SHERRILL, Editor. Volume XVI. TILLMAN TALKS ABODTUSION. The Sooth Carolina Senator Says I1b La Sorry ford. . News and Observer,, 22nd. One of the most unique characters in national politics was here yesterday. .Need I say that Senator Ben Tillman, ot &outh Carolina, is the man to whom I refer? He was " on his way home from the North, :whre he has been for a vacation. 1 hough he was m Raleigh only ten minutes, and did not get off the tran, I could not resist the tempta tion to hunt hint up and talk to him. He is lookine as brown as a Spaniard and says he feels much improved by his rest. There was just enough -work in it to make him eniov it. he said. He spoke at Haverhill, Mass., on Labor Day, and later at the New Hampshire State Fair. Then he went up into Can ada till he struck frost, then back down to the St- Lawrence, to Quebec and to other points along the border. lhis was all interesting enough, 'but it wasn't what I climbed on that- train to talk about. Senator, how are things politically in the good State of South Carolina?" I broke in. ... r i Just, the very question I was about to ask von." he reDlied. lausrhin?. You see I've been out of mv - State some three months now and I;. know very little of what's going ou there except, of course, that our people; are doing the right thing." ' W ish you could say as much for the people of North Carolina," He drew a long breath and looked out the window for a moment, then slowly turning his face toward me. while his one eye glowed like a-coal that seemed to burn through you, he said, just a little sadly, I thought: "ies, I wish I could, lou are bad off, and Ini truly sorry for you. North Carolina is today the most God-forsaken State politically in the Federal Union." I confess I was somewhat surprised to hear Iillman say it, i South Carolina," he continued, "was never so bad, not even in the I days of the scalawag and carpetrLagger. ( And since w6 ran the Radical? out I in 1872 we've been all xieht. North 1 Carolina. too, had her days of darkness during the reconstruction period. But they were as a Sunday school n comparison with her presejat condition. Then the white people were unitedt now thej'are divided and that s the sau part about it all." j ' I Was that a sigh that came from the big-heartad, fire-eating Tillman? The face would have had a look off sadness on it had it not been for its strong lines, the firm-set chin and thesblazing eye. 1 here was a sort ot solemn awe m his voice as he said all this. I wanted, to warn y?ur people against thisaft-jS96. Ira no Iprophet, but I saw what was coming. I wanted to speak in your State and tendered iy services, but after some hesitation your State chairman decided against me; thought I was too hot a number, I suppose." . , ! "Are you so situated how that you could come here and he! p us a litUe?" Well. I hardly know I ; have not considered the - matter. You are in such an awful fix, though I hardly know how I could refuse if asked by your committee. Every! man and good citizen must look upor the political situation in North Carolina with shame. From the hour of msiOn, lour years ago, between the Populists an element of your" good white people and Re publicans, the negroes there has been an era of corruption and incompetence. It is almost incredible,! the condition into which the proud old State has fallen. The carpet-baggery j of thirty years ago does not compare with it 'I sincerely hone that you may be able to redeem yourselves in the com ing election. I rejoice to hear that the outlook is encouraging. Then. somehow we drifted oil into a discussion of the Congressional outlook. The tram was now going and the warm hand-Aasp the South Carolinian enve as I hurried out, made me under stand that he had meant every word he said, and that 1eneath his rough ex tenor was hidden a warm, generous bft-art and a natnotic desire for the country's welfare. Not the least interesting tning to me in this short interview was the person ality of the-man this rumpled giant who, as pnze-hghters say, wouia strip well." He is of heroic proportions. He has mountain shoulders;, big, hon est hands: a square, firm law: a fierce, piercing eye set in a hard, determined face. The absence of one eye accen tuates the strength and intensity of the other, giving the face a picturesqueness that it otherwise would not possess, At first dance the South Carolinian Innks as if; ho could do any or all of several things knock you down, preach a sermon, eat, a horse but whatever hp. did he'd have no anoloeies to offer afterwards. . I doubt very much whether he could tell you the diHerence between an iaoaleae tnanele and a logarithm, or Axnlain to vou the binomial theorem, but he can.quicKiy mane up nis nuiia Tf" . ... , .. . i whAt to do under tnven conoiuons anu go at itwith a determination that brooks I no oODOSltlon I Ilu 1 f