CRAIG'S BROTHER ASKED FOR NEGRO POSTMASTER PRITCHARD SHOWS THE PETITION TO CRAIG AND HE ACKNOWL EDGES THE HANDWRITING OP HIS BROTHER DEBATE IN WIL MINGTON TODAY. Special to the Gazette. Wilmington, N. C, Sept. 24. The third joint debate between Senator Pritchard and Mr. Craig today at Fay etteTille was decidely the most interest ing yet held. The debate was con cluded with an incident that was little short of sensational. Senator Pritch ard, after having had his soul tried by his competitor's continued reference to the negro, declared in tones that rang throughout the court room: "On man who petitioned me to appoint a negro postmaster at Windsor was Locke Craig's brother." As the large number of republicans caught the full significance of this as sertion they sprang form their seats in a, triumphant yell that was of long duration. Mr. Craig rose to his feet and entered a denial, whereupon the senator held the petition referred to in Mr. Craig's face. Mr. Craig immedi lately recognized the signature of his brother, A. Craig, and attempted no further denial. He did say, however, that-he knewv-the circumstances and that the man who was candidate for the office against the negro , was a rene gade, who was. worse than any negro who ever lived. Senator Prithard then, with his voice still raised, asserted that the man who was named for postmaster at Windsor possessed a character as unimpeach able as that of Mr. Craig or anybody BANNER OIL, HEATER.

" Senator Pritchard admittedly had & field day here, for this stirring incident came at the close of the best speech on the issues he has yet made. The crowd was hardly so large as that which greeted the speakers at Other points. It was, however, repre sentative to a very marked extent. A large . number of ladies were present, and it was stated that the ladies here have for the time taken an interest in poll teal discussions. When Mr. Craig begun his remarks he threw bouquet at himself by saying he was, glad to see the ladies present, and was particularly gratified to notice that they had applauded him as he rose to speakv There were no more 'bouquets thrown! until the conclusion of the speaking, when a handsome floral piece wasj handed to Senator Pritchard with th compliments of the ladies. And, speaking of the ladies, brings to mind another incident that greatly pleased Senator Pritchard. A young Georgia lady stepped up to the senator and said: "Senator, you have converted me, and I wish I could vote the re publican ticket." Col. A. H. Slocomb, Mrs. Slocomb and their beautiful daughter will go to Wilmington tomorrow to hear Senator Pritchard speak again. Mr. Craig made his usual attack on Senator Pritchard's pension record, which brought a warm retort from Sen ator Pritchard. The democrats, he said, made great pretence of a prefer ence for the Confederate soldiers, but when it came to a choice between Gen eral Carr, a brave soldier, and F. M.. Simmons, they chose the man who had never smelled gun powder. Mr. Craig had claimed prosperity was due to Providence rather than re publican principles. Senator Pritchard wondered why, if democrats were such good people as Mr. Craig claimed, that Providence did not deal kindly with them occasionally and let the country prosper under their administration. The party came to Wilmington to night. OUR FUG RAISED , BY VENEZUELAN SHIP Port of Spain, Island of Trinidad, Sept. 24.

C, Sept. 24. A pack of bloodhounds was sent from the pen itentiary to Newberry today to run down George Caughman, a negro, who last night assassinated Edward Adams, a wealthy farmer, by calling him to his door and shooting him. This was the culmination of a series of lawless acts. Caughman beat a woman living on Adams' plantation. The farmer and some friends went to Caughman's house at night, took him out dn the woods, tied and whipped him. In re venge for this Caughman slew Adams. At 11 o'clock tonight information was received from Newberry that Caughman had been caught by the dogs and had shot himself fatally. DAUGHTERS OF REBEKAH Paducah, Ky., Sept. 24.

President Roosevelt passed the last day of his western trip lying in bed, with his leg propped up on a pillow and an inter esting book in his hand. His physical conditon is all the doctors could ask, barriner the -wound on his leg. He has suffered but little pain from this to day, and Dr. Lung has not found it necessary to apply a new dressing. It has been decided to issue no bulletins as to the president's condition for fear too much importance would be attached to his disability, which the doctors say is in no sense dangerous, though tem porarily disabling. The president en joyed the most refreshing sleep last night that he has had since starting on the trip, and felt so well this morn ing that he wanted to get out of bed and sit in the parlor of his car. He, however, followed the advice of his physicians and did not arise. The president will have to remain quiet for about ten days, and it has been decided that he shall remain in Washington during that period.

Tamaqua, Pa., Sept. 24. Tomorrow four thousand state troops will be in the anthracite region. Today the Ninth regiment was ordered out. Tomorrow the Fourth will take the field. The operators' determination to work the mines with non-union men has re sulted in so much disorder that work was impossible without the protection of troops, and the operators' appeals to the governor were answered. From present indications, however, sufficient coal to supply a tenth of the demand will not be mined, even if 10,000 militia are called out. There is no indication of a general break in the strikers' ranks, and the end of the struggle is not in sight. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 24.
