On Saturday, October 1st, about six miles southwest ot the town of Lniuber- ton, the seat of Robeson county, a young negro aged about 16 years, assaulted and unmercifully beat with a portion of a es handle, Mrs. Dorcas Legsett, a young widow lady. The boy's mother lived on the plantation of Mri. Lesgett. who turned her calf into the field in which the negroes 1'iYed. This so enraged the young fiend that he got a stick and told Mrs. Leggett that he was going to whip her. She retreated toward the yard and succeeded in getting hold of a fish gig, with which she struck at the black brute. The blow missed and the gig handle' was broken on striking the ground. Seizing one of the bmken pieces the negro knock ed Mrs. Leggei down and began to beat her. The screams of the stricken lady brought the boy's mother to the scene and he waa stopped. But for this inter ference she would probably have been killed. Mrs. Leggeit is of as good family as thete is in Robeson county and com mands the highest respect from all who know her.

The Wilmington Mes senger asked him for an interview, which he consented to give, and which he wrote out himself, questions and answers, and sent to The Messenger office. Before it was published, Mr. W. IQ Chadbourn, one of the Governor s friends, called at The Messenger office and borrowed the type written manuscript. Subsequently the manuscript was returned by Mr G Z. French, another of the Governor's friends, interlined partly in Mr. French's hand and partly in a hand supposed to be that of Mr. Chadbourn. ad with some of the passages stricken out. As thus modified it was published in The Messen ger of November 29, 1896. The Messen ger people preserved the copy of the interview and publish it in their paper of Wednesday in its original form and also as it was modified. A reading of the original and of the modified copies show some of the rough edges taken oil the first drafl.but it was printed substantially as it was first written. It is exceedingly interesting now as showing the Gover nor's opinion at that time ot Col. Oliver H Dockery, at present the fusion can didate for Congress in this district. We copy a part of this interview as Russell wrote it: "What do you think will the outcome of the senatorial contest?" "I hope Pritchard will be elected;" "What will be the chance for Guthrie and Dockery?", "Neither of them will have any show ing because neither, of them can ever get anything but Democratic votes. The Democratic members ' might swallow Dockery, but he would be an awful dose even for them. Democrats, like other people, despise deserters and trai tors." - - "But Dockery says he was conccien tiously for silver and would have refused the Republican nomination after the St. Louis convention declared against sil ver." . " "Yes. And the old humbug was fool enough to think that somebody would believe him. Before the Republican con vention he was pretendirg to be for Alii son, an anti f ree silver man, for Presi dent But after he got licked in his ras cally plans to capture the Republican convention by mean whiskey and ribald fraud then he was so strong for silver that he could not support McKinley. No body eyer heard of his being for silver till Butler nicked him ud out of thn manure pile and chunked him at the Republican party. Butler .thought that was great politics. By it he was going to dis integrate the Republican party, give Ra3 sen a -snaKing ague ana 'steer him so bad that he would come down in favor of the Populist candidate for Governor. So out went old Dockery, 'a-snortin' through the woods, dishing out exploded lies about Russell's buying he Republican convention and about his knifing the Re publican ticket in 1888, and appealing to Republicans to vote for Bryan and Guth rie and free silver. (I hear that he voted lor Watson, and I believe it.) Fvery time Dockery opened his head he rallied the Republicans to Russell. He was the cheapest help I ever had. He could not have done better tor me if I had hired him on a salary and he had tried io earn it. Butler's, smart management resulted in forcing upon his party an old hulk that they were and are ashamed ; of and -in solidifying the Republican party so that in all the State there was scarcely one vote, not even Dockery's own vote whirh left us to augment the Populis1 siiieiigui. "Whv was it thaf vnn rtir! ronU 4. Dockery's attacks uoon . vou during the campaign?" .Have I not alreadv tnlil von tiiot t wanted to keep him going! Besides, it consumed too much time in a speech to take up in detail the stupid lies of this mouthy, maudlin old imbecile. For ex ample, he said that my brother, Thomas B. Russell, went to his house in 1883 to get him tO SUDDOrt me for OnVArnw this there was not one word of trnth Thomas B. Russell never wenr to hie house in 1888. It was well known that I would not afwnt th nnm;nt; - Governor of an vthirnr !. in im ca use I wanted to head off the Democrats by refusing to run a State ticket in that year. The result showed that A was right He said that I bolted the ticket and caused his defeat for Governor. The truth is that I supported him and the wholeticket 1 quit ray private business and lost several weeks in that campaign, paying my own expenses, as I always have, lime was worth something to me. My per sonal earnings have not been confined to beating confiding friends bjr borrowing their money and paying them in bankrupt not ces or rtesperate compromises. 