ABOUT THE PENITENTIARY
Some days ago the entire pop
ulation of North Carolina and the
civilized inhabitants of Hawaii
aud the Philippines were startled
at the announcement that Gc-er-nor
Russell had appointed "Cap1n
Bill Day" superintendent of the
penitentiary, vice J. M. Mevv'
boorue resigned.
It had come to be the prevail
ing sentiment throughout the
State that Governor Russell could
not spring any more surprises
upon the people that anything
he might do in his official capacity
would he received with com
placency by a public whom, it
was thought, he had so belabored
during his administation, thus
far, wi h the flail of his execu
tive that they had become cal
lous to his misconduct of the high
office he has so signally disgraced.
But, the day of surprises is not
an epoch of the past. Only yester
day we read in a newspaper that
a negro down in Georgia, lured
by the aroma of beaten biscuit
baking in the oven of a neighbor's
stove actually stole the hot stove
in order to secure the banquet
within, but had to drop it before
he had satiated his desire.
There is an apropos moral in
this stove incident for the Demo
cratic legislature to take unto it
self which being interpreted in
plain English means, that 'Cap'n
Bill Day" should be dropped, and
dropped quick. We hope that no
Democratic member of the Gen
eral assembly will be so for
getful of the recent past or so
short sighted of the future as to
even suggest on the outside
much less in the halls of legisla
tion, tbe retention of "Cap'n"
Day as superintendent- of the
penitentiary.
The Aegus is constrained to
make this delivearnce by reason
of the announcement, and repeat
ed assurance, without comment,
by Raleigh Democratic papers,
that Capt . Day will appoint none
but Democrats to places under
him; and already several have
been appointed, and others des
ignated; which would suggest the
surmise, it not warrant tne con
clusion, that Capt. , Day hopes
to thus ingratiate himself into fa
vor with the Democratic legisla
ture and forestall their action in
the premises.
Be this as it may, there is one
thing settled in North Carolina
beyond all peradventure, and that
is, that the people of the State
are sick of Russellism, Populism
and Fusion and "Cap n Bill
Day" is all of these and more:
he is Russell's appointee. He has
been Russell's apologist even to
the extent of "blaspheemy (as
Jim Pou would say) equal to
Russell's when lauding his Fat
ness and abus ng Democrats and
Democracy, within recent months.
He has been a veering, vacillating
politician, training with all par
ties in power and true to none in
adversity.
The Democracy that stood firm
bv the people during the travail
of fusion, that fought the great
battle of '98 and. redeemed the
State, and is now entering upon
the administration of its affairs,
has patriots and statesmen
enough in its ranks competent to
fill any and all offices in the State
and worthy ot the preferment.
We need no hold-overs from
Russell's regime, even though ap
pointed bv him on the eve of
'evacuation," and as quasi Dem
ocrats.
Moreover, it is believed that
the administration of the peni
tentiary has been the most incom
petent, if not corrupt, of any
branch of the State's affairs, de
manding of. the Democratic Leg
islature the closest investigation,
and Capt. Day has been Governor
Russell's attorney and confiden
tial advisor. How, then, can the
Legislature discover and unearth,
as it should, what of corruption
has prevailed in the peniten
tiary affairs, when at the head of
it stands Governor - llussell s paid
attorney to thwait them in their
researches?

FOR RAILROAD COMMIS
SIONER. Since it was first instituted .in
North Carolina the Riil Road
Comiiission has been a mutter of
deepest interest to the people of
our State and to the Railroads, as
well.
Tde position of Railroid.Gom
misiioner is one of greatest im
portance, as it has to deal with
freight and passenger rate?, upon
which depend tbe cummerca and
intercourse of the entire people.
It icquires, therefore, a nfiin of
fiiiniss ks well as deserving. The
fact is, there are few men quali
fied for the exacting position, for
the reason that few men available
possess the necessary kno'vledaje
of the subject to do justic3 to all
parties concerned and that is
what the commission was created
for and what the people demand.
Of course the new Commis
sioners to be elected by the com
ing Legislature must be tried and
true Democrats, but men should
not be advanced to these impor
tant places simply because they
are polr.icians. God knows fusion
did enough of that in North Car
olina to last for all time, and re
tribution, born of an outraged
people's righteous indignation, has
followed swift and sweeping.
We have in Golasboro a man
admirably equipped for and de
serving abrea?t of any in the
Stnte of the preferment, 'f nat man
is Capt. Thos. W. Slocumb. He
was born in this county. His fa
ther before him was born here,
and his grandfather represented
this section with distinguished
ability in Congress, and died
there, before' the days of Kail
roads, and is buried in the Con
gressional cemetery in Washing
ton. He comes of a long line of
distinguished statesmen and pa
triots, and he has ever shown
himself worthy of his lineage. He
volunteered in the Confederate
service when the war first broke
out, and hundreds of his old com
rades in arms attest to his bravely
acd heroism in battle during
those four long and fearful years
of the South's history. He has
been as loyal to tho Democratic
party as he was to ''The Bonnie
Blue Flag.
For aquaiter of a century he has
tilled with absolute efficiency the
responsible position of agent at
Goldsboro for tbe great Atlantic
Coast Line, and in that capacity.
has had to deal with every poss
ible phase of transportation rates
and controversy, and yet he has
always found time to attend his
party's conventions and has ever
taken an active interest in ad
vancin? its successes and sustain
ing it in times of adversity.
No man in North ' Carolina is
better posted on railroad matters
than is Capt. Slocumb; He knows
all abou"; freight and passenger
rates and his knowledge and com
prehensive experience would be of
incalculable value to the Com
mission. He is a man of the high
est character, faultless habits, and
of untiring energy, and would do
absolute justice to all concerned.
The Legislature could not do
the whole State a better service
than by electing Capt. Slocumb
one of the three Railroad Com
missioners.

