THE FRUIT OF FUSION.
ean REN
A horrible story comes from
Pamlico county. as published in
the Raleigh News and Observer
ofthe lst. A man who was for-
merly a Democrat became dissat-
isfied with his condition and,
under promise of office, fell an
easy prey to the Populists. He
was giyon & nomination on the
fusion ticket, but it developed
afterwards that the negroes of
his county were opposed to him
avd were making threats to scratch
him off the ticket when they
went to vote.
He set to work to reconcile this
opposition, and a negro tenant on
his farm, who was somewhat of a
leader among the negroes, was
taken into his confidence and put
to work in his behalf. In order
to ingratiate himself in the favor
of this negro tenant the latter
was accorded the privilege of
gleeping in his home and eating
at his table.
This man had an only daughter,
an attractive girl of 16. At first
she did not like the negro being
in their home but had to submit
to it. The only idea her father
geemed to have was getting the
Office, regardless of consequences,
and the protection of his daugh-
ter gave him no concern. He
got the office, and the News and
Observer says there 1s also a
muiatte gvandsop in his home of
which this negro tenant 1s the
father.
Horrible, shameful picture to
look upon, yet it is a fruit of the
social equality that such political
fusion begets. Is it not enough
to stir the blood in every white
manTs veins, and cause those who
bave been aiding such @ party a»
bas brought shame and disgrace
npor the State to forever aban-
don it? White men, come back

party that protects your home
and stands tor good government

Our Scotland Neck special yes-
terday mentioned that a tele-
phone system is being installed
in that town ang that the promise
is given that it will be oa first-

will give the very best service. T
This leads to the observation that
quite a number of the small towns
ef the State have telephone sys-
tems, a8 good in all respects oas
those of the large towns, and
that they get the service at the
rate of $12 and $15 per month,
while the larger towns pay double
as much, and more. What ad-
vantage have the latter ? and whv
snould these things be so? Is
there any peculiar magic in the
name of Bell that makes it worth
double price to talk or listen over

lotte Obseryer.
Is not the Observer mistaken
in its figures? Does it mean to
say that people in some of the
larger towns haye to pay more
than $12 to $15 oner month� for
the use of telennones? Green-
ville has as good a telephone
exchange ag any town in the
State, and in addition to the local
gervice gives its subscribers the
benefit of communication with
most of the neighboring towns,
and the cost is only $2 per month,
for business houses and $1.50 per
month for private residences.

Mr. TilleryTs Proposition.
tect tae
Mr. J. R. Tillery. of Tillery, has
made a proposition to the State
to lease his farm of 1,800 acres
cleared land on what seems ~a
liberal basis. Mr. ~Tillery. pro-
poses to furnish land, teams, all
farming equipments, engines and
boilers and gins, hay presses,
houses for the supervisors and
guard, quarters for the convicts
ard share with the State half of
the groes proceeds of the farm.
His proposition means that
there would be a new farm en-
tirely distinct from «uy other
farm now beipg operated by the
State.
Mr. TilleryTs farm is one of the
best along Koanoke river, andis
every foot free from overflow,
the highest freshet known lacking
three feet of coming over the
land."Scotland Neck Common-
wealth.
Mr. R. RB. Cotten, one of the
directors of the penitentiary,
went to Tillery today to meet
with some others of the directors
and examine Mr. TilleryTs farm.

the negroes have a large majority

A trastworthy messenger was

Object Lesson to Farmers.
There are some few farmers to
be found who make an indepen-
dent living despite the hard times
and the low price of cotton. One
of them is Mr. Thomas Ritter, of
(artexTs Mills, this county. Mr.
Kitteris 56 years of age and has
a fimilv of fourteen children.
He has farmed all his life and has
never bought a bushel of corn, a
pound of Lacon, a pound of flour
or a pound of anything else that
can be raised on the farm, but
has always kept these things on
hand for sale. He has never
owed any mana cent and never
buys anvthing from the stere
except 20ffee and sugar and such
other things as he canTt raise at
home. He has fat hortses, hogs,
cows and pcultry and his table is
always furnished with the very
best that a good farm can fur-
nish. He raised one bale of cot-
ton this year and says that it
makes but little difference with
him whether it is five or ten cents
acpound. Mr. Ritter reads the
newspapers aud keeps well posted
in regard to current topics. The
sec.et of his success as a
farmer is that he iises all bis
own supplies and pays little at-
tention to cotton. The country
would be better off if we had
more farmers like Mr. Riter He
has a brother wbo b:s been
equally as successful as a tarmer.

Constitutional Government In Japan.
Constitutional government was
established in Japan in 1890. It was
the direct result of the promise
made by his majesty and was a spon-
taneous gift of some of the imperial
powers'and prerogatives to the peo-
ple. Steps had been taken previous-
ly to pave the way for the adoption
of parliamentary institutions by ex-
tending the rights and privileges of
the people, most notably by the cre-
ation of the prefectural assemblies,
which exercise a certain degree of
control over local affairs. Whether
or not such measures were of essen-
tial value it is not necessary to in-
quire in this place. In any case it
can now be truthfully stated that
parliamentary government in Japan
has passed the experimental stage
and is established among the per-
manent institutions of the land. Of
' course this has not been accomplish-
ed without friction between the ex-
ecutive and legislative branches of
the government. Political storms
rage in Japan just as in other coun-
tries, but the new institutions have
stood the strain of all conflicts.
Every such struggle has been car-
provisions. The constitution is re-
vered by the people as the founda-
tion of the self government gracious-
ly conferred upon them by their
sovereign, and its mandates are uni-
vereally regarded as sacred and in-
Magazine.
