Wilson, \. c., May 1S.-The Jones
murder is still the talk of the town.
Those under arrest, who thought for
| the first few days that their confinement
would only last a few days are begin
ming 10 realize how serious a position
they are in. While bail was allowed for
five of the conspirators only two have
been able to furnish the amount named
by Judge Brown, these being S. J.. Walls
II Lawrence Morgan. 1t vas reported
On the streets Saturday evening that
bail would be furnished for the others
on Monday morning but as yet no eff
fort has been made to have them releas-
ed.
| No killing which has occurred in Will
son for years has caused so much
| comment. The better element of the
town are beginning to realize that the
time has come to put a stop to such
happenings and all are in favor of
| probing the present tragedy to the bot
tom and bring all to justice who were
connected with the affair. While it is
not generally believed that these men
| went to Jones room with the intention
of killing him, yet their position in try
ing to regulate the morals Of the town
does not meet with the approval of the
best element in Wilson, and the fact
Of the lack Of intent to kill does not
| lesson the desire on the part of this
| element to have those guilty brought to
| justice. The fact, which became evil
| dent at the application for bail, that
| all lawyers in town except j. R. UzZell
were employed by those in Jail, caused
| some un~favorable comment, but the
| fact has since developed that there was
! no intention among the prisoners or
| lawyers that this should be the case.
Every person in Jail wanted to employ
a lawyer in his own behalf and as a
| result all were employed, not by any
J one acting in concert for the prisoners
but by each prisoner himself.

That is the cause which produces
so mitch discord in our body polite.
That caas. has been the curse of the
past. and is of the present, and will
be the cause of our republic dropping
ton; and is really today purifying
the manhood and laying bare politi
cal perfidy, that can only be equalled
by the intrigue and rapine of the fol-
lowers of the. Roman tyrants.
The prototype of legislative larceny
is a species of robbery that was be-
gotten in the centralized wealth of
Macedonia, Persia, Egypt, Greece and
Rome. While the Capitalization of
the wealth of those old monarchies
was crude in it's workings, the lar
ceny and the prostitution of the
whole people is so interviewer with
our body polite that it seems almost
impossible for the common people to
get what is justly their due. With
ultra-precision the whole people is
robbed, that the few may live in
palaces, and practice plutocratic phil
anthropy. The whole course of hu-
man progress is strewn with de-
formed humanity, simply because
there is a class who believe in the
privileges of the few.
If we take clear view of the whole
subject, take it not as the partisan,
but as one seeking light, we un-
doubtedly would grasp the idea that
governments, justly administered,
cannot discriminate against any citi-
zen but that the duty of governments
is to guard the rights of the citizen,
and that, too, without regard to his
wealth or his poverty.
In concluding these remarks, we
wish to impress upon our readers that
constitutional governments can be as
oppressive as that of a tyrant. And
monarchical governments can be lib
eral enough for its subjects to enjoy
a large amount of freedom. Where
the whole difference comes in is that
the subject may concede that the
Office Of chief magistrate may, as far
as he is concerned, be inherited by
the royal family; but that the indi-
vidual rights of his fellow subjects
must not be abridged. Therefore,
subject, by Jealous regard for the
rights, not only of himself, but for
every other subject of a monarch,
can enjoy greater liberty than a

HAVE NO TIM &

In q late issue of his journal, Henry
Watterson. the famous Democratic
editor of Kentucky, declares there is
but n chance for the survival OF the
National Democracy, and that chance
consists in the invention of an entirely
no man to represent it. Mr.. Wat
terson. in his editorial, went over
the list of prominent Democrats avail
able for President in 1904 and found
fault with all of them. The nomina-
ton of Cleveland would, he said, ali
enate the West; the nomination OF
BRYAN would ALLEVIATE the East;
while the selection of such a man as
Hill or Jones would invite immediate
defeat. On the whole Mr.. Watterson
took a very respondent view of the
situation. The National Democratic
party has been thoroughly discredited
during the past ten years that it's own
followers no longer give it a hearty
and enthusiastic support, and he dis
cerned in the opinions of the various
factions throughout the country the
germs of another national defeat. In
