Governor Not Chief.
Wilmington Messenger (Dem.)
The Governor talks about how he
would have called out the State
Guard to resist all orders of the Fed.
eral Court. That is another one of
his grand-stand plays. The Governor
ought to know that the people real
ize the perfect absurdity of such q
declaration. Doesn't he realize the
fact that the people know that the
North Carolina militia is part of
the National Guard which has the
President of the United States as its
commandment chief; that the State
of North Carolina has organized her
militia with the full knowledge of
that fact and that the national gov
eminent in return for the State mi.
litia becoming a national guard has
agreed to and does actually expend
thousands of dollars a year for the
support and equipment of the
"North Carolina State Troops ?''
Does Mr.. Glenn consider himself the
commander in chief Of the North
State Guard and that it is subject to
no other orders but his? If he holds
to that opinion he should read the
Dick bill.

A Reformatory for Youthful criminaisss


A grand jury at Asheville re-
Gently urged the establishment Of q
reformatory for youthful criminals.
Referring to this recommendation
the Asheville Citizen says: "During
the present term there have been at
least twenty-five indictments against
youthful offenders under the age of
twenty.one years, and q number of
these were under the age of twelve.
There is an alarming increase at
each succeeding term. In the alb
sence of reformatory the judge can
only imprison with hardened offend
ers or release on probation. Usually
the latter course is adopted. Time
and again these boys are brought
into court and released on probation,
only to commit again like offenses.
Not only do the people suffer greatly
in financial way on account Of the
depredations committed by this class
and incur enormous expense in prose
cutting them in the court, but we
find that they are influencing and
causing the ruin of many other boys
who have not yet reached the age OF
discretion. The public is not only
suffering a financial loss, but is sac
rificing the future usefulness and
character of many boys who, but fol
this neglect, would probably make
good citizens. The cost is not only
in dollars and cents, but liz blood.'

White SUPREMACY Laid on the Shelf.
Wadesboro Ansonian Dem.
There was a little affair that
caused some talk on the streets Fri
day when Mr.. J. A. Lockhart sent a
note to Mr.. T. T. Caraway, registrar
for precinct No. 2, Wadesboro town.
ship, requesting him to register the
bearer, a young negro who could
neither read nor write any portion
of the constitution. Mr., Caraway
promptly refused and the negro went
back to the sender of the note. This
time Mr.. Lockhart himself went
with the son of Ham and Informed
Mr.. Caraway that he would make
oath that, to the best Of his knowl-
edge, the ancestor of this negro could
vote sometime in the remote past.
He was willing, he said. to make
this oath on the authority that his
father had told him that the said
ancestor could vote. But Mr.. Cara
waywanted better evidence and sta
ted that he would register no mar
who did not come up to the require
ments of the law.
TMr. Lockhart referred to above
was a Democratic member of the
last legislature. The Ansonian shoult
not be surprised. The majority o
these democratic politicians forge
their white supremacy when the.
need the negro vote to carry thei
point. In fact the democratic poll
ticians were never mad with the ne
lgro-they were only mad because b
did not vote their ticket. That's tn
only reason they ever agitated tn
negro question. And now that h