one dreaded disease that science

being a constitutional disease re
quires a constitutional treatment,
Hall s Catarrh Cure is taken mtei

thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by b ulding up the consti

its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers,

A wreck at sea is not the only place
where a life line is of i7npovtnr.ee."
There is a life line for the sick, a? well as
for the drowning man. It is Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It is not a
eure-all, but it is a scientific medicine that
foes to the fountain hcrnl of a number of
serious and fatal dir,earc. When a man
pets seriously sick, he can pcnerallv be
cured by the rig-fit cture of treatment.
The treatment that curt.-, many obstinate
chronic diseases consists i f pure air, good
food, rational exercise, .-"the- use of a
remedy that wii sin then the weak
stomach, correct 4ie iv.i) aired digestion,
'twig-orate the liver ai:d promote "the as
similation of the live-giving elements of
the food. The "Goidtu Medical Discov
ery " accomplishes all these things.
" A youngf man lay pale r.nd motionless upon
(what neighbors called-) his flying bed. Disease
of the lungs, liver com plain, t. kii'mey trouble, and
?leurisy were fast hastening him "to tlte grave,
he doctors had given him up to die. Ti'.e
neighbors said, ' he cannot live.' ' Oh, 1 would
not care to die,' he said, ' vere it not for leaving
my dear wife and little child, but I k-now thnt I
must die. A brother had presented him with
three bottles of medicine, hnt he hat nofaiih in
' patent medicines ' ; but, after the doctors had
grvien him up t die and he i-d banished every
hope of recovery, he said t; Ins v,'i;e, dear wife,
I am going to die, there cri-i I e no harm now i
taking that medicine. ' I will begin its use p.t
once." He did begin to i-.se it and at first he
grew worse, but soon tiicre caine a change.
Slowly but surely he got better. To-day thnt
man is strong ana hea't'iy and he owes his Hie
to that medicine Vh::t v n-s the medicine? It
was Dr. Pierce's Golden Mc-.Hcal Discovery, and
I, Luther Martin, am t'.:- rured men." Dr.
Pierce, I thank you from the v-ry cienth of my
heart, for rescuing me lVum t:;t; Vvc.'' The

REFLECTIONS.
The Pulse Beats of the Old
Year Grow Fainter as
the Moments Speed
Away.
Tho end of the old year is fast
approaching, and soon its heavily
burdened heart will have ceased
beating forever. There is no hu
man power that can add one more
puliation when the end comes, or
quicken into life, for one instant,
one spark of dormant energy by
which the fatal issue could be de
ferred. We aie approaching eter
nity as each successive year
breathes out its existence, and
many may now bo in hearing of
the Bummons to "join the innum
erable caravan." That which
should concern us most is not the
departure of tbe old year, or the
advent of the new, but a "con
science void of offence" and an
abiding faith which lifts us far
above the trials and perplexities
of this life, and causes us to "ap
proach cur graves like one who
wraps tbe drapery of his couch
about him and lies down to peace
ful dream?."
Christmas was very quiet with
our people, one thing we
point to with pride, and that is,
there was less drinking than we
have ever noticed before, while
the day was quietly observed, ev
eryone seemed to be enjoying the
occasion and a feeling of general
"good will to men" was evident.
Wo were glad to meet our boy hood
friend Mr. Tom Kennedy
last week, son of Col. J. D. Ken
ned', who is on a visit, to his pa
rents. Tom has many friends in
theFprk Avb? he was rarscdr v
and who are glad to know that -be
is tloinsr well in ihe "Cracker"
Slate. ,
Mr. Dally Hines and MisFan-..
nie Jones were married at tbe res
idence of Mr. H.. T. Jones on
Wedned.y '-evening. We wish
them life's fullest measure of hap
piness. Mr. Ed. Gurley is moving near
Ebenezer, where he goes to take
charge of Mr. Lotte Humphrey's
farm.
The Christmas tree at Pine
Forest was highly enjoyed Satur
day night, especially by the child
ren of the Sunday School.
