WANTED TO MOB l1cBEE.

The New Bern Journal. of last Sa1
urday, gives the following accou- -.
the arrival of the officials of =
road from Raleigh after -
OF the order dismissing -H..-a-.
"As is already know
Caroiina station -tlantic and North
20 uyeIcoma RI yesterday morning
..Disnstch- -e victorious officials.
cd thai -es from Raleigh announc-
in an a %recker McBee would put
we- ~epearance also. Perhaps there
- n or two in h crowd who
could nave gladly welcomed Mack
perhaps SO, may be not. Anyway.
there were some people there who
were just waiting for the arrival Of
McBee, thinking any old thing might
happen.
"As the train drew up and the fire
works began 10 pop. a bowed figure
was seen darling through the crowd
and away. Some one shouted Nc
Bee and a chase began. The figure
made a bee line to the fish pond in
the rear Of the offices. There was a
splash, a screaming and a poor. half
drowned, scared to death negro was
fished out OF the pond.
THE negro was a cook on the work
train. and had no doubt been listen
ing to some OF the complaints be-
slowed on McBee by other employees"
It is evident that there were per-
sons in the crowd intent on doing
some bodily harm to Mr.. McBee on
his arrival. Had it been he instead
Of a negro chased by the mob he
would have been roughly handled.
There seems to be no doubt that only
his absence prevented a proceeding
on the part of the crowd which chas-
ed the negro that would have been
a disgrace to New Bern and to the
state.
Had Mr.. McBee been present who
would have been responsible for his
being mobbed by the crowd of ad-
herents of President Bryan and the
other officials of the road? Who but
those newspapers which day after day
since the appointment of h receiver
have published violent and denuncia-
tory articles on Mr.. McBee? These
infammatory editorials nae so stirred
the passions and excited the resent
ment of the New Bern people that
some of them were ready to proceed
to mob violence to give expression to
their anger against the men Of whom
they have had it dinged into their
ears that they were con~spirators,
frauds, Observation-Disclosures to rob
the people OF New Bern and the state
out of their property in a most dis
graceful and lawless manner. The
crowd "a been melted by these edi-
torials to the pitch that it felt it
would be justified ia anyact Of vio-
lence to these men. This is freedom
of the press with a vim.

~PERNICIOUS POLITICS..

The Wilson Times says a candidate
in hat town is reported as advertis-
ing himself as the candidate of the
masses against the classes"
He who sows the wind shall reap
the whirlwind. If the sower. alone
would reap the consequent whirwind
it would not so much matter. In fact
it would be a good radiance, for any
man who strives for any purpose to
stir UP one class of society against an
other is a menace to good government
and to the welfare of his community.
But the trouble is that persons who
take 10 part in the sowing of such
wind suffer also in the devastating
whirlwind. There can be no more
vicious and harmful position taken
by a politician or a candidate for Of
flee than that of being the representa-
tive of one class of our people against
another. The only safe rule for gov
eminent in a republic is that of a line
of action by the governing power
which insureS the greatest good to the
largest number of people. Govern
ment-the freest kind of government
is based on a compromise of inter-
ests. Each member of society must
give up some of his natural freedom
for the benefit of others and for the
general good Of society. There can
be no free government without it.
Without this there would be either
despotism in which the people have
few or no rights, or anarchy in which
with each individual might is right.
We have no classes" as distin-
guished from the masses" in this
country, and no man can bring about
such a condition SO long rs our free
institutions exist. Men may. for heir
own selfish aims, attempt to show
that such exists, but in doing so they
do harm to those whose cause they
pretend to advocate. Any man who
undertakes to draw such a distinc-
ton in society and to array one set of
people against another should be
Stunned by all, especially by those
whose cause he pretendS to champion.
He is their worst enemy. He is using
them as stepping stones to realize his
selfish ambition and after he has so
used them has no more interest in
their welfare and would not hesitate
to turn against them and attempt
their ruin if he could climb higher
thereby.
Shun the man who sets himself up
as he champion of n class of So
ciety against another. He is the en-
envy OF all society.

white man George Daniels. who a
been confined in, gail here under death
sentence for the murder OF Will Max
well in Duplin county last fall, has
been given a new trial by the Supreme
court. Right after his trial when he
was convicted and sentenced he was
brought here for safe keeping. 1t is
charged that he went into the woods
where Maxwell was at work and shot
him down without warning.
The Secretary of State has been asked
for a charter for the Goldsboro Shoe
Company. a new enterprise which will
soon begin operations in this city. Am
pie stock has been promptly Subscrib-
ed. The stockholders are Captain N.
O'Berry, Geo. c. Royal. J. M. Allen,
r. G.. Jenkins, A. H. Edgerton. Murray
Borden and other active business men
of the city. Mr.. j. M. Allen, who will
Ina the business, has devoted his
entire time for eighteen years to the
shoe business; sixteen years Of that
time as a travelling salesman and then
remaining W years in a retail and
wholesale shoe store. He is we'll known
to the trade throughout the Eastern
part Of the state n is one of the best
posted shoe men in the south. AS soon
as the stock of goods can be procured
from the manufacturers, the company
will begin business and enter upon a
career of success.
The election which has been called
in Goldsboro township and and in New

