CLEANING AND COMMENT.

AS we gather h suffrage plan In VIZ
ginia is so drawn as not to exclude any
white voter in the state. but looks only
to reducing the negro vote. There IS a
difference of view as TO h shall De
the extent of the restriction on h ne
gro vote. The cause of delay in fixing
the suffrage in precise terms is the i'll
ness of Senator Daniel. We are pre-
pared to believe that a body Of so many
able. experienced men will do what is
safe and right in this important mat
ter.
In the two days race wal at Ball
town, Washington parish, Louisiana, the
list of deaths is "a whites and blacks.
The first day it wound up with three
whites and eleven blacks killed. The
second day the death roll wa increased
TO twenty more negroes-S4 killed in all.
Quiet has been restored without the aid
of troops. That is really a serious race

come historic. The result is 81 blacks

HOW A SLY STAB CAN BE GIVEN.

In the New York Evening Post ap-
peared a short notice of the death of
Hon. Josiah Turner. 1t is a spiteful,
unfair notice as this will show:

reconstruction times he conducted a
bitter campaign against carpet-baggers.

leased"
That is most foully done. What kind
Of campaign would the tender-footed
Post have conducted against the ras-
cally, thieving, reckless "carpet-baggers'
who created some $500 o 900 of debt
upon a state impoverished and ruined
we'll nigh by the war, and the results
that followed? Mr.. Turner was seized
in a public street by the minions Of
Governor Holden, a republican p%rovis-
ional official, without warrant of law,
and put in prison in the Caswell court
house together with four others among
the best citizens in that part Of North
Carolina, and 500 Tennessee cut-throats,
known in derision as "Kirke's Lambs"
an imitation of a similar gang in Eng
lish history. A noble republican judge,
the late Judge George Brooks, of the
United States Federal Court. released

and he was not Jailed" because of it
if a fact. Many of the truest, best,
noblest, bravest of North Carolinians

Messenger Bureau.


Raleigh. y. c., October 81
The formation OF a military
at Greensboro for admission into the
state guard is authorized. 1t is not
yet known to what regiment it may be
assigned. Adjutant General Register
says that while there is only one va
cancy, that being in the First regiment.
there will probably be some transfers
of companies, as il is his desire to ar
range the regiments in better shape
geographically.
Farmers in this section say farm labor
is very scarce. This particularly ap-
plies to negro labor. They give this
as the reason why some farmers are
so slow in picking out their cotton.
A letter TO the agricultural Depart
ment gives news of the death in this
county of David Brown. a brother of
j. Floyd Brown, ex-member of the leg
stature and state fertilizer inspector.
The state charters the Hydraulic
White Brick Company, of Wilmington,
capital ST., 500.
The postmen on the rural free deliv-
cry routes say the increase in the
amount Of matter handled is steady.
The contractor who is building the
main dormitory at the soldiers home
here informs the executive board that

cember LIST. The Daughters of the Con-
federacy will furnish 1t at a cost Of
something like $3.50.
Some rain fell today-the first in over
two weeks. The farmers who have
sown fall crops are glad to see it. The
harvesting of hay has gone on very
well. and the crop is the largest ever
made in the state.
The cotton crop in the state is a lit
tie over three-fifths as large as last
years record-breaker. In various sec
tons the percentage varies from 80
TO 80 per cent. Tobacco is badly off in
quality and SO is cotton. The agricul-
tural department finds it excessively
difficult to procure fine specimens of
either cotton or tobacco.
Late last night fire broke out in the
engine room of the Midgely spoke fac
tory here and did several hundred dol
lars damage. though the firemen work
ed quickly.
A special committee of the State Den
tai Society has prepared a booklet on
the care Of the teeth, which is TO be cir
culated among school children. This
step is taken by the society as a result
of discussion at it's last annual session.

THE CoRRUPTIoNs IN PENNsYL-
VANIA.

