Smith and John C. Dancy are both applicants for the office of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. For the past few weeks these two gentle men have been having a wordy battle through the columns of the Washington Star, and in order that our readers may Ka fuller infnrniut Q a fit fh mfttt,Pr W print the articles of the gentlemen, to-' ' 1 ii. . s .Ua oij. gemer wun 1110 wuuueuui ui ud owr thereon. Mr. Smith began the contro vfrv hv ifwuinar a circular, which 8D- . roared in the Star the latter part of March, as follows: ; " The scramble among the colored poli ticians of the States for the position or Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia is growing more interesting each week. Candidates are not only mul tiplying, but devising novel means of announcing themselves. The latest E resumptive aspirant for the local job 1 Isaac H. Smith, " The Original McKin ley Man," of Newbern. N. C. It may be a gross injustice to Mr. Smith to place him in -this attitude, but the inference sedms a fair one in view of the following circular just issued by him, over hid name, and under the striking caption, "Important Question Put: Would it be Right": ' If Mr. Fitz8immons had won a fine house in Washington City as a result of his triumph over Corbett, which rented annually for $4,000, and John Smith had been the original true friend of Mr. Fitz simmons and Wm. Dancy had been an original true friend of Mr. Corbett; if either, which one should live in Mr. Fitz simmons' house without paying rent at the pleasure of Mr. Fitzsimmons? ' If, in a caee where a nomination is equivalent to an election, when William Dancy bitterly opposed a candidate up to an including the nominating convention, is William Dancy entitled to an office in and under that administration, which never would have existed had things gone his way ? ' Has the colored race any unit organi zation saving and excepting the minis try? Then, if two persons in the same church by chance were applying for the same office ia Washington City, and should William Dancy rind John Smith was unanimously indorsed by all the bishops of the A. M. E. Zion Church of America, having one million souls under their Godly watch care, and other in dorsements equal to another million of people, should William Dancy, or vice versa, undertake to undermine John Smith by asking the indorsers of John Smith to come off the petition of John RtnitH and go otk the petition of Wm. Dancy, would the one guilty of such be fitting and worthy to hold an office over the cultered and refined people of Wash ington City? 'Is not the President entitled to the profound thanks of the country for hold ing to the popular doctrine that all presi dential appointees hold office during their commission ? 'Do you not understand the rule to be that when a chieftain triumphs, that all his original friends triumph also? If this be not the way, would not such a one be rewarding bis enemies and punishing bis friends, and would not such a person go down in history as being a first-class in grate? Mr. John C. Dancy of Salisbury; N. C, is kindly invited to answer these questions through the press of the coun try. (Signed) Isaac H. Smith, ' The Original McKinley Man, Newbern, N. C. "The device of concealing identities by altering first names is not so very bewil dering, but that the average reader can discern in " Wm. Dancy " the redoubta ble John C. Dancy, who early announced himself as a "dead-sure candidate for the recordership," or " John Smith " as the ingenious propounder of Che queries. As a springtime conundrum, therefore, the " Important Question " is not as great a success as a fiesh and entertaining con tribution to the history of the great rush from North Carolina for the office sup ported solely by the citizens of the Dis trict of Columbia." On April 2d the Star contained the fol lowing: "CANDIDATE DANCY'S REPLY. "The Star recently published an inter esting document from one of the North Carolina candidates for the local position of Recorder of Deeds that went to show that the contest for this place has begun to engender a feeling of bitterness. To day Mr. John C. Dancy submits a reply to that circular, which was signed by one of bis rivals for the job that Mr. Dancy once announced to be his beyond peraa venture. Mr. Dancy has been in the city for some time, presumably to make sure .that his prize was not filched from him by one of the several equally "dead-sure" candidates. He evidently came from North Carolina prepared for a literary encounter with the enemy, for his letter is mainly written upon the official sta tionery of the " State of North Carolina, Senate Chamber." These letter-heads, it is interesting to note, bear the seal of the State, which contains the motto, "Esse Quam Videri" which, translated into Washingtonian, means "To Be Rather Than to Seem." Under these circum stances, it is to be presumed that Mr. Dancy 's words may be taken without the customary grain of salt that should usu ally accompany the digestion of the ut terances of an aspirant for office. In the course of his ' reply to Mr. Smith Mr. Dancy says: THE REPLY. ' My attention has been called to a cir cular letter from I. H Smith, of North Carolina, which appears in your valuable Eaper, asking numerous questions, which e calls on me to answer. Ordinarily I do not seek newspaper notoriety of this character, but the prominence which has been given my name in certain official connection places upon me. the penalty which all such prominence imposes. "While I do not think the attitude of any Republican before the convention in sustaining the candidacy of ' his personal or political friend but who afterwards manfully and loyally supported the nom inee of the party's national convention should militate against him in securing