I DOCKERY'S BEJOBD.
Col. Dockery'a politioal record is
beinT very thoroughly overhauled.
One of the most competent writers
in the State is leisurely and thor
oughly bringing out the ohief facts
ia the Fee Dee shade-farmer's ugly
political record. "We are glad if
this and not because we have the

committed to three things that ought

tician. What are. they ? Atte
I. He favors the abolition of the
present system of County Gbyern
meat upon which really depends the
protection of the whites.
j 2. He favors the payment of; the

evil ana ram, destroying commerce
and the merchant marine, and crea
ting a few hundred thousand million
aires and plutocrats to corrupt the
conntrv and lord it over GodVsheri-
These three things are enough to
jblast his prospects and to consign
him to tbe errovea and fields of . Ithe
iPee Dee. .
But Dbckery's record in the past
.. B 1 I
Daa, very baa. sso man ever uvea
m North Carolina who showed more
dislike for the negro than be did.
His record just here would make
Win very offensive to any race upon
1
earth but the negro race. We heard
ll intimated by an intelligent colored
man that Judge Russell's description
of the negro was all right -:"savage''
and "thieves." So Dockery' coarse
towards free neeroes and slaves
in the past gives' no j offence

loves him better because before' the
war he showed his intolerance of

nold up the hands that struck them.
Now let us turn to his record prior
to
the war on the negro question.
atua-j see how Dockery felt
and
acted in the "piping times of peace.'.'
We referred recently to the abound
'g ready-made editorials and we
?aid that when we used them or any
part of them we would give due
credit. Col. W. L. Saunders is do-
ig serviceable work in preparing
sleets containing discussions of im
portant questions for North Carolina
voters. An experienced and I able
joamaliat, with leisure to investigate
and elaborate, he has sent out al
ready articles that are being well
osedaod well read. We copy the
following concerning Dockery apd
me negroes:
''But to Colonel Dockery'a record,
In the Legislature of 1858 -'59, j in the
House of Commons, a bill was introduced
'to remove free persons of color from the
State ' Thn nhWt nf th hill M in nlaln
from its title, was to get rid of all free ne
roee. The indefinite postponement of tbe
hill was moved, which, if done, would kill
'he bin. The yeas and nays were called
ana motion to indefinitely postpone was
carried, thereby killing the bill. But Oli
II. Doekeru voted aaainst voetoonement.
oee House Journal, oaees 88. 452 and 458.
la the same Legislature, in the House of
jjommona, a bill was introduced to enforce
ne collection of debts from free negroes.'
w this bill was a provision to put up free
negroes to public hire for five years or less
""Practically a sale for the term for which

ao much for Dockerv and free negroes.
Now for Dockery and slaves.
"in me House of Commons of the same
Legislature a bill was introduced 'to pre
vent the emancipation of slaves by will.'
A motion was made to kill the bill by lay
ing it upon the table. Dockerv voted against
the motion. A motion was made to insert
in the bill a provision authorizing free ne
groes to become slaves, and Dockerv voted
for the motion, and when the bill came up
jor we mown, ana wnen the dm came up I
on Its final, passage it was defeated; but
pages 229, 497, 498, 499 and BOO. V
'To sum it all no in a few words, then.
Dockery was quite willing to make slaves
of free negroes, but utterly unwilling to
make free men of slaves; now free negroes
are his chosen allies. Verily, water is not
the only thing that will find its level, for
Dockery has found his. But what a level 1

