Yes, Rusee'l will carry the State by nearly 45,000 plurality. This is certain. Mr. G. W. Macklin in the real estate business, and also collector in the City of Durham. No true friend of the Republican party will scratch a single name on the ticket. That is sure. Mr, Alex. McDonald, of Apex, passed through here this week en route for Clay ton to live. If this State can he carried for McKin ley it will bring prosperity and wealth within her borders. . Hon. W. F. Strowd will be elected by a handsome majority just as sure as the election day comes. Mr. and Mr?. Wesley Emerson, of Greerjsboro, visited the Durham Fair and this city a few days ago. Mrs. Daniel Jones gave a reception at her residence cn E. Edenfcon St. a few nights ago in honor of Mr. George L. Lee. The Democrats tried all they knew how to work the color-line racket two years ago and it failed; and it will fail this time. Mr. George L. Lee left the city a few days ago to accompany Dr. P. A. Hubart on his campaign lectures through (he State. Mrs. P. S. Smith has been spending a while at Holly Springs with relatives and friends. "She was accompanied by her little baby. When you hfar a colored man say he is not for J. II. Young, mark him at once. The Djinocrp ts would give a right good sum to defeat Young. The colored man was encouraged to register this time because he knew that under the new election law hisvote would be counted honestly as cast. The Democrats know they will be de feated at the polls on November 3, hence their cry and frothing at the mouth about fraud and imported negro voters. Mrs. W. P. Norcott and Mr. Hubert Edmond's sister, of Greenville, were in the city last week visiting their friends and also attending the Fair. They re turned home Saturday. We love Daniel L. Russell for the ene mies he has made. He made them by fighting the Democrats in the interest of the Repub'ican party, good government, and political freeoom. The Democrats call the "HavFeeder" (a paper published- by Mr. S. Oiho Wilson here in the city) a dirty Republican sheet. It is because the "Hayte'der" tells the public of Democratic miaiule and ras cality. We were pleased to meet at the Fair at -HDuritam-lIiv-aiid Mis. W C-Caldwell, Mr. G. W. Trice and family. Wm. Mc- n.J .1 T Jl.l...l . f fUnnnl TT . 1 1 . Messrs. W. C. Coleman, J. C. Dancey and F. W. Dixon. Rev. N. W. Watkins lot a subscription list Monday of last week, somewhere be tween Neue and Raleigh. It contained names of subscribers for the Macedonia school. Any one finding same will please return it to Rev. Watkins. Messrs. W. G. Otey, Tha. Donaldson, C. W. Hoover, W. 8. Mitchell, M. Wtts, James H. Jures, Dr. Seruges; Wm. Sand ford, Mrs. M. E. Stanley, Mrs. John H. O'Kelly, and other Raleighites took in the Durham Fair, Thursday two weeks ago. Prof. F. W. Dixon made several able speeches in Vance county a few days ago, which turned out much good for co-operation. Prof. Dixon is a brilliant and fearless young man, and he never pulls back from going wherever duty calls him. Revs. J. J. Worlds, A. B. Vincent, W. A. Jones, E. B. Blake, Dr. N. F. Roberts, Profs. Cnarle F. Meserve, and N. C. Bruce. Revs. Ellibee, H. Pair, and Mr. A. J. Rogers, of the Gazette, attended the Baptist State Convention at Greens boro last week. Rev. Wm. Sutton, on his return from Henderson, stopped over in the city and took in the Fair. The Rev. says he will make strong efforts to keep the brick workmen at work on his new church in course of erection until it is completed. The work is progressing very rapidly. Mr. Pou, in his speech at the court house on Friday night two weeks ago, made a Btrong and pitiful plea to the col ored people for tLeir votes. The boys say, ''Nay, we have a candidate of our own, in the person of the Hon. W. F. Strowd, whom we will cast our votes for." Shame! &hame! on the set of colored men here in the city who are trying to defeat the only man of the race that is on the countv ticket for the Legislature James H. Young. These gentlemen must know that if they could succeed in defeating Young, a Democrat would come in. Sheriff Rigsby, of Durham County, has made au excellent and very capable officer. He has served his people (the whole people) faithfully during the two years. Sheriff Rigsby is fair and square and deals justice out to every man. No cleverer m-n has ever been elected Sher iff in the State. His deputies are all clever and nice. The good people of Durham Cjunty will not turn loose a good thing, but will re-elect Sheriff