A Layman's View
By One Who Is Not a Lawyer
or Preacher and Does Not
Own a Railroad "
T the Editor of The Post:
I have, with great pleasure, read the
tirades of Mr. Page and "Lawyer,"
:u,4 am glad to have the opportunity of
n.yln? that the sentiments expressed
ths? gentlemen find a hearty eu
n'tizens all Aver the State. I was es
tlorsement by a large number of
Kcialiy struck with "Lawyer's" allu
sions 'to that period of silence observed
l.y Judge Clark until he was,, assured
of the permanency' of Democratic suc
'?s. and then to the tide of dissenting
opinions to which ho gave utterance.
All of which goes to show that the
.imke was looking to popularity first,
:nd allowing Justice toJe debauched,
that he might ride the great wave of en
mity against corporations that has
Mv.'t over our State. To accomplish
this he has allowed nothing to stand
l'twoen him and his object.
I am writing this for the express pur-I'tr-e
of calling attention 'to one act of
iii that will forever stand as A bar to
his political aspirations. I suppose I
will be charged with bringing re.igion
into politics, and if so, I must plead
L-uilty. A religion that can not be car
ried into politics or anywhere that duty
calls, is a mighty poor article and will
rot to live dr die with. On the
other - hand, if the great Democratic
party iu North Carolina has allowed
he- political nest to become so foul that
ir will soil the religion of its followers
ir is high time to begin the use Of
disinfectants and other cleansing agen
cies.
The matter of which I desire to write
is so fresh in the minds of thereading
public in North Carolint that I need
not go into details. I refer to Judge
Clark's war upon a great educational
institution belonging to that church,
whose obligations he voluntarily and
salemnly assumed in the sight of God;
and whose interests he vowed to pro
tect. WhatSrougut" about this fight?
That same insane desire for popular
favor that has been the characteristic
of. his entire strife against corporations.
Iu looking over the State we find a
very large body of 'those who are more
nr less affected by the operations of the
American Tobacco Company. Judge
Clark looked upon 'these people and to
make himself solid with, them he at
or.ee began a fight against the tobacco
irust; finding this beyond hia reach he
turned his efforts against the Dukes.
But here again he founC armor he cot Id
not penetrate, and at this juncture
showed to what lengths he was pre
pared to go, by betraying a sacred
trusr accepted by him, from his churcn.
For this act he stands before his
"ithren a traitor, ready to stab any
sad every interest of church ' or stats
individual that may stand between
Ju and hi3 real. Judge Clark's most
irdent admirer or warmest apologist
Jif$ never offered a single reason for
n''-? unholy warfare, except that Trin-
ny College .had been ther recipient of
;arr'e benefactions from the Duke fami
,y. w:i0 part oers th American
j' scco Company.

claims I to. have lived in Wilson for a,
number of years. He has been painting
for some time her in Goldsboro. lie
was - nhintinsr tne town red yesterday i
when he got into trouble.
Mattie Pettiford, a young woman; of
African persuasion, was also up before
his honor Mayor nood this morning. It
seems that the change in Matties
purse .had begun to get scarqf
and -she attempted to replenish it by
the addition of . a $20 note. Mattie
chanced to be standing on the sidewalk
in front o the saloon of Mr. J. W.
Edwaras in John street last night when
the clerk, Mr. Rig Best, stepped into
the back room for a moment. Mattie
was watching for. the chance and she
glided noiselessly- into the saloon and
behind the' counter and took a $20
note from the money drawer. When
Mr.' Best missed the money somejtime
after,, suspicion fell on Mattie, and
when arrested in a short while by Of
ficer Fulghum she had . $17 of --e
money, which was restored to its own
er. At the trial the evidence went
against the. female thief .and the mayor
was compelled to Bend her to jail be
cause she could not give the Teauired
bond .
Two Goldsboro young men have gone
into a new business venture and have
gone to Charleston to get their first ex
perience. Mr. John. E. Hage, son 0i
Mr. F. J. Hage. Sr., and Mr. Alvin
Schwab, son of - Mr. Nathan Schwab.

this city, have purchased a -new and

three of its kind in America, and a di
rect importation from Germany, cost
ing $500, and are off today with their
new invention for Charleston, S. C,
where thev will make pictures "while
you wait." for the throng of visitors
at the exposition in that city.
Reaping the Harvest, which played in
the Messenger Opera House last night
was without doubt the best attraction
that haa been here this season and drew
one of tho largest audiences audiences

A FAMILY AFFAIR..
"I raised a family on Dr. Harter's Iron
Tonio ' is a common expression in letters
to Dr. Harter. It is very true that this
famous remedy does appeal to the family;
It is ft common Bense, everyday help not
a patent medicine. There is no secret about
it. Iron has been need to purify and
strengthen the blood ever since medicine
became a science. Jn tne nan-century oij
its existence Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic has
firmly established itself as an ideal family
remedy. It is good for the baby, good for
the young folks, and good for adults. There
comes to all of theseregularly, not necessar

to be purified and strengthened; thinking,
eensible people take Dr. Barter's Iron Tonic
at such times to prevent sickness. Keep the

and womanhood . the system requires an

Government Gain from Money
(Boston Daily Advertiser.)
One of the most remarkable things in
connection with the Postof fice Depart
ment is the fact that evary year hun
dreds of drawn money orders ai'e not
paid. Those to whom they are made
Iiayable for one reason or another fail to
present themselves at the paying office,
fnd as a result the money reverts to the
Government, after one year has elapsed
Last year the department realized near-
y $o00,000 from this source.
