LOCAL SELF-GovERNMENT.

Democrats Trying to Cripple Affairs in
Republican counties--They Are After
the Loaves and Fishes.
Uniop Republican.
"TRe Caucasian seems to be some
what alarmed over the bill intro
duced in the legislature to appoint
extra County Commissioners in
Sampson County. The Caucasian
says 'the bill is intended to give
jobs to some hungry democrats in
the County who can't be elected to
an Office by the voters of tina
County, and adds: Democratic
politicians are always ready to de-
stroy local self:government when it
gets between them and job.' This
is extra bad news. We have tried
to impress the fact that the question
of local self government was the
most important Of all questions be-
fore the people of North Carolina,
and we have urged this for the rea-
son that we have seen the tendency
of The democratic machine to sap
point" party pets to Office in Coun-
ties all over the State where none
but the Caucasian race votes and af-
ter, as they said, the ballot box had
"purifed." If this thing of ap-
pointing officials keeps up, we, for
one, will know no issue but "lOcal
self government" and we shall ex.
pect all honest and honorable men
to join in the sentiment. Destroy
local selfgovernment and the last
vestige of the rights and privileges
of the people is taken away from
them. If the election system In
this State is not exactly correct and
fair The fault lies with none but de-
mocracy's legislative members, past
and present. Besides, they have
heen left to disfranchise as many vO
tiers as they choose, and if the ma
chine of that party is not yet salts
fed and insists on defeating the viii
Of the people as expressed at thu
ballot box the thing will end in ar
uprising little short of revolution
No man or set of men, be they leg
is ators or what not, have the RICH
to so ANONYMOUSLY trample upol
the rights of the people,"

charged with c0ncealing the birth of
a child whose body was found in an
OutbuiIding at her home yesterday,
was bound over to Superior Court
under a bond of 5000.
The evidence against the young
woman was not damaging, as it was
proven that the child was dead born.
The body had been hid in manure
pile for two weeks and was discOv-
cred by chance yesterday. Miss
Weant is well connected. Her father,
W. B. Weant, an employe of the
Southern Railway here, is making
a desperate effort to capture the

the government of the County In

time has come when ring rule and

These words were spoken in a
rather sensational sermon last night
by Rev. Plato Durham, a leading
Methodist minister of the city. The
expressions grew out of newspaper
article along the same line, it is pre-
sumed, and which the preacher is
considered as endorsing.

WANTS "CENSOR" FOR ALL WARRANT TS Too Easy Now to Have Anyone
 Arrested JUDGE WEAVER HAS PLAN The Board of Revenue Favors It and Will Ask the Legislature to Pass
 the Law at the Present
 Session.

Judge S. L. Weaver has devised a plan against person unless the one swearing out the warrant can show sufficient cause for the issuing of the warrant This plan Is for the appointing of "censor' before whom all warrants must be sworn out. This censor shall be under the so- licitor and 1t shall be his duty to investi- gate every case and see that there is suf- ficient evidence before issuing the war rant.
 The Board of Revenue Is very much in favor of the idea and has requested Judge Weaver to draw up a bill providing for this censor, which they will approve and endeavor to have the legislature pass. Judge Weaver will draw this up this morning and submit it to the board.
 Judge Weaver in discussing this matter yesterday said:
 ""The plan suggested by me is not alto- gether new one. It is in force In St Louis and many other places, and is prov ing success It is for the appointing of censor, that Is. a person before whom all warrants must be sworn. This censor shall be under the solicitor, and he must see that no warrants are issued unless there is some kind of case against the person. This will do away with the large number of arrests made when there is absolutely no case against the party. As it is now anybody can have anybody else arrested and confined in jail, maybe for months, as all he has to dc is to swear out warrant
 "There are numbers of cases where practically innocent persons have been ar- rested and kept in confinement for long periods. As an illustration negro wom- an was brought before me and the evil dence turned in against her was to the effect that she had called the women who swore out the warrant an easy walker that is, she had no shoes, but had to go barefooted.' which gave her d pair of 1njun rubber soles. In another case one negro had called another a cow There are so many of these cases that Judge Greene and myself are worked 10 dcatn with them, ana uOH hdNc d tiidiSv to reach the really heinous ones. We must have at least 80 or 90 of these hein- ous cases on hand now. Every case like those illustrated costs the taxpayers at least $25 for a person cannot be convict- ed on charges like these.
 Tt Is my duty, according to law, when charging the grand jury to tell them even in cases where they are convinced that a person is guilty of a crime If in their opinion 1t Is to the best interest of the county not to indict the person. they need not necessarily do so, and l think the grand jury should consider this more often.
 q do not mean to cast any reflection upon any of the justices of the peace, but think this Is the most feasible way to cut down the number of cases. I have talked with the solicitor and he is very much in favor of It."
