ROBBERY AND MURDER IN SAMPSON.
A CoIorsd laWless band lnfests a portion O.
the County.

Fayetteville, N. O., Sept. 12.-
According to Mr.. W. D. Royal, a
prominent farmer of Sampson
county, there is great excitement
in that section of his county run
ming from Clinton toward Will
mington, on account of the rob-
bling and pillaging by band of
black desperadoes who, it seems,
have also added murder to their
other crimes. A negro mans
charred body was found in the
ruins of his home Friday morning,
the head having been cut off and
otherwise mutilated. A prominent
farmer received an anonymous let
ter Saturday threatening the lives
of himself his wife and a certain
negro preacher in the neighbor-
hood. A posse of farmers, after
an exciting chase, captured four
of the lawless band, and they are
now in Jail.

Some days ago one hundred and
seventy men In Raleigh, who were
registered voters at the last cleo
ton, were denied the right of pc
tition by the Board of Aldermen,
which caused the Raleigh Post,
democratic, to observe as follows
'It is true, gentlemen, we prom
ised when the amendment was
passed, that no white man should
be disfranchised. But the Raleigh
aldermen not being in Office then,
do not feel bound by the promise. "
To which the Union Republi-
can pertinently adds:
off the Post will wait till after
the year 1908 it will find that it
will be necessary for the entire
Democratic party to find some
subterfuge to shift its response
bility to the people for disfran-
chising white voters, which it
promised not to disfranchise."

WHICH KIND OF A DEMOCRAT IS Mr.. POU.

Congressman Pou, of this State,
has been interviewed III Washing
ton. At least the Washington
Post contains an alleged interview
with him, but the same stuff APP
peared word for word the same
day in the Raleigh News and
Observer" Clearly the Post must
have telegraphed copy OF the
interview to the News and Obser-
yer before it published it.
But, be that as it may, the IN
terview calls forth a short editorial
from the Post headed 'Antlcs Of
the Unterrifed' which we publish
in another column.
The Post calls attention to the
many different kinds of Demo
Gratis, with principles y with
more confusion than the tongues
of Babel. From the interview it
is hard to tell to which class MIR.
Pou belongs. 'Indeed he seems to
have tried to create a new class and
to be herding to himself"
He charges that the proposed
reciprocity program of the Repub
lican party is a scheme to "let In
raw materials free for the benefit
of the trusts" Mr.. Pou forgets that
he was himself recently advocat
ing this doctrine under Cleveland
(free raw materially as the es
sence of Democratic tariff reform
Mr.. Pou next advises the farm
ers to form trust of their own
and arbitrarily fix prices by
storing their cotton ana other pro
ducts in warehouses or sub-treas
uries. Mr.. Pou forgets that only
a few moons since he was denounc
ing this program as the crazy and
vicious scheme of the Farmers
Alliance, which he said was
Matched up by Polk, Butler ano
other designing politicians. What
does all of this mean?
In all seriousness, what kind Oh
label should be put on Mr.. Pou',
brand of Democracy?

TO6O'S FLAGSHIP DESTROYED.
Her MAGAZINE Exploded killins $50 Men
TOTO not on the Shin.

Toxic, Sept. 12.-2 p. m.-The
Navy Department announced that
the battleship Mikasa has been de-
stroyed by fire and the explosion
of her magazine causing the loss
of 500 lives, including men of
other ships who went to the rescue.
The fire started from an un-
known cause at midnight ON Sun
day night, September 10. Before
the officers could be rescued the
fire reached the aft magazine
which exploded, blowing a hole in
the port side of the vessel below
the water line and causing the ship
to sink.
An investigation is now being
held to determine the cause of the
fire.
6 p. m.-Admiral Togo was
not on board the Mikasa when the
disaster to the battleship occurred.

A mass meeting will be held in
the square in Richmond, Virginia,
Saturday night by the citizens
committee for pure politics, for
the purpose of asking the Demo
cratic electoral board of that city
to resign. It will be remembered
that there were many charges of
fraud in the recent Democratic
primaries in that city as we'll as
In other towns in Virginia.
One man, a nonresident of
Richmond, has just been arrested
for fraudulently voting and also
for serving as judge of election,
and as such he aided in classifying
the returns. The citizens com
mittee was organized to purify the
Democratic party and have these
ballot-box suffers prosecuted. We
hope now that the Legislature of
Virginia will not bring the blush
of shame upon that State by
passing a law to protect election
thieves, as did the Democratic
Legislature of North Carolina in
1901.

