THE DAILY FBEE PRESS. Published by THE KINSTON FREE PRESS PUB. CO. Entered at P. O. as second class mall matter. Editor. W. S. HERBERT, Wisconsin and Colorado have suffered millions of dollars damage from forest fires. Sly Thompson says that the present State administration was clean and above reproach. How about Kirby Smith and Bob Han cock, doctor? The present admin istratson is just as clean as a buz zard's nest. The silver Democrats of New York nominated Henry George, son of the single tax advocate, for governor, and endorsed Danforth, the regular nominee, for lieutenant governor. They put out a full State ticket. Mil The effort to have a succession of "Daughters of the Confederacy" to succeed Miss Winnie Davis, is no go. The claim of Miss Hill to that honor is denied from various sources. Lee Camp, C. V., of Virginia, adopted resolutions of protest. The feeling ai;iong the veterans is that the title of ' 4 Daugh ter of the Confederacy" die 1 logi cally with Miss Winnie Davis. Register of Deeds Geo. H. Grif fin, fusionist, of Wilson county, made a sworn statement showing that ex-Sheriff J. W. Crowell, Democrat, owed the county $9,000. This was published in The Cau casian and i.ooo copies of that paper distributed in Wilsori county. Griffin was promptly sued and was forced to testify that he had lied on Crowell. He attempted to get around it by saying that his state ment in The Caucasian was that Crowell owed the money on Dec. 2, 1896. He acknowledged that Crowell didn't owe a cent on the day he made the false statement. And it is by such, quibbles and evasions and nasty stinking lies that the fusionists are trying to bolster up their rascally and in competent rule in North Carolina. Nearly all of Sly Thompson's statements are on the same plan. White men, vote down such cor rupt men! Elect the Democratic ticket! Let's have good white government! A Reply to a Lying Publication. Wilmington Messenger. The wide-awake State democratic com mittee bare issued in newspaper, also in pamphlet form, a fall reply to the budget of falsehoods Bent out by Ayer, ThompJ son & Co., entitled "Hand Book of the People's Party." It is a clear cut, satisfactory replica tion. It shows how the liars lie whole sale and retail; how they are undertaking the dirty work for the black radicals who stand back in the shade enjoying the grand and lofty tumbling of the trough feeders: how the said hand book of the Populists who follow such leaders is a "book" or equivocation and dodging as well as 01 deliberate perversion, evasion and falsehood; how it does not contain any platform whatever of the Populist party, which is very significant as well as suspicious, for it leaves the people they would hoodwink ignorant or forgetful of what the Populists demanded in pre vious party deliverance, and thus opens the way of joining hands with the black radicals,' whose principles antagonize really at every point. It also has no dis cussion or advocacy of any of the dis tinctive hitherto boldly asserted and well understood principles of the Populist party. The reply is a "socdolager." Invaded the Church. Newbern Journal. Even the sanctuary of the Lord, wherv white people worship is not sacred to the negro, and he or she intrude m this place with the same indifference to couf ,tesy and decency, the same disregard to personal rights, as they have upon the public highway. At Asbnry Methodist church a few Sundays ago, while part of the congrega tion had assembled and others were mz sernbling for religious Worship, a negro man and negro woman drove up to the church, pushed their vehicle and animal up to the hitching post nearest to the church, got out, tied their animal and went into church, taking a seat. - The fact of negroes attending public re ligious bervices with white people it not unusual in some places, but this thing has never before occurred at Asbury church. . It is simply another instance of the ne gro forcing his presence upon white peo ple, regardless of place or surroundings. Mercury and Venus. Astronomers generally" now admit that the more- recent studies of the planets Mercury and Venus tend to con firm St-hiapurelli's opinion, advanced soiuo years ago, tliat both of them turn on their axes once whilo revolving about tin sun. This however, is a very diiiieult point to wAUc with certainty, the reason given for this being, and very plausibly, that the evidence rests upon observation