Our readers will reniembei that
tiie last Legislature appointed a
committee to investigate the Fu
sion mismanagement of the Agri
cultural Department aud the peni
tentiary. The former was investi
gated hust mouth and the most
outrageous extravagance, if not
corruption, was exposed. Last
week the committee investigated
he penitentiary and discovered
not only extravagant mismanage
ment, but barbarous cruelty,
which were proved not bv the evi-
ence of convicts but- of reputable
oliicers, one ot the witnesses who
gave the most damaging evidence
beinjr a brother of (Jo v. Russell.
From the evidence of Gov. Rus
sell's brother alone it was fully
proved that on one farm one con
vict had been beaten to death
absolutely murdered and another
was beaten so brutally that lie
could not iret out of bed for two
weeks, was denied all medical a

VOLUMli XXII.
"With last week's issue the Ri
OOBD cOrapleted its twenty-first
volume and became twenty-one

Established in 1878 by its pres
ent, editor and proprietor the
RECORD has never since made any
change and has never missed an
issue. Not only has the Recokd
never changed its editor and irro
prietor, but it has never changed
its politics nor wearied in its ef
forts to promote the best interests
of all the people, regardless of
their race, politics or religion. It
has not been blown about by every
wind and doctrine and advocated
measures merely because they
happen to have a temporary pop
ularity, but whether popular or
ftnpopular it has steadily and uu-
flinchimrlv advocated that which
its editor believed was best for
the public welfare. And after
persevering in this policy for
twenty-one years its editor has no
cause to regret doing so. Indeed
m . m t
af eer an existence ior so ionr a
time there has not appeared
single, solitary editorial in the
Record that its editor is now
ashamed of or resrrets having
written. Its editorials have al
frays been written with the con
sciousness that they would remain
in print long after the writer
eeased to live, and therefore they
nave not been written ior mere
temporary approval or favor.
Although the Recoud and its
editor have been frequently slan
dered and bitterly maligned by
-despicable demagogues, such at
tacks and their authors have been
Noticed only with silent contempt
feeling assured that whatever
anight be said by such creatures
would have no influence with any
body whose opinion is worth hav
sng. The Record has a higher
mission than to notice the barkinsr
of worthless curs.
The Record has no new prom
ises for the future, but will strive
to make its future worthy of its
past in every effort for the ad
vancement of the best interests o
. all classes of the people.
A meeting of the Democratic
editors of this State will be held
at Raleigh on Tuesday of Fair

This organization was decided
on at a meeting of the Democrati
editors, held after the adjourn

to prepare a constitution and by

Money Found in Mail Bags.
"It seems almost incredible that
in the neighborhood of $40,000 in
actual cash should have been con
lined to letters duriug the last
year, and harder still to credit
that the most exhaustive efforts
failed to find the owners of one
fourth of that amount," writes
Patti Lyle Collins in The Ladies'

"The envelopes which are kept on
file for four years, blank ones not
so long, but in either case a liberal
margin of time is allowed for
claimants to appear before the
money is finally turned into the

dition to the money contained in

something like $10,000 was found

Indications point to a m
daring act of imperialism
part ot tho administration m the
near future. The army of sixty
odd thousand men, which is being
so -hurriedly prepared for the
Philippines may be intended for
use eisewuere. xnere is talk
only whispers as yet inside ad
ministration circles about ar
rangements to buy (iff Aguinaldo
and his principal oliicers, and thus
bnn' about an early peace in the.
Philippines, and members of the
diplomatic -corps have received
from more than one foreign
government hints of an un
derstanding between Great Britain
and the United Slates, by
which the American armv in the
Philippines and the strong British
naval force in Asiatic waters may
be used to back up a joint demand
made by the United states and
Great Britain concerning the fu
ture government of China. This
matter has not goue far enough
to bo publicly discussed, and it
may not do so at all, but there are
numerous indications, not the
least of which is the sudden con
fidence in administration circles
that the Philippine war is almost
over, pointing to its probable, cor
rectness. Such a move would be
imperialism, indeed.
The Republicans are evidently
weakening on their attempt to
make it appear that Col. Bryan is
losing strength and prestige in
the West, i lie evidence the other
way is too ovei whelming lor them.
Hon. Marcus A. Smith, lonr a
delegate m Congress from Arizo
na, and who may return to public
lire as a senator, alter Arizona
becomes a State, savs of thepcliti
cal outlook: "Col. Bryan s name
will be the only one before tne
National Convention. He is even
stronger in tho West than he was
in '1)0. The Chicago platform
will be reaffirmed with additional
planks dealing with present issues,
There has been a revival of faith
in the ability of the Democrats to

