In a long interview in Washington ex-Congressman Harry Skinner, of Pitt county, announces that he is a Republican. He was first a Demo crat, then a Populist and now says he is a Republican.. In all the, par ties he h is been a persUtect vtlice seeker. It is mow thought that he wants to bo appointed by President McKitilcy district attorney for the Eastern district nf North v. aroliiia. Wheu Republican pie gives out the handsome Harry will be ready to h ant new pastures. It is given out that a boom for ex Senator David B. Bill, ofNew York, for the Democratic nomination for President in 1904 is being worked up by his friends. Senator Hill is an able man and an astute politician, but he will not be the Democratic nominee. " We believe events of the next two or three years will pro duce the man who will lead the party to victory and that he will in all probability be a man not now known to the country. In any event it is too early yet to be dis cussing the matter, and booms started now are liable to strike ma-4 ny snags before the summer days of 1904 when the convention will be held. night the Manufacturers' Club, of Charlotte, gave a banquet to the Chinese Minister, who was a Charlotte visitor that day. Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina, who bolted the Democratic caucus of the last fcenate, was also a guest. He made a speech in which he declared that he would not start a new party or join the Republicans, but make his fight inside the Democratic par ty. He advocated expansion, ship subsidies, protection and other Re publican doctrines. It is clear that he has betrayed the party which e- lected him and that his course now should be to resign his seat in the Senate and openly join the Repuli- can patty. The next Legislature of his State will elect a true Democrat to succeed him, D. A. Tompkins, whom McKinley recently appointed to a fat office, was the principal pro moter of the feast, and it is clear that it was not -a- Democratic affair. Senator Simmons and Governor Ay cock, who were invited, did well to absentjthemselves. Senator Pritch- ard was one of the nabobs of the feast. ' v We hear the words"conseryative" and "extreme" frequently applied to Democrats these days. Observa tion leads us to believe that the self styled '"conservatives" are those who believe in nothing Democracy stands for and who vote the Demo cratic ticket because they are ashamed to vote for the Republican nominees. Those whom the self righteous dub "extremes" are the thick and thin Democrats who fight the party's battles and make the name "Democrat" stand for some thing distinctive in our Dolitics, The "extreme" Democrats are those who have remained true to the par ty, not only-during campaigns and at election times, but through all the years, because they believed it right. In other words they are the old 'regulars" who could and can al ways be counted on. They do not put in their time between elections cursing out the party and decryiDg its leadership, and then try to undo the work of years during the short weeks of a campaign. In short, it's the old fight under new names be tween those men in the Democratic party who really believe in Republi can principles and those who believ ingin Democratic principles would keep them uncontaminated. President McKinley recently ap pointed a gold Democrat named Ca pers district attorney of South Car olina. The President, it is said, has hopes of building up a white Repub lican party in the South by the ap pointment of former Democrats to office. Mr. McKinley might profit by past Republican failures to cor rupt the white Democrats of the South by giving offices to a few ren- evades. The buying of Democrats with Federal offices was formerly a thriving business in this part of the country. In the good old days when Dr. J. J. Mott and the late Col. Tom Cooper ran the collector's offioe in this district it was common for a strong Democrat to be appointed to a revenue office, and nine times in ten it was not long until he became one of the rankest of Republicans. He was expected to carry his neigh bors and relatives with him, but when the next election came this expectation was disappointed. The net gain to the Republican party was the one lone office holder who had to be provided for ever after wards,. President McKinley will be disappointed in his dream of a Southern white Republican party as his Republican predecessors have ever been, for the great mass ot Southern white men are not built that way. Capers, the new recruit, has a job, and the old line Republi cans of South Carolina mil P0ntinue td suck their paws. True as Preaching " Raleigh News and Observer. If the South should ever vote Re publican, it will not sell its vote, Mr, McKinley. ( You and Senator Mc Laurin may buy a few men who are in the public eye with a .Federal