"Prove all
Cause of Outrages and Lynch'
' ings.
To the negro lynching in Illi
noisvistb be added another in
Kansas, illustrating the pitiable
results in the North as well as
the South of the sad blunder
the Republican party has made
in trying to use the negro as a
political instrument. The col
ored race has been filled with
impracticable ideas, aspirations
and resentments- has been de
moralized by its pretended
friends . Beforjj the civil war
there were no j assaults by ne
groes upon white women and
no lynchings of negroes in the
South, or elsewhere. The ne
gro respected and trusted the
white people as friends, but to
create' a political ally in the
South the ex-slave was given
the ballot, taught to hate his
former master and encouraged
to try to dominate the Anglo
Saxon. Failure was certain.
Nowhere on earth do thexolor
ed races dominate the white.
The former advocates of enfran
chisement now frankly confess
the failure of their effort and
regard it as a mistake, both be
cause the negro has shown him
self unable to obtain political
mastery and because his enfran
chisement has increased the po
litical power of the section they
had hoped to put down.
lhe South suffers the penatly
of their ill will and blundering.
The more vicious negroes resent
their failure to obtain the ad
vancement promised- them by
their Northern allies .in ill-
treatment of defenseless white
women and in burning houses,
towns, crops, etc. The vast
majority of the colored people
lead innocent lives, but those
who come in contact with polit
ical orators are demoralized and
become dangerous. Jf they
cannot equal the whites in busi
ness skill, wealth, politics, etc.,
they can at least wreak ven
geance upon white children,
women and other belongings of
the white race, looking always
to the North for sympathy and
protection. But for their en
franchisement such ideas would
never have entered their heads.
Their outrages are not caused
by exceptional mistreatment in
the South. The outrages and
consequent lynchings occur in
the North as well as the South,
and oftenest in the South be
cause most of the vicious col
ored element live in the South.
The Northern press should,
therefore, in justice to the
South, cease to ftreat lynchings
as phenomena due to any per
versity of the Southern people,
or defect of their civilization.
The same cause produces the
same effect everywhere. Out
rages on women are as certain
ly followed by lynchings in the
rural districts of the North as
in like Southern localities. Hor
rifying details abound in all
such incidents. In the South
they are gathered up and exag
gerated Jby Republicans for
Northern consumption, but the
facts lamentable anywhere
are no more indicative of bar-
barity in one section than in
the other. What the North
should do in the premises is to
make amends for the permanent
evils put upon the South in the
pursuit of sectional advantage.

Gretna Green Does Not Exist.
The novelists have woven
romance about Gretna Green
and its village blacksmith which
will last for all time, and which
for all time will supply a de
nouement to the wares of sue
cessive professional story tel
lers. The sordid facts of Gret
na Green marriages and the
still more sordid details of the
Gretna Green registers are wide
ly different from the picturesque
romance which we associate
with the days of postboys and
the mad racing and chasing
through Carlisle. The history
of Gretna Green and its mar
riages rests upon the abomina
ble marriage laws of Scotland.
We call them abominable, for
they are the curse of the Scot
tish genealogy. The marriage
laws in Scotland were and are
(for they remain unaltered)
atrociously simple, and therein
lay the temptation and attrac
tion of Gretna Green. Proba
bly the- novel-reading public
will be shocked to hear that
there is no such definite place
as Gretna. Green : tile name ap
plies to a district comprising
some number of villages or ham
lets some miles apart. All that
was necessary was to get over
the border into Scotland, and
there make the necessary con
tract before witnesses. The
blacksmith's shop on the high
roaci north trom Carlisle was
the most easily accessible, and
was probably the best known,
but there were some houses
just over the border which kept
witnesses at hand, and retained
a register of the contracts en-
terea into, me registers were
a secondary, matter, and the
fees demanded were large and,
where secrecy was an object,
extortionate. 1
inose uretna ureen mar
riages still occasionally take
place, though now only between
residents in the neighborhood;
but as similar ceremonies take
place all pver Scotland, there is
nothing " especially distinctive
about the contracts made at
yiese uretna ijreen marrying
shops. . - But unless an actual
and proper ceremony takes
place, we believe these Scottish
marriages are not valid upon
persons wheres both are of En
glish domicile, though to those
intending to elope we can offer
the consolation of the fact that
the preliminary residence and
advertisement necessary in Eng
land are not compulsory in
Scotland, and a marriage in a
Scottish church is binding. So
a couple of return tickets to
Scotland may still carry matri
monial advantages. The Eng
lish law attaches great weight
to domicile, and, provided dom
icile be established a marriage
legal under the lawr, of the
place of domicile to be valid in
England. Exchange.

