NOTE AND COMMENT.

Tho publication Of the rolls Of York
and Ebenezer townships today COM
pletes the rolls of the county with the
exception Of Bethel and Catawba town.
ships. 1t is hoped that the rolls, of
these townships will be shortly filed
with the clerk Of the court.
In it's advertisement today, the
Strauss Smith company calls attention
to the fact that there has been an al
legged misunderstanding Of its enlarged
picture offer. The practice Of this firm
has been to give an enlarged portrait
with each purchase Of SIS worth OF
goods for cash and on the pay
ment of from $3.50 or $3.50 for a
frame, the additional cash payment
being regulated by the quality of
the frames desired. Most custom
ers have taken the offer In good
faith: but some have sought to claim
that on the purchase Of SIS worth OF
goods, they are entitled to a portrait
without the frame. While there Is no
question of the fact there Is in the
firms proposition that which seems to
furnish pretext for such claim, 1t is
hardly conceivable that any customer
could have honestly and sincerely con-
strued that he had a claim to any part
of the picture offer until he had paid
the $3.50 or $3.50 as the case may be, In
full compliance with the proposition.

THE GENERAL SESSIONS.

The summer term of the court OF
general sessions convenes next Monday
and contrary to the outlook Of few
weeks ago. the probability Is that the
entire week will hardly suffice for the
pending business.
On the first day of June, the only
case that seemed to call for more
than a few hours, was that Of the
State against F.. P. H. Nevins, charged
with assault and battery with intent to
kill. Now besides this case, there are
three murder cases and either Of them
may call for day or more.
The Nevins case, as Is pretty general
ly understood, has grown out Of a row

not yet been obtained. SO far the wise

so, and will express himself squarely
as to sound money and tariff reform
both Of which he advocates withou,

assumes that the matter Of his nomi-
nation is Of small Importance. The
facts Of the matter, as we take 1t, are
about ikel this: Mr.. Cleveland does
not know whether he will be the nom.
inee or not. He Is not seeking nomi-
nation, and he has no desire to be
president again; but the situation In
wolves a great deal more than his per.
sonal preference. AS the result Of the
party wanderings during the past sew
en- years, sentiment is beginning to rur
in a strong current toward the victor

administration the country has hac

that If 1t Is success the party wants

banner. This feeling is not especially
strong among the politician class be-
cause It Is a well-known and practi'
cally indisputable fact that while the
politicians have been able to ruir
Cleveland's administrations they have
not been able to rule him. 1t Is with
the great mass Of voters that the
Cleveland sentiment Is strong and the
question as to whether or not the ex'
president will be re-nominated de-
pends for sentiment on whether or no
rank and file Of the party should as

such an event Mr.. Cleveland would nj
doubt accept a nomination. Otherwise
he is not to be considered as a possible
factor in the next campaign.

Wildcat Insurance.
Columbia Record: The comptroller
general has lately received several let
ters in regard to certain insurance
companies doing business in this state
without taking out any license as re-
quired by law. So many Of these com

Comptroller Jones issued a letter
quoting the law, and stating his inter.
probation of the same. The law, sec.
ton COZ, criminal code, expressly
states that any one soliciting insurance
business without the company first
securing a license, may be arrested
and brought before a magistrate and
fined 500 for each time a policy has
been solicited. This applies to indi-
viduals, and section 1898 Of the civil
code states that the company Itself
may be fined a sum not exceeding 81,
900 nor less than $500 to be recovered
by suits, the whole amount to be re-
tanned by the party suing, provided he
holds a policy in the company. 1t Is
likely that summary proceedings will

THE SOUTHERN TRACK.
About Three Thousand Laborers En-
aaqed on tho Work.

More than 5000 laborers are engaged
in the work Of double tracking the
Southern railway from Washington to
Atlanta, and the undertaking Is being
hurried to completion. The following
statement about the work was made by
prominent railroad official:
1.-THE large force Of hands," he said
numbering 5000 or more, are quar-
tered in tents from Orange to Alexan-
dria. The work Is being done by
squads of hands, 200 or 300 In each
squad. There are several overseers tc
each squad and Capt. J. A. Dodson has
general supervision over the entire
force.
"Along the line of work the farmers
are reaping harvest Of money by sup.
plying hands with milk, vegetables ano
such like. The men are paid Off week
ly, and, as Is usually the case, the Ne
groes spend about all they make at the
nearest town. ..
AS has been stated, President Samue
Spencer figures that double track
ing the system from Washington to
Atlanta will cost about $25,000,000. A
large amount of this vast sum Will be
paid out to day laborers
"At present the surveyors and en-
gineers are working between Danville
and Greensboro. 1t will be some time
before the actual work Of double-track-
ing will begin on this division, as 1t is
the wish of the Southern officials thai
the work be completed between Alex
andria and Lynchburg before the star
Is made on any other section OF the
road.
"The twenty miles of double track
now almost completed Is being ballas.
ted four feet deep. In this respect the
new trackage Is much better than the
present main line.
Capt. J. A. Dodson, who has charge
of the work, has more than 5000 mer
engaged in the work. Most Of this
number are Negroes, who came from
the farms Of the south. This wholesale
exodus of Negro farm labor to thai
section explains In q measure the
scarcity Of help throughout this sec.
ton.
when the work first started large
number. Of Italians were employed tc
work with the Negro laborers. 1t was
not very many days before trouble OF
serious nature resulted. The Negroes
refused to work with the foreigners ano
big strike was imminent Those 1r
charge Of the different squads held 6
consultation, and 1t was decided to dc
away as far as 1t was possible with
the italian laborers and fill their places
with Negroes. Emigrant agents were
again started south and carload after
carload Of Negroes were taken to Or
ange and given work. Since this ac'
ton was taken very little trouble has
been experienced."-News and Courier

