AN AGED WIDOW ROBBED.
After Years OF Struggle to Undo a
Wrong Committed by Her Husband.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, June 22.-Mrs. Annie
Brzobohata, an aged widow, has been
robbed of $1,700 which she had been
accommodating during sixteen years to
be used as part recompense for a
wrong committed by her husband.
The money was kept beneath cup
board in the house Through nearly
two decades Mrs. Brzobohata struggled
and suffered to raise a fund which at
her death might be left to Miss Marie
Cross, whose father was killed by
Brzobohata in a quarrel years ago, and
who for several years has made her
home with Mrs. Brzobohata.
Brzobohata was convicted and sent
to the penitentiary, but on his release
he joined his wife in the plan to care
for Cross daughter.
After BrZobohata's death, two years
ago, the widow redoubled her efforts
and made more rigid her economy, as
she was nearing seventy years. But
thief has undone the work of years,
and friends of the widow fear the loss
will have a serious effect upon her.

WEBB THE CHOICE

Gastonia, n. c.. June 22.-There
was but one voice in the Democratic
Congressional convention of the Ninth
district that assembled here today, and
that voice was for E. Yates Webb.
His constituency proved their love for
him and their satisfaction in his man
ner of serving them by re-nominat-

this token of faith and esteem. Mr.
Webb addressed the convention, say
ing among other things:
1--WE are met here today for the pur-
pose of assisting in organizing TO fight
our comon enemy-the Republican
party. And what is this Republican
party, which is now seeking the votes
of the citizens of North Carolina?
What is it's record? What has it done
to merit the support of good citizens?
What does North Carolina owe it? In
1868, when many of our best men
were disfranchised and others per
mitted to vote in ballot boxes hedged
about by bristling Federal bayonets,
and after sending the election returns
to Charleston, S. c., to be counted by
a Federal general the Republicans

MOVER FROM HIS PRISON CELL
He Looks to the Ballot in November to
Settle Labor Troubles.
(By the Associated Press.)

Cripple Creek, Col. June 22.-ln
reply to a telegram from an Eastern
newspaper, Charles H. Meyer, pres1-
dent of the Western Federation of Mi
ners who is now a prisoner IN the
county Jail here has sent an extended
statement on the present conditions IN
the State from his viewpoint. Mf.
Meyer says in part:
THE deportation of the union men
and others being, in my opinion un-
lawful. the Western Federation of
Miners will use all lawful means to
re-establish their members in their
homes. No violence will be resorted
to, but such legal steps as may be nee
essary to bring about the desired re-
suits will be taken at the proper time.
Pending such action deported mem
bers and their families will be sup
ported by the Federation.
General Bell claims that his pollcy
has been successful and that other
States are expected to follow suit. Ii
this be true then rebellion is not inn
probable, as the great majority Of the
American people are today condemn
ing,s such a system regardless of union
ism, would bitterly resist any attempt
to put the same into practice. 81 dlsa-
gree with the general as to the labor
troubles being settled in Colorado, but
do believe they will be settled by the
ballot in the month of November"

To Oxford Saturday.

The following has been sent this
paper with a request to publish:
zone of the most pleasant excur-
sions that has been arranged for this
season from Raleigh is that to Oxford,
on ST Johns Day. Leave here at
1880 a. M, on return, leave Oxford at
$50 D. m, going and returning in the
coolest part of the day. No change of
cars. Distance not too far nor too
near. 1t is a gala day for old Gran
Vile Go and see for yourselves what
is being done for the unfortunates in
that grand institution. 1t is worth
your while to go and see the happy
smiling faces of the children, and the
reception they give the Grand Lodge
of Masons, as they march through the
open ranks of $50 little ones to the
grand stand. God bless them. 1t
makes one feel proud that he is a Ma
son or the friend of the noble order.
Now as to the barbecue, please read
the poster fine" instead of free" as
the cold type has it, then you will read
it correct. No one would think of go
ing to an orphan asylum to get a free
dinner, unless he was an orphan. if
families so desire they can take lunch
with them, or they can get barbecue
at a reasonable price; also ice cream
and lemonade, and a plenty of free wa
ter. There is no doubt about the free
water. If the day is favorable two to
three thousand people will be present.
1t is a great day for old Granville.

If the people of Raleigh want to
have baseball here this summer they
must show it by coming out and at
tending the games. OF the nine men
who compose the team, seven are crack
college players and there is no reason
why we should not have some inter-
esting games this suS1mer. The men
have been playing tor the past few
weeks under very poor encouragement,
and unless some action is taken short
ly towards putting the team on a firm
basis, the games will come to an end
altogether. Every other town and city
in the State has a baseball team-why
shouldn't Raleigh have one? The boys
are willing to play if the citizens of
Raleigh will stand by them.
Maj. j. j. Bernard has been man
aging the team and backing it up
financially, but says the people of Raj
eigh must show some interest if the
games are to continue.
The thing to do is for all interested
parties to form themselves into a
Raleigh Baseball Association" and
put the team out on a firm basis. Lets
have some communication from inter-
ested parties; talk it over with Maj.
Bernard and get things underway for
a great ball season in Raleigh.

rupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit
But our people had forgotten this
Injunction of st. Matthew. and in 1894
agreed to give this same old party
another opportunity to run the State
government. Instead of improving
their record of 1868 for crime, cor
ruption, scandal and disgrace, they
eXcelled their conduct in the days
of 186S-70, and again in 1867, law
lessness and violence were abroad in
the land. Negroes held public office
in almost every eastern county. White
women were afraid to remain at home
alone in the day time. County gov
ernmentS in the east wore turned to
the absolute control of the negro, and
the proud cities of Wilmington and
New Bern were disgraced by negro
rule. Public Office was bought and
sold with shameful boldness. Corrup-
ton and scandal infested almost every
department of the State government.
The Hancock scandal, the Babb scan
dal, Martin stealing and Kirby Smith
scandals were. and are still a stencil
in the nostris of good people. So
shameful was the record of this same
old party that in 1898 the white yoe-
many of the State rose in their might
and hurled it from power.
This was only six years ago, and
today we find their leaders again, with
bra2en effrontery, asking the white
people of the State, whom it has dis
graced, during two separate periods III