political preferment, yet, in order that injustice may not be done me, I beg to correct the impression sought to be made by the circular. In the first place, North Carolina wa a McKinley State. When the fight was on, one of the first of the western Coun ties to hold its convention was my own county of Rowan, which unanimously indorsed and instructed its delegates, of which I was one, to the State and Dis trict conventions, to vote for McKinley delegates to the national convention. My congressional district unanimously instructed its delegates to vote for Mc Kinley. The State convention, of which I was a member and 6txretary, without opposition, instructed its delegates to vote for McKinley for President. The President is himself aware of the fact, I am quite sure, that one of the earliest telegrams of congratulation on his prospective nomination that came to him was one from Bishop J. W. Hod and myself jointly from Yonkers, N. Y., where the bishop's conference was iu session two days before he was actually nominated. " The above facts are so potent to al.l that my indorsements for the recorder ship from North Carolina include the Republican Senator and three Represen tatives, who were all McKinley men. and nearly all the delegates to the na tional convention, who were pretty nearly all McKinley men, as well an the suppor ters of the other candidates. In New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Tennes see and North Carolina, I workd day and night for a series of weeks endeav oring to give emphasis to the cause for which those magnetic and patriotic can didates stood. This statement is made only in the interest of fair play in order that personal ambitions may not so far forget as to strike a foul blow in order to gratify personal pique. , " In my fight for the recordership I have studiously avoided whatever might be construed as personal. I would not give offense to or calumniate any candi date for the place. It is the right of who ever will to aspire. That right has never yet been denied to any not even an out- eider since a non resident nas always secured it. No man has thus far objected to the District having its over quota of representation in the departments. We are all friendly to the District. I was educated here on the hill at Howard University and was in the government service here. Indeed, nearly eight years of my life were spent here, and I feel al most as a District man, although I claim residence in and maintain allegiance to North Carolina, and pay taxes to help beautify and adorn our most magnificent city the nation's capital." In the Star of April 8th the following appears: "candidate smith rf joins. "The mail from Newbern, N. C, this morning brought a new page of the hi-j-tory of the great raid of tar heel Repub licans on the local office of Recorder of Deeds. The latest contribution to the record was a let'er to the Star from Can didate John C. Dancy, of Salisbury, N. C, in which he brought arguments of a certain sort to bear on the vagu1 claims and charges of Candidate Isaac II. Smith, of Newbern, N. C, who hinted that Candidate Dancy was not a g name Mc Kinley man. while he posed conpicu ously as "The Original McKinley Man." Candidate Smith now returns the fire, under the following attention captivating heading: "Rejoinder to Mr. Djncy's Eva sive Reply; Since His Reply to My Im portant Questions in the Star Was Eva sive, Likewise is My Rejoinder Evasive." Then, "to whom it may concert ," fol lows the subjoined remarkable deliver ance, which is presented verbatim, as a means of casting light upon the nature of the talents that have aspired to the position of Recorder of Deeds. Candi date Smith writes thus: - "MB. SMITH'S REJOINDER. Mr. Dancy, if you know, give the Associated Press the names of the four who traveled this country over on a free 1 ,000 noilo fciokc txr tliak-e- a orntimmt against the present piospective adminis tion during the early part of the last campaign. Did not one of the four live in North Carolina? Give the names of that man who did all he could to cut th political throat of the head of the present administration, and is now making more noise and asking the adminisiration more favors than all its original friends in this country. Throw light on this point, eince the election Democratic papers have said more in your favor to be Recorder thau they have said in favor of the President of the United States. Rev. R. H. W. Leak, of Raleigh, N. C, is what I call an honest man. He was an anti to the present prospective administration, and now he is not trying to cut a feliow out of what belongs to him by honestly ask ing this administration for anything. 'An honest man is honest in politics, and he is just as honest as his heart is pure and epotless. . 'If it be the sentiment, then it is a dis honest sentiment to favor giving the fod der to the horse that didn't pull the plow. You say in your reply that the sena tor and the three Representatives of North Carolina are among your indursers, etc. Your statement may or may not be correct, but at any rate honesty does not nor can it indorse you over one who worked many a night until 4 a. m. tor the success of the present administra tion. I suppose this Country understands I am a successful business man, and I am not an office-seeker, and have visible means of support. It is May, 1898, be fore Mr. C. H. J. Taylor's term expires. Let us wait on fate. Mr. Dancy, tell the press who wrote ninety-six letters to each Republican county chairman in North Carolina, seeking to make senti ment favorable to the head of the pres ent administration early is the last cam paign, at his own expense. You made a few speeches after the die was cast, but I am told that you did not make them at your expense. Tell the press I spent more of my own money and consumed more of my own time during the last campaign than any one man in North Carolina. You are entirely mistaken when you say the State was a McKinley State any how. . It was a McKinley Slate after Senator J. C. Pritehard had worked and toiled day and night. I feel now as I felt then: May God bless the Senator for his great political work in the interest of the present administration. 