Open the front case of watch
and with soft match, cut chiseled
shape at the end, rub a little vase
line all around seat of the case
where the lid fits. Close the front,
open the back and treat in the
same way. Only very small
quantity is required, just enough
to grease it thoroughly all around.
This will make your case dust
and water proof at those points.
At the end of two or three months
open the case and if much dirt
has collected, take a match, cut in
the same way, and scrape it all of
clean and give it another coating
of the vaseline. This is the only
known plan to keep a watch clean

IN the station at Richmond, n. c.
because the relalives of Mr.. Nall
were too poor to pay the bill for
the coffin and charges, the body
being shipped collect ON deliv-I
cry" The body could not be
buried until the brother of Mr..
Nall, a manned Confederate sol
der, could beg enough money to
pay the bill and bury his brother.
In justice TO DIR. Mckee it should
be stated that in sending the body
with the bill for the coffin he fol-
lowed the practice long prevailing
at the institution But this incl
dent should cause the directors to
repeal a rule that may be atten-
dant with such painful results
DIR. Mckee made a great mis-
take when he sent the body home
before demanding an investigation
by the coroner and a finding by
the coroner's jury. 1t was not
enough that he was of the opinion
that the man had not died from
the blows. He knew, or should
have known, that the attendants
pursued him and that people at
Caraleigh mills felt that the atten-
dants had been rough in their
treatment of the demented man.
That should have caused him to
make the demand at once for an
investigation which he made some
days later. In all matters relating
to an insane asylum there must be
nothing done that gives warran,
for criticism. The public is en-
titled to know everything, and of
fcials should see to it that when
there is the least suspicion OF
wrong attaching to one of the EN-
Iployes there shall be a prompt
|public investigation. Since DR.
Mckee wrote his belated letter de
string an investigation, the author
tiles, who would have proceeded
on their own motion if there haC
been no request from the hospita
authorities, have been actively en-
gagged in making an examination
tof the body and an examination o:
witnesses.

ANTICS OF THE UNTERRIFIED."
As Many Kinds Of Democrats as There Were
Kinds and Confusion Of Tongues at
BabeI."i
The Washington Post.


Mr.. Pou, Democratic states
man of North Carolina, gives it
as his opinion that Democrats take
up entirely too much time criti-
cising one another. Why should
MT they! There are more sorts of
Democrats than you can shake a
stick at. Go into any public
place club, hotel, hall, sleeping
coach, bar-room democrats used
to 60 into bar-rooms, though they
are trying to abolish that out in
Ohio -and you will find as much
confusion of Democratic "princi-
pies" in casual political discus
sions as there was confusion of
tongues at Babel when they tried
to build the tower.
They are not even agreed on the
tariff; and if they had 100 ma
jority in the House of Represen-
tatives they could not make a
tariff if 100 years. lease of the
Presidency depended on it. Texas
wants protected wool and free
woolens. Your Massachusetts,
Democrat wants free wool and pro-
tected woolens. Virginia wants
protected coal, South Carolina pro-
tected rice, Georgia protected lum-
Der, Alabama protected iron,
Louisiana protected sugar, Florida
protected citrous fruits. Vest
would not allow Missouri to ask
for protected lead; but Vest is
dead. Carlisle would not permit
Kentucky to put in a claim for
protected hemp, but Carlisle is out
of politics.
Democrats pretend to agree with
the Republican President on this
railroad rate business, but they
enter upon that exactly like Bob
Acres went into the duel. After
a while they are going to find out
that the thing is dangerous, and
Joe Jefferson himself could have
got lesson in realism in art if he
had lived to see the capers and
shines the "unterrifed Democ-
racy" are going to cut when the
rate question gets to be real para
mount, as it is likely to do.
AS for the currency question,
the Democratic party hasn't the
remotest idea where it stands,
Bryan will do with it as he shall
please, and Bryan can not learn
and will not forget.
Why shouldn't Democrats crit
icise one another? Is there any
thing else between earth and sky
that extends such a cordial invita-.
ton to criticise as the once mighty
and inyincib1e Democracy

