Chris tiaD, who is appomtea irom
Georgia, bat who, if not born in
North Carolina, has spent much of
time in oar State, his grand
sotber, Mrs. Stonewall Jackson,
be ng a native of Lincoln county
id present a resident of Char
lone. He is a son of Mr. W.
Christian, formerly of Vir-
-iiA, but who is now Assist
mt General Passenger Agent of
the Seaboard Air Line, with head
garters at Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Chris
tia married Miss J alia Jackson, the
nlycbild of the immortal Stonewall
Jickson, that matchless soldier
-I the Confederacy who was "the
idol of the South" and whose
I'tnorv is revered everywhere as a
Chnitlan and a soldier.
In appoiutinz the grandson of
the great Confederate chieftain to a
odeubip at West Point, President
Booievelt has shown a spirit of
pnt magnanimity and everywhere
tliibaghoat the Soath his act in this
mptct will be profoundly appre
ciated. In appointing him he makes
u exception to precedent and we
do not believe that anywhere in the
ir a discordant note will be
, nid against the appointment of a
Southern Tonng man so eminently
lorthy of it and with such an 111ns-
tri'Qi antecedent.
Toe Soma will even more appro -
riate the manifestation of broadness
It the President in consenting to
urn joun Stonewall Jackson
Christian as a cadet at the United

own in what the WashiDston Post
oirlday says about the appoint
sent. The Post, in noting the in
I cidents connected with it, says:
ii l can place the name of

u was in this way that President
wosevelt vesterdav announced to a

Glenn's vote of 128.762 for Cooke's

NEGRO ADEPT WITH A PEN.
Mr. I. Shrler Victim of Slick Forcerv
Which Csme to Llgbl Yesterday.
The Forger Disappeared.
Mr. L Shrler, the well known cloth
ler atiinortheast corner of Front and
Princess streets, was the victim of a
clever' confidence game last month
that came to light only yesterday. On
the evening of November 4th, a negro
came Into the store with an order fof a
suit of clothee written on the back of
one of Mr. Martin O'Brien's shipping
cards and ostensibly signed by Mr.
O'Brien. The order said "let Frank
Jones have a suit of clothes costing
about $10 and send to me to-morrow."
The order was a forgery and In writ
ing it out the negro bad evidently
omitted the word 'blir In the clause
'.end Co mo-to-morrow." Mr. O. J.
Roberts, a clerk In the s tor e, sited on
the negro, taking -the order in good
faith and sending the clothes to Mr.
O'Brien's stare the next day; filing the
order and charging the suit selected to
Mr. O'Brien, the amount being $13.50.
When the package came Mr. O'Brien
thought It bad been seht to his store
by mistake and his suspicion was soon
confirmed when the negro calledat
the store and told him Mr. Bhtier bad
sent him there for a suit of clothes
that had been taken out by mistake.
Mr. O'Brien told the negro he
would have to get an order
from Mr. Bhrler before he could get
the clothes. - The negro la rather an
adept with the pen and straightway
went out and forged an order on Mr.
Shrler, even golug so far as to sign the
name "per M.," as if Mr. Marshall
Shrler had written the order In tbe
absence of his father. Mr. O'Brien
took tb e cecond forged order In rood
faito and delivered the clothes, afier
which the negro disappeared. Both
Mr. tthrier and Mr. O'Brien thought
the transaction was all right until Mr.
8hrier sent a bill to Mr. O'Brien on
the first of the month for the olothes.
Then the two got together to correct
what Mr. O'Brien knew was a mistake
and found that each had been the vic
tim of a forgery. Neither has a clue
to i he ideality of the negro.
SEVERAL BEFORE THE MAYOR.
Maximum Fine oa Yeusg White Msa far
DraskcDoeis Other Mailers.
Only a limited number of offenders
greeted Mayor Pro Tem. Yopp in the
police court jesterday. John Haw
kins, the young negro who beat bis
mother and drew a pistol on hla father
when the latter remonstrated with
him, escaped the higher court because
his parents, after the heat of passion
had died away, were loth to prosecute'
him. The only evidence adduced was
that young Hawkins committed a
simple assault and he was let off with
$5 and costs. He was represented by
George L. Peschau, Esq.
Kittle Leslie and Mabel Williams,
white women, were fined $10 and costs
each for disorderly conduct Friday
night In the vicinity of Seventh and
Dawson streets.
Jordan Mclver, charged with being
drunk and down for the s'leenth time,
was fined $20 and costs, from which
judgment he took an appeal to the Su
perior court. Appeal bond was fixed
at $50.
To Succeed Dr. Itraste.
Rev. Robert Baunders Coupland,
rector of Atcension Protestant Epis
copal cburcb, La Fayette Square,
Baltimore, has been called to Bt.
Paul's parish," Richmond, Va., to suc
ceed the Rt. Rev. Robert Strange,
Bishon coadjutor of this Diocese. Rev.
Mr. Coupland is 34 years old and has
been in the ministry nine yean, hav
ing graduated from the Theological
Seminary at Alexandria, tie is con
sidered one of the most successful and
promising of the younger ministers of
the Episcopal church. He has recently
declined calls to Ohlcsgo and Omaha
and his acceptance of the Richmond

