The Charlotte News a few days ago made complaint in an aditorial paragraph that other papers are constantly " clip ping from its columns without giving proper credit. It certainly is annoy ing to an editor to put his thoughts and the result of his reserch into his col umns and then see such bodily clipped and printed without credit. The Commonwealth has sometimes Man its own articles in other papers without credit at all, and sometimes credited to the wrong paper. Only last week an editorial of this paper was reprinted word for word in a North Carolina weekly as an original arti cle. With the Charlotte News, we try to give our exchanges credit for every thing we cony from them; and we ask from our contemporaries the same consideration." Some editors are too careless about giving credit. THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVEN TION. The Democratic convention of the Second Congressional District was held in Wilson Wednesday of last week. Chairman W. A. Dunn, of Scotland Neck, called the convention to order and C. B. Aycock, Esq., of Goldsboro, was made chairman of the convention The Wilson Advance says he made a ringing speech. The following were the committee on resolutions ; F. D.' Winston, of Uertie ; L. Y. Bassett, ot Edgecombe ; W. E. Daniel, of Halifax ; J; W. Grain ger, of Lenoir ; J. H. Keer, of Warren ; i A.

The Cosmopolitan for ' September is an unusually interesting number. Under "Great Problems . in Organiza tions," there is a most Interesting paper on "The Modern Newspaper in War Time," by Arthur Brisane. It is well illustrated, showing many phases of war life. "The Equipment ot Glad stone" is another well illustrated and charming article, showing much of the real ground of the success of the gratest man ot the century. The fourth art isle in the" Autobiography of Napoleon" adds to the charms ot this number. One of the best and cheapest maga ' zines published. $1.00 a year. Irving ton, New York. and he notified me the same day, whereupon I at once turned over the whole business, and after that never contracted for a cent, never collected a rent, never mid out a cent. The statement therefore that I was respon sible for any business of the peniten tiarv. outgoing or incoming, after the 5th dav of March is without founda tion. Itvis stated in Mr. Dockery's letter (or report) that "Mr. Smith found all the farms in a very backward state of preparation ; and indeed upon some of them very little at all had been done toward making the new crop." Mr. Dockery does not seem to recollect that ia the first month of the fusion admin istration, between the 20th and 27th of March, a committee of his board, Mess. Clark, Perkins and Cotton, together with the superintendent, visited all the penitentiary farms, lor the purpose oi inspecting and receiving the property. I heard all the members of the com mittee, especially Mr. Clark, as also the superintendent, express astonishment and delight at the advanced and care ful preparation of the lands, Mr. Clark asserting that he believed that there was no farm in the State m such good condition as that before him. This misstatement is so palpable that it viti ates all other statements made. The truth is there were not less than 7,000 acres of these lands beautifully and thoroughly prepared by the 20th of March. It nothing had been done, which I say again is absolutely false, why did the incoming administration' employ my supervisors to remain and make the crop? And if nothing had been done till the 1st of April, how was such a large crop made that year? As to supplies on hand, the f usion- lsts seem to have expected that tne Democrats should have provided at least a year's ration of flour, meat, etc for their benefit. We usually bought such things of this kind as were needed every month, and we expected them to do likewise or as they deemed best. It is admitted that there was no corn to reach corn again, because as every one knows the July floods of loub destroy ed the whole corn crop except about 20,000 barrels. , Much ado Is made by these officials because they found amongst nearly 400 mules and horses a very few sick, dis abled or worn out animals. We found it necessary every year to dispose of in efficient stock and to replace them with oihers fit for the service. We found the penitentiary in 1893 with 210. mules and horses. We added just about that number ot young and vig orous animals during our term, and the average of the whole was very high to any one capable of judging and who is not determined to misrepresent. f Mr; Smith sold 831 bales of cotton for $20,061.27, as he reports, then he received only about 5 cents per pound for it. Hundreds of bales were sold in February at an average of 6 cents in Norfolk, equivalent to 6 at home markets, and the price was J to 1 cent higher in April than in February. It is not to be forgotten by these guardi ans of the State's interests, that a large part of the fertilizer, several hundred J tons, were bought .bought much of the cotton : and for these several dollars more per ton were paid than the stuff was offered at by other responsible parties. Certainly this could not prove less than the bald est incompetency. According to the code oi ethics of the late Ben Butler, a man might prefer to be called a knave rather than a fool These officials find much fault with the Democratic administration because their superintendent, they allege, ex erted great influence to prevent an ap propriation bj the last general assem bly for the penitentiary for the years 1897 and 1898. The superintendent differed with Governor Carr as to the necessity for an appropriation, and de clined to recommend it, though tne governor did not. When asked by the superintendent, to be and by the legisla ture committee on penal institutions counties are in the majority. When this is true the negro becomes insolent. Once in the majority he becomes ugly. From Charlotte to Goldsboro is but a short ride by rail. Between the two places the difference in the disposition of the negro is not great. He?e he is somewhat more in evidence than in Charlotte, but not in the majority. Wayne county has about 3,700 white voters against 2,oOO negro voters. However, within the last two years, between 200 and 300 negroes have been brought here from other counties in the State to work tobacco. There is danger ol an overflow. The further east one goes, the dagger from an in flux of negros is more threatening. Indeed it is a serious question. "Wake county has in the person ot Andrew J. Bodgers, a negro deputy clerk of the court. I learned, while m Kaleigh, jesterday, on good authority, that a farmer in Wake, who has been a Republican of influence and ability for many years, became indignant some time ago because be had to prove a witness ticket before this negro clerk, and has since renounced Republican ism and joined the Democratic party. It is stated that seventeen ot his neigh bors followed his example. There are several other cases of the same charac ter in connection with burly looking negro deputy clerks ot Wake.

Lexington Dispa&h. The Populist and Republican lead ers, the bosses of their respective par ties, have agreed to fuse again in coun ties and districts. It is the same old cry "any thing to beat the Demo crats," even to supporting a negro for office to accomplish it. The Democrats will have to face the same old crowd that has been swapping and trading offices since the State was blighted with the new dispensation. Nothing more was expected of them, and their action has been anticipated for months. Durham Sun. It must be confessed even by the Republicans that the Russell adminis tration has laid itself "open to easy assault and that the mistake of putting large numbers of negroes in office has given an impluse to the issue of "white supremacy" that not only unifies the Democratic party into a solid mass but brings to it under this issue the sym pathy of many who had departed from it or others who now see vital cause for promoting its success. The records ol the Republican and Populist adminis tration will have the full light of - day turned on them and the verdict will be rendered in November. Durham Sun. There is enough to arouse the tax payers of the State to a determination to rescue her from the infliction of an other Legislature like the last, if by caurtesy much strained such a mob can be called a Legislature, for the people have bad to meet the extraordi nary appropriatiOES, as hard as the times were and are, made by these squanderers of the public funds, who spent in the three years they have had control nearly $400,000 more than the Democratic administration did in the three preceding years. This should be reason enough why the people should rise against them and rebuke thera for the trust they abused after making such fine promises of faithful and con scientious stewardship.
