THREE TURNS
 AND A WHISPER!
Remarkable Aerial Feat with Fore.
 paush and Sells Bros Show.

The flying tl'apeze act of the Fisher family is one of the sensational fea- tnres this season of the Adam Fore Inaugh and Sells Bros. circus. which Icomes to Pine Bluff on November Is. The act is something entirely new. :Dne of the family, while being tossed RcrOss the arena, turns triple somer- kault and twister. He is the only hlan who has ever succeeded ill doing ahis Another sensational feature Ind which is also the most beautiful |And graceful aerial act ever accom- Nlished is the flying leap from one Y 8wing to another of Miss Minnie
 lore iAaatEhh:. This young woman seem. hgly can resist the laws of gravity, for she projects herself with such nirdlike swiftliess from one swing Mat she speeds as straight as an ar iow's flight through fifty feet of space md catches the bars of another tra- |peze. This act has never been seen 1efore. =
 Among other acts in this class: is the mid-air leaps and catches of the great Le Vans, whose performance abounds in novelty and is daring to the extreme. Miss Nettie Carroll, the most beautiful circus performer ill America, is still another who will classify with the aerialists, though her work is all on bicycle. Miss Car roll does on a slender and high wire a riding act that would be remark able if done on platform. All of the other 300 performers are as excellent in their distinct specialties as are are aerialists. The management has aimed to give the public all novelties, and they have succeeded so well that they have a circus absolutely new ill idea. The street parade is something on an entirely different order from the old style affair, and it cost enough
 m0ney to buy the ordinary entire cir
 GUS. One million dollars was also
 spent on the fire drama which opens
 he regular program and is the most
 thrilling, dramatic and gorgeous en-
 ertainment ever seen under can

The committees who are soliciting funds for the Ladies Hospital and Benevolent Association are still at work. The ten day campaign closes tonorrow afternoon. About eight thousand dollars has been subscribed. It is hardly probable that the requir- ed amount, s2o.0o0, will be raised at this time. The tight money condi- tjons throughout the country just now have somewhat affected the canvass and has reduced the contributions in many instances. No few sums were turned .n this morning, however.

QUEER TnIaes.

ployment, at the States expense, Of

We agree with the Observer that
the Governor Of Alabama has done
some "queer things"-but not half
50 strange as some we have seen
done by a Governor at home. When
:he management Of the A. & n. G.
Railroad under State management

But, mind you, the investigation
was held behind closed doors and
the report of the Committee was
filed In the Governor's Office and
never given to the newspapers or
the public. a Committee was also
appointed by Governor Aycock to
recommend q site for the encamp.
ment of the State troops. The Com
mittee visited several points and
made their recommendation to the
Governor. While the report Of this
Committee was kept from the pub

THE PUBLIC WOULD LIKE TO KNOW

THE PUBLIC WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.
In our last issue we stated that
the report of the Committee that
Investigated the Democratic man
agement of the Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad could not now be
found in the Governors Office. And
we asked for information as to its
whereabouts. But up to the hour of
going to press the lost, strayed or
stolen report has not been found-if
so the finding has been as much a
secret as its disappearance.
The INVESTIGATION was paid for by
the tax payers of the State and, even
if they are never to view this won
derful document or to know of its
contents, they have right to know
of its resting place. Again, we ask,
has the report been destroyed. or
has it been secretly removed from
the Governors office-and if 30, by
whom? and what was the purpose
for destroying or removing this re
port? Did 1t tell Of such cor.
ruption under Democratic man
agement that it was feared that
if its contents were finally made
public that it would ruin certain po-

RAILROADS AND POLITICS."

The News and Observer Should Tell
How Much Money the Railroads
Contributed to the Democratic Party
and How Much of it Went into the
Hands of the Observer.
Recent events show that the big
railway bosses in North Carolina
have made up their minds to try to
make North Carolina go Republican
if they cannot control the Demo-
cratic organization. Fortunately
also recent events have extracted
most of their fangs so they cannot
longer iDjure. It is but history re.
peating itself, for they helped the
Republicans In 1896 and in 1897
established the Raleigh Tribune as a
Republican-railroad-tr trust organ in
Raleigh.-News and Observer.
AS the News and Observer knows
80 much about what the railroads
of this State did for the Republican
party in 1896, it should be able to
tell the public what it did for the
Democratic party in 1898, The edi-
tor of that paper, being q member
of the Democratic State Committee,
should have more information on
this subject than on the other, He
surelk was not a mere figurehead on
that committee. He must have had
knowledge of all its important trans
actions. He could enlighten the
people if he would state what he
knows about the matter.
As far as the principle is con-
cerned-the diverting of trust funds
to improper uses-it is just as rep
rehensible and just as much a vio-
lation of the trust for the railroads
to contribute of the stockholders
funds to the expenses of one politi-
cal party as to those of anther.
Of course if the railroads are 60
ing to contribute from the company
funds to the campaign expenses of
either one of the political parties: I'VE
would prefer that they gave all and
every time to the Democrats and not
feel that they ought to ''turn about.n
But we can't see the consistency
from q moral standpoint of abusing
the railroads for contributing to the
campaign fund of one party and
condoning their doing so to that Of
the other.-Wilmington Messenger.
