A terrible eiquel to a murder in Clarendon, Ark., took place Wtdneii day morning, Lat Friday night John Orr was ehot by un aeaaatin The jury of inqieat caused Mrs. Orr to be arreBted, It developed chiefly by her confeaeion that she effered $200 to have her husband killed Wnl Sunders, Den Lid Kicardd, Uunif Oaatle, Ililla Weaver and Oussie Jaoobe, all negroea and the latter three women at that, It eieuin, con spired to tff;ot the deed.

From partifs present we Icain that a large crowd from that part of the county and aho from Mecklenburg county attended the big reunion of Company II, Seventh North Uaro Una regiment. Not a more benotii ful place for holding a reunion conld be found than in that large grove at the Kocky Hiver ohurcu . Attorney Morrison Caldwell, of this plaof, delivered the first address, which waa entitled ''The True South. '' We hear many com pi i menta on Mr. Caldwell's address and that it contained some valuable data. Addressas were also made by lion . J D McCal! and Dr. J B Alexander of Charlotte. An election of ollloers was held, resulting in Capt. J M W Alexan der, of Kocky Kiyer, being elected Commander and Mr. L Henry White, of .No.' 1 township, bS Adjai tant. An effort will probably be made to perfect a history of the company, quite a lot of the data haying already been obtained by Maj.

The following editorial utterance in the Norfolk Virginian and Pilot of Aug. 6th, is one of the clearest and most sensible arguments we have read against the actions of the President in appointing; so many colored poatmaeters in the South. Says the Commonwealth : ' In oppointing ao many colored postmisters at the Sjuth, where evory such uppointee is known to be persona nou grata to the oominnnity, and especially to all itu l etter ele ments, Mr. McKinley is revealing a side of bis charao er that was never suspected. IIev.ua tu posed to be an amiable and rt fined gentleman, with some of th 3 higher qualities, of a patriot tnd statesman. In th' te postal, gratuitous and wanton ap pointments, he shows himself the opposite of what he was at first thought to be. The administration of the posU office is very important and delicate, if not in some ways eacred and coni Odential. The custodian of every oflicer, therefore, ebonld not only be a trusted citizen of tha immediate community, but a fuvorate citizen one in whom all confide and with whom it la not jffensive or disagree able for any to coma in contact or association, the sckction ot a ooi ored podtmiister for a Southern white constituency is offensive. It is not the business of the govern ment or of the President to cure pre judices, reform feelings, or diota'e likes and dislikes. There is nu la compelling the appointment here, tkere, or anywhere, of a negro in ateadof a white man, do more than there iB that Smith, rather than Biown.ebonld have the tfflse. But it is the dutyof tbe government toap point ctlicers disagrteable to the peo pie, other things being tqual. That principle is consulted even in our appointments abroad; aud we do not make a colored man our representa tive in any foreign country, unless its people and government are also colored. LH prejudices alone. They will ture .themselves in course of time, if not founded in nature aud reason; and, stall tyents, it is no part of the duty of government to undertake to rtmove them or defy them. There is neither sense, pol icy, nor gond intt nt or good feeling, in making an offeusive appointment, As a rule, such appointment is an affront to those chit fly concerned. It is a breaoh of good manners, a Violation of the qurit that should obtain between the public anl Us government. There is no use talking about rights in this matter. " Auy negro, for that matter, otherwise qualified, has as good a right to be nominated and elected President of the United States as Mr. McKinley, The main consideration, especially in the post ffioe, is to give tho people whose most priyate aflaira are to pass through bis bands, an oflioer liked end trusted, and whose appointment on neither side will foment animos ity, or ill feeliDg of an) kind; and there can be nothing but false pre texts for an administration to tuke the attitude of a tyraut, or enemy, or c lis;"- 'o for re any ol j otiontb'e pels. i. iu c'oot- daily fffeusive ic'.i lioi,e wit the ptoplf." CONDUCTOR KILLED. Freight fonlnctor Will Mowerjr la Hilled sin tho Weaiarn Koad Lives Only tt Mi or While. By teVphone to The Etandakd this (Fr.day) evening we learn of an acaidtnt that occurred on the West-, ern road today. This morning Mr. W A Mowery, conductor of a freight train, was killed at Burk out above Statesville, having been struck by an overhead bridge, it is supposed. He left t al- isbury on bts regular run thia morn ing, but at 10 30 his body was brought back. His face was badiy brniesd when the trainmen got to him, and he was unconscious. He was quickly brought back to Statesville, but just before arriving there he died. His remains were then brought to Salis bury, where a large crowd of his friends were waiting. inere is rei.son io tnin, we are informed, that Mr. Mowery bad had some difficulty with a negro, and failed to ettoj when he went under the bridge. Mr. Mowery hae been a conductor for nine yearn, and was very popular among the railroad men. He leaves a wife and one dangh ter, the latter being a young lady. lie was SO years of ago.

