SUPPOSED SPEECH OF COL. j DCCKERT, j I ' 'bllow Citizens: I am a North Carolinian, bred and , born on Jthe Pee Dee, but as my distinguished friend and brother Radical, Judge Russell, says, I am a Southern man with Northern principles. 1 1 believe inthe North. The Northern peojrte are smarter, cuter folks than jthe Southern aristocrats, whom 1 hate, are, or the poor white trash eitier fr whom I have no great fondness, as shown in my votes. I am prlud of the North. They managed to make the Southern slave owners toil for them before the war. Tiey Knew now to do it. They went to; manufacturing everything South ' needed and they them getting the products the Sold of the j farm in payment. They were first opposed to a Tariff. YiW ster, the great New England Whig leader, was first anti-Tariff. But he was Bmart. He saw the true waV to make New England rich was to have a law enacted for its especial benefit. This law was called a Protective Tariff. It levied a bountv on! tha Southern planters and tax-payer for ine oenent and enrichment of New England manufacturers the It was a law that was sure to eive con trol of the country m the end to jthe Plutocrats. All that was neoesaarv to make the South forever tributary to the North was to start the-Tanff'land gradually ind unerringly increase it uuwi u got to be 45 or 50 per cent That. ' . 1 U. ""cuuvu 01 a cunning v.-.u Buoceeaea. It is a certain resultant of an indirect tax thai! j the people submitting to it will bi re duced to vassalage and mendicancy. As an able Northern writer says in the New York Times-. pape'r I once liked, but it is- too Democratic ior me now so I say: j J. eAUtoryof bl0dy atrugL esof mankind to secure the undisturbed meat of their natural rightepro Tth T wostpotentweapontoemplortoreSucemJn STert7 Bnd 8UbjectionisanaaS3e iaed system of taxation- And thiVi Z g25f andH" greater is the daneer. tn th m,..jrr "? ttrpCAKKf m.toi.fai v y iiueruesanfi I wolf. .v. ana claim AA.iT. t www ua tne ! ruling I of thn fn. k - ."m,ue ue nower spoils to control tbrwlrtdorhS" elas.ffla "kt t - J : .it il:. XT i. oooiea sucn a eooeme, cunningly ae- vised and bo exquisitely dovetailed I and jointed. It has panned out just I as they supposed and planned.! The i indirect tax has done the work most efficiently. The South for J thirty years has been bound hand and foot. The slavery is complete. ' Nabobs and Plutocrats and Monopoly are all on top. While Carnegie s workmen half starve he draws his $5,000 a day. The earnings of the whole people find their way into the pockets of the sharp, intellectual, calculating, smart Northern capitalist. I like it. bellow citizens, another reason why I am a man with Northern prin ciples, and which should commend mo in a very especial manner to your kind consideration and warm support, is, that the North, by the aid of Europe and Afrioa, was able to whip the South. . This was right eously done, and in accord with the eternal fitness of things. The war freed my good friend. Judge Bus- selrs "thieves" and "savages ' as it ought to have done, and. it is an other feather in the Northern cap. They started put, they said, not to free the negro, but they did it, and I am so glad that I have been one of the "nigger party" evei since. and I never fail to vote for one against a white man every ohance I get. . Fellow-citizens, I am not known in the Pee Dee country as a man of em inent piety. I -cannot say that my calling and election is sure either for the Governor's Chair or the mansions above, but in sentiment, education and sympathy I am a Baptist, and my honored father was a prominent member of . that respected body of Christians. For this reason I think all of that persuasion and order ought to vote for me for a political office. It would be very agreeable to my feeliDgs and would show thatr my predictions are appreciated and my piety properly estimated. This is ODe of my best campaign cards and I hope I shall not play it fn vain. This mixing of the language of the tiger's den with the sanctities of religion is not exactly the1 thing, but much will be forgiven because these are cam paign times, j I - I I : I come nowj my countrymen, to a very important point I am a farmer. I amnot one of those "blarsted" law yers for whom I have such an unmiti gated contempt unless he J wears a dark skin and a woolly head. I am a farmer. My life has been devoted to cultivating the land--"in the shade." I have never "been able to make two blades grow where only one flourished, but I have eung the song of the ploughman but hare never done much ploughingl I have held that j "He wbo by the plough would thrive uimseir must either hold or drive." I have done the driving Now I am clearly of the opinion I that the country will not thrive j unless a farmer is Governor. I believe that inasmuch as the farmers are the true basis of prosperity that their interests should be especially protected. Hence I am in favor of two things 'above all oiners. 1 favor the election of a farmer as Governor and I am in favor of protecting the farmer. I As to the first, I being a farmer have a right to call upon the farmers for support. I especially call UDOn the Farmers' Alliance to rally to my standard. If Mr. AlATnrfr hA UWVfc been the Democratic nominee instead of Judge Fowle, I should not have opposed him. Younow j my life, how unselfish it has blen, how con sistent and beautiful, and you know I am incapable of making a statement like this unless I mean all I sav. I could never j think of opposine a farmer for anything, and bo I shall vote for farmer Sanderlin, Democrat as he is for State Auditor. The Farmers Alliance can trust me in this sympathy and partiality ex pressed for Alexander, as jit is so much like me and my publio record. The other point is to protect the farmer. It is true that the War Tariff has not made him thrive as was expected. The .farmers have been IflSfl tfiriftlT nn1n. .L- T-'.

