VOLS XXIII. WELDON, N. Cm THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1892. NO. 4 JUDGE J. J- DANIEL. HIS PORTRAIT PllBSKNTKI) TO TUB SU PREME COfllT MBllAKY. Yesterday a portrait in oil of the dis ttojjuMied jurist, .In l.u-" J-J- 'nwl, was presented to the Supremo court library by his children, Judsii) W. A. Daniel, of thin plaeo., and Mrs. I. '"Tier Hattlu, (it Kooky Mount. Thu premutation was math through Capt. W. II. Day. JhJ'.'o Daniel waa nmive of this coun ty and lived here all ol'liiH life. He was born in 1781, studied the law, and was elected to the bench of the Superior court ' by the Legislature in IStG, when he was thirty-two years of age. He remained on the Superior court bench sixteen i I yea, when he was elected by the Legi I lature in 1832 Associate Justice of the j Supreme court, which position ho oeou 4 pied until his death in 18 13 at the age t of f-ixty four years. sL Following is Capt. Day's address: lie was one ot llie "simple, great ones (rone, forever and forever by," but the ! Rood that he did lives after him. This wan was also a philosopher, be-1 cause, wisdom broadened him into loving. lie studied flowers, not because he lovod botany, but because the beautiful in Na ture added to his happiness, lie loved hie fellow luati, because he recognized tho COL. HARRY SKINNER. HE ABLY DEFENDS HIS TOSITION AND ADVISES THE ALLIANCE TO REMAIN IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND CONVINE THEIR DEMANDS TO CON GRESSIONAL CONVENTIONS. The time has coruo when I cannot per- worthy broad brotherhood of humanity. This mit thosu who ,li,vo been sociates and colaborers in the cause ot Democracy, to bo longer deceived by the misrepresentations of designing uieu. I havostood the fire as long as I can without making a plain statement illa tive to my advocacy of measures for fi- nancial relief, ho that the people may see n tho truthfulness of how unfairly I have been recently treated Mr. (Mnf Jmlke : I am directed by the children of Judge Daniel to present to this court tho pic ture of their illustrious lattier. in Uoinj; this it is proper I should speak, sonic what, of him as a man, and also as a judge. As a man, his marked characteristic was his gentle, genuino kindness to all in the county in which I live, and where he was boro and had his home, the tra dition of his life, at this distant day into legends grown, follow after him, and are yet instinct with tho preguaut life of what is good. His personality was an tique in its simple grandeur The first Alexander of Russia after Juno 1815 discussiug the settlement of Europe with the French Envoy, who was importunate for a written charter, said "my people have no charter." Talleyrand replied, "yes sire they have your personal char acter, that is a oharter." So Judge Dan iel's personal character was the patent which stamped him Nature's nobleman. In his sympathies he was as broad as hu manity itself. In his life creeds he was more Catholic than the Roman Catholic who benched by his side. Tho poor, his poor, looked for his coming from his du ties at court as the return of a good an gel. To him they came for material aid, and for counsel. His purse opened to their demands. Ilia supreme knowledge, almost universal in its scope, ha gave for their guidance. The poverty of our State's history re sults from our ignorance of tho lives of our doad great men. With curious neg lect we are willing such priceless examples i should be forgotten. Give to us a man , whose life is a misjion of misery, whose days are spent in the desolation of homes by the red hand of war, we hail him con queror, and we immortalize his infamy in story and in song. Wo never salute the thoughtful man who kneels. These we forget, and yet their life's story would make for us beautiful history. Outside of our profession aud the traditions of a locality, how few are the North Carolin ians who know that this great man has lived, and passed from among us. It is woe to that neonla who consents that 4 I their dead men shall die. The Hebrew prophet cries "Tby dead Jnen shall live." Judge Daniel was a biave man, men tally, morally, physically. In him was nothing of the tyrant. In his family, on his farm, on the bench, he was the affec tionate father, tho kindly master, the merciful judge. These characteristics gavo to hisyninjer years, associations that grew stronger with tho flight of h ays.

Mis was the first voice in this State to denounce the brutal barbarism of the Common Law. His dissenting opinion in tho Madison Johuson case was a protest against a past without pity.

