For Commissioner of Labor and i Publio Printer. , ; . . To the Editor: There are few men n tbe State who for more than a Quarter of a century have worked more faithfully and effectually for Democracy and White Supremacy . than Col. John T. Britt, editor of tbe Oxford Public Ledger. The hgbt instituted in lo74 hu unyielding ly prosecuted ever since was , made against very great odds. At that time Granville county was one i tbe blackest negro strongholds in tbe State, having a negro majority of bUU to bUU. To overcome this majority and to place that grand old county on the white ist was the labor that the public Ledger applied itself to; and at the, expense Of actual boycotts and threats of personal violence and every conceivable meanness The negro was marshalled to light this Democratic organ all to poor effect be yond the - cutting off . from ' the paper some J0U subscribers-within a few months. , . To the Public Ledger more than to any other factor belongs tbe credit of a county redeemed from negro rule for Granville' county now stands boldly and defiantly where she rightly belongs in tbe Democratic ranks thanks to tbe efforts of John T. Britt. t In recognition of, and as a token of Democratic gratitude, bis nomination and election to the -office of commissioner, of abor and public printer, would be, to put it mildly, a merited compliment, cred itable alike to Colonel Britt and the party he has served so well. Apart from this consideration, he is a practical printer of life long experience, a thorough business ii i an, deservedly pop ular among the editors of the State and the people alike. - ' ; , - J. 1.

C March 24.-Toda.v the State board of charities issued an appeal to the neoole of North Carolina fn behalf of the insane who are now without hos pital care in the State. The facts to which public attention is thus directed have been - definitely ascertained. -In Morganton hospital there were, at last report 783 patients.' The women's de partment is full .with .144 applications up to June 1st, and only seventy two could be admitted., tsj September the rejected number was 108. , There are 445 patients in Goldsboro , hospital., It is 4 " Ski.:.. m n J. V-A 9 .. . a overcrowaea, ana mere are ra patients in the Raleigh hospital. Additions to the building , give room for 440. The superintentendent of . the western . hoe pitai presents reasons, ior believing , that at least 500 insane are now uncared for iu the western district, 300 of whom should be in a hospital , v k. - xne ooara oi cnarities nnas- xnere are 110 whith and 56 colored- insane in the county homes, also 64 white and 88 col ored epileptics, v white and ol colored idiots, while in jails there are 17 white and 8 negroes insane, 11 white and. one negro epileptics, 2 white and 4 negro idiots and in private care 148 white and 38 negro insane44 white and 8 negro epileptics, 42 white and lo negro idiots; total mentally insane, 537 white, 239 colored; grand total i oo, . . , Tbe board says the number represented in private care is very greatly less than the actual truth. , , . , The board urges the . building . of inex pensive cottages at .asylums for ."colo nies" of insane, in a mile or. two of tbe present institutions. , v. . ,,f , r - , The cost of the Raleigh . and Morgan ton hospitals is about $900 a bed and of the Goldsboro hospital f oOO. Tbe aver age throughout - the United States is about $1,200 a bed. Cottages on the colony plan at Morganton cost but $200 a bed, . ," j , The board says: "We do not dwell upon the possibility of being subjected to the lash of a brutal jailor for an uncon scious offense or of penning , and feeding like wild beasts at a so-called home, ' in stances of which . were laid before us,' Humanity snuaaers at tne renection mat such things exist in this State. But the people are entitled to know the whole. The darkest element is contained - in the act that of 108 single women in Mor ganton hospital 27 were debauched and many of these had illegitimate children. Some of these were respectable before being victims." The board urges enlargement at Golds boro and addition of lands for. cottage system at Raleigh. ,,. . The board calls on the governor of tbe State, tbe judicial officers, county boards of visitors, legislators, -, county officials and the press and on every good citizen to aid these unfortunate insane.
