UP BOND ISSUE!
(Continued from pace *)
divert tills moner for the support of
the Insane atrium. Institution for the
4uf and dumb and blind, and con- 1
ricta la the penitentiary, and the ex
penses of the state government; thus
repudiating the payment of the In
terest and applying the monoy to the
general purposes of the state.
Now, are thess bonds legal liabili
ties. as you say? The answer depends ]
upon three questions: First, Were |
they Issued by a duly constituted leg
islative suthoxity for that purpsse?
8econd, Did the State receive any
value for them? Third, If not, did
the holders take them with notice
that they were issued without auth
ority of Taw and were fraudulbnt, if
they were, and that the State derived
no advantage from them? Let ua
answer these three questions by
facts that are of record:
"FIRST, (a) The Iceconstructlon
Aet of March 2, 1867, was quoted
above for the purpose of showing
that the government which It created
was purely a police government and
limited in Its organic functions to the 1
protection of life and property and ]
the preservation of the public peace
and the effort to set on foot tho es
tablishment of a sound economic
government. If the State was out of
the Union when it was passed rb the
Southern view of Secession contsnd
ed, it was then a territory and the act
would have been valid for the pur
poses which it set forth on its face,
but for no other. If it was not out
| of tho Union, because of the Webster
view that a State had no power to
secede, then the civil government
,ttnder the administration of Gov.
Worth could not bo usurped by the
act of Congress except to assist It in
preserving llfo and property and pre
serving the publ'o pesce. The bond
issues of this legislature ^oro there
fore issued by a strictly provisional
pdllce government to which was nev
er delegated expressly nor by Impli
cation the power to administer the
economic policy of the etaib.

Most Eff&tzive Remedy
Mother Had Ever Used
Dr. Caldwell's Byrnp Pepsin BcUerea
Baby When Otbor Mertlefa?
Failed
There la nothing so necessary to a
child'* health and comfort aa regu
larity of the bowels. All children
are especially susceptible to stomach
trouble and any overstrain of the
sentltlve organs has a tendency to
obstruct elimination. This condition
is responsible for much of the illness
of childhood.
To relieve constipation a mild lax
ative should be employed. Cathartics
and purgatives are rtolent in their
actions and should be avoided. Mrs.
Alfred Du Bols. Mt. Holly. N. J.. aays
Dr. Caldwell's 8yrup Pepsin Is with
out doubt the most effective remedy
for constipation she has evtr used
and that It Is the only remedy she
could find for her baby. Little Earl
was badly constipated during his first
year and nothing she tried seemed
to help him until she got a bottle of
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Now
he Is a fine, strong, healthy boy, and
she thanks Dr. Caldwell Tor it.
Dr. Caldwell's 8yrup Pepsin Is a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin, free from opiates or
narcotic drugs; It acts gently with
out griping or other discomfort, and
Appeals to children because- of It*
pleasant taste. Druggists everywhere
sell It for fifty cents a bottle, and ev
ery mother should have It In the
house for use whenever Occasion
arises.
To avoid Imitations and Ineffective
substitutes always be Bure to ask for
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. See that
a facsimile of Dr. Caldwell's signa
ture and his portrait appear on the
yellow carton In which the bottle Is
| packed. A trial bottle, free of charge,
can be obtained by writing to Dr. W.
'B. Caldwell. 455 Washington St..
|uontlcello, Illinois.
(b) If now they were fraudulent'
they are void. If not held by innocent '
purchasers. What then la the real
fraud alleged? It will be seen that
these acts above eited provided for
the delivery of the bonds by the
state treasurer and Uovernor to the
corporations on proof that a certain
per cent of the capital stock had been
subscribed and a certain per cent
thereof paid In la eash, or that a bona
fide contract has been made by the
corporation for the construction of
the roads.
Jkl. S. Llttlefleld and Gee. W.
Swepson were the two arch Incendi
aries of this drama of abominations.
They were both carpet baggers and
both insolvent. The Influence of
Llttlefleld over the whole state ad
ministration was greater than Wil
liam Pitt ever enjoyed In the Brttlah
1'arhaMent. Llttlefleld made bogus
contracts with' Insolvent persons,
many of them negroes. In behalf of
the W. N. C. R. R. Co.. for its con
struction. and exhibited them to the
.itate treasurer and secured at one
time 1308.500 in bonds. The treas
urer, of course, could have known If
he had wanted to. that the contract
was fraudulently obtained and sign
ed by insolvent phrties and never In
tended to be executed. He and Swep
son also had insolvent persons to
subserlbo to stock to meet other re
quirements for the delivery of bonds,
nnrt used fictitious names on the sub
scription list, and exhibited the books
nnd obtained bonds In figures ap
proaching millions, the amount of
I cannot accurately give. After do
Ing this, Llttlefleld the state. Ai
the June term, '94, after this crlmr
had been unpunished for six years
the grand Jury In Wake county pre
sen ted a bill of Indictment, of whicl
the following Is a copy:
"The Jurors for the State, on thel<
lonths, present tlfkt M. 8. Llttleflel'
nnd Geo. W. Stepson .... did com
bine, conspire, confederate and agre
together and with divers other per
Rons to the Jurors unknown by di
vers false pretense* and subtle mean*
and devices to obtain and acquire to
themselves and from the State of
North Carolina, divers bonds to be
Issued by the Stste with coupons at
t ached of the value of 11000 each.
