Kuffin Camp Confederate Vet erans met in this city on Tuesday afternoon, with Mr. Jno. H. Hill, Colonel Commanding, in the chair. A large number of veterans, members of the Camp, were in attendance and the election re sulted in a continuance of the old officers for another term, as follows: Jno. II. Hill, Colonel: N. H.

The Republicans carried Maine. Henry B. Cleaves was re-elected Governor at d Congressmen Reed, Boutelle, Dingly and Millikeu were all re turned to the House of Repre sentatives. A Legislature Re publican in both branches was chosen and the Republican can didates for county officers were successful in most instances. Summed up in a sentence, the Republicans made a clean sweep in Maine. This was not the unexpected, of course. Maine is a Republi can State twenty-nine years in thirty, and this is a Republican year in the Northern States gen reelly. It will be impossible to state the exact Republican ma jority for a day or two, as some of the Maine voting jlaces are still a good way in the back woods. The result of the. Ver mont election foreshadowed a big Republican majority in Maine, however, and the Ver mont portent was doubtless fully justified by Mouday's voting. The Republican organs will make the most of their Maine Tictory, as they have a right to do; but the clear-headed Repub lican leaders will not see in the Vermont and Maiue elections a positive assurance of a Repub lican landslide in November that will reverse the political coin1 plexion of the House 'of Repre sentatives. The business im provement certain to follow the settlement of the tariff issue has but just beguu. When the No vember election occurs the Re publican ealamity howl will in -a large measure have been silenced or proved to be without justifi cation, and it is hardly probable that in any of the November States, except possibly Pennsyl vania, will the ratio of Republi can gains shown bv the Vermont and Maiue elections be main tained. The calamity howl has done its most effective work in the two New England States which have already voted. Pikeville Letter. A FITTING REBUKE. j)eiity. Thos. Hill, J. T. Dees, N. W. Harokave. ;- Com.

By Gov. O'Ferrall, of Virginia. Richmond, Va., Sept. 12. In answer to an invitation to address the Afro-American Press Asso ciation, in session here, Gov. O'Ferrall wrote as follows: Messrs. John Mitchell, W. Calvin Chase, John C. Dancy and Others, Committee of Afro-American. Press Association, City. Dear Sirs In response to your invitation to address or at tend the convention or tne Airo- American Press Association, now in session in this city, I beg to say that I would not think of ac cexting an invitation to address any convention or assembly tnat endorses, as your convention did last evening, the course of Ida Wells in her slanders of the peo ple and civil authorities of the South. I condemn lynch-law as much as any one, ana as long as l am Governor of Virginia, every man, whether white or colored, what ever the charge against him may be, shall have a trial by judge and jury, if I have to exert all the power given me by the con stitution and laws of Virginia, and should any case of lynching occur, I shall endeavor to enforce the law against the lychers, but it strikes me that the action of your convention in endorsing the misrepresentations and slander ous utterances of Ida Wells is calculated to do harm rather than mollify the spirit of violence which so frequently manifests it self, not only in Virginia, but throughout the South, when a certain crime is committed. The brutes who commit this crime, too horrible to mention, and are summarily dealt with, seem to elicit sympathy from Ida Wells and her supporters, as though they were murdered innocents, while not a word of sympathy is expressed for their victims, who have suffered more than death. "I believe that if your Conven tion would condemn the crime which has caused all the lynch ings in the South, with rare ex ceptions, and the leaders of the colored people would frown upon it and cry out against it, and not exert their energies and devote their time to a denunciation of the lyching, there would be fewer outrages, and if so, certainly fewer instances of mob .vio lence. "1 do not know, but it looks very much to me as though the work of Ida Wells was a deep-laid scheme to che.k as far as may be the progress of the South, and every good citizen, white and colored, should feel an interest in refuting her villifications rather than sanctioning them, as your convention did last evening. J She and her supporters certainly stirred up a feeling against her race which did not exist prior to her crusade. The people of .the South, who have labored soas siduously for nearly a generation now to recuperate and build up their waste places will not take kindly to the efforts which this woman and her followers are making to bring reproach upon their section and create the im pression that it is a land of law lessness and disorder. "I have a most friendly feeling for the colored people. They have mv