J. TURNER, JR.
Lawless Arrest of The Editor of Tills
Paper.
The above telegram announces the
fact of the arrest of Mr. Turner, edi
tor of this paper, by order of Governor
Holden. No cause for the arrest has
been assigned, indeed, none exists.
The arrest has been made with a two
fold view. One to gratify the ma
lignity and vulgar vanity of an up
start who is Governor of the State by
accident, and the other, to suppress
the voice of this press in its exposi
tion and denunciation of the crimes
and outrages of Holden and his co
conspirators against public and pri
vate liberty. This is intended as a
blow at Mr. Turner, personally, be
cause Holden hates and fears him, and
at publie liberty, by putting down the
press.
The Governor has not the pretext
that Mr. Turner belonged to the Ku-
Klux; he knew he did not, indeed,
that he never belonged to anv secret
society. So far from belonging to this
society, or any society like it, he has
denounced it and its outrages with
unsparing hands, and at ths sane
time he denounced Union Leagues and
their crimes and outrages. The object
of this arrest is that suggeste l above,
and it is as cowardly as it is mean
and revengeful.
We tell Mr. Holden, he Is shoulder
ing a load he will find it tolerably hard
to carry, and unless we mistake the
measure of Mr. Turner he will sue
Mr. Holden according to law, unless he
is assassinated, which is not impro
bable. In that event, he will have
behind him friends who will vindi
cate his memory and the rights of his
family—rest assured of that. Mr.
Holden.

llolden-Kirk Prisoners All Discharged
To-Day at Salisbury Ry Judge
Brooks—Hon. Josinh Turner, Jr.,
Discharged.
This morning at 10 o’clock, the par
ties arrested by Kirk & Go., In Ala
mance and Caswell, and Mr. Turner,
of Orange, (except those for whom
writs were issued by Chief Justice
Pearson), were brough before Judge
Brooks, at Salisbury, and on exami
nation, nothing appearing against
them, on motion, were honorably dis
charged.
This news will be highly gratifying
to the numerous friends of Hon.
Josiuh Turner, Jr., and his associate
prisoners. The decision is alike hon
orable to His Honor, Judge Brooks,
and to the arrested parties. So far so
good. But this does not atone for
the indignity offered to the offended
law nor for the outrage upon civil li
berty in the Old North State, in the
persons of her innocent and injured
citizens. Never before was the soil
of our good Old North State, so dis
honored, never was right so trampled
upon, as in the forcible arrest of the
worthy citizens of the State, by the
order of Holden and executed by Kirk
and his brigands. Had there been the
shadow of a shade of reasonable ex
cuse for these arrests, had there been
the smell of crime upon their gar
ments. then there might have been
some palliation for their arrest, but
from first to last, there has been
none, nor could any man show before
Judge Brooks, even a good military
reason for the outrage. ,
The perpetrators of this outrage de
serve the severest punishment. They
already meet with a wilting con
demnation from the people of the
State from Gherokee to Gurrituck.
Henceforth they will be the objects of
the scorn and contempt of our whole
people. Their names will go down
nosterity \overed with shame and
disgrace.

all time, never to be washed out by
any subsequent acts of their lives. The
reasons which prompted their arrest,
the manner in which it was affected,
and the treatment which they have
received from these prosecutors will
be recorded in history and remember
ed when the perpetrators shall have
had their full reward.

Judge Brooks’ Opinion.
(Monday, Aug. 22. 1870.)
I We have repeatedly denounced Hol
den’s State troops as unconstitutional,
unauthorized by law and wholly un
necessary—that the organization of
such a force is a conspiracy against
the State—a conspiracy against, an at
tack upon the peace of society—an
outrage upon common humanity and
a fraud upon the public treasury. The
whole affair is a monster evil. Every
possible means should he employed to
squash the thing at once.
Judge Brooks at Salisbury, did not
have the question of the lawfulness of
the State troops directly before him,
but he incidentally decided the ques
tion very fullji. He decided that any
parole given by or pledge made to
Kirk, was neither legally nor morally
binding upon any one, for the reason
that he had no authority to grant a
parole. The decision is no doubt cor
rect. Governor Holden has no lawful
authority to organize State troops, to
clothe or equip, to arm them, to feed
them while in service or pay them a
dollar out of the public treasury. No
claim against the public treasury of
North Carolina or against the State,
for clothing, or for commissary stores,
or for horses or wagons or provisions
of any kind for the State troops is a
legal claim. If you choose to credit
Governor Holden, or Kirk, or Clarke,
or any of their subordinates, for any
thing for the use of the State troops,
you will do it on their personal respon
sibility, as the State is not bound to
pay a dollar to support these troops.
We give this warning to the people.
Let them heed it. Don't credit Hol
den, or Clarke, or Kirk, or any of their
subordinates, for a dollar's worth of
provisions or anything else, expecting
to get it out of the State. We tell
you that neither Governor Holden nor
Mr. Jenkins, the Public Treasurer,
has the right to pay out a dollar for
that purpose. Judge Pearson and all
the Judges know this. They have
sworn to support the Constitution of
the United States and they know that
this very force is forbidden by the
U. S. Constitution.

