GOLDSBORO, JST. C. THURS DAY AUGUST 16. 1894 NO. 21 wllfll It " WW THE STATE CONVENTION. A Great Gathering of Democratic Clans. Its Action, Unanimous, Harmonious and Satis tory. lvAr.KlCH, Aug. H. SPECIAL.'! The State Convention was called to order by Hon. F. M. Simmons, who named J. C. Bux ton, of Forsyth county, as tem porary chairman. The conven tion was a large one, and repre sentative of an intelligent De mocracy. The co mm it toe on permanent organ"z ition reported, naming 11. A. Doughton, of Alle gliany, as permanent chairman. A resolution was unanimously adopted, re-nominating Shep pard, Clark, -McKae and Burwell. for the Supreme court, and Tate for State treasurer. The platform adopted- was short and comprehensive, de claring for Democratic' principle and reiterating the financial plank of the Chicago platform. A resolution complimenting Mr. Cleveland was passed. Mr. Murphy, of Cumberland county, introduced a resolution providing for primaries, on general eloc ion day, for United States Sena torship, and it was laid on the able by a vote of 671 to 1. TriK STATE DEMOCRACY. As will l.e S"o;j in our spec'al from Raleigh in this issue the State Democratic convention was a great gathering of the clans one of the most numerously attend- d and one ol the most repre sentative the State has ever had and they did their work well They were tru .j to the principles and true to the customs of tho party, and all credit should be -tVen them. The unanimous reiiomiiiation of Shepherd for Chief Justiee, MacKae, Clark and Burwell for associate Jus, i es, and Tate for Treasurer, was highly proper. The compliment to President Cleveland was right and just auit salutary. The reiteration of the financial plank of the Chicago platform was sound to the core and the overwhelming defeat of the primary makeshift was the essence of patriotic Democracy. This move for a primary at ah the polling places m North Car olina was brought forward and has been constantly urged in numerous epistolary correspond ence through the public prints by Senator Jarvis iu his own be half. He thought ho was the most popular man in North Car 'olina. and desired to prove by primaries that he was the popu lar choice over Senator Ransom for the U. S. Sonatorship. The vote by which his pt scheme was defeated iu the State con vention (VJl to -Irt shows the relative popularity of Matt W. hansom and Thos. J. Jarvis in North Carolina, and it shows also how badly Ransom would have beaten Jarvis even if the primary test had been adopted. From whom does the editor of the Concord Standard obtain his information concerning the rela tive strength of Ransom and Jarvis iu eastern North Carolina? In this section the opposition to Senator Ransom is largely sustained by disappointed office seekers. But notwithstanding that fact. Ransom is far in the lead. How can the people of North Carolina forget to uphold and support, by their suffrage, the man who treeiy gave every bale of cotton on his farm to be sold for the defence of R. A. Shot well? Can they forget the su lerb man who, alone, went to Elizabeth City ' and persuaded Judge Brooks to go to Raleigh and open court that he might hear the habeas citrpwt- cases which released the political pris oners held by Kirk, uinjer orders from Holden: Judge Merrimon. ex-Governor Bragg and others informed Ran som that there was no law to justify Brooks in issuing the writs. However, Ransom then a farmer, now farmer and Sena tor tore trom a law book an old Federal statute, placed it in his rocket, hastened to Norfolk thence, by canal boat to Eliza beth City. For two days, at the residence of Judge Brooks, he argued the cause of the people pleading that the prison doors be thrown open. Brooks at last consented to go to Raleigh and issue the writs now famous in the history of North Carolina Ransom telegraphed the attor nevs of the prisoners that all was well. '"Brooks goes to Ra leijrh. Then, returning: to his farm in North ilampton and re suming his quiet pursuits, drop ped out of sight as the solitary moves? to begin the work which resulted in the downfall of the Republican regime in North Car olma. The people of North Carolina arc not forgetful of their chival rous men, nor unmindful of pub lie benefactors nor ungrati for self-sacrificing deeds done for their welfare. No man in North Carolina is so wedded to their hearts and deservedly so. as Matt VV. Ransom. Fremont Letter.- Fremont, N. C, Aug. 14., '9-t.

