FOR SOLICITOR FOR THE 8TH ' DISTRICT, MR: WILEY RUSH. the white people may sacrifice everything and get out as some would plead,; the stern fact" re mains that f or nearly 20 years of Democratic rule the (conditions produced happiness, harmony and contentment with both races. It will do the same thing agun and it is the imperative duty of every good citizen of any color and every white man especially who has, by his vote, helped to de prive the State of a better condi tion and given it a condition that must sooner or later bring friction, that means tragedy, to now help with all his might, to restore the lists m Edgecombe. From the information that there are not 50 who will fail to vote the Demo cratic ticket in November. There are voting places at which th ere was no Populist who cOuld be ap pointed registrar. Truthful Flicnres. In his speech at the courthouse laHt week, Hon. C B Aycock gave some interesting and impressive figures regarding the expense of Democratic government as com pared with fusion.rule. The fus ion legislators were elected under the pledge to "reduce State expen ses to the basis of 5 cent cotton and 40 cent wheat." Many of the men thus elected were honest and sincere and intended to carry State to the conditions from which! out their pledges. office seeking enemies have torn it. The Highest Price Store in the State AhOAMEFUL AFFAIR. Under the , Democratic law of 1893 billiard tables run in connection with bar rooms were taxed $75 each. There was no thought, howeyer, of entering the home and laying a tax on the little estate where the father who had struggled manfully to gather up the means of educating his chiK dren and otherwise providing for their wants when he should be taken away in death. Who btlt a reckless grabbing spends thrift get would have thought . of such thing I Yet this is what that fusion legislature did, while it lowered the bil liard table tax to $25. These are stern facts that should bring the blush of shame to those who conceived them, and helped to pass them, and to those who now ask for further support of the rparties that are responsible 'for them. But some one will say the tax is too . light on small es tates to be considered. We ; answer that even a few dimes .wrung from the hands of those who have but little marks a crime more gigantic than thousands taken from those who have abundance and the privation to them is far greater thun the little relief afforded Ho a reckless set of public spendthrifts. The affair is a veri table shame. WHOSE OATH IS BEIT ? In the matter of registering a voter our fusion reformers are very sensitive about a man's oath, and many a young negro or non-resident moat probably voted in the last election. Challenging was made unhandy and expensive. It was not to be contemplated . But to meet the increased expenses of about $125,000 a year made by that pies rushing legislature, tfca railroad commidsion was authorized under an act for tne equalization of taxation, to order the register of deeds in any county this commission gees fit, to increase the whole valuation of prop erty returned on oath by the con scientious and the unconscientious alike. Thus the oath of a aubstan tial citizen of the country trying to accumulate something in life and fill the requirements of good citi zenship aud membership in the church is lightly to be trampled upon, but a worthless, roving char acter can come in to register and vote and you are trying to defeat a free ballot and a fair count if you question his right. ATS&DTATE of affairs. iTewbern. This, like Wilmington, da but a mess of exasperating in competency, corruption and inso lence by negro magistrates and other officers that know as little about the essentials to the peace .ml do about the North Pole.

The evidence all being in this lawyer arose and showed the magistrate the law The result, howeyer, shows that so-called extravagance by Demo crats was really careful economy. During the three years, 1892, '93, '94, under Democratic rule, the State government cost $3,572, 201.95. During the next three years, under Republican, Popu list rule, the expenses were just $3,959,950.21. The difference in favor of the Democrats was about $125,000 annually. Durham Rec ord. Extent of tne Yufeon Gold Fields. Mr. William Ogilvie, chief of the geographical survey of north, western Canada, and who, for six years, has been engaged in the Mack enzie and Yukon River districts, de clares the Yukon gold fields extend over more than 125,000 eqaare miles of territory The fact Mr. Oeilye is known to be most conservative in all his estimates, and not at all giyen to speculation and romance, gives additional weight to his assertion?. Other precious metals are to be found in the same district; there is coal, petroleum and other products awaiting only the means of securing and transporting to market.

' j.nere seems an untvenness" about the rewards for public ser vice m the war. We hear nothing of prize money for any branch of the service but the navy. The prizes lor destroying the Manila fleet are $187,500, of which Dewey gets $9,300. For the destruction of the fleet at Santiago the prize money is $249,200, of which Sampson gets $40,000. It is a question, though, if the heroism of the infantry at Santiago was not which plainly and explicitly saidjequal to either. Howeyer, it seems Very Respectfully. D. J. Bostian ARE YOU A SUBSCRIBER T that he must find for his client. The magistrate told him that he did not care to hear any law bear ing on the case. He had made up his mind before the case was tried that he would decide in favor, of the other man, and he proposed to do so. In fact the other man had paid him the costs in the case with thft distinct understanding that the decu.cn was to be in his favor. "On Friday 21 negro registrars were 'appointed for Edgecombe. In October fully as many more negroes will be appointed as poll holders. The only change the white people were able to bring about in this list of registrars was to get some notoriously mean and unscrupulous negroes exchanged for other negroes not quite so bad.

Now somebody has turned the X rays of psychological adroitness on Gen. Miles, and finds that he has presidential knots in his cranium. It is to be hoped, however, his presidential asperations will not be so watchec that truth and fairness can7t be seen in the coming investigation.
