LOCAL.
FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
To all now subscribers wo will semi
the Messknokk till the first of Dec.
for fifty cents. Send in clubs and I
get good republieen news for the j
campaign. Kverybody ought to read j
this paper. Send and get it.
Our city schools will open in about
two weeks and every child should be
enrolled at the begining.
The Colored Fair will open in Ral
eigh on the 24th of this month and as
usual continue through the week.
There has been reported over one
hundred cases of yellow fever in
Jacksonville, Fla. Fifteen or twenty
deaths.
Why do democrats complain of the
republicans encouraging the prohibi
tionists ? If the republicans vote the
prohibition ticket democrats should
not complain.
Prof. Atkins, of Livingstone College
visited the institute yesterday. Dr.
J T. Williams lectured on physiolgy
and hygiene.
Mr. George, C. Hcurlock, of Fay
etteville, is chief marshall for the
approaching colored fair. A very
good selection.
The colored teachers’ institute for
this county was held this week at the
colored graded school. Attendance
not very large.
Col. Dockery made the opening
speech at Monroe at the opening of
the joint canvass. Fowlc is no sort
of a match for Dockery.
Premium lists or any information
about the colored fair may be had by
writing to John 11. Williamson, Ral
eigh. The fair is on the 24th.
Judge Fowlo acted like a school
boy at Monroe when he met Col.
Dockery. lie trembled and stammered
i lit: could hardly be understood.
The joint canvass is progressing
finely. At Monroe and VVadeshoro
Col. Dockery made many votes and
was heard all through his speeches. ,
Good news comes from all parts of
the State telling that the republicans
are gaining votes every day. White
in n arc learning to think before they
act,
Judge Fowlo is no more in Col.
Dockery’s hands than a sponge.
Fowle trembles and stammers so piti
fully that one don’t like to look nt
him.
The attention of the street commis
sioners is called to the condition of the
streets in ward 2. The grass and
weeds near the colored graded school
should be cut.
The Mkssssokb is now the only
republican paper in the filb Congress
ional District and should be support
ed by wljite repuhliesns as well as
colored men.
The great riot painted in the demo
cratic press of Fayetteville, w»» not
known of there by many of the peo
ple of the town till three days after
when the papers appeared.
Let the leading colored republicans
of this county have a private confer
ence and determine what is best for
them to do for the success of repub
licanism in this county.
One of the best citizens ot Fayette
ville says he lays the charge of the
recent disgraceful scenes in that town
to language used there a few weeks
ago by one Daniels, of Tarboro.
Ground has been purchased for a
park for the colored base-hall club.
The game has become very popular,
and there is money in it for some one.
The park is back of the colored graded
school.
Durham suffers from another des
tructive fire, in which the colored
graded school building was burned
with many other buildings. The loss
in this fire is estimated at about
$40,000.^
The editor is invited to address a
normal school closing at Clarkton on
the 12th. He will try to be present,
but somebody else will have to do the
speaking. Politics will not absorb
the whole of our time.
The cotton compress in this city
was destroyed by fire last Tuesday
night. It is said to have been the
work of an incendiary. Several bales
of cotton were burned. Another com
press is to bo built at once.
The Charlotte Daily Chronicle was
sold this week by Mr. W. S. Ilemby
to Mr. G. W. Chalk, who will con
tinue it as a democratic paper. .Mr.
Chalk is well known as a newspaper
man in this and Gaston county.
The Sunday School Convention
held by the different districts in the
State have proven very successful and
pleasant They have all been closed
for some weeks and we will not make
special mention of the work in cither.
The meeting held by the Republi
cans in this city on Thursday night
amounts to nothing. It had no sort
of right to recommend a ticket to the
county convention, and it is hoped
the convention will disregard the
meeting entirely.
Our city graded schools will open
on the 10th. It is understood that
all the colored teachers of last year
were re-elected. The whites have
been notified individually. It is
supposed the colored teachers will be
on hand,
What do these great political de
monstrations mean ? In this State
and other Southern States it is in
tended, to intimidate more than any
thing else. The demonstration is
always before the speaking. When
the speaking begins, the sentiment is,
‘‘Fowle and out,” Dockery wins.
Col. Dockery does not say, as
charged by the press, that Mrs.
Cleveland kissed a Negro wench, but
he reads it from the Wadesboro /»-
telliye luer, a bitter, Negro-hating
democratic paper. If slanderous, it
comes from the democratic party.
