THE PUBLIC LEDGER. By JOHN T. BRITT, ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY MORNING OXFOKD, N.C., JULY 20. lSW. The National Congress of Moth- "SIT 111 Vioron ffpr admit men to cia in uvi." membership. As a kind of Pops let us hope they won't hold many ideas of the Peffer brand. Out in Illinois a young man re fused to marry the young woman with whom he had been "keeping company" for several mouths, and they fought a duel over the matter, and both will probably die. The Marshalltown, Iowa, preach ers who have been preaching to the inmates of the State institutions have struck for $5 a sermon, instead of Stt. the old price. The Governor - - i says rather than pay it he the preaching himself. will do President McKinley is credited with putting in his spa.e time on a plan to submit the tpiestion of an nexation to a vote of the people of Cuba. He is himself heartily in favor of annexation, and has, it is said, inside information to the etlect that a large majority of the inhabi tants of the island would favor such a anlntirm nt what will otherwise be a long and yexatious problem. Out in Ann Arbor. Mich., an anti- divorce trust has been discovered lw t.l.c. at.temnt ot two people, one j r- of whom had previously been di vorced, to get marrried. One minister after another refused to perform the ceremonv and it was learned that the Methodist, Baptist, Congre tratinnal. Presbvterian, Trinity Ln- n 1 j ' - theran and Church of Christ clergy men of the city had entered into an agreement not to marry a divorced person except in cases where the ap plicant is the unoffending party and has been granted a divorce on scriptural grounds. No one has yet suggested that Ex-Senator Ingalls' dictum that "purity in politics is an iridescent dream" has aught to do with his re cently announced determination to re-enter that Held of activity, and the belief is general that his chances for success are good. He will try to break in as the Republican can didate for Congress from the First district of Kansas a Senatorship being out of the question and, of course, there is promise of a light in which the former Senator's orator ical yenom is expected to cut a tigure and liven up the quiet corners in the back counties. sdale property owner. As the culprit was not the agent of the London, it is, of course, not in any way liable for the return premium. The victim is fortunate in not being a loss cliamaut. The new insurance law of North Carolina requires every agent to hold a certificate from the insurance com missioner and to produce it upon demand. Persons when placing their insurance should see to it that they deal only with reputable lirms and there would then be no danger of being victimized as the merchant in Woodsdale was. Some property owners under the impression that they are obtaining cheap insurance, will accept policies from brokers in other cities. Con tracts under such policies cannot be enforced in any North Carolina court and the state is defrauded of its proper tax under them. on premiums pan THE TRUSTS CAPTURING WARE MOUSES. it is to be earnestly hoped that the tobacco warehouse monster called a trust, that has invaded North Caro lina from Virginia, will have its tail cut off short at the roots, and very early, says Wilmington Messenger. It many arouse the farmers more than ever to the real character of this foul conspiracy against them the infamous, diabolical tobacco trust, and all the other '"nfamies branded as trusts. The plan of this new enemy is to control the markets of North Carolnna, and thereby of of course control the prices of gold leaf tobacco, especially of the better grades. A Iready the farmers of North Carolina have had to pay tribute to the rescally Duke cigarette trust to the extent of some millions of dol lars. The precise sum cannot be ascertained. But two years ago a very intelligent gentleman of the Piedmont section told us that $1, 500,000 had been lost to the farmers of that line section by the Duke Cigarette trust. What has been lost since and what the dozens of counties not included in that section have lost by the yile robber and oppressor may swell the lossthe tribute paid to $:J,000,000. This is the money lost by the trust for cing down prices to its own greedy demands. It is easy to build colleges and endow schools when immense fortunes are made so easily and the expense of the people. A CHRISTIAN NATION." A breezy journal is the Nebraska Conservative, which in a recent is sue thus defends the claim of the United States, in view of recent events, to be called a Christian Nation." "The United States," says tho Conservative, "is not only Christian nation, but is more than that conspicuously pious! It has Christianity up to and over the brim of this small continent. It slops over onto the v est Indian Islands and leaks out upon the Pacific heathen