AN UNPRECEDENTED OUTRAGE

The local councils of the Royal Ar
canum at Wilmington and Salisbury
passed resolutions declaring that the
action increasing the assessment on
old members was unjust, inequltable,
illegal and subversive of the basic
principles of the Royal Arcanum. AS
a result of such action the Supreme
Regent has issued an order suspend
ing the councils in these cities ana
practically rendering null and void
the insurance policies held by the
membership of these local branches.
The Wilmington Star says there are
$50 members of the Cornelius Harnett
Council in Wilmington, carrying in
surance to the amount of 100000,
some of them having paid premiums
for twenty-five years. And yet, be-
cause that council exercised the right
of protest to a radical departure
which works injustice to all MEM
bers who have been paying assess
ments for a quarter of a century, the
Supreme Regent cancels all their IN
surance because of "wilful insubordi-
nations" 1t seems that this autocratlc
mower is conferred by section 6l2,
which has probably never been read
or heard of by any member IN VIII
mington or Salisbury. The Whining
ton council not only passed reso-
buttons, but printed and distributed
circulars declaring that no stone
should be left unturned to wipe out
the Royal Arcanums record of lnJus~
tice i'll this particular. and Vindlcate
to the world the principles of the
order now in eclipse through a piece
of injustice by the Supreme Council
1t sought to get the State Counc1fs
endorsement but this failed. The
Supreme Regent says this action was
"contumaceous and defiant viola
lions of law which cannot be over
looked"
The Wilmington Council will seek
to have the Supreme Regent revoke
his order. If they fail. they will take
the matter into the courts. The tax
ing from these men their insurance
would be an unprecedented outrage
and if the law should permit sucn a
wrong "the law would be ass
1t is gratifying to know that ex-
Judge Burwell and others in CHAR

against the officers who have adopted

The matter ought to- be tested in the
courts. If such a thing can be done
then no person can safely join the
ROYAL Arcanum, for if they live to be
over sixty the cost will be almost
prohibitory.

NEW AND IMPORTANT TESTI-
MONY.

In his letter to inquirers in Mary
the adoption of the suffrage amend
ment had been followed in North Car
DINA by a more friendly feeling be-
tween the races and that the State had
been in every way benefited by it..
To the same effect spoke Ex-Governor
Aycock in his recent speech in Bal
timore. Both Governors gave proofs
of their statement The Chatham
Record this week gives additional tes-
timony from an unexpected source.
Here II is:
"a very remarkable debate was had
at this place one night last week be-
tween some of our most intelligent
cOlored citizens. The query discussed
was, Resolved that it is best for the
cOlored people that they are disfran-
chised," and strange to say the affirm
alive won!
"And that which makes it the more
remarkable is the fact that the two
speakers on the affirmative were
West Farrell and Ben Scurlock. who
were the most influential colored men
in this county when the colored peo-
pie did vote. One of them West
FarrelD used to be the most active
and prominent politician in this coun-
ay and was conspicuous in every Re-
publican convention and frequently
canvassed the county for his party
cit is said that the debaters in the
affirmative made most sensible and eff
fective speeches. They asserted that
there is now and has been ever since
the suffrage amendment was adopted,
a more friendly and kindly feeling be-
tween the whites and the blacks. They
declared that the colored people were
better off in every respect now than
they had ever been and were perfect
ly satisfied and contented with their
present condition.
1--WE commend this debate and its
result to the consideration of those
white men who so bitterly opposed
the adoption of our suffrage amend
ment.'

HOW LONG WILL THEY SUBMIT?

In Wednesdays paper, discussing
the evidence brought out in the Win
Salem investigation, this state
ment was made:
"The whole trouble with the South
ern Railways failure to give prompt
and good service is that it will not
spend enough money to secure such
service. 1t sends its money to New
York to show big earning and boom
watered stock; it subsidies newSpa-
pers; it hires a multitude of lawyers
and law agents, mostly for political
service; and pays absurdly high salar-
les to the chief officials, out of the
twenty-five per cent. it makes on the
North Carolina and some other lines.
But it pays too low wages to the men
who do the work and requires such
long hours as to make some of its
men unable to do their best work. 1T
comDeiS it's laboring employees and
shippers to live hard and suffer incon-
venience and delay in order to make
a big showing and control politics and
newspapers. How long will flesh and
blood stands over-work at small
wages? How long will shippers sub
nit to have their business injured?'
These statements were made advis-
eddy, for it is well known that many
men employed by the Southern hold
their jobs for bread and meat and
quit as soon as they can get some
thing else to do. Yesterday the fol-
lowing letter was received from an
employe of the Southern Railway,
which shows the feeling of the men
in it's employ:
Your editorial this morning, How
Long Will They ,Submit?" goes right
to the spot. You are absolutely cor
rect as to the Southern's policy to-
wards it's employees. They are UNI
grateful to the core, and their one
cry is, day and night, reduce ex-
penses." Their station employees, es-
pecially are overWorked and under
paid. We have to be up some nights
practically all night without cent
extra pay, while the train men get
overtime by the hour. Operators at
places on this line working night and
day for $40 to $50 per month, while
on the SeabOard and other roads they
have minimum schedule of $500,
with liberal overtime And the South
ern crowded with business they can't
protect
Then section labOrers are paid 80
cents per day, while for the very same
work the N. & w. pays $1.25 per day,
with double the number of men to the
mile of track. Each superintendent
tries to make the best showing and
operate his own division with least
possible cost, in order to cater to the
officials higher up with the result
that the men who do the work and
can't help themselves, are the ones to
suffer and the public, in turn, also suf-
ferS.

More FOol-ology From Chicago Uni

Richmond News-Leader.
Another idea proceeds from that
high pressure incubator of absurdi-
ties. The Chicago University. One of
the professors of this frotesque insti-
tuition gravely tells his .students-and
has his observations printed in the
newspapers, of course-that the rea-
son a certain suburb of Chicago is
uncommonly prolific in poetry is that
the wheels of trolley cars running
there are afflicted with fairness The
fiat wheel, he argues, makes a
rhythmic, regular clicking and the
thoughts of those riding in the con-
veyances are naturally and cOnse-
quently shaped in rhythmic measures
keeping time, time, time in sort of
suburban rhyme to the clicking and
the clacking of the wheels, the wheels,
