' Of the increase of 84 miles in road, 30 miles are side-tracks of the North Carolina Railroad. Before Editor and Populist State Sec retary Hal. Ayer, who is very popular with the newspaper men, left here for St. Louis, it Was the understanding, from his talk, that he was going to "whoop things up" for Bryan. Bat to day's news is that he is a red hot "mid dle of the road mac. Senator Butler's brother was a regu lar rooter for Bryan before he left here J. J. Hogers, of Wake, who is sick, wanieu young cutler to be bis proxv upon consideration that he did not sup port Bryan. Mr. Butler said he was not taking proxies on any such condi tions, and he told the boys hi brother. the Senator, had a pocket full of them. Six Of the twelve big-freight engines ouiu at i-iusDurg. fa., for the Seaboard Air Line have arrived. They are 10- wheelers. r The Caucasian, 8enator Botler's pa per, to-oay jumps upon the lease or the . . . north Carolina Railroad with both feet and says: "All political parties snouia unite in Having the lease declar ed Invalid. We believe in 8tate con trol at least of its own railways. We have no hostility to the Southern Rail way or to any corporation If the 99 year lease is allowed to stand it is but a question of time when tbe Southern Railway Company will own or control ail tbe roads in North Carolina. Al ready it has its covetous eyes fixed uron the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley. The latter system is, next to the North Carolina Railway and the Atlantic & North Carolina Railway, neces sary for the development of North Carolina." The editorial 4? signed oy John Graham, of Rtdgeway. He says in speaking of the Cape Fear laaicin valley Kallway, that it was really built by State aid, as the State gave the use of convicts in return for mortgage bonds, and then later return ed the bonds. Prof. Graham calls for immediate action to break op the lease oi the North Carolina Railway. Then be says: "When, as chairman of the Alliance committee, suit was instituted In my name to test the validity of tbe ninety-nine year lease, a newspaper re porter represented Judge Walter Clark as saying, 'the doors of justice have been thrown open. These doors were shut and fastened. Will not the oeonle of North Carolina, regardless of party, see to It that the next Governor of North Carolina and his Attorney Gen eral shall open wide the gates of justice, and will they not see to it that the Su preme court Justice to be elected are men Irreproachable ia character and fearless In the discharge of their du ties THREAT EHED SIOT AT rKAMKLUtTOB A Walt Mm KUla a Hcgro sad Tratd Kaarly Rmltd A Bteate trmm Jwnam laast as the Career Steae fere Ralalsh Cnarek meads Opposss Jl Taag View That Thar Wttl B H MeKlmly TIekt ta tfa Btate Ota WUhi Smya faeBUaOay WlU BvteM This State's Tata.

Pam Hotel X V RaxxioH, July 23. f Yesterday at a nerro nicaio near Fraaklintoa Oenadus Jackson, oolored. was killed by a blow on the head with a stick, gi?en. it ii said,; by James A.1 Uoore. son. of ex-Sheriff Moore, a lead ing Franklin eoaaty RepabUcaB. Moore was arrested and takes to FrankUatoa. It seems that this morning there was a plan, or talk of a plan, to Ivnch him. Governor Carr received a telegram from M yor R. C GuUey saying a murder had been committed aad that a riot was prob able," and asking that he give the aid of tbe company of the First Regiment at Fraaklintoa. 'The Governor tele graphed that he had directed the com pany to report to bim. A teleeranrto the Adjutant General: from the eomna- pufj'jnt t a all fro3- the mayor hla eompany was assembled at its armory subject to orders. - The Adjutant Gen eral replied, approving this action end directing Capt. McGea to report "and consult with the mayor. At 120 your correspondent wired to Franklinton for newt and was told all was quiet,. . - Prominent Baptists who have been at Thomasville attending the annual meet ing of the orphanage trustees, returned to-day. v The, following-is the new ex ecutive committee: John Ci Bear-" borough, chairman; Dr. Fleming, John Mitchell, M.

