some weeks there has
of noise and
quarrelling among some negro
women in the western part . of
the town. Occasionally they
have a fight and the wool files

several of them before him this
week and he is '.-determined to
put a stop to .so much of it.
Right, enforce the law and fine

this will soon put a stop to so

Our State Senator7 Hon.
Geo. E. Butler, of Clinton, lias
done the woodpecker act and
knocked his political brains out
with his school law which was
passed bv the last: legislature.
The appointment by the Popu
lists of negro school committee
man in Sampson under that
law has done the work for him,
and the Populists who were his
Warmest supporters now bitter
lv denounce him. But George
is not to blane, his law left it
so that they could have been
white men if the Populist
board of education, in Sampson
had seen fit to put all white men
on the school committees, but
they did not see that way, and
appointed a negro in each town

The many lovers of pleasure
in this town, as. well as in the
surrounding towns and section
will hail with delight the an
nouncement of Messrs Hatch
Bro's. excursion to Wilmington
and Ocean View Beach on
Aug. 2nd. They have made
the excursion business a study
and their experience enables
them to obviate all worry and
A.iit inmdpnt to most events of
liw'.irind . ' The excursion on
l lllO -Ilk A - -
Aug. 2nd , from Dunn promises
to eclipse all others in the num
ber of people who will .patro-
1 the attractions for
11 xv - - .
tha nublic. The train will leave
Dunn at 6 :30 a. m., on Mon
,lnv Aiir. 2nd. and will take on
ivipiiwrs at all stations from
rnnn to Wilson and from Wil
sou to Pikeville. It will be for
white people only, and cheaper
tlian ever before. For particu
lars see posters.
Carolina so strictly forbids t he
same. By reference to Article
7, section 7 of the Constitution
you; will find it as follows : 4 'No
county,, city-, town or other mu
nicipal corporation shall con
tract any debt, pledge its faith,
or loan its credit. Nor. shall
any tax be levied, or collected
by an- o'flicers of the same, ex
cept for the necessary expenses
thereof, unless 1 a", vote of a
majority of the qualified voters
therein." I
Well you might say, "yes
that is all so but the Legislature
has power to change any pro
visions in this Article.'v Let's
see what it says about that. By
reference to Article 7, section
14 of the constitution joii will
find something like this : -
"The General Assembly shall
have full power by statute to
modify, change, or abridge any
and all of the provisions of, this
.tiriicie aua suDStitute otners in
their place, except sections sev
en, nine and thirteen. ' 1 1 think
it may be plainlyseen that this
special tax is unconstitutional,
and I don't think the ! people
will be imposed on in any such
manner, the people already have
more taxes to pay than they pos
sibly can paythen why impose
a special !tax? Think of this
and act accordingly. .

"when is Mr; Leavitt coming
to Dunn?" His tent was erect

and services held for the first'
time this morning at ll'o'clock,
which consisted mostly in, song
and - prayer service, in conclus
ion of which Mr. Leavitt made
a short and appropriate talk.
Mr. Leavht has a most pleas
ant manner in the pulpit which !
his audience cannot, but - help
admiring. ILe is the personi-;
fication of ' meekness, gentleness
and love. He preaches; plainly
and, earnestly and effectually.
It is a peculiar idea that some
people think -that because a
man preaches .with -power and
with the spirit, that he claims
the honor and glory, to himself.
Never was a broader mistake
made The man who is filled
with the spirit claims' 110 honor
to himself, but-rather gives the
praise, to God that he is a spar