The House, as announced in yesterday's Akgus. has passed the Senate amendments to the Wilson tariff bill, which now only awaits the signature of the Presi dent to become a" law. The hitch all along has been mostly on the sugar question. Sugar is still on the dutiable list, but even this is greatly re duced by the new bill as com pared to the high rate of protec tion afforded it by the odious Republican McKinley bill. The vital question of the hour was not wdiy the Senate did not pass .a fair, tariff bill, but whether the House should ac: cept the Senate bill as a choice between it and no legislation at all. Why Senators have been faithless to their high duties and false to their party obligations can be inquired iuto hereafter. Tho people of the country will take care of that issue in due time. The men whom the coun try hold responsible for seeking to defeat tariff legislation will end their public careers with their present terms in the Sen ate. For these men there can be no future in American politics, but the fact that these men jwill fall as political suicides did not help the languishing business interests of the country, and the House rose to the necessities of the situation and nobly did the best that could ber done -under the circumstances. ; Tho - Dorm ocaatic caucus" Mon day unanimously decided to con cur iu the Senate amendments to the tariff bill and thus effect' its final passage. No man will be misunderstood by his constitu ents for supporting. such a meas ure. The whole country well understands that the friends of tariff reform in the House were in the position of the helpless wayfarer who is ordered by' armed bandits to stand and de liver, and it is the unanimous sentiment of the friends of tariff reform .throughout the land that the House did the -proper- thing in ending the tariff contest by accepting the Senate bill, since it could not in any way improve it and be sure of success on a sec ond return of the Senate. Defec tive as the measure is it is vastly better for the whole country thau the present monopoly pro tecting and industry taxing Mc Kinley tariff, and our paralyzed industries, .commerce and trade imperatively demand that the tariff policy of the government shall be settled as speedily as possible. The House has gone further, and in addition to passing the Senate bill, which goes now to the President for his signa turethey have passed and sent to the Senate a bill providing for free sugar, iron ore and coal and throwing upon tho Senate the re sponsibility of enacting or fore going these Democratic demands. . i Unad Overseers.

FRIENDS' YEARLY MEETING. The Exercises of the FoltIIi Day A Great and Glorious Gathering. (By our Special.) High Point, N. C., Aug. 1 Just at this time, High Point is to theFriends of North Caro lina what aucientt Jerusalem was to the Jews Of old, 'The place whither ...the, tribes go up, the tribes of tho Lord, unto the testi mony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of tho Lord," The yearly meeting convened to-day. a j 10 a. m. every quarterly meet ing being represented. David E. Sampson offered prayer. Allen Jay quoted 1 Cor. 1, 30 "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus,, who of God,, is- made unto us wisdom," ' and righteousness, and" sanctificatkiu and redemp tion." He said he wished to dwell specially on "wisdom. "Many per sons who intend well fail because L'they do not exercise wisdom in time, manner and place of work ing. : - The Clerk then read the -opening minute and called tho names of Representatives from the seven differeut quarterly meet ings, most of whom were present, others will be in later. Joseph Potts said he was glad to see so many familiar faces in the meeting, but was especially glad to hear so many new names as representatives. J. H. Thompson and Frank H. Clark were appointed messengers to women's meeting (men and women's meeting being held sep arate.) Albert Peele said he thought it wras understood that the clerk was Chairmar of the meeting, and that he . would be allowed to call persons t order who" appear out of place in ! addressing the meeting.' ; " James R. Jones and others spoke on the same line. At this stage tbe credentials were read for the following visiting ministers viz: Allen Jay, Mary Hammond, andAchsah Kensonof Ind. Rachel Harriage of la. Judeth Johnson of Ohio sud Elizabeth R. Edwards of N. J. Others are expected in a few days though there will hardly be as many in attendance from other yearly meetings this year as usual. James Jones, A. Peele William Richardson, and others seemed to have voiced the senti ments of the meeting in speak ing of the gratitude they felt in having them preseit, thought it an evidence of the Lords' con tinued love anJ care for us in sending His messengers amongst us and hoped they would be en abled to preach the whole Gospel. The Clerk then welcomed them on behalf of the meeting. H. W. Dixon. Jasper Thomp son, yv. r'eeie, oamuei vestal ana