Rigsby. Dr. P. A. Hubart, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who is connected with Livingstone Col lege as its Financial Secretary, arrived in our city a few days ago eent'here by the National Republican Committee to give Republican lectures through our State. He was sent by Chairman Holton to be gin his work at Concord. Dr. Hubart is a man of fine address, highly. cultured, and ia a ready and able speaker. He is a gentleman of high distinction. The News and Observer of two Sun ' days ago said at the head of an editorial, . "Shall we stand idly by and see Mr. Rus sell illegally elected Governor of thi9 State?" No; but the Democrats will stand quietly by and see Judge Russell inaugurated after he has been legally elected. And they will also have the pleasure (?) to live for four years under Governor Russell'" administration, and see duties performed and executed legally. The Baptist State Educational and Mis sionary Convention in its twenty-ninth annual session met in Providence Bap tist Church, Greensborr, Oct. 20th. The business of this- body was of very great i m nortance. and a larcre numher of t.rnm. inent Baptists from all over the State were present. Dr. N. F. Roberts, the President, with his usual ease and dig. nity, presided overthia grand body. The ' Convention will meet in 1897 in Char-Jotte. Now is the time to subscribe to the Ga zette. Mr. Willie Hill has been sick with chills for several days. Mr. A. D. Foushee, N.C, epent sev eral days here last week." Mr. R. II. Hackney left for Pitteboro, N. C, to see his sick mother. Mis Martha Pulley left the city Tues day of this week for Newark, N. J. Every young man that is twenty-one years of age should register his name. Mr.' John O. Gary left the city Monday of this week for Louisburg on business. Mr. A. D. Townsend was in the city last week from Salisbury. He left Mon day for Wilson. Hon. J. C. Dancy made an able and effective speech here last Saturday night to a large crowd. Rev. Charles Malone left the city Mon day for Aden, N. C. He didn't forget to subscribe for the Gazette'. Mr. S. D. Miller arrived in Durham a few days' ago from Washington, D. C, where he came to register and vote. Dr. Morehouse, of New York city, spent a few days in our city. He attended the Baptist Association at Greensboro last week. The Colored State Fair will be open on the 10th of November and will run to the 14th. Let everybody prepare their ex hibits. The premium list of the Eighteenth Annual Fair of the North Carolina In dustrial Association is out and being dis tribuced. The All-Star Dramatic Concert Troupe will render their great play, "A Pair of Spectacles," very soon. Let everybody turn out. Capt. C. A. Cook, Col. R. M. Douglass, Mr. D. H, Gill, Rev. W. R. Slade and Hon. A. R. Middleton were in the city last Monday. Prof. A. B. Vincent returned here Monday of this week from Rockingham, where he has been attending the Pee Deo Association. Rev. Spruill passed through the city Monday of this week, accompanied by Mr. C. D. Young, en route to the District Conference at Fayetteville. . Rev. A. P. Eaton passed through the city Mondav for Henderson, N. C, in the interest of White Rock Baptist Church, of Durham, of which he is pastor. Miss Louisa Mitchell arrived in the city labt week to 'spend the winter with her son,- W. S. Mitchell. Master Pearley Hembay, her grandson, came with her. Miss Lovie Thomas.-vrho.bas been re-, siding at Aberdeen, died Sundaj". Her remains were brought to Raleigh Mon day for interment. May she rest in peace. Every colored man, woman and child should b interested in their S'ate Fair. It should have the hearty co operation of the entire race in the State in order to have success. We know of some colored men in the city who are using Democratic money to try to defeat J. H. Young. Isn't it a shame! You would be surprised to know who they are. Prof. F. W. Dixon was in the city Mon day en route to Henderson, where he spoke Tuesday night of this week. He was recalled to Vance county by Chair man Holton to recanvass the county. Prof. J. H. M. Butler said to us one day lift week, whi'e we were visiting the A. and M. College at Greensboro, that th school was in a splendid condition, that its attendance had improved nearly a hundred per cent. The colored people of the State could have one of the grandest Fairs here this year if they would unite and every one take part in pressing it on to success. It is to the race's interest to show up what it can do along this line. Certainly