The whole power of the Post-
Oince Department and ot the en
tire administration will be used to
prevent the fourth-class post
masters securing any legislation
from Congress that will result in
increasing their p?y. At the last
session oi L'ongress one post
master Mr. William II. Thomas,
of La Grange. Mo., was dis
charged for appearing in Washing
ton in the interest of the fourth
class postmasters and for sending
out circulars urging them to or
ganize for the purpose of secur
ing an increase of pay; and others
are being notified of the existence
of a rule prohibiting any postal
employee, under penalty of dis
missal, appearing in Washington

David S. Ilussel is the man who
let out the secrets, which have
been zealously guarded by Sum
mereil and his interested friends.
Ilussell is half-brother of Govern

S. Kussell is steward at the Cale

months he held that position at
the Northampton farm under
Lewis Summerell, and there is

"The twentieth Century" edi
tion of the Raleigh Atics and Ob
server, just issued, is a wonder to
behold and is said to be the largest
Newspaper ever published. It con
fains two hundred and twenty
eight pages of printed matter,
every page containing six columns
each twenty inches long. So that
its columns if placed end to end
in a single row would be about
half a mile in length. The num
ber of copies issued is twenty thou
e&BtL It is profusely illustrated
with pictures of prominent citi
zens of the State and of industrial
plants and landscape views.
And this edition is wonderful
lot merely because of its vast size
and typographical work, but also
for" the valuable information it
f on tains educational, . agricultu
ral, industrial and political
which is not only of temporary
interest, but of permanent value.
Every citizen of North Carolina
ought to have a copy not merely
to read now, but to keep for future
tise and reference, for its value
will increase as the years roll by. J
Silver in China.
From tho Philadelphia Record.
Silver is a legal tender in China;
but it is the same kind of a legal
tender it was in the time of Moses.
All payments are made in silver
by weight, and a dollar is not
looked upon by the Chinese as a
coin, but siniply as so much silver
with a "chop" or mark stamped
upon it by the Chinese as a vouch
of its weight and fineness. A
rough lump of silver passes as a
legal tender as readily as a coin.
You take your bar of silver and
have a piece cut off of weight to
suit the purchase you expect to
make. It will be perceived that
there is no inequity in the Chi
nese system. The silver passes
for what it is worth in the market
from day to day.
Fate in the Dewey Arch.
New York, Aug. 27. G. Turina,
a prominent sculptor, who had
been employed for some days on
the Dewey triumphal areh, died at
his home today.
Turina had been modeling a
statue of Paul Jones, and in order
to complete the statue had been
working extremely hard. He in
tended to continue his labors to
day, and arose early. Almost
immediately he staggered across
the room and fell. In a few min
utes he was dead. Turina was HO
years of age.
It will be remembered
Summerell was not drinking when
Joe Mayor, a life prisoner failed
to step m line. After Having been
severely whipped by two employes
at Summerell s command, the lat
er seized ,the. lash and peeled
Mayor over the head 'with the
staff. "Every time he hit him the
blooil would spout, so the wit
uess testilied . while speaking ot
Summcreli's methods. But that
was not all. Mayor's 'back was
beaten "raw." and then the heart
less supervisor started anew on
his sides.
Not satisfied with having bru
tally and cruelly tortured the
helpless negro starvation was next
attempted. For two days the ne
gro was denied any food as he lay
helpless on his hard bed not in
the hospital, but in a cell so Mr.
liussell testilied.
This was done at Summorell's
order, the witness said. After
having" starved him for two days
the Czar of the Itanch weakened
when appealed to bv Mr. liussell
aud permitted him to be tiiven
something to eat. For three weeks