Tffi is a man whom fortune has not HnoilL Risen from the ranks of the Aeonle. success has not made him for- K cet them. 5 j "The people are nonesi, nejiu me ypsterday, 'and will do the right thing mthe Gnd..; The only trouoie is getting tnem 10 see uie riguu Intensity of purpose, aDsoiute sincer- ity and untiring industry are his strong oini. . , i Au "rr.;" Zi' " ' , boiled nlousrhman he is one and the 1 :i 1 1 1 f i t 1 - lilt, ntuu I H 71 xl- t.. same. And that ia why he has- been so much abused and so often mis understood.. j j He was on his way home all? the way from Canada, where he has been for a rest a long journey, but he was taking it in a day coach, with the people. That is Tillman all over. No Pullmans and dining cars for him. It is refreshing to talk to such a man. i The Atlanta Constitution sees us through the same sort of glasses as does Senator Tillman, and it has coined the j expression "North Carolinaized," and I is warning the people against , the CONCORD - - . , : . ropulist-Republican fusion that has Old brought such a curse upon the North State. And the WaycroSS (Ga.) Herald says tne scalawaes in wire-cm Onorcrio would put that section in I the same conamon that Korth Carolina is in if tlley could. "Scalawags are entitled to no. consideration and should be fought like fighting fire. They are the worst enemies the South ever had." . Discussing the situation in North Carolina, as it affects Georgia, the Wellington (Ga.) Gazette says: "The situation in North Carolina is so bad that honest men, without distinction of party, should swear a creat oath to stand by one another until it is rid of the private thieves and public robbers. The Perverted Truth Straightened. Cnarlotto Observer. It is perhaps worth the while to call attention to the tortuous twistine of facts by the fusion stump orators to suit their purposes. The deep-dyed-in- the-wool Populists who are steeped in prejudice, and the pie-hunting office- seekers of the party, are not open to conviction, but all the candid and thoughtful members ot the Populist par ty will see at once the unfairness of such statements. Dr. Thompson, being hard put to it when confronted with the horrors of black supremacy with which fusion has cursed the east, strives to parry this thrust' by Baying that Democratic Speakers of the State House of Repre sentatives have appointed negroes to in spect tke State institutions for the af flicted and helpless, etc. In particular, he cites the case of Speaker Lee S Overman, in the Legislature of 1893 ap pointing Watson, a negro from V ance, county, as an inspector of the blind in stitution. Mr. Overman, as told in yes terday's Salisbury correspondence of The Observer, points out the mean un fairness of this statement, showing that the negro was appointed not as an "in spector. nronerly sneaking, but as a member of the House committee on deaf, dumb and blind, because of his inalienable right as a legislator to serve on some' committee. The Obser ver believes that the members of the House and Senate committees are gen erally decided upon by their party cau cuses and are appointed by the Speaker, in a perfunctory way, after such elect- ton. Is not this true? How unfair, then, to charge' Democratic Speakers with the responsibility f or ! such ap pointments, when there would not be a negro member of the Legislature if they or their party could prevent if ! In a strenuous .effort to escape tak ing his medicine, Dr. Thompson also asserts that' the fusion government is not responsible for the negro, Jim Young, being an inspector of the white institution. He charges the blame . for this to Mr. B. F. Montague, a Demo crat, and hold-over president of the board of directors of this institution, Mr. Montague has a card in yesterday's Raleigh News and Observer exposing this malicious slander of Thompson's He shows that every member of the board of directors, according to long I precedent, takes his turn as inspector of I the buildings, aud it was in . this way I that Young became an inspector along I with Dr. Meserve. Governor Russell ap pointed Young as a director, and he, in the Bight of God and men, is direcuy re sponsible for the iniquity. And yet Ur. Thorn Dson cries out in his speeches, as he accuses Montague of the oiience 'You Democrats, guilty j ofw stealing yourselves, are charging us i with your theft ! It is a wonder to me that uoa Almighty does not blight some of you for this !" . 1b an unfair, uniust, not to say sac religious man like this, fit to be kept in power in North Carolina? lhe Popu lists never dreamed of bringing about such a state of affairs as exists to-day when they, left, the Democratic party and fused with the Renublicans. Let them ponder these things, and then de termine, as the honest men the great majority of them are, what is their duty to an oppressed and groaning State.