sympathies in all their struggles and laudable undertak ings, as I think I have shown in mv private and public life, and I was indeed deeply pained when I read this morning that your con vention composed of representa tives of your race, had struck the South a blow which she did not deserve. While 1 thank you for your in vitation, I must decline under the circumstances to address your convention or attend its sessions Respectfully, Charles T. O'Fekkall. Ransom at Ashevillc. Special 6tar Telegram. Asheville, N. C. September 12. Senator Ransom spoke to day at Asheville. He commenced by a most touching and tender allusion to Senator Vance and proceeded immediately to discuss the political issues, lie spoKe ot the repeal of the Federal elec tion laws and the restoration of the South to all her rights and equalities in the Government, and the removal of all the disa bilities of her people by the democratic party. He discussed the tariff in general with great clearness and effect. He present ed the income tax in the strong est light; called attention to the reduction by the Democratic party of over forty-one million dollars. He said the Democratic party was true and faithful to the South. He contrasted the justice of the Democratic party with the injustice ot the Repub lican party towards the South. He demonstrated that every measure of benefit, relief and justice to the Southern people since the war had been achieved by the Democratic party. He spoke of the perfect success with which the Democratic party had managed State affairs, of the which the Southern people had treated the colored people, and declared that humanity owed the Southern Democracy a debt of gratitude for the way they had managed this difficult question. He paid a grand tribute to the ability, courage and patriotism of the Natioual Democratic ad ministration. He poured light all through" the Republican and Populist parties. He spoke of their wild and desperate at tempts at legislation by which they proposed to appropriate more money than the whole world possessed. He stated that they had promised prosperity and abundance to the people, but wherever their influence had been felt the result was dis ordered, strikes, riots, blood shed, tire and ruin. He spoke of the great achievement of the President in breaking up riots and restoring law and order. The Opera House was crowd ed to overflowing. The applause was frequent and enthusiastic, and often long, continuous and deafening. At the conclusion of the speech crowds of old soldiers, citizens and lovely women surrounded and greeted the speaker. The universal expression is that if Ransom could speak in every county Democracy would have a "walk-over." . SOUTHERN PROGRESS. New up Enterprises Springing Evcnvhere. Baltimore, Sept. 13. A special to the Manufacturers' Rec ord states that the Standard Oil company has purchased the great sulphur deposits near Charles, La. This sulphur deposits is of great extent and, several attempts have been made to work it, but from various causes they have failed. The price paid by the Standard company is reported to be $175,000. Orders for part of tho machinery needed for devel opment have been given to a local machinery house. The general condition of South ern business interests is very hopeful. Bank clearings and rail road earnings continue to show large gains. A number of manu facturing enterprises are enlarg ing their works, one agricultural implement company in Tennessee is doubling its plant and will in crease the number of hands em ployed from 250 to 400. Throughout the .North ana the West the South is attracting more and more and more atten tion and the evidences are daily accumulating of a large South ward movement of population. Among the principal industria enterprises reported for the week are a $lo0,000 brewing company and a 20,000 wood working com pany in Virginia: a $100,000 dredging company in Florida; a $10, 000 immigration and improve ment company, $5,0Q0 creamery, a $20,000 printing company, re building of a large barrell factory and the starting of a new paper mill m Georgia; a $lo,000 ice fac tory, a $35,000 wharf elevator, a $250,000 "-stave manufacturing company and development of ex tensive sulphur mines in Louisi ana; two large tobacco factories, a flour mill ana a mica mining company in JNorth Carolina; a $200,000 increase of stock by a fertilizer oompany in South Caro lina; large addition to a plow fac tory, rebuilding of a large saw mill, resumption of work by a soap factory, employing twenty - five persons, and starting of operations in a new shoe factory, emvlovins seventy-nve opera tives in Tennessee; a $10,000 shoe company, ana a mu,uuu puonsn- mg company m Texas; important consolidation of coke operators in the Pocahontas coal fields of West Virginia. . VVOODARD AT M T. OLIVE. He Spoke Yesterday to an Audi ence of Four Hundred. Argus Special. Mt. Olive, N. C. Sept. 15, '91. Hon. F. A. Woodard addressed a large gathering here to-day. There were some four hundred people out to hear him. He