THE FIFTH DISTRICT COMBINE.

Hon. W. w. Kichin is indignant, and
in The Industrial News in it's Raleigh
correspondence that he and others had
formed a Fifth District Combine,
which has for its object the capture of
the best offices for the conspirators Or
their friends and perhaps seiZing con-
troll of the party machinery and ''ab-
solutely owns four counties in the Fifth
district and has ramifications in dis
tant quarters Of the state;" that the
object is to make Mr. kitchin governor
and to give others offices; that the first
move Of the combine mas been made
the nomination of Mr.. Biggs Of Dur
ham in place of Judge Shaw. The
article also says that Mr. Craig Of
Asheville has been told that he will
| have the aid of the combine in his race
| for the senatorship two years hence.
| Mr.. Kitchin writes a letter to The In
| dustrial News in which he denies the
| statement so far as he is concerned, de-
! claring he has made no combine of any
! kind with the persons named or with
any others and has re@er thought of
| doing such a thing. The Industrial
| News publishes the letter and replies
| to it editorially in which it takes moth
| ing back. but rather argues from GER
| tain events which have recently oc-
| Cured that there is justification for its
declaration in the Raleigh correspon-
| dence.

A Mooresyille Doctor Taking a Lad to
Baltimore for an Operation.

DR. James Young, of Mooresville( {
was in the city yesterday at noon On
his way 10 Johns Hopkins hospital at
Baltimore, having in charge a fifteen
year old boy whom he was taking t.
the hospital for treatment. The boy
when he was three years old suffered
a severe blow on the head which ren-
dered him senseless and helpless
through the remainging twelve years
of his life This was caused by bone
pressing down on the brain. He was
taken to the hospital to have the bona
removed. with the hope that he would
ultimately be restored to soundness OF
mind and body. While the boy is %
no relation TO DR.. Young, he is bearing
the entire expenses Of the trip and
lending his own professional services
without charge. with the hope that he
may help the boy to recover.
DR.. Young had the boy at the White
head-Stokes hospital IN Salisbury foT
awhile. but ne could not get the Ge-
sired relief there.-Greensboro Tele-

THE FIGHT ON POSTMASTER
DOUGLAS.

There does not seem to be so much
harmony in the state republican parry
as we were asked TO believe would flow
from that love feast it is pretended
was held at the Greensboro convention
lust after the first vote was taken
which demonstrated the strength o+ the
ButIer-Adams faction. The public has
been told that the announcement Of the
nomination of Mr.. Douglas as post
master saved the day for Chairman
Adams and prevented what other
wise would have been certain de-
feat for his faction Of the party. Eff
fort is being made to make il appear
that all is serene and harmonious in
the party now. But it seems that this
is far from being the case. 1t is now
stated that strong opposition will be
made in the senate to the confirmation
of the nomination. The Blackburn.
contingent will keep up the tight
against Mr.. Douglas. The Iatter's being
a recess appointment nothing can be
done TO keep him from taking pos-
session at any time he files his bond
and asks to be inducted into Office;
but when congress meets his nomina-
ton will have 10 be sent TO the senate.
just as if he had not been previously
appointed. Then is when the OppOsi-
ton viii try 10 down him. We nave
no idea though that it will succeed
We do not think any charges can be
brought against Mr. Douglas which will
show him disqualified for the place or
at all unfit to hold the office. Mr.. Doug
las stands high among his acquaint-
ances. He is considered a gentleman
and a man Of integrity and ability.
To strengthen his case he has the pres
ident's commission to the Office, show,
ing the latters confidence in him. Bat
then. if Mr.. Blackburn wants to keep
up the fight it IS none of our business

MIR. DREWRY'S VICTORY.

There seems to be general rejoicing
all over the state at the nomination OF
Mr. .DreWry for the senate by the dem
Ocrats of Wake-It is not because Of
opposition to Mr. Olive, his opponent,
but on account Of the attitude toward
Mr.. Drewry taken by The News and
Observer. If that paper did not ac-
tually cause the defeat of the man
whose cause it espOused, it certainly
was responsible for the tremendous
majority Of the other candidate. Mr..
DreWrys victory was the result Of Op-
position by the people to One-man-
power and boss rule in the party, and
the people outside of Wake rejoice at
the nomination of Mr.. Drewry for the
same reason that that county gave him
such large vote 1t was a victory for
pure democracy as we'll as a personal
one for Mr.. Drewry. The party of the
state is to be congratulated as we'll as
that gentleman. He fought a good
fight and won a splendid victory for
the party as we'll as for himself.

To us it looks like all this talk about
Thaw being unwilling that his coun-
sci shall set up the plea of insanity, his
dismissing his lawyers because they
insisted on this course, his mother talk
ing about making application to be op-
pointed guardian, etc, is being done for
the purpose of laying a foundation for
insanity dodge-to create public senti-
ment in favor of such a plea in order
to make it easier to secure an acquittal
on that ground. 1t is all bosh for
man to say he had rather be electro-
cuted than be declared insane. The
man who says it is either insane or is
trying to make the public think he is
so, and in this case we are inclined to
the latter opinion.

= STEANGER.s pITIABLE, PLIGHT

That Syrian leper who is travelling
about the country should be looked
after and sent to some place where he
can be cared for and will not be men
ace to the public health His condi-
tion is pitiable and he should not, he
cause of his misfortune, be forced to
wande" up and down the country an
Outcast and deprived of any of the at
tention one in his deplOrable cOndi-
ton should receive. The Charlotte
Chronicle says of this case:
Syrian with $500 in his pocket
and leprosy in his blood, is now being
tossed to and fro between Baltimore
and Philadelphia. He has been in this
country four years ana made his
money in the south. When leprosy
broke out on him he determined to
make his way back to his old home in
Ee.rUt. Syria, and bad got as far as
Philadelphia when his condition was
discovered and he was started back
south. He got to Baltimore and that
city drove him back. The BaltimO ore
End Ohio Railroad Company to whose
freight trainS the syrian had attach
@d himself. has given him q free pass
good OF any of the company's freight
trains he may desire to use. The rail-
road company though regarding him
a UeSpasser, has instructed EN-.
Ft"y"F pot to touch him, and denies all
,, ;o]n-,biity for him. 1t is just pos
sio!" that he will be beaten back this
way. aEG the officials should look out
FOR him. 1t is not pleasant to have q
lercr wandering about the country.
He should be paced in box car with
food and water and sent to the IcDer