to have met with very general approx
al. Most everybody in Goldsboro and
in the township through which the
o will run is anxious for the. rail-
road to be built. 1t will not only help
each section in a business way, but it
viii afford a convenience for reaching
the springs which has not been enjoy
ed heretofore. Hundreds of people
from this city visit the springs every
year and more would go if a railroad
should be built.
Hon. III. B. Parker. Jr., who was Sc
riously injured in a railroad wreck on
the Southern railroad this side of Ra-
leigh last May. and who has been
suing the company since that time,
has accepted a compromise offer of the
Southern by which he gets Sc. 500 and all
costs paid. He signed the judgment
yesterday. This offer was made by the
attorneys of the road after they had
been to Richmond and consulted the
specialists under whose care Mr..
Parker had been. The attorneys were
informed that Mr.. Parker was very Sc
riously injured. He suffers now a
great deal with his spine and left lung,
which is badly shrunken. The compa-
ny first offered $500 and Mr.. Parker
offered to take 81, 500. The offer of S.
500 was then made and MI. Parker,
while he did not think it half he should
receive, decided to accept it rather than
go into a trail. which would have made
his condition worse.

FRIDAY, MARCH rs 1904.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT THE IS
SUE.

We referred on yesterday to the long
conference at the White house Sunday
night between Nh. Roosevelt and
Booker Washington. The subject uA-
der discussion at that interview. it is
now announced, was the ~lynchings of
negroes at the south. A Washington
dispatch quotes washington as saying:
1.-The conference was about negro
Iynching in the south and the president
If reelected n free to act without
political consideration would stop
lynchings at any cost"
If this be true, and no doubt it is,
there is here much food for serious
thought by the white men OF the south.
If this is Mr.. Roosevelt's attitude on
this question it is Of vital Importance
to this section that he be defeated for
the presidency. His election would
mean federal INTERCHANGEABLE force
and arms if necessary to carry his
point-with the local affairs in the
south. 1t would mean riots and blood
shed. The southern people are not go
ing to put up again with what they
a suffered in the past from repub-
lican domination.
For Mr.. Roosevelt to assume such a
position would be the worst. the most
cruel thing he could do to the negro
of the south.
II Mr.. Roosevelt enters upon his new
term as president with such intentions
the best thing the negroes can do would
be to hasten their immigration to the
north. But where shall they go? Not
to Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, New York
or Massachusetts. for in these and most
other northern states they are subject
ed to greater mob violence than at the
south and are not allowed to follow
their occupations for their daily bread.
Philadelphia would be the only asylum
left open for them. This would be. their
> only refuge from the too strenuous
friendship Of their champion. When
Mr.. Roosevelt begins his crusade
against lynching at the south then
should Booker Washington assume in
fact the role of the Moses of his race,
grid up his loins, and with his staff
in his hand lead MI. Roosevelt's chosen
people to the promised and on the
banks of the Scuylkill, where they
will find the ward politicians, the vote
buyers and the election fraud
of the republican party awaiting them
with open arms. On to Philadelphia
should be the cry from Maryland to
Texas.
Every utterance and every action OF
Mr.. Roosevelt regarding the. south
shows more clearly the danger to the
peace and quiet OF this section that
would result from his election. The
southern democrats can compass his
defeat in one way and in one way only
by throwing aside party differences
and uniting on a man for their candi-
date for the presidency who can carry
the solid south and those states Of the
north necessary to secure his election.
This is no time for southern democrats
to be quarreling about questions of fl
nance. foreign policy or even the tariff.
They must get together on this one is
Sue-Theodore Roosevelt.

Sentiment Crystalizing on Parker.

The capture OF the first delegates
to the St. Louis convention by Hearst.
though intended as a spectacular coup
by him, has had the effect of crys-
taIizing public sentiment in the demo-
cratic ranks on Judge Parker. The
Atlanta Journal claims that already
there is a certainty that he will have
$40 votes in h convention, from the
following states: New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Indiana. Georgia.. Alabama
Tennessee, Louisiana, South Carolina.
Mississippi and Texas. The same pa
per has interviewed the senators and
representatives from southern states.
with the following striking result. OF
% senators interviewed there were
for Parker z. for German z. for any
conservative candidate" 6. for Cock
rell l.. no choicet 4.
Representatives interviewed num-
bered 81. There were, for Parker As,
for German 4. for Cleveland j, for Oh
ney for Bailey 1, for Hearst 1. for
any conservative candidate" 4. no
choice at present 5.
That is quite significant
The fact IS that the Hearst move
ment has changed the democratic
programme. The plan originally was
10 send uninstructed delegates to St.
Louis. But New York is going to
lead the way by i~nstructing for Par
ker. That much is certain. Other
democratic states had as well fall in
line. The act that sentiment has
crystalized upon him so m~arvelously
in the last few days shows that he is
regarded as the most available can
didate We are in favor Of North
Carolina's instructing for Parker and
by the time the convention meets We
have no doubt hat she will do SO.
Instructions are in order now as the
best means of ruarantining against
the yellow fever.-CharIotte News.

The last recruit in the ranks of
those republicans who are voluntar-
lily selecting presidential candidates
for the democratic party is Congress
man G~rosvenor, of Ohio, who tells the
Virginia democrats that they should
insist on the party choosing a candi-
date from the south. Were he demo-
Gratis to do so, he would be the first
northern republican to renew the
howl about. the southern brigadier in
the addle.

that he had, to remain with his street
clothing off. This occurred at inter-
walls Of about al hour until sever

indeed strange and the young man is
