violated the Statu law. In the in

with, riot a witness claimed that he
was positively refused onlj re

nitthods of colonizing negroes wcro
strikingly developed, and show to
the people of the SStitte the evils
against which many communities
had to contend under the fusion
registration laws of ly.'.l and 1 897.
Under these fusion laws all these
negroes would have been entered
on the list and no one could say nay.
The present law was framed special

box, and the registrars are serving
the best interests of the tate in re

Cotton Milling in the South.
Tho industrial trmwtli f t'
South is truly wotnlorful. Tho
Southern people themselves cun
hnrdly comprehend it. In the
past ten .years iiiiinufacturiiijr
establishments have multiplied
sorupidly in States long dormant
that, the figures actually tax
credulity.
At no time has the industrial
activity in the South been greater
than it is right now, and in no
State of the South, tierliaps, is it
as great as right here in .Noi'tl
Carolina. More mills are tx'in
built in the South now than at any
time m tier history, and in it i i II-
buihling the name of North Cum
Una leads all the rest.
The American Cotton a'xl Wool
lieiMiiter, presenting; its semi-
imiiu.il statement of mill con
struction, says ;
"As has boon customary of re
cent years, the South has led th
North heavily in the matter of
new mill construction. Of tlx
ii"7 mills rejMirted for the tirst
lialf of I1NKI, 1(1,1 were Northern
and L'OL.' Southern.- The biggest
record was made bvNoith Cam
liua, with .17 new mills, of which
17 were cotton and in knit goods
1 1 1 1 ' I s . South Carolina came next
with .iO mills, ii or wlucli were
cotton, (icorgia showed 4-, of
which o.l werecotton. Next came
I'oiinsylvnnia, wilh new mills,
of which (i were cotton. Fifth on
the list was Massachusetts, with
"2 mills, of which ." were cotton,
1(1 wool, 'J knit goods and .1 mis
cellaneous. It should is1 aoiieti
that enlargements aud improve
ments of existing mills have been
on nn extensive scale, the ma
chine shops being so busy that
mills have Is-en obliged to wait
six and eight mouths to get their
orders til led. "
The first, half of l'.Mi, the He-
porter goes on to sav, has broken
all records in the muiils-r of new
and proKsed mills in the I'nited
Suites. Since January 1, I!',
the construction of oi'7 mills has
been entered on. This is an in
(reuse or n over the Iilimher re-
tHirted for the last half of l'.Ul,
and an increase of h over the
number rejxirted for the entire
twelve mouths ended last Decent -1st.
As usual, the great increase
in the number of new textile
mills has lccn principally among
the cotton mills, l'Jt out of the
!o7 under way since January 1,

xtraordinary character of the
movement to erect cotton nulls in

Tbe Chinese Language.
John Wesley is credited with say
ing that the Chinese language was
an invention of the devil to keep
the missionaries out of China. Their
standard dictiotiery which is the
work of the Kmperor, Kang Hi, con
tains 4 4, 7u different characters, and
it is said that among the old debt is
of the language there are at least
50,000 more. A great masa of the
iharacters are archaic and absolute
forms, and if a foreigner is able to
master 7,000 of them be will have
fair walking knowledge of tho
Chinese language.

.trents:
From icporls received by this Of

Olliccrs such as County Ileenrder
I Registers, Clerks, or ot tiers, charged
with the cfhrial recording of Con
veyances, Mortgages, and likoinstru
tncnta affecting tho ownership of
property, have omitted to note upon
'lie JJecord of such Instruments
made since July 1st, 1H!H, whether
the original Instrument was stamp
ed as rritiired by the Namp Act
and the amount of the stamp.
In some 'reorders (.flieea hnn
I reds of such records have been
found which have occasioned invua
ligations and the writing of a large
number of letters, only to have the
fact developed in a large majority
of cases, lint the original I nstrument

To such iniiiiiru s this Xhco has re
lied that the Internal Uevenne laws
impeso no penalty for such ncgli-
gei.ee, other than to declare I hit the
defective n coid slntll not Imj used

The fact that I he record is disonal
itied for use in any court proceed

importance in every community
is niiit-trating too cited npn

of this kind, it is only necessary to

such t tlicial records The attract
er finding no indication that the con
veyance or mortgage had !eon
stamped, could not conscientiously
certify to tho title as being valid in
the grantee or mortgagee.
1 lie proper remedy for such onus
sums by Kecording oniccrs would
seem to Im that publicity be given
to tho fact generally, in their acv-
eral communities, by Internal Keve
duo othcers and by publication, that
property rights are being jeopard
ized by tho negligence of such ofli-
ers. It is ol course to bo under
stood that the defective record docs
not invalidate the original instru-
mont, if it is properly stamped. The
loss of the original instrument might
in Mich case cause trouble.