A WORD OR TWO.
Severalof . our Democratic State
contemporaries are literally - "pitoh.
ing into" the Stab for questionihg the
triumph of Fowle over Dockery at
Monroe. What are the facts?- Rev.
Mr. Law, a man of decided ability,
a strong: editor, a sound Democrat,
wrote a f oar and a half column re
port for his paper, the Charlotte
Chronicle. ' It was an outline report
of what was said. We read it care
fully and came to the conclusion that
it was no discussion at all, as the
speeches of the two candidates might
bave been just as well delivered a
thousand miles apart as at the same
place on the same day, barring a few
personalities. ; We judged by what
we read.' We had a right to do-so.
Because we did not stultify ourselves,
swear Fowle had made a oomplete
reply and gained a great triumph we
are set upon by several newspapers
and even oar Demooiacy questioned,
and that looby youths who were hard
ly born when we were fighting De
mocratic battles. According to some
of these censors a man must blow and
exaggerate for his candidate or he is
unsound and not to be trusted. Fowle
mayor may not be tbe master of
Dockery in debate, bat we Bay it
quite deliberately that the report in
the Chronicle, read carefully, does
not necessarily establish" that fact.
We hope be is a better debater than
Dockery. But such truculent and
personal criticism as' that in the Caw-
casian will not silence honest opinion
nor make ns afraid to write what toe
conceive to be the truth. Our Democ
racy will at least compare with that
of our assailants. The Stab has up
held the cause of the people for near
ly twenty one years, in the Presiden
tial campaigns of 1868, 1872, 1876,
1880, 1884, and it is not idle or in
different in 1888. Ita real friends are
satisfied with its labors. It is just
such attempts to dragonade and bull-'
doze and prevent a full and an hon
est expression of opinion that has
brought North Carolina under disre
pute abroad as being a State not yet
educated up to toleranoe of opinion.
Bigotry, intolerance and proscription
have no terror for any honest man or
conscientious journalist.
This attempt to stop free thought
and free speech is ridiculous even in
campaign times, we do not reply
to our; 'various critics because it is
campaign times and we do not wish
to be drawn off into an useless dis
cussion that already is personally of
fensive. We have more important
game than to turn upon our pur
suers.; We are after the .Money
Devil, Plutocrats, Dockery and the
Walker crowd Bat we say this, we
have aright, and we, will exercise it
at oar discretion, to estimate publio
men as we see them, and to judge
their publio utterances as 100 read the
reports, and not as enthusiastic and
intolerant Duffers may dictate. Our
crime in the estimation of our critics
is, that reading an evidently fair re
port of a discussion we concluded
that, after all, there had ; not been
much discussion but much speaking,
and that a thorough reply to Dock
ery'a very mischievous and danger
ous speech was absolutely necessary.
Our enemies are weloome to all they
can make out of such a conclusion.

Capt. Bixby adds the following:
In order; that these water-ways

This information, in as full detail as
possible for each water-way, should
be carefully collected and arranged,
should be put into writing, should be
signed by prominent cititens. County
Commissioners, or Boards of Trade of

The success attending the efforts of

with bagging; to take the place of

pine straw bagging can be manufac
tured at from 20 to 25 per cent, less
than jute, and if the underwriters
will acoepj; it, it will certainly, in
time, replace! the jute bagging. This
would lead to the establishment of a

cost of the. shipper.
In ; answer , to the above, dealers
say that cotton baled in sheeting or
in anything else for that matter will
be received, and sold of course
So. far, , however, very " few bales
covered with other than jute bagging
have been received here. All of' tbe
dealers were of the opinion that if
planters consulted their best interest,
they would. 'decide to use the jute
covering. A leading exporter said
that cotton baled in sheeting would
not stand compressing, and that the
few bales he had received with this
covering had been re-covered with
jute, at his own expense. !
Tb Slee Harvest and the Weatber. i
The bad weather of the past week
is causing no little apprehension
among rice, planters. ' It is feared
that if the weather does not! clear
within the next three or four days it
will be disastrous to the rice' crop,
not only reducing the yield but
affecting the quality of the grain.
The Savannah News, in an article
on the situation with the rice men on
the Savannah river, says: ?
Harvesting of the first'erop had al
ready begun when the frequent
showers overtook the harvesters, and
harvesting has Since been either at a
standstill or continued under diffi
culties. Some sprouting is already
reported. - The worst feature,; how
ever, is that in a few days the later
cron will ripen, and both harvests
will then come together. The first ,
crop will then fall off In yleW, rice
men say, Decause u overripe iu wm
shatter and it will not mill as well,
so that it will be a loss in quantity
and deterioration in quality. A week
of clear weather would be a blessing
to the planters. " ' ' .

that Allen G. Thurman is an old, frail, de

I well know that I am in no condition to

as this is. However, 1 want to speas, ana
in spite ot the illness I am almost induced

to withdraw, and thank you for your kind

At this point Judgs Thurman yielded to
tbe excitement and almost swooned in the
arms of the gentlemen who sprang to his
aid. IIo was led to a seat at the rear of the
platform and stimulants were administered.
After a few minutes he recovered sum
ciently to be taken . by members of Ithe
committee back to the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
"This incident caused some commotion in
the hall, which was counteracted by cries of
"HUH" ''iliil!" and the immediate intro
duction by Chairman Flower of the Gover
nor of New York.. J
In opening hia speech Gov. Hill referred
to Judge Thurman'a sudden illnc3s, easing
that it. was something which had I come
upon him an hour before. The Governor
said he took great pleasure in announcing
that the illness was not serious, and that
Judge Thurman would be able to proceed

with a fainting spell at 8 15 p m , just as
he began his address at Madison Square

carriage direct to the ladies' entrance of the

Messrs. Price and Barnum and Allen W.