F. S. Blair were appointed to act in conjunction with a similar committee of women friends to prepare returning, minutes for them. Henry Stanley Newman df Eng. , who many of quaker read ers and others will remember as an able Minister of the Gospel visited our State some ' years since, sent greeting o tho meet ing, which was directed to be embodied in the minutes. Jorc G. Anderson said he felt a desire that all would be prompt in delivering the messages thy might have from the Lord. "The London seneral Epistle," a document gotten up with great pains and care anually by London vearly meeting and addressed to Friends in (Jreat Britain Ire land and elsewhere" was read and its valuable counsel cordially endorsed: also an epistle' ad dressed to this yearly meeting from the same source. A Fisher said we get valuable points from these- letters, but the main question with us is, do we put them in practice. J. Frank lin Davis and Joseph Potts thought the epistles just read unusually good and thought it might be well for us to adopt the same plan as London Y. M, in preparing one epistle for all the Yearly Meetings instead of a dif ferent one to each. George Wood asked permission to visit womens meeting which was granted subject to their con venience, Jeremiah S. Cox, J. R. Parker, Edward Parker and some others were appointed with a similar committee ; of women friends to have an oversight i arranging for the different meet ings during the sessions xf the Y. M. Yearly meeting convened as by adjournment. Prayer by Levi Reece. After opening minute was read,: the representatives reported through their chairman that they had agreed upon the name of Prof. L. L. Hobbs for clerk and the names Josiah Nicholson and George W, White for assistant clerks, with wnicn tne meeting united ana appointed them accordingly Credentials were then read for Peter W, Raidabaugh of Chicago. associate editor of the American friend, and Levi Reece of Ind., both ministers and to whom the meeting extended a cordial wel come. John'Pidgron of Ohio, was also, present without any minute from his friends at home. Epistles were then read from the following Yearly Meetings viz: Dublin,, New England, New York, Ohio, Baltimore, Canada, Indiana, Western, h?ld in Ind. Wilmington, held in Ohio, Kan sas, and Oregon. The one from Iowa had failed to come. This correspondence is kept up yearly by the different yearly meetings by committees appointed for the purpose. SomeY. M.'s sent differ ent letters to each seperate meet ing, while some others have adopted the plan of sending a copy of slime letter to all the Yearly .Meetings, tho latter plan being adopted by N. C. last year and this. While some of them contain more or less exhortation, or preaching, they mostly give the different lines of religious wrork engaged in by their respec tive meetings and partake some of the nature of correspondence between different members of a family scattered abroad. A committee of sixteen was ap pointed to prepare suitable re plies and produce them to a fu ture setting. 'Then adjourned to meet in joint session 2 p. m. In the afternoon session Memorials w re read for David V. Henly and Dr. Nereus Mendenhall who had deceased since last Yearly Meeting, also for Win, Cox who died some years ago. Many testimonies were borne to their christian worth and character and the memorials concerning them were directed to be recorded. Dr. Mendenhall had spent the greater portion of his active life in teach ing in different institutions of learning and held other impor tant place of trust, having been twice elected to the Legislature. The -Evangelistic committee made their annual report at this session of the meeflng, show ing more or less work done in all the quarters. A numbJjof series of meetings had been rfcld, resulting in many conversions, and quite a number had been added to the church. The meeting recommended a continuance of the work and a nominating committee was ap pointed to bring forward to a fu ture sitting the names for a com mittee to act in that capacity an other year, with such recommen dations to the meeting as they may see proper to make. The trustees of Guilford Col lege having asked the Y. M. to assist them in filling some vacan cies existing in the management of the school, B. F. Blair, Eliza beth W. Nicholson, Albert Pecue and Mary E. Mendenhall were appointed to co-operate with them. At the close of the session it was announced tnat conveyan ces were in waiting to take the orphanage committee and invited visitors to tho Orphanage, a re port of which will be made to morrow or next day. HOW IT WAS IN ALABAMA. Let North Carlma Do Likewise. Goldsboro, . N. C. , August 10. Ed. Argns : It behooves me as a cnzen ot iviaoama to say one wrord in defence of my State. see that the Canersian, in an edi torial, has made an attact upon the Democratic party of Ala bama, and cries fraud in the last Gubernatorial election. Now, the Uuvasian has been misin formed in regard to