JO.NKS GI EX AN OFFICE.
An Asbeviile" special of the 20ih
rays.'-
"H. F. Join. f Sparta, has beto
t.p pointed to a position as brand
deputy collector uner Collector,
liarkiub. Four deputies of this class
lave recently been appointed by
Collector llarkin. The plums were
nueh sought after, as there is a
tilary attached of 1C0 per montn,
ith a liberal allowance for ex
penses." This is the same IL F. Joaes who
-as convicted at Wilkesboro a week
or two ago of perjury, the circura
fttances of which were.
"The charge against Joues was
this: - la 1892 a county claim of
4:15.44 was issued to Joues. In 1893,
.Tnnpa rr-nresented that he bad lost
ihfi claim in Rock river and was iriv
en a duplicate. In 1898 Jones asked
for a second duplicate, and made af
fidavit that the original claim was
inct and that he mistake he hid
torn ud the duDlicateand that neith
er had been Daid. It developed that
t-ht nriirinal had not been lost and
that the duplicate had been paid ir.
1893, showing the affidavit was uu
ifue in every respect. The question
i of'' the jury was to ascertain wheth
1 t the affidavit was wilful and with
intent to defraud or was it made
honestly by mistake. The' jury
found the former view and returned
u verdict of guilty of perjury."
Jones had his case removed from
Alleghany to "Wilkes for the alleged
reason that there, was political
prejudice against him in his own
. caunty. He was tried by a Republi
can judge and a jury, nearly all of
whose members were Republicans,
and convicted. Judge Starbuck
suspended judgment on payment of
the cost, and inNJais the judge erred
Jones should have received the full
penalty of the law. Now Collector
fj&rkins appoints Jones to a good
ofUce. This new recruit to the Re
publican party is convicted of om
of the most dangerous and despica
ble crimes known to the law, let off
' with the costs by a Republican
judge, and in less than half a month
appointed to a lucrative office by a
Republican collector of revenue
Republican officials do these things,
and yet we have pretended Demo
cratic papers preaching -'indepen
dence in politics" and trying to aid
the Republican party by" ridicule of
.Dem&Uat forms ar'd abuse f
Tho Virginia Democratic platform
deals principally with State issues,
r'eaity is affirmed to the National
organization, and the leaders of the
narty, from Jefferson to Bryan, are
lauded. The two most striking fea
tures cf the platform are the planks
declaring for primaries for the nomi
..ution of United States Senators
-cd for a State railroad commissiop
ith powers to tlx rates. The plat
. Q-iii is a strong declaration of Dem
ocratic principles and a disappoint
ment to those who hoped for a back
track movement. The nominee for
Governor, Hon. Andrew J. "Mon
tague, the president attorney gen
rai of the State, is probably the
ablest, young leader of the State and
a Democrat in whom there is nc
guile. His nomination is a protest
'litiit corporate interference ic
the' politics of Virginia. The re
sult, of the convention is a big defeat
-and re Luke to Senator Martin, who
i regarded as under railroad influences.

fabulously valuable franchises to the

something will be heard to Crop in

elect their State ticket this year.

Mr. II. E: C. Bryant, traveling
representative o'flhe Charlotte Oo

Seaboard Air Lice pasecger sta
tion this morning.
-Mr. Bryant was at' tho station
awaiting the arrival of th train go
ing to Lincolntou. While be was
seated reading a bool', he noticed
that Eaamett Rollins and a negro boy
were about to come to blows, As
the negro boy was larger than Rol

Guston Plunkett,co!t)red, a truckman
vt the Seaboard station, wa.Ked up
;ud aski-d Mr. Bryant what he had
io do with the bovs trouble. Mr.
Crvant promptly replied that he had
nothing to do with the affair and
propounded the .-amo queseion to
Piunktt. .Is soon as Wr. uryani
had aiked Plunkett this question,
he ncro addressed some very in
sont remarks to Mr. Bryaut and
advanced toward him. As soon as
Plunkett came in arms length of
Mr. Bryant, he was dealt a stuuning
blow ou the utck. This infuriated
the negro and' he made for Mr.
Bryant's throat atrd succeeded in
ulacing his light hand in the news
paper man's collar. As soon as Mr.
Bryant could free himself from the
stroDgrrasp of the powerful negro,
he pulled his gun and lircd one shot.
At the report of the pistol, Plunkett
went into the air and he hit the
ground running. Mr. Bryant at.
tempted to shoot the second time
but before he could get his gun iu a
position to lire, Mr. H. L. Guthrie
and Judge Hoke ran up and caught
his arm..
In the meantime Plunkett 's wife
was yelling at the top of her voice
for uer husband to get out of tne
way.' Pluckett needed no encour
agement along this line. Box cars,
mail wagons and shifting engines

After the trouble Mr. Bryant got
aboard his train and left for Lincoln

Plunkett returned to his work
portly afterwards. The bullet
tired by Mr. Bryant went wide of
the oajjj. It only served to fright
en Plunkett in an inch of his life.

On getting aboard the excursion

ing every one who- was smokrn
with the cc-ntmand to throw th'
weed away. Some complied and
some did not. Some she relieved ol
their cigars by force of arms and
some by force of eloquence. To all
individually and -collectively, she
delivered her diatribe against the
evil of smoking.
Going up to Eugene Foley, ol
Claytotvrepraseutative of a Utica

throw his cigar into, the river. He
refused, and the made a shrtt, arm
jab for the weed. Foley side-steoned
and countered with his open hand

A Suppote 1 Tar Heel Murderer Saved
by His Teeth.
Suffolk, Va., Dispatch 20th.
Chief of Police BriDklev last nio-M
weut to Chesapp&ke, N.C., and near
there arrested a man supposed to
beJirxi Lowry, a North Carolina
murderer, for whom there is $500
reward. The officer and assistants
had handcuffed the prisoner, when
they ordered him to open his mouth.
His teeth were not like Lowry's and
the accused, who said his name was
jimurowo, was released. The
scription tallied otherwise.