1 have not followed the profession of oftice-seek-lug for a living. Inueed, 1 have never held an office that did not involve a pecuniarv loss. es, in ts88 I bowed to the decision of the party because of my devotion to its principles. I supported Dockery, the blath erskite, against Fowle, the scholar, jurist and "rator. I did more thau this for Dock ery. VVhile canvassing with him and for mm in 1888 1 subjected my nervous system to the strain of concealing my contempt while I listened to his stupid rant and nas ty jokes. After that let no man ever question mo loyalty to the party." This is quite entertaining. It will be remembered that Dockery contested with Kussell for the Republican nomination for Governor in 196, and charged, atter he was beaten, ttiat Russell had bought his dele gates. Thereupon Dockery enlisted under the banner of lti to I and accepted the Pop ulist nomination for Lieutenant Governor Aow as a mongrel candidate for Congress he wants to make up to Russell because he wants his help, and in a recent speech or speeches he has said with sweet forgivi ness and a blissful disregard of the truth that "Dan Knssell has made one of the best Governors the State ever had." This of the man who, less than two years ago, wrote of him that he was a dose, a deserter and a traitor, a humbug, a teol, a pretender, a rascal, airar, a hulk, a mouthy, maudlin iinbelio, a dead beat, an office-seeker, a blatherskite, and retailer of nasty jokes.

Andrews Men Plead for Him and Got Gen. Bntler to Spare His Life A Story of Two Wars. Spartanburg, S. C, Herald. One of the few . "little stories of the war" that escaped The Atlanta Consti tution's gifted war correspondent, was told by Capt "Bunch" IcBee, when he was down here a few days ago from Portsmouth. Capt McBee is general superintendent of the Seaboard Air Line.. He I said that he was in Wash ington a few days before he came down to Atlanta, and while there he called on Gen. Matt Butler. Gen. Butler, like Gen. Joe JWheekr, was a General in the Confederate army but when this country declared war against Spain President Mckinley ap pointed bim a major general in the United States army. A number of men who had served under General Butler in the Confederate army volunteered when they learned that he had been commisioned by the President Among these was a man named Shaw, who had been in the First North Carolina Regi ment under Col. A. B. . Andrews, now first vice president of the Southern Railway. Shaw did not want to carry gun, being a little to old for that kind of duty, and he got a place as master of wagons. He had been a scout in the Confederate army under Andrews . and Butler, and ever since the war he fol lowed the political fortunes of Gen. But ler faithfully During Capt. McBee's call on Gen. Butler, Shaw called and sent in word that he wished to see the general on important business. He was ushered in. - "I have had a remarkable experi ence," he began, addressing Gen. But ler. "That place you got me as wagon master is all right and I am suited with it. Soon after I took hold I noticed teamster whom it seemed to me I had seen somewnere Detore. 1 studied over it a long time. I found out that his name was Nlan, and I began to get my bearings. 1 o-day I went up to him and asked him if his name was Nolan, and he said it was. I asked him how long he had been in the army, and he said for a good many years. Then I asked him if he did not belong to the First North Carolina Regiment of the Confederate army..3 He flushed up a little bit and asked what business that was of mine. "I knew the man right away, and I said to him: Didn't you and a partner capture six prisoners and their horses one July day in 1863, in Virginia?" He replied that be did. Then I said to him 'Yes, and you deserted with two of the horses. Your partner was ahead with four prisoners and you were behind with two. 1 our partner crossed a river at a lord and after he had gone on some distance, he turned around and looked for you and could not see you. x ou had deserted.' 'Who in the deyil are you ?' Nolan asked. "I told him that I was the man who was ahead with the four prisoners, and that he had played me a d-r d meau trick to desert me and 'take the horses, too, when we needed them so badly. "I was left with four prisoners thirty miles from camp. That night I was dead tired, aud so were the prisoners from travelling all day. I took them in to a farm house and made them a talk, telling them that I had treated them well, and I had, for I had given them dinner and supper. I told them I was going to he down on the floor and go to sleep, and if they concluded to try to escape at night that all I had to ask of them was not to harm me. I had treated them well and wanted them to be as considerate. They promised, and we all lay down and went to sleep. It wa3 broad daylight the next morning whenjl awoke. All my prisoners were there, and I took them on into camp. Now, General, Nolau begged me not to tell you. but I said I had to reoort to headquarters that I had found a deserter. General, he wont be shot, will he?" I don't know about that," answered the general, with a wink to 'Capt Mc Bee. "But General, I gave him my guaran tee that you wouldn't let him be shot, even if he was court-martialed. And the general with apparent reluc tance finally promised not to have No lan court-martialed for desertinff from the Confederate army. A Dollar Apteee. ', Lumberton Robesonian. Dr. Nor me at. S. A.