the election law of Alabama, or else he wilfully misquotes it. All Ala bama knows, even Capt. Kolb himself, that the election was fair, and I am sure the Caucasian would think so if he only under stood our election law. By the Sayne election law, which now prevails in Alabama each and every voter is com pelled to register in May before the election in August, or else be disfranchised for two years Each voting precinct has a reg istrar, who supplies each voter with a certificate of registra tion, and without this certificate he cannot be admitted to the polls. The registration book is returned to the Probate- Judge in May. In August, when the votes are cast, the returns are made to the Probate Judge, who compares the votes or each : pre cinct with the number of voters registered; and if there are more votes cast in any beat than there are registered from that box, then the whole box is thrown out. So you, see. . there is no chance to perpetrate fraud, and the charge of the Caucasian that some of the beats gave a greater majority , for Democracy than there were voters is a wilful misrepresentation. ; The Caucasian wants to know if the good people of - Alabama will stand this? The only an swer I can give to this question is "to "say that the good people of Alabama would not have sub mitted to such a man as Capt. Kolb for Governor. Capt. Kolb cries, fraud, in order to make it appear that he has done some thing to earn the . corruption fund which he collected from his, dupes of New England. But all the money that he collected from his Republican friends, and his unholy alliance with Senator Hoar, could not corrupt the people of Alabama. It makes a true-Alabamian blush to think that such a man as Capt. Kolb came so near being Governor of that State four years ago. But Reuben is dead, and thank God for it; and old Alabama is safely anchored on the Democratic shore. Alabama looks to her sister Southern State, North Chrolina, to follow in her foot steps and down the Populist party forever, and together wTith Alabama hand down to future generations a fair and untar nished name. The dmcaxian seems to think that the people of Alabama have very loose ideas about honor. I would advise the gentleman, should he ever visit Alabama, that it would not be exactly healthy for him to make such statements as he did in his paper a few days ago. He wanted to know if the good people of Ala bama will submit to such a thing as the last election. Now, I would like to knowr if the good people of North Carolina will submit to such accusations as he is making against the Demo cratic party ? It is to be hoped that the Populist followers m North Carolina will soon see the error of their way as they have in Alabama and return to the rand old Democratic party. An Alabamian. ft BftTTLE TttftT WftS FOUGHT- NOT An interestinii paper read before Thos. Kuffin Camp Confederate Veterans at their annual Re union, by Dr. Thos. H. C. Hiil, of Goldsboro. Thinking that some experi ences or tne eariy part oi tne war might prove interesting, I mght I would give an account of a battle that w?as not fought. Avill call it the "Battle of ockwood's Folly Bridge." Very earlv in the year 1861, when everything Avas in confu sion and turmoil, there were stationed at Smithville, Bruns wick county-, the following com panies: Sampson Rangers. CaL aison; Duplin Riiies, Capt. Denson; Rowan Rilie Guard, Capt. McNeely; Columbus Guard. Capt. S,arly; Cabarrus Black Boys. Capt. Slough; Brunswick Guard, Capt. Brooks as tine a body of men as ever were brought together during the war all under command of Col Iverson, formerly of the United States Army. They had not yet been organized into a regi ment, but were independent com panies sent to omitnviiie lor or ganization and drill. To talk about enthusiasm hardly expressed the feeling of the men; they were just crazy to meet the enemy. Any one company we had could whip anything the Yankees could bring against them. Everything, was quiet nothing but guard mounting, drill and dress parade, Avith oc casional walks with the girls. Occasionally some excitement would be caused by a blockader appearing in sight, and on one or two occasions by small yessels running the blockade. One evening, I think early in June 1861, shortly after dinner, when the whole camp was taking an evening rest everyimng was thrown into confusion by the beating of the "lorn? roll." Staff officers were hurrying to head quarters, and citizens, in alarm, were asking what was the mat ter. It was soon ascertained that one or two citizens from the Lockwood Polly section had come rX. and reported that the Yankees were landing a heavy force from a large steamer on the beach, a few miles below Lockwood's Folly Bridge. They reported having" seen the ship, and stated that the troops and tents were on the beach. A council of war was held, and it was decided that the enemy must be met, and, if possible, that they must be met before they could cross Lockwood's