himself the conditions under which the

which certain members OF the recent

tan world than either London or
Brighton can supply. The congregation
ut the City temple believe that Mr..
Campbell will cause a sensation in the
United States by his eloquence. and they
are already commencing to feel that the
late DR.. Joseph Parker--his predecessor
was only a mediocrity compared with
him. This was an opinion expressed by
several members of the congregation to
the writer. Mr., Campbell has exactly
the sort of forceful personality that COM
mands respect in America. Before COM
ing 10 London he was at Brighton-the
fashionable resort-whence his reputa-
ton for eloquence and intellectually
spread all over the kingdom.
Joseph Parker was fearless, and made
no bones about criticising the king him
self when Edward did anything that the
particular "nOn-couformist conscience"
Of Holborn viaduct found abhorrent.
Mr.. Campbell showed himself no less
courageous when he ventured to critl-
else the policy OF his predecessor by de-
claring that commercial methods
should flourish no longer at the City
temple-the reference being to Dr. Par
ker's habit of selling his sermons in
printed form-aRd when, more recently.
he began his determined crusade against
the shady practices reputedly common
among the aristocracy. The new preach

morality among English society women

pecially vigorous in denouncing what

houses. He blames the society women

1t is said that Mr. Payne was at
tending a large dinner on one occasion
where the guests were not well ac-
quainted with each other. and the host
was practically unknown to the
guests. Mr.. Payne sat in solemn form
away down the table, and his sedate
appearance suggested to the host that
he might be a clergyman, and 1t would
be proper to call on him TO say a
grace. Looking toward him, the host
bowed and said: "Will you kindly

A MORTGAGES on PRESENT AND
NEXT GENERATION

The Democratic Legislature has
decided To issue bonds. This is one
of the fruits of Red Shirt Democrat
&c rule.
The House has already passed a
bond bill for $500, 900. The Senate
Ii urged to make 1t half million,
Many politicians and Democratic
newspapers say that 1t will hurt
the party just as hard to issue $780,
900, OF bonds as Ii will to issue
double the amount. There reason
Is that 1t il no worse to steal
two lambs than one lamb. Besides
they admit that the next Demo
cratic Legislature will have to issue
more bonds and that 1t will hurt
worse to do 1t twice than once.
But the result Of Democratic ex-
travagance and mismanagement
will be the same on the Taxpayers.
Every year the people will be taxed
about $15, 200 extra to pay the In
terest on these Bonds. And after
the people have paid s250,O0O in
terest they will then have to pay
back the full amount of these bonds
In addition, unless the Democrats
should decide to repudiate these
bonds.
How much more ofsuch DemOcra-
tic ECONOMY and good govern,
ment" do the people want?

SENATOR JETER c. PRITCHARD
Senator Pritchard has just closed
. term Of eight years Of most hon.
orable and useful service In the u.
s. Senate.
Few men have carried greater
burden Of labor and responsibility
during this period. He has been
not only a faithful Senator for his
own state, but practically q Repub-
lican Senator for the whole South.
The number Of people whose
wants he has patiently listen to and
whose interest he has tried to serve
has been enormous. During IL all
he has never lost his patience OF
been uncivil to anyone.
Besides he has always given the
closest attention to the intesrests OF
his state. During all this time he
has been the close friend of and q
power with both the Mckinley and
the Roosevelt administrations.
North Carolina loses much in his
retirement from the Senate. He
was worth more to the industrial
progress of the State than any two
or half dozen Democratic Senators
can possibly be. We believe than q
large part Of the Democratic party
realize that it would have been
better for the State for him to have
been returned to the Senate.
1t Is to be hoped that the time
will soon come when the masses OF
the people in the state and In the
whole South will vote ON business
principles and not on sentiment OF
rarty prejudice. And the sooner
this condition comes the better il
will be for the State.

THE REPORT OF THE WHITE
WASHING COMMITTEE

WASHING COMMITTEE
The withdrawing has been done
but 1t took some time as several
coats had to be put on before they
could get it to look anything like
white.
The joint legislative committee
appointed to investigate the charge
Of cruelty to the convicts on the
march from Spruce Pines to Marion,
a distance of over twenty-five miles,
on January 21st. made its report to
the Legislature last Wednesday
night. 1t found that the road is
the worst in the State, the mud
being on an average of to inches
land in many places over a knee
deep) that most of the Convicts
were shackled together two and two
and by chains around the ankles,
and these convicts (some of them
being very sick) had to drag these
chains though the mud and ice for
twenty-five miles on one of coolest
days of the winter driven on by
curses and threats of the guards, and
still the committe failed to see
where any cruelty had been done,
The following is an extract from
the committees report:
.sThe committee find that on ar
rival at Marion three gallons of
whiskey were devided among the
convicts, but no coffee or warm food
was issued to them that night or the
next morning, which the committee
thinks could and should have been
furnished; that the convicts reached
Marion about 6 p. M, and was i'm
mediately put in cars, but that be.
cause Of a railroad accident the cars
were not moved that night and the
convicts were kept therein from the
evening of the 21st to the morning
Of the 23rd, 36 hours, before they
were taken out length of time too
great to keep the convicts confined
in the cars, and the authorities
should have seen that at intervals
they were taken out and given fresh
air and exercised.
The committee fails to find any
acts of cruelty on the part of the
penitentiary superintendent or OF
the employees, but that the superin'
tendent has always been on the side
of humanity; justice and mercy, and
that the same is true as to Super.
