Gen. Jullam S. Carr, competitor of
democratic State Chairman Simmons
for senatorial honors, spent yesterday
amd' last night in Asheviile.
General Oarr made the Swannanoa
hotel iritis hjeadquartars, and from that
point of vantage miajde sundry sorties
about town, meeting; old friencU and
making' new one. He did not come
to the mountains for a public speech
making tour, but 4s making1 a still
huint.
During the past three weeks the
Carr forces have1 mniade undoubted
headway to As'hevlUe. -With a mere
handful of notable exceptions, such as
James H. Loughran and W. J. Oocke,
the politicians are against Carr, but
his friends claim that two Important
classes axe with him business men
and men identified' with the labor or
ganizations. The Workman, the la
bor organ, of tibe city, is supporting
Oarr's caindidacy, and no protest has
come fromi any labor source, although
the paper in question! has never before
taiken part in politics. The "Workman
says that Oarr lias always 'been the
friend of labor, and that with hdm ac
tions have spoken1 louder than ;words on
a number of occasiians, when he let the
pay of his large number of employes
go on when they were unaWe, for va
rious reason, to perform their work.
Therefore, for this and! oitiher reasons',
the Workriaim thinks (that When the
cAaims of Mr.. Carr are to be considered!
in connection with the claims of a cor
porationiist, the honest laboring main has
only one course open' 'to him.
Mr. Oarr said yesterday to a repre
sentative of the Gazette: "Yes, I find
my friends have -been active in (this
part of the srbaite, and I am altogether
pleased with the situation-. I shall now
go hack to- Raleigh 'to spend a day or
so at 'the fair, after which, I shall put
in- all my (time until election dlay east
of Raleigh. I should have done this
some time ago, but my friends insisted
that I should visit itihemi lin different
parts of the .western election of the
state. I always accomplish something'
when I go east."
General Oarr spent most of yesterday
iia comipany with R. P. "Walker, who
is one- of his mosti active supporter. It
is the custom of the Simmon people,
who -want 'to promote an unfriendly ri
valry in the ranks of :the opposition, to
refer to IMr. Walker as the official rep
resentative of Mir. Oarr for Buncomhe
county.
The 'Oarr supporters were all wear
ing Oarr 'buttons yesterday, ana (were
frequently heardl to remark thlat their
mian would be elected with, a fair
election. The average Oarr democrat
has no more respect for or confidence
in Simimons' electiooi methods than has
the republican etaite executive commit
tee.

MADISON SQUARE THEATRE, NEW YORK,
(The reipresetoitative American Comedy
Company) . Presenting
THE PRESENT SEASON'S STJCCfiJSS
Snpt Tighe's Report of Work Some
Departments Greatly Crowded.
Superintendent R. J. Tighe, in his
report to the school committee of the
work done in the city schools for the
first'month, says:
The schools, both white and colored,
Shave all opened with unprecedented
enrollments and notwithstanding we
have added a new room at Orange and
a new school of five grades for colored
children on Hill street, many depart
ments are still crowded. Indeed many
of the lower grades are in quite a con-
ecateu curaaiuon. XNOtaoly among
these are first, second and fourth
grades at Orange; the first, second and
fourth at Montford; the first at Bailey;
the first and second at "West End; the
first at Hill street, and the first at Ca
tholic Hill. All of these grades have
over sixty pupils enrolled, several have
more than seventy, and the first grade
at "West End and Hill street have 90
and 91 respectively. In these grades
the only solution of the problem seemed
to be a division of the grade into two
sections, each to attend half the day
"While this is not the most desirable
state of affairs, it is the hest that could
be done under the circumstances. In
the fourth grades at Orange and iMont
iora tnis couio not oe done, out we
have endeavored to make all comforta
ble by supplying seats, and the best
ventilation possible.
The enrollment for the month
follows:
Boys Girls
Orange 281 317
Montford 216 258
Bailey 114 80
West End 77 76
Catholic 153 180
Hill street school.. 63 73
As the school census, that is all per
sons between 6 and 21 years of age, on
Octofber 1, 1900, was 3,922, the enroll
ment of the public schools for the first
month is about 50 per cent of the total
school population of the city. I think
it is fair to suppose that about 5 per
cent or more attend private schools and
colleges, so that, I think, we can safely
suppose that about 5 per cent, of the
persons of school age in this city are
now attending school.
The attendance for the month shows
an urgent need for a larger and better
building at the "West End, where the
rooms are now too small to comforta
bly seat more than 20 or 25 pupils each.
I trust we may be able to do something
before the year ends to relieve the con
ditions existing there at present.
I wish to add that the schools show
the same steady growth which they
have shown in the past. This is due
to the ever present enthusiasm and un
tiring efforts of our teachers, as well
as the wider interest that is being
daily manifested iby parents in matters
educational. While there are still
many parents who are unaware of the
value to their children of punctuality
and regularity in their 'attendance,
their number is becoming less year by
year. The first school month always
shows a great laxness in this respect,
but experience usually shows an im
provement as the session progresses. I
therefore ask an optimistic considera
tion of the appended reports.
The grade which made the best rec
ord as to attendance was that under
Miss Carson at West End with 99.7
per cent, and the best as to punctual
ity was the seventh grade of the Mont
ford school, under Miss Gray, having
no tardies.
The average attendance for the high
school department for the month was
over 98 1-2 per cent. The best record of
Orange' was made by the eighth grade,
under Mr. Winn; that at Montford was
made by the seventh grade, under Miss
Gray; that at Bailey was made by the
I second grade, under MissMatoh; that
at West End was made by the third
and fourth grades under Miss Carson;
that at Oatholic Hill was made by the
grades under Mr. Lipscombe, and that
at Hill street was made by the grade
under Miss Earle.
Other grades worthy of honorable
mention are the following:
Orange, eighth grade, attendance,
per cent.
Orange, sixth grade, attendance,
per cent.
Montford, sixth grade, attendance,
per cent.
Montford, third grade, attendance, 99
per cent.
As an Inducement to Get Them to Vote the Democratic
Ticket Bait Alao Thrown Out by Bryan.
Editor of the Gazette.
During the last campaign the voters of the state were assured by the
leaders of the democratize party that In the event the proposed amendment
to our constitution was adopted that the cry of negro domination would
cease, and that intellectual freedom o f thought- would be accorded to each
individual. Some of the leaders who made these, prof esslons are today doing
all they can to once more arouse the prejudices of the people in order to In
jure the republican ticket, but In doin g so they place Mr. Bryan in a very
awkward attitude before the American people. In a speech delivered at
Minneapolis some time since in reply to an address which had been deliv
ered by the president of the Minnesota Colored Men's league, among other
things, IMf Bryan said: ;
"IF BY THE SUFFRAGE OF MY COUNTRYMEN. I BECOME PRES
IDENT OF THE UNITED STATES YOU MAY REST ASSURED THAT
THE RIGHTS OF A CITIZEN OF THIS COUNTRY, REGARDLESS OF
COLOR, CREED OR CONDITION, WILL BE PROTECTED AS FAR AS
THE EXECUTIVE HAS POWER TO PROTECT THEM."