office, but the moment you do, he loses his influence with men who do not bend "the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift may follow fawn ing." . They Want Office. Raleigh News and Observer. ' Some North Carolina bolting Dem ocrats now nope McKinley will re member tbeou since he is helping men of that stripe in South Carolina. They are doomed to disappointment . The President has already given . a $3,600 job to ,one so-called Demo cratic newspaper in North Carolina and permits the owner of another ttf name the Federal judges. He thinks that is enough. Case of Telepathy, or a : . Cleveland. Ohio. Dispatch, 19th. In the midst of a song at Trinity Congregational church last night Mrs. A. A. Lacgdon, a noted singer, stopped suddenly and left the plat form with tears streaming down her face. She was assisted to the dress ing rooru by her husband, where she burst out into hysterical crying "Something awful has happened, " she cried. Her husband tried to soothe her and assure her that there was nothing wrong, but she was un able to resume singing. She was taken to her hotel in a carriage and there received a telegram from Asheville, N. C, announcing the death of her sister. Mrs. Langdon left the platform at 9:05 o'clock, the exact moment her sister expired. A Case of Infanticide at Monroe. Monroe Special to Raleigh News and Observer, 19th. A negro child about five days old was found dead this morning in the suburbs, only a few yards west of the Graded Schools. Both legs and one arm had been cut off, the head had been crushed and the bod' was enclosed in a she bex and hidden in leaves until the buzzards found it. Soon after it had been found, Dr. Massey, a colored physician, report ed to the police that he had been called in to treat the wife of Spencer Meddbn. He was told that her child was born dead and had just been buried. While he was there a second child was born, a mulatto. The murdered child was a mulatto, so both Meddlin and his wife were arrested. The coroner's jury found both guilty of murder and they were lodged in jail. A Case Tried at Boone With Only Seven J nror3. Burke County News. Judge Timberlake presided over the court at Boone. It is said that one day as the court started into a trial the judge's attention was call ed to the fact that there were only eleven jurors in the box. He said eleven would do as well as twelve and ordered that the trial be pro ceeded with. Then one of the eleven asked to be excused a moment on ac count of sickness in his family. The juror was excused, the judge re marking that ten would do as well as eleven, Then three other jurors were excused for various reasons and the judge said that seven would do as well as ten and the trial went on with only seven jurors. The case terminated in a mistrial, as the jury could not agree. A Nice Program But Hard to Carry Out. Wadesboro Messenger-Intelligencer. To read the comments of some pi pers in the state, on the acquittal of Justice Furches and Douglas and the nol prossing of the indictments a gainst the Democratic registrars, simple minded people might imagine that North Carolina political cam paigns, in the future, are to be noth ing but love feasts. If we are to be lieve these papers,the time is at hat d when the virtue and intelligence of the State and vice and incompetency are to lie down together, and no one will dare complain, even though fleas are found in the bed. Verily, it's a nice programme the only trouble with it being that it will never be carried out. The Chinese Minister m Charlotte. Charlotte Dispatch, 19th. Wu Ting Fang, Chinese minister, arrived in Charlotte this morning from Washiugton and spent the day as guest of the Southern Manufae turers'Club, together with Senator McLaurin, Senator Pritchard, Dr. Chas Dabney, president of the Uni versity of Tennessee and other; dis tinguished personages. Minister Wu immediately upon his arrival was escorted to the club by D. A. Tompkins and others. On reaching the club breakfast for four was served, with Minister Wu at tha head of the table. Minister Wu or- dered chickenand eggs for breakfast Alter uuuipieuuK ms mcai ius nese 'minister, arrayed in official robes and accompanied by a large party, was driven over the city, visiting several cotton manufacuring plants. In the afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30 a reception in honor of the minister was given mostly to ladies of the city, who would not otherwise have had an opportunity of meeting the distinguished Oriental. At this re ception throngs of the city's repre sentative and most stylish ladies and escorts were introduced to Minister Wu. At the banquet at night, one of the handsomest menus ever served on any similar occasion here was par ticipated Jn by members of the Southern Manufacturers' Club and a few invited friends.

