falsely in the trial against the negro

sentenced to be hanged for raping her.
The alleged confession was a forgery.
The little Lyon girl denies all knowl

KALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA, SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 19, 1902.
HAS BEEJI_ MISLED
Treas. Lacy on Statement in
Winston Republican.
North Carolina Four Per Cent Bonds did not
Brine: 111 Under Treasurer Worth,
as Stated.
A reporter of the News and Observer
yesterday called the attention of Suite
Treasurer Lacy to a statement in the
Winston Republican asking why North
Carolina four per cent bonds, sold by
Former State Treasurer Worth for 8111
were now selling at only $lO3. Mr.
Lacy said:
“To draw it mildly, the editor has
been misled by some unauthorized quo
tations, which are not exact. The bonds
did not bring 111 and can not be bought
now at 103. I stand ready to take $lO,-
000 at those figures at any time within
the next ten days. The bonds sold by
Treasurer Worth were sold in a large
batch at a time when money was easy
and had full ten years to run, which
made the investment an attractive one
to large investors. The quotations re
ferred to were for bonds in very small
lots and having less than seven years to
run.

PRITCHARD WAS ASKED POSERS.
Questions That Exposed His Inconsistency. They
Put Him in a Nine Hole.
Some of Pritchard's organs, in report
ing his speech at Tarboro (they liavn’t
yet found out that Hon. Cyrus B. Watson
and Hon. Claude Kitehin spoke there tho
same day) printed that he was interrupt
ed by Mr. Wm. S. Clark, who asked hit”
some questions. They were careful not
to print all the questions or the answers,
and this paper wired Mr. Clark to send
for publication his questions and Senator
Pritchard's answer. Here is his answer:
Tarboro, N. C., October 18.
Senator Pritchard was boasting of the
prosperity of the North Carolina cotton
mills. I said: “Senator, I will bet a
thousand dollars that the North Carolina
mills have had the hardest time the last
two years they have ever had.” I do not
recollect the Senator's reply but 1 have
not gotten the bet from the Senator or
any of his followers.
The Senator was attacking the Demo
cratic party as a free coinage party. I
said: “Senator, were you uot a free
coinage man?” He says, ”1 am not.”
I said: “Senator, were you not a free
coinage man?” He said:’ “I was, but
have learned better sense, you ought to
have had better sense; you are too in
i telligent a man.” 1 said: “Senator, I i
was never a free coinage man."
The Senator was attacking the Demo- i
cratic party for educating the negro
that he might be qualified to vote after
the year 1908. I said: “Senator, are you
opposed to that?” No answer. I repeat
ed it, “Senator, are you opposed to that?"
and never received any answer that I
recollect.
WM. S. CLARK.
These questions exposed Senator Prit
chard's inconsistencies, his dodging, his i
insincerity. No wonder his organ did not :
print them in full.
In Tarboro his chief appeal was to a
good price at Mr. Worth’s sale was that
tho white people by an overwhelming
majority had elected a white Legisla
ture. thus inspiring all investors with
absolute confidence in the integrity and
credit of the State. Prior to this, under
Republican rule, these same bonds hav
ing eleven years to run sold at 101, and
did not begin to enhance in value to
any extent until there was certainty of
Democratic rule- Under Republican ad
ministration the 6 per cent bonds sold
down to 116. They ane now bringing 134.

turity.

Annual Report of Commissioner cf Immigra'ion.
Suggests Penalties for Biingi g in
Deceased Aliens.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington. Oct. 18.—The annual re
port of the Commissioner of Immigra
tion was made public today. It shows
that of the 618,73-4 immigrants who ar
rived in the United States during the
last fiscal year, -466,369 were males and
152.374 females. Os the entire number
of arrival Italy supplied 178-375, an in
crease of 42,379 over the number for
101; Austria-Hungary 171,989, an increase
of 58,599, and Russia 107,347, an increase
of 22,090. Most European countries
showed an increase but there was a fall -
ing off in the arrivals from Ireland
amounting to 1,423, the total from that
country being 29,138. The figures con
cerning Asiatic immigration show a de
crease from China of 810, the total being
1,649 and increase from Japan of 9,001,
the. total being 14,210, or 170 per cent.
Os the entire number arriving 162,188