spoke for two hours and the crowd list ened with quiet and respectful attention. Quite a large element of Third Partyites and Republi cans including many negroes were among the audience. The speech seemed to make a most favorable impression on all present, and much good will cer tainly result, as quite a number of od men heretofore affiliating with the Populists cannot stand fusion and will return after hear ing Mr. Woodard's convincing speech to the Democratic fold. The crowd showed from the beginning to the end a great de sire to hear and reflect, and Mr. Yvoodard gave them much to ponder over, and his splendid speech will result m many votes for Democracy that were hereto fore wavering. National Finance. The condition of the National Treasury has been most unsatis factory for two years past. When President Cleveland was inaugu rated on the 1th of March, 1893, the Treasury was literally bank rupt. The claims due from the at the time, and which should have been paid promptly, aggregatud over $30, 000,000 more than the resources of the Treasurv, and Secretary Foster, on the day that he re tired from office, declined to issue a draft for some $2,000,000 vote. The financial revulsion was the beginning of business paral ysis and industrial distress throughout the land, and good men of all parties rose up m every State and in both houses of Congress to rescue the national credit by the repeal of the Sher man law, - which - was a 'strict v I Tl , ,, ' . . " I rtepuDiican partisan measure when it was passed. The general paralysis of busi- purchase bill, which was opposed sonaiy oy tne republican party ness and trade that resulted from financial disturbance, and the natural distrust and hesita tion which always attend tariff revision, greatly reduced the na tional revenues, while the in creased expenditures fixed bv the Republican Congress re mained, and the Treasurv has been severely strained during the present administration. With all its strain, however, the gov ernment has issued a single loan of $50,000,000, and that is over $10,000,000 less than the surplus leit tne Harrison administration when Mr. Cleveland retired, while the reduction of the gold reserve does not amount to the forced loan paid under Harri son s administration bv the ap propriation of the bank trust fund. From these facts it would seem that those who criticise -the pres ent administration for the con dition of the Treasurv must fal sify history, and those who are wise will franklv confess that the condition of the Treasury to day is vastly better, considering the existing conditions, than it was under the preceding admin istration. The people who pay the taxes will be entirely honest on this subject sooner of later, and politicians would act wisely by being honest at once. Stool Ranges.

This is doubtless the largest plurality ever before given in the district. At first blush, the alleged visit of the committee of Britons to investigate the South seems to us and to all Southern men to be arrogant and insolent. But there is another view. Grave charges have beenbrought against the South, by a designing negro wo man and it may be that the Bri tons have come (if indeed they have come at all) with au honest purpose to get at the exact truth. If so, we are in favor of giving them a polite "reception and of affording them every faci lity to get all the facts. The South has been maligned and there - is no doubt that the visit of Ida "Wells to England has had its ef fect; It seems to' us, therefore, that the South should be glad of the opportunity to 'meet a dele gation of honest-Englishmen and ef ute the slanders at the Wells woman, But we doubt u such a , 7; committee will ever come So.th Now For Business. The agony is over. The com mittee which the State Demo cratic Executive Committee sent here to arbitrate the difference between the Democratic factions in New Hanover county has an nounced its findings, as will be seen by reference to the proceed ings of the committee to be found elsewhere in this "morn insr's Messenrer. The finding of the committee sustains the validity of the coun ty convention and consequently the validity of the nominations made by the convention, with the exception ot tne two nomi nees who declined the nomina tion one for the House and one for constable in Wilmington township, Whatever might be said of the unfortunate methods adopted by the convention, we have not doubted but that its action could not be otherwise than valid, hence we put its nominees at the masthead of the Messenrer several weeks ago. We have refrained, however, from putting at our masthead the nominations of Mr. Green's committee to fill the va cant places for the House of rep resentatives and for constable There was a controversy as to which committee was the legally constituted county executive committee the one of which Mr. Green is chairman or the one of which Mr. Borden is chairman nence we did not put its norm nees up with the convention nom inees. - J" rs I PI A, I woaknnss easily enrefl OrlNALlir.

