All the outside township te yond the city will meet, at the Court House on Tuesday night for the purpose of organ zitsg a township White Government Union. Every white man in the township beyond the city limits, in whatever ioca'ily, or what ever may have been bis former political effiiiatioDS. is invited to attend this meeting and join the Union. Hon. P. A. Dauiels spoke at Magnolia Monday night to a large gathering of old line Democrats, converted Populists and al most persuadtd members of the latter party, who.ii is hoped, af ter hearing Mr. DatneJs bpleudid presentation of the fearful con diiion of tffairs under fusion in our State and the greaer menace that confronts us, will get right, and be ready to vote right on election day. v That Goldshoro s fully awak to the advance of Democracy, as is always her wont, was glorious ly demonstrated Monday night at organization of precinct White Goyerninent Unions. The attends anee at all the precinct meetings was large and enthusiastic. Regs, ular meetings of these Unions will be held from now on 'till election day, and much good work is ezpected from them.

Bristo-we, pastor of St. John M. E. church. The unexpected death of Mr. Kobert Edwards occurred at bis home in this city Sunday morn ing about 11 o'clock, He was as well as usual in the morning and bad gone down to the store to deliver ice for Mr. A.

He was about 50 years of age and was a member of St. Paul M. E. church. The funeral was held from the home Monday and the interment made in Willow Dale Cemetery. In this issue we publish a card from our good old friend Mr. John Wright Ham, which though brief speaks volumes in its open, manly utterance. It needs no comment to impress it the more upon our people, and we feel sure that other good men like Mr. Ham who went off with the Po pulist movement in its incipiency and pristine purity of purpose, reading this card will breath a hearty Amen, and follow htm back to his first love, tbe grand old Democratic Pgjfty where alone is safety, prosfty and happU ness for all the people to be IOUEd. If any one doubts that decency and Democracy, regardless of former political affiliations, are getting together more and more every day, all over the State, he needs but to keep up with the daily chronicling of the times to have all his doubts removed.

One hundred and twenty thous and negroes in solid phalanx vote the same ticket in North Caros lina.

LOVELESS DEAD, The Beloved Young Rector of St. Stephen's Church is So More. The universal heart of this com munity has been deeply saddened by the untimely death of Rev. William Fletcher Loveless, the be loved young Rector of St. Ste phen's Episcopal church, who on ly a few brief months ago accepted a call to this parish, and entered4 Book of Facts," its exacting auuee, iresn upon from the seminary, fervent in zeal, flushed with hope of accomplish ing much for the Blessed Master in this vineyard, and winning all hearts by his purity of life and preaching, his attractiveness of person and benediction of pres ence. Such was the record he bad written in our hearts during his brief pastorate among us, and we all looked upon him with pride and love and hope. But, alas I He is no more. Last Sunday evening at 6.55 o'clock, just aa the shadows of the peaceful Sunday, after a glorious sunset, were lengthening into the darkness of night, the Angel of Death gently pushed ajar the door of the sick chamber, and at his coming the spirit of the belov ed young Rector of St. Stephen's church took its flight from scenes of earth and returned unto God who gave it. Yes: Mr. Loveless is dead How our hearts stood still at the sad announcement. For days and days the hearts of our people have been sorrowful, and they have gone out in deepest sympas thy to the noble young preacher who was so bravely battling with fever; who had so much in life to live for as we see the future. But each day tbe dread disease fixed its grasp with stronger hand, and at locgth the te'.e- graphic wire3 told the sad news to father and mother in Alabama, his home, and on to far away Florida where she who was soon to be his wife res'des. The aged parents were too feeble to ccms the long journey, but a bro her, the betrothed and her mother, hastened to the btd.sido of broth er and lover, and wiiih ach'.Dg hearts, powerless to help, saw life's tid9 ebbing, ebbing, ebbing away until tba chariot bore Lim away to join the throng of those who have washed their robes aod mad them' white in the blcod of the Limb, an 1 who see His face eternally in the heavens. Tbe btautiful services of the Episcopal church were conducted by BishopWatson at St Stephen's at 1 o'clock Monday. The remains of the good and beloved man of God were taken by icvicg hands to the Southern train, and the sad party started on their long journey to Pensa.eola, Fla., the home of the noble woman whose hear is in tbe coffia with her lover. Is the "L&.nd of Flowers" j he will sweetly sleep until the gladsome day shall break on Res urrection morn. Mr. Loveless died at the home of Mr. John H. Hill, where he received every kiodness and at tention, He was treated as a son by Mr. and Mrs Hill, and as a brother by the other members of tbe family. The floral offerings werebeau tiful and abounding, . and the large attendance at the funeral attested the esteem in which the lamented decessed was held by our people. The deceased was only 25 years of age on the 24th of the coming November. Other pea will write of his character, his worth and his impress on this couimu nity. It is meet thit it be done.

