THURSDAY,
June 2, 1904.
H. A LONDON. Editor.
The platform adopted by the
State convention of the revenue
officers is conspicuous for its hy
pocrisy and brazen effrontery. To
prove this we would call attention
to a few of its planks.
They pretend co "favor the edu
cation of the masses" and denounce
"the present Democratic State ad
ministration in its efforts to make
the common schools a part of the
Democratic machine." Every hon
est and intelligent man will admit
that the common schools of this
State were never in a better con-,
dition than they now are, and that
more has been done for the educa
tion of the masses under Gov.
Aycock's administration than ever
before. No man can truthfully
denv this. 'Under "the present
r
Democratic State administration"
more money has been expended for
'the education of the masses," the
school terms have been longer;
the school houses are better, and
more children are being educated
than ever before in this State.
Indeed so much has been done
for "the education of the masses"
tinder Gov. Aycock's administra
tion, that he has been aptly called
our "educational Governor." And
the idea of his efforts in behalf of
the common schools being de
nounced by a party whose Legis
lature took the public school
money to pay their per diem and
mileage!
They also denounced "the policy
of the Democratic party which
has resulted in driving both labor
and capital from our State,"
whereas the policy has had exact
ly the opposite effect. Every in
telligent man knows that more
capital has come to our State and
has been invested here during
Governor Aycock's administration
than during the same length of
time in any period of our State's
history. More companies have
been incorporated and more in
dustrial enterprises established
during "the present Democratic
administration" than during any
previous administration in the
history of North Carolina. No
man can truthfully deny this. Our
industrial development and the
inVASf.TYlAnf. nf na.llif.al ir fl-iia Sfata
has been phenomenal during the
past three years, and should
arouse the State pride of every
North Carolinian, regardless of
his politics.
This platform of revenue officers
also pretends to favor "just and
equal laws for the promotion of
temperance," but of course de
nounces the best temperance law
ever passed in this State. The
reason of this is easily understood,
because it has deprived of a job
bo many revenue "doodlers."
As is well known, the Watts Act
has abolished all the government
stills in this State outside of in
corporated towns, thereby de
priving a swarm of revenue eraug
ers and storekeepers of their "pie."
Of course then their convention
would naturally denounce such a
law. If they really do favor tem
perance why do they object to
abolishing whiskey stills and grog
shops? On this issue the good
people of North Carolina will
most assuredly oppose the reve
nue ring, and don't you forget it!
The Democrats of North Caro
lina are very willing to go before
the people and compare records
with the Republicans on these
three great questions of educa
tion, temperance and industrial
development.
The contempt case of Judge
Peebles against the Lumberton
lawyers is continued until the 14th
of this month, when it will be
heard at Fayetteyille by Judge
George H. Brown.
At the close of the hearing at
Lumberton, on last Saturday,
Judge Peebles created a great sen
sation by ordering E. W. Kerr,
K. C. Southerland and C. F. Car
roll to be imprisoned thirtv dav
in the jail of Robeson county and
pay a fine of $250. This is the
maximum punishment that can be
inflicted m contempt cases, and
this sentence was imposed because
these three had filed affidavits (at
request of the Lumberton law
yers) alleging that they had seen
juage .tree oies drunk. Mr.

