Hon. A. Leazer was the honest and competent superintendent of the peniten tiary for the four years immediately pre ceding the avent of the fusionists, repre sented by the notorious John R. Smith. Mr. Leazer, perhaps, is more comment than any other mau in the State to ex pose the rotten management ot this insti tution by the fusionists, and in a speech at Newton, last week, he proceeded to do so i b fb lows: "For the last four years we have had Populist-Republican fusion rule. We could not expect good government The - Democratic - party is the only party in. the State competent to give good government. Why should it be the only party that can give good rule? It is the constituency that makes a party. No party can rise higher than its constituency. The Populist Republi can fusion rule has for its basis the negro now could a party with a constituency of 120,000 negroes, 30,000 Populists and 20,000 white Republicans give good gov ernment? It is impossible. No man could rule well with that constituency. What usa can any man have for that crowd? Under Democratic rdle the people of the State wanted to be no happier; wanted no better government, no better management of the hospitals and other kindred in stitutions. There was no need of change. There was never a charge of incompe tency. Look back at the prosperity for the last 20 years! All the account books of th e government were open to the public. Who ever heard of a Democrat ic officer closing his books to anybody who wanted to see them? now 1 am going to give you some facts. For the last ten years I have known all about the agricultural depart- iucul 01 me crate, mat department is supported by taxing fertilizers. Since the Populist-Republican crowd ha3 come in the number of offices has ben almost doubled to make room for office-seekers and for the purpose of spending an ac cumulated surplus. None of these of ficers are farmers. In the place of a small messenger boy at $75 or $20 per month, an officer has been placed at a salary of $r,ooo per year. - The chief of the de partment, who has nothing to do but sign his name occasionally, draws a sa lary of $I,8oo. ; And, somehow, now, 'he is to get $2,500. Two weeks ago double appropriations of former years was made. Where is it to go? "From 1S93 to 1897 1 was superinten dent of the .State penitentiary. I took the place with much relutance, as I knew it was hard to fill. We claim now that the Democratic management was wise, economical and successful. The insti tution fully supported itself. We made the money to run it by our own efforts. It was organized to work like a new ma chine. A man could have sat in 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 purpose of greed and gain. I say it has been managed dishonestly by the fusionists. I can, and will, prove it. How do I know the facts? 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. The 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 Democratic 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 record of the payment of the 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 ' Ag ricultural and Mechanical College of j W-Soand the book-keeper of the peni tentiary tried to collect it again in the year, and the old clerk showed that it had already been paid. On being asked about the matter by the book-keeper the officer said: 'Chargethat to me.' "The Roanoke farms were turned over with 632 bales of cotton on hand in 1897. In a few days the superintendent of the penitentiary sold the cotton to a friend and a near neighbor for about 5 J cents a pound, when cotton was bringing about 7i cents in Norfolk. The fact of the sale and the name of the purchaser both were concealed. But I ascertained the facts in the case. Why should he sell it to his friend at this red need price? Later he bought large quantities of fertilizers from the same man at $4 a ton more than other dealers asked. Why all this? What is behind it? The act of the Legislature of 1895 repealed the law of 1893, giving the directors of the penitentiary power to lease new farms. But in 1897 the same law was re-enacted. With this change? The Governor of the State and the super intendent of the penitentiary were given power to lease, the lands, etc. A contract THE STATE'S HEN BOOST. BLOOD THAN IS THICKER WATER. . Ed.

Then what is to be done in the premises ? We answer educate the heart first. Education in its general sense, that is of the mind, never has nor never will make saint out of a devil. Education only in creases one's capacities for good or evil Educate the good you have something bet ter; educate the wicked you have some thing worse. This is clear to the observing individual. Education never "Vet made a gentleman. They aregentlemen from their birth or never. I believe 1 would be safe in saying it never made a success of any man.

Anson eonnty has several college graduates; can you mention one that is doing any better than our boys educated in our common schools? If not some one has lost money, on the boy, or girl, as the case may be. I will stop moralizing, and come down to the gist of what 1 wanted to say. Some cry against the People's party and claim that they are in favor of paternalism, while we assert, without fear of successful contra diction, that some individuals are, and have been, in favor of paternalism in its worse form, viz: having the State to educate their children at the expense of the State at large, i mean that every poor man who pays -taxes is taxed to educate the chil dren of the would-be-well-to-do. 1 am in oto opposed to the State educating any children outside the State.

