Builer Endorses Judge Avery's Letter.
The Caucasian this week endor
ses the open letter written by ex
Judge Avery. The paper says:
"We publish in this issueastrong
and timely open letter from Judge
Avery. He of course expresses
himself in favor of Anglo-Saxon su
premacy, as everybody does, but he
warns the people not to allow them
selves to be deceived and betrayed
- under cover of this "seductive plea
of white supremacy." He warns
the people not . to let the railroads,
through their organs and certain
set of politicians, to raise the negro
scarecrow to sidetrack the great
economic questions now before the
people. He is in favor of all men
who are for free silver and' for rail
road reforms joining hands to break
the curse of railroad domination and
oppression in North Carolina.
Prof. Meares states that thero

MILITIA CALLED OCT
Come Near Dctng a Race Riot at Kelds
ville Monday. 1
There came very near being a race
riot in Reidsville Monday and Moo
day night.
A special to the Greensboro Tele
gram says: "It appears that Allen,
a colored barber, has foi, several
years refused to pay his taxes unti
his wages weregarnisheedon Satur
day.
Monday the negro stopped Mr.
Lambert h and demanded an expla
nation. Lvmberth told the negro
that he was compelled to resort to
this means of getting the money.
The collector walked away, but
before he had gone far, the negro
called him ugly names and Mr.
Kcatts, who was standing between
Mr Lambeth and the negro, struck
Allen, knocking him down. II
then proceeded to administer severe
punishment.
In the scullle Xeatts was slightly
wounded in the arm with a razor,
by Allen or some other negro; he
was also hit with a beer bottle by
Smith, another negro. At this junc
ture Mr. Lambeth came to the res
cue and pounded Allen with a stick
and also kept the other negroes at
buv.
There were no arrests made dur
ng the day. Allen and several of
his rac? purchased amunition, and
made many ugly threats as to what
would happen during the night.
The white citizens of the city
armed themselvesand were prepared
for an outbreak atany,ime. Twenty
five to fifty members of the military
companies assembled at eith r ar
mory, prepared to respond promptly
f needed.
On one street a cro.vd of negroes,
estimated at two or three hundred,
were congregated . A colored band
was assembled with them.
A few white citizens of the place
and members of the police force
gave them notice that the crowd
must disperse. This request was,
to a certain extent, complied with,
many of them leaving the streets.
but the soldiers remained around
the armories through the night as a
precaution.
Further trouble is anticipated.

send him a copy of the Acts of the

informed him that he could get a
copy of the laws from the register of
deeds of his county.
The magistrate writes back that
the register of deeds refuses to give
him a copy, The J. P. renews his
urgent appeal for a enpy of the laws
and in concluding-his letter to the
Secretary says: "Hope sir, that no
anxiety will be caused, but ask that
you foster me a little assistance. My
time nearly half gone."
When Dr. Thompsoa read the
above extract from the letter tears
came to the eyes of Dr. A De Kalb
Wallace and the chief clerk imme
diately agreed to send the disap
pointed J . P. a copy of the laws.

