Tuursvay., DECEMBER 9, 1897. een a 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 man’s 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 to the Democraiic party, the party that protects your home and stands tor good government and white supremacv ! - ¢ messrnnnersrtieenneneaen Nan Lhe reports for the current your to the State Labor Commis gioner show that the percentage of til! ble land is 52: the aver- age size of farms 1s 115 acres. average value of improved land $13.48, unimproved $5.52 ; that 41 per cent. of the land in the State is still timbered; that hired Jaborers on farms are employed on an average of Seven months in the year, receiving in summer $7.81 per month, and in winter 06. As tothe fertility of the a, soil being maintained, 42 coun- ties repert favorably, 18 unfavor- ably ; as to reclamation of jJand by ditching or terracing $3 report favorably, six unfavorably; as to labor, 33 that it is abundant, 14 that it is scarce; 37 report that laborers can ueually tind employ- ment all the year, 24 that they cannot ; 44 report the educational condition of working people to be iraproving, 15 that it is not; 42 report their moral condition a3 improving, while 18 say it 1# -Inot; 40 report their religious condition as improved, while 19 declare that it is not. Under the head of “accidents to persons” the Hendersonville & Brevard Railroad reports “three hogs, two heifers and one steer” as killed. ‘his report is made to the rail- road commission- —_—" el em 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 “a first- class system in every Way and will give the very best service. ’ 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 “as 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 a Phone that bears jt ?—Char- 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 “ner 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. emesis cmon Mr. Tillery’s 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. Tillery’s 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. Tillery’s farm.
