The management of the Peniten tiary umler the present administra tion has become the subject of more or less discussion, especially since the present management refused to -comply with the request of Mr. Sim mons for the reports showing re ceipts and expenditures for the past year, reports which according to law should have been published by the 31st of last December. Among the , reasons assigned by the present Superintendent, Mewborne, for de clining to furnish the information asked for was that he did not have - the clerical force necessary to do this extra work even jf he were dis posed "to comply, but there were other and better reasons for there- fnaal Tnofno A ff one nraii T rr r-r questions asked they undertook to by throwing dirt, that there was and charging crookedness in the lease of the State farms by the Demo cratic Boards. They resorted to the old dodge of the man who doesn't want to answer of answering one question by asking another, leaving the impression that the State had lost money by unbusiness-like leases, to benefit parties who had influence enough to control the action of tlie Boards. They cite the case of the Castle .Hayne farm as one instance of bad if not corrupt management, the Anson farm as another, while they substantially charge that the State was buncoed- in. the Roanoke river farms leases. The public attaches bat little importance to these charges- and insinuations, as coming from men who dared not submit a report of their own! management, but Hon. A. Leazer, who was su perintendent of the Penitentiary for the four years of Governor Carres administration, and ,who had made the Penitentiary self-sustaining, and had so managed it that 'State Treasurer Worth, in his re port, pronounced the management "good," thus answers these charges. ' ' "The Castle Hayne Farm was rented in 1890 by the Faison Board, and from 1300 to January, 1897, the farm was rented at $400 for 600 acres. During this period the phosphate mine was worked also by the penitentiary, for so much per cubic yard or so much per ton. During the last four years the profits on the entire Castle Hayne busi ness, both farming and mining, were $20,524 ; and if the uncollected notes, (two of them amounting to about $9, 000 instead of $16,000 aa per Mew borne) and these secured by collateral, which carried a mortgage on the whole property, had never realized anything, there was nevertheless a clear profit in the four years' operations of $10,000 or $11,000.- . "The earnings of hired labor there for four years were $35,000, and fully 30 per cent, of this was collected in cash, and that from an insolvent com pany,, euouga aa snown aoove to maxe a nice profit of $10,000 or $11,000 -on the business. The Democratic administration had entered suit, and same was pending in Superior court of Wake county, to foreclose mortgage and sell the. Castle Hayne property to satisfy the peniten titry claims, when the fusion crowd came in. The Democrats had refused to enter contract with the phosphate company for the year 1897, because it was insolvent and the pending suit would necessarily close it out of busi ness. But so soon as the f usionista entered into power, they "proceeded at once in full knowledge of , these facts as to the - phosphate company- above stated, to make another contract ; and put convicts there at one. In course of time, the property is sold by order of court, ia bid in by fusionist board of penitentiary directors for $16,000; PUELISSEE'S then af tef a time this bid is forfeited, I the property is aganTsold, is bid in for $8,000 by Mr. Chad borne, a member of; the board at that time, I think, and by. him leased to the penitentiary, nobodyj can say of what price, Mewborne does not seem to know; his board, says they don't know, and nobody seems allowed to know. And along with Castle Hayne is taken a 'arm cf high est rates ever . paid for land, other tracts on the Cape Fear so-called But Uer's lands, etc. " "The Anson Farm was leased by the Democratic board in February. 1896. It contains about 2,400 acres, and for it an annual rental of $2,400 or $2,500 is paid. - What the; taxable valuation wvs I am not informed, but like Mew; home's statement as to Halifax Farm never'paying the rent, he greatly un derestimates the product of the Anson Farm,, for the i year 1796. Although operations could not begin till March, if, the ordinary sale of one-third of the farm products for rental be : ap plied, it was fully met even the first year. W Hat it proaucea or earnea T . i-r,r 1 1 - ivT IV -i 1 C . .