POLITICS IN DUBLIN.
A MIXED Situation-Robbcry as FIRE.
mont-Goldsboro Man Robbed N
the Fair.

Especial to The Messenger.1
Goidsboro. -. c.. October S-The DO
liticai situation In Duplir; couaty Is
right much mixed up on account Of an
order made BY the Democratic county
convention in reference TO I road tax.
The convention ordered that the aues-
ton OF a road tax be submitted 10 the
voters OF the county and then went on
TO say that only those who shall vote
for the Democratic nominees on the
day OF election shall be eligible 20 vote
in the road tax election. This order
has raised quite q disturbance among
those VIC will not vote for the Demo-
cratic nominees and who own property.
Some Democrats are opposed TO the
manner OF holding the election as un-
democratic. The Republicans claim
that they have been d~isfranchised.
The chief OF police here has a white
elephant on his hands. On the train
rriv here yesterday forenoon from
Raleigh was a negro bearing n tag
marked Joe Singletary, Goldsboro. y. c.
A police officer noticed the tag and
made inquiries from the negro. He
could tell nothing but showed papers
from his pocket which told OF his dis
charge from the p~enitentlary on the LIST
OF October. Little attention was paid
TO the negro until last night when 4
message was received at police head
quarters stating that a negro IN the
northern part OF the city was acting
In a suspicious manner. An investiga-
ton showed that the negro had gone
into a home and asked for something 10
eat which was given him. He sat down
On the doorsteps and ate his supper and
then went back into the house and de-
manded coffee. He went into a store
and acted suspiciously. The police went
after him and locked him up. He Is
still in the city guard house. The chief
is afraid TO turn him out. He seems
perfectly harmless. but IL he should go
prowling around 4 residence late IT
night he might get killed. He seems 70
have completely lost his mind. II he
ever had any.
A telephone message TO the chief OF
police here this morning brought the
information thtt thieves had entered
the store Of Yelverton Bros. in Fremont
last night and had stolen a quantity Of
goods. There is no clue TO who did the
stealing.
The man William Horne who was
found IN a livery stable last night In
Raleigh in an unconscious condition
and his honey all gone. was a resident
Of this city and had been working I'm n
harness shop for Captain j. w. Lamb
for the last fifteen years. He was n
good clever fellow. but was not consid-
cred very bright. when he left here to
go TO the fair on Thursday he had about
$25 in his pockets. Captain Lamb has
given Instructions to ave him taken
care of.