Here we have a declaration of Mr. Bryan that in the event of his elec
tion he will do all in his power to prot ect the colored man in his right to
vote and hold office.
Senator Jones, chairman of the national democratic committee, is quoted
as saying:
"I THINK IT ALMOST AN INSULT TO THEM TO CONSIDER THE
CITIZENSHIP OF A COLORED MAN A THING APART FROM THE
BODY POLITIC."
In a signed interview given out by S enator Jones in the New York Her
ald of. Sunday, October 21, among other things he said:
"THE5 NEGROES, WHO HAVE LONG HELD THE BALANCE OF POW
ER IN SUCH STATES AS ILLINOIS, INDIANA AND OHIO, ARE
BREAKING AWAY FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY . THE COLOR
ED MEN FEAR IMPERIALISM AND CAN SEE NO HOPE FOR THEIR
FUTURE IN A GOVERNMENT BY TRUSTS. THE COLORED MEN
OF ILLINOIS, OHIO AND INDIANA HAVE MADE REPUBLICAN
PRESIDENTS, BUT NORTHERN COLORED MEN ARE NEVER RE
WARDED WITH OFFICE WHEN THE REPUBLICANS ARE IN POW
ER IN WASHINGTON. THE OFFICES ARE GIVEN TJ SOUTHERN
NEGROES IN PAYMENT FOR WORK IN CONVENTIONS, WHILE THE
COLORED MEN IN THE DOUBTFUL OR REPUBLICAN STATES ARE
IGNORED. DURING THE DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATIONS THE
NORTHERN COLORED MEN RECEIVED THE OFFICES. THE DRIFT
OF THE COLORED VOTE IN THE NORTH TO BRYAN IS MUCH LARG
ER THAN IS GENERALLY SUPPOSED.
"THESE ARE SOME vF THE REASON'S WHY I FEEL SATISFIED
WITH THE PRESENT OUTLOOK AND WHY I BELIEVE THAT BRYAN
WILL BE ELECTED."
At last, we have a declaration from th e chairman of the democratic execu
tive committee that Mr. Bryan's election depends upon the colored vote
in the states of Illinois, Ohio and India na, and he bases his claim for the
success-of Mr. Bryan in these states upon the fact that the negroes resid
ing therein are working for the succes s of the democratic ticket, and as an
inducement to the negroes of that secti ion to vote the democratic ticket he
calls attention to the fact that when the democrats were in power that the
negroes residing in northern stateswere given the offices, and by implication
assures mem tnat m xne event mat mr. jDiyau is eie'cx.eu mat tney wui
again be given the offices.
If Mr. Jones is justified in promising the negroes of the north federal of
fices as an Inducement to get them to vote the democratic ticket isn't it flair
to assume that our democratic friends are not warranted in declaring
in JNortn Carolina tnac tne repuDiican party is me negro party,
and that McKinley's re-election will result in giving negroes official position.