were under 14 years of age* Comment-
few men who opposed the free coinage of
silver. Mr. Clark's question exposed his
right to ask support from such men. If
he had given Mr. Clark a plain answer,
here is what Pritchard would have said:
ANSWER TO QUESTION I.—“lt is true
that cotton manufacturing is less profit
able than at any period in the history of
the State. The Republican tariff has
imposed a tax of $10,089,624 on the ma
chinery bought for eottou mills in North
Carolina, and it has not helped a single
cent any cotton mill owner or anv mill
operative In the State.”
ANSWER TO QUESTION 2.—”1 was for
free silver as long as being for free sil
ver got me Populist votes. In 1894, in
Hendersonville, I declared in a public
speech: 'I am for free silver, 16 to 1. so
help me God,’ and I also said. ‘lf ! ever
advocate gold monomctalism, I hope some
friend of mine will catch me and put me
in the insane asylum before I commit any
other crime.' Again in 1897 when I need
ed Populist votes to re-elect me to the
Senate, I wrote, pledging myself to free
coinage, 16 to 1. I was the ‘howlingost’
free silver man in the State—as long as
it paid me to be. Then I became an ad
vocate of the gold standard, and so far
no friend has put me in the insane asy
lum to prevent me ‘committing any other
crime.’ Now, behold me, the protector
and defender of sound currency and the
enemy of the free silver cranks!”
ANSWER TO QUESTION 3.—“1 am not
in favor of the present distribution of the
school fund. I advocate taxing all the
people for negro education and then I am
in favor of dividing it per capita to all
the children, as Chief Justice Furches
stated in his opinion. That would give
the negroes in some districts twice as
long a school term as the whites enjoy,
but Judge Furehes's dictum is right.
“But, confound that fellow Clark, why
does he ask me such uncomfortable ques
tions?”
ing upon this circumstances Commis
sioner Sargent says:
“It can be roughly estimated from the
foregoing figures how effective in ex
cluding aliens would be a reading test,
such as that proposed during the recent
session of Congress, which would not bo
applied to children under >5 and adults
over 50.”
The total number of aliens r fused per
mission to land was 4.974. or aeout two
thirds of one per cent of the total ar
rivals. Os these 3-944 were paupers., 709
had loathsome diseases, 9 were convicts
and 275 contract laborers.
Reference is made to the alien contra t
labor bill pending in the Senate and
the Commissioner expresses the hope
that it may pass during the next ses
sion,
Mr. Sargent finds that ihe sanguine
view expressed in the last annual report
of the bureau as to the effect of care
ful examination by the United States
Marine Hospital Surgeons upon the
transportations bringing diseased aliens
to American ports has not been confirm
ed by the experience of the past year.
He urges the necessity for legislation I
which shall inflict upon the transporta
tion liues who have the means of protect
ing themselves from the effect of a viola
tion of the law by competent medical in
spection at the port of foreign embarka
tion. a penalty proportioned to the gra
vity of tin- risk to the health of the

American people for bringing diseased
aliens to tho ports of this country.
Speaking of the enforcement of the
Chinese exclusion laws, Mr. Sargent
says many obstacles have been encoun
tered.
“The chief obstruction,” he says, “to
the efficient enforcement of the law
arise, on the one hand, from the'unscru
pulous character of some American citi
zens and others who find a large profit
in sumggling Chinese of the excluded
classes across our land boundaries, and
on the other, from the constant inter
ference of those zealous persons in our
own country whose consciousness of their
own exalted purposes in relation io the
moral amendment of the Chinese ap
pears to ttmm ample justification some
times for diregard of the law and often
for the endeavor to have its provisions
waived as unimportant in comparison
with their own designs.”

Patter*on Speaks in Boxboro. Waleer Offends
Independents, Their Ticket ia P«r*on
(Special to News and Observer.)
Roxboro, N. C., Oet. 18.—The so-called
Independent movement was formally
launched here today, Mr. Lindsey Pat
terson and Mr. Z. V. Walse r addressing
a crowd of about three hundred whites
and fifty negroes. Mr. Patterson's speech
was a weak one and a disappointment to
his hearers, who expected to hear the
issues of the day discussed; but Mr. Pat
terson confined himself chiefly to attack
ing Mr. Kitchins record in Congress.
His speech elicited no applause save from
his negro hearers and a few Republicans.
Mr. Walser did better and made a
strong speech from his stand point, but
defended the independents since he prac
tically classed them with the Republicans.
The convention read out its nominees as
follows: House, F. O. Carver (Republi
can); clerk. E. J. W. Montague, (defeated
candidate for nomination at the Demo
cratic convention); register of deeds, J.
L. Phelps (Democrat); sheri, John R.
Sims (Populist); treasurer, E. B. Roaile,
(Democrat). *
There did not seem to be over fifty
people participating in the convention,
and of these, perhaps half were Republi
cans. The Democrats have nothing to
fear in Person and will elect their entire
ticket by a large majority.