of the exceedingly faint marking upon the disks of the plauetri, the f act being that very few as tnmomerii have evo:- ::wn them at all with distinctness, und only those who have made a nntet persistent study of them und are favored with vision espe cially sensitive to such details are- com pet. ut to express an opinion as to their convert lnterpretaticu. It is argued that if. us held by some, the rotation r.iul revolution periods are the same be a corrvvf opinion, then tho climatie eo'ulitio : f tL.; two vilanets must be most mi;.:v;:.','k nr therm ore, our moon always suova the same face to the earth and no knowledge e:-ists of the Iji.iden part, nor have the supposed inhabitants of that concealed hemi sphere ever seen the earth This, how ever, is of no importance to them, as tho earth is not the souree of light, heat and life on the moon All parts of the moon are brought under the sun's influence just as all parts of the earth, though tii j day and night are 14 times as long as on the earth. But how it must be on a planet which has one side only exposed to tho sun, astronomers can give no answer. Exchange. Melbii'M Flrnt Appearance. Mine. Mclba recently gave an inter esting account of her first public ap pearance. "I was quite a young girl ia Australia," she said, "when, notwith standing the persistent discouragement of my father, who was averse to the idea of a singer's career for me, I en gaged a ball und sent round a notice to all my friends. Unfortunately somebody mentioned the little scheme to my fa ther, and he, furious at my clandestine enterprise, begged every one of his ac quaintances to uphold his parental au thority by ignoring the performance. But r wasn't disheartened, and at the hour, announced for the commencement otay concert stepped on to the plat-io0fir-to find myself face to face with an audienoe of two. And nobody else came." For Sheriff. I hereby announce myself an indepen dent Democratic candidate for the office of Sheriff of Lenoir county, and respect fully ask the support of all my friends. If the people will elect me I will serve them to the best of my ability. W. 3. FIELDS. .Electric Fans, Etc. Everything New ajd First-Class. .

Mowers and Rakes COTTON GIN A Hard Pie. That German was a delight, her cook ery was often vile, but she was amus ing. Her first efforts at pastry making were lamentable. "Margarete, what was the matter with the apple tart? The crust was like a stone." "Oh, madam e, I voorked so harrd. I said to myself, 'Now ze harrder I voork ze (bet ter jt will be, ' so I rolled and I rolled, and I used all my strengzt, and now' it is von stone." One morning Margarete bounces into my room and bursts out in an injured voice, "Madame, does our coachman be long to my towel?" At last I discover that she refers to the round towel in the scullery, on which the offender had wiped his hands in passing. Cornhill Magazine. AngeUe Acid. Apropos of adds, there is an. angelic acid, obtained from that faoet graceful of our umbelliferous plants, cultivated in England in the sixteenth century as a pot herb and still used as a candied sweetmeat From this "herb angelick, " or "root of the Holy Ghost, " whose fragrance was reputed good against poi son and pestilence, was also distilled a perfume, charmingly named angel wa ter, affected by the beauties of the sev enteenth century. "I met," says Sed ley, "the prettiest creature in New Springgarden. , Angel water was the worst soent about her. "-Oornhill Magazine. How Bankruptcy Strikes Maori. A Maori chief who lost 40 through a white storekeeper going through the bankruptcy court has given the follow ing lucid-exposition of this particular branch of British jurisprudence: "The Keha (white man) who wants to be- ome pakarapu (insolvent) goes into anesa and ceta lots of roods and, does hopay for them. He then gets all the money he can together, say 2,000, and puts all of it except 5 away where no one can find it With the 5 he.goes to a judge of the court and tells, him he wants to become pakarapu. "The judge tnen calls all the lawyers together, likewise all the men to whom the pakeha owes money, and he says, 'This man is pakarapu, but he wishes tcAgive you all that he has got and so he (has asked me to divide this 5 among you" all. ' The judge thereupon gives the lawyers 4 and the remaining 1 to the tther men. Then the pakeha goes home." London Chronicle. Our Patrons Get Lowest Prices.