Resident Physician’s Announcement
Vade Mecum, X. C., June Ist. 1904.
1 wish to say to my friends and the public generally, that the Vade Mecum Springs are so fortunately lo
cated as to offer peculiar inducements to those in search of either pleasure or lietiltii. The fresh mountain air,
the pure free-stone water, attractive scenery, exhilarating companionship ami ail that the most fastidious could
desire front a well appointed culinary service make the place an ideal resort.
The mineral waters, containing as they do, laxative, diuretic, alterative and tonic properties in abund
ant and well proportioned quantities, make the institution a inode! sanatorium which means, “an establish
ment for the treatment of the sick.”
The hotels are arranged with an eye single to sanitation and comloi-t, containing hot and cold water,
baths, modern lights, etc.
Chronic diseases of the stomach and bowels, particularly catarrhal affections predisposing to appen
dicitis. the genito-urinary tract, the liver, the glandular system, rheumatism, chronic skin diseases, etc., etc.,
arc all amenable to treatment and curative results by the efficacy of this medicinal water, judiciously ad
ministered. as my observation and ptactical experience abundantly demonstrate. 1 will give instructions in
the ust* of the water, and additional professional services, as the individual case may require, for the entire
season, beginning June 15th. 1904. llespectfully,

Mr. Eller and Mr. Brooks. Glenn and
Stedman Managers. Express Sup
reme Confidence. But Both Are
Inwardly Scared of Turner
and Davidson Forces.
(By W. 11. BARLEY.)
Greensboro, X. C., June 18.—In the
words of our friend, Mr. Dooley,
“there will be something doing” when
the Democratic Slate Convention
convenes in this city next Thursday.
There will be no quiet before the
storm. The eve of battle is on and
the war cry may be heard in the land
and an answer is echoed from the
hills of Forsyth with sufficient force
to be heard over here in the conven
tion city.
Today I have talked with the man
agers for both Major Stedman and
and Captain Glenn. They are both
confident and from what I can gather
there is sufficient territory in doubt
to make it possible for either to make
almost any old claim, and possibly
enough to throw the leadership in
doubt. The Glenn manager, Mr. A.
H. Eller, made a statement to me to
day which claims for Captain Glenn
a lead of almost 130 votes on the first
ballot, and Major Stedmaa’s mana
ger, Mr. A. L. It rook.- made a staleT
inent which makes ii impossible for
Glenn to receive anything like the
vote he is claiming, because General
Davidson and Governor Turner have
many strong friendjp who will vote
for them on t’,e first ballot and Mr.
Brooks states that from the reports
received at Steelman headquarters a
liberal allowance must be made for
them. Just what figures are credited
to Davidson and Turner by the Glenn
managers 1 am not at liberty to state,
and Mr. Brooks prefers to give no
positive figures at all as to any of the
candidates. From my conversation
with Mr. Brooks I became impressed
that he thought that Mr. Glenn’s
friends are and have been making ex
aggerated claims as to their strength,
which they would never be able to
live up to. On the other hand Geo.
P. Pell, of the Glenn forces, states
that their estimates are very conser
vative.
In Winston I found Glenn head
quarters one of the busiest places in
the city. Stenographers and type
writers were grinding out letters by
the score answering the various com
munications to the friends of the can
didate.
Mr. Eller is confident. He is sin -
cere and earnest in his work and he
has handled Captain Glenn’s cam- (
paign in a masterly manner. He
talked freely of the situation as he
opened reports from various sections
of the State from friends of his can
didate.
The Glenn Claim.
As an authoritative statement, Mr.
Eller said:
“We have been very careful not to
overestimate the strength of Mr.
Glenn nor underestimate the strength
of his opponents. The figures today,
as reliably reported to us, show that
Glenn wiil have-on first ballot not less
than r>76, while his highest opponent
will not have over 431. I still hops
he may be nominated on the first bal
lot.”
There is an air of confidence about
the Glenn headquarters, but when 1
struck Stedman headquarters in this
city I found them wearing a smile of
especial satisfaction.
Mr. Brooks has been directing the
campaign. It has beta manag/d
handsomely. He has at hand for
ieady reference reports from every
county in the state and when Mr.
Brooks looks over the sheets his ex
pression is radiant—just like a giri
graduate at her school commence
ment and just like Mr. Eller. Un
like the school girl, however, Mr.
Brooks refuses to tell all he knows.
He must have some information that
he doesnot care to give out at this
time and the nearest estimate to fig
ures 1 am able to get is simply an im
pression that he thinks the first bal
lot will be very close.
The Stedman Statement.
For publication he made this state
ment:
“The situation is eminently satis-,
factory to Major Stedman and hie
friends. At no time sine# the contest

