W. IT. MILLER, Editoe&Prop’r.
TirORSDAY, JULY 2, 1891.
TO C ORRESFONDENTS.
Sonic of our correspouclents mis
take Ibe mission of o. new8pa})er.
The Aurora is not the place for our
corretipondentB to give malice and
personal abuse. One corres}>oii'Ient
war) 18 the Aurora to publish that
ccrliiiti alderoien got drunk recently;
another oiu- \hat Jeems earrits a jug
in his travels, a third that Jim Jones
h;is skipped !o S. C. If these men
have violaled the laws of the laud,
commitud crimep, then the Aurora
will publish their rascality, but pri
vate malice and personal abuse do
not properly belong to decent jour
nalism. If you have a grievance, go
to your enemy like a while man, tell
hjtti to his face your abuse jM|^et a
whippin". There is no nenl^W per-
Bonal aj^'l contin^ii^ ubuse.^^Cind-
ncss is' a more potent weaprju, the
only one Hanctioiied by the Bible.
The ^vlooresboro controversy is
-tdosed with this issue—too tedious
and personal. We do not wish for
our correspondents to wash their
dirty linen in Aurora. The people
might think what each says of the
olher 18 true. So fight your battles
face to face, or hush.
but it is })r>,.babIo lhat its str-.ngth
will accompli'li much good in de
feating the Jlejiublicana in Kansas,
NeViraska anl Ohio. So we llilnk
the decrease m the iJemocraiic v(.>te
South will be amply com))en?ated by
the aid it will give the Democrats in
the West, and the South will not
suftVr much detriment from the Alli
ance. The honest yeom:u;ry of this
state will we trust act wisely. In
thin ^^talo the Democratic party has
granted and endorse*! the Alliance de
mands and the two should move
in harmony against the enemy.
THE ATTACK ON REV. FIFE.
The cowardly attack upon Evan
gelist Fife by three men armed with
sticks and a pistol in Greensboro was
c ndemned by the citizens. We re
gret that Judge Schenck a Presbyte
rian elder, should have incited by
uss words” such an attack upon a
Presbyterian minister. For three
men to attack one minister is dishon-
t ■ orable, but for three men to assail
]^om the rear a peacable man in the
iught adds to the enormity of the of
fense.
For this violence the sheriff and
police are partly responsible and it
sriows that the sheriff and police are
under the dominion of bar-rooms,
these ofKcials should be displaced by
more faithful men. The policeman
warned of an impending disturbance
did nothing to prevent the cowardly
attack. "We regret that such an em
inent lawyer as Judge Schcnck
sliould have encouraged this affair,
although he deemed his provocation
justified the assault.
.Rev. Fife did wrong in making
unkind remarks in the pulpit about
a true aXd noble woman, Mrs. Judge
by three men and the pistol shot by
y yung Schenck. Rev. Fife perhaps
n.eant to boldly reprove sin in high
})iaces and thought Mrs. S. ought
not to have chaperoned a round
dance on the Guilford battle-ground,
near the graves of the heroic dead;
yet hi^ methods were too personal
and too severe. The pulpit is not
the i>lace for personal attacks on our
Southern wojn«n, so true and noble.
Harsh criticism and insults do not
altract, but repel sinners from the
Cross. Christ sought to elevate the
lowly and soothe the bruised and
- wounded heart thirsting for right
eousness.
Mrs. Schenck, wisely or unwise-
1}'^'chaperoned that dance, this in-
'di^cretion did not give the minister
the right to make a personal attack
o?i a lady. She w'as responsible to
her coris'cienee and Maker but not to
the censorious minister who errone
ously supposed a german as bad as
a bar-room.
Bad boy:?, like Eli’s sons, sonie-
times had a fond and illustrious
father into a disgraceful row. The
minister has tlie right to reprove sin
iu high places, but he should not in
dividualize in a church and resort to
personal abuse. If -the editor were
Saturday night on a quiet, orderly
drunk, the minister has a right to
openly remove drunkenness, but not
the right to-state in the pulpit that
\Y. II. M. or A. B. was drunk last
night at home. Let him reprove
privately and in kindness.
THE THIRD PARTY.
The principle and platform of the
Alliance bitterly oppose tbe j)rinci-
ples of the Republican party, yet the
Alliance and Democratic plal forms
are closely allied and hold similar
views upon all important doctrines
except upon the Sub-treasury plan.
The North Carolina Democrats last
year endorsed the alliance })latform
as requested at Raleigh by the Al
liance leaders and there was har
mony in the State campaign.
The Sub-treasury is a economic
question endorsed by many and bit
terly oppos^Al V)y Western Alliance
leaders. Gcf/ernor Tillman has taken
the stump against this scheme in
South Carolina and he threatens to
expose its fallacies, but the Alliance
fondly cherish this scheme as an an
tidote to our financial distress.
Tillman is an able leader of the AI
liance party, but his antagonism of
this pet scheme may dethrone Till-
1. The Alliance is so wedded to
this Sub-treasury plan that one-eyed
Tillman may share the fate of one-
legged Hampton who wi^^over-
thrown by the Alliance.