The special taxes levied for the purpose of raising a war iund has been in opera tion one month on August i. It was esti mated when the act was passed that these taxes would produce from $175, 000,000 to f 200,000,000 a year. These estimates were evidently too high. . The internal revenue collections o f last month amounted to $56,170,697, in dicating a contribution from the war taxes of a little over 12,000,000. At this rate the special levies would amount to only about $145,000,000 a year instead of $175,000,000 aside from the tea duty, which will yield about $7,000, 000. Even if the contributions to the sup port of the government through the chan nels of specialJnternal revenue taxation should keep up at the rate of the first mouth', they would fall at least 130,000, 000 short of what Mr. Dingley assured congress that they would produce. But they will be even shorter, for there were large purchases of the new internal rev enue stamps for July for the sake of convenience, and the August receipts will consequently fall far below those of last month. PLLL.IXG THE WIRES To Keep Jim Young's Regimen From San lingo Polities, no Fighting His Forte. T T , ... Jim ioung, 01 cnocoiate hue and re splendent regimentals, the colonel of the regiment that shoots its own men in the back, Jim Yemng, the local boss of the Republican party, is here, and greatly agitated. Military honors are about to descend in a deluge upon his person and his thirst for military glory is lessoned proportionately, as it comes to close quarters." : it is rumored that his regiment has been selected to go to Santiago to help the regiments of the immunes now there to garrison the city. That, it is said, is the secret of the trcuble and explains the haste with which Young posted up from Fort Macon to the capital. If the regi ment leaves the State many votes will be taken trom the Republican party at time when votes are most sorely needed and Yonng cannot combine the duties of colonel and political boss. The regiment should go to Santiago, so it is said. There is no longer any fighting to be done there that will require men of cour age and the fact is well established that negroes are immune from many of the diseases most dangerous to white men. If it is to see service at all, Santiago is the place for it. ine prediction 13 ventured that it will never see Santiago. Contemplated orders will never be issued. In the present war for much smaller reasons than will be presented for keeping Young's aggrega tion in the State, orders have been held np or countermanded. The G. O. P. just can't spare it now. Already hands, well accomtomed to them, are on the. wires and tugging manfully to keep the laurels of a warrior, from being entangled in the mazes of "Colonel" Young's forelock. What is the good of having a Republi can Senator and a Republican Governor if a negro ward heeler can't be kept in the State to help run the Republican party this fall?

A member of the Board, writing to a friend says: iuy recollection of the conversa tion in the Governor's office was about this: The Go vernor said 'Gen tlemen, I have called you in my presence to discuss the proposition to change positions with Mr. Smith aud Mr. Slew borne. As John R. Smith is totally nnBt to be the nperintendent of the penitentiary. and entirely unreliable in all busi ness matters. I recommend the change. .

A BEAUTIFUL RESULT OF FU- Wilmington la the Haada or Hoodlama oa Account ofInelB elent Municipal Government. Wilmington Messenger. The people of Wilmington fully real'ze what it is to be in the hands of a set of incompetents like that which ' fusion" has foisted upon Wilmington as an appology for an administration. The police force, from the chief down, is utterly without the respect or confidence of the people. There are perhaps some very good officers on the force, but with no head worthy of the name, they are inefficient and prac tically worthless. The positions are handed around for political purposes and we defnot know of a single incumbent that is entitled to his place on merit or capacity. The execrable police administration b in contempt, and its numerous and open faced failures aad its criminal inefficiency, and oft-times deliberate acts of stupidity and willful blunders, have led up to an intolerable state of affairs. The thieves and hoodlums have taken the town, and the chief and his poliecemen must have their contempt as well as that of the peo ple generally. The numerous robberies in town, with no intelligent or systematic effort to put a stop to them, make our citizens feel that they have no protection worthy of the name. Housebreaking has gotten to be so common the people do not report them, as they feel that it is useless to do so. One houi-e on South Front street has been robbed six times in the past few weeks, and the proprietor realizes tbat it is useless to expect any relief undef the present regime. One of our citizens whose house wa robbed Monday after noon in broad daylight, thought so little of the police macagement that he put1 the matter in other hands. now long is vv umington to put up with the insufferable state of affairs into which these evil times have plunged us?