C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER A CONTRAST COST OF DEMOCRATIC ANU FC8ION RULE It Cost More Than Twenty Bales ot Cotto More Every Day to Pay the Expenses uio oiate government Under Fusion Roie THn it Cost Under Democratic Rule, i News and Observer. 3 When the candidates, who are now the office-holders, were making thoir pleas for election in the campaigns: bf 1894 and 1896, they were vehement in their denunciation of the Democratic party because it had not reduced salaries to correspond to the reduction in tle price of agricultural prciictgSeiteegwoea. One of the wenches then promised, if given the reins of govern ment, that they would reduce salaries and fees abolish useless offices, and reduce taxation. How have they kept these promises? . ; According to the reports of the Stale Auditor the expenses of State govern ment under the-last three years bf Democratic rule were as follows: Jj 1892.L .tl.056.93LG0 1893 1,219,64840 1894.;... 1.195.620.25 Total, .$3,573,2015 Let uscontrast these expenses by die Democrats with the expenditures un4erj me present auimnisirauou wnicn.camesi into olhce with the solemn pledge to reduce expenses.

Total, $ 3,959,650121 This shows that under Fusion rifle the expenses of the State administra tion have increased in three veii $386,748.26 over the last three yearslf Democratic ride. . nf Ihese figures are not denied by any body. In Hal Liar's Hand-book lhe undertakes to prove that all this ex cess of $3S6,74S.2G, or $413.19 per working day was proper and correct and necessary. He does not deny he increase. 1 Think of it, tax-payers, the Fusion parties have required nearly $50(j a day more to run the State government thani the Democratic party required. What do farmers, who voted for a !re duction of salaries as the basis of low agricfciltural products, think of having o give more than twenty bales of ot- wjii every wonting uay to carry on line State government than the Democvte required ? Is that keeping the prm fees of reduction to the scale of agri cultural products ? f The! Progressive Farmer has devoted several columns to trying to prove- that fie increase was only about $200,000 and that that the increase ! was necess ary! i It says this week that "the' teal increase is only $206,397 Th people will choose ratheto-'iwtgTiorting around adviaing resistance to cept the figures from the reports of tyk State Auditor than from the Political Farmer, but even that!

This would be true even if they had not come into office upon thej sa cred promise of sweeping reductions. The country people have long mem ories. They remember that in 1894 and in 1896 the burden of the cry, of the Fusionists was "Public salaries should be reduced to a basis of thq re duction in the price of agricultural products."

