JUDGE AVI) SOLICITOR. The Democratic Banner, publish ed at Dunn, comes out this week with a judicial ticket for this, the sixth district at the head of its edi torial column. Here is their ticket and comment: "Hon. W. K. Allen, of Wayne, for Judge. "Hon. Armistead Jones, of Wake, for Solicitor. "The'time is almost at hand when j the Democrats of the 6th Judieicial District will meet to nominate a candidate for Judge and Solicitor. j "We know quite a number of able-; lawyers in this district who would fill either of these offices with equal credit to themselves and honor to the people of the district, but as we j can only select two, we, in our opin- j ion, think that there are several j reasons why we snouia nominate and elect Hon. W. R. Allen of the grand old county of Wayne, and Hon. Armistead Jones, of the Capi tal City County Wake. "Mr. Allen was appointed by the. Governor to fill an unexpired term some years ago, in this district, and as all the people know, he filled the office acceptably to all the people, of all parties, and at the expiration of J hi3 term the Democrats met and with one accord unanimously nominated him for a full term, but at that time the dark cloud of populism was set tling over our State and Mr. Allen ! was defeated. Now we think it be- ; hooves the Democrats of this district to again stand up to the man who suffered at the hands of this black ' and tan gang, and not let a descent- ; ing voice be hoard to his nomination ' be acclamation. ! "And the same we would say for ' Mr. Jones for Solicitor, except he was not defeated, as Mr. Allen, but was appointed by Governor- Aycock last year to fiii an unexpired term made vacant by the resignation of Hon. K. W. Pou to accept a seat in Congress. Our people know Mr. Jones well and know him to be a j gentleman of the most profund legal J ability as a prosecuting officer and when the time comas tospeak, Ham ett county will with one loud " ac- I claim, raise her voice in behalf of. Armistead Jones for Solicitor and I W. B. Allen, for Judge." The Argus copies the above, that j the people of Wayne riiay see that j the sentiment of Harnett, as is known to be that of Wake and Johnston counties, is one with them ou our distinguished townsman Hon. W K. Allen for Judge, and of course this is deeply gratifying to Judge Allen's friends here, as well as most pleasi.ig t; our county pride thai, one of our number is as cordially ap-J preciated throughout the district as . he is at home. As to Mr. Armistead Jones for So licitor, he will have no opposition, having proved himself to be an effic ient, honest prosecuting officer the right man in the right place.

Bill Dav and Fabius Busbee, Both ' R. B. Attorneys, Turn Ambas sadors and Wait cur Judge Clark With a Letter From Ex-Governor -Daniel L. Bus sell.1 Baleigh News and Observer. On Sunday afternoon; when most of the good people of Baleigh were taking a nap or quietly reading their Bible, two railroad evangelists Fabius H. ( Busbee, "in all capaci ties," and William H. Day, "next friend" of ex-Governor Bussell rode up Blount street and caused their carriage to stop at the door of Hon. W.'M. Buss. They looked as sleek and pious and as well satisfied with themselves as if they had been in church. Were they on a mission of peace and good-will on this lovely Sabbath afternoon -these two emi nent railroad attorneys? Let the sequel show. They knocked in vain for admis sion, Mr. Buss having driven in the country to "read sermons in stones and running brooks," and to "see good in everything." That good man had taken his Bible with him and at that very hour was reading by the side of a gurgling brook, the commandment, "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it hofy." Find ing Mr. Buss not at home, these two railroad attorneys, evidently feeling that they had an important mission from a very important person, went across the street to the residence of State Treasurer Lacy, who informed them that Mr. Buss was in the coun try. They then tbld Mr. Lacy that they came as ambassadors extraor dinary and ministers plenipotentiary from ex-Governor Daniel L. Russell, of Wilmington, and bore on their persons a letter with a great seal ad dressed to Hon. Walter Clark. "We wish a friend of Judge Clark to go with us to present this letter," chirped the twin attorneys. ., "Well," said Mr. Lacy, "if you I are looking for a friend of Judge 1 Clark you need go no further. I am his friend and there are 5,000 more Democrats like me in Wake county." Mr. Busbee thereupon withdrew and Mr. Lacy and Capt. Day went to Judge Clark's house to deliver the important letter. Mr. Lacy, being a blue-stocking Presbyterian, demur red at first about going on Sunday. Arriving at the residence of Judge Clark, the letter was delivered and Capt. Day retired, after Judge Clark had said he would give an answer later. v . , What did Russell write to Judge Clark