I Under the above heading the5 Ra leigh Times, whose editor is a Siouth Carolinian, publishes the following jjitorial on Franklin J. Moses, gov Sftior of South Carolina during re ,3Qnstruction times, and who died I a Vfew dajs ago from asphyxiation a cheap lodging house in a Massif. usetts town: 'Franklin J. Moses, onca governor South Carolina during recon8tru' n dajs, was without doubt tfie 8t notorious thief that ever invarf. this section during the days Jpf pet bag rule. He did not invade literally, for be was a produeyV of e soil he robbed. He was a young Aan of promise, serving as private sroretary to Goy. Pickens. Wearing a confederate uniform he' hoisted the South Carolina Hag over Fort Sfumter after its evacuation by Fed jefal troops in 18G1, and hundreds of 'his friends predicted a future tor him that wa3 fairly glittering. Three days ago he was asphyxiated in a cheap lodgiug house in Alaska cfcusetts, after serving many tonus in prison and without a friend. "He served only one term as gov ernor. It has beeu e chined that Bis fellow thieves woul ! not noini i Hate him again because they feared there would be nothing left to steel after he had satistied his greed. But 5hile he ruled he was a wholesale def. At one time while he was speaker of the house of representa- fives he gave a party in an evil r a rt afttd spent $1,500 for champaign. tie paid the bill with an order on the state treasurer, signed by lum en f as speaker, "for legislative sup plies." That was merely u sample. It does no good at this late day to recall those terrible days, the suffer ibg, the crime that afflicted a noble people. It is the memory of Moses, and the men of his ilk, that has never made possible the formation of a decent republican party in the state. Mosej was a meet conspnu dus criminal in official life. He was nown as "the robber governor,"and he was the robber up to the hour of tUB ueam. REPUBLICANS BACKSLIDING. i ' For one reason or another the Ob i server occasionally finds it necessary dt advisable to devote snace to a 1 roere rant. The following from the ) Union Republican, of Winston K -might have had some faint excuse six years ago: "The fathers and friends of poor f vehite boys should 'begin to cut their watching' for the election in 1908, for after that the Democratic educa tional qualification in the constitu tional amendment will be placed up oh them, and will restrict them in the matter of voting just as it now restricts the negro. As the Demo crats 'are in the saddle' no man can fcell to what extreme the people will be driven. First, it was the poll tax v requisite to vote. Now comes the 'educational qualification. Next you Vnay look out for the property-hold-'t to be given absolute control of the illot box and the poor white man - lnied the rights of a free and hber '. Uoving American citizen guaran d by the constitution which was ('. Jght by the bload of our ancestors in 1 was left by them to us as a pr ?cious heritage." s JUDGE EVER SAID ANY- I THING OF THE KIND. . A good deal has been said about a declaration alleged to have been 'made by a certain evangelist in Charlotte recently in referring to v""iabit which is said to prevail Jome sections among ladies who at cards, stating that one t i the Superior Court judges recent- eaid; jg"If you bring these women before iie and prove that they have played cards for prizes, I will see to it that they are put uporthe chain gang with the nigger who shoots craps at five cents a crap. We do not know where the evange list received his information that one of our Superior Court judges '( ever gave utterance to such a state' ; ment, but we do know something of font Superior Court judges, and do f not believe that such utterance was t made by any one of them. ; . - -- I This, of course does not merit a (reply. We only reproduce it to I show that nt least part ot the Repub lican party in North Carolina is politically no better, no more lit to be trusted with ttf 5 government than it ever was, and because we want to ba6e this question upon it: Do the men who consider themselves responsible for the policy of the Republican party in the state intend to revive this sort of demagogy for use in the campaign of 1908, the last chance for it, after professing to accept the constitutional amend ment in good faith and soliciting re cruits on the strength of that accept ance? It is said tbat" t e Pulman Com pany pays its porters only twenty five dollars a month, thereby mak ing them dependent upon the pub lic for at least half their wages. And it is said that the Pulman Company pays its conductors so little that they too are relying upon the public for "tips" to supplement their pay. That Company makes the railroads pay for Jtlie privilege of hauling its cars. We agree with the Charlotte Observer when it is said that "it is more greedy than any other trust, and that it is a hog if there ever was one." The last State Fair was the most successful oue we have had in many years. It was a Fair without any fakirs or humbugs, no gambling and no games of robbery. A Man looses His Mliot tiun and a Liquor. lug o Henry Garlvan, a white man, and Troy Spencer, are charged with go ing into the pasture of Mr. Charles Stauback, in Upper Richmond, not long since, and stealing a Jersey bull, killing the animal and taking it away. The Wadeboro Messenger says that last Friday, while Garlvan was paddling down Pee Dee river, near Biuitt's Falls, the boat cap size! throwing him out. Garlvan had in the boat with him a Win chester rifle, a shot gun, a ham and a jug or whiskey. Garlvan held on to the rifle but the other articles he abandoned, and the last seen of him he was making for the Richmond! side of the river as fast as he could make his way over the rocks m thj bed or the river at this point.