Publicity was not to
visor's liking,- as it placed his
deeds too conspicuously before
the public. So when the vress
first sized up Lewis and his meth
ods an ancient and clumsy trick
was attempted to silence the news
papers and vindicate Summerell.
A statement was drawn by Mr.
Ed. Clark, so Ilussell says, which
set forth that no cruel ties had
ever been practiced at the North
ampton farm, and this was pre-
ranii ements for the industrial con-
ention, to be held ..here early in
October, today received a letter
from Senator John T. Morgan, in
reply to an invitation to address
the gathering. It is quite lineiy
that the Senator will attend the
convention, although he says he
cannot make a positive promise tft
this time. The subject chosen for
Senator Morgan is the "Nicaragua
Canal," and in relation to it he
says:
" the foreitrn markets are tnosc

enjoy the full measure of our ad
vantages. Towards the promo
tion of this policy nothing can Le
of greater advantage than a ship
canal through the Isthmus of

I speak with firm confidence in
great fact as an achievement that
is accomplished in the secure
foundations that have been laid
and only awaits, for a short pe
riod, its completion. A cotton

to reach the Orient with our cot

"The example of the wonderful

Smith, because he cannot prevent
tueir doing so. He says, however,
that he can block any legislation
by showing Congress what a large
sum of money it would cost to
even slightly raise the pay of
fourth-class postmasters, but he
admits that if this class of Federal
employees act together and bring
all their friends iniiuenee to bear
uponSenators and Representatives
it will be hard to beat them. He
really relies more -upon bluffing
many oi tuem out of joining" the
National League of Fourth-Class
Postmasters than upon any other
method of defeating them.
Aitnougn tnere nas oeen no
doubt on the subject for some
time, members of the administra
tion felt greatly relieved when
they knew that Ex-Czar Reed's
resignation as a member of the
House had been received and ac
cepted by the GoArernor of Maine.
The administration is expecting
some hard sledding- m Congress
this winter, and upon several im
portant matters Mr. Reed is
known to oppose Mr. Mclvinley's
policy; hence the relief to know
that it is beyond Mr. Reed's pow
er to head a Republican revolt in
the House. His retirement makes
it certain that the House will do
whatever Mr. McKinly wishes it
to do, but there will be trouble
and a heap of it in the Senate,
notwithstanding the efforts which
have been made to placate certain
Republican Senators with com
missions in the volunteer service
and other patronage.
Secretary Root says, and he
ought to know, that Gen. Otis will
not be removed from command of
the Philippine army.

W. 11. Dixon, who served as su
pervisor of Caledonia farm No. 2,
under the Fusion administration,
was on the witness stand' for an
hour. Mr. Dixon testified that
both of his former chiefs, Johnli.
Smith and J. M. Mewborue, were
without executive ability and un
qualified to discharge the duties
of superintendent of the peniten
tiary. Mr. Dixon had nothing- to con
ceal, and so far as the committee
was able to learn there was noth
ing1 to critcize in his conduct as
supervisor of the No. 2 farm. The
witness stated that ho was never
consulted as to the management
of his own farm, aud that he al
ways acted . under . orders from
headquarters. The most inter
esting information developed in
Mr. Dixon's testimony was that
the Caledonia .farms netted the
State about $25,000 a year clear
of expenses. Just how this amount
was squandered and an indebted
ness of $110,000 created in addi
tion by the management of tho
prison last year Mr. Dixon was
unable to state.

Wilson, Au. 23. Capt. Calvin
Eames was shot in the back from
ambush on the sitle of the road
about dusk totiight, within half
mile of Wilson, while returning
from his farm. Two little grand
children were in the buggy with
him: The ball was an old-fashioned
ounce Minnie ball, evidently
shot from a musket. It entered
the back of the left shoulder and
went through the body, coming
out near the right breast.
A negro on the road heard
groaning and went to Captain
liar ties' assistance and brought
him and his grandchildren home.
At 9 o'clock Captain Barnes was
thought to be sinking.
Bloodhounds have been tele
graphed for from Northampton
and a special train secured to
bring them here. A warrant has
been sworn out against a white
man on suspicion and officers have
gone for him tonight. The place
where Captain Barnes was shot is
being guarded so as to get the
trail when the dogs arrive. Crowds
on the street are discussing the
dastardly crime, and the citizens
and officers will take every pos
sible step to secure the perpetrator.