about? Did Fabius Busbee and Bill Day go to Wilmington and help, write the letter? Why didn't . they trust the mails? These were some of the questions asked on the streets yesterday. They could not be an swered, but last night a gentleman who keeps up with politics brought the following copy of a letter, which he said sounded very" much like what he thought the letter contained. Whether true or not, he said, he was certain that no other letter could have been . written if it dealt with facts. Here is what he handed ia: ' Hon. Walter Clark, Raleigh, N. C. Dear Sir: In 18?6 I was elected Governor, receiving the votes of 120,000 qualified negroes, 5,000 im ported negroes and 5,000 dead ne groes and 37,787 white men. When I came to Raleigh, I had not a de cent friend outside of my party, but I was given a grand reception by Southern Railway officials who ex pected to "run" me. I kicked out of their harness next day (or seemed to do so) made a rampant anti-lease speech, and began a crusade against the Southern Railway's political domtnation. I did so much against them and cussed them so vigorously that yon and a few other decent men j notes I have in my possession. They believed me to be honest. I can 1 didn't trust me, though I had prom readily. understand how-you were ised to print the letters, for they deceived. In my messages and pa pers I denounced the Southern Rail way; I railed against government by injunction; I denounced the packing of the Federal, bench with corpora tion lawyers; I swore that the Re publican party had been sold out to the Southern Railway; I assailed McKinlev and the national Repub lican party; I charged Pritchard ' with being a Southern Railway tool, I praised Bryan as the true leader of the people; I demanded lower freight and passenger rates; I fought the 99-year lease; I demanded higher valuation for taxation of railroad property in a word I declared my self itr favor of those policies for which you conspiciously stood. Do you not see how deep was the game I played? When I had fooled- you into believing I was actuated by a desire to serve the people, I request ed you to examine an order remov ing the Wilsons. You did so and wrote me several confidential notes. I have no doubt you have forgotten all about them', but I marked them Exhibit A. to G." and have pre served them against this day. There was method in my madness. Of course I know and so does every lawyer that the matters upon which you advised me did not go before you as a judge, and could never come before you, butmost peo ple cannot see the distinction, and wnen they read these letters they will say in the language - of the Southern Bail way henchmen: "Aha, I have thee. voa have been advis ing the Governor about a matter and then sitting in judgment upon it." You see we have digged a pretty deep pit fbr you, and will make the people think that you .fell into the bottom. About a year or more after my grand-stand anti-railroad play, I openly went over to the Southern Railway. No matter why. You know, others know. Whether it was a part of the game from the begin ning, or came as a result of some later manipulations, I need not state. Anyhow, I put on their collar and have ever since rendered them villein service. They wished your letters to defeat your nomination. How did they know . I had them? How did they know I had induced you to write them hy making you believe I was honestly fighting to make the roads pay tax? You may surmise, but it is not necessary that I furnish the evidence to convict myself. The railroad folks have told" me that I had a right to make public any let ters you wrote because , they related to official business. That is good for suckers and my hook is baited for "suckers." Of course I know that if they' were official, I was guilty of a wrong in taking them from the Executive Department. But I must pretend to the public that I think them official and depend upon my dear friends, Fab Busbee and "Bill Day to convince the public that I am not wholly dishonorable in turn ing them over to the Southern Rail road. ' Anyhow my hour has come. Long ago I threw off the pretense of being honest in my anti-railroad fight. NoWvI throw off all pretense to dec ency. I have decided to write the name dastard in large letters over my name, by giving the letters to the Southern Railway. I hesitate to damn myself forever, as I have done by this act, but I reflected that my record as Governor had already damned me in "the" estimation of all decent men, and that there was no" deeper hell for me. Therefore I hope to drag you down. I foresee ;that a hundred years from now the chil dren will be tbld of this act of mine along with Benedict Arnold's treach ery, bu mygood friends of the Southern Railway assure me that hey are now 'in the saddle' and will hire a man to white the h.story and expurgate this chapter in my his- tory. ; ; . ;:V.,r . I hereby