A special from Statesville Thurs day evening to the Charlotte Obser ver says : "The court room has been packed u its utmost today, bo great has been the interest in the I.iwrance trial. The State began introducing its testimony this morning and rests ed at 4 30 p. m. At this point the defence surprised most of the crowd by announcing that it would intro duce no witnesses, but would let the case go to the jiry on the State's own showing. The argument, hows ever, will not begin uutil tomorrow. There will be four speeches on each aide, Judge Montgomery opening and Hon. O B Watson dosing, for the dt fence. B F Long, Esq., will probs ably close for the State. While it is impossible to forecast the jury's verdict, the public will not be surs prisd at en acquittal.

Iu response to a rtqutet from tho Wilmington Star he brings out the following facte: G'eenyille is the county aeat of Pitt and the home of one of the leading Republicans iu the State. It has 3 000 inhabitants and is i prosperous. Ihe wnite voters are in the nitirity. To p'easv the ntgro voters, that fearfully and won. derfully made legislatuie of '95, was induced to fix the town, and this is the way they find it. The town was divided into four wards of distorted bhapeti, so that while two have a majority of whites the other two have a majority of negroes. But while the tttrt white wards have but one aldermau apieoe, the col ored wards have two splice. In 189? tin negroea took charge with four of th six aldermen. The Gov errior eayr: ."This board eh c ed a white Re publican mayor, a white chief of po lice, a negro assistant policeman for the day, negro poltcemtn for the night, and a ni-gro clerk to the board. "The taxable property cf tbe town is near three. quarters of a million of dollari,. The board of councilmen levy the taxes aud ordor the expenditures. It may be inter esting to kno how those who levied and speat the tuxes ranked as taxs payers. One of the negro council men paid 84 cents Iniea on property, another 03 oeuts anil the other two nothing. So the fonr negro 'coun cilmen who controlled the board paid $1.47 taxes on properly for the support of the to.tn The white Republican mn r ptid 43 cents on property and the wh'te Republican chief of police did not do quite bo well he paid only 30 cents. The negro clerk paid nothing and the negro night watchman nothing. The negro assistant policeman paid $5 75. The nine men who control th town, levy its taxes and spend the money paid altogether $7.75 aud leaving out the assistant negro day police man, the other eight paid f!.20. The revenues of the town for (he year from May, 1897, to May, 1898, was about $5,500, of which about f.2,800 went to pay si aries and fees of ofliceor pluce holders. Tbe wiii e Hupublican mayor aud tbe white Republican chief of police were both indicted at September term, 1897, of Pitt Superior court for gambling. They confessed their guilt in opeu court at January term, 1898, and were reflected to the Bame oflioet by the negro board of touncilmen in 1898. The mayor has since resigned to enter the Internal Keves nue Service and a better man, a Populist, has been elected in bis pluce, but tbe town is still in tbe control af the negroes, as they again elected four negro councilmen at the town election this year and these negro coi.ncilmen have in turn eleoted tho same number of negro officials with one exception ringer nail HI l lux lliiblt. 'Nonbelievera in the doo trine for the transmission of hereditary instincts are brought to a standstill when they are confronted with such an indisputable fact that the linger nail biting habit is, in nine cases out of ten, handed d?wn to tbe children of those addicted to it," said a Wash- ingtonphysican. "I have for nearly ten years watched this thing carefully, and in almost every instance where a parent, either father or mother, has been a linger nail biter, I have found that the child ten have at a very early age mturally fallen into the same practice. The chief finger nail chewtrs of the world are the French, and it was recently stated upon reliable authority, that nearly two-thirds of French school children are addicted to the habit. "Even tor grown people there is hardly any habit, aside from the con firmed abuse oi nairctics, more diflicult to overcome than the habic of biting the fingtr nails.