of the Philippines. This is a nation full of piousness. Christ ianity which permits lynching from Omaha to Atlanta and sweetly winks at Ou ay is in in Pennsylvania, Plat tism in New York and indorses corpse-making under the enphem ism of 'benevolent assimilation' ought to be scattered as a moral fertilizer all over this savage and unregenerated globe. Religious Christian! Pious! Look at our pol itics, our President, our Senators and Representatives, our Ilannas, our saints: I here is, perhaps, a levity of tone in the preceeding quotation which fails to take ac count of the Christians who deplore recent public acts. Baltimore bun A NORTHERN NEGRO OUTRAGE. Three negroes were mobbed by FORGED POLICY DISCOVERED. The New York Journal of Com merce of July 10th says: The arrest of an insurance man in a North Carolina town for alleged cheating of livery stable keepers aroused the suspicion of a merchant in Wood sdale, N. C, who had obtained a policy from him and he commenced an investingation as to its value. It turned out to have been originally issued by the London Assurance on Danville, Va., property and to have been cleaned oil by the use of chem icals and rewritten for the Wood- New York excursionists on the beach at Rye, N. Y., Tuesday. The negroes were Andrew Clark, his wife, and Henry Langhold. When the boat from New York arriyed a number of the excursionists swam ashose. Drink had been plentiful and it did not take loner for the ad vance guard to get into a quarrel with the three negroes mentioned. who were harmlessly standing on the beach, watching the excursion crowd land. Most of the excursion ists appear to have been members of some sporting association, and were uniformed in white hats, with belts, and armed with baseball bats. The tight was desperate at the outset, and while the negroes received some serious blows they were about to get the best of the battle, when launch es landed loaded with other excur sionists. These compelled the ne groes to flee, but they pursued, beat ing them with bats and tearing their clothing almost entirely oil" their backs. Clark, who covered the re treat, got the worst of the terrible beating and fell exhausted. A kind hearted excursionist threw himself upon the prostrate negro, and aided by the tew policemen present, saved him from immediate killing. Clark's wife, with the other negro, ran into a swamp to escape and were mired abovd their knees. Clark's bruises are such that it is feared he will die. Most of the attacking party escaped to the boat. A few were arrested and released on bail. We relate this history because the affair was a shameful attack upon three helpless people of another race and color by a multitude. We would not suppose that such a thing could have occurred at the North, self-con stituted guardian of the negro race. Is it possible that the negro has been wounded in the house of his friends ? Charlotte Observer. WHAT THE EDITORS DISCUSS. There seems to be but little hope of successfully combating the crim inal combines of the country thro' a business combination of farmers. The trusts must be reached and dealt with by the strong arm of the law and it is in this direction that a combination of the farmers, together with others who are suffering from the grinding grasp of the trusts, will count. Trusts will be one of the big issues in the next campaign.. The Republican party has all along fostered the organization of the oppressive combine and while it is likely that party will attempt to stem the tide of public wrath by incorp orating anti-trust sentiments in its national platform, it cannot blot out its past record of inllicting these iniquities upon the people,and it will be recognized as the champion of the unholy combines. Winston Senti nel. The hired legal opinons concern ing the constitutionality of the pro posed amendment contradict the re port scattered through this section. The reports scattered about here are that the amendment will dis franchise the "poor white man," and these hired Republican legal opinions say that the amendment is unconstitutional because it discrim inates against the negro, that it will disfranchise the ignorant negro but will not touch the ignorant white man. And thus they are contra dicting their own arguments. The Republican papers, just after the last election were all in favor of some amendment that would take the negro out of politics. Now they rant and charge because, they claim, the amendment will put the negro out of politics, but won't effect the the white men. One naturally in fers from their arguments that if the amendment had been framed so as to not interfere with the negro, but disfranchised the poor Dem ocratic white people, it would have been all right. The fact is these hired Republican politicians can't be honest about any important ques tion. Wilkesboro Chronicle. The