so designate the bedesked individual
who slashes and pastes and blue
pencils Associated Press and “Spe

head-lines (as some of the boys are
fond of calling them) for The News

A dream in sober truth it seemed
to the Scribe. He was again among
the scenes of his later childhood,
youth and early manhood. How he
came here he hardly knew. He re
membered dimly that the week had
been filled to the brim with arduous
ettort. It had been a history-making
epoch. Two of the most extraordinary
legal dramas the Commonwealth had
ever seen were being enacted before
the eyes of the people. The pressure
of matter upon our columns was
something terrific. The directing
force of the establishment, our Chief,
was absent, the central figure of a
trial upon which the public hung
a-gasp. The State seethed. The air
was electric. Small wonder that when
the curtain fell on that magnificent
climax in the Federal Court, room and

foes of free speech had sought to

THE SAFEGUARD
OF HEALTH
I’ntil late in the year ISO 9, the V ado Meeam was unknown. Nature
had guarded long atul well ihe treasures within Sauree-Town’s voleanle
walls. In the borders of many States no place upon the map can show a
growth from primeval conditions into a social centre, with increasing
public favor, so sudden as this American Spa. When Henry Froehling,
scientist, pronounced these waters similar to Carlsbad, Pullna, and
I riedriehshull, but preferable,—lnstantly the dashing cascades, the Item
look cliffs, the flexible stone quarries, the serpentine Morotock, the ini
haunted caverns, silent since the red man faced the west, the lordly for
ests ami ivy-clad palisades, appeared as a lit setting for the “Diamond
Spring.”
The briefest sketch of this development would be unfaithful, which
failed to name .John H< Sparks, the man whose genius for entertaining
people, grasped Nature's real design, and in the zeal of his great scheme
gave up his useful life. The good purpose remains, however, to make
Vade Mecnin the greatest watering place in the South Eastern States.
All will see it, who have not. No other place offers such advantages in
climate and scenery, such newness and variety, and withal such means of
making you well while you pursue your pleasures.

nerves suddenly relaxed and both
minds and bodies began keenly to feel
the need of repose.
Well, the week was closing; but
with it came Saturday and its rush of
work on the Sunday Supplement—
everybody flying around like a shot
cat with its head in a jug and appar
ently achieving just about as much.
And this Saturday—or rather its
night—was particularly “rank.” Eyes
were just about half-mast high. There
.vas a mule-race on between a fagged
staff and an equally fagged set of
Mergenthaler operators.
(Os course you understand that the
distinguishing feature of a mule-race
is that he who trails in last gets the
prize. At least so 1 was informed
many years ago by my then teacher.
Capt. W. Gordon McCabe, of Peters
burg, Virginia. And certainly Capt.
McCabe had every facility for know
ing as he watched this embryonic
Scribe and others of like mental
calibre ambling around the misty
goal.)
The machines, too, seemed to have
become infected. Every now and
then one would strike a snag, arid oc
casionally, “keeping time, time, time,
in a sort of Runic rhyme,” to the
sharp blows with which the operator
sought to knock out a “stuck slug,”
there would tloat deskwards sounds
not altogether as devotional when
grasped in their entirety as when
caught on the wing in detached frag
ments.
Well, at half past twelve the press
began humming and throbbing under
the rush of the first edition, and the
acting foreman of the composing
room sauntered in to announce with
a glint of grim humor in the roll of
his eye. that there were yet eighteen
columns of type- to set before all
“dead matter” could be dumped into
the “hell box.”
At this the Scribe gasped feebly,
fixed this dread apparition with a
glassy glare, wrote with wandering
and tremulous hand, “Eighteen Butch
ered to Make a Marco Bozzaris Tur
key Pie,” awoke with a jump from
his nightmare, tore up the extraor
