at the hands of all good citizens.
Recent cases in the superior
court show plainly the needs of
some court to dispose of cases at
once. One in particular, we
have in mind, that Of Major
Hamlin who was arrested on the
charge of larceny. After re-
manning in Jail for three months
he was discharged for lack of
evidence. This fellow has SUBJ
jected to being in Jail all this
time and has no way of getting
even. If there is a way toget out
of such things itshould be adop-
ted at once. 1t lis bad enough for
a fellow to have to face some
charge of which he is innocent,
but when it comes to being con-
fined in Jail somebody should
be held responsible for it. |

/ Rufus Massey, who rooms in
building on Church street, just
back of the Hackney Brothers
store, was robbed of his collec-
tons of the day, which amount
ed to something near $125, but
the robber failed to get away
with all the money and about
$50 was found and returned to
the owner.
The robbery took place about
six O'Clock Monday afternoon, and
the first intimation Massey had
that there was anyone in the
room was when he was struck
back of the head. The blow so
stunned Massey that he dropped
his cash box which the robber
took and made his escape, saying
as he did so, Don't you say
nothing, or / will shoot your
brains out" Soon afterward
Massey gave the alarm and the
robber who had gone up Church
street in such hurry that he
lost most of his money was now
out of reach.
Officers soon were searching
and following up every cIIe, but
at last accounts had not been
successful in finding their man.

If we all tried as hard to see
the good in men that we do to
see the evil we would soon find
that the world contained more
good men than we thought, but
when men come in contact every

charitable toward the next one
that comes along.

From The Person County Courier.

Greensboro for medical treat
ment. Mr.. Tucker has been in
bad health for several months,
and his many friends here hope
that he willfind a speedy relief
and soon return to his family
and friends.
DR.. A. P. Reade was in town
a few days last week shaking
hands with friends. The Doc
tor has opened a Dental Office in
Durham and does not visit his
friends as often as he used to.
He says that it makes a differ
ence when a fellow gets to hust-
ling for a living.
Mr.. j. P. Long, one of our
substantial farmers, went up to
High Point just before Christ
mas to visit his son, Mr.. Chas.
F. Long, while getting on the
train at Greensboro, going to
High Point, he was touched by
one of the deft hand gentry, who
succeeded in relieving Mr.. Long
of the sum of S642 in cash and a
certificate of deposit for 81, 900,
this the robber could not use,
while the loss of the money is
very great it is not as bad as if
the deposit had also been money
too. Mr.. Long remembers a
man taking hold of the rods ap-
parently made several efforts to
board the train. He finally left
saying that he did not want to
get on the train anyway. This
is.the man who got Mr.. Longs
money. He is described as be-
ing a low stout man with a mus
tache. Mr.. Longs friends in
Person county sympathize with
him in his loss.
Rev. G. 7. Watkins has receiv-
eu and accepted a call to the
First Baptist church at Colds
boro. He will leave for his new
field about April 1st. Mr.. Wat
kins has been pastor of the Rox-
boro, Mill Creek and Buffalo
Baptist churches for the past six
years. In fact he has served the
church at Mill Creek for 17years,
and has made a most faithful
pastor, doing a good work. His
leaving will be a great loss to
this community. and regretted
By his many friends and admir-
ers. He was always found on
the side of right and what was
for the upbuilding Of the town.
Goldsboro. and especially the
Baptist church Of which he goes
to be their leader, are to be con-
graduated on securing him. Wei
.Yish him and his family great
happiness in their new home.

Grafton when you come to think
about it is what are they going
to do with Bryan if she is not

is not the case what amount of
trouble can he create for conven-

STATISTICS ON
IMMIGRATION.

From Washington comes informa-
tion that the national immigration
commission is taking steps to obtain
an elaborate compilation of statistics
which will show the kind of citizens
this country is receiving each year by
adoption II is proposed to follow the
careers of immigrants from the time
they step ashore at Ellis island until
they are assimilated into the great
mass of American citizenship, and to
ascertain also what becomes of the
children they bring with them and
those born here. To this end school
teachers and hospital physicians in
New York and other points where i'm
migrants land and associated charity
officials elseweher win be asked in a
short time to furnish such data as
come in their power to produce, says
the san Jose Mercury and Herald
The wonder is that this step, which
concerns a matter of so great import
ance, was not taken long ago, and it
is to be hoped that the scope Of OBJ
seryation thus instituted win speedily
be made more comprehensive. That
this country has been made TO an OBJ
jectionable extent the dumping ground
of the scum of Europe is not an idle
aggregation of words. immigrants of
the right kind should be welcomed
now as in the earlier years of Ameri-
can history People who have come
to this country from Europe to found
homes and become Industrious law
abiding, upbuilding citizens have con
stituted an important and effective fac
tor in making the United States a
great and prosperous country. But
there should be no room here for those
whose presence would tend to lower
our standard OF citizenship. Particu-
larry does this apply just now to peo-
pie from Asiatic countries who could
never become citizens either in fact
or effect, and whose residence in this
country would .teud to debase morals
and to decrease the independence of
Industrial workers.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.

Mr.. Bryan's position with regard to

This is one Of the numerous social
questions of which the democratic can

subject Of Chinese exclusion Mr. Bry-
an has said: The Chinese exclusion
act has proved an advantage TO the

enforcement, as well as its extension

"The Asiatic is SO essentially diff
ferent from the American that he can

must ever prove an injustice TO Amer
lean producers, as well as a perpetual
source of irritation.

ment in the efficiency OF their work.

Lurid stories about the revolution
in Mexico have furnished a great deal
Of amusement for the people in Texas.
As matter of fact this revolutionary
movement has been brewing for three
or four years, the hotbed Of 1t being
in Texas. where several arrests have
been made, and trials held. The revo-
luton is largely confined to discon-
tented people and is not regarded ser
iously by those who are in a position
to kn5w the facts. The revolutionists
proper have naturally attracted TO
their standard the bandits who more
or less always infest the mountains in
northern Mexico and are ever ready
to Join in any undertaking that prom
ises a chance to loot; stripped of this
IawIess element the revolution proper
is Insignificant. The Mexican govern.
merit seems thoroughly aroused to a
necessity of hunting these brigands
out Of their hiding places, and if any
Of them drift across the Rio Grande
