STAT! li EALEIGH, N. C., SEPT. 5 Ealeigh, N. C.; August 29.-iThe absorbing topic to-day is ; the ac tion of the Kepublican, Conyention in cutting loose .from the ; negro. The negroes are ; now minus any party in this State, and the leaders declare that they ivilr immediately organise au. independent organi zation. If this is done they ; may te in a position to die tate to the Bepublicans or Democrats two years hence, if the white people divide at all evenly The action Tof the Republican ' Convention is con sidered the smartest political move of the year. Senator :Pritchard de clared this .morning that he was delighted with the outcome of the convention. He thinks that a Leg islature can be elected which will return him to the Senat but in this even many Republicans differ from him. The Republicans were greatly disgruntled over . not nominating candidates for Associate' Justices of Supreme 4 Courts and many openly declare that they will not support Connor, and "Walker. Co vernor Crane, of Massachu setts, has at last come to his senses and will honor the requisition of Governor Ay cock for the return of Monroe Rogers; the negro who fled the State from Durham. A message was received bjr Private Secretary Pearsall from, Governor Crane that the requisition : would - bo honored. . ; ; ' - ; Rogers, it will be - remembered, is wanted at Durham' on 'a charge of house burning. He has . been in custody at Brockton, .Mass., for the jpast several :weeksf and twice officers have been after; him and twice were refused. The rst time some slight erregularity was claim ed in requisition papers; in the second instance it was given as a reason for refusal of requisition that it was feared that the negro would be lynched if sent bade to this State. "There lis no , danger whatever that Rogers will be lynched. He will be given a 'fair triaL n ' ' . - - A few years since banker ponies were brought here and to. other places in the , State and sold at auetion. These little animals are bred in droves on the sand banks in the east and are hardy. , They are much scarcer now - than form erly. A. car load was r. received here by Mr. Jj. O- Woodall ' at his stables . and they are the first brought here in a year or more. There will be noXabor Day.cele bration in Raleigh on September 1st. The unions here are now very much interested in -building their proposed Labor Temple and . have decided not to incur any t expense for a celebration but 'to devote the money thatVould be thus expend ed to the temple fund. . ,u The Mount Airy Military , (Com pany was ordered disbanded on the recommendation of tthe In epector-UeneraJr tnis company having failed to make good in their recent inspection. ' - : ' The following interesting facts regarding' the progress oi .Good Roads in Porto Rico will appeal, to the sound judgment of tie citizens, of North Carolina: ' " By the , end of this year , the Americans will have built as many miles of good roads in Porto Rico as the Soaniards constructed , dur iug the four centuries of; tneir oc cupancy. This statement is made by "William ,E Elliott, -Commiss ioner of the interior in Porto Rico, who is now in this country, and it shows what ; American rule has done for that island, to promote its interests; and add to its prosperity. AVLcn the " Americans ; gained poesession of Porto Rico . there was almost no good 1: means of trans portation with the exceptiort'ofsthe military, road from San Juan across to Ponce, callftd the "central road, and a few stretches of fgood road running out from some of the towns. The total length of "the good road was not much in excess of 100 miles; and the only means of interior transportation waa'rby uorseDacK ana pack animals; - . .7:.

Some of the . democrats ! express their fear of the independent mo ve- ment; not so much for what it will amount to this, year, -which is apt to be very little,', but' for' what it may. become two; years hence. Others say, they y think "the " move ment will be so crushed this 'year that it will cut no figure in 1904. More reports of damage by lice to the cotton f crop - come in here.

And Then Went inlail To Await Court as a Witness. When James Gold, of ebon hue, staggered, into; Mayor. "Wilson's tribunal Friday afternoon he pre sented the appearance of a rough house survivor and such he was. According to his story he had gone over to Ike Turner's kitchen to ro- turn borrowed property. . That Ike mistook him for an encyclopedia and plied him with questions which heVwas incompetent to answer and that upon his refusal to satisfact orily answer those questions Tur- ner Decame uvia witn rage ana pasted his cranium with an "axe. He pulled a bandage from around his head and showed. His Honor the bump inflicted with the axe. It looked as if an Irish potato, had reached ' maturity 'neath the cuticle of his pate. . , . r -Ike took the stand and proved to Tully's satisfaction that he (Ike) was the only Annanias in existence. Ike, though sober f and in his full senses, couldn't remember t what he hit Gold with.- He said it v might have been a little piece of dirt but he thougt it was a griddle cake. :' His Honor, tiring of the Anna nias act, : placed :. Turner .under $100.00 bond to appear at court. Gold was placed under $25.00 bond to appear as a witness. - Be ing unable to furnish a bondman he was placed in jail where he will quietly await the arrival of court. ' Exchange of Stores. ,When E.