Judge was carried to his room and attended

Emperor William's Proposed Visit to
j j Borne . . ' i
- Bkhlik, Sept 8. The programme for
Emperor Wiiliam's proposed visit to
Vienna and Rome is still somewhat indefi
nite. Friction has been caused between
Rome and Berlin by comments of the
Italian Dress on the Emperor's visit These
comments have given great umbrage in
official quarters here, and led to the request
being sent to the Italian Government to use
its influence to prevent newspapers misrep
resenting the meaning of the visit, which
was not planned as a means of strengthening
Prime Minister Crispin position. Bis
marck's telegram to the Pope intimating
that the only object of the proposed visit
was to ' make secure the alliance between
Germany and Italy, and thereby an addi
tion of half a million men to the German
army, and that the Papal question was
quite outside of it was an outcome of the
same difficulty. The Pope easily recog
nized that the Kaiser was in the hands of
King Humbert as his host, and therefore
raised no further objection to his going to
.the Quirinal. i
The Centre party here, satisfied that the
interview cannot be without favorabie re
sults for them, are confirming their efforts
to endeavor to assist Mons'gr Galineberti in
persuading the Emperor to visit the Pope
first 1 Their success in this direction, how
ever, is very doubtful. In the meantime
preparations are going on in Rome on a
large ; scale. German - artists there : are ;
full of I special project to make the
Emperor's visit a memorable one. The

New Yokk, September 7. The Board
of Managers of the New York Cotton Ex
change to-day received the following com
munication: I 1
"The National Board of Marine Under
writers, 25 William Street, New York, Sept.
7 To the New York Cotton Exchange:
Gentlemen In view of the present agita
tion of tbe bagging question throughout the
South, the Cotton Underwriters of this
Board, at their meeting to-day, passed the
following resolution: j
Whebbas. It having become known to
tbe Cotton Underwriters vt the National
Board ot Marino Underwriters, that for a
portion of this season's crop certain changes
in style of covering for bales might be
adopted ,nd that expression of tbeir inten
tions in view of
the . possible change was
desired; be it-
Resolved, That
the Cotton Underwriters
of this board wiiV make no discrimination
against cotton covered with any light
weight, close woven material of teasona
able I strength, provided the difference in
weight between the material used and
good; quality bagging be compensated by
extra! bands, (say 8 or 9 to the bale instead
of 5 Or 6). and that sampleales bo effec
tually covered, j - " j;
As our previous communication jo you
Indicates, it is the belief of the cammiltee
investigating this subject, that to a large
extent the appalling losses by fire during
the past seasons have been due to the bag
ging used in covering the bales, and that
flimsy, loose-woven cloth, with the fibre
standing out from the snrface, is as inflam
mable as cotton itself. The change, there
fore,' to any J woven material cannot
in their opinion involve additional risk.
It is also apparent that changes in the style
of covering and binding could be intro
duced at very slight additional coBt. that
would render fires in American cotton as
rareias with Indian and Egyptian. Tne
committee believe that the use of close wo
ven burlap, sixteen ounces or one pound to
the yard, or what is styled as hop sacking,
twenty-four ounces or one and a half pounds
to the yard or their equivalent with two or
three additional bands, and with care ueed
to thoroughly cover the bale, would bring
immunity from a. large portion of the loss
by fire, and relieve the industry from the
very serious tax which is involved in fire
and marine insurance rates as now charged.
This subject would seem of sufficient
importance to; receive the attention of
any Convention that might be held
of those interested in the cotton industry.
If change and improvement in ithe
method of covering and pressing is not
made, it 13 quite possible tbat the under
writers will, by combined action, with
draw from the business. i
Respectfully, by order of the chairman.

Chicago, September 6. A special from
St J Augustine. Fla., says: "A letter has
been received in this city disclosing a ter
rible state of affairs in the town of Bayard,
a small settlement on the line of the Jack
sonville & St. Augustine Railroad, aoout
twenty miles north of here. William Ort
gus, son of a i farmer living at Sampson,
five miles from Bayard, had occasion to
visit the latter place. In nearing the settle
ment he was attracted by a strong stench
emanating from the vicinity of a house sup
posed to be vacant. Through curiosity he
proceeded to investigate, and on reaching
the house a ghastly spectacle met his eyes.
Stretched . on a couch was the 1 body
of a woman, and in the same room were tbe
bodies of five children. They had evidently
been dead several days. Tbe boy. on realiz
ing the horror of tbe scene, fled, and
mounting his horse rode back to his home
and told the startling story: As St Augus
tine is strictly quarantined against Bayard
and tbat vicinity, the news did not reach
hero until several days after the occurrence.
The country people are horror-stricken,
and even it it were known that any one:
occupied the house, it is unlikely that any
one of them could have been induced to go
near it, if he knew there was a case of yel
low fever there. It is supposed that the
unfortunates were refugees from Jackson
ville, and were stricken with the disease
after leeaving the town.

I A spirited debate occurred on an Bdverse
report of the Committee on Resolutions on
