TELLS WHY HE FEELS INJURED
Mr. Hussey Objects to Two Ait.cles
Published Respectively in March aud
April in the News atid Observer-
Register of Deeds Rogers Goes on His
Bond for s2oo—The Suit Seemingly
Deferred l mil the February Term-
Charged With Penitentiary Ollence.
Through his attorneys, Messrs. Mac-
Rae and Day and Whitaker, Mr. John
B. Hussey yesterday filed his complaint
in a SIO,OOO libel suit which, it is al
leged, he will bring against the News
and Observer Publishing Company.
The document, printed below, sets forth
certain articles as the basis of the suit in
which articles Mr. Hussey is charged,
respectively, with having unlawfully at
tempted to get possession of the pension
rolls as well as with having unlawfully
retained money belonging to a client.
Mr. Hussey gave bond in the sum of
|2OO with J. J. Rogers as surety, and it
is said that the case will be called at the
February term of the Wake County Su
perior Court.
The complaint is as follows:
North Carolina, Wake County, i
Superior Court, Oct. Term 1895. \
John B. Hussey against The News and
Observer Publishing Company.
The plaintiff above named complain
ing of the defendant above named
alleges:
First, that the defendant, the News
and Observer Publishing Company at
the time hereinafter mentioned was and
is now a corporation duly organized
under the laws of North Carolina and as
such was engaged in the publication of
an wspap-r known as the News and
Observer in the said county of Wake
Second, that the said defendant, the
News and Observer Publishing Com
pany contriving and wickedly and ma
liciously intending to injure the said
plaintiff, John B. Hussey in his good
fame and credit and to bring him into
public scandal, infamy and disgrace, and
To cAiiee It to be !»u*pCCt Hnd believed
Jtluat the said plaintifl was dishonest,
unscrupulous, guilty of a crime,the pun
ishment whereof was confinement in the
penitentiary, a thief and a conspirator
heretofore, to-wit, on the 10th day of
March, 1895, in the county aforesaid
falsely, wickedly and maliciously did
compose and publish and cause aud pro
cure to be published in the said newspaper
known as the News and Observer, of
and concerning the said plaintiff a cer
tain fa se, scandalous, malicious and de
famatory libel, containing among other
things the false, scandalous, defamatory
and libellous mas ter following of aud
concerning the plaintiff, that is to say,
nine years ago, this fellow Hussey, mean
ing the plaintiff, was a Democrat and
the editor of the Greensboro Patriot.
When Cleveland was elected he applied
for a position in Washington and the
Democrats in Congress seemed him the
position as chief of a division
in the Treasury Department. After Har
rison’s election seeing that he would lose
his position, Hussey, meaning the plain
tiff, began to get ready to go into the
business of pension attorney in Washing
ton. Preliminary to this, he ordered the
clerks in his division to make a complete
list of the pensioners on file in his divis
ion, and they worked several weeks pre
paring it. He well knew that this list
was sacredly kept from all pension agents
and attorneys, and that it was a crime
for him to copy it for bis personal use.
It came to Mr. Windom’s ears that Hus
sey, meaning the plaintiff, had been
guilty of this crime and he was on the
point of dismissing him in disgrace and
pro-ecuting him for theeffence. Hussey,
meaning the plaintiff, took to his heels
when his conduct came to the
ears of Secretary Windoin, and
it was generally stated that he
had a malady which would shortly
prove fata!. Then it was that Sen
ator Ransom begged the Republican
Secretary not to disgrace his family, and
to permit him to return the stolen lists
and resign. Secretary Windom had a
kind heart and acceded to the request.
But for this leniency, Hussey (meaning
the plaintiff) would now be in the Albany
penitentiary Instead of Butler’s private
secretary.
Hussey (meaning the plaintiff) has been
the Washington correspondent of both
the Winston Republican and the Cau
casian, and has helped to harmonize the
policy of these leaders of the two wings
of Fusion. They wanted an artful and
unscrupulous man, a ready writer and
an active gatherer and perverter of news.
They cared nothing for character, and
their readers did not demand that they
should. But a man who is capable of
doing dirty work as a Washington corre
spondent is not a suitable man to be
chosen as the confidential friend, boon
companion and adviser of a man who
occupies the highest Federal position in
the gift of North Carolina.
If Senator Butler had appointed as
private secretary a man who had just
dropped the convict's stripes, after a sen
tence of six years in the penitentiary,
all parties would unite in saying tha* he
had merited the scorn and contempt of
all good people in the State. Mr. Hus
spy, meaning the plaintiff', is no better
man because Ransom was persuaded to
beg Windom not to send him to the pen
itentiary six years ago.
That the said defendant, contriving
and wickedly and maliciously intending
to injure the said plaintiff in his good
fame and credit and to bring bim into
public scandal and disgrace, heretofore,
to-wit, on the 11th day of April, 1895, in
the county aforesaid, faisely, wickedly
and maliciously did compose and publish
and cause and procure to lie published
of and concerning the plaintiff
in a|n: wspaper called the News and
Observer, published in Raleigh, in the
~of Wake, a certain article con
cise and defamatory mat
“ More of Hussey’s
an
vate Secretary to Senator Butler. Upon
evidence already printed we have shown
that he deserves to be in the peniten
tiary instead of holding an office given
by North Carolina’s Senator. In addi
tion to the other rascality of which he
has recently been guilty. A prominent
citizen of Catawba writes :
“When Hussey commenced practising
law, he located at Newton. Had notes
{ilaced in his hands for collection. Ool
eeted the money and kept it. He kept
several hundred dollars of Sid Houston’s
money. Also Joseph Bost’s. He ought
to have been dealt with then, and made
to surrender his license.”
We are not shooting cur ammunition
aijsuch snrry game as Hussey. We print
this additional evidence of his rascality
to let the people know the character of
the men who furnish the matter which
the readers of the Caucasian are asked
to believe. With such thieves and con
spirators as John B. Hussey contributing
to its columns, the “Caucasian expects
the people to believe wbat he says. A
man as corrupt as John B. Hussey would
not get a position on the News and Ob
serve, or any other respectable paper, to
clean out its spittoons. The
Senator—editor of the Caucas
ian makes Hulsey his private
secretary, 1 and chosen correspondent.
He formerly signed his articles “Jona
than Edwards.” Since he has become
private secretary, his articles are signed
“J. B. H.”
That by means of the said
publications, the plaintiff hath been and
is greatly injuied in his good fame and
credit and brought into public scandal,
infamy and disgrace to his damage ten
thousand dollars.
Wherefore the plaintiff demands judg
rnent against the defendant for the sum
of SIO,OOO, and the costs of this action
to be taxed by the clerk.
The Present Generation
Live at telegraphic speed—eats too fast,
retires too late, does not rise betimes,
smokes and (alas, that we should have
to say it!) chews too much tobacco. The
consequences are dyspepsia, a general
absence of that robust aud manly vigor
which characterized our ancestors, and a
manifest proneness to early decay. Reg
ular hours, a due allowance of time for
meals, the disuse of excessive smoking,
and altogether of chewing tobacco, in
connection with a course of Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters, will in nine cases out of
ten consequences of the abuses of
the laws of health indicated above. A
want of stamina, dyspepsia, nervousness
ami biliousness are among these con
sequences, and they are bodily ills to the
removal which the Bitters is specially
adapted. Nor is the Bitters less fitted to
overcome and prevent fever and ague,

