We are told that a number of beys, some of them nearly grown, were guilty of some very ugly and ungentlemanly behavior while bathing in the river, just below town, Wednesday afternoon. Some ladies were being brought In a row boat to Greenvilie from their home a few miles down the river. When they had approach- el near epough to see that boys were in bathing between them and the wharf their boat was stopped and word sent up to the boys to please withdraw from the river until they could pass. The boys not only refused to comply with this request but began to make such indecent exposure of themselves that the ladies had to leave their boat and walk neariy a mile through fields in order to reach town. S ch conduct on the part of the boys was disgraceful. & Word to the Boys, If you have anything to do, do it at once. Don’t sit down in the rocking chair and lose three quar- ters of an hour dreading the job. Be sure that it will seem ten times harder than it did at first. Keep this motto: Be on time, in small things as well as zreat. Habit is everything. The boy who is behind time at breakfast and school, will be sure to get “left” in the important things of life. Be a power in your own little world and depend upon it, then, the big world will hear from you some day. The Weather’s Own Way. Ain’t it fanny, the-kind of items the newspaper folks print some- time?

Justice Avery concurs in the dissent, but the fasionists agree and there- fore the law cannot be reviewed : afd any court. _~ “[his case resembles much that of Carr vs. Coke, at this term, an investigation of the same fraud being asked, and itis unnecessary to repeat the reasons given in the dissenting opinions filed in that case. In this case the plaintiffs rclaim under an assignment exe cuted i im accordance with the laws retofore in force in this State d which legislature after legis- ‘e, including the present one, g declined to alter. The plain- contend that such assign- nt is valid, and that their ts are noi affected by the pre- ad “assignment law” whieh eing defeated on its pas— a the present General As- y was surreptitiously fraud- “Lovsimgias to be signed by lec practiced on the 3 = a 2 [Speakers The. ‘actin was” dis- returned from =Mexico --op- a. missed below on the ground that, taking the allegations to be true —and indeed they were not seri- er, |Opely coéntroverted on’ the ‘argu- |ment—the Court had no jurisdic— ition to right this great whoag on fraud. Tt ‘would seem that certainly the Speakers of the two Houses should Lave been allowed to- tes- tify that. thig fraud had beeu practiced on them and that their signatures had not been know- ingly and intentionally placed to a bill which they Knew.--had not been passed, but which had been defeated. Fhis was due to them, itp the Legislature and to the peo- ple. The people are entitled, as a saeredjand inviolable right, to be- governed ty no laws» save those enacted by their represen- jtatives duly and legally assem- bled. Theact of a corrupt and ‘hiredwillain, whose preper place is in the penitentiary, should by no process of reasoning or re- finement of logic be imposed on the people, in express contradic. sion to a vote of their General Asssmby. The power of. consoli- dated, wealth, acting through the channel of a purchased and _hire- ling lobby, is a growing evil ino all American legislation.- The solemu and unmistakable issue in this case, brushing aside all teci- nicalities, is simply this: Shall the law be what the representa- tives of the people declare it shall be, or shall the will of pow- ertul and menacing combinations of capital acting through the lobbyists, with which they every where assail legislatiye action, override and be substituted for the popalar will? To a fearful extent this has beeu the result in Congress and in many State leg- islatures, but by more devious methods. This is the first in— stance in which ‘one of these combinations, failing to secure its end by infiuencing legislation in thé usual mode, has boldly: and cynically defied the action of the General Assembly and set aside its negative vote by fraudulently substitutang | the defeated bill as & @énuine one, and procuring the! . unintentional signatures of the Speakers. Forthe first time in American histery accumulated capital aad its “hirélings have dared to take so bold a step. We are asked to say that such have “no power to call the legislature to gether, and they may be unable to satisty the Govervor that their wrongs, great as they are, are suf- ficient to-tax the public with the expensive precedent of . re-sum- mouing the legislature whenever the fraud of a lobbyist is discov ered. There isan easy, a cheap and speedy remedy by setting aside the signatures, as _— fraud- ulent, apon the testimony of. the Speakers to that effect and the verdict of a jury» Uponthe ver- dict of ajury, every man is de- pendent for the protection of hig property, his reputation, his ilb* erty aud his life. Surely it is a compatent tribunal to decide whether the signatures to a piece of- paper were knowingly and in- tentionally affixed by the Speak- ers with the assent of their . re— spective Houses, or whether the bill had been defeated on its - at- temptea passage and notwith standiug such defeat the signa- tures and certificate of ‘he Speak: ers had been thereafter procured by a hold and shameless fraud: Reduced to ite last analysis, the question 1s simply whether Leg- islaturers shal legislate, and whether. time honored institution. of “twelve guod men and true” shall be:tensted to declare, upon the testimony of the presiding of- ficers of the two Houses, that a gross frand was. perpetrated on them in procuring their signa- tures toa bill which had not been enacted by the two Houses, but had beer tabled. It-is not an occasion when pub- li¢ policy or individnal rights can tolerate the suppression of an in- vestigation. The investigation should be full, free and searching. “The lights should be tarned on,” not off. Nothiog that 1s honest and pure and of-cood repute, need fear. an investigation. Others have no claim to be pro tected from it.” 7 Avery, Jd. concurs ip this diasent. eee DEATA UF DR. C, T. BAILEY. Rev: Dr. C. T. Batley died at his residence in this city -yester- day morning: at 8 o'clock, aged 60 years. Dr. Bailey was-one of the in the State. He wae for nearly Comte p besa twenty years editior of the Bidli- —_— bal Kaabii the fadibg Baptist journal of the State, and one of the foremost expuxuents of that de- nomination in the Soath He was an able, original and interesting writer and nado of the Aecorder a great pewspaper as well as u popular denominational vorgau. He occupied a bigh piace in tire councils of his church, and was a safe. conservative and wise leader. During his twenty years resi- dence in Raleigh he endeared himself to onr people generally, aad was held in the highest es- teem by them. He was a pro- found thinker, a scholar, an able preacher, a fearless, pungent, in- teresting editor, an honest, up-— right man and a genial amiable friend and neighbor. Dr. Bailey was borp 1n Williamsbarg, Va.

Fiom bere he weat to Warrenton, and was pis- tor of the Baptist Church there, when calfed'to. the editorial chair of the Biblical Recorder. He was avery charmiug man, was full of good humor and good cheer. It was his nature to look on the bright side of life, and although his latter days have been filled with inténse suffering, he has born, these sufferings with Chris - tian fortitude and characteristic patience. Dr. Bailey was stricken with paralysis on March 6, 1892, from which he never fully recovered althoagh up to a year ago he was able to look after his work. Dur- iag the past year he has been gradually growing weaker, and the fact that his valuable life was fast ebbivg awav has been known to his family and friends for several months. ‘The end came yesterday morning aud one ofthe brightest ininds went out, one of the noblest hearts ceased beating aud one of the States best citizens was no more.