'Did you know I have a letter offering me an office early in the campaign as a bait to go against the head of the present administration? Since I declined this, how can an honest, original McKinley man oppose me for any office under this administration ? A man who will use means on a godly man and succeeded in getting him to do a black, sinful act in belying his word, indorsing two men for the same office, is unfit to hold any office.' "FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS AWAITED. . "Candidate Smith signs himself, as usual, "The Original McKinley Man." The political world will doubtlets pause with bated breath for the disclosure of the awful facts hinted at in bis conclud ing paragraph, the plainest meaning of which cannot be otherwise than that Candidate Dancy managed, in the con fusion of the campaign and the excite ment of Congratulating the nominee, to get his wires crossed in adding his influ ential name to tne application papers of aspiring North Carolinians. Tnese de velopments will be awaited with interest." In the same issue of the Star is the following editorial comment: ' "THE RECORDERSHIP BOW. ' "More illiterate literature has been con tributed to the wordy war between two of the North Carolina candidates for the position of District Recorder of Deeds and appears in the news columns of ibis issue. The Star gives place to this mat ter as an object-lesson showing the kind of men who aspire to hold office Here. It fehould not only illuminate the whole question of home rule and spoils seeking but it should furnish to President Mc Kinley additional reasons for the settle ment of this dispute by the appointment of some good local man for this office which is supported wholly by the money of local property owners. These letters, pipsing back and forth between the can didates, are all based on the impudent assumption that the office bel ngs to one of them by right. They bring to the eupport of the authors and the abuse of their rivals arguments and inuendoes that lower the whole affair to the level of a scramble for the position of town crier or coroner in s ime petty community where factional feeling runs high. The President cannot help being informed by these as to the real character of the con test and its participants, and the logical result cf such information, as already suggested, is the prompt selection of a Washingtonian for this District office and the rebuke of these undignified place hunters.who invoke religion, politics and blackguard abuse indiscriminately in their behalf." It seems that since this controversy has taktn place that a new order of things have been developed, as is told in the following dispatch sent out from Washington by the Associated Press last Sunday: "North Caroliua Republicans claim that they have succeedtd in getting the ap pointment of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia for their State, Their efforts in behalf of a North Caro lina colored man for this place have been handicapped by having two candidates in the fiwld for good positions. John C. Dancy has been the candidate for Recor der of Deeds, while ex-Representative Cheatham has been the State candidate for Register of the Treasury. Senator Pritehard and his North Carolina follow ers have now arranged a deal by which they will push Cheatham for Recorder of Deeds and make Dancy Collector of Cus toms at Wilmington. Both men are said to be satisfied with this deal. Senator Pritehard was at the White House this morning, accompanied by Representative White. Cheatham and Dancy were with them. The matter was gone over with President, and Senator Pritehard believes everything is now fixed. The North Carolina men confidently ciaim that they are entitled to more consideration than the Republicans of any other State be cause of the showing they made in the last election." The Colored American says: "The wool gathering ' match that is going on between the Hon. J. C. Dancy and Bro. Isaac H. Smith, of North Caro lina, for the Recordership of Deeds, is to be dVplored. North Carolina is a large State with plenty official pa'ronage at the disposal of President McKinley, and these two irascible individuals should 'po A" their issues and combine upon two separate and distinct jobs. Bro. Dancy is a man of intellectuality and definite purpo-e, while Bro. Smith is a meteor of in-aiiarie ambition and irrepressible en ergy. Tee chaLCis of appointment is largely against either one of them, and we think it would be wisdom on their part to amicably agree on two fat Slate offices. In unity there is stiength, and when Bro. Dancy and Bro. Smith fall in their efforts to reach the Recordership the sound of their contact with earth will be dull, heavy and sickening." Misses Brooks and Wassom tbe Guests of Mrs. E. K. Smith-Violet Club Honors Them. Socially speaking, on last Monday eve our little "boro" was alive. The ban quet given in Williams Hall in honor of Mioses Brooks and Wassom will long live in our midst. The ball was beautifully decorated wi'h ferns and cut flowers. Otmra of rnriouj binds were enjoyed. There were short and witty speeches de livered by several distinguished persons, while the music, falling from the deft fir gem ;f Mi 8 J. A. Amee, wafted to or ears by the gentle evening zephyr, made us feel that we were basking in the sunlight of musical literature and drink ing from an overrunning musical fount. Mr. E. E.

