West End Guards, We are glad to not the organiza tion of a new military company in our town. Eighteen of our manly boys, with Capt. Percy Gentry as commander, have formed a company under the name of "West End Guards." They have purcl. ased from Prof. Grimsley the guns formerly used in th graded school drills. Of course these guns don't shoot but they have all the ap pearance of war and that is all the boys desire at present. The exactness and smoothness with which Capt. Gentry drills his compa ny is surprising. While it is but pleasant pastime for the boys, it is ed ucating them on military tactics, as well as ins illing the two essentials of soldier life self denial and obedience, which form the makeup of a good cit izen and gentleman as well. Let this young company receive our heartiest encouragement. You have our best wishes, boys. Colonel Burgwyn's Position. Colonel Burgwyn, of the Second N. C' Regiment, has gone to Henderson, though it was stated by some of the men of the regiment that he had gone to Washiugton city. Before he left the city Colonel Bur gwyn was questioned as to the report that he desired the Second to continue in. service. Colonel, Burgwyn said in explanation of his position : "This is true only so far as it ap plies to the officers and men who desire to remain in service. If they so desire I conceive it to be my duty as their commanding officer to aid them to serve out the term of the service for which they volunteered. Otherwise not. Iam not advised as to what steps, if any, are being taken to continue the regiment in service. I presume it will be mustered out as ordered, and that opportunity will be offered those so mustered out to re-enlist in other com mands. I am under the impression quite a number will require this." Morning Post. Visit Thomasville Orphanage. Xa order to allow all who desire to visit the Thomasville Orphanage a chance to do so and see the children in their Sunday exercises, the Cherry Street Sunday School of this city has arranged with the Southern Railway to carry all who want to go for the small sum of seventy cents for the round trip,on the regular train which leaves at 7:30 a. m., and returns at 9:-K) p. m. If you want to go be at the depot on time to-morrow morning. If you have not seen this orphanage you have no idea of its work, and you will feel better after having visited it. Please Answer. If Mr. Duke gave only one hundred dollars to Trinity College, he would be called stingy. Because he gives thousands, why should he be accused of unworthy motives prompting this munificient charity?

The Political Pill Peddler Shown Up in His Inconsistency A Strong Bill of Indictment. Mr. Editor : By a communication published in your last issue, I replied to Dr. Cy Thompson's demagogical charges about democrats appointing negroes justices of the peace in 1877. This charge I take to be a challenge to those attacked to inspect and ven tilate his own record. I accept the challenge. He and I were both members of the House of Representatives in 1883. We both were professing to be democrats, and I so sincerely so that no pie coun ter seeking or other incident has changed my views yet. His declara tions and actions mu6t answer for him. During that session House Bill 369, to increase the justices in each township by two came up, and Mr. Page, from Jones county, moved to amend by pro viding that said magistrates be elected by the people of their townships. The present fusion pill peddling Dr. voted no. See Journal page 337 and 388. He then wanted no election of justices in his. Ed. Powers, of Cumberland, moved to amend by providing that in the appointment of the additional jus tices, one should be appointed from i each political party. On the amend ment the present political pill peddler Cy voted no. He then voted for the passage of the bill. So he then want ed them appointed by the General As sembly and not elected by the people ; and further, wanted no mixture of re publicans, fusion or co-operation in his. See Journal pages 338, 339 and 340. Again when the Code came up on its third reading, Mr. Hayes, of Robeson, moved to strike out of the bill section 1091, which provided for the election of county commissioners by the jus tices of the peace, Dr. Cy, the present fusion pill peddler, votes no. See Journal, pages 700 and 701. This sec tion 1091 in the bill is the same as sec tion 716 in the Code as ultimately printed, the number of the sections be ing finally changed by reason of divi ding the Code into two volumes, in stead of b'iing all in one as was the orig nal bill. Upon the question of the final adoption of the Code, with election law anci the system of the county government as they substanti ally in their main features remained till the fusion Legislature of 185)5, Dr. Cy voted aye. Again Dr. Wilcox, of Ashe, had introduced a bill to