The report comes from Giles

over there are conspiring to de.
feat Hon, Lemuel p. Padgett, the
present member of congress from
the seventh district. 1t will be
remembered that snap acGon was
taken against Mr. Padgett a year

made an independent race and
thoroughly wiped up his oRpon-

of the naval affairs committee.
lie s one of the ablest members

A similar fight was made last
year on Judge w. c. Houston, of
the Fifth district, and he also
was triumphantlv reelected over
his regular opponent. 1t is not
known whether or not the regu'
lars will put out a candidate
against Judge Houston next year,

There is nothing in Judge
Neil's recaat charge to the Nash
willie jury about enforcing such
laws as public sentiment tavors.
He does not suggest any segre-
gated territory where lawlessness
may rule undisturbed. He sharp
ly controvenes the platform of
Judge Meeks in this respect
And the biggest feature OF his
attitude is that every word is in
keeping with his oath and his Of
fetal honor. We do not know
how much Judge Neil means
what he says, but we do know
what he says is greatly to his
credit, and places him in the at
titude of one who respects the
law and regards his oath. 1t
may be that when the election is
over his ardor for law and order
will be dampned, but anyway
his bold and honorable stand is
already bearing fruit in hundreds
of indictments against the law
less interests. Let him but keep
the good work up, and every
good citizen will be glad to honor
him.

REUNION OF FORMER SLAVES

REUNION OF FORMER SLAVES
In Rockingham, N. O., there
was last week held one of the
most unique reunions recorded in
the south.
1t was a foregathering of old
negroes who had once been slaves.
From the town and from the far
away counties they came at an in
yitation of the citizens of Rock
ingham, and were served as honor
guests. Four hundred white. hair
ed "uncles and ''aunties' took
part in the programme of the day
listening to speeches of well
come, witnessing specially prepar-
ed moving picture shows, partak-
ing of sumptuous feasts set ont by
their former owners, and through
the golden afternoon and into the
star-studded cleaning retelling
the tales of their youth and sing
ing the unwritten music, the ryth-
mic melodies of their race.
The negroes of a younger gene
ration looked on surprised at the
frank friendship, the mutual re.
spect with which these ex-slaves
and their old,tme masters met
and mingled. 1t was hard for
them to understand the lack of
arrogance on the one side and
heart burnings on the other, SO
distorted had been the tales OF
slavery repeated to them by will
full deceiVers or self-seeking poll.
ticlans, These younger eyes
could not look over the rim of the
emancipation and see beyond II
the scenes of ''peace and plenty

old eyes saw it all, reminiscently
and happily; They would not e

lined as follows.
The fat rates remain the same
as at first established. 1t is true,
that in order to induce people to
take the service, the fat rate was
made too low at first. But il
would now probably be very un'
satisfactory to increase them and
take patronage from the plant, sc
the rates remain the same, and il
order to equalize rates, the metel
rates are slightly lowered Or

the meter rate is lowered ont