Q S Pills Nearly 1,000 Negroes In Of ficeThis Question Mast Be Settled Some War, So Even the Most Conservative White People are Saying. Raleigh Correspondence Charlotte . Ob server, 8th. A Democratic leader said to lay: "The speeches of Senator Butle. and Dr.Thomp- son do more than anything else now to arouse race prejudice. They are defend ing the negro about whom the white Re publicans consider it good policy to be silent There is conclusive evidence that the negroes are arming. Their attempt to purchase repeating rifles in quauties outside", the State is proof. The negroes in Halifax county are boasting of the ri fles they have. Even conservative white people are saying this race question must be settled by the ballot, or otherwise, and that the present conditions in eastern North Carolina cannot continue to exist. "In one county seven out of eleven nominees .are negroes; in another three negroes are nominated for the Legisla ture, and in yet another two. In five counties there are 143 negro magistrates, ana in the entire State nearly 300. There are 25 or 30 negro postmaster. In North Carolina there are nearly 1,000 negroes in office. All these are Republicans, elected or appointed by Republicans. There are 110,000 negroes, who vote sol idly. They of course control their party. Senator Butler says that the Democrats, during twenty-three years, appointed 15 or 20 negroes to office This is all the answer he could make to the Democratic statement as to negro rule. The Repub licans are boasting about sweeping the State by an overwhelming majority. Yet they .only claim 30,000 white Republi cans. There were at the last election 32, 000 Populists: Where do the Republi Cans count on getting their immense ma jority? The Republicans are trying to keep the negro from pushing himself for office, for fear he will injure their chances." Insulted the Postmistress A Negro Who tot Angry Be cause lie uiu not get a Letter. Raleigh Observer. The Republican postmaster at Clayton recently had a taste of the insolence of the negro that his par ty has been and is asserting does not exist. Duncan is the name of the post master and his daughter, Miss Dun can, attends to the orhce. . Horace Baucom, a negro who gets his mail at the office, came in the other day and asked if there was a letter for him. On being told by Miss Dan- can that there was nothing he grew angry and seemed to consider it the fault of the postmistress that he failed to eet any mail. He crum bled for a while anJ finally grew so insulting that a white man who happened to be in the store where the postoffice is kept could Btand it no longer and kicked Baucom out of the house, following up the ejection with a good treshing. All of which goes to show that others besides Democrats suffer from the friuts of fusion rule. A Divorced Mau's Freak. Baltimore Dispatch, 6th. The novel sight of a divorced husband acting as best man to the groom at his. former wife's second marriage was pre sented in east Baltimore to-night. Two weeks ago Mrs. Minnie Ostertag, a pret ty young woman, was divorced from Al bert Ostertag, a restauranter. Last night she married John Emmert Mrs. Oster tag was in white satin, and her former husband looked even happier than the groom in his new dress suit. When the orchestra started the wed ding march two little girls led the pro cession into the parlor. Then came the divorced man bearing a monster wedding cake. His former wife and the new husband-elect followed. After the ceremony Ostertag kissed his ex-wife, congratulated her new husband and sat on the left of the bride at the wedding supper. A few days ago Ostertag deeded to his divorced wife a part of his property.

