For Solicitor 6th District, ARMISTEAD JONES, of Wake. Congressman, 6th District, GILBERT B. PATTERSON. Depot Burned. At 7 :15 o'clock Sunday night the alarm of fire was given. Fire had been discovered in the freight* and passenger depot. The citizens responded in their usual prompt way, and at once set to work to batter in the doors to the freight department so that they might get to the fire, but the smoke was so dense that it was impossible to get in side. The office was then en tered and by heroic work some of the books were saved along with the ticket case. Mr, E. F. Young and Mr. J. L. Southall were the last to enter the office and just as they started out an explosion took place in the de pot which stunned both of them. A piece of timber of some kind struck Mr. Young's lee tearing his pants ; Mr. Southall was so badly stunned that it was sev eral minutes before he could col lect himself. • The only solution to the ori gin of the fire so far is that it must have been set on fire by rats striking matclies, as no one had been in that part of the building since Saturday evening For some time it was feared that the entire west side of town would be swept by the flames. Nothing but the unceasing work of our people saved it There were several liuudred bales of cotton on the yard, where for an hour it rained live coals. Everything was dry, and as the embers fell upon the buildings, some one was .there ready with water to put it out. Every building for several blocks was covered with men, and it was ouly by the most gallant work that the fire was confined depot. There was no one in the building at the time the fire originated, it not being time for the night operator to come on duty. The town was protected the rest of the night by eighteen spe- i cial policemen. Our people are thankful that so large a fire should be confined to one build ing. i OABTOIIIA. Start the Kind You Have Always Bough! ■ Wilmington Carnival. Special to The Democratic Banner. Everything pertaining to the great' Carnival to be held here * Nov. 3, 4, o, 6. 7, and Bth, is progressing in the most satis factory way, ami the nearer the f time approaches the more inter- ! est from the business men asj. weil as every citizen is mai.i festtd. - j There has been over #3,000 subscribed by the merchants and business men of the city and they are determined to make this the biggest thing of j the kind that Wilmington .lias i ever had. We are now building 1 a Welcome Arch at Front and Chestnut streets at an expense ; of $l,OOO, which is going to be ] the most beautiful picture of architectural beauty that eye ever witnessed. It is to be 100 feet at the. base, covering the entire width of front street in crescent shape and 75 feet high from base to top. On the top will be a dome lighted up by four arch electric lights and the Pythian colors, red, blue and yellow revolving around these lights constantly. There will be a thousand or more incandescent lights strung all over the arch red, blue, and yellow colors. The decorations will be most beautiful and very elaborate, on top of the arch will be a hand some Pythian Hag at the top of staff 20 feet high. It will pay any one to visit Wilmington to see this magnificent structure. We have engaged two brass bands, combined making 3o pieces, supplemented with two bands that the shows will have this week, guarantees plenty of music of the highest type. The parade committee are do ing big work in their especial lines and are determined to make the parade creditable and something that will please our visitors. They have already ordered 1,000 lights, red, blue and yellow which are to be used, and it will take one hour and a half for the parade to pass a given point. The execotive committee have booked, beside the Lay ton Car nival Co's. attractions, Col. ■ George Hall's famous animal show. This show travels in nine white enameled and artis lic cars belonging to Colonel Hall, and has among its manv attractions the biggest elephant in captivity. This feature alone is worth a visit to Wilmington's Carnival. There are trained lions, tigers, Hyenas, ponies,and in fact a complete trained ani mal show. The tent for fhis aggregation will seat 3,000 people. They have fifty Shet land ponies of different color-, which will be on exhibition and will be used to amuse the chil dren. Remember there are reduced rates on all the railroads. The dates of tiie Carnival are Nov. 3. 4, 5, 0, 7 and Bth. Be on hand for the parade Wednesday night. The great animal parade will take place on Thursday morning, and the eruption of Mt. Pe.iee Thursday night at 11 o'clock, and in fact, come and be with us during the entire week.