We are glad to be able to say that

nice time, talking, laughing, eating
cherries, and listening to Mr. Edd

up witk quite a singular and funny
accident not long since. lie plowed
his ox out near well not thinking
of what might be hidden in his
weeds. A wasp sat down upon his
ox and caused it to jump into the
well which had 8 feet water in it.
and came very near pulling Billy in
with it. The well being large and
the ox’s knowledge of diving saved
his life and the ox was soon floating
on top. Some saw mill men were
near and on hearing Billy’s calls for
help were soon by his side with a
log chain to pull him out. The ox
was not hurt; but Billy says he has
improved since he got a good bath
and no bruises.

'ure strength of the Third
party in the North-West and the
South IS a fruitful theme for discus
sion among the politicians. In the
North-West the Republicans fight
this new movement and regard it as
a Democratic annex, while 'the
Southern Democrats wish to retain
a Sobd South and antagonize the
formation of a new party. Will the
Alliance, the bone and sinew of the
Democratic party in the South, sever
the ties that have bound them for
half a century and unite to form a
new organization and break down
the Democracy which has fought so
manfully the battles of the South ?
This question can be better answer
ed by the Alliance leaders. Capf. Al
exander a level-headed Alliance
leader and Democrat thinks it will
not do much in North Carolina and
that this state will remain Democratic.
Col. L. L. Polk, the Alliance Pres
ident, warmly advocates this new
party and may lead the Alliance
through the medium of the Progres
sive Farmer, and Alliance lecturers
into this new party. It may hurt
somewhat the Southern. Democracy,
Discord in South Caroliua.
A dispatch from Charleston says :
“A serious bolt is threatened in the
Farmers’ Alliance ranks in this State
and the Sub-Treasury scheme is said
to be the entering wedge that will
split the party. It has just become
known that a Conference was held
in Columbia several weeks ago at
which a large number of the leading
Alliance men were present. Gov.
Tillman, who is opposed to the Sub-
Treasury plan, w'as at the head, and
it was attended by most of the State
officials, Senator Irby, Congr||pmen
Stackhouse and SheU. The editor
of the Alliance organ of the State,
the Cotton Plant, was not invited.
The meeting was not harmonious,
but it is understood that it was deci
ded to do away with the Alliance
organ, and a committee was appoint
ed to see what could be done toward
establishing a daily newspaper, to be
rnn in the interests of the present
administration and opposed to the
Sub-Treasury plan. The caucus it
is thought, will lead to an entire
change in the Alliance party lines in
this State. {
HOT FOR FIFE.
JUDGE SCHENCK AND SONS
ASSAULT HIM AT M’ADOO
HOUSE, GREENS
BORO.
For Criticisins: Mrs. Schenck.
According, to reports Judge
Schenck gave him a severe lecture,
Judge Schenck’s son knocked him
down, and somebody shot at him.
It all came about by Mr. Fife’s
strictures on the fact that dancing
was countenanced on the Guilford
Battle Grounds. Judge Schenck,
the President of the GuWfor^ Battle
Grounds Associatjon, took offence
at the j-emarks of the evangelist, and
after the meeting the evangelist went
up to Judge Schenck to make friends.
It was no go. The Judge was not
in that sort of a humor, and his son,
taking sides with the Judge, assault
ed the evangelist, knocking him
down. About the same time some
one shot at Mr. Fife. The affair has
stirred up Greensboro wonderfully.
They^ are surely having rattling times
there.
A large crowd of citizens assem
bled at the courth(>use at 8:30 o’c^k
to publicly denftiiH^e the at^(^
citizens were greatly excited. Rt^^
lutions severely denouncing the
whole affair were passed unani-.
mously. .
The whole city is'stirred from top
to bottom.
The affair rose out of a bitter de
nunciation of the pic nio held at the
battle ground chaperoned by Mis.
Schench reflecting on her character.'
THE if ASS MEETING UESOLUTIOXS.
We, the undersigned comrnittee
appointed by a mass meeting of the
citizens of Greensboro to report a
resolution expressive of the sense of
the law abiding Christian people of
this meeting as to the oct5urrence of
the attack made last night on Evan
gelist Wm. P. Fife, beg leave to re
port as follows:
Resolved 1, That this meeting re
grets and is mortified at the attack
made on Wm. P. Fife last night in
front of the McAdoo and without
going to any question of blame be
tween the parties, but simply expres
sing the sense of this meeting as to
the act. We deplore and condemn
the act especially as to the manner
of it, and the occasion and place, and
it w^ in our opinion improper, un
called for and unjustifiable, and to
be condemned by all law abiding
citizens without any regard to ques
tions of personal provocation.
Resolved 2, That in vindication of
the good name of our city and of the
Christian and law abiding citizens of
our community we feel it to be our
duty to declare this condemnation
and disapproval in emphatic terms.
RespectKilly submitted,