The cartoon is entitled "The American Farmer When he has to sell, and where he has to buy." On one side of the picture the farmer is offering his products, corn, wheat, pork, beef, etc. in the free trade markets of Europe. He has to compete there with Russian, Australian and South American farmers. It is the open comrjetion of this market which determines not only the prices which he obtains for imported Droducts. but also the prices of the greater part of the same pro ducts sold at home. He competes with the cheapest farm labor in the world. He has no special privileges. His share of the pro tection in the McKinley bill was bogus On the other side of the picture the farmer is making purchases of clothing1, implements, furni ture, etc. He is not in the free and open markets of the world where all manufacturers are com peting wTith each other for his patronage. He is restricted to McKinley s "Home Market ana high prices. Everything is marked up" according to the tariff dutv placed upon it and to the firmness of the trust which resrulates production and prices of this particular product McKinley put no sawdust in tne protection which he gave to the trusts and manufacturers, l ney do not hesitate to charge the poor and deluded farmer 50 per cent more than he would have to pay for his goods in the same market in which he sells his products His monev sroes only two-thirds that was long overdue, simply because he had not the means to pav it. Such was the official legacy left to the Cleveland ad ministration by President Harri son. The contrast between the con dition of the Treasury when Har rison was inaugurated on the 1th of March, 1889, and the condition of the Treasury when Cleveland entered his second term four years later, is not forgotten by the people. When Cleveland re tired to be succeeded by Harrison b.3 left a clean surplus in the Treasury of over 60,000,000 and in estimating that surplus his Secretary of the Treasury did not embrace government deposits to the credit of disbursing ofli- cers, wmcn always amount to some millions, or subsidiary coins, which usually aggregate from ten to fifteen millions and which cannot be used in the pay ment of government obligations.

Dr. Fuller was born in Gran ville county.June 11th, 1835, and alter completing ms studies m medicine came to Raleigh in 1835 and soon after was elected to the position which he held at the time of his death. His family is one of the most prominent in Gran ville county. He had several rel atives living in this city.

Be low are a few of the manv t.(t;m..r.i.i. of some of the best citizens of South Carolina, Florida and this State: Testimonials: Thus more than $60,000,000 of surplus was entirely dissipated by the Harrison administration, and a trust fund of $55,000,000 held by the government for the redemption of bank jnotes was covered into the Treasury by act of Congress,' thus increasing the debt of the government to that extent, as the sum was transfer red to the general Treasury fund to save the Treasury from bank ruptcy. Thus was not only the clean surplus of over $60,000,000 expended but the $55,000,000 of trust fund violently seized and expended also. Since that time bank notes have been redeemed out of the Treasury, and thus $55,000,000 were added to the debt of the government during the Harrison administration without the public realizing the fact. It was in plain Hmglish. a forced loan by the government, and! yet with all these combined resources from surplus and a forced loan Harrison retired from the Presidency leaving the Trea sury literally bankrupt. If the evil of the Harrison ad ministration has stopped with simply bankrupting the Treasury bv expending its surplus ana a forced loan of some $55,000,000, the country could have speedily recovered from the disaster.