the men who expect to mak9 their living off of the negroes here in town by their practice as professional men are trying hard to beat Jim Young and turn a Democrat in. Jim is the only colored man on the ticket, too. The "tall" man from East Raleigh is trying to employ men (colored men) to scratch Republicans on the county ticket. The only pay he offers is beer and whis key. This man is very officious in try ing to defeat Jim Young. Watch this man on the day of election. Misses Lou Mitchell, Minnie Wither spoon, Rev. and Mrs. W. A. Jones, Messrs. Wm. Wallace, H. Hunter and S. H. Towns left here last Monday for Newbern to attend the meeting of Grand Lodge, No. 2, 1. O. of G. S. and D. of S. in America, which convened on Tues day. Among the visitors in the 'city last week were: Profs. H. E. Hagacs, J. B. Dndley, Mtssrs. J. A. Cheek, Rob. Han cock, R. J, Lewis, M. L. Mott, Z. V. Wal ser, J. H. Williamson, B. W. Lankford, G. F. Smirh, W. II. Long, Robt. W. Wil liamson, J. S. McAllister, J. A. Savage, P. W. Pearce and others. Deaths. . Mrs. Martha Collins'tfifd Monday of last week at the residence of her parents, on South Blount St. Her funeral took place from the Congregational Church, of which she was for quite a number of years a constant mem tier. Rev. Dr. A. W. Curtis officiated. Mrs. Collins leaves a father, mother, two brothers, and a little babe to mourn their b ss. Mrs. Sarah Perry died on Tuesday night of last week at 9:30 o'clock at the age of 73 years. Her funeral took place on Thursday following at 3:30 o'clock from the Presbyterian Church, Rev. A. G. Davis officiating. Mrs. Perry was al ways a Christian lady and was, all through her life time, held in high es teem by all who knew her. Durham Colored Fair Magnificent Ex - Dibits. We visited the Fair at Durham and was delighted to find the numerous ex hibits so nicely arranged in their differ ent departments. Among the exhibitors we mention the work done in the manual training de partment of Durham Graded School, which was ,a great credit indeed. Miss N. C. O'Daniels was in charge of this exhibit. A magnificent (ilk quilt by Miss Nannie Faucette attracted attention. The display of the Durham Drug Co. was quite creditable. The silk quile by Mrs. Lindsay Faucette was a "beauty." The farm products exhibited by Dr. A. M. Moore proved him a farmer of ei- Eerience. The Alamance Counjy ex i bit was splendid. A McKinley hat, made by Miss Mary L. Fitzgerald. Mrs. Dr. A. Moore, some very fine hand-work. Miss Mamie Macklin, a handsome table spread. A beautiful silk quilt,' by Miss Blonnie Williamson, of Louisburg, N. C. Mrs. Allen Eaton, a fine hand-painted photo of her husband, Rev. A. Eaton; also some other fine paintings. A collection of African relics, pre sented to the Durham Graded School three years ago by Mr. James Trice when he visited this country. This exhibit was also under Miss O'Daniel's care. We are informed that the Fair was a grand success. We were pleased to see the white people take snch . an interest in the Fair. It was also largely attended f by the colored people. Messrs. Merrick, Moore, Macklin, and the rest of the officers, and also their aids, deserve great credit for their grand ef fort to have a Fair. ' W, S. Mitchell. Rocky Mount Grits. Editor Scott, of the Wilmington Senti nel, was in town fast Saturday in the in terest of his paper. He secured a goodly number of subscribers. Prof. R. A. Caldwell, of the National Protective Association of the United States, lectured to a goodly number of our people last Wednesday night. Mr. Caldwell is working up quite an intert st in our town. , Rev. J. B. Smith visited his family in Newbern last week. Quaker Drill, given by Mr. William Cook last Tuesday night, was very enter taining indeed. M. Cojk thinks of re peating it Fair week. Mrs. Martha Dancy and Mrs. Catharine Matthewson, of Tarboro, passed through last week en route to Durham. Hon. J. M. Langston, of Petersburg,' -made a routing speech to our people last Saturday. Much good was done. We are glad to know that Mr. Carter Burwell is able to be out again after a severe attack of fever. We are glad to know that Miss Ara Coble is improving from her recent at tack. What about the Parochial School this term in our town? Is it possible we are to be without anv school whatever. Mr. Haywood Mills went to Wilson last week. Of course it was lonely to Little Raleigh. It will soon be McKinley day. Have you done your duty? If not, why not? We are glad to know that Mrs. I. D. Hargett