J. WILEY THINKS THEY ARE
HANDS"

]. Wiley Shook wrote an open letter"
to President Mckinley against civil SER
vice and received orders to write no more
until he could write better.
His friends have been expecting him.
every day since Mr.. Roosevelt became
President, to write an "open letter" to the
Rough Rider "agin" civil service, but he
has restrained himself.
But an incident recently occurred which
so aroused the wrath of the statesman of
Pigeon River that ME has rushed into
print. It is in defense of Mr. Pope, who
was arrested last week on the complaint
of the postmaster on the charge of
'swindlng." 1t turns out that Pope was
not guilty of "swindling' but was the
ty in North Carolina going about levying
assessments on Federal officeholders to
get money to pay poll-tax for negroes so
they can vote in November.
j. Wiley comes to the defense of Pope
and to the abuse of the postmaster at
Madison, referring to 'Nhe traitorous con-
duct of the postmaster at Madison in
making exposure of Mr.. Pope's business
in travelling through the State and Col
Shook adds in his own vigorous and terse
style:
When Republican asks a contribution
from an officeholder of his party who has
transferred himself, perhaps, from an
eight-dollar field hand into a lucrative
office by reason of party success, which
probably had never before cost him 25
cents, and that officeholder shows his
sides by exposing his party as this fell
low mas done, then hades is played
Just after the war, when Col Shocks
party elected lot of negroes and scoun-
drels to the Legislature of 1889. Josiah
Turner referred to the legislators as
hands" Col. Shook, who ought to know,
says that Federal offceholders who are
drawing big pay, were transferred from
an eight-dollar field hand to a lucrative
Office and he argues that they ought to
pay assessments to the party with joy
instead of arresting the man who is col
lecting the assessment. But field hands"
may not be expected to observe all the
proprieties that gentlemen of Col. Shook S
cloth understand Having suddenly been
transformed from field hands they
doubtless wish to save up large sum
so that they will not have to go back to
their old jobs when the Democrats re-
turn to power.
]. Wiley is robust partisan. He says
that Mr.. Pope was doing what Democrats
did when they were in power, and that

A gentleman writes to the Post and

engaged in it received but $4,000 of the

one of the absentees, received $4,000 as
his personal share. 1t is quite evident
that the gentleman is not aware of the

1t is today reported in railway circles
that the Southern has acquired the con
troll of the South Carolina and Georgia
extension, or old 3C's road. 1t is said
that the transfer was made last night
at midnight and took place at Charles
ton. 1t is stated that this line will be-
come part of the Charleston division,
and through trains will be put on from
Marion, N. c., via Camden and Kings
vile to Columbia, the line from King
Vile to Columbia now being in the
Charleston division. The Savannah di-
vision is now the largest, so far as
mileage is concerned, and is about the
most important of the whole system.
The Importance of the Charleston divis-
ion would be increased when the 3C's
road is acquired. 1t is not known what
plans the Southern has for developing this
property, but it is believed that number
of the officials of that road will be kept
in some capacity by the Southern.-Ashe-

The right Of an editor to curtail or

Right. OF the is likely to be bet
ter defined than it
is at the present
moment by the discussion of Mr.. Hall
Gaines Eternal City" in the law
courts, notes the Book Buyer. There
have, of course, been many instances
where an author of the first rank has
found his story purchased and then
changed, or, as he would call it, mutt
lated, to suit the taste of an EDITORS
public. There is much to be said on
both sides. Little can be said for the
editor who deliberately buys a story
without reading 1t when he has an OPP
portunity to do so. That practice is
quite on par with buying a pig in q
poke or a horse without a warranty.
And the method of editing after the
event Is expensive and vexatious. In
the case OF small articles this does not
hold to anything like the same extent,
but writer who produces what he con-
siders, rightly or wrongly, o piece of
art naturally objects to have it done
over again by manipulation who has
only the commercial point IN view, or
the satisfying of certain public.

ment is a severer loss than the thing
about which he complains. Many a
man and woman has brought into the
home circle sour visage and morose

between those who should love each
