A Colored Kid Drealca Into Several I ptown
Stores.
A little negro boy, endowed with
all the characteristics of a true
African stood before Mayor Buss in

leading stores bn Fayette vllle street.
The darkey1 who is certainly not

swagger suit fcf clothesand a pair of
patent leather shoes of the most re
cent pattern. "This up to date out
fit he was sporting at the expense of
Messrs. Cross and Lineban.
The boy confessed having effected
an entrance in the store of Messrs.
Cross & Linehan on the night of
February second by breaking a win
dow pane in the roar of the store.
He took several suits of clothes.
hich he distributed among his
friends, the hat, shoes and possibly
other articles. The coat the young
ster wore fitted him tolerably well,
but the pants were sufficiently large
for John Patterson. The kid bad the
trousers rolled up several lengths
and whoa Chief Heartt asked him
why he didn't get a pair to fit, he
said, "I jest took de fust I come to."
Sunday a week ago the boy broke
In the rear of Mr J C S Lumsden's

A PROTEST
From Kailwav Employee of Five nrotber
hooda, - Last week a meeting of represen
tatives of five great railway brother
hoods was held at Little Rock. They
represented a great majority of all
the railway employees in the United
States and met to consult about the
interests of that host of men.
The general organizations repre
sented in this meeting were those of
the locomotive engineers, conduc
tors, firemen, trainmen and telegraph
operators.
The most important action of tbe
body was the adoption of resolutions
protesting against the passage of
bills now pending or which may
hereafter be introduced in the differ
ent state legislatures this year to re
duce passenger and freight rates.
The railway employees object to leg
islation of this character on the
ground' that it "would impair the
revenue of the railway companies
and would inevitably result in a re
duction of railway employees. "
This representative meeting was
convinced that general railroad
freight and passenger rates are now
as low as the companies can work
under without reducing tbe pay of
their employes and they vigorously
protest against the arbitrary reduc
tion of rates proposed in some states.
There is reason in what these rep-
resentrtive railroad workers say
and their organized opposition to
further reduction of rates will un
doubtedly have effect in nearly every
state where radical legislation is
now pending.
TO HAVE AN EXHIBIT.
The s. X. L.. to Mako a Novel Display at
Nashville.
The Charlotte Observer of yester
day says:
Mr. John T. Patrick, chief indus
trial agent of the Seaboard Air-Line,
was in tbe city yesterday and met
by appointment at the mayor's office
Mayor Weddlngton, Dr. George W.
Graham, Messrs. Walter Brom, Geo.
Campbell, H. S. Chadwlck, K. S.
Finch, Tillman R. Gaines, D. A.
Tompkins and others.
Mr. Patrick presented a plan of
co-operation between the city and
oounty and the Seaboard Air-Line,
whereby a building can be erected
upon the Tennessee Exposition;
grounds, in Nashville, Tenn., at a
comparatively small cost.
The building is to be a two-story
struoture in the shape of a huge pas
senger car. It will be used as a gen
eral reception, home and headquar
ters for the citizens of Charlotte,
Wilmington and other citios along
the line that take part in tho erection
of the building.
A plan was fully discussed and
each one present agreed that Char
lotte could not afford to be left out of
this scheme.
A committee was appointed to
wait upon the aldermen and county
commissioners, requesting them to
co-operate in this matter.
The State of North Carolina and
all cities in the State ought to take a
deep Interest in the Tennessee Ex
position, for next to that State our
people are interested, Tennessee
being a daugher of the Old North
State.
Wilmiugton and other cities along
the Seaboard Air Line have already
taken the necessary steps to become
interested in the building.

o'clock Saturday night. About one
hundred and fifty persons were up to
meet the prisoner, who several weeks
before was a practicing attorney in
the town. Mr. Graham's friends
greeted him and assured him of their
friendship and tbt they would

