Obituary.

James j. Loughlin was born in
Manchester, England, on the 10th
day of June, 1910, and died in War
renton, n. c., on the 10th day of
July, 1902.
Mr.. Loughlin came from England to
this country in 1858, landing at Nor
folk, Va, from which place, after a
short residence, he came to Warren
ton to live. Before he had firmly es-
tablished himself in business, the
war between the States came on. In
the sky Of Nations a new flag ap-
peared, and the Stars and Bars and
the cause for which it waved, ap-
pealed to his martial spirit not in
vain. With all the fire of young
enthusiast, he espoused the cause of
his adopted land, and the Sunny

no defender more gallant and devoted
than he. He enlisted in Co. B., 3Oth

Orderly Sergeant, in which capacity
he served with greatest efficiency
until 1868. when he was promoted to
lieutenant. He was in the battles OF
Mechanicsville, Cold Harbor, Nal
vern Hill. Gettysburg and others in
which his company was engaged. In
the battle of Malvern Hill he was
wounded and taken prisoner. but
was exchanged in very short time,
and, rejoining his company, was
placed in command of the sharp
shooters of the regiment. On the re-
treat from Gettysburg. when near
Fort Royal, in skirmish fight be-
tween the sharp-shooters of the two
armies, he was again taken prisoner
and sent to Johnson's Island, where
he remained until the close of the
war.

ARP ROASTS SLEDD.
The Creator Made the Negro Inferior
and He VIII Remain SO.
Bill ARD in Atlanta Constitution.

Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution.
What craze has come over that
man SIedd to cause him to write such
a fool piece for the Boston magazine?
What good can it possibly do il it
was true? But it is not true and
only the poduct Of diseased imagi-
nation. I would write hard things
about him but for his family connec-
tions. For their sake ne had better
have smothered his feelings and his
pen. The atlantic Monthly has never
shown any love for the South, and
why he should select this as his organ
passeth comprehension. Professor
Sledd says that the negro is an infe-
rior race. Then why does he insist
that we give him place in our own
churches and hotels and railroad
cars?
1t was the work Of the Creator that
made him inferior. and he will re-
main sc-and neither miscegination
will ever change it so far as social
equality is concerned.
What a monstrous falsehood to say
that the Southern negro is dehuman-
lied Right here in our town every
negro mechanic is employed at good
wages. Blacksmiths, carpenters,
masons, painters, drsymen are all
busy. Cooks. nurses and washer
women find constant employment
and they are not only contented,
but sometimes dare to be merry and
laugh. Where did Sledd get all that
rot about kicking and cursing and
beating the negro? We never hear
Of such treatment in this region.
Dchumanized indeed, Ask Tribble
and Brown who give their shops the
most patronage. What ridiculous
folly to demand seats in our churches
for the negroes. They have churches
of their own that were built mainly
by the charity of the white folks.
They don't want seats in our churches.
They have schools Of their own that
we support, and they have excursions
and baseball and watermelOns and
funerals and Daughters Of Zion. Oh.
for shame on Sledd. pity his fami
ly and his kindred. He thinks he
has found mares nest, and for lack
of something fresh has raked up Sam
Hose again. He laments the lynch
ings, but not the outrages, and be
proposes remedy. Mr.. Sledd can
set this down-that the lynchings
will not stop until the outrages do.
When a negro dchumanizes himself
and becomes beast he ought to be
lynched, whether it is Sunday or
Monday.

Fully one-half of the people Of this

efforts to make their limited incomes

for cheap goods of fair and service
able quality. Legislation in the in-
terest of combinations that have the
fixing of prices in their own hands,
and that sell abroad for so much less
than they sell at home, is legislation
against the interests of all consumers
and is especially hard on the poor. =

LARGER DISTRICTS AND BETTER

Lexington Dispatch.
Little public school districts, where
the pupils numbered do not come up
to the legal requirement, will get no
outside aid. The idea now is to get
up good districts with good num-
Der of scholars and build up school
that will tell for good in the commu
nifty. 1t is strange that some COM
mitteemen won't see this plain fact.
And it is strange that they insist on
doing 8 thing that will not give their
children an even chance with the
children Of other neighborhoods.
With the present light on the subject
any man ought to be ashamed to
come mp and contend for the continu-
alton OF school district from which
no good can come to the community.
The country is going forward and
those who oppose this forward move
ment will soon be looked upon as
mere drones, not knowing what is
best for their own good.
