Joint Debate is Illiterate Man's Only Way of Learning Truth, Democrats Underestimate the Man hood of the Voters of the State. THE AMENDMENT OFFERED BY THtE PEOPLES PARTY WILL. DO MORE TO SETTLE THE RACE QUESTION THAN THE ONE NOW PENDING, AND THERE IS NO jJ ANGER TO THE WHITE VOTER IN IT. Gazette Bureau, Washington, May 2. Senator Butler, under date of April 30, sent the following reply to Chair man Simmons, in answer to his letter of declination for a joint debate be tween the candidates of the populist and democratic parties: Hon. F. M. SimanoDs, Chairman Dem ocratic State Committee, Raleigh, N. C: Dear Sir: Your letter of the 21st in stant, declining my request for a joint canvass between the candidates of the people's party for senator and state officers and the candidates of the dem ocratic party for like positions, and giving your alleged reasons for de clining, has been received. I understand thoroughly that you are afraid of the result of a joint discus sion in this campaign, but it is for "reasons" other than those you state. I can understand that you have some good and strong reasons for fearing to let the people hear both sides of , the great questions at issue, presented on the stump in joint discussion, but you dare not state tnose real reasons. Your bogus reasons are given to try to call attention from the real ones. You seem not to be aware of the fact that the people of North Carolina are fairminded to a marked degree, and desire to hear both sides of every im portant question "presented in joint discussion, so that they may the (better get at the truth, and then make up their judgment accordingly before they vote. This is especially true in this campaign. Besides, the only opportun ity that the illiterate white voter has to get at the facts and truth about the real questions at issue, is to go to irlr HisAiisslAns in1 tipar hrifh c1rifa present their arguments, face to face on me stump, ana in xms campaign. when the illiterate white voter's right to vote in the future and that of his children is at stake, he has a right to demand that every candidate, and ev ery party, that asks for his vote, shall be willinar to meet his ooDonent on the stUmp, and he is justified in suspecting the sincerity and honesty of those who are afraid to do so. You say that since the people's party I convention aeciarea mat tne constitu- that there is no issue between us on that question, and that when I chal- lenged you and your party candidates to a joint discussion on the merits and demerits of that important quest-on, including the election law and other j issues at stake, that I am guilty of try ing to raise issues that the convention of my party did not raise. It is true that the people's party convention de clared that the proposed amendment was a great question, above party lines, but at the same time, that con vention pointed out specifically not only the objectionable features that appear upon its face, but also the great dangers that lurk behind it: It is as to these points with reference to the amendment, which -were raised by the convention, on which I challenged you and'your party to a joint discussion and on which you dare not meet us. Yes, it is true, that the people's par ty convention declared that the amend !??J (Partial Li8t) FURNISHED 7-noom house $40 per month. 9 -room houee,$50 per month. 5-room fiat, $32 per month. 11- room house, $60 per month. 8 - room house, $55 per month. 5-room house, $40 per month. 9- room house, $75 per month.