OLD INDIAN TOMB FOUND,
Mummified Bodies Found in a Lone
Island Cave.
Workmen digging in Img Island
City have made a peculiar find.
?hey broke through what appears
to be a tomb used by an Indian fam-
ly, or possibly the burial place of
some tribo. r ive bodiea were found
in the cave and one of the strangest
features of the discovery is that all
the bodies appear to be either et-
rined or ritummitied. Jo the cen
tre of the vault is a stone colli n and
it is a body, naked save for a
breech cloth, and it ia at least seven
feet in height. One leg ia drawn
p while tho other is out straight.
addition to the bodies, two of
which appear to be those of children,
there are several skulls. Everything
was covered with dm; and sand, and
the effect of the find was, to say the
least, startling to the Italians. They
id not waste time in looking at the
show; they made themselves scarce
with remarkable speed. The inte
rior of the cave is twelve foot high,
twenty feet at its widest part aud
tit teen feet from the front to the
rear, being inclined to a semi circu
lar form. u a pedestal ia what ap
pears to be a pair of human teet
turned to stone with two skulls sit
ting side by side on another stone.
Theodore Roosevelt says he will
resign if elected Vico-I'resident to

Negro Rule.
There is not a fair minded, truth
fill white republican in all North
Carolina who docs not know that
negro rule in this state has proved a
curse from the start and has been
both hurtful and destrnctivo.It
has cursed the eastern and aoine of
the middlo counties dreadfully, and
even the west has lieon made to
snller. Those of the republicans
who have written concerning their
purpe to support the proponed
suffrage amendment, have referred
to the harm done to their own party
by negro control and negro ballots.
Yi lierovcr negro rule ia introduced
it hurra. It matters not whether it
is the congress or in national affair
or in state matters, or in local and
connty, business and polities the
rule of the negro is one ol bale and
sorrow. You may shot oat yellow
jack or stamp out tint noxious dis
ease small pox even among the ne
groes, if jt shall take a do.r-n years
to do it, but you cannot bum out,
stamp out or onarantino negro rule
so long as there are base, trading
white men to nse them and marshal
them, and drill tlicrn, and tho ballots
their, to lie cant always according to
tho order of" the white ingrates and
plottors. The way to cure negro
domination ia not to let them domi
nato. The only euro of political
small pox among the negroes is to
isolate them from the whites, and lo
shut np tho ballot and shut up the
frauds. I. lack supremacy is not
healthful for any laud, much less for
southern civilization. It ia now a
iinestion of White Rule or Negro
utile. It is a ouestion of tho reign
of law or the reign of tho lawless
blacks. The proposed amendment
would put a ijiiietus upon many a
rowdy and many an aggressive
tramp. It will work for the good
of all, for both parties, for all races,
for the welfare of North Carolina.
There is no doubt ot that. It is i
movement in behalf of good
government, of law and peace and
prosperity, for larger educational
advantages, lor an educated elector
ate.
It will go hard with the tricksters
who have for thirty years fattened
upon official garbage and who feel
that their cry now is "Giveine the
nigger as a anporter or 1 die
rust they tried to get ignorant,
poor white men disfranchised, mit
that wonld not work under the
amendment. Now they are crying
out that it is unconstitutional, and
such small potatoes in law as Jeter
and Marion are stiring np their
pnny brains in an effort to prove it.
The negroes have never voted
wisely or patriotically. They have
voted against tho interests ot the
state and their own interest, but
they were so stupid they did not
now it, could not soo it. lhoy
will never be wiser nntil they get
more sense. N long as they are toe
olitical hirelings and serfa of do
signing, selfish, dangerous whites
they will continue in their old
courses, and the old trouble win
continue. If yon are a white man
show it by your acts, by your asso
ciates. ote like a white man.