combines the devouring and destroying trusts will drive out .55,000 com mericial travelers,says the president of their National League, Mr. Dowe. The evil done to others by this course on the part of the monsters is immense. It will not only affect greatly the men thus dis missed but then probably 100,000 women and children who are also involved seriously in the calamity This fact is enough to put the brand ot condemnation upon the enemies of their country. Every good citizen should hate trusts and monopolies with an uncommon hatred. Here is a condensed statement of President Dowe's evidence as to the injury done by the villainous trusts: The trusts taken together have effectet an annual saving of $11,000,000 of which $60,000,000 is the loss in salaries, $270,000,000 is the loss to the railroads in fares and the cost of transporting excess of baggage and $27,000,000 is the loss to hotels. He calculates that it the formation of trusts continues, the services of of one-half the commercial travelers will be dispensed with, in which event the loss in salaries alone will be $1 18,000,000 and the loss to the railroads $75,000,000. In referring to the discharge of traveling sales men, Mr. Dowe went into specitica tion. The great tobacco combines dispensed with 2,000 salesmen, the baking powder trust has retained only half a dozen, the bicycle trust will throw out COO and the chai: trust 500, the rubber trust has dis pensed with 300, the sugar and coffee trusts have thrown out 1,000, the tinplate combine has got rid of about ninety out of every 100 salesmen Wilmington Messenger. hunk 0 10 PIC I Beware of the Doctors' Patchwcfk; You Gan Cure Yoorself at Home.

Biggest Wedding Ever Known. On the day that Alexander the Great was married no fewer than 20,- 202 persons in one ceremony were made husbands and wives. This seems impossible, but the event really took place, as historical records tell us. This monster wedding oc curred upon the conquest by Alex ander the Great of Persia, which was then ruled oyer by King Darius. Alexander married Statira. the daughter of the conquered king and decreed that 100 of his oflicers should be united to 100 ladies from the no blest Persian and Medean families. n addition to this, he stipulated that 10,000 of his Greek soldiers should marry 10,000 Asiatic women. When everything was settled, a vast pavil ion was erected, the pillars of which were tu teet high. Une hundred erorgeous chambers adjoined this for 00 noble bridegrooms, while for the remaining 10,000 an outer court was nclosed, outside of which tables were spread for the multitude. Each pair had seats and ranged them selve in a semicircle round the royal throne. Of course, the priests could not marry this vast number of cou ples, so Alexander the Great devised yery simple ceremony. He gave his hand to Statira and kissed her an example that all the bridegrooms followed. Thus ended the ceremony, and that vast number were married. Then followed the festival, which asted five days, the grandeur of which has never been equaled since. There is not the slightest doubt that the doctors do more harm than good in treating Contagious Blood Poison ; many victims of this loathsome disease would be much better off to-day if they had never allowed them selves to be dosed on mercury and potash, the only remedies which the doctor ever give for blood poison. The doctors are wholly unable to get rid of this vile poison, and only attempt to heal up the outward appearance of the disease the sores and eruptions. This they do by driving the poison into the system and endeavor to keep it shut in with their constant doses of potash and mercury. The mouth and throat and other delicate parts then break out into sores, and the fight is continued indefinitely, the drugs doing the system more damage than the disease itself. Mr H "Li Mvers. 100 Mulberry St., Newark, N. J., says: "I had spent a hundred dollars with the doctors, when I realized that they could do me no good. I had large spots all over my body, and these soon broke out into running sores, and I endured all the suffering which this vile disease pro duces. I decided to try S. S. S. as a last resort, and was soon greatly improved. I followed closely your 'Direc tions for Self-Treatment,' and the large splotches on my chest began to grow paler and smaller, and before long disappeared entirely. I was soon cured perfectly and my skin has been as clear as glass ever since. I cured my self at home, after the doctors had failed completely."

Leak, the well-known and in fluential negro preacher politician. and asked him what was the atti tude of his race towards the fran chise amendment to the constitution. Dr. Leak replied: "Tbey are not caring much about it. They have very little to say. The amendment will be ratified by a big majority. 40,000 or more, I believe."