is much improved. Edgecombe should do her duty this year. Let the watchword be "Victory." We heard a Democrat say last Monday that unless they could capture Edge combe, Halifax and Northampton coun ties they could not carry North Carolina. The Republicans should take warning. A. Tarboro Flashes. Tarboro, N. CY, Oct. 12th, 1896. After a protracted iMne?8, the many friends of Mrs. Geo. H. White are glad to see her out again. Mrs. Wm. Williams took in the cen tennial on her way to Connecticut to visit her sister, Mis. Frontis Williams. Miss Georgia A. Mathewson left for Durham on the 10th, on a visit to her cousin, Mrs. Dr. A. M. Moore. A pleas ant surprise is in ttore for Mrs. Moore, in the shape of an unexpected visit from another very dear relative of this place. Mr. George Mathewson is doomed to keep bacheloi's hall for a few days. Prof . H. M. Hypsher is in the "Baro" with his graphophone. Coining silver. Snap Snots will turn up next week if the writer is well enough. Miss Mamie D Faithful is spending a few days in Greenville. Rev. J. W. Perry has been confined to his rc.om for several days. We hope for him a speedy rcevery. Miss Esther B. Eatoor is" on- the sick list. Mrs. C. C. Forbes was called home on account of the illness of a friend, to the regret of her many friends here. It was reported on the streets of Tar boro Friday , that the Democratic candi date for Governor, Cy. Watson, had been taken down, and the . Democratic vote pledged for Guthrie. If it is true, it has not been given to the public, but this writer will not be surprised at any com bination that the Democrats make or at tempc to make. They will do anything to beat Russell. Notwithstanding, Rus sell will be the next Governor of North Carolina. But we must say l hat politics make strange bed fellows nowadays. Don't forget in whooping up McKinley for President, to whoup up all ttie Re publican nominees for Congress. Don't forget that Congress makes the laws; the President only executes them. For that reason Bryan asks the Democrats not to tie his bands with a Republican Congtess in case he is elected. Snap-Shoter is sick this week. Mrs. Caesar Forbes is quite 6ick at this writing. Mr. Mathew J. Bryan, the erstwhile gallant of the "Boro," has but one girl on hand now. The other has gone to school. Every father should vote for the school tax on the 3d. We must educate or be slaves for those who do educate. Intel ligent mind is the controlling force in this world of ours. Educate, and we need have no fears of election laws. Ed ucate and the race problem will settle it self. There is no such thing as keeping highly educated people down. We are sorry to note that Mrs. P. L. Baskerville continues quite ill at her home in Hilma. Miss Maria A. Jackson is spending some time at Lawrence, the guest of Mrs. Elbert Bryan. Prof. Bjoker T. Washington, in these days of political excitement, gets his share of newspaper comment. Hear what the Brooklyn Life says of him : ""There is no mau in the country better qualified to talk about Democracy and education than Booker T. Washington, who opened the year's work at the Institution on Wed nesday night, with an address on the subject. Mr, Washington is the most eloquent negro fince Frederick Douglas, but he is something more than a orator a man of sound sense, who has been able 1 1 carry his own ideas into execution. He saw that the future of his race de pendtd lor some years, if not for eome generations, upon their mastery of handi crafts. He believed that the so-called laziness of his people was because they believed labor to be degrading, just as their owners had done in the days of slavery, and that by cultivating idleness they were approaching the standard of white "gentlemen." Ha thought he could root out that pernicious notion by teaching them mechanical trades which require intelligence, tnd bring a rate of pay which nf gro laborers could not com mand. Train ng in the handicrafts is the corner-fttone of his institution at Tuskegee, whkh is the most famous school in the S uth, except General Arm strong's, at Hampton. Mr. Washington has the courage to teach that his race will be respected just as fast as it amounts to something, and that the social position of a negro who owns a two-story house wiih no mrrfgag9 thereon will take care of itself. His career justifies the truth of his doctrines. Mr. Washington is one of the most popular speakers that comes to Brooklyn." Tne above extract shows where the negro must inevitably put