It will allow. 200 children to be accom modated. . Rev. DrPiltinger, rector of. the church of the Good Shepherd, brought from Jerusalem a stone weighing 1,225 pounds, which is to be the corner-stone of the Episcopal cathedral of this dio cese, which will be built on the site now occupied by the church of the Good Shepherd. The stone is , mottled, yel low and light brown and pink aad very queer. r Governor and Mrs.' Can and two chil dren and Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Carr left to-day for Lincoln Llthia Springs The Governor will remain a week. The railroad commission to-day ie ceived a letter from the Georgia rail road commission asking its views in re gard to making all railroads reducing through rates to reduce their local rates In proportion. Tbe reply of the North Carolina commission is that it fully concurs in the optnion of tbe Georgia commission that such equalization of rates should be required; that it had al ready notified the Seaboard Air Line of its determination to protect local business. Judge Walter Clark tells me his wife, who has been very sick, is now steadily Improving. During tbe present month only four convicts have arrived at the peniten tiary. James H. Young, of the Republican State committee, says there will be no McKlnley electoral ticket in the field In this State, but there will be two silver electoral tickets. Your correspondent asked ex-Congressman John Nichols what he thought of this. At first he said "when the bosses speak I have nothing to say," but then he added: "There will be a MoKinley electoral ticket. I know whereof I speak. " Otho Wilson was asked what he thought of the matter and replied: "It seems to me very sensible that there will be a Populist Bryan ticket and a Democratic Bryan ticket. I told you three weeks ago that the Populists would cast the electoral vote of this State. McKlnley will not get North Carolina's electoral vote." Mr. Wilson went on to speak of the Silver party, aod said: "It is organ ized only in four counties in this State Burke, Onslow, Greene and New Han over nd has only 100 members, and six delegates are at St. Louis represent ing these. As an element it is really not organized. Most of it is Demo cratic or Republican. The man we Populists name at St. Louis will be the President. What are we here fort This is what we are here for." The addition to the State experiment station will not be begun before Sep tember. There is considerable talk among Democrats here about Senator Butler's plan to put up a Populist for Vice Pres ident. After he had succeeded in get ting tnis done he wonld say, "We vote for your man for President: won't you vote for our man for Vice President?" They say the only answer to be made would be that this would be a division of the silver vote and really in the in terest of McKidey. Last year there were over 500 regis tered distilleries of fruit brandy in this revenue district, but owing to the re markably short crop of fruit this year there will be only about 50. the officials say. There are 125 to 150 registered whiskey distilleries in the district. The number of illisit distilleries is not half as large as it was in 1895. Tbe officers have been very active in destroying illicit stills and this has done a great deal of good. During one month in 1895 the Greensboro force of deputies alone destroyed 125. This breaks the record for one month. Ed Johnson, Republican chairman of this congressional district, says: "N. C. English writes me: "I will be the standard-bearer of the Republicans and Populists in the district in the coming campaign.' He was nominated as the fusion candidate with the understand ing that he would take the place of W. F. Strowd. We did not confer with the Populists regarding this. We en dorsed him as our preference" John son was asked: "If the Populis's don't nominate English what then?" and re plied: "I suppose he will run anyhow. If he doesn't somebody else will. The chances are good for a Republican to be elected. English is a Republican Populist. .There are plenty of men who want to be the Republican candi date if English fails to run. Three write me that they want to run. En glish has really not formally accepted. Our committee meets in a rew das. A man was broueht to the insane asylam this afternoou.

Travel lag on different tickets we air Joined again at Danville, re-es forced by Mrs. Eveline BelLi At Lynchburg we adopt ed various, methods to keep awake from 2 a. m. to 5:40 a. m. Dr. Mc Lei land drove sleep away by descriptions of the grand scenery of Niagara. Mr. Bell now put la a word or two, and the writer was driven in self-defence to draw on a visit Mrs. H. and he made to Natural Bridge years ago. At length welcome day Came, the gong sounded, the stentorian voioe."All aboard," was heard. The Norfolk & Western runs through a picturesque section of country. We pats through the Blue Ridge range, hardly conscious of it, and in a few minutes pass the great iron furnaces, the railroad shops, stop in front of Roanoke depot on one side and a fine ho.el of the same name on the other on a high bluff with a beautifuliy terraced yard- This oity ii like Jerusalem mountains round about it. A fine Hat valley furnishes ample space for the large buildings that are going up Historic old Salem is beneath her shadow but seems to hold her own. At East Radford we cross a circular, horse-shoe bridge, something unique, and then plunge into those valleys of the Allegheny Mountains and by means of them pass on. The writer has seen tbe scenery up the French Broad and the Highlands of the Hudson. There is some along the New river that rivals them. On one side is the river flowing now over a bed of limestone rock, now forming a deep, nar row ohasm, and now again spreading out deep, inviting the steam whistle. Close to its edge are steep precipitous walls of limestone rock. Cutting its way along, laying tribute on both land and water, is the road bed. Now hard put to, the desperate engine plunges into the heart of the monster rock and as suddenly emerges to pursue her way. We noticed in one place that the rock overhung the rails. Castle Rock at Pembroke station, two hundred feet high, is a beautiful sight, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." The eye never tiies looking at the Peaks of Otter and the bold, rugged scenery, great high cliffs like tbe face of a giant grinning all over. It is a perfeot feast to the eye ind pleasure to the mind this ride up the Mew river. "All off for Tazewell." Right along to the street car, up the valley to find, in a pouring rain, our hotel. Firs are here and word has just come in this morning that the party coming across the mouut&in, consisting of ten, have pitched their tent and Mr. Sum mers, of Asheville, is expected this af ternoon. The trial began yesterday July 21. and continues to-day. Tazewell is a small town of 1,000 people, in the midst of mountains, rich to the very top and carpeted with nu tritious grass. Land is high, from $15 mountain top to $100 fine improved val ley. The valleys are covered over with corn and the cattle are on a thousand hills. The finest limestone wier quenches thirst and an intelligent and healthy people with fine horses and splendid turnouts smooth down their well graded roads. W. M.