.lUDGE SCHENCriv’s STATEMENT.
GiiEENsnoRO, N.G.,June27.—The
Yonnty save
a iiop at the battle grounds, and at
their request my '^wife acted as
chaprone. Mr. Fife has alluded to
this dance a half dozen times, once
describing the hugging of the dance,
again comparing, as I am credibly
informed, to a scene in a grog shop,
and saying the dance was worse than
the grog shop.
At last he alluded to the chaperon/j
of the dance and said that the next
pic-nic at the battle ground was
chaperoned by a noble Christian lady
who would not allow such pccnes as
occurred at the dance.
These repeated and offensive al
lusions caused my sons to go to Mr.
Fife’s room and demand an explana
tion and apology for the insult to my
wife. This Mr. Fife made and
promised, as they state, to allude to
it no fhore.
Jjast he again characterized the
dance as “miserable and abominable.”
For this he was attacked by my sons
and as I v-^as near by, some one struck
me a heavy blow from behind and
for awhile I was unconscious.
When I recovered and while
smarting under the blow I denounced
Fife to the crowd in severe language.
I did not strike a blow.
The meeting here to-day was com
posed of the patrons and participants
in the Fife meeting who seem to be
infatuated with Fife. I have many
friends who are standing by me in
this unfortunate trouble.
I have done no wrong, I went to
the scene to preserve peace, but
when Fife approached me from out
of the crowd and offered his hand, I
refused to take it calling him a scoun
drel, and then the tight began.
No one deplores the difficulty more
than I, but the allusion to my wife
was so pointed and offensive as to
create remarks from every one who
heard it. Her stnS' fought for a
Christian mother’s good name.
D. Schenck.

any Democrat would believe any
such Prohibition taffy ? Moores-
boro has alway^.given a Republican
majority and this election was based
by Mr. Gilbert the Ring Leader of
the Radicals here and his ticket was
Republican of course, except White’s
brother-in-law, who claims to be a
Democrat. Now, Gentlemen of the
Democratic party, I again say this
was purely a j^olitical contest and its
useless for mo to say anything about
the Radicals, you know them too
well to even think of believing ?uoh
a statement as made by men. Gil
bert, the Radical Ring Leader of
our town.
Talk about a man being ashamed
to own that this was a prohibition
contest. No Sir, I have shown my
colors in everything, I take a drink
of whisky when I wisfe, am an anti
and a true blue Democrat. Mf.tjil-
bert voted for “License” two j^fars
ago and worked for it as faithful as
any one, but man for popularity he
comes out pretending to be a pro
hibitionist—such a one he is too.