state that Southern Rail way folks have photographs of the photographed them. They will be printed anyhow by Southern Rail way henchmen, but before they are printed I am anxious that you de mand that I print them and keep me in the tatters of respectability. I send yon this letter by the hands ofrny "great and good friends," those eminent railroad lawyers, Fab ius H. Busbee and William H. Day. You May recall that in 1897 and 1898 I spoke of Mr. Busbee in abus ive terms. I regret my injustice to so good a man. Since I went over bag and baggage in 1897 to the Southern Railway and became their willing vassal, I have learned to love Mr. Busbee like a brother. As for Capt. Day, my love for him is of Damon and .Pythias order. Both these gentlemen fought the" Demo cratic party in 1896 and 19Q0, when you were fighting for Bryan. We are ready now as in the last national election to do all we can to destroy Democracy. , I have timed this letter so it will be delivered vto you on the Sabbath. Having been guilty of the betrayal of your confidence - and lost the re spect of all men who hold sacred all confidential correspondence, I choose to desecrate the Sabbath day by add ing this last act in the successive steps of my conduct. Yours, &c, Dastard Hell Bustle. SENATOR MONEY Will .Delivery an Address at the Davidson College, Tuesday Morning, May 27th, at 10:30 O'clock. ; Davidson, May 3.

Sequel to Slump in the Stock Mar ket. r Arrests Will Follow. Affidavits Are Made to This Effect. New York, May 3. -The slump in the stock market affecting what is known on "the street" as the Webb Meyer stocks, was followed up late today by a story that warrants had been issued for the arrest of one or more persons in this connection. The story was that the order of arrest was issued upon an affidavit made by a Wall street operator, who claimed to be fleeced and further affidavits by members and employes of various firms, who alleged they knew the secret of the deal, i They say further that from information placed in the hands of P. M. Brown, an attorney, it was alleged that sixty banks in different parts of the country are out more than $2,000,000 by stock mani pulations, and the total loss at stake is placed at from $5,000,000 to $10, 000,000. It was asserted that Jus tice Geigerich, of the Supreme court, had issued the warrants. He could not be found to verify the statement until late to-night, when he said: "So far as I can remember, the statements which have been made are true, and the quotation of the af fidavit is correct, though it must be remembered that I have a great many papers to- deal with in the course of a day, and without having them at hand cannot be too certain as to what they contain. "I remember an order of arrest was issued in a civil action upon var ious affidavits charging false and fraudulent representations as to the value of a certain stock or stocks. It was charged in one of the allegations of the complainant, to use the langu age of the affidavit, that 'war sales' had been made which gave a ficti tious vave to the stock. The order of arrest was made onjy for one man, although I had signed four. Law yer Brown, however, only wanted one man arrested, and that wa? be cause it was feared that he would get away." . Justice Geigerich said in conclu sion, thot he was notable to positive- j ly say who the man was for whom the warrant called NONE BUT DEMOCRAT3 ON GUARD. Raleigh News and Observer. Of 1 late years there has risen among us here in North Carolina a small but noisy clan of so-called Democrats who make up in noise what they lack in numbers. They regard . themselves as privileged to advocate Republican doctrine, vote the Republican ticket in part, seek favors from Republicans on the ground that they are in sympathy with them on part of their policies, and make it a habit to denounce Democratie policies and Democratic leaders. "At the same time these men demand to dictate Democratic policies and take part in Democratic primaries and conventions, while openly proclaiming that they will not vote the Democratic ticket if this or that man is nominated. The time has come for the Demo cratic party in North Carolina to put an end to the performances of these men. If they are Republicans, let them openly join the Republican party, go' into its primaries with the negroes and revenue doodlers, and sail 'nnder their true colors. If they are Democrats, let them quit preach ing Republican 'doctrine ands stop threatening "1 to bolt the Democratic ticket unless they can dictate the platform and the nominees. This ear no man will be permit-, ted to take part in Democratic pri maries who will not promise to vote the straight Democratic .ticket from Constable to Chief Justice. No hon orable man will seek a voice in the primaries who will not abide by the convention. ATTENTION VETERANS! Wayne Counly. Notice is hereby given that a meet ing ofThos.
