something "rotten up the creek" in
the grand and noble city of Atlanta
Ga. Surely these charges are not
true on those dear people who are op-
Grating a Democratic good govern

when we see that out of the seventy
eight lynchings in the United States
during 1909. all but five cases were

Letters From He'll"

In my last l spoke of the War Gov
ernor-the Agamenon OF North Car
DINA, a prisoner in the old Capitol
at Washington. Cleared by his own
records, seized by the invaders under
Sherman, he returns to us to fight
"the battle of the giants" against
Thomas Settle. and again he Is made
by the verdict of the people the grand
Governor of the State of which he
was so proud. But when he is no
longer with us, called to rest beyond
the river. alas, what do we then be-
hold? Armed men at the polls long
after. the military forces have been
withdrawn from our midst. A poll
keeper in my county, with a shot
gun by his side in a dark shed room
takes from your hands the votes of
those who had fought to preserve the
liberties of our people. Another in
a different room takes our name and
decides as to whether you are to vote
or not through the little slit in the
side of the room that reveals to you
ceive it at your hands. You march
one by one through the tortuous
ropes that lead you up to this box,
the palladium of our liberties now
lost to US.
The worst is yet to be told. Armed
men at the hour Of midnight make
raids upon ballot-boxes, shoot poll
keepers and throw the ballot-boxes
away in the swamps. You may infer
from this the fair and honest count
that would be given to those who
dared to vote against a class of men
who would encourage and allow this
to go on, and by packing grand
juries, see to it that no notice was
taken by them of the acts of these
vandals. It was said to a voter
knew WE'LL YOU voted that negro
ticket" And when he said that there
was no negro ticket, he was promptly
knocked down. When he got up and
said again there was no negro ticket
he was again knocked down by the
man who struck the first blow When
" al L ant Hdu D6Su SWOII OUT, anu
the assailant brought before a magis-
trate appointed by the Legislature
the complainant was told that the
judgment of the court was, "the de-
PENDANT would pay for his arrest and
the case entered on the docket as
compromised and settled" I must
| say to you in shame and humility
that all this failure of justice from
grand juries and magistrates appoint.
ed by the Legislature has been, and
is now, the work of that certain class
of people in whose ranks battled the

Illicit Distilling Said to be Greatly
Increasing.

The Raleigh correspondent of the
Greensboro News furnished that pa
per Wednesday with following news
story:
Deputy Collector M. L. Wood, of
the Internal Revenue Department,
whose territory is in BERTHE and adj
joining counties, says that blockade
distilling has increased at least 100
per cent in the past year, compared
with the previous year. He says
too, that it is far more difficult to get
information that will lead to the To-
cation of these stills. He attributes
the change to the effects of State
prohibition.
Deputy Internal Revenue Collec-
tor r. J. Lewis, here from Franklin
County, reports the breaking up OF
one 150-gal1on and one 60-gallon
blockade still recently. He says
blockading is steadily on the in
crease"

TWO LADIES HORRIBLY BURNED
Caused by the Explosion OF a Lamp
The Victims Are Misses Bessie
and LESSEE Wescott of Manteo.

Elizabeth City, Jan. 11.-Meagre
information OF an unfortunate fire
and the horrible burning of two
young ladies at Manteo, reached here
this morning. While the two daugh-
tiers OF the late Captain Joe Wescott,
Misses LESSEE and Bessie, were sitting
in their home alone early yesterday
morning, lamp, which was sitting
on helf above stove exploded and
fell upon the heated stove, setting
fire to the clothing of the girls, and
in a moment they were enveloped in
flames. Miss LESSEE was burned
frightfully and her features were
scarcely recognizable. Miss Bessie
was painfully and seriously burned
about the face. hands and body, but
there is hope for her recovery. There
is no hope whatever entertained for
the recovery of Miss LESSEE, who is
eighteen years of age and one Of the
most popular young ladies on Roam
oke Island. Miss Bessie, it is said,
will be manned for life, and the ter
rible accident has cast a gloom over
the entire community.
The father and mother of the
young ladies are both dead, and the
home in which they lived with their
three brothers, was burned to the
ground.