NOT A GARDEN SPOT.
Mexico Not What It is Crsckcd I p to
Be.
We have received several copies
of "The Two Republics," a leading
paper published in the City of Mex
ico, which contains letters to lead
ing people all over the United States
in regard to immigration to Mexico
from this country. A cursory glance
over this series of letters would lead
one to suppose that Mexico is not re
garded as the garden spot of the
earth by "The Two Republics," a
paper which owes its maintenance
to English speaking people of Mexi
co, who are largely American, and
which would hardly discourage im
migration to Mexico, unless things
were, so to speak, pretty bad.
We publish below some of the let
ters referred to:
C. W. II., Galesburg, Illinois.
We would not advise you to come
U .Mexico in order to find employ
ment as a printer, for the reason
that you cannot compete in point of
wages with the native craftsmen.
The force of The Two Republic! is
composed exclusively of Mexicans,
whose work, considering that there
is none :f them who understands
English, is very excellent. The
Mexican printers receive thirty-five
cents per thousand ems.
J. H. B., Chicago, 111.
Your letter of inquiry, addressed
to a resident of this city has been
handed to us for attention and reply.
You ask whether, in our opinioB,
it would be advisable "for a young
man on a fair salary in the United
States" to give up his position in
order to come to Mexico and try to
do better here. If he be wise he
will do nothing of tho kind. Let
him hold on to his job as long as he
can, and never give it upon an un
certainty. It is those young men
who are out of employment, without
any prospect of acquiring any, and
who have at their command sufficient
money to keep them going down
here for a time, to whom we are
saying: "Come to Mexico. "
SHIS., Albuquerque, N. M.
You do not need to beg our indul
gence for seeming to treat us "as a
bureau of information." That is
what we are here for, and your
friend was quite right in referring
you to us.
You state that you are a graduate
of the university of Michigan, 25
years of age. and can find no work
in Albuquerque, and that what few
dollars you have are going fast.
You desire to come to this country,
if the chances are favorable.
Without money, we would not ad
vise you to como down here, but if
you have enough to run you Jong
for a time, and will sail close to the
wind, we think that your chances
are better here than they are in
New Mexico, especially since you
have some knowledge of Spanish,
and ' have always succeeded in
everything" you have under-taken.
We need good, live, hustling yoUng
Americans down in this country.
E, E. Santa Fe., New Mexico.
You desire to know the prospects
in this country for a young man
(American) who can speak the Span
ish language fluently, and who has
had experience in nearly all branches
of mercantile business. You state
that you would like to come to Mex
ico, and ask as to the prospects of
securing employment as clerk in
some mercantile establishment.
If you have a secure and fairly lu
crative position in Santa Fe, we cer
tainly would notadvise you to throw
it up in order to come to this coun
try, especially with the view to
securing employment in a clerical
capacity. If you are out of em
ployment and see no prospect
of soon procuring work, and
have sufficient money to enable
you to defray your expenses here
until you can find an opening of some
kind, we thinkjthat, your knowledge
of Spanish, it would not be long be
fore you found employment. It is
necessary, however, to hustle here
quite as much as it is in the States.
Silver dollars are not laying around
loose in the streets and fortunes,
even in the newspaper business, are
not made in a day.
We send you a bock number of
The Two Republics, from which you
can get a pretty fair idea of the
wages paid here If you decide to
advertise, you cannot find a better
medium than the "Want Column" of
the The Two Republics.
Mr. R A. Dodd, the well known
horseman from Kentucky, arrived
here today and will sell a car load
of fine Kentucky mules at Auction at
Stronach's Wednesday, the 10th, at
11 a m, rain or shine. Here is an op
portunity to buy fine mules at your
price.
CHEATED THE GALLOWS
Calvin ingum, Who Was Sentenced to
f flanged. Died in Oxford Jail.
T?gallows waj cheated out of a
fit (jbject Saturday. Calvin Man-
i, of Oxford, colored, who was
jtenced to be hanged January
Jlh, died in the jail in Oxford Sat
ford Saturday.
Calvin Mangum, assisted by two
negroes named Tanner, and by old
man Wilson's two daughters, killed
Nathan Wilson and buried his body
in a mud hole in the front yard.
Over the grave tbe murderers made
a flower bed and but for the fact that
Wilson's little son gave the crime
away it would probably never have
been discovered
At tbe last terra of court in (jran
ville county all five of the negroes
pleaded not guilty and went to trial.
The jury "hung" and the attorneys
for four of the defendants entered a
plea of guilty of manslaughter and
they were sent to the penitentiary
for terms ranging from ten to twen
ty-five years.
Calvin Mangum still held that he
was innocent of the crime and the
jury returned a verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree and he
was sentenced to be handed on Jan
uary 29th, last. He appealed to the
Supreme court, not with the hope of
getting a new trial, but only hoping
to lengthen his days on earth, as the
higher court would not reach that
district until some time in March.
It was expected that the Supreme
court would affirm the decision of
the lower court and that Governor
Russell would resentence him to
be hanged some time ia April or
May.

The Pride of Durham.
A gentleman who has traveled
much and who knows what a first
class hotel is remarked to the Press
Visitor a day or two ago that it was
worth while to spend a day in Dur
ham just for the pleasure of stopping
at the Carrolina Hotel He declared
it one of the best equipped and furn
ished and one of the best managed
hotels to be found in the South. It
is indeed a fact that the Carrolina is
a credit to Durham and the whole
State. Few hotels in the country
are more attractive. The finish is
superb, especially on the interior
and the furniture is of the most
modern and elegant Of manager
Cobb it must be said that what be
does not know about conducting a
first class and up-to-date hotel is not
known in hotel business and it is
always a pleasure to stop at -bis
sumptuous hostelry.
