tor Cuuxe Mr. Kwart to "Talk Out"
Tho Experiment With I'cnrwm Wn
a DiiiiKoroiiM One.
Richmond Pearson, who will go to
Washington from tht Ninth district, will
never be a success as a historian, or, on
the other band, an analjzir of the condi
tions by which he was enabled to win
such a "splendid triumph," unless be
mends bis maiden effort, tu which Thr
Citizen lias bad occasion to allude. Geo.
H. Smuthers in an interview yesterday
gave the Puke a vigorous rubbing down
for utterances that be showed were at
variance with the facts. Mr. Smathers
spoke as be felt, and there was lively
reading for the next Congressman.
Today The Citizen has a few more
words to recommend to Mr. Pearson for
a carelul digestion. Ex-Congressman
Hamilton G. Ivwnrt of Hendersonville
was interviewed while he was here on
the way to Raleigh and other eastern
points, and that gentleman expressed bis
opinions in his characteristically (rank
manner.
"Uave you read Mr. Pearson's letter
in the Observer cf the 18th inst.?" asked
Tim Citizen; "and hare you anything
to say about it?"
"Hut tor certain remarkable statements
made in the letter referred to," he replied,
"I should certainly have nothing to say,
Hut when Mr. Pearson disparages
Chairman Holton s vigorous and effect
ive management of the recent campaign
bv saying that 'the victory was won
without any party machinery,' he does
that gentleman a grave injustice. I can
not recall a campaign in this State made
since 1H7G, when, under the manage
ment of Holton, more attention was
given to details and where the purtv ma
chinery was ns complete as in the recent
campaign.
"Perhaps," Mr. Ewart dryly observed,
"Mr. Peurson was so busily engaged in
perlccting 'his own superb organization

Overli,000 Paid Out. at the Recent
Term to WltueitKCS.
Deputy U. S. Court Clerk C. B. Moose
gives The Cituen figures concerning tbe
term ol court that rlosrd yesterday
which show the aggregate amount paid
to witnesses alone by Marshal Allison to
have been $12,264.60. This amount
was paid out from November 7 to the
17th.
The amount of fines paid in will reach
$1800 or $2000.
Lewis Maddux was discharged as re
ceiver of the Asheville Street Railway
company upon the submission of his
tourtb report with a request for his dis
charge. His work as such officer had
been completed.
There has been in this court an Im
portant suit over a large area of land in
Watauga and Mitchell counties, broueht
by A. E. Cochran. Thecourt ordered that
the plaintiff should file a $2000 prosecu
tion bond. The matter went over from
conrt to court, until finally it was stated
to the court at this term that the bond
could not be filed, and the case was dismissed.
In the t'nited States court defendants
are allowed to prove attendance as wit
nesses in other cases, and under this rule
many defendants receive enough pay as
witnesses to settle tneir own penalties.
In fact, Deputy Moore says, probpbfy
nine out ol 10 defendants are witnesses.
Their compensation is $1.50 aday and 10
ceuts a mile one way. And it sometimes
occurs, as appears from Marshal Alli
son's report printed yesterday, that tbe
defendant's receive their pay as witnesses,
return to jail and serve their time and
leave with money in their pockets.
WJLDO.V8 UKEATIIOU CASE.
Array of Eminent Lawyer Knor
mon Cost of the Suit.
Weldon, N. C, Nov. 20. When the
second week of tbe Superior court
opened yesterday the celebrated bog
case of Drown vs. Pearson was called.
Several more lawyers have been engaged
since the first trial and new testimony
has been discovered and brought for
ward. Thirty-two witnesses were ex
amined yesterday, and this morning the
case wns ably argued, .judge Armiiclcl
snt all day yesterday with the patience
of Job, as witness after witness swore
positively to the identity of tbe black,
dish-faced, small-eared h'g, some on one
side and some on the other. Doubtless
tor many days to come tbe dreams of
Judge Armfield will be disturbed by this
celebrated black hog.
Already the cost of the suit has run up
considerably. The 32 witnesses fees
amount to about $75; the clerks' tees,
luwvers' charms, and other items run
up in the neighbor! ood of $200, and the
endisnot. The jury hasnotagrecd. Their
per diem and mileage will cost the county
over $50 All told the cost now stands
at over $300. The jury will probably
hnng. and the case will end in a mistriai.

