EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Republicans won in only two
or three' towns in the State in the
municipal electi ons last week. In
fiernersville they elected two negro
commissioners. This is bringing
negro officials home to our western
people. When you hear talk of "in
dependence in politics" from theself
sbyled "conservatives," remember
ab ut the Kernersville negro town
commissioners elected by the Repub
licans, and abide in the old Demo
cratic ship An united Democratic
party is necessary to permanent
white supremacy in every part of
North Caroli-sa.
There is a hot fight going on for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor of Virginia between Congress
man Swanson. Attorney General
Montague and Mr. Echols. Con
gressman Swanson, who represents
the Danville district, has the back
ing of Senators Daniel and Martin
an 1 what is known as the ''machine."
It looks to a man on the outside like
he will win. Of fifty-cine delegates
elejted last week, Swanson got thir
ty-six, Montague twelve and Echols
eleven. ' Swanson and Montague are
very able men.- Echols' record is
not familiar to us. Attorney Gen
eral Montague would attract atten
tion in any assembly. His hair is
the reddest of the redl,and his face is
that of the strong, selfish, self-reliant
man. He is regarded as one of
the ablest Virginians, but the clever
Congressman will doubtless defeat
him for the Governorship of the
Old Dominion."
It appears that President McKin-
ley has turned over the Federal of
fices iu South Carolina to Senator
McLaurin, who will use them in his
race, for re-election to the Senate.
McLaurin still claims to be a Demo
crat, and to see a Republican Presi
dent turning over the Federal pat
ronage in a State to a Democratic
Sena tor is a sight for gods and men.
We expect there is a perfect under
standing between McKialey and
McLaurin by which the Republican
party will lose nothing ty this gen
erosity on McKinley's part, if Mc
Laurin can prevent it. Recently
.McLaurin undertook to secure Gen
eral Wade Hampton with the Colum
bia postoffice, but the old hero re
fused to be bought. Of course Sen
ator McLaurin will be able to fill the
offices with former Democrats, just
as Dr. Mottand Col. Cooper could
always find-Democrats in western
North Carolina to take the revenue
offices in the good old days, but
Senator McLaurin will find that his
office holders will not be able to save
him. The moment one of them
takes office his influence with Demo
crats will be gone forever. Mc
Laurin is already dead politically
simply a corpse awaitiugthe burial
which the Palmetto Democrats will
provide at the next election.

Maxton Scottish Chief. .
A man by the name of Hammond,
traveling from Marlboro S. C, was
arrested here Sunday, by Deputv
Sheriff T. L. Smith. He has been
traveling through this country and
other parts of the State, sellicg
seeds tobacco and possibly other
commodities. He has been identi
fied, b7 driving a grey horse follow
ed by a mule colt. He also carried
adouble barrel gun (one barrel rifled.)
In his travels he had often stopped
at a Mr. Nance's home just oyer in
Bladen county. Mr. Nance's home
was blessed with abet u iful young
girl of sixteen summers. She seem
ed to become the centre of Mr.
Hammond's eye of affection. He
represented himself as a man of
family and means, and desirous of
securing a young lady as companion
and company for his wife. The
fancy price offered by him was suf
ficient tq induce the parents to allw
hr to accompany him, supposedly
to his home in South Carolina, but
instead it is claimed he took the
young lady through dark woods,
and by ways, keeping her in the
woods all night, during the darkness
of which, and away in the lonoiy
woods he committed that nameles
crime for which men pay with their
iife, and that too, quite fre
quently without judge or jury. At
bis preliminary hearing Tuesday, he
waived trial and examination and
was committed to jail at Lumberton
to await the action of the next jury.
How the Slaves Came South.
Indianapolis Sentinel, April, 25. 1862.
The Boston Gazette, published in
old Massachusetts, and dated July,
17. 1758, contains the following ad
vertisement: "Just imported from Africa.and to
be sold on board the brig Jonney.
William Ellery, commander, now
lying at New Boston, a number of
likely negro boys and girls, from
twelve to fourteen years of age. In
quire of said Ellery on board said
brig, where constant attend
ance is given. Note The above
slaves have all had the smallpox.
Treasurer's notes and New England
rum will be taken as pay."
There is a good text for a long ser
mon, but the subject requires but
few words. Massachusetts, now so
piously hostile to slavery, was at
that date and for half a century lat
er great slave trader of the Western
Hemisphere.