Godwin met in joint debate here the nominee of the Fusion party for State Senator, Kennedy, of Sampson. God'.7in made the speech of his life„just literally taking the hide off cf Kennedy. At the close of the debate O. J. Spears, the old war horse of Republicanism in Harnett, ap peared and what Godwin gave him was —well lie ju«t ''skint" him alive. They spoke until about 2 o'clock in the morning and was the most enthusiastic speaking we ever listened to. There was a large crowd pres ent, about two-thirds Demo crats.

This beautiful young lady, just 19 years of age, was the daughter of llev. F. A. Pra vatte, of Robeson county. She had been sick with typhoid fever for 34 days when death came to-her relief. Her death was not only peaceful but tri umphant. She was greatly lov*»d and respected bv the fac ulty and entire student body. As a Christian and church; member she was true to her vows. Hers was a beautiful christian life. She had been in school here for about two years, and had a -host of schoolmates and friends who are most pain fully grieved at her death. She was a kind, loveable, loving young lady. She has gone where no night shall ever conn l . Her body was carried to Dunn- Sunday, followed by a number of sutdents and friends and wa« sent to her home in Robesn County where it was tenderly deposited in the grave Monday there to be protected and watched over by the Lord until the morning of the resurection when it will be brought forth a glorious body like unto that of our Lord Jesus Christ, who loved her and gave himself for her and whom she served so faithfully until there came to her the summons "Child, come home," The following teachers and studients attended her funeral 1 and burial Monday: Rev.

Last Friday night Hon. C. B. Watson spoke to one of the larg est audiences that lias assembled any time during the campaign in our city. Ho is an able and eloquent speaker and for two hours he discussed the issues, both national and State. He was introduced by Mr. J. C. Clifford aifiid great ap plause and when Mr. \\ atson arose to speak he was given the closest attention. While he made no attempt at oratory he discussed the issues in a clear and logical manner and showed bevoud any doubt that our safety lies within the Democratic par ty. He closed his speech by scoring the Independents and proved conclusively that it was a Republican scheme by which they.hope to defeat the Demo cratic party and send their trreat ••Mogul," Jeter C. Piitchard, 1 back to the United States Senate j so that he may feather his mst thoroughly and put upon our people some burdensome laws. Married. Mr. Salomon M. Newell, of Council Station, N. C., led Miss Mary Anderson, of this city to the hymenial alta*last Sunday night, where their hearts were made to heat as one. Mrt New ell is well known here having at one lime*worked for the Jno A. McKay M'f'g Co. Miss Ander son is a daughter of Mr. 11. B. Anderson of this place. Rev. Dr. W. B. Harrell per formed the ceremoney in a short but impressive manner. Aft 'r the marriage an elegant supper was served to the guests. Thk Basxkr wislies this young couple much happiness. The trusts control 7o per cent of the output*of the manuiac tured products of the country, j They make a pro Ik of from 2~> to 50 per cent. The farmer is doing better than lie has done, but his profit will not exceed G percent. The R publican partv j claims to be able to regulate | prosperity and prices by legisla tion. If so, it ought to distrib ute its prosperity more equally. It ought not to give the farmer a 6 per cent, prosperity and the trusts a f)0 per cent prosperity. If it can regulate prices by law it ought to rai.-i' the farmer's profits- A six, eight or ten per cent, profit is a good ihing. It is not unfair to the consumer. But a 50 per cent profit is a bad thing. Ic is ruinous to the con sumer. It will not do foe the Republican party to contend that it is entitled to the credit for the increase in farm prices and deny that it is responsible for the increase in trust prices. The farmer has practically no protection under the- Dingley law. The trusts have from 50 to 100 per cent, protection. To make that argument would be ' to argue that protection does ' not raise the price of what -it protects, but does raise .the price of what it does not pro j tect. : liTiiflim! , 0 O If you wish to please your wife and make your home hap py, buy a Ball Bearing New Home Sewing Machine.
