AemM;n half an hour later the various com mittees were appointed, and while they were out Col. Jas. E. Boyd, who was present, was called on for a speech. He amused the crowd for a while, making some allusions to the color line-or white line, as he termed mxiKu. greany ucKiea ine negroes present. He said the people of North Caroli na were howling "white man and white metal," but what we want, said he, is "honest man and honest mon ey." Of course the genial colonel did not mean the white men were not hon esthe just said that because he was expected tosay something. A contest was reported from one township and a motion was made to give each delegation half representa tion. Lost. Motion to seat the netrro delegation was carried. A white man got up to speak, and Holley, a negro, called him down. saying he was not a delegate and had no right to talk on that floor.

As Wilmington is in the hands of an in competent, Insolent police force, so Newbern is in the hands of incompe tent ana insolent negro magistrates Graven county is in a deplorable con dition. There are in the county about wu democrats and 2800 republicans; oi me latter number there are but 63 white men. So the countv at nroaAnt x seems doomed. The negroes can do as they please so far as numbers go. In this town there are ten negro jus tices of the peace. Four of them Douglas, Chapman, Green and Bry anare very active. They keep run ners out all the time to pick up every little case. No day passes that there are not at least a dozen trials in the town. It does not differ about the col or the parties in question in the least. The justices of the peace are after the money. Here are some samples of what the negro magistrates of Newbern are do ing. Some time about the middle of August two negro women, Lucile West- 1 1 -i . i orooK ana Lucy r'rancks, had a fight. No licks were passed. Two negro justices of the peace, Fred Douglas and M. W. Chapman, issued warrants independent of each other for both wo men. Fred Douglas, a former pension agent, but now debarred from prac ticing before the pension department on account of fraudulent practices, tried the cases against the women and convicted them. This was on the 11th of August. The judgement was simply an affray and the women satisfied it. Lucile Westbrook was required to give a $100 justified bond to appear before M. W. Chapman, justice of the peace. She appeared at the appointed time and informed him that she had been fined for the same offence before Doug las, but asked him to hear her case at once. Though it was the time set for the trial, the justice said he was not ready for trial, as the state's witness es were not all there. In a few min utes all witnesses named by Chapman were on the spot. The defendant de manded a trial but the court refused, saying she would have to wait till 2 o'clock p. m. It was then y a. m. Chapman required her to give a sec ond justified bond for her appearance at 2 o'clock. The warrant that she was arrested on did not show who was the inform ant on whom it was issued. The defendant and her counsel de manded the name of the person giving the information. Thereupon, the court said that he did not care to give the name of the informant, but that the information was given on oath by one of the state's witnesses. The defendant then tendered to the court an affidavit in due form for removal to another justice for trial and requested Chap man to swear her to the affidavit and remove the cause undr the statute to some other 'justice of the trial. The court refused to swear the de fendant to the affidavit and refused to remove the cause, but ordered the case continued till 2 p. m. The defendant went home without having given bond for her appearance in the afternoon. Shortly thereafter she was arrested by the negro consta ble, J. P. Stanley, of this, the eighth townsnip, ana brought before the magistrate. She was put in custody of a special officer appointed by Chapman and ordered to remain in custody of said officer until 2 o'clock, the time of the trial. She offered a recognizance with solvent security to appear at 2 o'clock, which was refused. The court finally accepted a justified bond for her appearance. At the ap pointed hour she appeared with her counsel and witnesses, and also an af fidavit for removal, duly justified be fore another magistrate. It appeared from the so-called ca pias, under which the defendant was arrested after the morning hour, that it was unsigned by the justice, but he signed it after the defendant had been in custody for hours. The defendant and counsel renewed their demand for the name of the per son that gave the information on oath Chapman refused to give the name of the informant, but said that he was among the state's witnesses. On fur ther demands for the name he went out The Local News From Our Neighbor Briefly Told. Telegram Bureau, J High Point. N. C. Sept. 12, '98. John W.

Saturday night a mischievous kid in South Greensboro made a tremendu ous snake of a piece of black oil cloth and set out t have some fun. He at tached a string to his fake snake, hid himself in the yard, placed the snake in the grass on the outside of the side walk and waited. People were pass ing close together and the kid's trick seldom failed to work. He frightened several men almost out of their wits and nobody caught on. He had been cautioned not to fright en women and for awhile he let them pass. But before long he sighted an o:d colored auntie whose avourdupoi is precious near 400, coming his way with a bucket on her head. It was too good to miss and as auntie approached the kid became more and more ner vous. When auntie reached the right place he pulled the string and the snake ran across right at her feet She saw it and with a yell that startled the residents of that community -1 1 3J 1 1 ... aim uuuuueu oacK. as sne jumped she grabbed at the bucket but too late and the bucket and its contents fell at her feet. In an instant the kid was on the scene coming up from an opposite direction to see what the trouble was all about. The old woman told of the snake and the kid went off to "hunt" it. She grieved much over the loss of her "slops" (with which the bucket was filled) and finally picked up the bucket and wended her way homeward, sorrowing. The kid replaced his snake and resumed his seat in the dark fully resolved to let the women alone for he realized that had anntie sus pected him his career would most prob ably have ended.