MOST MAINTAIN
WHITE SUPREMACY.
Senator Bacon Gives Warning
That Effort is Being Made
to Republicans South.
THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.

Br Telegraph to tbe Hornlax Btat. .
M A coir. Ga., Dec. 3. Congressman
T. W. Hardwlck, of the Tenth Gaor.
gia district, a few days- ago wrote a
letter to Senator A. C. Bacon, asking
his views on the present political situ
ation. Senator Bacon replies at length:
The Senator says there is an effort
to republlcanize the South. He
declares that white supremacy must
be maintained in the South and every
where; that the prosperity of the South
Is due to while supremacy. He advo
cates the repeal of the Fifteenth amend
ment and insists that unless that shall
be done the people of the South shall
be forced to maintain their proposi
tion oi wmte supremacy.
Following Is a paragraph :
"If there were nothing else of which
to boast; if this were the soje achieve
ment of the Democratic party In the
South, the great work which It accom
plished In rescuing the South from a
fate worse than anarchy would earn
for It and entitle it to the undying grat
itude and appreciation of all those in
tbe world who value and prize clvill-
Ektion and all ita attendant blessings.
And there are none who should be
more grateful to the Democratic party
for this tbaa the Republican party of
tbe North, b-caute tbe Democrats In
thus savin? tbe civilization of the
8outb, at the aame time also saved the
Republican party from the deep dam
nation' which would nave been ad
judged against them through all the
ages If they bad succeeded In the effort
which they made to convert this whole
southland into the desolation of an
other Haiti."
The aenator charges that the two
most important offices In Georgia un
der the executive depsrtment the col
lector at oavannah, and the collector
in Atlanta are held by negroes; that
the most Important office in the ex
ecuttve department in Washington,
held by any one appointed from
Georgia, Is that of Register of the
Treasury, and held by a negro.
He asserts that In tbe three cities of
Bavannab, Atlanta and New Orleans
there are respectively, 43, 94 and 108
negro Federal officeholders. He holds
that it Is the policy of tbe Republican
party to put tbe negro in positions of
authority to Southern States. Near
the conclusion ot the letter he sum
marizes his whole proposition with
thequesilon:
"Shall we above ill other things
stand for white supre-nscyf' and then
be emphasizes his vler by citing the
fact that in 1865 the negroes in the
United 8tates numbered 4,000,000; In
1905 they will number more than
10,000,000; that there are child
ren now born who will in their day
see more tnan su,uuu,uuu oi tnem
here."
Rather than have negro rule, Sena
tor Bacon Is willing to accept a re
duction of Southern representation in
the Congress of the United States. He
says:
"The repeal or the Fifteenth Amend
ment, leaving to each Btate the power
to regulate for itself tbe negro ques
tion, would destroy the sectional bar
rier which the South so greatly de
plores, and for the removal of which it
knows no other method."
He save, at the last:
"Until this amendment la repealed
the menace which must ever accompa
ny It will require that the white men
of the South should stand together on
the issue of white supremacy, and in
opposition to negro rule and negro
omcehoidlng. It is within the power
of the Republican party, if it desire to
do so, to repeat the Fifteenth amend
ment within the next three months oy
securing the necessary action by Con
gress and the ratification by the requi
site number of Btate Legislatures.
When they refuse to do ao, it can only
be because tbev desire tbe continuance
of tbe opportunity for negrO rule and
negro officeholding. And while thus
still belesguring our stronghold, they
approach with soft .words and promises
of tbe favor of those who alt in the
seats of power, I would cry to the de
fenders of white supremacy, "Beware I
'The Greeks are at the gates, bearing
gifts T"