There- are many voters in all partieswho believe that the proposed amendment is in violation of the federal constitution. aCn such a democratic voter (even if he did favor the purposes of the proposed amend ment) vote for it without violating his solemn oath to support the constitution of the United States? Do you intend to lay the party lash on the backs of such voters, and try to force them with abuse and ostracism to vio'.ate their consciences and also their oaths? You evidently do not believe that you could convert such voters by argument and reason in a joint discussion. Permit me to remind you that you underestimate Jthe manhood and inde pendence of the voters of North Caro lina if you think they will submit again to ruffianism, red-shirtism and wholesale debauchery of the ballot box, and that you also underestimate the in telligence of the voters of the state if you think they will be misled by the flimsy and absurd reasons which you give for fearing a joint discussion; or if you think they will believe blindly your many fair promises made aeain in this campaign in the face of your qolemn pledges made and broken in the last campaign. You solemnly pledged the people in the last campaign that if they would put your party in power that no scheme would be submitted for dis franchising any voters in the state. You pledged the people that not a single man in- the legislature would fa vor such a scheme. You solemnly de clared that ' a democratic state con vention "would spit upon" any man J who would offer such a proposition. You denounced every man who made such a charge ass a slanderer and a liar. It was not the- people's fault that you fooled them then; it was your fault. Do you think you can fool them again? You are now declaring daily that the proposed amendment will not disfran chise a single white man. If you be lieve this and can make it plain to the voters, why are you afraid to meet us in joint discussion on the stump? If a joint campaign were arranged, a much larger percentage of the voters of all parties would go to the joint speakings to hear both sides presented. Are you afraid for these voters to hear both sides? If you and the candidates of your party had confidence in the soundness and justness of the position for which you contend, you would desire a Joint discussion, for in this way you ould get not only more populist voters but also more democratic voters out to hear your arguments, and thus you would stand a getter chance of gaining votes. You boast that you want the white people to rule, but when you refuse a joint discussion, do you not admit that you are afraid for the white people of the state to hear the Issues discussed by opposing candidates, face to face? The fact is, you are afraid of the truth. You are afraid for the masses of your own party to attend joint dis cussions and see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears, the ex posure of your false and untenable position. You know that with such a joint discussion the verdict of the ma jority of the white people of the state would be against you. You are attempting to fool the illiter ate white man (whose ignorance is no fftult of his) into jeopardizing his right to vote, and that of his children after him, and thus to be put on a plane be low that of the fifty thousand negroe3 who would be left to vote. You know the danger there is in this amendment for him and yet you every day gliibly promise that this amendment will pro tect forever his right to vote. You are afraid for the illiterate white voter, and also the educated voter, to hear on the stump in reply to this promise of yours the opinions of such great con stitutional lawyers as Senator Teller,. Senator Stewart, Senator Allen, Sena tor Edmunds, Senator Pettigrew, and other great constitutional lawyers of the senate and country. You know that in carefully written opinions, jthege t con-'stitutional lawyers have a.mPnflmPnt ia un- (Continued on Fifth Page.) Woods seeds. Grant's pharmacy. Wood's Lawn Grass.

Adams; Republican Candidate for Governor. j - I Special to the Gazette. Greensboro, N. C, May 3. Spencer B. Adams, republican candidate for governor, returned to this city this morning. He was welcomed at the sta tion, at his . home and his office by congratulating friends, among whom were many democrats. Judge Adams stated that the cam paign would open with speaking at Winston on May 15. He said he had no particle of doubt that the demo cratic party and its policies were al ready defeated in the state by a very large majority, and he was equally certain that the sentiment favorable to the republican party and its position Dn the issues of the day would steadily grow in strength as the campaign ad vanced. L The acceptance of th nominatinn for governor means much sacrifice to a busy lawyer. Judge Adams says, How ever, that he should place himself ab solutely at the disposal of the execu tive committee for a thorough canvass of the state. Judge Spencer B. Adams is recogniz ed throughout the state as a man of splendid character and ability. On the bench and at the bar, in business affairs, in public and in private life he has proved himself worthy of honor and of trust. A strong and level head ed man aggressive, yet conservative, warmly loved by his friends, of whom he has a host, and respected by ev erybody. Says a friend writing of him: "It has been said that 'some men are born great, that some achieve great ness, whilst others have greatness thrust upon them.' Before accepting the first proposition as true, It is nec essary to ascertain what is meant by the expression 'born great.' If it means that the man born in affluence and luxury is necessarily great, then it has no application to the subject of this sketch; but if it refers to one en dowed by nature with a vigorous men tality, high sense of honor and worthy aspirations, then, indeed, is the syl logogism complete in the life and character of Spencer B. Adams." Judge Adams was born Octoger 15, 1860, in Surry county. His father was a successful farmer and young Adams' youth was spent on ZINC VEIN FOUND . Findlay, Ohio, May 3. A vein of zinc has been found at a depth of 900 feet here by workmen drilling for oil. The vein is thirty feet thick. Great ex citement prevails. IF YOU BUY R.