-. i la lout, me people ui ii ui m uiroum seem to nave no right to know. Wfien Superintendent Smith, who succeeded Mr. Iieazer, was removed by Governor Russell for gross in competence, ii was pretty broadly intimated by the Governor that there was also corruption. If he thought that, as he evidently did, it was his duty-to cause- an investi gation to be made w learn what ground there might be for his sus picions, if they were nothing more than suspicions. But he didn't do that, but contented himself with lifting Smith out of the Penitentiary and landing him in the Department of Agriculture, where, according to the Governor, he couldn't do so much harm. Mr. Simmons asked for some information in reference to5 this Department, but Commissioner Smith ex-Superintendent of the Penitentiary,ia as dumb as an oyster. In a speech at Newton, Wednes day, which appeared in the Char- otte Observer, Mr. Leazer accounted for this silence and also furnished some facts and figures which show that the charges of crookedness in the management of the Penitentiary' under the transferred .Superinten-j dent are not without foundation. After referring to the fact that under the Democratic administra tion the books were always open and subject to the inspection of any citizen who desired to examine' them, he said: "Now I am going to give you some facts. For the last ten years I have known all about the agricultural de partment ot tne btate. mat depart ment is supported by taxing fertilizers. Since the Populist-Republican crowd has come in the number of offices has heen almost doubled to make room for office-seekers and for the purpose of spending an accumulated ' surplus. None of the officers are farmers. In the place of a small messenger boy at $15 or $20 per month, an officer has been placed at a salary of $1,000 per year. The chief of the department who has nothing to do but sign his name occas ionally, draws a salary of $1,800. And somehow, now, he is to get $2,500. Two weeks ago double appropriations of former years was made. Why is it so? "From 1893 to 1897 I was superin tendent of the State penitentiary. I took the place with much reluctance, as I knew it was hard to filL We claim now that the Democratic management was wise, economical and successful. The institution fully supported itself. vv e made tne money to run it by our own efforts. It was organized to work like a new machine. A man could have sat ia-Newton and managed it. The crowd that has it now should have managed it successfully and with ease. But they were not out to manage it for the best interest of the State, but for purposes of greed and gain. I say it has been managed dishonestly by the fu- sionists. I can. and will, prove it How do I know the facts f Well, it is lawful to use spies in time of war. I am able to establish facts. When the farm at Wadesboro, Anson county, was turned over by the Democratic party to the fu sionists 199 bales of cotton was among the effects. That cotton was sold for $5,838 and a fraction. It was paid for part in checks and part in cash. The checks are accounted for and the cash is not It has never been accounted for. Where is it? One of the Demo cratic officers on retiring owed $11.57 to the penitentiary. He paid the amount in a check. He was asked to pay it in money. So he did.. There is no recora oi roe payment ot tne debt on the books. An ex-officer paid a debt of $37, and the books do not show it An officer collected a debt from the Agricultural and Mechanical College of $197.50, and the book keeper of the penitentiary tried ; to collect it again in the year, and the old clerk showed that it had already been paid. Un being asked about tne matter by the book-keeper, the officer said: 'Charge that tome The Roanoke farms were turned over with 632 bales of cotton on hand in 1897. In a few days the superin tendent of the nenitentiarv sold the cotton to a friend and a near neighbor ror about 6 cents a pound, wnen cot ton was bringing about 71 cents in Norfolk. The fact of the sale and the name of the purchaser' both were con cealed. But! ascertained the facts in the easel Why should he sell it to his friend at Ihis reduced price ? Later he bought large quantities of fertilizer from the same man at $4 a ton more than other dealers asked. Why all this I What is behind it ! The act of the Legislature of 1895 repealed the law of 1896, giving the directors of the pen itentiary power to lease the new farms. But in 1897 the same law was re-enacted. With this change the Governor of the State and the superintendent of the penitentiary were given power to lease the lands, etc A contract was made for the lease of the Grimes-lands, near Raleigh. Upon representation of the superintendent of roe penitentiary and certain members of the board, this contract was cancelled .at cost to the penitentiary, for the reason given that there were no convicts to operate this land. The Castle 'Hayne farm was very soon purchased by a member of the board, and at once . leased to the penitentiary, together with certain rice farms on the Cape Fear, generally" known as the property of the Gover nor, though leased from one Mr. But ters, of Wilmington. The price paid for these rice lands is about three times that paid for any other lands held by the penitentiary. I do' not say that the Governor 1 getting I the rental. But I just give what facts I am certain of. The board of directors know nothing of the contracts. ( v "Populists will say that Republicans did this, but did they not help do it?" There are various ways of keeping