V THE COUNTY UNION. DUNN, Harnett County, N. C. Entered accoi ding to postal regula glons at the postoffice at Dunn, N. C, as tecond class matter. - J. P. PirTMAN, Proprietor, A. M. Wood all, Editor. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. Three Months .25 Cents Six Months - 50 Cents One Year $1.00 Sent by Mail. Payable in advance. Dunn, N. C, December 14. 1898. We have received a "politi cal suggestion" from Jas. D. McNeill, Esq., of Fayette ville, printed in circular form. It makes some splendid sugges tions as to the kind of an. elec tion law that the coming legis lature should pass. Mr. Mc Neill, we understand is a can didate for Railroad Commis sioner. He has been an active party worker and is well qual ified for the position to which he aspires. One of the clauses of the "just and fair election law" that the legislature will pass, should be that every voter must produce his tax receipt showing that he had paid his taxes, before he is allowed to vote. Mr. McNeill, of Fayette ville, makes this suggestion and we heartly endorse it. This one clause would save the State and counties a deal of money. The Baptist State Conven tion met in Greenville last week where it was organized 68 years ago. There were only 14 dele gates present then, now there were hundreds of delegates rep resenting a membership of 175 000 whites and more than that number of colored Baptists in North Carolina. The conven tion represented -the largest re ligious . organization in the State, which had collected dur ing the past year more than $300,000 for all purposes, and added nearly 10,000 new mem bers. The "water route" seems to be popular in our State. How to solve the 1 race prob lem is one of the great ques tions now before this country. Henry Hardy, a colored man living in Washington City, gives a Post reporter a solution which is good. He said: "I have a brother -down in North Carolina that has solved the race question, so far as he is individually concerned. He owns two good farms, and has quite a large number of horses, mules, and cows. All this property he earned by steady attention to business. He takes no iuterest in politics. The best white people in the coun try are his friends, and his note for a considerable sum is as good at the bank as any man's. My own observation is that the better class of whites and the respectable portion of black people, who mind their own business and have no time to loaf about, get on well in the BOUth. The war tax on receipts foi i i express pacKaes nas given a deal of controversy and litiga tjon in the courts. Shippers claimed that the express com panies should pay the tax and the express companies claimed that the shippers should pay the stamp. The courts have held that the tax must be paid but does not say who it must be paid by. But says that the ex press companies can demard that the shipper pay the stamp tax or refuse to take his pack age for transportation. An ex press company does business on certain rules and regulations and is allowed to charge cer tain compensation for carrying certain packages certain dis tances; When the government taxed express receipts it did not say who should pay it and left it with the carrier and the ship per. If a merchant sells an ar ticle that is taxed he charges a price sufficient to cover the cost of the article and the amount of the tax. So it is with the ex press companies. They charge you for the stamp and carry the article you wish for the same price as before the tax was put on the receipt. Jf individuals do these things can they expect a corporation to. do otherwise?

Jlood & Graothaai Total Eclipse in 1900. , In May, 1900, the sun will hn in total ecliDse along a path passing through Norfolk, Va., Kaleich, IN . U., Mooiie, Aia., and New Orleans. Mr. C. H. Davis, Superinten dent of the United States Naval Observatory, of Washington, D. C. is anxious that suitable arrangements be made for es tablishing observing " stations along the line. It is proposed to establish one in Raleigh. With the approval of Secretary Long Mr. Davis asks Congress to make available in the appro priation bill for the next fiscal year $5,000 for the expenses. It will be visible in Washington only as a partial eclipse. In his communication Mr. Davis says : ' 'It would be .necessary to se lect observing stations at sever al points on this line to which stations properly equipped par ties ,f rom this observatory would be assigned. The travelling expenses of these parties might be covered under the regular naval appropriation for the year but the estimate submitted is intended to include the prepa ration and outfit of instruments and their transportation, the purchase of additional appara tus and materials, including photographic material, theerec tion of suitable building's at each station, arid generally the expense of preparation and ob servation, including the living expenses of parties at the sev eral stations. The estimate submittecTis believed to be am ple for these purposes. The in struments used in observing the transit of Venus in 1874 and 1882 are available for this work . "It is unnecessary to dilate on the importance of this work. The UnitedJStates has usually co-operated with, other parties, representing their own govern ments wTill be inxthis country, and it is desirable that the Unit ed States should not be behind hand in an astronomical event which occurs in its own territo ry. Raleigh Post. Negroes Continue to Leave. The exodus of - negroes from this city seems to continue without abatement. A mem ber of the Star staff was told yesterday by a railroad official who is in a position to know, that from six to a dozen ne groes buy tickets and leave here daily over the Atlantic Coast Line alone. Eight negroes bought tickets to New York, via Newbern, yesterday. A majority of those who leave go to New York and other Northern cities. Some go West and South. A large number of others leave the city on tickets j sent to them by relatives. The j thorough scare they received during the recent race trouble and the present crusade by business men for the substitu tion of white for colored labor are the causes of the exodus. A great many white people are coming to the, city in the stead ;of these outgoing negroes, so ;that in the opinion of conserva j tive busiuess men the popula tion conditions are being very much improved, with little or no loss and possibly a gain in numbers. Wilmington Star. A Christmas Wedding. The Union has received the following card : "Mr. and Mrs. Wm. M. Bal lentine request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Araorette to James M. Judd, M. D., Sun day, December the twenty-fifth, at High Noon, Wake Chapel Christian Church, Varina, North Carolina." Dr. Judd is located in this county, at Winslow, and is one of the best and most successful1 physicians and a young gentle mm of high character and in tegrity. The people in this State de mand that the railroads provide separate cars for white and col ored passengers and the coming legislature will be asked to make a law requiring them to do so. The railroads will of course oppose this law, but it is one of the thiugs that the peo ple demand and will be passed. The negro cannot object if as good accommodations are provi ded for him as for the white people. To Cure Constipation Forever. Take Casearets Candr Cathartic- 10 or 25c. If C. C.