Gentlemen:—Having seen Mexican flustang Lini
ment extensively advertised here Induces me to tell you
how useful It la to persons In the livery business I have
used It for the past 18 years on my horses for almost every
thing that horses are subject to. For sprains and stiff Joints
Ido not think it has an equal, and for such things as
harness galls and rubs It Is wonderful.
I oAce had a very fine driver who was thrown from his car
rlage In a runaway and so severely bruised about his shoul
ders and breast that I did not think he would ever be able
to get on a carriage again. I remembered, however, what
Mexican Mustang Liniment did for ray horses In case of
bruises and had him use It constantly, and in about two
weeks he was as good a driver as ever, and not an ache or
pain remained.
I know you must get tired of receiving such letters, bur
I thought I would add one more testimonial to the n • t,.i
ness of Mustang Liniment Fours truly,

yy WEEK AT THE EXPOSITION.
TO THE GREAT ATLANTA FAIR.
COME AND GO WITH US.
Let’s have a lively “Carolinian party” and have a jolly time in the Great Exposi
tion City. The Carolinian foots the bill. Both women

o
The North Carolinian desires to organize an Atlanta Exposition party to go
early in December and spend a week viewing the great Cotton States and Inter
national Exposition at Atlanta, and to the man or woman who secures for the
weekly North Carolinian the largest number of annual subscribers by December
Ist, 1895, at its regular subscription price, SI.OO per year, it will give a ticket from
any railroad station in North Carolina to Atlanta and return aud a week’s board
in Atlanta. In order to protect any who might miss the free trip by only a few
subscribers, the North Carolinian will go farther and give a free trip, board in
cluded, to every man or woman who secures for it by December Ist, 1895, as many
as one hundred annual subscribers at our regular rates, $1 00 per year, in advance.
This is a fine opportunity to see, without cost, the greatest exposition ever held
in the South, and with one exception the greatest ever held in the world and in
many respects larger and better than even the World’s Fair.
Let our lady and gentlemen friends in every county in the State begin now,
and let’s have a lively Carolinian party of one hundred. Your friends will sub
