ELIZABETH CITY, April 23, 1897.
War between Turkey and
Greece has begun in earnest.
The "pie hunters" are still
holding the fort in strong force
at Washington.
Mr. Bryan says the position
taken by the Democratic party
in 1896 will not be surrendered
The pardon mill, as run by
Governor Russell, now turns out
from one to two convicts every
day. Never in the history of the
State have there been so many
pardons granted in so short a
time.
Rev. Dr. Mayo, of Massachus
setts, declares that the sixteen
Southern States are paying as
much for public schools every
year $20,000,000 or $30,000,000
as the British parliament -votes
for the public school system of
the British islands.
A story comes fror.i Raleigh,
according to the Wilmington
Star, that a Wake county farmer
who had been a Democrat, but
fell from grace and voted the
combine ticket last fall, was so
overcome by remorse that he
committed suicide.
While the great Powers have
been endeavoring to "pacify"
the Cretans, and bring about
what they were pleased to term
a peaceful solution of the trous
bles between that people and the
Turks, war has broken out be
tween Greece and Turkey, and it
remains to be seen what next
the Powers may do.
It is thought that appoint
ment for the vacant Judgeship
of the Eastern District will be
made soon and T. R. Purnell
will be the lucky man. Senator
Pritchard and Congressman Lin
ney, who have been backing ex
Congressman Settle for the po
sition, being informed that Mr.
Settle could not be appointed be
cause he did not live in the dis
trict, have both endorsed Mr.
Purnell.
The Farmers' Alliances that
are alive are still passing resolus
tions denouncing the Populists
who voted for Pritchard. In
Kdgecombe county it was re
solved that "we do hereby de
nounce and condemn in'unmeas
ured terms, the action of those
Populists who bolted the caucus
nominee of their party for Sena
tor, thereby betraying the high
trust reposed in them, and we
are gratified to know that those
traitors have been expelled from
the party."