Dr. Milburn, the blind chaplain of the Senate made the following prayer : "By Thy good providence, the Chaplain prayed, "triumph has crowned our arms bv land and sea, so that peace has come to us through the council cham ber. Let thy grace be the ppr- tion of our people, ana may their hearts, be 'rendered in service to Thee and to all men. We pray that Thy blessings may be with the Queen Regent of Spam and her young son, and on her nation. May Thy heavenly grace come to secure and uplift and uphold that stricken people. Grant that all good may be given to us, to our mother land, and to all nations ; and may we walk hand in hand with our- brethren across the sea to the heights of Christian civilization." Senator Butler, the man "who never fooled the people," when offered a seat on the Dem ocratic side of the Senate cham ber, preferred to remain on the Republican side The offer was made so that a Republican Sen ator could occupy a seat with his party. But the gentleman from Honeycutts didn't fool you. He held to his seat. The Democratic side had no- charm for him. The negro editor, Alex Man ly, who left' Wilmington to save his skin, after slandering the white women of the south, is residing in Asbury Park, N. J., and it is said, that he will re sume the publication of the Re cord there. He expects to pose as a martyr and get thesympa thy and support of those people Up there who believe that the negro is treated badly in our Southland; Unless M a n 1 y shows more wis'dom in his edi torial express there than he did in Wilmington he will hardly succeed in fooling the people Another negro, Wm. L. Jef fries, the associate editor of the Record, claims that he wrote the infamous article and to him belongs the honor of pos ing as a martyr. Numbers of negroes are going through the North claiming to have been driven from Wilmington and are working this game to get money.

The total vote . of the State at the last election was the greatest ever cast, larger by several thousands than that cast two years - ago. The total fusion vote was only a b out 4000 more than Russell received for Governor two years ago. No fusionist can claim fraud fpi his kind had the majority on the election board.

In a fight in the First Flori da regiment at Huntsville, Ala., Monday, two soldiers were killed. One man was killed and six others wounded in a fight at a school exhibition Sunday night near Poca, W. Va. Col. William Jennings Bryan has sent in his resignation as colonel of the Third Nebraska regiment, now in camp at Sa vannah, Ga., awaiting orders to sail for Cuba. General GalixtO Garcia, the noted Cuban General and the head of the commission elected by the Cuban Assembly to vis5 it this country, died at the Ho tel Raleigh in Washington Sun day morning of pneumonia. He was a great and respected leader of the Cubans and his death is a sad one for the Cu bans. The First Regiment of North Carolina volunteers arrived at Havana, Sunday morning. Monday they disembarked and marched through the city to the camp at Marainao seven miles from Havana. The band play ed and the Stars and Stripes fluttered in the breeze as they marched and many hundred Cubans followed them shouting exclamations of joy. Some Cubans attempted to have all the places of amuse ment in the city of Havana closed Sunday evening on the announcement of the death of General Garcia in Washington. This Drought 'the intense feel ing of the Spaniards to play and a fight occurred in which three Cubans were killed, and a Spanish officer and two Cubans wounded. A dispatch from Manila of the 12th says : The Isla de Cuba, one of the cruisers sunk by Ad miral Dewey, in the battle of Manila, on May 1st, last, and which he subsequently caused to be raised, started for Hone Kong to-day under her own steam. She is of 1,030 tons displacement and 2,700 indica ted horse power.

All ot tlie govern ment transports in serviceable condition are required for the movement, of the United States army, so the War Departmen will be obliged to invite propo sals from transportation compa nies to carry the men.