Desperate Fighting By Japanese.
Tokio, May 28. Japan paid
heavily for her victories at Kin
Chou," Nan-Shan and Talien-Wan,
losiug 3,000 men in killed and
wounded in the repeated assaults
against these positions, bat she
scored a sweeping
and valuable
victory over the Russians, captur
fAfT
Port Arthur, and inflicting losses j
on
the Russians which in the end,
are exoected to total 2.000 -men
It is doubted if the Russians will
stand again north of Port Arthur.
They retired from the field beaten
and they failed to rally at Nan-Quan-Lans:
where it was antici
pated that a second stand would
be made.
The desperate onslaught of the
Japanese on the heights of Nan
Shan were telling, for the Rus
sians left 300 dead in the trenches
there. A complete search of this
field is expected to show a greater
number of dead.
Nan-Quong-Lang was occupied
yesterday morning by a force of
infantry, artillery and engineers
under the command of General
Nakamura. The main Japanese
force spent Friday night in the
villages around Nan-Shan. The
soldiers were greatly fatigued as
a result of the constant fighting,
but they entered with much spirit
upon the new operations.J
A force of Russians held San
chilipu station, which is north
west of Dalny, but the Japanese
drove them out. The Russians
abandoned and burned the station
and retired in the direction of
Port Arthur.
The estimate of the Russians
engaged in the defense of Kin
Chou, Nan-Shan hill and the
south shore of Talien-Wan bay
vary, but it is evident that the
Russians drew for men from the
forces at Port Arthur and offered
all the resistance possible. It is
understood here that Lieutenant
General Stoessel, commander of
the military forces at Port Ar
thur, was in personal command of
the recent operations.
As soon as the Japanese troops
have rested they will press cn to
the south.
The Japanese assault on Nan
Shan hill was one of the fiercest
and bloodiest affairs in modern
warfare. In the earlier rushes of
the engagement every man par
ticipating was shot down before
he reached the first line of Rus
sian trenches. It was found neces
sary to stop these infantry charg
es and renew the artillery fire
from the rear before the final and
successful assault on the Russian
position could be made. The suc
cess of this assault was brought
about by one detachment of Jap
anese troops, more intrepid than
their comrades, who succeed
ed in piercing the Russian lines.
A splendid stroke of fortune was
the discovery and destruction by
the Japanese of the electric wires
leading to the mines of the east
ern foot of Nan-Shan hill. This
prevented the Russians from ex
ploding these mines when the
Japanese infantry crossed the
ground where they had been
placed. It is possible that the
fortune of the day hinged upon
these mines. If the Russians had
been able to explode them at the
right time the losses upon the
Japanese troops would have been
tremendous, and it is possible al
so that the Russians would have
been able to hold the hill.
Alligator In Moore County.
Corre-pondencA Charlotte Observer.
Pinebluff, May 28. A large al
ligator, ten feet five inches in
length, was caught and killed by
two negroes at Keyser yesterday.
The animal shows every evidence
of old age, the teeth being broken
and the lower jaw being scarred,
presumably from fighting. The
two negi oes were great ly excited
and frightened, one placing his
shot gun against the animal's side
and firing-, then striking it in the
head with an axe, tearing the skin
in both places. J. J. Winz. a tax
idermist of this place, has pur
chased the alligator, and is tan
ning the hide quite a difficult
task. The supposition is that the
alligator strayed up the creek and
small streams from Wilmington
or the coast.

Washington Letter.
fFromonr Reeuiar Correspondent.!
Washington, May 27, 1904.
Several Congressmen of both
C9SUJCU Ul jwii
parties have lingered behind their ,
1 . . P ,
. . . m
derstood that the next executive
officer to be hauled over the coals
by a committee of Congress is
Secretary Hitchcock of the Inte
rior Department. Loud com
plaints are made of corruption in
the Indian Bureau and peculiar
methods in the Geological Sur
vey. Hitchcock is not believed to
be personally dishonest, but it is
alleged that he has permitted his
! agents, especially those who are
his especial favorites, to violate
the law to their own emolument.
If the Anadarko Indian Agency in
! Oklahoma wsre investigated it is
WOUld Show how

its head. One of these men is
known to have drawn three sala
ries simultaneously. In investi
gating the Anadarko agency the
public would like to know how
much land was turned into town
lots and sold as such which had
been taken from the Indians un
der the pretense that it was need
ed for agency purposes.
A case of peculiar cruelty and
hardship is that of the Klamath
Indians in Oregon. ' The adminis
tration wanted a large part of the
Klamath reservation for its favor
ites a million and a half of acres,
constituting the most valuable
pine forest in America. It was a
virgin tract, never having echoed
to the sound of an axe. By the
usual misrepresentation and fraud
these Indians were induced to
sign awiy their rich estate. Not
only were there hundreds of
thousands of acres of the most
magnificent forest on this conti
nent, "continuous woods, where
rolls theOregon and hears no sound
save his own dashings," gigautic
columns of redwood, and supurb
oak, but there were vast tracts of
rich arable land capable of grow
ing wheat enough for the whole
state. This wood aud these acres
were iuacessable to avarice, but
the covetous white man knew that
with the opening of roads would
come vast wealth to the owner.
The mammoth trees ou some sin
gle acres are worth 1,000! So the
crafty speculator got some drunk
and wheedled and coerced them
into agreeing to sell their laud
for what a committee should ap
prize it at. In the contract was
the provision that the value of
burned tracts or injured trees
should be deducted. Then the
fiendish villiaus who sought to
obtain the land sent men in there
with axe and torch and maimed
and burned individual trees here
and there enough to justify the
scoundrelly committee in apprais
ing the laud at 8G cents an acre.
The Indians were helpless and
had to Biibmit, though the pur
chasers could have sold the whole
tract the next day for $3,000,000.
Very well; a sum was put in an
appropriation bill in Congress to
pay the Indians 86 cents an acre
for the reservation. Now the se
quel: the money was not paid.
When their patience was exhaust
ed by waiting the Klamath In
dians sent a delegation to Wash
ington consisting of their "best
men" who were confounded on ar
riving at being told that they had
already been paid for the laud
in certain roundabout ways and
nothing more was due them. This
delegation of Indians has now
gone home, after having made
their plaintive appeals to the Sec
retary of the Interior during the
winter.
One of Secretary Hitchcock's
favorites sent westward his check
to pa his expenses while travel
ing there amounting to $970. He
accompanied it with the remark,
"Never mind the change; you gave
me a good time while I was there."
All friends of the Indian will be
glad to know that Senator Quay's
bill to protect their rights to
property was passed and became
a law during the winter, - in the
face of the vigorous opposition of
Secretary Hitchcock. The Secre
tary wished to retain authority to
cancel an allotment, which would
have permitted unscrupulous men
to resort to all sorts of dishonest
schemes to have a desirable hold
ing cancelled.
Mr. A. L. Alesworth, chief clerk
of the Dawes Commission,, re
signed when the Bonaparte re
port was made public. Notwith
standing Mr. Bonaparte's criti
cisms Secretary Hitchcock at
once appointed him to a much
more., responsible, position that
of special land agent for the In
terior Department. The duties of
this official are to in vestigate land i
frauds, and the man who fills it i
should be more above suspicion
than Caesar's wife.

