The leading article in the January

of the Colonial period . and its influ

claims f or the Colonial style a purely
American (National type. The article
is calculatied to arouse the patriotic

The Coon and Posscm C3ub Its An
: Inual Meeting
, 1 ...! ; ' i. .
! The venerable ?'Coon and Possum
Club," the 'oldest and most success
ful social institutjon in this com:
munity, in place of its annual ; coon
hunt in the '.'Great Fork Swamp' on
Christmas ' eve, held a banquet at
the hospitable home" of President
Arthur Pritchard on Christmas day.
0ing to the cold, and inclement
weather, we were, unable to attend,
which causes us regret, and our. re
gret is the greater from the reports
that come to us of the good cheer,
good fellowship and happiness M,pf
our brethre-n at the festive occasion.
There were present about thirty of
the bfethren1 who greatly enjoyed
themselves. ' They had turkeys and
pigs, coons and possums, and turkey
shootings, and jokes, and f he disap
pbintec : cbqn dogs were .there and
were riot forgotten, but their plain
tive notes of I lamentation plainly in
dicated that a bounteous banquet
was ,not an old-time coon and pos-
sum " hunt in the Great Fork
Swamp. Nolley, ; one of . our old
charter members, had to sit off
on a ' log and . hold - old Jowler.
to keep him quiet, and Dr. Tom, one
of our new acquisitions, of last
year's Vintage, who was admitted to
theorder of Coons before the regu
lar course in the order of 'Possums,
as a tribute to his interest in the
Club, his braving the inclimency of
the weather to attend the banquet
of his brethren, and his faithful dis
charge of all the duties of his mem
bership, recommended to Nolly
to administer ajJos of ipecacuanna
to old Jowler as an intestinal, sedat
ive, and Nolly, a little jealous of Dr.
Tom's agility as a dancing mepber
of the Club suggested that a better
prescription for Jowler would be an
aromatic injection of cantharides
with forty drops of bolus.
After this play of jocularity be
tween an old charter member of the
Club ; and a junior of the 'Possum
Class, .who aspires to the honor of
successor to the present incumbent
of the Presidency of the Club, Pres
ident Pritchard called the Club
o order and said: Brethren, we've
had a nice time, a bier time, aer-lo-ri-
ous time: Every thing is "all right--
hat's' right." j Some of our old char
;erj members are not with us, ow$ig
;o the inclemencyr of the weather,
and our sole hoxiorv member. Colonel
Telch of Boston, is so heavy with
Xmas baked beans he couldn't come,
so I will conclude with "all right," a
sentiment to the health of Col.. W. L
Welch of -Boston and Col. Qreecy,
who : are riot present. May they
ive long and prosper, which would
be all right. And,lin conclusion, we
ask to state that Miss Gladys "the
daughter of the Regiment'.' is not
well and . is taking catnip tea, by
prescription of Dr. Tom. . Riddick,
who has braved frost and storm to
be with us this day, from his roost
hi Perquimans . county, for which
we give! him honor. You will now
all assemble .en groupe to be shot
at with a kodak, and the coon dogs
are"! all invited to join the group.

A Venerable Age.
James Banks, of color, departed
this life near Nixonton, Pasquotank
county, (N. C.) on Wednesday; De
cember 23rd, 1896, aged one hun
dred and three. (103) years. His
age is of record on a much worn
roll of ages, apparently made in the
last decade of the last century. The
entry is as follows : "James Dozier,
son of' Solomon .Knox and Susan,
his wife, was born the 3d of Novem
ber in the year 1793." He was born
a slave, his first owner being a Do
zier, and his last a Banks. His oldest
child, now living, was 73 in .March
last. 'A grandson, now living, is 52
years old. He adopted the Chris
tian faith .when about 60, and abid-
1 ' "
ed I therein until his death. His
mental faculties were unimpaired to
the last: His bodily vigor gave way
some months before nis death and
he became entirely helpless. A few
months before his death, his daugh
ter, Mary Overton asked him how
he felt and he answered that he saw
angels around him and he -was' go
ing to rest. -
The vision of angels is not an un
common! experience .' in the history
of the departing1, and it is also the
teaching of inspiration that we are
attended by angels of opposite char
acter in oui earthly: pilgrimage? the
good angels encouraging, us in the
paths of virtue and tha wicked in
the paths of selfishness and vice.
The Crowning! Act of Governor Carr,'
Amonr the last acts 6?T?overnr Carr
of arorth Carolina, "was to annul, re
peal, mullify and overturn a judicial
act of the last term of the Superior
Court jof .ttie Firsi Judicial Circuit of
orth Carolina which was an outrage
upon justice, an outrage upon the
good order of society, an outrage
upon the good name of North Caroling
upon tne purity or tne ermine, ana a
stigma upon the learning, integrity
and honor of the bench. I
At jthe iafet term of the
Superior
ourt of ChoWan county, Charles
ratt an officer of-the police force of
dehtoni John Harris and William
eggett, were arrested upon the com
plaint of Neil Skinner, if or assault and
battery of Skinner, a notoriously law
less and desperate negro of Edenton,
anq for using unnecessary violence in
his fairest. A store had been broken
into in the townj the burglar was driy--en
off, and Pratt was informed that
Neil Skinner was the guilty irty.
Pratt , soon . found Skinner near by,
an4 'knowing his, desperate 'character,
he summoned John Harris and Wil
liam Legget to assist him in the ar
rest. Skinner, who had a name as . a
negro bully, defied them and resisted
the! arrest, giving Pratt a terifflc blow
and severely biting Harris. The fight
was a rough one, andthe,. policemen
had to use their clubs to make his ar
rest.and prevent his doing" further in
jury to them." A negro mob riot was
imminent, and by anthority of Govern
or Carr, Mayor ! Vann called; on the
Elizabeth City 'Naval Reserves," who
armed promptly ' and quieted the
threatened violence. J
The officers were soon 'arrested, upon
representations of Skinner, andwere
-tried at ttfe ;last September term of
court, cimvicted by the presiding Judge
without allowing a jury to render a
verdict, and then sentenced Pratt jto
the county jail fpr 12 months and
Harris and Legget for 6 months. . j
.We are glad we dp' not know certain
ly, what Judge was holding Court at
the time, but whether he was'our rjl
itical friend or not, he was a disgrace
to the honored judiciary of North
Carolina,' and should have been arres
ted by order of Crbvernor Carr, if he
had abthority, stripped of his judicial
robes and put in the county jail for
life. We hope he was one of those
raccoon judges that were appoint
ed by the last hybrid .Legislature of
North Carolina. ' , ,-. jt
Governor Carr 'did hot drag that
Jeffries from the bench, but he did'
next best, Upon a petition frprn the
citizens of Edenton, he overbde the
judgment of the miscreant who sen
tenced faithful officers of the law to
the county jail for doing their duty,
pardoned the j faithful officers of the
law, and5in doing so, commended their
cdnduct'in these words:.
"They were only doing their duty as
they knew it. In iny , opinion j it would
be little less than a public calamity for !
these men, who thought they ' were
doing their duty, and would undoubt
edly have. been! censured and punished
had they failed to' arrest this mkn,
should now suffer humiliating punisn
ment and the-alleged felon -go free,
under the direction of the cdurt. ,The
crime of resisting an officer in the dis
charge of hisfduty is. much too fre
quent,; A complete pardon is hereby
granted the three omeers. 1 .
We thank Governor Carr.j Honor
to whom honor is due. Praise to
to whdm praise. And gratitude to our
Chief Executive for the crowning act
of his excellent administration.