in his work, to be felt in the affairs of this nation. At present the uplifting forces of the race are lost eight of in the furore of the mighty "soap-grease" campaign. - Court is in session and the town is crowded. Taxes frightened Walter L. Main from the "Boro' The Tall Man From East Raleigh. The "tall" man from the East is so anxious for J. H. Young's defeat lhat in street arguments he renders himself somewhat obnoxious as well as very offi cious. This "tall" man is the very man who opposed our Republican nominee for County Clerk a few years ago. This opposition comes with very poor grace from a man who is a standing candidate every two years for the same position. Hon. J. E. Fowler Misrepresented. Clinton, N. C, Oct. 18, 1896. I notice in the News and Observer of the 16th instant, that I am represented as being in the mpeting of the committee recently held in Raleigh, and that I held a proxy and favored Democratic and Populist C"Nm. 1 held no proxy and took no pel further than to harmon ize the the minority with the majority' f the committee. iriew correction in tne uau- ca&i' J. E. Fowler. Trying to Ealse the Color Line. - We inform Mr: F. B. Arendell of the News and Observer, that if it be true that 20,000 more negroes have registered than ever before, it is due to the fact that the election law parsed by the Republican and Populist Legislature made it possi ble for every honest and legal elector to register, and thev have registered. Un der your rotten Democratic election law you were able to prevent the registering of a great number of colored voters. By other and various methods your party was able, under that election law, to prevent from voting and to count out hundreds and thousands of negro voters on voting day. Your weak effort, Mr. Arendell, and the weakne-s of other Democrats -and Democratic newspapers, to raise the color line, is simply an old, rotten pile of trash you have bad the laboring class of white men stumbling and falling dver for eigh teen or twenty years. The working and farming whites came to tha conclusion two years ago that the Democratic party bad been fooling them long enough with that old, played-out stuff. It's a "boom erang" you and your party are trying to play now, since you failed to perfect fu sion with the Populists after your State Committee's two months' prayer and beg ging them to fuse with you. W. S. Mitchell. Hon. Oscar J. Spears. Editor of The Gazette. Hon. Oscar J. Spears, a Republican Elector Slate-at-Large, held an audience of 2,000 spell-bound in Craven county court house, October 22d. The gentle man wa3 ably introduced by Mr. J. L. Habn, chairman of Republican Execu tive Committee, and alo the Republican nominee for Sheriff. The speaker spoke for two long hours, and during this en tire time Republicans were fed on Repub licans heavenly manna, while Democrats were given sure cure pills. The speaker was interrupted frequently by tumultu ous plaudits of applause. The speaker reviewed the record of the Democratic party and compared it with the brilliant record of the Republican party. Right here the speaker grew elo quent and the crowd went wild over the beauty of language and his matchless force of argument for sound money and good government, a free ballot and a fair count. Here he mentioned the name of the nation's choice for President, and at once the house went wild in applause for sev eral minutes. He then mentioned the name of ex-Judge D. L. Russell, and the audience gave vent to their feelings in a manner to guarantee and warrant the election of Mr. Ru:sell Governor of North Carolina. At the close of one of the most logical and unanswerable speeches ever delivered in our ppacious court house, Cape. Robt. Hancock, nominee of the party for the -L5ris'ature, stepped forward and propo sed three cheers for the Nation's choice, ex Govermr Wm. McKinley, for Presi dent; ex Judge Russell for Governor; Senator J. C. Pritchard to succeed him self, and for a general Republican land slide throughout. This proposal was con curred in by the waving of. four thou sand hands going up and two thousand hats and haukercbiefs. J. H. 3. An Echo from Ileanfort ' County lion. Zeb. Vance Walter at Washington, j. c. The Eat is aglow with political fire. Old Beaufort county will out-do herself in the coming election. Never was the Republican party in better trim for bat tle. The speech of that brained states man, a&tute lawyer aud stalwart Repub lican, Hon. Zeb. Vance Walser, filled every one with political