It is a blessed principle wisely ap plied, nomeopathio doses will not do. It requires heroic treatment, and of the most radical Aliopathio kind. The Tariff has been too low. If, instead of a very moderate, low tax of only $47.10 on the $100, there had been an average of $60 the cure would have been complete. So sat isfied is the Republican narty that heroic treatment can alone save the country, and that of course means the farmers as they are the base of all prosperity, they resolved for Higher Ptotection, for more taxation, m the National Convention that met at Chicago in June.

But I dwell not on this line, as it reminds me that I and brother .

Brother Walker attends to that issue, in this canvass. Bat we are very good friends and understand each other. Fellow-citizens, I am in favor of paying the "fraudulent tax bonds," as they are miscalled, for they are, you must remember, "your bonds." It will contribute great wealth of the didate for the Vice- to the already Republican can 'residency, who is interested in the payment of those bonds to $9,000,000. the ! amount of some Fellow-citizens, I am a North Car olinian by birth, j I lam not proud of it. The old State has always been behind hand, except in 1868-9, when my party voted J away some thirty millions of the people's money. It was fast enough! just then. I have always hated the very name of De mocracy - a Government of the peo ple and for the J people and by the people. 1 have always favored a strong centralized Government. I have great symyathy with big ideas and grand methods. 1 I believe in a Parental Government in making the States provinces and the Federal Power everything. I show this in being suoh a staunob, unfaltering Republican. I supported Grant and justified all he did. I stood by Holden in the most critical period of this State, and I rejoiced when that old British relict, the Habeas Corpus writ, was spat upon 'and crushed. Bat my time is up. ' North Caro linian, patriot, statesman, farmer and financier, I have upon the people. peculiar olaims If I am elected Governor I will take the Republican chart as mine. I shall endeavor to the utmost extent of my ability to build up the Republican party in North Carolina. To that end I shall try to undo all that! the Democrats have done. I shall shut up the Uni versity or open it to negroee. I Bhall oppose taxation for. common sohool purposes, and shall try to have all asylum contributions greatly reduced.

The following frpm the Scottish Chief, published a,t j Red Springs, Robeson county, will be read with in terest by hundreds' of relatives and friends of the McRae familv in this city and section: . After the close i'of the R s Revolutionary troubles occurred the following inci- dent: Malcom McNeill. Esn.. a visit to James Black, who, hearing a call, espied a gentleman and lady on horseback. "Come in," said Black. "No," the gentleman replied; "Chris tian Black and myself have concluded to get married, and we are looking for Malcom McNeill, the Justice, to perioral me ceremony." The couple dismounted, and in Black's house the marriage ceremony j was performed in a few minutes, and the happy pair went on their Jway rejoicing. The gentleman was Colin McRae, the father of General Alexander McRae. of Wilmington. . Colin McRae died in 1865, at the great age of 95 years. His father, Rod erick McRae, emigrated from Inverness-shire in Scotland, and settled on Beep River, in Chatham county. His wife's maiden name was Burke. She made an unsuccessful attempt to res cne her relative, Gov. Baike. from Ool. David Fannine- whilAtho avroi.. nor was being conveyed a prisoner to Wilmington. Major Alexander Mc Rae, of the Confederate Artillery, was the oldest son of Colin McRae, and was the oldest officer in the Confede rate Army. On account of his great age he was placed on detached service by &en. Bragg to keep him out of the uttl ot. BentonvUle.