It was our pleasure last Tuesday to stop at tbe Eastern Hospital and spend the afternoon with our many friends there. We are always shown through the differ ent departments by the polite and clever attendants with the greatest of pleasure. The institution has a large number of patients, and there seems to be no dimi nution of insanity among' the colored people. The daily accession of patients to tbe asylum is unusually large new ones are coming in almost daily. The completion of tbe new wing to the build ing for females makes it available to ac commodate many more patients. We were taken through the building and around the yard, and over a part of the farm and a more clever set of attendants and employees, both ladies and gentle men, we have never met. In the carpenter's department we found Mr. Spencer A. Best, a Christian gentle man, a man of honor and trust; also we had the pleasure of meeting his wife. Among others we met were Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Vail, Mr. and Mis. Isham Dunn, Miss Susan Smith. Wm. Hawkins, W. H. Pridgen, H. J. Oliver, L. D. Herring, Fred. Hines, F. J. Shaw, Miss Priscilia Williams, C. H. Hines, E. F. Faison, J. R. Short, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Crudup, McMorgan, Isham Ireland, P. A. High, A. B. Howell, O. B. Badger, S. J. Hatch, Miss Satah Utley, Mrs. Frances Mooie and husband, J. H. Herring and James E. Mclver. We kindly thank those who favored us with cash renewals to the Gazette. There were twenty -eight conversions at the recent revival held at Martin Street Baptist Church, seventy at St. Paul A. M. E Church, and the meeting is being con tinued; five at the East Raleigh Christian Church; three at the Fayetteville Stieet Baptist Church. The people eeem to be more interested in the good work than ever before in the city of Raleigh. THE CITY FINANCES. At the meeting of the Board of Alder men last week the Finance Committee submitted the following rrport: " Your Committee tn Finance beg leave to submit herewith their annual report for the fiscal year ending March 1, 1897, and we sincerely hope that every citizen of the city of Raleigh will thoroughly fa miliarize themselves with thmiuute de tails given in this report. We beg to call attention especially to the itemized ac count of the receipts and disbursements, a summary of which is herewith present ed, and suggest that this statement has bten made possible from tbe fact that your committee has divided the expendi ture of tbe city into departments, charg ing every item of expenses to its proper department. Receipts from March 1, 1896, to February 28, 1897, $75,662.39. "It will be noticed from the above statement that the disbursements exceed ed the receipts by a little over $7,000; Lut of tne disbursements $16,531 was paid to the commi sioner of the sinking fund and $16,864 wasBpenton permanent improve ments, thus making the actual running expenses for the year $49,583. The dis bursements have exceeded the receipts every year for the pst several years. The only way 10 remedy this matter is to increase the value of the property or to increase the tax rate or to issue bond, for we believe that the expenditures have been made as meagre and economical as possible. Your committee refused 10 in crease the taxes, hoping that the increase of value and the receipts fronf taxation on same would cover the actual expenses. We regret to note that this has not been the case. We are doing what no other city undertakes to do, viz: to make per manent improvements without issuing bonds, but if this policy is continued we must either borrow money qr we must issue bonds for these permanent improve ments. We have $30,000 of old 6 per cent bonds falling due next July. We are authorized by statute to issue a 5 per cent bond for the purpose of taking up these expiring bonds. If we do this we can take up the outstanding warrants of the city, which now aggregate, by an accu mulation of three or four years, the turn of $18,147.89, and have a surplus for per manent improvements. In order to keep the expenditures of the city within the proper limits the committee recommend ed and the board adopted the following apportionment of funds to be expended by the different departments during the year 1897: Administration department. .....$ 7,000 Strtet department 15,000 Health department 4,000 Police department... 9,000 Park department 1,000 Sewer department 1,000 Cemetery department . :. 650 Light department j 7,500 Charities department 3,000 Water department . . i. 5,000 Fire department '. 4,000 Market department 600 Total $61,750 We think this is a very meagre amount for each department, and yet the city's receipts will not more than cover these appropriations. Upon examination your committee found enough back taxes on real esta:e which were collectible at tbe time they were due to pay the entire floating debt of the citv. We had a bill introduce d in tbe last Legislature giving us power to coilect these back taxes on real -sta'e, but the same web defeated by the Repre sentative from this county, Jas. H.Young, a Republican. All of which is respectfully submitted. J. D. BOUSHALL, - John C. Drewry. Clayton, N. C, Mar. 19, 1897. Hon. James II.

