The report of the meeting at Raletgb, on last Wednesday night, practically as sarts lovers of the National game of baae ball, ofaaeaaon of pleasure in eetng first data amusement on the ball Held. Baseball, professional and amateur, last year in North Carolina, was a great success In point of good playing and exciting contests. Last season'! Interest In base ball proyed that the people want to see more of It, and this Interest has been best demonstrated by the League Just formed, by the number of the gentlemen who are giving their time and attention to the establishment of the League, and the amnhailc determination of the officers to have good ball playing, clean ball playing, and the eitermlnatlon of every species of rowdyism on and off the field.! This looks like a large contract to per form, but the officers of the League feel that their individual reputations are in a measure at stake In this matter, and while they are lovers of exciting and enthusiastic ball playing, they want the games to be strictly honest and clean. Another feature of this season's base ball is the purpose to make It as econom leal as possible for each and every club minurement. so the season's schedule once entered upon, will be completed. This purpose carried out means bene fits all around. To tne players, as it win assure mew pay throughout the four months; to the patrons of the game an assurance of amusement during an otherwise dull aeason, and to those who bear the finan clal risk, a fair opportunity of getting through a season without loss. The successful carrying out of the pur poses of the present State League Base Ball management, as shows at the meet ing of the organization, means months of genuine sport to lovers of the Nation al game, and the establishment of base ball playing upon a basis of honesty in every particular, and this Is what ever) natron of the same wants to see, and nothing else. DIED AS HE LIVED. The death a few days ago of John P. Altgeld, ex-governor of Illinois, was 'In perfect keeping with a life full of itrenuosityt- AltgeWl wafc prominent In his leader ship among the Socialists .and Populists of the West, with an ability which lack ed all 'conservatism, J making, such a leader's dangerous factor, If at the head 'of affairs. ' The pardoning of the anarchists, and : the refusal to take positive action against me roiuuan iuio) un ni bwv up mandtng government r Interference to ' save 'property, were notable incidents la Altgeld's lUe. ' ;;;... ) Both of thes acta were Inimical to the public welfare and the best Interests of society, yet Altgeld ignored real condi tions, preferring to trust to his theories, as'belng the true process by which ex isting conditions would find a cafe evo lution. " . .V However fanatical and extreme bis views and actions, the man's personal honesty was not: questioned, but this did not prevent the putting Into practice of his theories of socialism.. : ' Actively taking part In a pro-Boer meeting, the man found the limit of bis physical powers, which for months had been over tasked,, he reached the end, . strenuous to the last, . fUltaxpayeemtnot exac- The matter of the enforcement of a poll tax, by the withdrawal In case of f, lure to pay, of the right to cast a bal- lot at Eta's e! f "" i or re? ' Ions, by the man so 13, Is variously on- r and purpose of r '1 t x r;- tt, or bo privilege at elections, was to re duos the colored vote la the South. The (Sect of tha law seems to have bee a failure la this particular. Is Lou Ulj a, the white vote has been eat down equal to the colored vote. Ia kllaslsalppi forty to fifty thousand whites refuse to pay tho tax, preferring not to vote, and tome Virginia newspapera ask that the poll Ux pre-requlalte be left eat of the Bute's new suffrage law. The men who would vole In North Carolina this year, have the problem of paying and voting, or of refusing and notjvotlng, to be decided Individu ally. - Bat Is the poll tax prerequisite really and truly a political exaction, meant to dlafanchlse any class of voters T Instead should not the failure to pay this tax, bar the man who refusea or falls to, from the privilege of exercising his aay at the polls as to who shall be In public office, or how public utilities shall be conducted T The poll tax is both the means of dis tinguishing the man, who believes that he should support his government, be it municipal, county, State or National, and also" Is a 'source of revenue for the municipality, county. State and Nation. The evasion of the payment of the poll tax for years, with no bar of any kind for the failure to ilst or pay, makes any enforcement seem harsh anil nn Jmt. Ttou-n Is of men in every State have evaded pa Ing poll tax, because they had no other tax to pay, an 1 roulil not be at tached or found and mwlo to pay their poll. Yet these fame men were on hand at every election, and tholr votes counted In electing men to office, who made lax laws for the men who regularly paid their taxes, which these poll tax evadors escaped. Regardless of politics, there is an equl ty in making every voter contribute at least a poll tax for tho support of his community and State, and he who wil fully fails should be debarred from a vote against the man who pays. There is Injustice rather than exaction In enforcing the poll tax payment How's This ? We offer One Hundred "Dollars Re ward for any case of Catarrh that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure F. J.

Gay, tha white maa charged .with the murder, or rather the aasaaalnatloa of Ayeock In Wilson county, aad who was put la the penitentiary to save him from threat ened lynching, has bee taken to WUsoa for trial. The sheriff aad a depaty took him. It Is the first case la which a pris oner under charges was placed la the penitentiary. Joseph Blake, the surveyor of this county, died la a hospital here last night of congeslloa of the lufcgs. His age was 83. He waa la the rain several hours lait Saturday In Johnston county aad did not change his clothing. He was a member of one of the most prom inent families in the county and was greatly esteemed. It Is decided that Col. W. B. Rodman of Washington, N. C , shall be the agent of the State board of education for all the lands In lis control, known as "swamp lands." The position does not carry with It any salary or expense to the Siato. There Is a good deal of criticism of, the exercise of the pardoning power by Governor Ayeock. Thore is this to be said In this connection, that the number of pardons he granted during the first twelve months of his administration was the same as the number granted by Gov. Vance during his first year and only 4 more than the numbergranled by Gov. Jarvls during the first year of his regular term. There will no ('ojbt be criticism of (he commutation of tho death sentence of Andrew. Sherman Jackson, the white man convicted of burglary In Lincoln county It Is scrted that public opin ion was iu favor of execution. It Is also alleged that Jaikson's family Is revengeful and that the hou?e of a wit ness against him waa burned. But the Governor Is confident that he took the right course, with new evidence, in liapc of aUldavils, before him. It is slated Jsckson was sure he would be hanged and that his mind was so wrought up 1 hut when he was placed in the penitentiary the sheriff who brought him told the oftiol ils he would bej worth less so f r as any work was concerned. The annual report of Adjutant-Gen eral Itovstcr wns issued to-day, and Is very complete. Many unite men are falling to pay their poll tax, and great pressure is be ing brought to bear to make them pay It, as otherwise they will be disfran chised.

The Atlantic and North Carolina Rail road had a few freight cars damaged and one man Injured just as the Incoming freight train was Bearing this city lsst night The accident was caused by two cars being uncoupled about the middle of the train. Tha engineer had put on the air brakes and was slowing down to enter the switch aear the cotton mill. He did not know of the uncoupled ears until he felt the jar occasioned by the latter half of tha train coming against him. ' John Smith, a colored train hand, was steading on the front part of the shanty car when the jar occurred. He was thrown forward against the car just ahead and would have fallen on the rails but for the fact that the bumpers were stove up and the two cars too close together to permit him falling between them.