Men sometimes know a thing and
yet can tell nothing about it intelli
gently. A person should study him
self and attempt that for which he is
well adapted. If it is contrary to a
man’s nature to preach, he may try
ninety years, but he will always
worry his congregation in the start.
Union and Anson county will give
Dockery hundreds of votes from the
white men there. They are openly
enthusiastic for Dockery and protect
ion. They have enough hard times,
want more money and better wages
Somebody said there were twenty
five colored men in the democratic
procession at Monroe. It is not so.
There were only two—Mills and
Massey—oacb of them rode a mule
and had a bandana pinned on bis left
shoulder. There is said to be seven
colored democrats in Union county.
We were at the opening of the joint
canvass at Monroe and also at ades
boro the next day. At Monroe there
were 156 democratic men, boys and
negroes on horseback. The firemen
of the town were uniformed and horse
back. There were three uniformed
S. C. red shirts. At Wadesboro there
were 133 men and boys on horseback
—nine uniformed red shirts.
The Taxes.
There is much blowing about the
reduction in taxes. It sounds well
in the papers, but how are taxes re
duced. Look at your receipts aDd [
add them up and see whether or not j
it amonuts to as much as it lias be- j
fore. The ehange is made in the j
valuation of the property. A gentle- f
man told us a few days ago he has a
piece of timbcrland on whieh he paid
$8 tax ten years ago, but now pays
sll on it.
Save Us, Cassius.
1 esterday mornings leading edi
torial in the Chronicle shows plainly
that Fowle is not thought by his own
party to be able to meet Dockery on
the stump. That paper attempts to
help Fowle out, but shows much
more ignorance than Fowlc. The
Judge, seeing his weakness holds
his peace, while the Chronicle talks
too much with his mouth.
Rowdy Railroaders.
On the 17th a great caravan of
mules, carts and colored folks filed
through our city from Rock Hill, S.
C., on their way to Winston, N. C.
They had just completed the 3 C.’s
road from Charleston to Rock Hill.
They were in charge of a white man
who has a contract on the Roanoke
Southern at Winston. They were going
there to work. After they passed through
the city, it seems, they became very
rowdy and report has it that they
tool: the farmers’ watermelons, roast
ing ears, cabbages, chickens and
everything in sight and threatened
the life of tiie owners. One colored
boy had itis eye knocked out with a
stone.
Judge Mcares enurt was in session
at the time, the matter was reported
to him, he issued warrants and the
sheriff took the white military com
pany on a special ear on the States
ville road and soon overtook and
arrested 24 of the number. There
were eighty in one crowd. One wo
man was arrested : all were jailed till
Monday when seven of them were
convicted and sentenced to terms of
two and three years on the chain
gang-
They had very little sympathy from
any source as it cannot be seen how
men could be so foolish as to eommit
such depredations without cause.
The guilty parties should he severely
punished, but we think some other
way would be better than the chain
gang. The man who had them in
charge should have an investigation
also.
R(-|iiililiran Caucusing.
We learn from the Chronicle that
the republicans of Mecklenburg arc
making material additions to the
parly. We are not allowed to tell
here what we know but give this
from a democratic source. It is said
that in one meeting held last week
three prominent democrats declared
themselves henceforward republicans.
Mr. F. A. McXincb, a democratic
Justice of the Peace, former city
marshal and one of the most prominent
leaders of the party was the first to
leave the sinking ship. Mi J. A.
Brown, a prominent mechanic and
contractor, formerly from South Caro
lina, and one who lias done active
service in both States for the demo
cracy, declared that after this he is a
true blue republican. Mr. Dulin,
one of Mecklenburg’s wealthiest
farmers, and a countryman, announced
himself for Harrisou, Dockery, and;
protection. The same report says
about thirty white republicans were
in council with colored leaders, aud
tiie whole party management is to be
| turned over to the white men. If
there is truth in this report, it shows
several things : First, that democracy
is to be overthrown in this county
this year. Second, that it is to be
done by white men. Third, that there
is no danger of Negro domination, as
the ticket will be composed of white
men and the party uiauagod by white
men -
With a great overland route across 81-
beria, such us the new railroad the Rus
sian government propose* to buifil, that
country will be able to dominate very
Largely Asiatic commerce.