He was educated at the common schools and academies of his native county. His parents died when he was yet a youth leaving him alone to fight the battles of life unaided. His educa tion, like that of some of the greatest men of America, was of that common, practical kind, that gives the student an insight and sympathy wi the struggles and difficulties' of the great toiling masses. He studied at the famous law school of Messrs. Dick & Dillard, at Greens boro, and obtained license to practice law at the February term, 1882, of the Supreme court; located in the town of Yanceyville, where he was happily married 'to Miss Lizzie Swift, of his adopted town. Mr. Adams was nominated by the re publican party and triumphantly elect ed clerk of the Sup rior court of Cas well county, which position he ably filled for fourteen years, resigning in 1896, to take the position of judge to which he was elected by a majority of about 40,000 votes, qualifying as judge January 1, 1897, it being the first in stance in North Carolina where a clerk was elevated to the bench during his term as clerk. During his fourteen years incumbency in 'the clerk's office he availed himself of the advantages of the position to read law and thoroughly equip himself for the practice of his profession Always an active, zealous republican, yet his manner of life, his efficiency, and gentle bearing has made nim many friends in the opposite party, wtio have supported him for every officeor which 'he has been a candidate. Judge Adams continued on the bench in the Fifth judicial district tfor two years when in 1898 he resigred to ac cept the congressional nomination of his party.. Judge Aaams is secretary and treas urer of the -North Carolina railroad, and has a large law practice in this city, where he removed from Yancey viile a year and a half ago. In religion Judge Adams is a Baptist. In sympathy, by instinct and from cr-oice, he is a tribune Of 'the people, whose heart and hand is open, to the extent of his ability to aid and assist his fellow man.

The belief is gowing here that Aguinaldo was killed by Igo rottis. There is no proof that ne has. been alive since Major Pevton c. Marsh of the Thirty-Third Volunteer regiment abandoned the chase after the Filipino leader in the Benquet mountains, al though their insurgent officer who re cently surrendered to General Young says the insugen't General Tinio be lieves him dead. Friends of Aguinaldo's wife assert that she has heard nothing from hira eince they parted. She is in 'delicate condition and nearly prostrated with worry. A dispatch received here today from Iloilo reports a desperate fight at Leam banao in the centre of the island of Panay. It appears that a reconnoiter ing party of the Twenty-sixth Volun teer infantry surrendered and that four Americans were killed and sixteen others severely woundea and left on the field. The remainder of the soldiers had a narrow escape. The dispatch adds that reinforcements wer eent from Iloilo as soon as news of the affair wa received, whereupon 'the ' Fillnlnos re treated to tneir mountain strongholds. NOT FAINTEST HOPE OF ANY ONE LIVING In thcScliofisld Mine Great Force of Air. Salt Lake, May 3. Cnly 13 bodies were taken out of the Winter Quarters mine at Scofield today. According to some counts ithe total number of bodies taken out will amount to 225 while other place the number higher. Salt Lake, May 3. So far almost 200 bodies have been recovered from the Scofield mine, and it is thought suffi cient bodies yet remain to oring the list of dead to near 300. Nobody entertains the faintest hop that there is a living man in the mine. It is now almost a question of recover ing 'the bodies of the victims, and, this cannot be finished for several days. xiie fact that the rush of air from the moiith of the main entry of the mine was sufficient to blow a man and team across the gulch 200 yards serves to in dicate the force exerted within the workings of the mine and in the imme diate vicinity of the explosion. At the coal company's store every thing is being given out free of charge that the families of the dead are in im mediate need of, and the store is being kept open day and night. The relief fund last night amounted to $780, and contributions in the shape of money and provisions are being re ceived from many places in and out of the state. MAY LEAVE KANSAS CITY.
