There seems to be something
rotten in the banking business at
Asheville. Three banks have
failed there in ® short while, leav-
ing only one bank doing business
m the’city. Grave charges have
been lodged against the officers
of one of the broken banks.

In an interview in. Raleigh, the
other day, Harry Skinner said
that Otho Wilson has been
Marion Butler's slave. Now
Otho will be wanting to make it
hot for Harry when the next
Hayseeder comes around. The
Colonel also ‘ssid that Butler is
losing strength daily. If both of
them are not on their last legs so
far as influence and leadership
are concerned, then we are not a
good judge of the situation.

The penitentiary directors to-
day unsnimously decided that
Dr. Kirby Smith, son of the
superintendent, had been guilty
ofthe grossest immorality with
two of the female criminal insane;
that the charges against bim
were fully proved and that Dr.
‘George L. Kirby and Superin-
tendent Smith were commended
for promptly discharging him as’
supervisor. The board also de-
cided to place the penitentiary
absolutely in charge ofthe execu-
tive committee, composed of Di-
rectors Chadbourn, Martin and
Cotten, thus taking contro] entire
ly out of Superintendent Smith's
hands. Smith made no protest
but submitted to it all. He is
now only nominally the superin-
tenjent. His submission is all
that saved him, as but for this he
would have been deposed. All
the officials and employes who
haye their families in the peni:
tentiary are ordered to remove
them immediately. No bills are
to bo paid unless approved by
Chairman Dockery and two
executive committeemen. There
will be a complete overhauling
and a!lsurplus employes will be
dropped. It was decided that
the penitentiary should not be
leased, asthe general sentiment
in the State is strongly against
leasing. Chairman Dockery says
an excellent showing is made by
Superintendent Smith as to farm-
ing Operations and that after
paying the debts there will be
$25,000 surplus, putting cotton at
a basis of five cents, and that
-there will be also plenty of grain
and feed for another year. A
proposal from a Petersburg firm
_ for convicts to make shirts in the
penitentiary was referred to the
ommittee. It was decided that
ll incompetent employees should
_ bedropped and the penitentiary

railroad passes, is the weakest
effort of his life. Indeed, it could
hardly have cost him any effort
at all. We haye no sympathy
with the idea that every mau who
takes a railroad pess is necessa—-
rily a bad man and that, his ac-
ceptance of it is prima facie evi
dence of his corruption; but
when a man goes into a war upon
corporations for asteady business
he ought to decline tueir courte-
gies or at least make his organs

‘stop deslaring, from week {0

week, that acceptance of there
courtesies is proof that the men
is a hireling of the corporations.
What does the Governor say?
He says substantially that he
takes passes in order to get even
with Judge Simonton and other
people; that he has rendered no
equivalent for his transportation
and doesn’t intend to, but that he
proposes to beat the railroads
out of everything he can.

There is a legal maxim that an
accuser must himself come into
court with clean hande. His Ex-
cellency, the Governor, could
with better face, certainly with
much better effect, lodge his
charges against the railroads and
stand by seeing his newspaper
organs accuse men of corruption
in accepting passes, if he did not
himself have to confess that he
has a pocketful of them. His
ayowal that he knows that the|
roads are violating the law in the
giving of passes is an admission
that he is a party to their crime.
He simply has no ground at all to
stand on, and the tone of his in-
terview indicates that he realizes
this fact fully —Charlotte Obser~
ver.

A Kentucky Hermit.

At a wule gale at his farm, near
Bloomfield, Ky., Friday, Basil
Hayden sold fifty mules, which
brought an average price of $90
per head. The mule sale 18 of
some interest, but it is the least
interesting thing about Hayden,
who was a Confederate soldier in
the late war, has not been out-
side of his house since 1863—
though in perfect health—having
taken an oath that be would
neyer put bis foot on the grouud.
He says that the Lord treated
him harshly in allowing his
negroes to go free, and that ix.
revenge he will never place his
foot upon the Lord’s earth again.

He is a successful farmer not-
withstanding his many peculiari-
ties. He has kept his vow and
lived the life of a hermit since the
war. His landea interests are
extensize, but a competent over-
seer manages his farms and re-
ports to him in his indoor retreat.
Twice a year 4 Bardstown banke1
visits the home ot the recluse,
and then he settles his financial
matters with the outside world.