Train Robbers Get $12,000.
Tiie Illinois Central fast train
from New Orlean to Chicago, was
held op and robbed of f 12,Oo() early
edncsday morntng near V ickhffe,
ventneky.
I lie robtiers, six in number, cut
off the engine and express car and
ran a mile and a half to rort Jeher-
son, near the Ohio river, and within
sight of the Missouri shore. There
they blew open the express safe, te
cured all valuable it contained and
rossed into Missouri.
A n armed posse of forty men and
two seta of bloodhounds hunted all
day for the robbers. A bag of
money, about seven hundred dollars,
was found on tho Missouri aide
where four of the gang landed from
kiU. The others kept on down
the river into Arkansas. The rob-
Iters were very drunk when they
robbed the tiain and longht over the
wag, leaving a bag of eleven
hundred dollars they dropped in the
tight among themselves. It was
found by the conductor. Another
ponch of two hundred dollar waa
found id the river where they took
to the boat.

advise William to economize, al he
has only eight more months in which
to draw the snug little rate of fifty

An honest eltott has neen maoc
by the wople of the south to sec-
how the experiment would work
It has been fraught with evil, and
only evil, and it is now a grave
problem with which the southern
people have had to grapple aud are
grappling, r irst this question came
home to our friends of the Pacific
elope when the Chinese were about
to oveirnn the western part of the
I'nited States, and the Chiucso ex
elusion act became a necessity. The
question of suffrage has been
brought to the attention of the
American txople by the recent dis
cussions in congress in regard to the
right of suffrage in the Hawaiian
islands and in the other territory
recently acquired by the I'nited
State. From all this discussion and
thought there ha arisen a new
north, which sympathize with the
southern people in solving this great
problem.
It ia absolutely necessary, in the
opinion of the great majority of
thinking men of the southern states,
that the ignorant and illiterate negro
should be eliminated from tbe elec
torate. (traded enfranchisement
may take place, and to this no rea
sonable man ought to object, but
wholesale enfranchisement of the
negro race waa admittedly a great
political error, and makes it nec
sary for the southern atatcs to do
everything within their power, with
out violating the 15th amendment,
to disfranchise the negro. Ashe

Before Llftlnf the Veil.
A dispatch of July 12th from
London says ; The (Shanghai cor
respondent of t!:e Kxprosa gives the
text of a long edict of PrincejTnan,
dated June r.'th, and addressed to
the Chinese Ambassadors, which the
hxpresa declares is identical with
the meseago from Emperor Kwang
llso, mentioned by the Minnghai
correspondent of the Daily Mail and
with the Chinese edict published in
ashington. 1 he Lx press consid
ers that edict proves that Prince
Tnan's party is making an attempt
to disguise the fact that the worst
that could lie anticipated has hap
pened.
llio edict contains the following
paragraph ;
"Ihe anger of our people knew
no hounds. They could not bo ie
strained. Tho task of guardinir the
Legation, which before was ditti-
eiilr, was made impossible."
hlsewfiere referring to the debire
to protect the Legations still un
harmed, it says :
II it is impossible for us to con
tinue this protection let it be repre
sented to tho powers that we must
be held blameless for the anger of
our people grows with the rising of
each sun that sees nu.re and yet more
foreigners and soldiers coming to
overrun and lay watc our "onntrv
ani slay our people."'
1 he correspondent say the edict
is intended to pave the way for a
final litiing of the veil over the re
cent history of Pekin.
It is bi-voml iiiiettion n admission
tha' the six'een hundred foreigners
Americans, (uritians, Kngliah,
Jcr, in Pekin -men, women and
children, have been horribly ninr-
lered and mutilated by the Chinese
1mtoi and soldiers.

" Threats of Blood and Torch. i
I
! Salisbury has had a taste already
of high handed meanness in trying
to have every scab of non resident
negro to register and tote against
tho interest of the State and to the
danger of our.homes and all that is
sacred and lovely therein.
Ti.e Truth-Index says thai one of
this class, a new comer from South
Carolina, applied last woek to Reg
istrar 1. il. anderford aud w on
to his being a .resident of that par
ticular ward. lie was registered
though a stranger. It was learned
that he did not belong to that ward
at all.
Then on the advice of some ono
he attempted to get a transfer. Mr.
anderford refused to give the per
jurer tlie certificate whereupon
Capt. John A. Kamsey threatened
Mr. anderford with prosecution
for violation of tho l.Mh amend
ment to the constitution. The im
ported rabble of, negroc became
boieteroti and threatened that they
would vote if tfiey had to wado
through blood to tho polls. It is
said to the credit of the native ne
groes, however, that they did not
join in this mieconduct. Coneoid