lost sight of the very fact that such
such an individual ns Chairman Holton
existed. Hut thousands of Republicans
in North Carolina will give Mr. Holton
the lull meed of praise lit deserves for his
, splendid party organization and party
machinery which cnubkd us to win our
greut victory.
"Mr. I carMti says that It is election
was a rmirvi! "
"So it ' ." (j.-iculnted Mr. liwart, in
ttrrupting Tun Citizkn.
" when," the reporter continued,
that $G8,U00 of cash money was dis
bursed in the district .... every dollar
serving ns a campaign fund, the money
being appropriated by Congress ostensi
bly to buy disputed lands for Cherokee
Indians. This money, he says, being
used as a cumpaign fund against him,
broke his lelt flank and came near de
feating him."
"Now, that is the veriest rot ! Besides,
it does a grievous injustice to us noble
and true n man as God ever breathed the
breath of life into. 1 refer to Geo. H.
Smathers, who, ns Special Assistant
United States Attorney practically dis
bursed this fund, and who would scorn
to lie n party to the distribution ol a
corruption fund This fund was impro
priated hyCongr(S9.oii the recommenda
tion of Attorney General Olney, and was
made not 'ostensibly,' but actually to
i extinguish the cluims of certain pnrties

solidnld farmers m Jackson and in Swain,
but haven't Sxnl 50 cents per capita
for camiwign purposes in the Inst liO
years, and who never spent one copper
in the recent campaign. That these men
should have spent any part of the pro
i ceeds, realized from the sale of their
! lands, to defeat Mr. i'enrson, is not only
absolutely false, but utterly absurd. Mr.
t'earson must find some other reason to Nuptial, of MIm
account tor bis meagre majority in this 1 Krank E
district, than that Geo. 11. hinathcrs dis-
burscd a fund to corrupt the good peo-
! pie of larkson i n I Swain "
' "His majority was very small," Mr.
Ewnrt said with a distressed and mourn
ful air. "and I am not surprised that he
j is mortified at the result. Why, in the
i good old Republican county of Madison,
j he received only a majority ot G75, and
that, too, with an alleged increased reg
I istratlon of 400. This was only 59 more
I votes tban I received in that county in
1 1888, and nearly 300 less than I'ritcb
lard polled in 1892. He ran 411 votes
I behind Moody in the 33d Senatorial dis
l trict and he is badly outdistanced by
every legislative candidate in the dis
trict. Political experiments." Mr.
Ewart reflectively remarked, "are dan
gerous. This was an especially danger
ous one."
"But be savs," remarked Tub Citizen,
"that 3100 Democrats followed him in
the district."
"In what counties does he locate
them?" asked Mr. Ewart, with a vacant
stare.
"None in your county ?"
"Not one. A Henderson county Demo
crat who voted for Pearson would be
regarded there as a political lusus natu
rae. The'Braodenburgers'in that county
were straight Republicans who yoted
the straight ticket."
"Mr. Pearson says that tbe logical
result of this contest is that Pritchard
and Butler should go to the U. S. Senate
and that the Inlnntry, tbe privates and
tbe pikemen will consent to nothing
else."
But suppose," said Mr. Ewart quizzi
cally, "that 1 have tbe cavalry and ur-
tillery. Ihe logical result might be
changed, mightn't it?"
What do you think cl bis threatened
descent upon tbe Legislature with ahun
dred others to fight nigbt and day to

"Well, that ia alarming," said Mr.
Ewart, with a frightened look on bis
face. "Would it not be advisable to have
Gov. Carr adiourn the Legislature till
Mr, Pearson it called to Washington ?
In this war we might escape this threat

representatives at least be allowed to

harassed with thepresence of Mr. Pear

are to instruct the Legislature exactly
what to do and how to do it."
"Do you think Mr. Pearson will be