Klnston Free Press. . Mrs. J. F. Taylor and Mrs. H. E. Mosley were out riding on their wheels fone evening last week. They turned into a narrow side path to avoid ' meet ing a lot of negroes who if ere going home from the tocacco stemmery. There were several negro women in the path. The negro wenches seemed de termined not to step aside to) allow the ladies to pass. Mrs. Taylor was in front and determined that she would ride ahead anyway, so she brushed past the got and right in the middle of the path Moseley had to dismount from her wheel and roll it around the impudent negro wench, and all the impudent wenches laughed loudly and clapped their hands at making her dismount. Such exasperating occurrences would not happen but for the fact that the ne gro party is in power in North Carolina, and that there are negro magistrates and other negro officials in office, which emboldens bad negroes to display their evil, impudent and mean natures. Negro men on wheels do iot turn out at all for ladies but would! ride right over white women if they ' did not get out of the way. Their brazen impu dence is a result of tbe negrcf party be ing in power. A negro woman whipped, one of Dr. Faulkner's little boys one day last week with a buggy whip. It was done withH out the slightest provocation that we can learn. Dr. faulkner is awfully mad, as he has just cause tc be, and is trying his best to learn the .name of the nasty, mean negro wench. The negro Congressman WTiite said in his speech here Saturday that the Populist3 were in honor bodnd to vote for him. He slandered th Populists. Hereafter there should be np Populists. The place for all white menj with white principles, is in the Democratic party. All true white men must wdrk together and vote together to restore white gov ernment in North Carolina, Saturday evening Chief of Police J. H. Rouse arrested John Bright, a ne gro, for being drunk andj disorderly. The negro resisted arrest. When Rouse took hold of him, the negro tried to stamp the policeman's feet, and the latter hit the negro over the) , head with his billy. Amos Grainger, another negro, said tthe negroes: "Will you all stand around here and let the p- white man arrest one of your race ?" The negro Bright was finally arrested and lodged in jail and then Chief Rouse arrested Amos Grainger forj counselling resistance to an officer, lsoth negroes gave'bail for their appearance for trial Tuesday. A negro woman was also cursing and an officer, but Chief Rouse could not he made the other ar- find her after rests. . The Free Press has only toven a few facts. There are many others of a sim ilar nature constantly occurring. The condition is becoming unbearable. We have proper regard for good negroes who know and keep- their places, but for mean, impudent and unruly negroes we have the utmost contempt. The rule of the fusionists has served to de velop in the bad negroes all their mean traits. It is rapidly anpkaching the point where the patience of all true white men will be exhausted when such men will take the lawf in their own hands and by organized fojrce make the negroes behave themselves. Unless white government is restored at the next election this point wiljl certainly be reached and there is strong probability that it will be reached before the elec tion. There are many good negroes, who are disposed to be, and are, polite and respectful. If this ciass any in fluehce over the unruly ones of their race, it is high time they were exerting it. Unless they do, a clash is surely coming between the races, aud in such ways' victori- clashes the white race is a ous. Flies Carry Fever uerms. Washington, Sept. 21. Common house flies, according to a report of the medical commission appointed to . in vestigate the cause of so much typhoid fever at various camps, introduced the deadly germs. The commission visited the camps at Jacksonville, liuntsville, Fernandina and Chickamauga. Every where it found typhoid fejrer and found ltspreaaing. it aiso lounu niea were in every camp by millions. They de clare they found flies fed) off ot fecal matter from hospitals and) then at meal time shared the food of soldiers. In the first instance the ny picked up on his six hairy legs infiniteamal particles containing germs of typhoid, and as he walked over the hardtack and other food he deposited them there. Large numhers of flies carried enough germs iu this way to inoculate large numbers of soldiers. The commission presents the case exhaustively in proof of this remarkable explanation, and de clare most postively that the proof is overwhelming in support of their diag nosis. Recommendations for disinfect ing sinks and killing germs so flies can not carry them are made and it is de clared that with this danger removed, well selected camps connpt be anything but healthful.