MONEY ORDER SWINDLERS.

Broaihl to WUmisxtoa for Trial.
Inspector S. H. Cock Here.
United Slates Postoffice Inspector 8.
H Buck arrived in the city last mid
night from Savannah where he has been
on official business In connection with
the raised money order swindlers, who
op rated In Wilmington and In this
Btd'.e a few months ago and who were
clecerly rounded up by the Inspector
and placed in jail nendlnsr arrange
ments for their trial. A ' true bill was
found against the negroes at the last
i term of Federal Court here and In
spector Buck says that the Federal
! jadaein Savannah on Thursday sign
ed an order transferrin the nerro.
"Jimmy" Burns, in jail there, to
WPmlugton for trial. Burns Is one
of the1 two negroes who fleeced Mr
R. P. Hamme and Mr. A. Bhrler, of
this city, at the time of the operation
of the swindlers In this city.
Mr. Buck also says that "Jimmy"
Bums has positively identified tbe ne-
grc, Ed. Smith, arrested at Henderson,
Ky., as his accomplice in the "game"
worked In this and other States. While
in Savannah Mr. Buck secured a confes
sion from "Jimmy" Burns that be
had operated in every town in this
district where the "game" was worked
with two possible exceptions. An or
der transferring Ed. Smith from Hen
derson, Ky., to Wilmington, for trial
with Burns, la expecteda little later.
Smith seems the cleverest swindler of
the two. Several years ago he oper
ated in the Chattanooga diatrlct as
Willie Blair, which Mr. Buck Is confi
dent Is b'.s true name. Burns identifies
him as his accomplice most positively
and if the government . doesn't make
out a clear case against them both the
fault will not lie at the door of Mr.
Buck, who has been most energetic
and sagacious In handling the case.

A dispatch from Jonesboro
on Friday says: A black negro by
the name of Julius Mills went to
the home of a white woman named
Brown, about three miles west of
here, between 9 and 10 o'clock last
night and forced his way into the
house, where there was no one ex
cept the woman and her two-year
old child. The woman lives alone
and she begged the negro not to
come into the house, but to go
away. This he refused to do, but
told her be was going to stay as
long as he pleased and do what he
pleased. The negro was drinking
and had a jug of wine with him at
the time. He tried to get the
woman to drink with him, and
after her repeatedly refusing
he forced . the little child to
drink and it soon fell asleep leav
ing the two alone together, xne
negro did not leave the house until
between three and four o'clock this
morning, neither would he let the
woman leave. As soon as he left,
however, she went to the house of a
neighbor, where she still remains.
She could not be seen this morning
ing but was reported to be in bed,'
herjeondition not dangerous though.
Mrs. Brown, while not well thought
of in the community, is a hard
working woman and was never
known to associate with or have
anything to do with negroes and for
the above reason the law will of
course take its course if be should be
found. Mills Is a worthless negro
and does very little work. After
searching parties had looked for
him all day, he was captured near a
little grocery store one mile from
the scene and taken to jail at Carth
