Negro Emigrants All Afoot.

Between Charlotte and Salisbury are
strewn about Is negro emigrants, all
afoot. The negroes left Charlotte on No.
40 on the Southern Monday night, bound
for Baltimore, Md, and Culpepper, Va.
They had been gotten together by a
white and q colored emigrant agent
working in conjunction. Accord
to the story of few of the ne
groes, who happened to have some money
and who returned to the city yesterday,
the white man told them to get on the
train and that he would get on at the
junction, northeast of the city, with
their transportation. Capt w. M. Giles
was the conductor in charge of No. 40,
and when he went into the car to collect
fares not single man could ante up,
They said that the agent who told them
to get on the train was in the train some
where with their transportation, and
Capt. Giles passed Concord. When near
Salisbury the gentleman had not vet
turned up, and Capt. Giles ordered the
train cleared of dusky emigrants, and
the seyenty-tive piled out. The disap-
pointed emigrants boarded some of the
South bound trains to return to the city
yesterday morning, but they had no
money, and they wore forced out of the
cars, and the greater number of them
started out to walk back to Charlotte.
few arrived last night, swearing that
they had enough of emigrant agents and
others are still en- route and will got in
this morning. The whereabouts of the
agent remains mystery.-Charlotte

VINO Cares Tor Expenses 2"

The last Legislature was very
liberal in its appropriations. Ii il
was not an extrayagaut body it came
very near being one. A few figures
will enable our readers to decide
whether it exceeded the limits Of
liberality and can be charged with
exEavagance.
For the fiscal year 1903 the total
appropriations general, legislative
and under joint resolutions amouted
to $1,132,000.
For 1904 the appropriations are :
General, 81, zoo, ,405; legislative >.
$50, making l,245,955, or s.. ,55
more than for 1908. This st, .nent
does not include special appropria-
tions made by joint resolutions.
These will run the figures up to a
much larger amount.
One of the arguments in favor of
biennial sessions was that $4,000
would be saved every year by cut
ting out a legislative session. The
action of the Legislature was not
consistent with its action in appro.
priating such an excess over what
was sufficient in 1908. Counting in
appropriations under joint resolutions
this Legislature appropriated money
enough to pay for three legislative
sessions.-Abbeville Medium.