Folly Bridge. It was proposed that scouts should be sent out at once to determine the charac ter and form of the enemy. The writer of this, and Col. Swift Galloway, then a lad, volunteered as scouts, and started out on horseback about six o'clock in the evening. We passed our picket line about t hree miles from town, and learned from them that the enemy was cer tainly landing troops. People who had passed stated that they had certainly seen them. v About ten miles from town, getting towards sunset, . we moved more cautionsly and soon discovered several men on horse back approaching. We got into the bushes on either side of the road and awaited their approach with cocked rifles. When they got nearly to us we both stepped to the front and -called a halt. They immediately stopped, and wTe commenced questioning thenv They were some of the mbs substantial citizens of that part of the county, and some of them were on their way to town to re port to Col.Iverson.the landing of Yankee troops. They had con cealed themselves m the bushes and saw them land several hun dred men, 'besides artillery and horses. That they had lashed two boats together, laid planks between them, and on these had landed the horses and the can non. They certainly were there, and when they had begun to scatter to get wooa to make a fire they thought it was time to leave. Now, what" to do ! We consulted together and thought we had better go back and tell wnat news we naa. we were not afraid, but thought we had gone far enough, particularly as it was getting dark. The say ing, "Fear in common with all the other passions, has been given to us for the purpose of exercising our reason and ac quiring a virtue by its subjuga tion, and the man, if any such there.exist, who is ignorant of the feeling, is a monster and not a hero, " come into my mind, and I told Swift I thought we had gone far enough and had learned enough. He was willing and we turned our horses towards home. We reached headquarters about 10 o'clock and made our report. Soon everything was busy and hurrying. Orders issued forma tions and the ladies, God bless them, under the leadership of that mother of Confederate sol diers. Mrs. John Walker, getting ready all sorts of good things. There was little or no sleep in the village that night. Col. Tomson ordered four of the six companies under command of Capt. Faison, of the Sampson company, to march promptly at 2 o'clock a. "m., and to hold the en emy in check if he could not whip them, until he could come up wita the other two companies held in reserve. As I said there wras no sleep. More letters were written that night to wives and sweethearts, fathers and moth ers, than the mail bag would hold. But there was no shrink ing. The only thought was, show us the Yankees, and we will tell the rest, no matter what their number. Promptly at 2 o'clock the command set forward over as sandy a twenty-mile road as ever was seen a little before 8 o'clock a halt was made about twro miles from the bridge and scouts sent forward to feel for the enemy. I did not volun teer as scout this time. I thought I had better stay back and pre pare to attend to the wounded. Every man selected him a tree to right behind, and everything was in readiness and very quiet, ex cept the cmcers passing among the men, giving directions, "tire low men, and take good aim every one ot you are good for a dozen Yankees . rresently the scouts were seen returning; slowly and de- liberately. As soon as they came in hailing distance a shout was raised "how many are there," and when the answer was made "Nary a one." Surely there was diso ppomtm ent. Then you ought to have seen the men throw them selves on the ground tired, hun gry, thirsty and generally played out. Now for the return, 20 miles from town, the sun baking down, and a sandy road, and also all the disappointment that we had not achieved glory. But return we mutt, aid a start was made, but of all straggling armies th; ever was seen, this was the worst. About 10 miles from town we met a cavalcade of all the wagons, buggies, carts, drays, and every kind of vehicle oh wheels, which the ladies had collected, loaded with everything good to eat, not forgetting some thing to wash it down with, and sent them to follow after us and feed us after we had conquered the enemy. It was fully a week before some of the men got back to camp, foot-sore and weary. had on my horse one before and behind and one or two hanging on by the tail. But though weary and jaded in body, not one but full of fight and only did not fight, because the Yankees were not there. The cause of the report never was explained, whether it was mirage, fear or a. vivid imagir tion, it certainly was an hallucina tion, for they were not th3re, nor had there been a Yankee in that neighborhood. ' However, it learned some of us a little of the beauties of war, and many a deed of valor was boasted of, if only there had been a-chance to dis play it. F"oii ririN 1.
