they are too old and feeble for good
service. Gentlemen, we present to
you one who saw real service, is Wig
orous in mind and body, and endowed
with every requisite for the Office.
Great as our governors have been,
glorious as haze been their record,
the gubernatorial chair has been filled
by no manlier a man, no truer gen
tleman, no drawer soldier, than he who
is this day presented to you as fit
type of the Confederate veteran. While
we are cursing the false historian of
the past, because he failed to record
their heroic deeds, shall we on this
day make it possible for the future
historian to truthfully say: The
North Carolina Democracy turned its
back upon these immortal men?
I'm the name of this great State,
that he loved SO much. in the name
of her conservative citizens, from
whose ranks he comes; in the name
of all those who admire ValOr in war,
purity in private life, fidelity to pub
lie trust; in the name of those sons
of Confederate soldiers, who arc will
ing to wait; that the heroes them
selves may be honored while they live;
IN the name of twenty-eight thouS-
and living Confederate soldiers, who
have followed the cause of Democracy
Tor forty years, as they followed the
Southern cross for four; in the
name of one hundred thousand Con-
federate soldiers dead who demanded
and received little while they lived,
nominate, for the next governor of
North Carolina, Charles Manly Sted-
man.

DEATH OF CAPT. WILLIAMS
lie Was the Author of the History of
the Thirteenth Regiment.
Especial to News and Observer. }

Oak Ridge, N. c., June 23.-Captain
Rowland s. Williams, of Rockingham
county, died Monday morning of this
week and was buried yesterday after
noon at the old family burying ground
about eight miles from Madison. Cap
tain Williams was in his 64th year,
and was a well known Confederate
soldier among the bravcst of the
brave. He was acting captain of Com
pany I, 18th North Carolina Regiment,
which regiment was actively engaged
in the battles from Williamsburg to
Appomattox. Captain Williams was
the author of the history of the 18th
regiment in the North Carolina Re-
cords. and though a man without the
usual literary training succeeded in
writing a history of his regiment which
in readableness is probably unsurpass-
ed by any regimental history in those
volumes. 1t has been so pronounced
by good judges.
\Captain Williams was engaged until
within a year in the mercantile bust
ness at this place, but sold out and
moved to his native county about one
year ago. He had built himself
beautiful home and was apparently
we'll fixed to spend his remaining days
in comfort and happiness. He was a
man who won the respect of all who
knew him by his rigid honesty and the
upright character of his life.

ing urged by papers irrespective OF

wherever it 10 possible to reduce a
felony charge to q misdemsanor, il is
too frequently done il the defendant
can pay the fine. There is possibly no
way to prevent the corrupt settlement
of cases out of court by the payment

one district, though it should be said
that it is not likely to happen again

stern and just judge who shall keep in

forbid the carrying out OF such ar

of the courts, and would insure far
better enforcement of the law than is

POOR OLD CHICAGO.

Chicago will doubtless not recover
in many day from the horrible Iro-
quois theater disaster. Some OF the
theaters will never reopen and the city
seems dead. While there should be
ample protection at all times for hu-
man life, there does not appear to be
any necessity for getting hysterical
and carrying it to such an extreme. 1t
would be about as sensible because an
awful wreck happened ON some rail
road TO stop all the trains from run
ming.
Speaking of present conditions in
Chicago, paper says:
"Hotel guests remain in their rooms
nobody comes downtown at night, res
taurants are as silent and sepulchral
as a church; and when one sojourner

JAMES TO THE FRONT.

Representative Ollie James, of Ken
tcky, has introduced in congress bill
providing that no civil law suit
brought or pending in state courts shall
be transferred to United States
court on account of diverse citizenship
Of the litigants, unless the amount Of
controversy exceeds $4,000.
Whatever reason Congressman James
II az give for wanting this law passed,
it is palpable that it's purpose is only
to keep all damage suits agains. rail
roads and other corporations in the
state courts, where country juries can
get q whack at them.
The federal courts these days are
about tie only places railroads and 9TH
er corporations have an equal chance
for justice. Federal judges as rule
are able men, aud their appointment
for life gives them more incentive TO
decide points coming before them in
an equitable way, than if they were de-
pendent on popularity and pull for
their jobs, which is the case with
many circuit judges. In fact, very
inferior men are in many states placed
not only on the circuit bench, but even
on the appellate bench. Some Of them
are not even considered good lawyers
where they were raised and pr scticed.
This, together with the class of men
usually on juries, has made the state
courts mere lotteries, with heavy odd;
against the monied interests. Hence
law ers of a certain class prefer the
state courts.
At present case cannot be trans
ferred from the civil to federal courts
unless the amount is $4,000 or more
This is why you often see where som'
one has brought salt for 1899. 1t il

James bill is to raise the limit from
$4,000 to $4,000. 1t is a good meas
ure for shyster lawyers, who will hal

And all the saints are dead;
But the green turf's just beneath you,
And the blue skies overhead;
And the poorest man is rich enough
To bless his daily bread.

But, as it rolls along,
1t helps to light the pathway
Where the consultations throng;
And it's mighty close to Heaven
With it'd sunlight and its song.
