Messenger Bureau,
Raleigh, y. c., June 3.

RaIelSn, y. u, June j.
The coroner OF this county went TO
Holly Springs his morning TO investi-
gate what promises to be a sensational
case; the death Of j. NJ. Dennis, a farm
Ter. Late last night two negroes. Chas.
Horton, a powerful man, aged 80 years,
and Bette Judd were arrested. Den
mis- was found dead by the well in his
yard Sunday afternoon. He and his
wife and sister were on the porch of the
house when a noise was heard at the
well. some one having released the
bucket, which fell with a great noise.
Dennis went out to see what was the
matter. At the well were the above
named negroes. Horton says Dennis
told him to be careful. anG in an in
lstant fell dead. Two hours later a doc
tor was called to see Mrs. Dennis. whom
the death had Frustrated. He looked
casually at Dennis body, and says the
throat was bruised and that there were
lother bruises on the temple, nose and
lcheek and that both cars were scratch
ed. There was a large log beside the
well. The coroner eShumed the body
to-day and made a post mortcm exami-
nation. 1t is claimed hat the negro
Horton had made grave threats against
Dennis because the latter while a tax
lister had made him pay the tax on the
real value of his property.
1t is learned that w. j. Hicks, the
superintendent OF the oxford orphan
ASYLUM, is very sick.

relief that / cannot refrain from sug-
costing ii. No monopoly should be al
lowed by law TO rob it's people on
the plea that it desires by this to
exploit the markets of foreign oun
tries. Any wild war on corporations,
as such, would be as unwise as danger
Gus. Such a war could not and ought
not to succeed. Corporations are one
OF the prime sources of our wealth and
prosperity; and large corporations can
manufacture mole cheaply than small
ones. But corporations should be regu-
lated and compelled to stop short of
monopoly. Every tariff Law that helps
any combination on towards monopoly
should be instantly repealed. This / do
not doubt that the American people will
do. They cannot afford to leave our
to the mercy of trusts, and
thus furnish an argument to the social
lists for the exploitation of their
theories.
THE monopolles should take warning
from the manifestations before THIN.
The people are appalled, at their audac-
ity in declaring that they do and will
continue to charge the American con-
sumner more than their export prices, in
order that they may reach foreign mar
kets. Popular indignation over such a

HASNA'S WAR CRY.

Keep on letting we'll enough alone
is not a principle upon which Mr.. Han
ma has ever acted heretofore in politics
or business. Aggressive, pushing,
struggling TO get to the top rung of the
ladder. he has not been a man to sit
quietly INT be satisfied with present
conditions. and when ne begins TO tell
the people to let we'll enough alone i'm
politics.. it shows he IS afraid of the
consequences if they do not. His "let
we'll enough alone just now means
that the people should let Mark
Hanna and his party continue to con-
troll the affairs Of the government; for
them not to try to better their condi-
ton. but to be satisfied with conditions
as they find them. 1t is an effort to lull
the people into indifference with the be-
lief that their condition is as good as it
can be made and if they attempt to
improve it they are in danger of maxi
ing it worse.
Mr.. Hanna is afraid for the people to
undertake to improve conditions. for he
knows that the awakening OF the peo-
pNe ~ oo1Ai " SCSSll u oS OIil
ical affairs now stand and considering
the temper of the people, most probably
mean republican defeat at the polls.
Yes. let we'll enough alone; go along
quietly; take no thought Of the affairs
Of government; attend TO o u own pri-
vate business and leave the administra-
ton of public affairs In the hands of
the party now in power and the men
who are at it's head: do not concern
yourselves about sucn questions as
high tariff. Imperialism. the peoples
currency. trusts and monopolies, etc.
All these matters the republicans as
long as you keep them in power, will
manage for you and ave o the worry
over such affairs. This is what Mr..
Hanna's let we'll enough alone means.
