In our Lust issue we published the address of the Populist ex ecutive committee issued to the voters and in which it boasted of the ; great things that the Pop ulist party had done for a long suffering'"' people. Space for bade any comment on it last week and now we-will endeavor Vi tell of some things of which they (the Populists) are proud. Senator Butler is said to have written the address and the committee, when theymet, had nothing to do but sign their names at the bottom and return to the body 'of Populist .office holders and have it ratified. After the preamble' this deliver ance of unmitigated gall and cheek Hays : 'We have .secured to the citi zen the right to cast one vote at all public elections and to have that -vote-counted as cast." This is one of the honest (?) things they have done, and yet if the honest (?) election law had not allowed 20,000 negroes, who Ave re not' entitled to vote, to vote Jtiwsell and the Popu-' lists would not have been elect ed. . - . "W'e have taken the public schools out of the hands of par tisan politicians and restored them U) the people." This is another of its -wonderful deliv erances. We venture the asser tion that in no township in the State is a majority of the school committeemen Democrats Do the people prefer negro school committeemen for white schools to partisan political committee men? This non-partisan Popu list 'law has made negro school committeemen for" white schools in this county. Yet the public schools is in the hands of the people(?). God, pity the peo ple, r "We have ji ven the local self-government to each count-in the State," is another of- their deliverances of which they boast. Yes, proud are they that negro magistrates, neirro sheriffs,- nei;ro school boards, negro county commis sioners and county officers, ne trro tax collectors are thrust upon the white people, the property owners and tax payers, of the eastern counties. This is the ''local self-government" thev have iriven us of which the . i k ,1 nlrio r.fvntn rnv- i AHlfnnanic ioios. i uiarkHf n !. .fiurin-rr .i.ft.... lias umcjtu i jyictv .-.v-vj. -. , tendere, (not guilty, but will j Tiie town aldermen in special!

"local self-government But how? garden seeds, drugs, tobacco and snuff: We have seen the penitentia ry turned entirely over to the fiisionists and new .men put in the places of the old ones and new places, made for others who voted the fusion ticket and the salaries of all raised. They have turned off the white guards and placed negro guards in their places. In fact so sweep ing and radical have the changes been that Mr. Smith, Superintendent of the peniten tiary, has said that he will not issue commissions to a number of the men appointed by the di rectors for the reason, he says, that it will greatly impair the work and efficiency of the in stitutions and run the State to a large expense unnecessarily. The address condemns the '90-year lease of the North Caro lina Railroad, and declares that railroads do not pay enough taxes. Here they are fighting a contract thereby the State re ceives seven per cent, per an num on . the money invested when a citizen of the Slate is debarred, under the law from receiving more than G per cent on ' money loaned. (re a'ro not upholding the lease for we think it was made for too long a time but we do think that a citizen .should be allowed to re ceive the same rental for his money as the State. ) It boasts of what the Populist party has done in the five years of its existence and relates with much elation the many acts of - good and well done ( ? ) " which it has accomplished. But read er, did' you ever know a politi cal organization age of fite years ers of that that one-third .r were traitors to live to the and the lead- admit of its members This is what organization Senator Butler, the chief mogul of his party . admits, He- says that there were only forty Pop ulists in the last legislature that stood firm and true to the de mands of the party. They had sixty or more in that body of august statesmen. One-third were traitors. Were they not representative men of their par ty? Certainly they were. Can you afford to align yourself with a party that one-third of its members prove traitors the firjst time thev have a chance to do anything? Does it not prove to you that the office seekers in that party are in it for the loaves and fishes and "damn i lie people" 'if they get in. treasury the sum of $100 and if said person remains in busi ness in the town one year then the monev to be refunded to the ; person paying it in. I his law is made to protect our mer chants and t prevent persons from opening a stock of mer chandise of j second-h rl -and cheap goods and remaining here only during the, fall months when the most 'money is han dled of anv season of the vea-r. It is not made to keep merchants away who expect to make their location permanent with us. These we are glad tohave. Mr. J. A. Driver has been ap pointed special police and has given his bond in the sum of $300. When Marshal Snead is sick (as he is now) or on leave of'absenee, or when extra police is required Mr. Driver' will be on dutv. Surfdeu Iatli. Mrs. Virginia C. Houston, wife of Mr. Qweii Houston of our town, died almost suddenhy last Fridav afternoon. She had been sick for about two weeks but had been, attending to her household duties most of the time. Thursday evening Mr. Houston1 went over in Sampson after her sister to come and stay with her and had just returned a few hours before she died. Dr. Moore called to see her Friday morning and found her temperature 104 and the action of her heart bad. He told her to lie down and keep quiet but she did not and remained up until her husband came in the afternoon, and in a short while site was dead, the heart failing to act. Her remains were taken to the home of . her father and interred Saturday afternoon. The deceased was a daughter of Mr. G. B. Draughoii of Hon eycutt's township, Sampson county, and was about 24 vears of age. She leaves four sniall children I with her sorrowing husband to face theVsterii reali ties of life without the gentle care of a -mother and wife. She was a member of the Baptist church here. BOARD OF EQUALIZATION. governor of the State to ap point, half the aldermen for these towns and prevent the -.white people from controlling the affairs of the town. This is the "local self-government" thev gave these cities? When thev could not get the negro in office bv "local self-govern-incut" they gave the appointive power to the governor to do the "local self-government"' act. We say. the 'Populists are to blame for this. We expected '.nothing more of the-Republicans, yet without the aid of the Populists the Republicans could do nothing, and the Pops were more than willing to help. They boast of the taking from political partisanship the State institutions and putting them in the control of ithe people. A more false statement has never been made. The committee of office holders knew that this statement was untrue when they made it. The facts are entirely different. We have seen good competent men turned out and One of the most foolish acts and one that will create a deal of confusion and worrv with the sheriffs and registers of deeds, passed by the late mob called a legislature is the "State Board of Equalization" act. This act ' makes the Railroad commissioners a ".board oi Equalization." That is they are to equalize the value .of property listed in the State for taxation. For .instance the' take horses and 'make them equal in every county. If the average validation of horses is $75 in Wake county, $100 in Buncombe county and $50 in Harnett county, they make an average or equal- and make horses in Harnett $75 by adding $'25 and bv subtracting $25 in Buncombe make the horse val uation there 'also $75. This is what we understand is their dutv to make the tax valua tion of horses and other proper ty the same in all the counties. This will create an innumera ble amount of work on the makers of the tax-lists. Then how are they going to tell the difference between a good horse and a poor horse? The' made the law and re quired you to take art oath that you gave in your property at its true and just valuation and if you did not the law makes it punishable by fine and imprisonment for failure to do I Settled uielly. The excitement over the ar rest of Mr. Cornelius Hodges last week passed off very quiet ly and peaceably. Sheriff Pope released ! him on bail late Wednesday afternoon for his appearance Thursday morning, and on learning that Judge Clark, through Mr. McLean, had 'granted a writ of habeas corpus the Sheriff released him on bail again. Sheriff Conley of Reidsville, Ga., .arrived on the morning train Thursday and remained here until-Friday afternoon when 'he returned home without his prisoner. Mr. D. H. McLean,. Sheriff Pope and Mr. Hodges and Mr. A. F. Surles left yesterday for Raleigh where the writ was to be heard before Judge Clark. Mr. McLean informs us that the requisition papers were very irregular and that he hoped to get the requisition recalled. It seems that the' only wanted the young man for the collec tion of a debt and this he is willing and is trying to arrange to pay. The News : and Observer of to-dav savs that Hodges must go to Georgia for trial. - Jliijor's Coiirtl Friday night Mr. J.