I haven't found one Populist going back to the Democratic party," said Dr. Cy Thompson in his " Concord speech. Either Dr. Cy is the? champion liar of the State or is the blindest man in it. And Dr. Cy was never accused of being very blind. Charlotte News. The Wilson News says that while Mr. Larry Moore, Democratic candidate for Solicitor, was speaking at Elm City, "a negro mounted the platform and in sisted upon having his say. raising quite a disturbance before he was put down. After quiet had been restored, the speaker pointed to him with the remark that 'this is a living example of negro rule.' " The man who votes gainst the white man's party votes for just impudence and riot-breeding con duct. News and Observer. A prominent citizen of Newton writes that in the speech by Chairman Holton 'he said some things too dirty to print. He was met at Newton by some of the sorriest fellows unhung, and yet Holton said, "the meanest low down Republi can 1 have met is better than the best Democrat." This is a sample of the speeches that Repopiican. orators are making this year. News and Observer, We have been looking and listening -looking carefully, week by week, over opuh8t papers Caucasian, Progressive Farmer, Home Rule and others for denunciation of the McKinley-Russell administrations on account of five cent cotton. We have listened for some peaker of that grand combination of mid-night howlers to, - tear his hair ia denunciation of this gold-bug pluto cratic-government in behalf of the poor farm era on account of five-cent cotton. We have looked and listened in vain. Cotton is not bnly selling for five cents, tne best grades,; but the commoner grades are Belling for two cents lees ; per pound. Twenty dollars per bale is the price the best cotton is selling for, and yet not one word of complaint from5 Cy Thompson, of Jeremiah Ramsey or Hal Ayer or Otho Wilson.

Statesvile Landmark. The average price of cotton for the crop year September, 1895, to Septem ber, 1896 was eight cents per pound, or thirty-two dollars per bale. The average price for the crop year 1896 1897 from September to September- was y. & cents not quite 7 1 cents per pound, or thirty dollars per bale. Dur ing this latter s year the Progressive Farmer and Caucasian and the Cy. Thompsons howled themselves almost as black as the party they have been swallowed up by, charging the Demo crats with being responsible for the low price of cotton. I So far this present crop year the highest price our North Carolina farmers have gotten is five cents per pound, or twenty dollars per bale. Yet the Farmer nor Sucker-Fish Cy. eay a word to show that Ruseellism has not caused the farmer to lose ten dollars on every bale ot cotton sold this year. Why is this? Raleigh Post, Dr. Thompson hissed out his slime at Concord Monday, mingled with the same falsehoods with which he. opened his campaign in behalf of negro domi nation and indecent and dishonest gov ernment in the State. But when Mr, Aycock got through with him,- his terrific exposure of the utterly reckless and cowardly misrepresentations, Cyrus began to realize that Falsehood and Dishonor cannot prevail in Old North Carolina. Mr. Aycock's exposure of bis head and front of bad and disgrace ful government in the State was pittiless That Thompson will continue to slander honest men we have no doubt. He has nothing else in stock with which to regale his hearers, and the more violent and unblushing the falsehood the- more he hopes thereby to divert the minds of honest people from the disgraceful and offensive government we have under his fusion arrangement. Let him con tinue it. Our only fear is that Holton, whom Thompson is serving, will close him up, seeking the effect of such gross miss-satements. The people ' can be trurted to place the proper estimate upon such a creature and such men dacity, and the party that can offer nothing more, to commend it to popular consideration in the face of the Dad condition of affairs which all people of all parties in every county realize is unon them. Let him go on with his malicious misrepresentations. Convict ed from the records by Capt. Cooke bf deliberate lying in the most serious charges he relied on, and so exposed by Mr,-Aycock before the people of Uabar-rusj-iie can be nothing more now thin a howling wilderness, enveloped in his own conceit and disgrace. Raleigh Post, Every true man and good citizens must look upon the political situation in North Carolina with 'shame and righteous indignation. From the hour of fusion, four years ago, between the populists and repubheans-r-and the ne- eroes are included in the latter the good people of that state have looked upon nothing but public corrupuon and their own degradation, it seems ; in credible that there could be in any state of the Bouth and least of alii i the old liberty loving, proud ' spirited North Carolina 8uch :a state of affairs as now exists -there. ; Senator Butler and his deluded followers sowed ; the wind and they are 'now reaping the whirlwind. The situation is so bad that honest men without 'distinction of party, have sworn a great oath to stand by one another until the