On page 41, under the heading conditions in 1S9S," in discussing the marvelously prosperous condi tion of the penitentiary under Re publican . Superintendent Smith, who Gov. Russell, nevertheless ousted for well, don't mention it we find this statment as to the acreage under cultivation this year on the Northampton Farm; cot ton, 1,200 acres; corn, 1,000 acres; wheat, 400 acres; peas 75 acres; total, 2,675 acres. On the -Anson Farm they have under cultivation this year; cot ton, 500 acres; corn, 400 acres; wheat, 150 acres; peas, 100 acres; total: 1,150 acres. Mark you, now: The "Norths ampton Farm," according to this wonderful "Hand-Book of Facts," has under cultivation alone, not counting the timber land, 2,675 acres; and the Anson Farm, not counting timber land, has under cultivation, 1,150 acres. Turning to page 43,still discuss ing the penitentiary and glorying in its redemption from Democra tic plofligacy, under the heading "Some Sample Business Transac tions," we read as follows: "In Northampton county the machine leased a tract of land for a State farm for a term of ten years. The tract consists of about 1200 acies in round numbers " And yet on this tract of '1200 acres in round numbers." which includes timber land and all, the Populist State Executive Corns mittee tell the paople, that this year they have under cultivation 2,675 acres not counting garden plots, turnip patches, mule pas tures and timber land. Again it says. m In Anson county the machine leased 946 acres of land from R T. Bennett for a term of ten years." O a this 946 acre farm the fus ion gang have under cultivation this year leaving out gardens &c. 1150 acres, "Oh! what a tangled web we weave When we the people would deeeive." Senatorial Convention The Democratic Senatorial con vention of this district composing the counties of Wayne, Duplin and Pender, met here to-day for the purpose of nominating two senators. Ia the absence of the chairman on motion the convention was call ed to order by electing J. O. Carr, of this county, chairman, and R. G. Grady, of Pender, see retary, on motion the "various committees were dispensed with and the convention settled down to business. Duplin and Wayne being entitled to the Senators this year, and they having endorsed Mr. Fw A. Daniels, of Wayne, and Mr. L F. Hill, of Duplin, in their re spective conventions, Mr. R. G. Grady, of Pender in behalf of that county placed their names before the convention. They were sec onded by Mr. W. L. Hill, of this county. The rules were suspended and they were nominated by accla mation. Mr. Hill accepted in a short speech and said he believed from the present outlook that the ticket would bo a winning one. Mr. F. A. Daniels was not present. Resolutions endorsing the Na tional and State Democratic plat forms wore adopted. The secretary was requested to send a report of the conven tion to the Wilmington Messen ger, Wilmington Star, Goldsboro Argus, Goldsboro Headlight and Sampson Democrat, Warsaw, N.

It is a real treat to hear Mr. Charley West perform on his vi olin, mandolin and guitar. When you heai him performing on on3 of these instruments you at once come to the conclusion that it can't be beat, but when you hear him on one of the others you are then ready to change your mind, as the last seems the sweetest. It isn't often you hear one so accomplished on all of these difficult instruments. He is also a native Waynb county boy. The White Government Union wilrbe called together Thursday night. And all who have former?, ly signed their names are re requested to be-there and bring several others with them. .

Aycock to talk to you on tho political situs, ation of tbe day. Come and hear nirn. Officers will also be regu larly elected for the club. The town of Mt. Olive is again in ashes. Twice inside of four months have some of our citizens stood by and watched the earn ings of a life time disappear with all the swiftness with which the forked tongues of furious fUme could devour them. Monday morning about 2 o'clock, while peaos and quiet reigned supreme throughout the domains of our little town, the red light ol arson gleamed in the skies and brought our citizens hurriedly forth from their sluinberiog couches. Ev eryone saw at a glance that the terrible scenes which we witness ei on the night of June Gih, when one whole blo?k of the business portion of the town was swept away, must scon be enacted in all their tragic consequences. The fire was first discovered in the grocery store of Mr. B. B- Jackson. On the north from this store was the posteffiee, which was soon in flames. The post office was on the corner ad the fire did not go farther to the north, but southward the store of Mr. P. J. Lambert was next, and then came a barber shop and the livery stable of Mr. B. Y7. Soutberland. and last was the office of Dr. W. C. Steele. In the rear of all the buildings was the large livery stable of Mr. R. J Southeriand, which was destroy. ed. All the buildings burned, with the exception of two bew longed to Mr. R. J. Southeriand. On these he had 1700 insurance. Mr. B. W. Southeriand had $500 insurance on his stables and Mr B. B. Jackson had $1200 insur ance on his stock of groceries. All the rest carried no insurance. THE MT OLIVE FIRE. The people of our sister town of Mt. Oiive have our sympathy in the loss they have again sustains ed by fire. The loss will not fall as heavily as in tbe former fire, as there was more insurance on the property. Still the property burned in this la3t fire was only partially iasured. In a short time, howevt-r, the fire will be almost forgotten. Brick buildings will take the place of the frame buildings that were burned. Great is Mt, Oiive and her peo.-. pie. The town ba3 been behind until recently in educational mat ters, but last summer the citizens determined to secure a first-class man to put at the head of the Mt. Oiive High school. The re sult was that Prof. J. Davis took charge of the school in Auguit. At that time the'ARGUS told our Mt. Oiive friends that they had secured the right man. Now they have a fine school. We have talk ed with a number of our Mt. Oiive people and they are greatly pleased with Prof, Davis. Mt. Olive High School will work wonders for the town. No other investment in a community pays as well as a good school. Ed. Argus. If you want good insurance go to J. R. Smith for it, he repre sents none but the best of compah -ies.