Dr.. Mckee Should Resign.
Wilmington Messenger.

w WILL AIAO00OAAfaOAs
The Messenger yesterday morn
ing editorially advocated a thor
ough investigation of the manage
ment of the Raleigh Insane Asy-
lum by the trustees of that insti-
tuition. This was based upon the
conduct of the superintendent, DR..
Mckee, at the time Of death Of the
inmate, Thomas II. Nall, and sub
sequent to that occurrence. We
said that he should ask for an in
vestigation, and that if he did not
do SO there should be one anyhow.
That editorial was written and
put in type before the news reached
this Office that the Governor had
called together his council of state
and that body had requested Su-
perintendent Mckee to call a
meeting of the asylum trustees to
consider the Nall case.
Here is how matters stand !:
After Nails death under such Pc
culiar circumstances the superin-
tendent did not ask for an investi-
CATION of that death by the coroner
and solicitor until virtually forced
to do SO. Again, after light had
been thrown on the manner of his
death and ON subsequent events at
the asylum which do not place the
superintendent into a very envi-
able position, he waits until the
request comes from the Governors
council before he makes any move
to have the trustees make an IN
vestigation.
Under the circumstances We
think the proper thing for DR..
Mckee to do would be to tender
his resignation to the Governor
and step down and out in order
that the board may not be hamp-
cred or in any way embarrassed
in making full and thorough IN
vestigation of the management of
the institution. BE should not
wait to have made to him this
third suggestion as to what hls
conduct should be.

The weekly crop Bulletin for
the week ending last Monday Is
sued by the weather bureau here
SAYS:
THE weather has been dry
with warm DAYS and cool nights.
The average temperature has been
normal over the State, except IN
the Eastern part where it has been
a few degrees above the normal
The week las been very favorable
for saving hay and fodder, and all
outdoor work. There has been lit
tie or no rain in the West and cen
trail portions, while in the extreme
East the weather has been gener-
ally fair, but some heavy rains
have occurred. The farmers are
ready as a rule to pillow land for
wheat and oats, but this has been
impossible in many cases on ac-
count of hardness OF the ground.
Many of the crops now need rain,
particularly corn and turnips.
Frost was reported in Watauga
county.
"The cotton crop has expert
enced no improvement during the
past week as a whole; in many
places the yield is disappointing,
and on the whole the crop will be
fully 80 per cent short. In the
East the cotton is still shedding
and taking rust in many sections,
there are also reports of its being
attacked by the army worm which
will reduce the crop one-third in
those places. Caterpillars are al
so doing damage to some late cot
ton. The weather being dry also
causes it to open prematurely il
some parts. In some sections the
crop improved a little during tho
past week, and the top crop il
maturing. In the central part the
bolls are few and small, and ths
lint short; it is not ripening OF
top. In the West cotton is shed
ding all shapes and small bolls il
some places; picking is genera
but the yield is light.
| "Tobacco is all cut and cured il
| the East; while in the central ant
West portions great deal ha
been cut and cured, but there arr
some farms where cutting is onl,
about two-thirds done. In genera
the leaf is good in quality ane
color, but it lacks weight. In tn
West part it is firing and speaking
badly in places. The crop will
only be light, about 60 per cent
Corn has improved a little durin,
the past week, but needs rain; up
land corn is generally good, bu
/, bottom corn is drowned, it is earn
ing we'll and maturing rapidly, tn
crop will be short, many reportin,
only a two-thirds crop; there i
some cutting in progress in tn
West. Most of the fodder ha
been saved in the East, and pullin,

indignation of the people of North

care of the insane. In all the his
tory of North Carolina until last

In our last issue We gave an ac-
count Of the escape and subse-

Chatham, who was an inmate In
the insane asylum at Raleigh. 1t
will be remembered that he es-
capped from the attendants at the
asylum and was chased for a mile
before being captured by them,
and that the patient died an hour
afterwards. 1t had been charged
by many reputable citizens that
the patient was maltreated by the
attendants, which many thought
caused his death.
With these facts before it the
News and Observer wrote an ar
ticle whitewashing the whole at
fair and even excused the atten-

far as to abuse those who had
made any statements derogatory
to the management of the institu