Tobacco Dots
BYCAPT. E. M. PACE, IN SAMP
SON DEMOCRAT.
Tobacco sticks is an essential
element in housing vour tobac
co crop and now is the time to
get them out before you get
busy, and let them be thorough
ly seasoned. For every four
acres of tobacco, rive out and
have sawed 5000 sticks, four
feet, six inches long f to an
inch thick:, better have a few
more than is required than not
enough. One thing, you can't
cure your crop unless you have
sticks. Here s the comparison :
ii no piants, no crop; it no
sticks, no curing sure, and this
is as true as preaching, and
good preaching at that. Your
tobacco when cured must re
main on the sticks, its the only
safe way to handle it and save
your crop.
The time has come for vou to
overlook, and see what is need

er, the other door is as essen
tial as the first, and be on the
eaves side, your furnace goes in
the end, your tie poles run from
the eaves side always, and con
tinues on up in the roof.
There is one thing that a
person will learn lnlushrst
season's experiences, if no other
in tobacco, and that is, he is
not quite old enough, smart
enough, or handsome, enough
to fool tobacco, and my advice
is when you have made up your
mind to try tobacco, make up
your mind at the same time to
do the needed work at the need
ed time and you will succeed.
Bright, colored tobacco is here
to stay and the demand is great
er than the supply, because the
sections where such can be
raised is limited.

First Bald. Then White.
Mr. W. M. Wilson is well
Mown to many or our readers.
He has undergone a strange ex
perience lately. About ten
months ago he accidentally
struck his head against a post.
He was looking in, another di
rection from the post when he
ran against it, consequently the
shock was great, although at
the time no serious injury re-
suited. A few - weeks after the
accident his hair, beard, eye
brows and eye-lashes began to
drop out. This continued until
he was as bald as an orange.
A little later on his hair be
gan to grow on his head and
instead of the natural color it
was white, not gray, but as
white, as cotton. In the same
manner his beard, eye-brows
and lashes were white. He re
mained this wray until a week
or so ago, ten months after he
received the shock, when his
hair began to assume its natur
al color, a dark brown, and in a
month or so Mr. Brown will, in
all probability be the same as
his friends knew him a year
ago. High Point Enterprise.

The Kind Yon Ha Always Bought
Death of a Salem Man Who Had
Strange Adventures.
There has ju9t died in Salem,
Mass., an old man of ninety
whose life was an .adventurous
one. His name was John R
Nichols, and as a youth he gave
up the counting house to take
to the sea. In 1832 he started
for Rio Janeiro from Salem in
tne brig Mexican, with a cargo
and a large amount of specie.
Nichols being mate of the ship.
One day they were overhauled
by a pirate, and, after brutal
treatment of the men and the
robbing of the ship of all the
money, the pirates battered
down the hatches and set fire to
the vessel, and left her to burn
with the men below. Fortu
nately for them, one deadlight
was overlooked, and throug
that the men crawled and kept
down the fire until the pirates
had disappeared beyond the
horizon. Then they put it out
entirely.
The compass had been de
stroyed, as had most of the rig
ging of the ship. They sue
ceeded in getting hor back to
Salem, however. There they
gave an account of their seiz
ure. A ship which sailed from
Salem for the East Indies on
arriving there met a vessel in
port which the captain suspect
ed to be the pirate, and he was
about to warn a British man-of-war,
when the. pirate sailed
away. .
She entered a harbor on Naz
areth River, where another
British man-of-war attacked
and captured her, with most of
her crew. The pirates were
taken to England, and by the
Courts of that country remand
ed to the United States and
brought to Salem in a Britisli
war ship. They were tried in
Boston, before Judge Story. All
were convicted and sentenced
to death. One was pardoned
because he had saved an Ameri
can ship in distress. The oth
ers were executed. Philadel

Duty of Negroes.
If it were known that the
great majority of negroes would
assist in the detection and ar
rest of the wretches of their
race who commit the crimes
that provoke nearly all the
lynchings in the south, such
crimes would oecome very
rare.
The negroes of the South
have in this matter a duty to
themselves and to the people
among whom they live, whic.i
they have failed to perform.
It is in their power to decrease
lynching in the South by mak-
ig it certain that those who
. . ...
commit the crime for which
lynching is most certain shall
find no hiding place in negro
settlements or in negro cabins.
