THE STATES WORST ENEMIES

The little handful of Sir Oracles in
North Carolina, who think the only way
to be right is to oppose everything that
is distinctively North Carolinlan, invarla-
blv take sides against the State in every
controversy.
When a Republican president invites
negro to dine at the White House. they
qualiiedly approve or abuse those who
criticize it as ''provincials."
When North Carolina hotel keeper
opens his dining room to negroes and
makes white people eat in a side room,
they pooh-pooh the criticisms and de-
nounce as "Yaller" the journals that pro
test against putting the bottom rail on
top
When a North Carolina preacher pre-
diets that blood will run on the streets
because of injustice to the negroes, they
grow wrathy because the best sentiment
of the State condemns such incendlary
and dangerous prophecies.
When a North Carolina professor de-
clares that the race question can be set
tied only on the basis of equality and
miscegenation, they hurl epithets at all
men who are true enough to denounce
such a solution and call them opponents
of free speech and enemies of 1.-The illimit-
able freedom of the human mind" In
the meantime they display a spirit of
prescription and illiberality toward all
who cling to Southern convictions.
When gang of railroad wreckers,
through corrupt agents, buy States SOW
ereignty in order to maintain suit
against North Carolina, they take sides
with Russell, Butler and South Dakota, and
the rest, against the just position their
own State has assumed since 1879.
When railroad spectators, bent on a
policy of rule or ruin, conspire to injure
valuable property of the State in order
to compel a lease to themselves, this same
crowd lines up with the conspirators and
against the State.
When a Federal Court judge, while out
side his district, gives the States valuable
property over into the hands of man who
is trying to compel the State to lease it
to him. the same crowd joins hands with
| the Federal Judge and against their own
State helping to confirm power that
may put every corporation in the State
| in the hands of a receiver at the unre-
strained will of a Federal Judge.
These are the most recent instances OF
the policy of the enemies of the State,
who. mad because they could not carry it
bodily into the Republican party, lend
their influence to any gang of free-booters
and enemies who would impose unjust
burdens upon the State, iniure its proper
| ty, destroy its best traditions, and tear
down the very foundation upon which the
State rests.
And yet these Sir Oracles, who always
are against the true interests of the State,
expect the honest people of North Caro-
| lima to heed their unpatriotic counsel.
Whenever the people speak. they stand for
the honor, the traditions and the proper
| ty rights of this good State and against
those who always stand with those who
would destroy its good name, injure its
property, and destroy the very mud-sills
Of its civilization.

McGovern up- percut with his left, and they clinched McGoyern sent pretty right to Neirs jaw, but the latter smiled and winked at his father, who was standing in his corner.
 Neil landed a hard left to the jaR and they clinched. McGovern uppereut as they broke away, and Neil drove his right to the stomach before they could get away. They clinched, and when McGovern stepped back he was receiv- ed with vicious right to the wind McGovern rushed but was met with a straight left. He rushed again and landed hard right to the jaw which shook Neirs head. They were clinch- ing at the bell.
 Round S--Neil rushed and landed a left to the face and missed a similar blow a second later. McGovern drove his right to the jaw and left to the wind. Neil rushed in, and while hang ing with his head on McGovern,s shoul- der, uppercut the latter three times in succession without return This method of fighting seemed to disconcert McGovern, and his endeavors to cover while Neil was fighting in this way were futile. McGovern drove left tc the wind as they broke ground, and missed a right for the jaw. Neil step ped in with a hard left counter, which drove McGovern's head back. <.
 Round 4-Neil rushed and landed left and right to face. McGovern uppercut with a vicious right and they clinched In the break Neil landed a left upper. cut on the jaw and a right to the heart McGovern kept right after Neil, but nearly all of his rushes were wild. Nei landed hard left to the ear, and sent two rights to the jaw without re. turn. Neil's superiority was very ap- parent in this round, and when the gong sounded McGovern was shaky.
 Round 5--Neil sent three lefts to tIs jaw, which shook McGovern. The lat ter came back with a hard right to the wind and a left haak to the neck. Neil drove "a left to the jaw and right to the ear. McGovern missed a hard right swing, which carried him hall way across the ring. Before he could bet set Neil was iii with a left to the chin. McGovern missed right and left for the head and they rushed to a clinch. Neil kept jabbing McGovern as they broke away and had the latters face as red as a lobster. Both boys were tired when the gong sounded, Nell from his exertions in trying to knock McGovern out, and the latter from the awful punishment he was re- ceiving.
 Round 6-Both boys came up quickly and Neil again drove his left to the wind. They clinched and Neil looked over McGovern's shoulder, and said to Terry, the latter's brother: Hes a hard kid, Terry" When they broke away Neil rushed MeGovern across the ring, and landed left and right to the jaw. McGoyern got in good right to the wind and left to the ear. But Neil only shook his head, and rushed in with terrible right to the wind. Mo Governs hands dropped to his waist and Neeil sent in a stiff left to the jaw, .Neiel had McGovern in a neutral corner, hanging on to avoid punish ment as the gong sounded.

Now Pursuing Fleeing Russians-TIis
 Casualties 500.
 Washington, Jan. 27.The Japanese legation has received the following dis patch from the foreign office at Tokio, dated to-day:
 General Oku reports that on July 24 our army commenced an attack on the enemy posted on Tapingling and other eminences near Tachichiao, which were fortified with strong defensive works. The eneny's line of operation extended over ten miles from east to west. The enemy consisted of about five divisions with at least 100 guns. The right wing of our army reached the heights three kilometers southeast of Tapingling and there ensued the exchange of severe ar tillery fire. Our lines had to withdraw until dark before the enemy's artillery fire, as the local situation did not per- init our artillery to fire with full effect. At 10 D. m. detachment from our right wing dislodged the enemy from the position around Tapingling. Then by successive attacks till daybreak we captured all the positions commanding Tachichiao and are now pursuing the enemy toward that place. Our casual- ties are estimated at 800"
 The state department has been off, cially advised that the Japanese forces occupy Yin Kow and that General Oku of the Japanese army captured Tachi- chic on the 18th inst, after two days hot fighting with the Russian forces mum bering five divisions assisted by sixteen batteries
 The adviees corrpborate the estimat- ed Japanese loss of 800 men.