"A COMPLAINANT against race preju-
dice relates a little incident to prove
his assertion that the Negro Is as bad
ly treated in New York as he Is in
the SOUTH" says the correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Ledger. "The other
day a Negro girl. who looked like a
Chinese. applied to a school for train
ing nurses in this city. But aren't you
Chinese?' asked the man in charge.
No. 1 am a Negress,' replied the girl.
Well. if you are willing to pass as a
Chinese think we can arrange to ad-
NIT YOU replied the man. The girl
declined the proposition. Another
grievance of the champion Of the Ne
groes is that the latter cannot get
places as statesmen and saleswomen If
it Is known that they are Negroes.
There are few exceptions to this rule.

between Nevins, g. former policeman at
Fort Mill, and r. L. Kirby, an employee
of the Catawba Power company. The
case was triea at the last term Of the
court, and the testimony Of great
horde Of witnesses consumed a constd-
erable amount Of time, all to no pur-
pose, because the jury was unable to
agree upon a verdict The probability
Is that all the same old straw will have
to be threshed over again.
The first murder case in the order OF
it's occurrence, is that Of the State
against Tom Bailey. Bailey, who. Is a
Negro, killed Arthur Frazer, another
Negro, in Fort Mill township on June
Il. So far as THE ENQUIRER has infor-
nation there were no eye witnesses.
The evidence against the defendant Is
not especially strong. !. o. J.
The next murder case Is that OF the
State against William Harper, who
killed A. A. Dillinger in Bethel town
ship on June Is. According to the
stories told Immediately after the kill
ing, it appeared that Harper could not
have done anything else than what he
did; but since then there. has been a
more thorough examination Of the mat
ter from the other side,, and although
but little direct evidence can be offered
against the defendant, thereis a feeling
in the neighborhood that possibly he
was more blamable than has appeared.
The probability Is that the state Will
prosecute with much energy.
The third case. that Of the: State
against ]. r. McLester for the murder
of Jack Foskett, is still quite fresh In
the public mind, 1t having developed
only on the 23d Of June last. People
who have inquired into this affair look
upon 1t as serious; but as to whether
the state will have great deal Of
backing is rather doubtful as sympa-
thy in the neighborhood Of the killing
is generally in favor Of McLester.
OF the foregoing only McLester and
Bailey are in Jail. The other prisoners
in Jail are: Will Jenkins, charged
with larceny Of live stock; Thaddeus
Lynn, HOUSEKEEPING and larceny; Jake
Whit Wright, breach Of the peace.
Among the prisoners committed to
ljail and released on bond are the fol-
lowing: Alec Thompson. disturbing q
religious meeting; Charley Floyd, riot:
James Hammond, assault and battery
with intent to kill. Besides these
number of defendants have been bound
over by various magistrates.

withstanding his condition. he has done

That is as true as anything that has
lately been said on the subject. In
it's comment on the Booker Washing
ton dinner THE ENQUIRER said that
the Negro would have saved his race

The Confederate Rolls.

Including the names appearing In to-
days issue, THE ENQUIRER has pub
lished the Confederate rolls Of all the
townships Of the county save two.
AS stated at the outset, the object
of the publication Of these rolls, was
for the purpose of aiding in securing
as much accuracy as possible.
OF course, hundreds Of people have
seen that none Of these rolls are COM
plete; but at the same time, If they
will think a moment, they will not seek
to reflect in the slightest upon the
intelligence or efficiency Of the old SOL
diers who have borne the burden Of the
work. On the contrary, they will have
cause to. wonder not that the work is
80 incomplete; but that 1t Is as COM
plete as it Is.
1t has been forty-two years since the
breaking out Of the war and there have
been many changes in that time. Some
men were killed, some died, some
moved to other parts Of the country.
Consider that there were from 300 to
400 soldiers from say, York township,
scattered in different commands, and
then think Of the idea of one or two old
soldiers going to work and making a
list of all Of them, giving their names,
initials, company and regiments. Is
it not something wonderful?
There are omissions and other mac
curacies in the list published today, as
in the lists that have been published
before; but there is no occasion to
blame anybody. On the contrary, the
men who have done the work are enti-
tied to the sincere thanks Of all con-
cerned, and these thanks we hope they
will receive.