SCOTT A BOWNE, Chemists, Ntw York, STUOXti RESOLUTIONS Passed by the Chamber ol Commerce or Wilmington Rt garding the Political Situa tion. Wilmington Star, 7th. The Wilmington Chamber of Com merce yesterday took a decided stand in regard to the political situation ia the city and country, declaring that while the Chamber is sensible that its province is commercial and not political, and dis claiming any Intention to enter the sphere of politics, they as citizens believe that good government and security to life and property are not possible under the pres ent political negro rule regime. The meeting was lagely attended and great enthusiasm and determination were manifested. The resolutions in full as adopted are as follows: Be it Resolved by the Chamber of Com merce, That the political situation in this city and county is a menace to the peace and order of the community, in which I property has no protection and life of the citizen no security; that the feeling of unrest and apprehension following upon an incompetent public service which, while it exacts tribute in taxes offers no immunity from danger to the property or person of the citizen, is detrimental to eyery business interest, arrests enterprise, hampers commerce and repels capital which might otherwise find investmeut in our midst. That such commercial stag nation and social disorder are the logical outcome of a condition which finds the control of government in the hands of corrupt aud incompetent men, v. hose au thority fails to inspire fear in the worst element of our population a3 it does to command the respect of our best citizens that this lawless and wholly irresponsi ble element, fortified ty the cousciou3 ness that the authorities are either impo tent or unwilling to impose restraint upon them and protect life, property, convert liberiy into license, perpetate outrage on every hand, disturb the peace of the community and offer indignities to. our white women which haye culminated in instances of personal violence to them on our streets, and in an attack on the virtue of the woman of our Southland by the negro editor of the infamous Daily Record. Resolved, That in view of these into! erable couditions, it is the sense of this meeting that it isihe duty of every goal citizen to exert his utmost influence and personal effort to effect results which will restore order, protect property and give that sense of security to our lives and our homes which obtains only in civil ized communities. Resolved, That this Chamber is sensi ble that its province is commercial and not political, and the intention or desire to enter the sphere of politics is distinct ly disclaimed, but the conditioas oa fronting us and calling for solution are commercial and social, and not political; and as citizens and business men, with the one desire to promote the prosperity, peace and happiness of the community, we declare to the world that these bless ings are not possible under government by the present political regime, whose existence and power are predicated on the blind adherence of the negro element 01 our population, wnicn, taken as a whole, with some worthy exceptions, are under the most absolute bondage and domination ol a few designins men of the white race," who for selfish ends dav upon their, prejudices to array them agairrst order and good government The meeting, was presided over by President James H. Chadbouru, Jr., who was on of the first to spring to his feet in the unauimous rising vote -on adoption of the resoludons. Mr. Chadbourn has up to now been a prominent Republican and was elected treasurer of New Hanover county by that party which office he now holds. He, however, yesterday declared himself in hearty sympathy with the resolution and several of his most intimate mends say that he has signified his intention to vote a straight Democratic ticket at the approaching election. Echo Gives the Usual Answer. Concord Times. What has become of the Republican speakers? Where, O, where, can they be? They are usually loud-mouthed and rampant in .campaigns. Ii ,it not a sig nificant fact that they are all so silent this year? Have they not the cheek t j defend openly Russell's administration and the fusion legislation? Why do they send out Cy Thompson and . other Popu list leaders to do their talking and dodg ing and lying? Is it not evident that their object is to divide the white votes and lead the Populists into the Republi can party before they know it? It is not evident that they desire to prepetuate negro supremacy in the east? Are they not afraid to come for out they must say that they will either stop negro rule or continue it In doing this they would offend either the white men or the negro. Theirjpolicy is to stir up strife between the Democrats and Populists, and they will reap all the fruits. Will intelligent honest white men be deceived and vote against their own interests just to spite the Democrats? His Last Eiigazeineut. Judge.

One of the worst features of these days of negro rule is the insolence of the ne gro on the farms and the absolute impossibility cf controlling him. "I can get no work done by negroes on my farm," said a Harnett county man yesterday, as he stood by his wagon load of cotton on Wilmington street. "If you hire one he is apt as not to fail to turn up on the morning you need him worst But if he comes he'll probably sloven his work; and you dare not repri mand him for it. It you do ten chances to ond he'll throw up his job on the spot . This spirit ha3 been coming over them for the past year, and it has grown very rapidly during the past few months. "Unless there is speedily a change of some kind manyjfarmers will be left in a mighty bad hole, and their crops, espe cially cotton, will be left to rot in the fields." A lady a widow living near Neuse, had much the same story to tell. She was here to get a discharge for her only son, who is a member of a Virginia regiment. "I have no one to help me," she ex plained. "At home there are my two young daughters and myself, absolutely without protection. Wo fear for our safety., The negroes are very insolent. Then the crops in the fields are ripening and there's no oue to gather them. It is only now and then that I can hire a negro laborer, and even then they are S3 trifling that I can do nothing with them. I never remember such a condi tion of affairs before." All this is but the natur.il fruit of negro rule. A Pretty Candidate For a Judge. Rileigh Post. Mr Charles A.

