I METHODIST PBEHEi
LOSES HIS LIFE IN A
HOBBIBLE MANNEii.
Rev. Mr. I'roker, Mho Joined
the
Conference Wbu in Session Here
is KilledNo Whistling; and
X Alarm Ills Bark Wan
Broken and Hilled .
Outright,
Bev. Mr. Croker, pastor
of the
Jame6town M E Circuit, a:id who
joined the M E Conference when it
met here two' years ago,, has joined
the innumerable host of the dead,
A vestibule train ran over him
this (Monday) morning at Jamcs
town, killing him instantly.
Mr! Croker was crossing thetracV
in a buggy when the engine struck
him and crushed him horribly. The
crossing was in a deep cut and no
sound could be herd or no train seen.
It is another o'no of thoses cases
when the engineer, long headed and
mean, refuses to obey the rules and
order of his employers, which is to
blow at every crossing, The train
was late and for this reason the
engineer ought to have more dili
gently attended to his business.
Some railroad men claim that Mr.
but this is stuff as the horse coulc
not hear the train, neither could the
men on the train see the horse.
As we have said before, it is only
a question of time, until someone is
killed at our own depot, or at the
crossing west of Odell's factoty. The
engineers go by without giving any
8i2rnal. By the time two or three
have their necks broken for murder,
there will be some attention paid to
rules and some care taken for the
general public.
Mr. Croker use to be a lawyer and
wa3 yet a young man.

I the t diro of th loi
re&ntiv boasted, t&it vven. Weaver
1 epol at 5reensboroVro were five
Vi mil rail r?afnC! nronirod fr Tiaira
hundred pistols prepared to have
re3enteJ any insiflt offered hit:
that when Weaver spoke here thero
.were Jive hundred .nfle3 ready for
use had he been in3uJted. Who
carried these. yjstolS and where were
these rifle? ? This is the question ?
Before General Weaver tame to
North Carolina, the Chronicle an
nounced that when he did c ine he
could feel assured of safety.
Such announcement was piade,
and such assurance given, because
we have no hesitation in testifying,
at all tims, to the law abiding
character of the peoplb of this
i
State.'
Now, when five hundred concealed
( pistols are carried to a public speak-
jing, in free North Carolina, W) de-
maud to know at whose instigation
this reilection was put upon our
people ? And when so .many rilles
are hid convenient for handling the
same inquiry is repeated wita ems
, phasis. Such conduct will not be
allowed to fass unchallenged by the
peaceful and lawab!dinT citizens of
North Carolina.
Our people may differ on political
questions, but the good citizens
everywhere must feel an interest in
rromptly rebuking the preparations
tor armea violence we nave indicated.
General Weaver could live the
balance of .his days in North Caro
lina in the utmost safety, but no
here long if the
sentiment, cultivated by the Pros
gressive farmer and its cowardly
aud sneaking counterpart, the spe-
cial informer, gains the ascendy.
We challenge the cause for the dis
paragmg reilection upon tne law-
abiding character of North Caro
linians.
Reasons - Why yoi Should vote for
Orover Cleveland.
Cleveland is the only President
that ever recognized the South as a
part of this nation.
Cleveland gave the South a place
on the Supreme bench in the person
of L Q C Lamar.
Cleveland gave the South represen
tation in the councils of the nation
by plaoing two Southern men in his
Cabinet.
Cleveland offered Tariff reform
whereby tne iarmers can reacn a
condjton of ease and prosperity.
t
Clevland's election secures three
things :
First It will be the death knell
of the Force bill.
Second. It will make Tariff rednc
tion certain.
Third? 1, secures economy in the
expenditures of tbe people's money.
Weaver's election is imposible
herefore ever
vote for Wsaver is
vote for Harrison.
Every vote for Harrison is a vote
for high protection.
Every yote for Harrison is a vote
against every poor man's bcyung
clothes as cheap as he ought
ICtery votffor Harrison endorses
what McKinly said abouF joor
people to wit: cheap annastygo
together.
Every vote for Weaver or Harrison
is a vote for the Force bill.
Every vote for, Weaver or Harrison
is a vote to allow people to plunder
the taeasury and rob the masses.