What tbe future field for the employment cf American capital is to be is a question deserving attention, and is already being asked by bankers and investors. The immense outlet heretofore furnished by railroad construe tion and reconstruction is to a great extent closed. Our main lines are built, and the last one to be financially and physically reconstructed is now undergoing that process; "'What next?" bankers are asking. l4In what way is our capital to find new employmeni? Where is the new field?" Ch her investors are asking similar questions, British capital is invested the world over, and this is true to a consideral pxtent of surplus French and German funds; but very few Americans place a doK lar in foreign securities. Mr. William Waldorf Astor is the only notable exception to this rule. The American invests bis money at heme. He knows no other field. And as wealth acs cumulates here what is to be done with if? In what way and at what ? ate is it to be employed? Confined as he is to his native land, how is the investor here to find safe employment at a fair return for constantly accumulate irig money? These are questions to be an swered ia one way only. We are to see in the next decade lower rates of interest and a dearth of high-class securities. What ' the effect will be on merchant, manu facturer, and men of other lines ef business, may be left to those in terested, but it is a financial axiom that a plethora of money and a dearth of desirable securities means higher prices for the latter. The money going into the Treasary will soon flow back into the loan market. With peace secured upon satisfactory terms an era of pros perity may be 'looked forward to with confidence. And it will doubtless be an era which will see income from abso lutely safe investments reduced to If per cent, per annum, or less, and prices readjusted on that basis. FRANCIS D. WINSTON.

Dr. FRANK BOYETTE, What Mr. Winston Said on the Subject in his Recent Speech at Ahoskie. "There may be white men here to-day honest men, who believe tfcusy can remain with the Popu list party and not wind up with the Republican party. My friends if you are here, do not delude yourselves with that idea. Other men as honest, as sincere, as strong as you have tried that course and failed, i speak from a sad and bitter experience. In 1884 I voted with the Liberals in this State. I did not count on the certainty of drifting into the Republican party. Such an idea was repulsive to me. I would have resented such an imputai lion and denounced it. But in June, 1890, I found my self seek ing the nomination for Judge at the hands of that party in the Second district a party com posed of 90 per cent of negroes. It was to them I was to look for the nomination. Every delegate in the convention was a black man. I was seeking their sup port. I understand that a letter written by me then is in use by some parties in this campaign. I have not seen it. I do not deny writing such a letter. It may, and must be true, that I wrote such a letter, because I was seeking a nomination at tbe hands of the Republican party. No man, thea or now, can gain any negro sup port without yielding to them. Geo. H. White, a negro, was then, as he is now, the leader of the Republican party in the district. He was solicitor. I wrote to him, and, I suppose, used language of flattery. In July, 1890, I was nominated for Judge. In August, 1890, feeling the humiliation of my position, as every white man in Eastern North Carolina must do who belongs to that party, and recognizing the loss in self re spect to myself , as the price of my republicanism, and seeing every avenue to promotion in that party closed to every white man who did not bend to the negro, I dec lined the nomination and quit the party, as I advise every self respecting white man belonging to it to do, as a duty he owes to himself and his race From that hour I have labored to mend the wrong I did myself and my family and my race by that political connection.lt was brief, but it was bitter. I beg you, my fellow-citizens, not to go to the Republican party, because I was once in it." Here Mr. Winston, addressing. Prof Philip E. Shaw, Populist Republican candidate for Senator in tha First district said; "My friend, if you will hand me the copy of that letter which you have I will read it to the audience and then admit its genuineness of denounce it as a forgery." Prof. Shaw hesitatingly asked Mr. Winston "what letter he was referring to." The answer came like a flash: 'The letter you now hold in your hand, the letter you boasted on the streets here last Saturday you would read and crush me with: the letter your negro masters in the Republican party have sent you here today to confront me with." It was electrical. The crowd went wild. Old men and young cheered to the echo. "What," said Mr. Winston, "is this Populist candidate for the State Senate doing with a letter written by me years ago which is the property of a negro poli tician? Where did he get it? Through what channel does it come to the public? Is the negro running the Populist party as well as the Republican party? By what means does such a let ter, written under such cir cumstances, become the stock in trade of a man who says he is far white supremacy? What other instructions did the owner of the letter give to the men who make it public? I charge you, sir, with being the emissary of the negro in thia matter, and demand that you read tbe letter to the peo ple." Prof. Shaw spoke for an Lour and a quarter and did uot read the letter nor make any reference to the incident.