at i he time, deciiaed to surrender
the ofiice, claiming it by virtue of a
previous appointment by the court,
his term to last durintr good behav
ior, as provided by an act passed m
1777.
Hoke appealed to the courts, and
so bitter was the contest that
though he lost his case, Henderson's
son swore he would idii him Hoke's
friends warned him of the threat and
he prepared himself accordingly.
One day as he sat on his piazza
young Henderson rode up and with
daer drawn walked rapidly to
where Hoke sat. As he did so
Hoke pulled out his pistol and at
tempted to shoot his assailant, but
the weapon missed Ore and Hender
son stabbed him to the heart.
For this Henderson was tried, con
victed of manslaughter. and branded
with a big M in tneualm of his hand.
Then he left this country for Texas,
where several years later he was kill
ed in a quarre.1.
A few years airo Henderson's
widow sent the vest, which had been

Senator McLaurin is not a big
enough man to either originate or
direct any movement of consequence
A.nd yet many Republican newspa
pers are proclaiming him as the de
liverer of the south from Democratic
domination. -
This is very amusing to those who
know McLaurin and have observed
how utterly indifferent are the peo
ple of the south to his gyrations.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat in
its hilarity over McLaurin 's flop de
dares that "southern papers of the
better class are nearly all with Vlc
Laurin in the new departure he has
proclaimed." and to prove -that this
is soit quo es a few lines from The
charlotte Ooserver and ine Kich
mond Times.
The northern Republicans who
have invested in the great McLaurin
southern white Republican scheme
will discover very soon that they
have been caught by one of the bras
siest "gold . bricks" that has ever
been pat oa themarket.

The Governor Publishes All Pardons.

In a paper or to there is noticed
a little criticism f Governor Ay
cock for what is asserted to bs a too
free use of the rardoaing power
The fact is Tint Governor Ayeock
pat-dons from the jails more than
from the penitentiary and in this
respect differs from some other Gov
ernors There are more prisoners
in jiils than in the penitentiary and
vs the Governor very forcibly says,
more who are deservinir. One rea
son for i he criticism is that now
nothing is secret.' What . is done
and the reason for doing it is laid
ref ore lh mibHe Governor Carr
did not allow pardons to be given
out. tils idea was tbatafter a crim
inal had served hi sentence he
should be permitted to go unmark

Itus-i-11 came in and made, a flourish
by ridiculing Governor Carr's idea
and by giving out news of pardous.
He kept, up that gait but a iittle

The uncertainties of public life in
the United States have been declared
frequently to be an obstacle to the
largest measure of usefulness among
American statesmen, but there are
many exceptions says The New
York Sun. Among the newly elect
ed or hold-over senators are Jones, of
Nevada, and Allison; of Iowa, both"
elected in 1893;Cockrell, of .Viissouri;
elected in 1875; Hoar, of Massachu
setts, and Daniel, of Virginia, elect
ed in. 1877; of Piatt. Ccnneticut, and
Vest of Missouri, elected in 1879;
Hawley, of Connecticut, and Sewell,
of New Jersey, elected in 1881; Cul
lom. of Illinois, in 1893; Jones, of.
Arkansas, and Teller, of Colorado,
in 1885; Hale and Frye, of Maine, in
1881; and Stewan, of Nevada, the
pioneer in date of first service, or
iginally elected in 1864. These vet
erans are to be re euforced by the
return of Mitchell, of Oregon, first
elected to the sena'e in 1878; Black
burn, of Kentucky, first elected in

Detroit,Mich , Di-patcb, icth. -
Fully 10,000 men and boys ran riot
ia the main streets of this city for
more than three hours, and a con
tinual running fight with the police,
both mounted and on foot, made an
exciting night iu the heart of the
city tonight. The net results, so
far as known, is twelve citizens aud
five policemen injured. The names
of but two of the citizens are known
at present. They are Mike Waldin
and Louis Caplin, Both men had
their heads crushed by being tram
pled on by horses ridden by the
mounted police in a charge on the
crowd. The officers injurecLare Jasr

Scott, hit on head with cobblestone;
Thomas Jurphy, cheek cut open with
brick; George Moore, badly cut about
the head, by brick and taken home
in an ambulance; Barney Roonan,
hit with a brick.
The beginning of the riot was last
night, when the director of the po
lice, Frank T, Andrews, who recent
ly superseded the old police board
through the passage of tha Ripper
bill by the Legislature, issued au
order to the police to allow no one
to stand about the wagon of one Tom
Bawden, a local single-tax exhor;er,
who had incurred the ill-will of the
police director by the extraordinary
nature of his remarks on so-called
wealthy tax dodgers.
