He Take 8 An Express Box and
Robs Passengers Leaves
the Preacher a Dollar. "
Napa, Cal., Sept. 14 The Caligtoga
and Lake Port stage was held op to
day by a solitary highwayman who
made off with the express box. At the
cene of the robbery the road runs
through a beary undergrowth and
comine suddenly around a curve the
stage driver was confronted by a mask
ed robber, which covered him with bis
shot gun and ordered him to stop; The
passengers were then commanded to
diemopnt from the . stage and were
drawn up in a row while the highway-
man abstracted the express box of
Wells, Fargo & Co., but left the United
States mail bag.
The highwayman then turned his
attention to the row of eight frighten
ed passengers whom he commanded to
deposit on the groand their money and
valuables. Rev. F. Coy, pastor of
the Methodist church at Middletown,
handed the bandit $5, remarking : "I
am only a poor preacher and that is all
I have."; Upon this statement the
highwayman handed the minister
back $lin chaDge. "All right pard,"
Newton Stiff, an old resident of Mid
dletown. had a considerable sum in
his purse, but slipped the wallet inside
his long boot, giving the robber only
the loose silver in hia pocket. In all
about $75 in cash was secured from the
passengers in addition to watches,
chains and trinkets.
The robber then plunged into the
thicket which adjoins the road, and
the last heard, of him was a report
which probably indicated the blowing
oil of the lock of the express box.

Hudson Tells the Story of the
Crime.
Winston, N. C, Sept. 14. Thomas
Hudson, one of the the men who
were committed to jail yesterday,
charged with being responsible for the
death of Mr. D. Binkley, of Yadkin
county, sent for a lawyer to-day saying
he wished to make a confession. Solici
tor Griffith went to the jail when Hud
son told the whole story. He said
Thomas Reed shot Binkley ; that they
engaged in a fight when Binkley threw
one hand to his pocket, whereupon
Reed fired and Binkley fell. They did
not stop to see bow bad he was shot.
Hudson says they were all drinking.
He admitted he made a mistake by not
telling the whole story on the witness
tand yesterday. In showing me a let
ter from his mother, the prisoner wept.
She told the son to tell the truth aa to
the murder.
Hudson said to the solicitor he wish
ed to turn State's evidence and asked
to be released, but this is not probable,
as be is the most important witness.
An officer said to-day that when ar
rested he had over $180. Bob Cobbler
about sixteen dollars. Hudson had
very little money. It is nown that
Binkley had as much aa $44, if not
nore when he was shot.

In discussing the subject of traf
ficing in votes a correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun says: I
On Thanksgiving Day, 1897,1
s i a
clergyman nere, in nis sermon,
eaid : "A man who will' buy a vote
will sell bis vote, and a man who
will sell his vote will sell his coun
try." This proposition cannot be
disputed. It is axiomatic.
Now I ask, What is a man who
will sell his country? He is
traitor, and none the leas a traitor
because his treason is not charac
terized by its . right name. He is
none the less a traitor because his
blows at the very foundation of
our national structure "are deliver
ed openly, shamelessly, and un
blushingly, while bis fellow-citi
zens view the dreadful crime with
indifference or helplessness.
Anyone who reads the newspa
pers knows that the practice of
buying and selling votes is steadily
growing, and that the people (both
those who sell their votes and those
who do not) are becoming more
and more convinced that politics
and politicians are incorrigibly
rotten. It surprises no one now! to
learn that a certain senator, ren
resentative or other public officer
has spent a large sum to secure an
election.
Can anyone who has read a little
history fail to see where this con
dition will lead us?
Let this rottenness go unchecked
a tew aecaaoB longer, ana it will
be entirely beyond control. The
country will be ripe for an empire,
and the emperor (some man of
commanding wealth and influence)
win do found ready to assume hi
8
of the
functions.
I understand that some
states have statutes bearing on the
subject of corruption in elections;
but we seldom hear of their en
forcement, although we frequently
hear of their, infraction. M
There should be an amendment
to the constitution of the Unitea
States declaring it treason for any
one to buy or to sell a vote, for any
consideration, in any Federal, state,
congressional, legislative or munici
pal election ; and not only disfran
chising the buyer, and the seller,
but imposing such term of impris
onment, especially on the buyer, ae
will stamp the dreadful practice
with something like the infamy it
merits.

BY RAIL TO SOUTHPORT.1
Engineers Begin the Work of
Surveying the Line.
Wilmington, N. C, September 14
The first practical step toward the con
struction of a railroad between Wil
mington and Southport was taken to
day, when a party of five engineers
began the work of surveying the line.
They begin at Southport, moving up
be river. The survey will be prose
cuted as expeditiously as possible. It
is expected that the road will be built
n a short time.
When the building of this road the
dreams of two generations of North
Carolinians will be realized, viz : a con-
inuous line of railroad from the east
ern to the western extremities of the
State, with a deep water terminus on.
our own coast and connection beyond
our borders with the great valleys of
the Ohio and Mississippi and the fer-
lle plains of the wide west.
Nothing can be done to check
he fires now raging in the Sierra
Madre Mountains, in Southern Cal-
fornia, because of the inaccessi
bility of the region that is being
devastated. More than 700.000
acres of good timber have already
been destroyed, and that the loss is
tremendous may be inferred from
the fact that thousands of trees
from four to six feet in diameter,
many of them two hundred feet in
height, have been burned. While
human life is not menaced by this
sweep of fire, the destruction of so
much valuable timber must be de
plored. -

Income of Mormon Church.
In demanding that each member
of his church pay over- one-tenth
of his total income, "Doctor' John
Dowie is simply following the ex
ample of the Mormon church, says
a Chicago exchange. As an ex
ample of what such 'combinations
may amount to in the course of a
year, it is stated that last year the
Mormon church received from
tithes alone over $900,000. This
year it is estimated that the in
come from tithes will reach $1,
500,000. As a further indication
of the financial prosperity of the
Mormon church, President Snow
states that the last of the twenty-
year bonds, of which $1,000,000
worth were sold in 1897, will be re
deemed within the next five years.

CHOOSE YOOR DRUGGIST CAREFULLY.
A dmgzist can do more harm rr good than
most people give him credit for. There are dif
ferent qualities in drugs just as there are in dry
goods, and to the outsider all qualities go by ibe
same name The difference betweenjmre, nish
grade drugs and cheap, inferior drugs of the
same name, means the difference between keep
ing sick and Retting well. When a doctor writes
a prescription, he means best quality. When
some druggists fill a prescription, they think
