffin. The
body of the negro is still lying in the

NO JURISDICTION.

friend of the newly appointed Ala
bama judge, Ex-Governor Jones, says
there is no reason to believe that the
judges attitude on 1.-The grandfather
clause secured his appointment. He
tells the Atlanta Constitution that
Judge Jones would not sit alone in
such a case;" that his court would have
no original jurisdiction to compel regis
tration, and they have no jurisdiction to
cnjoin the execution of the registration
laws OF q State, on the ground that they
violate the Constitution of the United
States. This was tried in South Carolina
and Chief Justice Fuller, sitting in the
Circuit Court of Appeals, denied the right
of the Federal courts to interfere in that
South Carolina case of Green VS.. Mills,
decided in 1895:
"a court of equity has no jurisdiction
on a bill asking relief on behalf OF the
plaintiff and other citizens similarly sit
uated to enjoin a county supervisor of
registration from performing the duties
prescribed bv tbo State registration laws
on the ground that the State laws are
unconstitutionaT and operate to deprive
plaintiffs and Aothers of their right to
vote I"

His friends in all sections of the State

probable candidacy of Judge w "A. Hoke

that he deemed it proper to make an an

THE RECORD OF A WEEK,

/. On Monday and Tuesday of last week
Raleigh. While here he had a conference
with Col. A. B. Andrews, vice president
Of the Southern railway and BOSS" of
the Morning Post, published in Raleigh.
9. On Tuesday Senator Pritchard spoke
to the Business Mems League of Franklin
county, and the correspondent of the
Morning Post wired that the only effect of
his speech was to stimulate Democrats
and that 9S per cent of his white hearers
were Democrats when he began and were
Democrats when he finished. The Post
refused to print the telegram from it's
truthful correspondent because it was cal
culated to do the Democratic party good
and retard the growth of the Business
Mems Republican League, which the Post
and Col Andrews have been coddling.
g. Wednesday evening President Roose-
welt invited Booker T. Washington (col)
to dine with him at the White House.
The Post did not print that item of news
until Saturday morning, two days after
every other newspaper had printed 1t.
Having praised Roosevelt and sought to
become the organ of the Commercial
Democracy it hated to print it so bad
that it threw it into fits when forced to
do So
4. On Saturday Col. A. b. Andrews,
vice president of the Southern railway
and Boss of the Morning Post, chaper-
oned by Senator McLaurin, called to see
President Roosevelt to discuss the
Southern situation"
1t is we'll to keep the daily facts
straight. Each man may place his own
construction upon the proper connection
between these four incidents.

A GRIEVOUS MISTAKE.
Montgomery Advertiser.

Montgomery Advertiser.
While the President recognized the
best negro in the United States as his
social guest, he made a grievous mis-
take because there is not and cannot be
any equality on such lines. We do not
believe one man in a thousand anywhere
in the North or West, would do such
thing. 1t is something no other Presi
dent ever did. At any rate, the people
of this end Of the country endorse Abb
raham Lincoln's position, which he stat
ed in these words in his memorable de-
bate with Stephen A. Douglass in 1858:
II am not not, nor ever have been, in
favor Of making voters or jurors of ne
groes, nor of qualifying them to hold Of
flee nor intermarrying them with white
people, and / will say, in addition to
this. that there is a physical difference
between the white and black race,
which believe, will forever forbid the
two races living together on terms of So
cial and political equality-and, mas
much as they can not so live, while they
do remain together, there must be po-
sition of superior and inferior, and 1, as
much as any other man, am in favor of
having the superior position assigned to
the white race.

A GREAT ADVOCATE.

There was buried yesterday in the
city of Raleigh the body of one of the
first lawyers North Carolina has known
in the last half century. Thomas C.
Fuller was a man of noble bearing and
of big brain. He looked every inch a
leader of men and mental giant He
had the bearing that would mark him
in any company as one born to COM
mand. Rarely has any man been so
blessed with the combination of facul-
ties to give him primacy as this golden
hearted gentleman. Judge Fuller had
the qualities to have made a reputation
in the political forum. In the Confed-
crate Congress he took high position, and
if he had continued in politics would
have ranked with the first men in the
South in the national councils of his
party. He was elected to Congress af-
ter the war but along with other South
ern men who had been honored by the
Cenfederacy, was denied his seat There
after he devoted himself wholly to his
profession where he won first rank in
the abIest bar in the State. For twenty
five years he appeared in almost every
notable case in Raleigh--and it is not
too much to say that many of his argu-
nents could not have been surpassed.
r. L
Ter was at his best. He made the great
est speech this writer ever heard in
ing counsel for DR.. Eugene Grissom in
the famous investigation OF 1899. The
ter, but no printed page can give the
faintest idea of it's wonderful power. 1t
was matchless in it's appeals, in it's in
vective, in it's denunciation 1t may be
that some great advocate-O'Connor or
Ingersole or Writ-could have made
speech of more power, but this writer
upon whom itNmade an impression that
is as vivid today as when he heard it,
does not believe that mortal man could
have surpassed that wonderful argu-
'ment 1t was for the time, the purpose
and the place as near perfection as it is
given to mortals to attain
Judge Fuller was appointed by Presi-
dent Cleveland as Judge of the newly
created Court of Private Land Claims in
1893 or 1884 1t called for the mastery
of practice and laws wholly dissimilar
to the North Carolina practice. Judge
Fuller gave himself to the study of the
Spanish laws and treaties and made a
reputation in his new position which
called for ability of high order.
He rounded out his three score years
and ten with a life Of honor and success,
and passed into the better land with the
confidence and esteem of the people of
his city and State.
