Wednesday was a busy day in the way of trials at 'fc'quire W J HillV court. Threo casis were brought before him, and in each case a bond was required and the parties bound over te courts Th& first was the trial of John Kail, who was arrested fur the cats ting of Cicero Thompson on elec tion night. Hall is a carpenter by trade. . He Is about five feet high, weighs about 140 pounds and wears a light mustache. Evidence is very -strong againBt Hall. He was bound over to court in the sum of $100. Case No. 2 was the trial of white man by the name of Redwine for carrying a concealed weapon and firing a pistol at a woman. This scrape took place on Mr. Milt Morris' place election day. A negro boy w .s up before th 'Squhe for cutting another boy, in No. STYvnship, the day of election. All of them gave bond and were re leased until court week in January. The Status of the Segro Voter The Southport Ledger, in com menting on the election, gives the negro foter a straight blow in the eye, and ba3 about the same opinion of him as the Messenger, as expresss cd in an edeiorial the day after the election. The Ledger says : "The negro vote has gone solid in nearly every portion of North Caro lina for any ticket that wa3 not Democratic. Republican, Populi3t or fusion were eagerly accepted and voted, regardless of solicitation biibes or threats from Democrats. u The election of last Tuesday un questionally places the negro in this SiaUdBfon his own footing, and es lao tojiaheV for him a status which must irrevocably be his iorever. The negro must rise or fall upen his own merits, and instead of being constantly watched over and pros tected by the white people, he must rely in the future upon h niself, and in . measure of his weakness or strength must be succeed or fail. V?J8egrjidle6i of favora extended :jhrtrtigh many years by the Tiemo" cratic party in this State, the negro has shown himself entirely opposed to the part;, individually and col lectively. He has shown himself ins dependent, politically, and the same favor should be snowu L;in in olLir lines, thns making him stand square ly upon his own merit, his own ef fects to decide his present and future welfare ana prosperity. "There is no reason why the negro 6hould be independent in politics of the Democratic party, and in his ; every day life be a constant receiver of benefits from the members of the party, which he persistently opposes at the polls. . The Democratic party of North Carolina has always been the friend and protector of the colored race, it will always treat the race humanely, but politically, the conditions exist ing are der ided I y anomalous, and it remains for the Democrats to realize and act upon this matter in an open and honest way. - Judge Barringer in Charlotte.

C, says : Marion Butler, president of the National Farmers' Alliance, who is stated to succeed Senator Ransom in the United States Senate after March 4th text, ia reported as having stated that he would vote with the Republicans in the organization of thenext Senate.. If-4hia is so, the Republicans can count on both of North Carolina's votes in the or- ganization of - the Senate as the other Senator to be elected in J&nu ary by the Legislature to succeed Jarvis will be a Republican. Dr. J J Mott, exchairman of the Republican State committee, seems to be in the lead for that position. ' Senator Bloody. The official returns from Cabarrus county give Mr W A Moody a maj ority in that county of 180, and as the majority against him in Stanly county is only 108 he is elected as Senator to represent Stanly and Ca barrus by a total of 72. We n say of Mr. Moody that during the entire campaign he sustained bis reputation as a clever gentleman. As poeitively refused during the campaign to commit himself on the question of the United State Sena tors, we Lope that he will finally re fuse to vote for Butler, If he will only do this many friends will stand ready to welcome him back into the Democratic party on his return from Raleigh Stauly News. These are wordsof Mr Jerome, Mr Moody's adversary in the campaign. A Man loses a K'atcb.