state is rid of the private rogues and public robbers. The carpet-baggery of thirty years ago throughout the south was decency itself compared with Populist and negro fusion Of to-day. The former was bold, open harided and brazen, and we knew, what to expect iu fighting such an enemy; j but the latter ia a worse combination than John. Randolph's hybrid of "the puritan and the blackleg." Washing ton Gazette. ; ! - - - ! The man who is entirely satisfied with himself is easily contented. r 91.00 a Year, in Advance Number 13. THEN AND NOW A TAX EATER AND A . TAXPAYER. News and Observer. In his speech at Pittsboro, trying to hold the Populists to fusion with the party of the black mm and the yellow metal, Dr. Thompson made three utter ances which illustrate his political mor als. We quote: "We must co-operate with the Repub licans as a matter of necessity, not be cause we want to but because we need their help and we could not get along without them and they could not get along without us. "We must co-operate with gold bugs and monopolists now in order to retain our organization in 1900, and then we will nominate W. J. Bryan for Presi neht ahead of the Democrats." ' He also said that "the Populist party has been as "true to -its convictions as circumstances would permit." In 1892 this speaker proclaimed that he was forced to leave the Democratic party because it had nominated Cleve- and and denounced as a traitor to sil ver all who supported Cleveland or any other goldbug. - " Then Cyrus Thompson had no office and was a private citizen of Onslow county. Then he demanded devotion to convictions and did not speak like a trader about "as true to convictions as circumstances would permit." That is the language of a private citizen want ing reform. Now that Cyrus Thompson is advising and urging fusion "with goldbug8 and. monopolists," he is a public officer and draws a' salary of more than $6,000 a year or $18.97 for each working day. It takes almost a bale of cotton every day to pay Thompson's salary, and he can afford to talk about being as "true to convictions as circura stances would permit. A man with a salary of a bale of cotton a day can talk glibly about "co-operating with gpld- DUgs ana monopolists, but the man who is raising five cent cotton wants to fight the gold-bugs and monopolists who are largely responsible for the low price of agricultural products, and not co-operate . with them. He knows that if he co-operatea with gold bugs it will be to the undoing of the masses, though it may give Cyrus Thompson a bale of cotton every day. The cotton raisers would prefer free silver and eight cent cotton to Cyrus Thompson in ot- nee and hve cent cotton, strange as Cyrus may deem this choice. Inspected By a Negro. Newborn Journal. . Jones county is suffering from -the resulted in the present Board of Educa tion which elected five 6Chool commit teemen, three of them white and two colored. One of these negroes is named Ed. Kinsey and he has maintained his "rights" by inspectin a white school JirJIiT-C&UinB is thoBchool toaohof who had charge of the Maysville Bchool last. He ia a young man of intelligence and gentlemanly demeanor. The school at Maysville has some fifty white scholars, boys and girls, and some of the girls almost oil enough to be dig nified by the title of young ladies There are three white school commit teemen in Jones county, but the negro Kinsey visited the' school alone. .He spent an hour in the school room where the white boys and guls were being taught. He found that the desks were not made properly and recommended that the backs he changed. What further changes the negro considered necessary is not told. Mr. Collins found the situation very embarrassing but considered it best to let the negro make , his "inspection and depart, and so the school continued on the even tenor of its way. There are murmurs loud and deep in Jones county and it is declared that this con dition of affairs will not bo endured. A very prominent Populist of the county said last Saturday that the next Legis lature must change all this. Then let him and all such vote with their white neighbors and put the negroes where they no longer have the power to puBh themselves among white people. Uazcards of Folltlcs. Kins ton Free Press. The buzzards of the air are black, but there are political white buzzards they are the white fusion; politicians who de light in their carrion politics at the ex pense of good rule by white men, who consort in politics with negroes. If you are a white man, will you vote for a buzzard ? A man mast reap as he sows. If he sows til-health he will reap ill-health. If he neglects hia health the weeds of disease will grow up and choke it It Is a daily and hourly marvel that men will recklessly neglect their health, when a moment's thought should tell them that they are courting death. It lies in most every man's power to live to a green old age. If a man would only take the same care of himself that he does of his horse, or cow, or dog, he would enjoy good health. When a' man owns a hundred-dollar horse, and it gats sick, be does not waste any time about doctoring him np.