On the signing of the pro tocol, hostilities will be suripendod aud notice to that effect will be given as soon as possible by each government to their commanders of its military and naval forces. Orders were atones cabled to Ad miral Sampson that the blockade of Cuba and Porto Rico are raised and gave him directions for the dispo sition of the 11 jet. At the same time too dispatcher were Bent to Generals Miles, Shafter, Merritt and Lee to cease all hostilities. The President issued the follow ing proclamation: ''Whereas, Ry a protocol, conclos ded and signed August 12, 1894, by William R Day, Secretary of State of the United States, and His Kxcel lenoy, Jules Cambon, ainbidcu.lor extraordinary aud uiinHter pltni potentiary of the R-.publis of Fruuoe, at Washington, respectively repres senting for this purpose the govern ment of the United States aud the government of Soain, the United S.atee and Sp in bave formally agreed upon the terms on which ne- gotiations for the establishment of peace between the two countries shall be undertaken, and, Whereas, It is in said protocol agreed that npou its conclusion and signature, hostilities between ths two countries shall bd suspended and that notice to that effect shall be given as toon as possible by each government to the oommanders of its military and naval forces: Now, therefore, I, William Mcs Kinley, President of the United States, do, in accordance with the stipulatkn of the protoool, declare and proclaim on the pirt of the United States, a suspension of ho8 tilities, and do hereby command that orders be immediately given through the proper channels to the com manders cf the military aud naval forces of the United States to abstain from all ac's inconsUtent with this proclamation .

It ia reported that aoting Admiral Simpson is to ba advanced eight numbers and Commodore Schley six numbers on the navy list. That will bring them together at the head of tlie list of commodoree, if the ad vancenieni should take p!a-e now and be confirmed by the Senate, That the Senate will confirm th advancement of Sampson over th head of Sohley, and of othtrcapa b'.e t ffi-.y-H as well, we do not be lieve. There has been a degree of favor shown Acting Admiral Sampson which ought to patisfy both him ! and bis friends. It hae already created, and justly sc, a strong feel' ing of public disapprobation, and i this advancement of Sampson is made it will be the crowning act of injustice to tho officers jumped over. Schley ranks Sampson by seniority two oumberf, and in the promotions it is proposed apparent ly to give them as nearly as may be the same rank) but by its operation it would place Sampson ahead of Schley, and then public indigns tion would boil over. Commodore John A Howell by the retirement of Rear Admiral Norton becomes rear admiral, Cap tain Cromwell becomes oommodore and Commander M'ilos attains the grade of captain, while all the other officers move up one number. In September Rear Admiral Sicard will retire, followed in October by Matthews, in November by Miller and in December by Bunce. This will promote Commodore- Ilowi son, Kautz, R jmey and Farquhar, and should Sampson and Schley be advanced it will make all those men, as well as VY'atSTC and Casey juoior to them. Besides, it is expected that the captains of the ships who fought Cervera's fleet will receive similar favors, and this will lift Captain Philip, of the Texan, to the head of the commodores' list and make him a rear ada,irul five or six yearr in advance of h's reasonable expetta tion and prevent dutxtrving men of that much longer period of service from reaching the rank of admiral at all. No oce questions that these brave men who have distinguished them 3elves should be rewarded generous ly, but the system of bestowing these rewards should be such that other brave and capable officers should not be the ones at whose sole cost these deserved honors cen be given. Admiral Sampson has aheady bad more than his full share of dis tinction, and Commodore Schley has not hud any official recognition for his brilliant service. It ia quite time to call a halt in promotion by fayor and to seek a better way to reward real tervice Philadelphia Times.