repeal the system of county government established in 1376-7, and provide for the election in each county by the qualified votes, a treasurer, register of deeds, surveyor five connty commissioners and to each tow nship its justices of the peace and in each school district its school com mittee. This bill of Dr. Wilcox came up on its second reading on the night of Feb. 21, 1883, when it had as spokes men on the floor of the house three ad vocates, viz: Ed. Powers, a liberal from Cumberland, Jim Harris, a ne gro from Wake, and J. W. Poe, a negro from Caswell; and the house was eutei tained with a regular round of school boy eloquence. What a chance for Dr. Cy to have joined in with his later negro comrades and ad ded to their wails of woe, of having been therefore all the time from after reconstruction down to 1876 deprived of the ) ight to vote for county officers and the right to place Eastern Caro lina under negro government. But no! Dr. Cy was silent, and when the vote was taken he voted against this bill of Wilcox's and it failed to pass its second reading, in part by the vote of Dr. Thompson, see Journal page 563. I have now before me both the Journal showing the political pill peddler's vote as I have stated and a copy of Wilcox's bill as printed then by order of the legislature, and if any of Dr. Cy's henchmen deny what I have said of them they can see where and what the truth is by calling on me and inspecting them. Such were some of the votes of Cy Thompson in 1883, and such continue to bo the principles of the democratic party yet; but how about Cy Thomp son? He pharisaically denounces the democrats because Cleveland played the renegade, and deserted the princi ples that he was believed to be pledged to. As a renegade they denounce Cleveland and would have no more of him. If then Cleveland was prop erly denounced as a renegade, how much stronge- denunciation does Cy Thompson deserve, who, while profes sing to believe that the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 is of the primvst Importance, not only goes over with such populists as he can carry and fuses with a party that for some years has persistently claimed to be gold bugs pure and simple and aided them in their elections and the increase of the strength for the future. He censures the democrats for re fusing his grand offer for fusion He and his fusion crowd propose set terms for their contemplated fusion and say that they "'elect a conference commit tee to confer with any party or frac tion of a party who will endorse their principles and proposes and favors co operation." In other words the inter pretation of the whole from their prac tice is that they were ready to trade with anybody that would give them the most places at the pie counter. It could not be hid from the vision of the Dr. that Mark Hanna, Pritchard and their band of millionaires and trust gold"lugs would be the highest bidders on sucn an occasion. And to my mind any party that goos about offering its service- to the highest bid der is not and cannot long be worth much to them with whom they make their contract; for the reason that the masses of all parties who are not like Dr. Cy, hunting pie for themselves, are honest and when they discover the purpose of such will desert them. But this is not all. As I have shown, Dr. Cy in 18 3 voted for the election law in The Code and against the repeal Of the system of county gov ernment then established by law. The pie counter had probably not then en tranced his searching vision and cap tured his heart and conscience and he had not set out to explore the road to it. As chairman of a committee now he proposes fusion or co-operation upon certain conditions, among others "a free ballot and a fair count," which in the light of the fusion election law of 1895, means a free ballot for felons and a full count of them. This was after the pie counter had doubtless burst upon his enraptured vision, and the election law with unhampered chal lenges and an unpacked body of judges would not answer his pie-hunting pur poses and must be changed, and he turns his back upon his record of 1883, and as chairman of the pie-hunting crew he demands the change of the election law in The Code and the sys tem of county government which he had sustained by his vote in 1883, and which protected the people from negro rule, and joins the negroizing crowd he had then opposed, in proposing fu sion so that he might back the court for deciding challenges of felons by fusion, so that the populist and radi cal election officers might be combined in deciding challenges in favor of fel ons, and clear the road for his office hunting, public pie-eating gang. From such demagogues may the honest masses of tax payers of all parties ral ly to the polls and free tne country. M. S. Robins. Asheboro, Sept. 27th, 1898. ' Asheboro Courier.