Ring rule in Raleigh must go, for the people have decreed it. Rocky Hount Grits. Rev. O. B. Alston, of Norfolk, Va., was in our town several days the past week. He is looking out for something. W&tch the Rev., ye young men. Ex Representative W. W. Watson, of Whitaker's. was in town last Sunday. Mr. D. W. Winstead, Rocky Mount's pipular barber, has moved from West Railroad S reet to Tarbt.ro Street, where he invites the public generally to call to see him. Hon. George H. White passed through last Sunday. He was in excellent spirits, as he always is. The funeral of Mrs. Jane Harvey will be preached on the fourth Sunday in April by Rev. J. W. Wood, at the Second Baotiat Church. The tnrtortemerjt by Congressman G. H. White of Prof. I. D. Hargett for postmaster, gives intense satisfaction, with the exception of three or, possibly four kickers, who think no one deserves any recognition unless he is tttyled a poli tician. And this don't go lowadiys, from the fact that Congressman White paid all bills brought to him during the campaign, and any man who works for race and party ouccesa needs no pay; but Congressman White says he paid out e'ght hundred dollars for such valiant and patriotic services. Now. we think, n m-politician should pwsibl. have a show, as 'he other j are paid already. We are glad to announce that Mr. M. M. Hines, one of Rocky Mount's purest business men, who w as an tpplicaut for the postmaster ship bere, is erfectly sat isfied at Mr. White's endorsement of Prof. I. D. Hfcrgett for the same position Mr. Hint s said all along that if he was not successful, he would get down upon his knees and pray for Mr. Hargeti to receive the appointment. All honor to such pure, nonJe, honest, and generous hearted fellow-citizens. IWs an example that a good many should put in opera tion. What about that letter sent to the Senator and telling him you had been Uft in tbe cold. Whereupon he made big threats, but oh, my, it was only heard and seen as the air ship. Mr. W. R. Harrison is O. K. Say, did you ever get left? They do say that the Grit man keeps up a disturbance all the time. Right, you are, and he doesn't care a continen tal either, because he knows that he i right and battling for the right. He will always expose wrong doing when it is necessary. There was a meeting called in Wash ington. By whom? Why, the man Friday. For what? Why, 10 get out a committee to urge my man's claim, or eke I am left. We know of another surprise in store. Watch out for it. They say. Miss Ella Wettry on the 26th and Mies Mattie Drake later on. On, it is so nice to expect, girls. Miss Theodosia Home visited her par ents in Wilson last Sunday. Mr. Scott, of Goldsboro, passed through last Sunday. Congressman White knows thekickers, but he will make his appointments to suit his constituents. Mr. P. L. Edwards is president of the A..C. L. Club; Mr. C. C. Mclatire, secre tary. Wa'Ch 'em; it w a otrotig team Mr. T. F. Gee is pi evident d ;n town Club; Mr. C. E Bryan, secretary. Look out for competition. Let ua work in uni'.n. Mr. Jordan Putyer writes to Miss C, in Tarboro, several times a week. Use tbe 'phone, Mr. Jordan, and you can en joy it betier. Miss Rosa Gray says she can't, just now; but Gnts knows a gentleman who says that if Miss R a will just say yes, he is alieady prepared for her. Guess his name. Bishop Petty and wife passed through last week. W. S. A. Eastern Snap-Shots. Falsehood may win at times, but in tbe end one will fail at vicious falsehoods. Hou. J. J. Martin has been agreed upon by Senator Pritehard and Congressman White as postmaster at Tarboro, N. C. We congratulate our lifelong friends, Ed. Cheek and J. M. Pittman, the future postmasters of Halifax and Tillery. The dice is thrown for Rocky Mount. There must be some disappointed ones. It looks like John W. Lnyd will be as sistant postmaster at Tarooro, N. C. Every man cannot secure a piece of pie. The Negro is not a united as he might be. In this year of grace none but the truthful can get a Federal office. Hon. Geo. H White is a Negro with backbone and character, and will make no prom ises that he can't fill. Snap-Shots must say that Edgecombe holds claim to the late Mrs. Jennie Young Satterwhite. She taught school near B ittleboro, N. C. , and was idolized by tbe citizens of that neighborh od.