This is a^iother Radicals misr«pre-
sentation. Yes, he did happen (?)
to get one from a negro—“like seeks

Mr. Gilbert’s prescription—IsiTt it
a dandy ? He surely was using'ihis
while at Charlotte Federal Court
when he shook hands with the same
negro four times in. thirty minutes.
He must of been using it when at
Shelby court this spring as his Con
duct indicated and it must have been
this self-same prescription that pre
vented him from attending to the
mails not long since and the mail
carrier had to keep the mail pouch
till next morning.
Then he claims to be a Prohibi
tionist and sober man. Holy Moses!
So mote it be ! I never was drunk
and defy any man to say so. Again,
he makes his appearance in that self
same presciption as meek as a lamb
and says use no prejudice. Great
Scotts !! There never lived a man
that held more prejudice towards
his fellow men than him.
Again, he, speaks of religion,
Amen. This he must have acquired
while usirig'that notorious prescrip
tion, as no one .here was aware that
he ever possessed such. I amaorr
to know Mr. Gilbert has made sucl
an untrue sta^ment and all who
visit our town ^Svill be convinced
that he has misrepresented Moores-
boro from ^ beginning ; to end. We
have as qui^t nice a town as there
is in the State.
In the outset I did not intend to
rpake tbis a personal affair, or seek
a newspaper conti^^versy, but only

The canvass in Ohio this year will
necessarily make the tariff "issue
prominent. If the contest turned
upon that question alone there would
be every reason to expect a Demo
cratic triumph. Unfortunate there
is a want of harmony among Ohio
Democrats concerning state and lo
cal matters which goes far to com
plicate the struggle. The c.ampaign,
however, must necessarily bo one of
education upon the tariff', and to
that extent will be beneficial to the
Democratic party for the future,
whether they carry the state this
year or not.—Louisville . Courier-

Charlotte News: Mr. Chas. Scott,
a printer employed at the Chronicle
office, attempted to commit suicide
at 2 o’ch'ck Wednesday morning, by
cutting his throat. He made a gash
from which blood flowed quite free

cutting deep enough. He was stand

A friend who was with him, ruBhed

could make a second' attempt. The
motive that prompted Scott to the
deed is said to be domestic trouble.
He had understood that his wife had
eloped, when in fact, she had only
gone to Pineville, having hired a
livery stable turnout to take her
there. Scott is a fine ’^printer and

than the sun itself. The Wilmington
Star says: In a few days the rotation

SENSATIONAL CHARGES
AGAINST PRESI1>ENT
BEERS.
Mudo by Cashier Banta -An In
vestigation Ordered and In
vited of the Company’s Affairs.
At New York, Cashier Theo. M.
Banta, of the New York Life, some
time ago sent to the Directors a
statement of the charges against the
management of the company, which
have just been made public. After
explaining by quotations from the
company’s books how near it had
come to going to pieces, Mr. Banta
turned his attention to President
Beers, against whom he made be
tween twenty and thirty charges, al
leging, along with other things, per
jury in swearing to the truthfulness
of the reports that were not truthful;
paying sums of money for blackmail
to suppress exposures of the com
pany’s methods, and ducting that
such sums bo charged to the cash
account in order to avoid their in
spection by the Auditing Committee;
violating the law that prevents a
trustee h-om handling the stocks and
bonds owned by the company. An
other charge stated tliat the l*resi-
dent had sent large sums of the com-
t trustee to be in-
ve^^>yhim in WalHstreet, and
that jjroper'records of tnese dealings
had not been made in the ofiice.
The President was also charged with
appointing to the company’s most
important agency a notorious gam
bler, who was at one time hundreds
of thousands of dollars in arrears to
the company. Another charge
which he made against the Presi
dent was that of speculating in Wall
street; another was that enormous
sums have been paid to corrupt and
suppress legislation at Albany. The
publication of these charges has
caused a great sensation here, and
has resulted iu the ordering of an ex
amination by Superintendent Pierce.
Michael Shannon, who is at present
iu New York, will conduct the ex
amination.
Later.—New York Life Ins. Co.
has invited Superintendent Pierce
to examine the company.