books.' Sometimes they show things: and sometime they do not, but here is a chance for" Mr. Mewborne who now has charge of the books to let the public know whether Mr. Leazer is misrepresenting the books or not and if not to let; the public know why the books have been, kept that way and, why he has - permitted his name to 'be used to screen the men who kept them. "v' ' THEY PUT LIFE 15 THE HTJLK. ' Mr." John W. At water, one of the wheel horses of the Populist party in Chatham county; is quoted as de claring t hat the Populists in his county would not fuse with, the. Re publicans. "We are tired;" he said, of selling our principles, and will not do it again-on anybody's say so. As silver men we cannot consistently vote for gold bugs, and, will. not. ; If there is fusion you can depend upon it there will be three tickets iij the ucm. . . When reminded .that Chairman Holton, of the Republican State committee, had Baid that there would be fusion, he replied, "As far as Chairman Holton is concerned lean say to him that we Populists put life into the dead hulk of the Repub lican party once, buti-if he thinks we will do it again he.i mistaken.? Mr. Atwater evidently moves with hia eyes open, and sees things as he goes. In speaking as he does he voices the sentiments of thousands of awakened PopulistB who have become "tired of having their prin ciples sold" to put a lot of political deadbeats in office. They have been used, as he says, to "put life into the dead hulk of the Republi can party" and all they have to show for it is a f ew- Populist leaders in office who don't care the snap of their fingers for principle, and more negroefs in office than there are in all the other States in the Union combined. Their leaders may try to play the fusion game again, be1 cause they have their eyes on the spoils of office,- but the tired . and disgusted masses of honest Popu lists, who are not working and vot ing for spoils, do not want it, and can't be roped in nor whipped into the fusion camp any more. They have had the pbject lesson before them and have studied it to ' some purpose. " , MINQR MENTION. That political Spaniard, . Rocky. Mount Butler, will betray any man or party that attempts to thwart his selfish ' purposes. In the Second Congressional District he has brought out J. B. Loyd as his candi date to trade on. If the Republic cans concede some of his demands in other districts he will . keep Loyd in the field to help elect a negro Congressman. Otherwise, he will withdraw Loyd and leave the contest between a white Democrat and a ne gro .Kepublican. He knows his implied threat to do this will alarm the Republicans, as the Democrats stand a fair chance of defeating the negro White in the Second district if the Populist candidate is I with drawn. Freeman, a Populist, wa3 run in this district in 1896 for the sole purpose of electing the same negro to Congress, and all this with the approval 'of Rocky. Mount Butler, the Weyler of North Carolina poli tics. . In writing on the Philippine ques tion a few days ago we remarked that whatever AguinaLdo may be he is not "a fool, pure and simple." The New York Journal publishes a message said to have been sent by him to our Consul-General ! Wild man, which concludes with the re mark that he (Aguinaldo) is neither "a fool nor a rogue." Whether he is a rogue or not, the message, which was published in our press columns yesterday, shows ! pretty conclusively ' that he is not a fool, for it shows that he appreciates the situation in which he is placed and asks some very pertinent questions, as, for instance, these: . ' j ! i . "I ask why should America expect me to outline my policy, present and future, and fight blindly for her in terests, when America will not be frank with me? Tell me. this; am 1 fighting for annexation, protection or independence?" . I These are perfectly natural and entirely germane., questions for him to ask, in view of the facjt that he must have had some assurances from and agreement ''with the rep resentatives of the United States before he became an ally, returned to the Philippines and raised an army of natives. It was he, whose soldiers were armed by the, United States, who defeated the- Spanish troops on the island of Luzon and hemmed the only army Spain now Jiaa on' the island within thfe walls of Manila, which he could have taken some time ago if Admiral Dewey had said the word. Now, in view of Ihe doubts that have arisen in consequence of the uncer tain attitude of his allies and the disquieting rumors that have reach ed him from this'" country, he has a right to ask and a right to know what he is fighting for, whether for "annexation, ; protection or inde pendence." ' Men who do not know what they are perilling their lives for cannot be expected to fight with much cheerfulness. . Tht Bet Remedy for Flux. , Mr. John Mathias, a well known stock" dealer of Pulaski,- Ky., says: ."After suffering for over a week with flux", and my physician having failed to relieve me, . i .was ; advised to try Chamberlain's Colic, ; .