Cambridge, Mass., Dispatch, 20th. On the occasion of'a social reunion of St. Mary's Catholic parish, last night, the Kev. Father Scully took occasion to add res the young men of the parish upon their tendency to remain bachelors. He declared that hereafter he proposes to tax all un married men in his parish over 25 years of age $2o a year until they reach 35, when they , frill, be taxed $750. -After that age they will be exempt ivorn tax as the priest claims no woman would care to marry them. Just the Way of it. Wadesboro Messenger-Intelligencer, We hear a great deal of talk now adays about a respectable Republi can party in the South. Every once in a while some hitherto respectable white mau is given a Federal office as the price of his desertion of his people, and then those who are bid ding for the same sort of recogni tion at the hands of Hanna and Mc Kinley sft up a great cry of admira tion for the independence of the fellow who has sold himself. But we are glad to believe that it will take a long time to make the Repub lican party respectable in the South by the distribution of gratuities to renegade Democrats. The "Duke" Calls on tha President. Washington Dispatch, 20th. Sylvester Barker, who styles him self Duke of the United States, with his home at Morgan town, West Vir ginia, called at the White House to day to colleen from the President $125,000 due him as salary he said. 1 he doorkeeper took him iu charge. He left a huge car.e for the Presi dent. He seemed rational in all points but the Dukeship. He says he is about 50 years of age and has a brother in Rodgedale, West Vir ginia. Says he was in an asylum in West Virginia, but escaped. He declares that ex Postmaster General WilsoD, Andrew Carnegiaacd others raised large sums of money for him but that a Pittsburg man stole it. A Fearful tteport. Greensboro Patriot. A deplorable state of affairs is re ported from the eastern part of the county. Within the past ten days two negro men have left for parts unknown, it is said as a result of im proper relations with two young white women, who are sisters. It is believed'by some that the first negro to leave followed his shameless companion to some point in the North, where she is said to be pass ing as a negro. The other sisterjis still at home. Her paramour left Sunday night, telling bis employer that his life had been threatened on account of his relations with the white woman. Both negroes left helpless families behind. The two young women who have sunk to the very lowest depths of degradation come of highly respect able ancestry. Each is the mother of a mulatto child and both are now said to be in a delicate condition The Federal ICourt. Raleigh News and Observer. People who dwell in the land of corn and mountain dew are pleased with some things that they no?? see. For instance there's Judge Boyd's announcement from the bench at Greensboro that all persons convict ed of violating the revenue laws will receive the full penally of the law; that the end of compromises has. come and straw bonds must be no longer received by the United States Commissioners- These rulings are causing consternation iu some sec tions, and have moved the editor of the Wilkesboro Chronicle" to call on his readers "to stop the liquor busi ness while they can. " He adds: "The trust is in the saddle and small fry must step aside. The fact is, no man outside of the whiskey trust can safely conduct any kind of liquor business and the sooner they quit it the better" And has it come to this, that the Trust is to throttle the 'shiner and the Money Power is to obstruct the free flow of unstamped mountain dew? We refuse to believe it. . Martin MadeGood All His Stealing Except From the Penitentiary. Raleigh Dispatch, 19th. - It is learned that tomorrow the legislative committee investigating the books of Major J. H. Martin will make a verbal report to the Govern or. This will say that while he stole from the State Hospital, Agricul tural Department, Agricultural and Mechanical College and Institute for tbeJ3iind, he made these thefts good by his stealings from the penitenti ary which, as before stated, aggre gate 16,763. -Jartin robbed Peter to "pay Paul. He really hoped he had "doctored" the accounts so he wouldn't bt found out. Thecom mittee will also make a complete written report to the Governor, giv ingjtabulated statements of Martin's thefts from and repayments to the various institutions, etc. His first stealing was in October, 1896. His largest theft was of $2,100 in Novem ber, 1899. His largest change of raising of figures on the books at one time was $3,000. It was about two years ago that he was a high roller. After the affair was all over and the thefts discovered people told Father Worth of Martin's habits. Martin was, as far as women are concerned, a "soft mark." He real ly told the truth, for once, when'he said his thefts from all the institu tions save the penitentiary had been made good. It Certainly Was. Raleigh News and Observer.

State Treasury Short of Funds. Raleigh News and Observer, 20th. The Stale is short of money, and the institutions which were voted money for buildings and improve ments by the Legislature of 1901, will have to do without the improve ments and new buildings forawhile, until the money is in. hand to pay for these things. Of this state of af fairs' the heads of the various State institutions have been informed by State Treasurer Lacy, who wrote them thai the taxes for the present year were utterly inadequate to meet the demands for money for special appropriations. W hen the matter is considered, it is a wouder that it had not been clearly understood before. In mak ing the increased appropriations, the Legislature of 1901 based its calculation about the money it could v .te, upou the revenue to be brought in by the new revenue law, and not by the one of 1899. The mat ter is" put in a nutshell when it can be stated autnontatively that the State Treasur" is in such a condition that all special appropriations will j have to be paid from the taxes com iDg in during September, October, November and December. Treasurer Lacy's statement has already caused a Council of State to be held, at which the matter was dis cussed in all its bearings, and the only solution was as stated above. Dr. J. F. Miller, Superintendent of the Eastern Asylum, had the mat ter of the urgent needs of the insti tution he presides over presented to the Council. That money for the Eastern Hospital was imperatively needed was manifest and arrangb ments were made by which $10,000 was made immediately available for the institution at Goldsboro. It is also stated that $25,000 has been allowed the Western Hospital out of the regular appropriations. . A Doctor Tarred and Feathered. Iporte, Ind., Dispatch, 20th.

The father inisisted, however, that he be stripped and tarred from head to foot. Then he was covered with feathers. In that condition he was kept until morning, when he was ex hi'oited in t.he streets. The father the a said if Taylor would leave the country and nfcver attempt to' communicate with his daughter, he would be satisfied. Taylor left .