THAT ENGINE RACE.
A Persistent Fight to Down
ltinson.
ngincer At-
The Pkkss-Visitor has made some
further investigation into the inci
dent referred to a few days ago con
cerning charges which have been
made against an engineer of the
Southern railway to the effect that
he did not make the regular stop at
the crossing near Clary on a certain
afternoon a few weeks ago, while
running in close proximity to the
Seaboard Air-Line. The engineer
in question is Capt. Atkinson, one
of the oldest and most trusted and
careful engineers of the Southern
railway. Capt. Atkinson has been
in the employ of the Southern for
thirteen years and has held the most
responsible positions on the system,
and during all that time has given
the most complete satisfaction. For
several years past he has had the
passenger run between Goldsboro
and (j reensboro and has pulled the
Chattanooga special with engine No.
820, which, with Atkinson at the
throttle, can do the best running of
any engine in the State. There has
never been any racing out of Raleigh
toward Gary, for racing is not al
lowed, but it has so happened that
the two afternoon southbound trains
on tne southern ana seaboard
respectively, have started from
union station close together and
have run side by side and brought
up at the Cary crossing about the
same tune. This happened on the
day in question and it is charged
against Atkinson by the crew on the
Seaboard Air Line train that he
made no stop at the crossing, but
ran his train across without coming
to a stop. The crew on Atkinson's
train on the other hand have made
sworn affidavits, fourteen in num
ber, that the train came to a full
stop, as usual and according to regu
lation. The fact is Atkinson is very
expert in the use of air breaks and
has the advantage of knowmg how
to make a quick stop at given
point. In this way he does not lose
any more time than necessary at
the crossing. All who are posted
about the mtter know that the usual
stop on this particular occasion was
made and that the full duty of the
engineer was complied with and it
appears that a rather hard and un
called for light is being made upon
Atk i nson , vv ho has al ways d ischarged
his duties with satisfaction to his
employees, holding a record of thir
teen years of goad service, and
being rated among the conductors
and trainmen on his road as an en
gineer of the safest judgment, and
the greatest reliability and experi
ence. His recor 1 shows this and to
the outside world it looks like an
unjust and unworthy light is being
waged upon him. If it arises out
of jealousy because of Atkinson's
superiority as an engineer it ought
to be dropped for it will not be held
against him by the railroad author
ities with such a motive behind it.
Furthermore it would seem that men
who belong to noble orders and
brotherhoods could better observe
the principles of their orders by
endeavoring to do a kindness to one
of their fellow members than by
banding in a persecution against
him. This fight on Atkinson has
been going on .for two months, and
if the case could not be proven in
all this time it does seem nothing less
than a persecution to continue it.
He complied with his duty and the
continued crusade against a man of
his standing and merit with a family
to support, does not look very well
to say the least of it. It will not be
countenanced, 'either by the publio
or by those who will be called upon
ti judge the man's case officially.
Awful Fate of Aged Sisters.
By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor.
Lynn, Mass., Sept. 15. Two
maiden sisters, Miss Harriet C
Sheldon, 82 years old, and Miss Ma
tilda Sheldon, 80, formerly school
teachers, were fatally burned at
their home here today. They lived
by themselves and were cooking
with a kerosene stove, when the
latter tipped over and the oil ignited
The blaze communicated to Matilda's
clothes, and Harriet attempted to
extinguish the fire, when her cloth
ing also caught.
The old ladies were infirm, and
they could do little else than scream
for assistance. Both died in a short
time after a neighbor reached! them
The old Pace building on the
Capitol Club's new location was
sold today to J. N. Holding and K.
V. Denton. These gentlemen will
tear the property down at once and
construct tenement houses with the
lumber.
THE UNIVERSITY
Dr Boykin Elected Professor
of History
MET HERE TODAY
Executive Committee Accepted Prof.
Toms' Resignation, but Didn't
Meet Successor VIS Stu
dents EurolleJ.
The executive committee of the
State University met here today in
special session. President Alder
man, of the University, and Secre
tary Battle, of the board of trustees,
were both present at the meeting
which was held in the executive of
fice at the c ipitol.
The resignation of Prof. C. W.
Toms, of the chair of Pedagogics was
tendered and accepted. It was de
cided not to elect a permanent pro
lessor to this chair, but to delay the
matter until a subsequent meeting.
The course in Pedagogics will not
be allowed to lapse, but will be in
charge of Professors Williams and
Smith until some permanent arrange
ment is made.
Prof. Toms resigned to accept the
Superintendancy of the Duke Tobac
co factory in Durham.
Dr. Ernest T. Boykin, Ph. D,, of
Chatham, was elected for the Aca
demic year of 1897-'98 adjunct Pro
fessor of Political Ejonoray and His
tory. Dr. Boykin was a student at
both the University and Trinity
College. He also attended John
Hopkins, and was in Europe fotr
years, pending the degree of Ph. D.
which he received at Halle, one of the
mostcclebrated German Universities
Dr. Boykin also studied at Lepsic
and Brussells. The University
was fortunate to secure Dr. Boykin.
President Alderman and the mem
bers of the committee expressed
themselves as being very much
gratified at the increased attendance
and flourishing condition of the
University.
Prof. Alderman infornvsd a repor
ter of the Phess- Visitor that the to-
total registration to date is 425. Of
this number there are 20b' new stu
dents. The attendance is larger by
100 students than it has been in any
previous year at this period of the
session. It is certain that 100 more
students will enter during the ses
sion and it is likely that the attend
ance will exceed 525. This does not
include the summer school enroll
ment. With that, the attendance will
exceed 700.
The School of Pharmacy, only re
cently established and under the
able management of Prof. E. Vernon
Howell, has met with decided sac
cess. Fifteen students have entered
the class so far.
BRIEFS.
Mr T E Green, the clever baggage
agent at the Union depot, has re
turned from a trip to New York.
Gen W P Roberts, ex-State Audi
tor and unti! recently consul to Vic
toria, arrived in the city today.
Complaint was made to Mayor
Russ this morning of a young man
breaking up a boarding house in the
city. The mayor had the offender
brought before him and he
made him pay the lady who
suffered the loss $7.25, the amount
of the fine be would have imposed
upon him.
The revival meeting at Brooklyn
ncreases in interest nightly. The
congregations are large and the ut
most seriousness pen des. Rev. J.
F. Butt preaches each night and
never fails to make a deep impres
sion by his old-fashioned gospel
talks. Last night there were eight
conversions and two reclamations
and a host of men and women who
came and gave their hands to the
preachers, thereby asking for prayer
in their behalf. There will be
preaching every night this week.
Teeth In His Stomach.
York, Pa., Sept. 13. John R
Eich, a well-known fireman, swal
lowed his set of false teeth on Satur
day night while asleep, and almost
choked to death. Dr. Meisenhelder
worked all night to remove thero
but failed, and the molars are now
in his stomach. Eich does not suffer
any inconvenience.
The entire staff of the city hospital
tried unsuccessfully to get the teeth
out, and it is probable that an ope
ration will have to be performed on
Eich.
Miss Mamie Robbins returned to
the city today.
BUTLER GIVES IT OUT.
Says Gov. Russell Will Make known His
Decision in About a 'leek.
The following paragraph which
appears in the Caucasian today will
be of peculiar interest in view of the
fact that Governor Russell is accred
ited with having secured the ser
vices of Senator Butler in preparing
the decision in the case of the two
Wilsocs:
"Governor Russell has not yet an
nounced his decision as to the pro
posed removftof the two Uailnud
Commissioners. He will probably
render his decision in a week or ten
days. ''
Since the Senator is partly re
sponsible for the decision it is more
than likely that he knows the date
of its appearance.