Incidently the Messenger referred TO
the great corruptions in politics in
Pennsylvania. The people who are dis
gusted at the conditions existing nave
united and a campaign against Quay
ism and copartners in iniquity is being
pushed with much vigor and determl-
nation. The Machine has done woeful
things in that old state. 1t has con-
trolled every thing and its betrayals OF
the people are about complete. a list
of the corruptions known is formidably
long aas most disgraceful. 1t covers a
wife I'D OF iniquity and will amaze
outsiders everywhere. The first two in
dictments in the list as printed in the
Philadelphia Record concerns the fun
damentaI laws OF the state. We give
them:
violations of the constitution when
Ger it's provisions interfered with ma
chine schemes of legislation or with
executive power.
"The Pittsburg 'ripper-an act OF
special legislation, under the form of a
general law, which tramples not only
USon several distinctive provisions OF
tie constitution, but upon the most
- creO principles anu GduIIioho ply
al government"
The republican party has SO long and
-iolentIy outraged the rights of the
people and SO assaulted the constitution
OF the land, nat it is not surprising
that heelers machine manipulators
in the state shoul recklessly and bold
Iy violate the state constitution. An
other expression of ~venality and party
depravity is given in the following
which is eminently instructive:
systematic purchase of weak and
needy members OF the legislature, as
was conspicuousIy witnessed in the
election of the speaker of the house and
of q United States senator by the be-
trayal of democratic and independent
republican constituencies.
MULTIPLICATION Of s%inecures in every
department of state administration i'll
order to pay for the campaign work OF
machine dependents out Of the public
treasury.
Needless increase of courts and
Judges, and gerrymandering of judicial
districts for favoritism or
And so on and so on. And all that
and very much more in a time of pro-
found peace, in an old commonwealth
prosperous III CAiAAN N
who lived through the devilish acts IND
wide spread debaucheries in the south
in the dark, venal days of reconstruc-
ton, when carpetbag gentry" from the
boastful north committed many crimes
against the south, and by political mon
strosities outraged the people in their
liberties and wellnigh destroyed the very
forms of civil government. The gov
ernor, the judiciary, the legislature, the
officers in nearly all the counties were
corrupt, vicious, bad and rapacious in
crimes. Pennsylvania is honeycombed
where peace has prevailed for more
than thirty years. And yet this state
is filled with people who revile the
whites in the south, hobnob with the
negroes , and pretend to special sancti-
ty and intense regard for honor and
righteousness. Behold their deeds as
given by friends and not by outside
enemies.

SENSATION.

Rev. Baker P. Lee. Episcopal, at Lex
ington, KY, is notorious just now. He
created a sensation by his views on
horse racing. He gave So, to a horse
trotting association, attended the trot-
ting races, and studied the pooling in
vogue. He said hat ministers cannot
afford to sit back and feel themselves
too good to mingle with the people. Rub
elbows with men and walk with men,
he says. 'Mingle with the masses, scat
tering good rs o go. The minister
must go to the people. There is no use
preaching religion to the religious. 1t
is the unconverted that he must reach"
He has been seriously handled. A dis
patch tells that he preached a sermon,
was requested to repeat it, which he did,
when a Chicago church sent representa-
tives here and offered him a salary OF
$1O,O GO a year. He would not 60, be-
cause of the sensational stir that had
been raised over his recent ~utterances.
Today his church directory announces
that the salary of the dear has been in
creased to $500 per year. He is a Vir-
Slnlan ana was educated at the OnlNeT-
sity of Virginia. He has made an eX-
PLANTATION in a five line card. He writes:
"I have been misquoted and mirepre-
scented. I approve OF all healthful, 1e-
Ultimate sports. I enjoy a horse race,
a boat race, and. above all, the human
race. I disapprove strongly of all
gambling and betting"
Out in Kentucky, given to horse rae
ing, much fighting, and Bourbon whis-
key. he is highly appreciated and those
who antagonize him are described as
tta few bigots." A special to The
Richmond Dispatch from Lexington
states that he has won the approval
of all. but the aforesaid few bigots,'
that "he has won for himself the es-
TEEN, respect, and affection of the COM
munity. His congregation are enthu-
siastic about him. The vestry of his
church, the Cathedral of this diocese,
has increased his salary from 81, 200 to
$500 a year. He is by far the most
popular and beloved preacher in Lex
ington." Verify Kentucky is a state OF
peculiar morals, ideas, n acts. Mr.
Lee is me of that class who are aptly
described as sensational"

made an assignment. 1t has been do
ing a good business for the past two
years and the failure is quite a surprise.

Farmers in this section are having
serious trouble in getting their cotton
crops housed. There mas never been a
time in this section when labor was
so scarce. The negroes seem to have
reached an understanding among them
selves that they will only work enough
to live on. In many instances farmers
have housed a very small per cent Of
heir cotton crop and are entirely una
bic to hire any labor to complete the
work. A continued wet spell or wind
storm would work destruction In this
section.