As Interpreted by a Minister in the At lanta Journal. According to the scheme of prophecy adopted by . leading interpreters, the world is now under the fifth vial, which is being poured out upon the seat of the Beast Rev., xvi, ro. If so we need not be astonished at still greater and heavier judgement yet to be sent upon Spain. For the vial is now to be drained to its very dregs.- After the humiliation and overthrow of the Spauish power the next thing on the prophetic bulletin board will be the destruction of Turkey, symbolized by the drying up of the River Euphrates. We no more doubt the destruction of Turkey than the shining of the sun. At the be ginning of the present struggle many ex pressed the fear of a general war, in which all the nations of Europe would become involved. The writer took no part in such fear, and lor the reaton the time for that had not yet come. The sixth vial must first be poured out upon the Eu phrates (Turkey), after which the seventh and last vial is to be poured out into the air. Then, and not till then, may we ex pect anything like a general war. In connection with the pouring out of the seventh or last vial, is to be the last great earthquake of upheaval in the re. ligious world, which is to usher in the millennium, by which we are not to un derstand that everybody is to be coavert ed, but simply that all organized opposi tion to the Gopel will be done awav with. la Robe Change of Sentiment sou. Lumberton Robeson ian. When asked what was the news in his section on observant gentle man remarked that the people were n good health and the crops were splendid. Then, after a pause, he added that politically the outlook was getteng better for Democracy every day. lhose heretofore our opponents were now our friends and accessions were beinr constantly made. There had been a remarka ble change of sentiment recently. After this encouraging report the gentleman said further, when leay- ng, that he confidently believed iobeson county would be redeemed by the Democrats this year. Kuocked Down aud Robbed. Wilmington Messenger, 7tti inst. In broad daylight yesterday between the hours of 7 and 8 o'clock, a bold high way robbery was committed right in the heart of the city. Two colored, men, now unknown, knocked a white mau down at Front street market and rifled his pockets. The victim was Mr. William Melton, a fish dealer, and he was standing in one of the corridors of the market house when two negro men approached him. He thought nothing strange of their advance ment until the men jumped on him and robbed bim of (3, which he had in one of. his pockets at thejtime. Instantly there was a considerable confusion, dar ing which the two thieves escaped. Tho Secretary Of, War Take Exception To The Latter' Es timate Or the Value Or His "Roach Riders." Washington, Aug. 4. The following correspondence has passed between Col onel Roosevelt and Secretary Alger: Santiago, Jaly 23, 189S. My Dear Mr. Secretary: "I am writing with the knowledge and approval of Gen. Wheeler. "We earnestly hope that you will send ut, most of the regulars, and at any rate the cavalry division, including the Rough Riders, who are as good as any regula-s aud three times as good as any State troops, to Porto Rico. There are 1.S00 effective men in this division. If those who were left behind were joined totliem we could land at Porto Rico in this caval ry division close to 4,000 men, who would be worth, easily, any 10,000 National Guards armed with black powder Spring field or archaic weapons. Very respct fully, "Theodore Roosvki.t." The following reply was cabeled to Col. Roosvelt today: "Your letter of 23rd is received. The Regular Army, the Volunteer Army and the Rough Riders have done well, but I suggest that, unless yon want to spoil the effects and glory of your victory, you make no invidious comparisons. The Rough Riders are no better than- other volunteers. They had an advantage in their arms, for which they ought to be graieful. R. A. Alger, "Secretary of War." Unwritten Laws. The Interior. It is an unwritten law in America that when persons or vehicles meet on a thor oughfare each must turn to the right. This law everywhere understood and obeyed saves endless confusion, collision, and delay. The American passes to the right because, 111 firing, the gun is direct ed by the left hand. He offers his de fensive side to the stranger. In Europe they turn to the lelt. That is because the spear was rointed and the nmca wielded with the righ hand. It is re markable how many of our manners are feudal and military pretty much all of them, in fact. A respectful bow is a concession of superiority, a survival in much modified form of the oriental pros tration. The military salute is a token of surrender. The finest of all salutes is the lifting of the hat. It is an act or homage, an acknowledgement ot moral worth; and unlike the others has no pre tense of humility in it. It is reserved for estimable ladies, and it is remarkable how much discrimination is shown iu it to men. Touching the hat is a military salute and means comradeship. There is an extended code of the unwritten laws of social life, but they are mostly natural and therefore obeyed spontaneously. The unwritten law of the highway is that in meeting each must give half, but if one is light and the other loaded the light must give all. People do that because it immediately appeals to the sense of ap propriateness and right. One who diso beys these laws Is regarded as more than uncultured he is regarded as mor ally coarse. The obedience of the crowd to the policeman is an intelligent obedi ence. The people know that good order is necessary to progress, and that disre gard of the policeman's orders leads -to discomfort, confusion ,and collision. Noth ing is more conducive to happiness than the spirit and habit of obedience to law ful authority. The boy who is not trained to obey his parents is left to incur a world of trouble in life. The Wiser Way. "How fresh and rosy yon look, Nora," exclaimed Isabel, who had just returned from the beach, and was greeting her friends. "Yes, dear," replied Nora," lam feeling splendidly, and mamma says I have an alarming appKite." "Where in the world have you been since I saw you?" "I.have remained at home," replied Nora, "and have worked hard every day. But I have been taking that wonderful medicine. Hood's Sarsaparilla, and it has done me, oh, so much good. You see I always like to feel well when I go away, and I leave for the mountains next week." "She goes in good society?- "Oh, dear, yes. She's divorced oat of some of our Dest families." Detroit Journal. A Caoose as a Weapon. Wilmington Dispatch, 4th. A gentleman informs us ot a disgrace ful occurrence which happened last night at the corner of Seventh and Market streets. A drunken negro man with a live goose in his hand met up with two nurse girls, each of whom was rolling a baby carriage. One if the nurses had the baby (a white child) in her arms and after striking the girl over the head with the goose as a weapon, the negro struck the infant and afterward stuck the goose in the infant's face, almost causing it to go into spasms. "I think De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve is the finest preparation on the market for piles." So writes John C. Dunn, of Wheeling, W. Va. Try it and you will think the name. It also cures eczema and all skin diseases. J. A. Hardison. Bob Moore, of LaFayette, Ind., says that tor constipation he has found De Witt's Little Early Risers to be perfect. They never gripe. Try them for stomach and liver troubles. J. A. Hardison. He 'A multi-millionaire! Absurd! I have scarcely a million." "Never mind, dear, I will be so economical."