enthusiasm, and its influence is seen and feit everywhere. Mr. Walser went for the Democratic party with gloves off, and showed it up as the party of broken promises, etc. That great Republican leader and prince of politicians of North Carolina, Hon. D. L. RuRsell, is Lideed popular "down here, and Beaufort county will do what she has not done in many years give him and the rest of the State and National ticket a handsome majority. McKinley Hobart, gold and protection, is our watchword, and our people were never more hopeful and determined. The registration of our forces is larger than ever before, and has surprised the enemy so. that confusion reigns in their camps. Hon. Harry Skinner, the fusion candidate for Congress, will be elected by a large majority, while everything points to Republican success. I do not mean to say that the battle has been fought and the victory won we are now in the hotest of the fray and the victory will depend on our labors through the campaign and our loyalty to the polls. Yours for success, L. R. Randolph. Washington, N. C. - Death of Mrs. Jordan Crndup. At Kittrell, N. C, October 7th, 1896, Sister Pennie Crudup, the wife of Mr. Jordan Crudup, of Kittrell, and the mother of J. D. Crudup, of this city, departed this life at her residence. She was faithful and dutiful to her church, and a true worker in the Woman's Home Mission Society. On Friday before her d.-ath, the members of said Sxjiety met at the residence of Sister Crudup, and after singing eome beautiful hvmns. prayer was offered up by Sister Malicia Tharring'on. Sister Pennie got very happy. She said she would never meet them again on this earth, but wanted them to meet her in heaven. She died in her 5l8t year, and leaves a devoted mother, husband, six boys and four girls. The community has lost one of its best neigh bors and the church one of its truest members. She was buried with the honors of the W. H. M. Society, of which she was a member. All her children were around her bed side when she breathed her last, except her married daughter Lizzie, and her eldest eon, J. D. Crudup, who were tele graphed for; but they arrived just a few hours too late to bid her good-bye. May she rest in peace. The Second Annual Holiness Convoca tion of North Carolina, Held at Ox ford, Sep. 27th to Oct. 4th, 180G. The first service was held at the Second Baptist Church Sunday at 5 a. m. At tnat early hour there was a good attend ance. At eleven o'clock the introductory sermon was preached to a large number of attentive hearers. Text, John x. 10. The sermon was an able one, and was lisiened to with much interest. The 3 o'clock service was devoted to Bible read ing, showing the Bible order 'of sanctifi cation and holiness, and how to obtain it. The Convocation was a surprise to many, as it had been so badly misrepresented; but finding it made up of noble-heai ted Christian men and women, occupying every position in the churches of the various denominations, from the layman to presiding elder, the people willingly, fell in line. "It has seldom been seen so many different denominations working so harmoniously together as in this case." Acts iv. 31, 33. The object of the' Convocation is to build up and strengthen Christianity and not to tear down nor injure any church or people. We had some very able ser mons preached. The Binging was good and captivating. , The songs were in spiring. The business meetings were in perfect harmony with the several denom inations, working together for the pro motion of - holiness. Not a jar. No not one, seem to have had anything in his heart but perfect love toKvard both God and man. We stayed in Oxford eight days, and the meeting' was well attended, and large crowds continued to come. At the close of the Convocation we left Ox ford. A host of the saints and friends ac companied us to the depot and watched and waived after the train as she went speeding away with the saints, making for their different homes. A Witness. New Goods. The new fall goods are piling in by every train. We have the biggest stock of fall and winter goods we have ever had, and we are going to sell them. No matter how little money you , have, it will buy more here than in any other store in the State. You are .invited to come in often and bring a friend. Shoes from 75 cents up. See US be fore you spend your money. W. E. Jones, 206 Fayetteville Street. -THE- COLORED FAIR The North Carolina Industrial Asso ciation will hold its Eighteenth Annual Fair Nov. 10-14, 1896.