Greatest Ride in History,

A territory of 271,000 square
miles, comprising Washington,
Idaho and Oregon as they are
today, was saved to the Union by
one man. He had the courage
and heroism to ride on muletack
for three thousand miles. The
ride was thrilling, the triais ‘and
hardships marvelous, the result a
glorious one. The whole story,
beautiiully illustrated, will be
given in the November issue of
The Ladies’ Home Journal, under

the title, “When Dr. Whitman
Added Three Stars to our Flag,”
the closing and most intensely
‘interesting articie in the Joar-
nal’s successful series of “Grea

Let Us Organize

We see'on every side evidences

ponents of Democracy.
Butter has already put his forces
to work preparing for the cam~-
paign of 1898. The Republicans
are organizing @ young men’s

sionary work and incidentally to
look after the distribution of
spoils. Under these circumstan—
ces, the Democratic party cannot
afford to be idle. We look to see}
the State government wrested
from the incompetent hands that

pects for Democratic success are
bright, the desired end can be}
accomplished only by earnest,
active and persistent effort. The
people cannot be expected to
pass intelligently upon the issues
submitted to them unless they
are informed about the facts of
the political situation. Our party
press is doing its whole duty,
without fear or favor; day after
day and week after week, it is
holding up the Republican rec-
ord to the public gaze. The
triends and supporters of these
jousnals should labor to give
them a wide circulation. Never
throw away a Democratic news-

or neighbor to whom you can

knowing every voter in the State,
and how he is goimg to vote.—

Noble Old Negress Remembered.
An armful of magnificent roses
was carried away from a florist’s
one day last week in the carriage
of a grande dame whose name
everybody knows. An _ hour
afterward all that luxary of color
and perfume lay on a grave in an

the dead of African blood are
buried. It was the anniversary
of the burial of one of the noblest
women Washington ever leld.
Her name was Lizzie. She was
anegress and she had been a
slave. A few years before the
war she had bought herself from
her master, a Maryland gentle-
men, and, oddly enough bought
herself on credit, promising to
pay the $900 stipulated as soon
as she should be able to earn it.
She washed for “first ward” fam-
ilies and “quality folks.” The
war came. Her master lost
everything. She was free with-
out the payment of another pen
oy, but she did not choose to
think so. She paid the $900 and
the-interest on it. For several
years the washerwoman’s earn-
ings were almost the only sup-
port of her former master’s
family. Lizzie died on!y a few
years ago. In her last illness she
had all the care that gratitude
could conceive or money procure.
She died perfectly happy, and
not tie least factor of her happi-
ness was the anticipation of the
faneral with “quality folks” in
carriages following the hearse.
Every year some member of her
old master’s family makes & pil-
grimage to Lizzio’s grave and
carries roses—makes 4 pilgrimage
Isay, for if any spot is holy
ground, surely the resting place
of « heart like Lizzie’s is—Wash-
ington Post.

Touthorliy that the approaching
| municipal election in New York
\citr will be the most expensive

contest of the kind which has
ever taken place in the world’s
history.

Of course. this watemens ap-
plies not only to what may be
termed the legitimate machinery
of the election. but also to the
‘vast sums of money which the
various facticns contemplate
spending upon the purchase of
votes. (Qn account of the weighty

interest inyolved in the election
the temptation to empidy sordid
methods in order to win the fignt
is greater, perhaps, than ever
before; and consequently money
will be squandered without stint
at the polls.

Summing up in round numbers
the cost of the a; proaching mun-
icipal election in New York, one
autho~ity: fixes the amount at
$775,000.—Atlanta Constitution.

 

 

The State is Liable.

The supreme court says the
State is lable for the costs in
Pamlico oyster cases. Of these

dollars due the sheriff and clors.
Auditor Ayer does not see haw
he can issue a warrant for the
amount, and so will recommend
to the claimants that they appeal
relief.—

Wrong End Up.

M. Calino having taken a farm,
he is very caretul to instruct his as-
sistants to take the proper and sys-
tematic course in all they do. ‘Be
sure you begin your work at the
bottom,’’ is his favorite maxim, and
he repeats it whenever he sets his
men at work.

Lately he had occasion to dig a
well on the place and put to this
duty a couple of men experienced in
that line of work.

‘‘And besure,’’ he said to them
as they got their picks and shovels
ready, ‘‘that you begin your work
at the bottom.”’

M. Calino’s servants, a good woman,
to come running to him one day
with the announcement:

‘Quick, monsieur! Come here!
Your little Jean has fallen into the
ditch, and he’s into the mud up to
his ankles|”’

“Upto his ankles(’’ said Calino.
‘Why, that’s nothing,”’

“Oh, but I forgot to tell you,”
said the woman, ‘‘that he’s in head
first !’’—Youth’s Companion.

 

A Great Sign.

On a telegraph pole in the suburbs
of a New England village was tack-
ed this notice:

‘‘Lost.—Between here and the
postoffice, a real lady’s hair switch
black mixt with gray with shoe-
string tide around one end the

postmaster and git fifty cents with
thanks of owner who needs it badly | —
and will be thankful for the kind-
ness of any Lady or gent who will
return what cannot be of no use to
thém, but which is a needcessity to
her. ‘’—Harper’s Bazar.

 

Alaska’s Size.
‘Some idea of the size of Alaska
may be formed when it is known

| that it containg an area of 577,390

requare miles. This is more than
twice the area of Texas. Twelve
states the size of Pennsylvania could
be carved out of the territory of

 

Alaska, with enough left over to
make a state like South Carolina.
