People, Neo every man that you meet on the "streets of Wilmington is -today wearing a tag that was tied there by a member of the Loyal Boys Club who are working ii the interest of the improvement of the Robert Stranger Playgrounds. , The boys and the girls who are tagging people on the streets are not asking for any spe cified amount, but take what they receive and say, "Thanks.'.' Before "Tag Day" was instituted a good-sized amount had been raised for the purpose of the improvements and it is thought that when today's canvass is over that the amount will have doubled. The cardboard tags with the in scription. "I Am For Children's Play grounds," is much in evidence and hardly a man has been missed by the enthusiastic workers who; have the improvements of the playground in charge. - : J "V .

FOR TWO DECADES FUGITIVE FROM, JUSTICE (Special to The Dispatch.) Raleigh, N. C., Sept.- 2. Andrew Wise, alias Andrew Jackson, a Bun combe county manT charged with the killing of John C. Rogers in 1872, must come hack to North Carolina and stand trial for murder. The prisoner, Who has been dead as a citizen two and one-fifth times as long as Rip Van Winkle, has been caught in West Virginia. He will get back to North Carolina with many advantages which an early trial might have denied him. The original indict ment has been lost and the grand jury must again present him. In 1872 S. L., Rogers made' the complaint and it is presumed that S. L. Rogers is a member of the family. Who of the witnesses, material then, will be avail able for the trial now, does not ap pear today. No such case as this has been tried in North Carolina in a great many years. No Asheville person now here appears to have a very Interest ing recollection of the homicide. The original warrant, 44 years old, is said to be in existence. The State chartered the Der Fur niture Manufacturing Company of Lincolnton, a $50,000 corporation, which begins business with $27,000. D. E. Rhyne, R. C. . Baker, K. L. Lawing, .-Plato. Mill ff and several others bf Lincbliaton are the incorpo rators. The period of its existence is 6a years. 7?' - MUCH INTEREST IN LINNEY'S SPEECH TODAY (Special to The Dispatch.) Raleigh, Sept- 2.

Linney, Republican candl-, date for- Governor, sneaks a week following the Democratic candidate; Attorney-General "Bickett. Republicans have been pretending a great deal that they desire a meet ins of the two candidates because they believe that Linney is Bickett's match on the stump nd would up hold well their complaint against the Democracy. They xdo, not pretend tot think that Lfnheyis Pickett s equal as orator ot wit but . to divert the Democratic candidate .from such a persuasive discussion of National is sues for an hour and a half and to make him speak half an hour each on State and National issues with half of that time taken up in the fool ishness of joint debate, would be good campaign generalship-for the Repub licans. Mr. Linney has not sought the joint campaign. , He, like his oppo nent, has his own way of appealing to the people and his discussion of State affairs would be fearfully shot up by Bickett. They will not meet for that very reason.- Linney doesn't hope to be elected and : he can at best bring about a few legislative addi tions which will make the parties nearer equal in the general assembly.

Interest and convenience. For it Is their emancipation that they are seeking blindly. It may be, and as yet ineffectually, but with profound and passionate purpose and within their un questionable right, apply what true American principle you will any prin ciple that an American would publicly avow. The people of Mexico have not been muttered to own their own. country or direct their own Institutions. Outsid ers, men out of other nations and with interests too often alien to their own, have dictated what their. privileges and opportunities, should be and who should control their land, their lives and "their resourcessome of them Americans.

The people of the United Stateir are capable of great' sympathies . and: a noble pity in dealing with problems j of this kind. As. their spokesman and representative I have tried to act in the spirit they would wish me show. The people of Mexico are striving for the rights that are fundamental to life and happiness- 15,000.000 oppressed men; overburdened Vwomen and pitiful children in virtual; bondage in their own home of fertile lands and inex haustible treasure. Some of the lead ers of the : revolution may often have been mistaken and violent and selfish; but the revolution itself was inevitable and is' right. The Unspeakable Huerta betrayed the very comrades he served, traitorously "overthrew the govbrnment of which he : was a trusted part, im pudently spoke for the very forces that had driven his people to the rebellion with which:' he bad pretended to sym pathize. The men who overcame him and drove him out represent at least the fierce passion of reconstruction which lies at the very ieart of liberty, ! and so long, as they represent, how ever imperfectly, such a struggle for deliverance I am ready to serve their ends when I can.
