lola Bows Robbed in Colorado.

r., II. Brown this week received
telegram from Colorado City, Co..
orado, which read briefly but clearly:
"Send fifty. Was robbed last
night. Will be home Sunday"
1t was signed by his son Garfield
Brown. He and his brother Art left
some time ago for Colorado for their
health and to secure work. They Wis
tied Colorado Springs and evidently
drifted out to the halfway town just
above that city. There the thieves
fell upon them and stripped, them
clean. Mr.. Brown thinks Garfield
had several hundred dollars on his
person and thatArt had about seventy.
Money for them to return home was
sent them.

Some weeks ago, possibly a month,
the REGISTER reported an assault
made on young man on west Madi-
son avenue by a colored man. The
colored party TO the affair was
Hickory Sanders and he left lola i'm
mediately and stayed away until Mon
day when he returned here and the
police nabbed him. The story of the
crime is given by l., ID. Ragland a
young white man, who says that San
ders approached him one evening ion
the street and demanded u nickle
Ragland refused and Sanders struck
him. Ragland swore out complaint,
charging assault aud using profane
language on the street, Ibut Sanders
had disappeared. His trial was set
for the afternoon.
Hickory was turned loose after be-
ing arrested on his own recognizance
and he evidently recognized that he
was up against it for he skipped and
did not appear for trial.

Thirty-seven years ago Kansas had
but one representative in the House.
This lone representative was Sidney
Clarke, now resident of Oklahoma
City, but at present in Washington.
He finds but two men now in Congress
who were here when he represented
the state in the Thirty-ninth, Fortieth
and Forty-tirst congresses-from 1865
to 1871. Senator Allison of Iowa was
here in the House at the same time,
dropping out in 1871 and coming to
the Senate in 1878. Senator Hale of
Maine entered the House in Clarke's s
last term, 1869 to 1873, and continued
there until he went to the Senate in
1881, with one terms exception. SEN
ator Stewart of Nevada entered the
Senate in 1865, when Clarke went in
the House, but Stewart was out of the
Senate from 1875 to 1877.
IT would be interesting to know of
what stun their ships were made that
they have been able to sail so long
on "the treacherous vitriol sea-"

a BLOW AT THE GOOD NAME OF
THE STATE.

Lynch law ought never to be resorted
to in civilized community. but it has
no semblance of excuse upon any theory
when the criminal has been captured and
put in Jail, awaiting trial. The people
of Washington are greatly Inundated
at the blot put upon their town by the
lynching of the negro who tried to poison
DR.. Tayloe's family. The Washington
Messenger Gazette voices the popular
sentiment of the thoughtful people of
that community in the following wise
editorial:
while we believe the negro lynched
last night for the poisoning of DR.. ID. T.
Tayloe and family, deserved the punish
ment he received, we must say = was
wholly unjustifiable and has cast a blot
on our community which all law abiding
citizens must regret. There is not
doubt in our mind but that he would
have been convicted had he been allowed
to live to stand trial, and he would have
received the full penalty Of the law
twenty years in the penitentiary. Then,
dSdiliy tie IyHCuluS last
night still more unjustifiable is it was
not done in the heat of passion, and it
was planned and premeditated after the
crime had been committed over week
1t would have been much better for the
good name CT our community, and cspe-
cially for those who were engaged in it
to have allowed the law to have taken
its course. As it is the blood of hui
man being is on the hands of some of our
citizens. and though they may feel they
were justified in the course they Dur
sued, the memory of last night and the
launching of human being into eternity
will be an unpleasant memory as long as
they live. There is only one crime in
which lynching is justifiable, if any, and
that would not be if the law was so
changed that the unfortunate female was
not compelled to testify of shame in open
court and in the presence of the curios-
ity seeking multitude

AN IMPORTANT ELECTION.

The voters of Hillsboro township, Or
ange county. will vote next Monday on
a proposition to issue $4,000 of bonds to
work the public roads in that township.
The fact that the election has been
called is testimony of the deep interest
manifested in the venerable old borough
of Hillsboro. A favorable vote would
do infinite credit to the progress of
Hillsboro, and would set an example of
enterprise and progress to larger towns
that would greatly accelerate the Good
Roads movement in North Carolina.
The eyes CT the State are upon Hills
boro. 1t has led the State in statesman
ship in many decades of the States past
history. 1t is fitting that it should lead
in the practical work-road building
the sure forerunner Of prosperity and de-
velopment of agricultural, manufacture

POLITICAL HIGHWAY ROBBERY
AND BRIGANDAGE.

A few weeks ago the President sent to
the Senate the name of ]. w. Mullen as
postmaster at Charlotte. He had held
the position for four years and made an
acceptable officer. A few days thereafter,
before the Senate had acted. the Presi-
dent withdrew the nomination. Reason:
Mr.. Mullen had been painting the town
red while on a visit to Washington
City.
1t was given out that Mr.. Roosevelt
would not appoint Mr.. Mullen because he
tarried long over the wine-cups Then it
was reported that, in the event the
President would not appoint Mullen, the
appointment would go to Mr.. D. K. Pope,
of Charlotte. Just as the successor to
Mullen was heralded, came the news
that Mr.. Pope, the heir apparent, had
been arrested at Roanoke, Va,
on the charge of swindling. The facts
were these: Pope called on the post
master at Madison, N. c., and demanded
a big campaign contribution for the Re-
publican party. The postmaster, Mr..
Lewis, whose salary is small, gave Pope
two notes for forty dollars each payable
in September. After Pope had left Mad
ison, the postmaster who had been "held
up, concluded that Pope was a fraud,
and followed him to Martinsville, Va,
where the notes were returned at the
point of pistol. Then the irate post
master wired to Roanoke and had Pope
arrested upon the charge of swindling.
Afterwards he was released.