Final Tearor tba Plaa straw Bacclac If Ooea Thronsli tbe Conpreaa Unaeatbed' AM la Prononneed Eqaal to Jntm Badnc As heretofore announced, a bale of new cotton covered ; with pine-fibre bagging manufactured by the Acme ALanuiaocuring company, was re ceived here some days since. - The cotton was raised by Mr." D.'P.: Mc Kinnon and was ginned and packed by Mr. M.' M. McKinnon, both of Richmond county.! Naturally, in con sequence of the determined efforts of the planters to find 'some means of circumventing the "Bagging Trust," this bale of cotton attracted a great deal of attention. It was soon de cided that the pine-fibre bagging would not stain! the cotton and that it was less inflammable than jute. But the most trying ordeal, that of testing its ability to withstand the terrible squeeze of the oompresjs, had A. - X 1 ...9 7 . ni a - yet 10 ue passea, xnis trial was made, yesterday, and the annexed certificate shows the verdict: ! Copy. Champion Compress and v . Warehouse Company. WrxMiNOTON, N. C, Sept. 5, 1888J This is to certify, that a bale of cotton covered with pine straw bae ging, manufactured-by the "Acme Manufacturing Co.," of this city, was this day compressed by this Com pany and stood the test equally as well as jute, and we are unable to see any difference between the merits of enner Dagging, Jute or fibre. rsicmedl E. J. PRNirrPACiniR- President Champion C. and W. H. Co.' niB wouia seem to settle every point in favor of the pine-straw bag ging as a substitute for jute except the cost, which, of course, must be made sufficiently low to enable it to compete with the latter. The Acme Company, with the ex ception of some sample lots, will not place their bagging npon the market this season. They have received many orders, to be filled within thir ty and sixty days, but they are not prepared now to supply a large de mand; and, moreover. Mr. William Latimer, the public-spirited President of the Company, thinks it would re- suit in loss both to the farmers and the business men of Wilmington if the farmers should hold their cotton until their orders for bagging could be filled. In the meantime, the Acme company will continue the experi ments now in progress with a cheap er fibre Jthan that heretofore used, and ir their expectations in this di rection are realized, as they confi dently believe, the pine-fibre will be on tne market next season as a for midable rival of the jute bagging. The plant of the company will be en larged, and they will be prepared to supply the planters with that which they are now so earnestly seek ing, a formidable weapon for war fare on the "Trust." lhe following extract from the Charleston News and Courier, will be read with interest in connection with the foregoing : xnere was very little talk about jute Dagging yesterday at the Ex- cnaage. 1 here was, however, a good deal said about the raIo nt nin straw bagging, which is now on exhibition in tne counting j room of the News ana uouner. none of the exporters or factors wouia express any opinion, however. as to its merits, for the reason that tney say it is but an experiment which must first undergo a practical test in the compress.

He. was in company with John Farrow and Linn McKinnev in a whale-boat, fishing, when the boat was capsized by a squall. The sea was rough and Mr. McKin ney and John Farrow, who were expert swimmers, advised William Farrow to remain with the boat, while they would swim ashore and get another boat and return and take him off. The tide was making in and there was no danger of the boat and young Farrow being carried out to sea. The two men swam to the shore, which they reached with con siderable difficulty, and on landing found that William Farrow had also made the venture and was battlins- with the waves. They watched him with breathless anxiety until he dis appeared from sight. During the afternoon the boat was washed ashore, but although an anx ious search has been kept up for the body of young Farrow, no trace of it had been found up to yesterday.

It was under stood with Surgeon-General Hamilton at yesterday's conference, that the Govern ment will pay fori certain sanitary work, but not ror nurses, provisions and physi cians for the sick who are unable to pay these charges themselves; and for this and for the genejal relief of the thousands now out of employment, and who cannot be accommodated in adequate camps of refuge, it was decided this morning by the executive committee of the Citizens' Asso ciation, in conference with the Board of Health and the acting Mayor, to issue the following appeal: 1 'To our friends and fellow citizens of the United States: We, the authorized representatives of the citizens of Jackson ville, recognizing the fact that the epi demic has now I reached such a stage that our own: funds are insuffi cient either to cope with the many cases of absolute necessity, for the engagement of nurses or for numerous other demands upon us; and whereas, owing to the absence of all business many of the most liberal citizens are unable to furnish further funds, we now think we are Justified in ac cepting the many willing offers received from you. We, therefore, wish our fellow citizens of the United States to know that we will gratefully receive the aid they have offered, and that any contributions will be used for the benefit of those in need, and where they will effect the greatest good.! We request that any such contributions may be forwarded to James M. linmuii i President ot the First National Bank and Chairman of our Finance Commlttiw. i "Signed, Neal Mitchell, President of the "aTwi uouniy uoara or Health; D.

Before the firemen could get to work an explosion of fire works wrecked the building and caused the flames to spread with alarming rapidity to tne arug nouse or J. H.

' Scarcely had the firemen entered the edi flee occupied by the drug house when the inside of the building seemed to suddenly drop in. A terriflo explosion followed, and the immense building collapsed. The en tire fire department had by this time reached the scene, and as the attention of the men waa concentrated on the building uader which their comrades were burled, the names nau a cnance to spread, and spread they did with frightful rapidity. In an in creaibiy short space of time the entire block, ) running from Lombard to Pratt street, was a seething mass of flame. At the drug house the firemen worked bravely. Holes were cut through the pave ment, ana every effort made to reach the imprisoned men, but they were buried under a great mass of brick and iron, and the fierce flames were roaring around the ;8pot. - (Awful groans came from the pile.