The so-called convention which nomi nated him for Judge met in Rocky Mount, and was composed entirely of negroes, not a white delegate in the convention. With him was nominated a negro, Will liamson of Craven, for solicitor. The Judge of the Superior court rides the circuits of the entire State. And here is a candidate chosen for this very im portant position by a convention compos ed entirely of negroes Let us sec thecounties composing this judical district: Bertie, Craven, Edge combe, Halifax, Northampton and War ren. The negroes are in the majority in each of these counties. No negro domination, you say! "'et even ia the matfxr of se lecting delegates to so important a con vention they assert their power and send only men of that race to name a candi date to be voted for by people in every county, and who, if elected, will hold court in every county in the State. The counties of this district alone elect the Solicitor. A negro is named for this office. The Judge, having to be voted for by citizens of all the counties of the State, the negro convention made a vir tue of their fears and named Charlie Cook. JO AQUIX .UILLKK'K TOM It. Poet of the Sierras Erects a Stone Pyre, Upon Which lie Can be Cremated and His Ashes Scattered. San Francisco Dispatch to The Balti more Sun. Joaquin Miller's latest freak has been to build his tomb. It is also a crematory and so arranged that after incineration the ashes of the "poet of the Sirras" will be blown all over Fruitvale Hills. When he returned from Klondike, where he had been nearly frozen to death, the poet declared that he would build a real stone pyre, on which his lifeless body would be destroyed. Several wetks ago the building was commenced and it 13 now finished. It is erected on the back of a little hill near his home and m covers a space of exactly ioo sauare feet It is solidly built of 620 huge bowl ders cemented together by skilled hands. A few feet from the tomb is abig brown bowlder weighing over a ton. On its smooth face is painted in large letters the words "To the Unknown. In the top of the pyre is a coffin-shaped hole, in which the poet wants to be cremated. There is a straight hole through the structure that will insure the reduction of his remains to ashes, and having done this the wind will then scatter the ashes over his beloved hills. ' The poet will not discuss the matter, but merely says,MIt is my wish." Family Affairs. Chicago Tribune.

If the sensational declaration made last Sunday in New York by Benjamin F. DeCosta, rector of the Church of St John, the evangelist, is warranted even in the slightest degree by the facta it fol lows that the status of religion in the Uuited States is most deplorable. Of course it is possible that the worthy di vine may not be correctly reported, and we trust lor the sake of the cause which is so vital to our civilization that such may be the case; but he is credited with saying that infidelity has become so ram pant of late years that it begins to look as though the organized efforts of Chris tian denominations to evangelize the country were hopeless. In other words, he is credited with saying in effect that religion is dying out in the United Slates. We reproduce this remarkable utter ance not for the purpose of giving it cir culation, but for the purpose of denying it in toto. We do not believe that re ligion is dying out in the United States, but on the contrary we believe that the most reliable signs of the times distinct ly point to its healthy growth. Without undertaking to deny that infidelity is rampant or that the forces of evil are more persistently at work thar ever in the land, we nevertheless feel assured that such opposition to the spread of re ligion may be due to aggressivness rather than to relaxation on the part of Chris tian denominations. Within certain limits opposition begets opposition; and, therefore, it is perfectly fair to conclude that the intensity with which religion is a.-sailed at the present time may be due to the intensity with which religion is performing its worK in the world. There can be no denial of the fact that there are vastly more people outside of the church than there are inside of the church even in this country, which is nominally Christaiu; but statistics show that the membership of the church in the United States was never greater than it is at the present time. Ought not this to encour iage the faithful men and women in this country who are bearing upon their shoulders the work of the church and who are looking forward with such de vout eagerness to the ultimate trutt'on of the labors iu which they are engaged? We most earnestly commend to the rec tor of the Church of St. John the Evan gelist the wisdom of lookins at.the other side of the picture. Doleful misgivings' do not become the pulpit, which is sa cred to the gospel ol hopefulness aud of faiih. Ministers who interpret their Bi bles aright and who preach the gospel in its purity may yield to momentary fits of depression when they look out with ach ing hearts upon the waywardness of the world.but they cannot doubt the ultimate triumph of that great cause of which they are evangels. What Scrofula is. Scrofula is a disease as old as antiquity. It has been banded down for generations and is the same today as in early times. It is emphatically a disease of the blood, and the only way to cure it is by purify ing the blood. That is just what Hood's Sarsaparilla does in every case where it is given a faithful trial. It eradicates all impurities from the blood, and cures the sores, boils, pimples and all forms of skin diseases due to scrofula taints in the blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla has won the grateful praise of-vast numbers of people by its grand and complete cures. Dont allow scrofula to develop in your blood. Cure it at once by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla. :j2 THE EICELENCE OF SYiTP OF HQS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and 6kill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California.
