The Japanese OF the United States are
raising $l0,000,Oo0 as war fund for
Japan, while the Russians in America
are rapidly taking out citizenship papers
lest they be called out to serve in the
Russian army. The Napoleonic wars
forced all the European countries ex-
cept Russia to dispense with feudal op-
preston and cultivate individual pa
triotism among their people, France
had thrown off the feudal yoke and was
terror among nations. Were it not for
the fact that the English people were
also free enough from feudalism and
strong enough in patriotism, France
would have made Europe one nation.

Gideonite Officers Still Enioined

The following notice taken from
the Norfolk, Wa.0 Dispatch of Oct
18th, will be Of much interest anC
encouragement to the colored people
of Goldsboro and, in fact, of the en-.
tire State of North Carolina.
AS we understand it, there is a
Virginia traternal Order known as
the knights of Gideon, and this
Order has been doing business in
North Carolina for sometime among
the colored people. Early IN the
year, a number of colored men from
G~oldsboro and other sections of the
State, organized and incorporated a
new F%raternal Order, by the name
OF the Reformed Junior knights of
Gideon Mutual Aid Society.
1t seems that the Virginia institu-
ton did not want any competition,
SO 1t went to work to try to prevent
the incorporation of the new Order
in North Carolina under the name
which the Order had chosen. Of
course, the Virginia Colored folks
could not prevent the North Carolina
colored folks from having a home
institution right here in North Caro-
lima.
However, it seems that the Off
GERS of the Virginia Society have
been fighting the North Carolina |
Society right along, and the North
Carolina society secured an iniunc-
ton against the Virginia Society.
and the United States Court has sus-
tanned the North Carolina colored
people, as will be seen from the
notice below.
SIN the United States Court to-day
Judge Waddill overruled a motion
to dissolve the injunction secured

knights of Gideon, against Manor
and other officers of the order, on the
ground that the defendants were
conducting the affairs of the lodge
for their own personal profit. The
plaintiffs to-day asked for an account

The Owl Fast Train ofthe South.
ern Pacific Between Los An
geles and San Francisco
Has Been Discovered.
Bakersfield, Cal, Nov. 24.-An
attempt to wreck the Owl fast train
of the Southern Pacific between Los
Angeles and San Francisco was dis
closed to-day. Three rails were piled
across the track north of here. The
train was not running fast and the
engineer was carefully watching the
track because of a previous effort to
wreck the train only a week ago. He
saw the obstruction and stopped the
locomotive a few feet from the rails.
Since a Matchmaking letter was re-
ceived by the railroad company last
spring, fully a dozen attempts have
been made to wreck trains.

Though Shackled, the Negro Made Good Time With Half Gal
 lon of Whiskey.

Yellville, April 5. Jack Nolin, Marion county's only black ne gro, who escaped the guard and skipped the county, was captured at Batesville three weeks later.
 After escaping the guard here he stole Lum Weist's horse and sold him in Baxter county for $50. He was captured in Bates vile and turned over to Sheriff Perkins, who brought him within one-half mile of the jail, when Jack saw his last chance and he jumped out of the hack with the shackles on one leg and outran the sheriff, carrying with him a half gallon of whisky belonging to some one in his place. How ever, he was captured about three hours later in a bunch of cedars drinking. He was bound over to the next court.

Stuart for mayor was elected, defeating the straight Democratic ticket headed by L. A. Wheatley, by 130 ma- iority. A large number of Demo- crats, some of the party leaders, supported the citizens ticket on the alleged ground that the nomi- nation of the Wheatley ticket was irregular and against the will of the majority of the Demo- cratic party.
 On the Arkansas side of town the Democratic ticket, headed by Tnos. A. Brewer for mayor, was elected without opposition.

LIGHT VOTE AT PINE BLUFF.


 Pine Bluff, April 5.-The city election passed off very quietly today, and, aside from the fact that the saloons were closed, very few noted the election at all. An extremely light vote was boiled by the Democrats, and the Republicans cast a small scattering vote. So far as can be learned, not a negro voted at any of the polling places.
 The following Democrats were elected: City attorney, W. F. Coleman; city clerk, Dan Taylor; aldermen, Fred Fox, H. Riley, Charles Well and J. A. Clement. The officers were all elected for the second term with the excep- ton of Mir. Taylor, who defeated R. Lee Johnson, the present m cumbent, for the Democratic nomination. Scarcely 300 votes were boiled.