Mrs. Alphia Penland Borrowed $7,000
from Samuels through Friedman in
1894. Later Mrs. Penland gave a deed
of trust to J. E. DickersoB, as trustee,
to secure Mrs. Alvey. Two years ago
Mr. Dickerson foreclosed the deed of
trust and Mrs. Alvey bought the prop
erty in subject to first mortgage. Mrs.
Alvey afterwards qualified as admin
istratrix of Mrs. Penland, and has
brought suit to recover double the
ampunt of the entire interest paid by
Mrs. Penland and Mrs. Alvey since
she bought the property, and asks that
the same be set off against this note of
57,000, and that the sale of land under
the first deed of trust to Jacob Fried
man be restrained. Judge Allen has
issued a temporary restraining order
and this order will be taken up Thurs
day.
Mrs. Alvey charges that Samuels
compelled Mrs. Penland to pay usury.

"'WHERE IS THE NEGRO?"
Now and then we are afford'eid the
opportunity of hearing about saich pop
ular subiects as will give the people ax
home enlarged ideas concerning the
ineopfle at large. These occasion should
not 'be considered trifles, however pop
ular atnd time worn, etc., the subject
might seem. Rev. (Nathaniel u. -rin,
a.' mian of wide travel 'and' experi' nice,
little Christian culture, will
give an address' in the Youing Maa'B In-
sihiiruibe. Thursday evening, ocitooer zo,
1900. The service will begin at s:du p
m. The subject is, "Where IB the Ne
sro?" The information will he given
'by this eteiqiient speaker for the small
jurlmHssioni fee of ten ctemts1. Remember
the time andi place Thursday, 8:30 p.
m., Odtober 25, 1900, at the Young Men's
3t
last night and this morning prevented
the democrats from making a success
of the big barbecue they had planned
to hold at Iromduff today. Thousands
of posters had been circulated through-
-out the country, telling of the great
gathering to come. Lee S. Overman,
T. J. Jarvis and other distinguished
orators had been engaged; five cattle,
two hogs and one thousand loaves of
bread had been purchased but, art -v
all this, the weather seemed to be
against our democratic friends. It is
not known just now whether another
attempt will be made to celebrate; but
your correspondent would advise the
opposition to jollify between now and
the 6th of next month after that time
the republicans will take the floor.
The Courier of last week observed
that "it is difficult to secure labor
here." Under the democratic admin
isration no such item could be truth
fully written. And yet the Courier is
exerting all its force to help bring a
change by the election of Bryan.
Should Mr. Bryan win then the Courier
could reproduce the above local with
this change: "It is difficult for laborers
to secure employment."
The Courier also talks against ex
pansion. As on the money question the
Courier has had to "eat dirt" on this
issue. Only a few years ago when the
Hawaiian question was being discuss
ed, the Courier came out in a ringing
editorial urging annexation, stating
that we could not afford to permit these
islands to fall into the hands of some
other nation. But the editor, being
meek and obedient, and always allow
ing his own convictions and opinions
to be smothered for the sake of being
in line with the party party, bows sub
missively each time to the leaders'
change of front. In a few .years, when
the democrats recover froni the present
attack of Bryanism, even though all
the earth may be antagonistic to -heir
changed schemes, the WaynesVille
Courier will support unequivocally
whatever jmay be called the democratic'
party. On short notice it faces about
so quickly as tx leave is back pockets
in front.
The republicans of Haywood are get
ting ready for the fray next month and
each day indicates gains for Moody.
Crawford has heen a candidate one
time too many.
Horn a vacation extending over some
weeks. The work of the association
has grown under Mr. Van Horn's
faithful administration until it has be
come quite onerous, and the education
al work being well under way and oth
er departments running smoothly, the
board thought this much needed rest
should be given him. In his absence
Mr. Linton B. Matthews, of New
York, will have charge of the secre
tary's work. Mr. Matthews has had
considerable training in New York city
qualifying him: admirably for the posi
tion. .

An Exciting Incident of the Senator-
ship Squabble.
Salisbury N. C. Oct. 23. In the heat
of the senatorship contest the demo
crats are accusing each other of most
of known crimes. This town and sev
eral others are still talking about the
flight of Varner the recently elected la
bor commissioner. Varner, it is stat
ed, said that Baldy Boyden had sold
out "Carr's money wa3 talkine
through him." Boyden took exception
to this and with Walter Murphy went
on a hunt for Varner. They met and
Boyden, it is alleged, struck at Varner
with a knife. They were separated by
friends and Varner escaped. He fled
to Spencer and took the first train.
Meanwhile Murphy, with a club, and
Boyden, with his knife, went through
the train at the Salisbury depot in
search of the fugitive, and it is fortu
nate for Varner that he was not there.