Heno i I desire or strength of the people and that a ma- J jority have tho right to control; that De mocracy means lodging all power with the people possible; that , what we call mmcy whether in the shnpe of govern ment creditor coin, is the most powerful controller of human action and the great distributer of the results of labor; that as governmental credit has to be invoked cither 111 the form of treasury notes, cer tificates or guaranteed bank notes, to do the business or the country, that it is more Democratic to put this power in tho hands of or near the people at first oost thau to delegate it to corporations with the power to crush the people, and that the government can extend its cred it under proper supervision upon land and staple crops as well as upon bonds, gold or silver, for the reason that these must redeem the bonds and furnish the power with which to purchasa gold and silver, Now while these are my individual views, I have no desire to force them upon Democrats who cannot see through the same glasses as I do, and certainly would not want them incorporated in our State platform, recognizing as I do that there is that difference of opiuiou auionj Democrats that would hazard the harmo ny of Democratic councils and jeopardize our success at the polls; realizing further as I do that our white people must be held together within the organizition of Democracy to preserve home rule, to pre vent the common enemy from rccreacting tho era of its misrule, to perpetuate white supremacy and to stand as a barrier against amalgamation and the evils that would follow therefrom, the people of North Caroliua may be ns.su.ed while I claim thu right to my individual views. stand ready to make any sacrifice to pre vent the disruption of the Democratic party. And if I may be permitted to make a suggestion (without criticism) to Alliance and non-Allliance Democrats in tho interest of harmony, it would be to carry out what I intended at the last meeting of the State Executive Commit tee, to recommend to the different county conventions with as little variation as pos sible tho State platform of 1890, and relegate all our differences of a national character to the different congressional conventions, as this class of relief must come through the channel of Congress, and these are the political bodies that should be impressed with the importance of relief on the line indicated. In maki ng this suggestion I am not retreating from the Democratic principles involved in the sub-treasury plan. I shall attend the Democratic convention of the First District and do as I did at our last Dis- tiiet convention, use my power to have incorporated this plan in the platform and work tor tho uomiuation ot a man that wi.l stand flat footed upon such a platform. If I fail it will not diminish my Democratic ardor, but I will follow I he majority. As a finaueial reformer I can not see how engrafting anything unusu al in our State platform will advance oir cause I cau see how it may divide our people and endanger our local institutions. I y.ive the Alliance cri tlit for too much wisdom mid patriot ism, even if in the absolute coutrol of the State convention, to act either in naming the ticket or the platform so as to briug defeat upon the work t litre committed to their charge. My opinion is they will aut wistdv conservative and on the day after will deserve the app'auso of patii ots. DUELS IN N. C. A FEW OF THE MORE PROMINENT AF FAIRS OF HONOR IN THE HISTORY OF THE STATE.

Tho discipline is not altogether pleasant, but it pays. The New York World in an article of some length reviewing famous duels which have been fought in America says of North Carolina : North Carolina has been the scene of many fatal duels, and it has always been regarded as a perfectly safe place to fight so far the law is concerned. Among tho duels that have been fought in that State only a few of tho most prominent ones can he mentioned here. John Stanly fought with Richard Dobbs Spaight, sr., behind the Masonic Hall in New Berne on Sunday afternoon, September 5, 1802. At the second fire n bullet pierced the coat collar of Stanly at the fourth, Spaight received a wound L the right side, of which ho died in twenty-three hours. Tho challenge was sent aud accepted and tho duel fought on the same day, 300 people witnea.-ing it In 1812, on the Virginia line, Thomat, J. Stanley was killed at the first fire b Louis D. Henry. This duel arose fron a dispute in regard to the question who was the partner of a certain lady in a dance at a party given by Judge Gaston. Jarvis Clifton aud Prentice Law fought at Crosse?, on the line between Gates county, North Caioliua, and Southamp ton county, Virginia, in 1S0G or 1S08. Law was a Northern man by birth, while Clifton was a native of Bertie county. They fought over a Mrs. Blanchard. Law struck his antagonist, and in pulling the clothing from the wound the ball camo with it. Clifton afterwards married Mrs. Blanchard aud she died in a year. In 1814 Lieut. Samuel H. Bryant, United States Army, was killed in a duel in North Carolina. In 1844 W. E. Boudioot fought two duels with Mont gomery Hunt, within a few days of each other. The first was on the Island of Java, where neither was hurt; the second at Singapore, where Hunt was wounded in the thigh at the second fire. They afterwards became warm friends. Hunt was a naval officer and was lost a t sea. Boudinot was really the inventor of the present signal service system, and died near Pittsboro, N. C, in the spring of 1889. The halfway house, where the Dismal Swamp Canal crosses the North Carolina line into Virginia, has been the scene of two duels. The first took place on the Virginia line during the autumn of 1847, when II. F. Harris fell in a duel with Edward C. Yellowly. Tho second was on June 12, 18G8, when Robert W. Hughes, of the Richmond Statj Journal, fought William E. Cameron, of the Richmond Index, with pistols, and woilnded him in the breast at the first fire Maurice, the son of Judge Alfred Moore, of the Unitt d States Supreme Court, fought with Benjamin Smith, afterwards Governor of North Carolina, in 1800 or 1801, nn the South Carolina line with pistols, because of an alleged insult to Moore's father Smith was badly wounded in the side. Smith was engaged in other duels. DYSPEPSIA Is that misery experienced when suddenly mado aware- that you possess ti diabolical arrangement culled stomach.