"Bobwhites" Useful to Farmers.
Washington, May 29. The or
nithologists of the Department of
Agriculture have been making an
investigation of the economic val
ue of the bobwhite, as a result of
which it is now announced that
that bird is "probably the most
useful abundant species on the
farms." Eield observations, ex
periments and examinations show
that it consumes large quantities
of weed seeds and destrojrs many
of the worst insect pests with
which farmers contend, and yet it
does not destroy grain, fruit or
any other crop. It is figured that
from September 1 to April 30, an
uually, in Virginia alone, the to
tal consumption of weed seed by
bobwhites amounts to 573 tons.
Some of the pests which it habit
ually destroys, the report sa3's,
are the Mexican cotton boll wee
vil, which damages the cotton
crop upwards of $15,000,000 a
year; the pests of the potato crop,
the cotton worms, which have been
known to cause $30,000,000 loss
in a year; the chince-bug, and the
Rock Mount locust. The report
urges measures to secure the pres
ervation of the bobwhites in this
country. -
Serious Cutting Affray.
Special to Charlotte Observer.
Asheville, May . 30. A serious
and :perhaps fatal cutting . affray
occurred in Victoria, near Ashe
ville.this afternoon about 4 o'clock,
j when a mau named Stepp cut an
other white man named Mender
son Stallings with a pocket knife.
Stalliugs received a deep gash
from the back of his neck to the
center of his throat, a portion of
his left ear was cut entirely off,
and three cuts were made on his
left arm. Dr. Roy Williams, who
attended the. injured man, said
that, had Stepp's knife gone a
fractional part of an inch deeper,
death would have resulted in
stantly. As it is the wound is a
dangerous one, aud the ultimate
outcome cannot j-et be told. Both
Stalliugs aud Stepp are married
men, and the trouble is said to
have arisen over a young woman
who had been staying at Stepp's
house, and who had left and gone
to stay with Stalliugs. Stepp
was arrested and is now in jail.
Druggist's Costly Mistake.
8peelal to The Morning Post,
Asheville, N. C, May 2G. Be
cause a prescription clerk in the
employ of Dr. T. C. Smith, a well
known dragrgist of this city, filled
a prescription for M. D. Stevens
with balladona instead of the
medicine prescribed by the phy
sician, the victim of the balladona
has been awarded $400 by an ar
bitration board composed of three
well known citizens. It seems
that Mr. Stevens took a teaspoou
ful of the poisonous medicine be
fore he ,was; aware of the mistake
and a physician was- immediately
sent for, and by heroic efforts the
victim's. Jife. was saved. Upon his
recovery he asked the drug-grist
to pay him $500 damages. The
matter was left to an arbitration
board with the result that Mr.
Stevens was awarded 400. The
amount will be paid.

Burlington, May 30. A fatal
and distressing accident occurred
here about 11:20 last night. . As
through freight No. 184, east

idly moving train and was in
stantly killed. Mr. Ross went to
Greensboro yesterday afternoon
