LISTEN SHERIFF HOSKINS I
Will You dive the Information Asked
for Below ?
h. t. white, colored, handed us the
louowing, signed by himself, and
aseked us to publish the same. It is
&n open letter to Sheriff J. A. Hos
kins, the present incumbent and repub
lican candidate for re-election :
To Hon. J. A. Hoskins. sheriff of Guil
ford County, N. C.
Dear Sir : The fatal die has been cast
and your name has again gone before
the people of the good county of Guil
ford for the highest office in the coun
ty This office, financially, is very de
sirable to a hungry office-seeker, to
say nothing of iti social influence. So
noy, sheriff, as the day of election is
drawing so nigh, and the army of op
position is thick and strong, as a citi
zen of the county who has always tried
to do my politicaj duty, I think I have
a right to have a few very important
queries satisfactorily answered, both
for my benefit as well as many other
good citizens of our county.
You will doubtless remember, dear
sheriff, that early in March la9t an
humble and unpretentious citizen of
your town and county made applica
tion to you for the simple position of
tax collector, but I am sorry to say that
qui4 beloved sheriff not only failed to re
cognize my application but had me to
understand that he had placed all
places under his administration so far
as the colored members of his party
were concerned, under the strict civil
service rules, and gave me as a test of
my efficiency a trial in spelling the
word "Mississippi" and running right
off.
I failed to spell the word, not be
cause of ignorance of ereoeraphv but
because I always considered it non
sense to shake fodder after a run
away hor9e. I think I could have if
he would have stood long enough to
listen. But I guess our sheriff didn't
care to listen.
In my communication to His High
ness, 1 asked him if the ofhee was un
der civil service rule and as he did
not answer me then, it will perhaps be
well for him to answer now, as many
others are now asking this same ques
tion, and if he does not answer the of
fice of sheriff of this county may go
under civil service rules and then the
day of "Retribution" of which I
warned him at the time will truly have
come and woe to the illustrious
sheriff.
Our sheriff will please recall to
mind the card "of H. T. White of Oct.
15tht189T. If it has been lost or for
gotten I can refresh his mind. We
are republicans of course, but we are
acting on Longfellows advice:
In the world's broad field of battle,
Ih the bivouac of life,
Be!not like dumb, driven cattle
Be a hero in the strife.
Men who want our vote must remem
ber us longer than up to election day
We have been tools in men's hands
long enough to be used to elevate them
to position and power, to then be for
gotten till needed again. Yes, sir,
Sheriff, that kind of business is be
coming a thing of the past. Of this be
you assured.
Is the office under civil service? I
earnestly hope our dear sheriff will
satisfactorily explain this matter so
we can get it out of the way at once or
it will no doubt be necessary to refer
to this matter again, because the peo
ple are demanding an answer and must
be answered.
For the present I remain your hum
ble subject, H. T. White.
Greensboro, N. C., Oct 4, 1898.
FEDERAL COURT OPENS.
Judge Hamilton Q. Ewart Is On the
Bench.
Federal court opened in the county
court house in this city this morning
at 10 o'clock, his Honor Judge Ham
ilton G. Ewart on the bench. This is
Judge Ewart's first court in the capac
ity of federal court judge and it is,
perhaps, a little more awkward to him
than it will be by and by.
His Honor's charge to the grand ju
ry occupied twenty-nve minutes and
was read from manuscript. It may be
more impressive when the judge learns
it by heart so that he can tell it to the
jury without the use of his manuscript.
Though brief, it was quite thorough
and covered -the ground from the sell
ing of a one-cent stamp below the reg
ular price to operating a "moonshine"
still in the woods.
The attendance upon this term of
court is, perhaps, larger thau '.he last
term, yet there are no very important
cases to be tried, mostly for retailing,
we are informed. Wilkes and Stokes
counties are well represented, as usu
al, a large delegation from ctokes ar
riving on the noon C. r . & Y. V.
train.

Oct. 4, '98. (
The regular monthly meeting of the
board of aldermen was held last night
in the mayors office. After setting
aside a few complaints other business
was transacted as follows:
Resolved that the cemetery commit
tee be instructed to instruct the keeper
of the cemetery not to allow any per
son to bury in any of the reserved
lots without they pay for same.
The street committee was directed to
prosecute the work on the sidewalks
with greater vigor and if the owners
of the property will not do the work
within thirty days after notice, the
street overseer be directed to have the
work done in good 6hape amd tax the
owner with the cost.
The use of Ben act dirt was disap
proved by the board for sidewalks as
it is not fit for such purposes.
The board was instructed to request
the citizens to plant trees and shrub-
ery in the cemetery and to beautify it
in every way possible. There was
some other business transacted though
of no importance to the public.
The new guard house will be
launched within a few days. We have
not heard yet who will christen it, but
it will doubtless be christened by the
first person incarcerated in her tombs.
We trust, however, that there will be
no Bradley Richardson dispute over
the christening of this structure.
Don't think because you see a fence
around Jarrell's hotel office that there
are any cattle inside if they do call it
the Slaughter house. Fresh paint is
the trouble.

silent crowd thronged the Cumberland
street wharf today watching the divers
searching for the body of James Lau
dry, who accidentally fell from a boat
which was drawn under the wharf
where the tide rose and drowned him
beforethe rescuers could reach him.
All manner of efforts were tried to
reach the unfortunate man while he
called out to the party and urged them
to hurry as the tide was crawline- un.
His father stood on the wharf and
called to him to "Hold on." The
divers made faithful efforts to reach
him but failed to find him and the tide
kept n rising and finally engulfed
and drowned him. ,
THE NEW JUDGE.
A Swap of Offices The New Candi
date for Solicitor.
The following appointments were
yesterday made and commissions for
tfcem were issued by the Governor:
William P. Bynum, Jr., of Greens
boro, judge superior court for the
Fifth Judicial district, vice Spencer
B. Adams, resigned.
Williair D. Merritt, of Roxboro,
solicitor of the Fifth Judicial district,
vice W. P. Bynum, Jr., resigned.
These appointments also mean that
there will be a corresponding change
in the fusion ticket in the Fifth dis
trict. Merritt, who was nominated
for judge, will become the candidate
for solicitor and Bynum, who was
nominated for solicitor, will be the
candidate for judge.
This chaDge has been in contempla
tion for some time. It was discussed
at the meeting of the fusion conference
committee more than a week aero, but
nothing was done. Sunday Mr. Mer
ritt came here to consult with Holton
and Thompson and the Governor
the powers that put up and take down
candidates at"will. He told them that
he and Mr. Bynum had aerreed. pro
vided it met with their royal high
ness to swap places. Holton said
swap and swap they did.
Mr. Bynum arrived here on the
mor ning train, in company with Mr.
Holton. They went at once to repub
lican headquarters at the Park Hotel.
There Mr. Merritt joined them and the
three proceeded to the capitol where
Mr. Bynum wrote out his resignation
as solicitor and the new commissions
were made but.
This matter has been in contempla
tion for some time, but hung fire for
the following reason:
It first came up on the question of
e ppointment of a -successor to Judge
Adams. Adams asked the appoint
ment of Merritt, the candidate for the
place. He thought this would
strengthen his own candidacy for con
gress, Merritt being a populist and
the populists being the uncertain quan
tity. The governor, however remember
ing that Holden once made a very big
blunder in appointing him (Russell)
judge at a very tender age, objected
to Merritt on account of his youth and
inexperience. Finally he declared he
would not appoint him.
It was then that Merritt and Bynum
agreed, since Merritt couldn't be ap
pointed judge, to swap places on the
tioket. The bargain was completed
yesterday when they got their commis
sions. Mr. Bynum left on the after
noon train for Bladen county, where
qe begins a term of court today. Mr.
Merritt went to Durham to attend his
first court this week as solicitor.
William P. Bynum, Jr., the new
judge, is a son of Judge W. P. By
num. He was born Aue-ust 1. 1861. in
McDowell county. Four years later
his parents moved to Stokes county.
In 1881, young Bynum graduated from
Trinity College. A year later he grad
uated from Dick and Dillard's law
school, at Greensboro, and received
his license. He was sworn in at Char
lotte in February, by Judge MacRae.
Immediately he began the practice of
his profession in partnership with
Judge Bynum, at Charlotte. Three,
years later he moved to Greensboro
and has ever since been a resident of
that place. In 1894 he was elected so
licitor for the Fifth Judicial district.
The new solicitor, Mr. William D.
Merritt, is 26 years old, the son of Dr.
William Merritt. of Person countv.
He has been practicing law five years
and has in that time built up a suc
cessful business. News & Observer. I
