The Wilson Advance. Entered in the Post Office at Wilson, N. C.. as second class mail matter. C. F. WILSON, Editor and Proprietor. "For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do." Thursday, Sept. 29th, 1892. A CALL. The members of the Democratic Executive Committee for the various townships in Wilson county are hereby notified to meet at the Dem ocratic Headquarters in Wilson on Friday, Sept. 30th, 1892, for the transaction of business of importance. It is desired that the full quota of five members from each township be present, as matters of vital interest to the party will be considered. The Chairman of each Township Com mittee is expected to notify and se cure the attendance of the other members of his Committee. This 21st day of Sept. 1892. E. Barnes, Jr., Ch'm. Wilson Co. Dem. Ex.

Thos. S. Kenan and Hon. F. A. Woodard, will address the peo ple of Wilson county at Boyette, Saturday, October 1st. Everybody invited to be present at these appointments. What is Bro." John Turn Black Hoover going to do about it ? Dr. Freeman wants to know what an honest dollar is. He ought to ask. And Dr. Freesman will at last meet Pou. We understands he says he will. He has only to name the day. A Black Crdek negro said . the other day : "I gwine to vote Class Party." . tell vo' boss, hyar I ain't for this Third Mr. Tom. Barnes thinks the com missioners 01 Wayne should go-at Dr. Exum for failing to list and pay tax on his 2500 goats. ,.T II t T " VEOge riarris seems to nave a monopoly on the "bitter -end" busi- ness. tie says u.xum will stay in until the "bitter end" and that he he will fight Furches untill the "bitter end." Dr. Hungry For-office Freeman owns a $300 chicken hatcher, we are told. That explains it all. We now Know wnere tne 1 nira rarty came from. He hatched it with his little incubator. A cousin of Dr. Heath, who lives three miles from Wilson, is now in Pulaski, Tenn., and wrote the Dr. that the charges published about Gen. Weaver's conduct during the war are all true. We do not doubt it, at all. We can understand Gen. Weav- er s soncituae ior tne t eaerai soldiers and why he wishes to pav them the difference between greenbacks and gold. He expects to get wounded in the coming elections and will then apply for a pension. W e understand that last week an emissary from Pennsylvania, a white man named Wright, was down at Elm City and spent his time organ izing negro Knight of Labor Clubs. He told every one they must vote the Weaverite ticket and they say they will do so. Wright has departed. The Wilmington Star, one of the brightest, best and most reliable of North Carolina dailies, has entered upon us 20m year, inat is a re markable age for a North Carolina daily. Mr. Bernard has our best wishes and we are glad it is still --.morning star witn Dniliant pros pects. wnai more suDiimeiy inspiring spectacle can Wilson county boast Tin , , , than Dr. Hungry For-office Free man sitting on the back door-step of his father-in-law's home gazing wist fully into the future's horizon, If ." . a - while tenaeny cnewmg the cud ot great expectations with the false teeth of hope." Those who went to Lucama last Friday enjoyed an occasion long to be remembered. Messrs. Daniels and Aycock made excellent and con vincing speeches and aroused much enthusiasm. Aycock tore the hide off Freeman, and everybody enjoyed it It was a great day for the Democ racy of Cross Roads. Dr. Freeman to the negroes : "Stand by me, boys ; I was raised up with you and am your friend !" Good God.l Has he turned black, too. Raised up with them and now beg ging lor their votes! Why didn't he tell them so two years ago ? How can any decent white man in Wilson county vote for this renegade ? It is said that "Bro," Hoover stole $175 of tbe Toisnot Odd Fellows Widows and Orpans Fond. It it is true what can honest men do bat let him alone ? Send your Guess to-day ! We want "Bfo" John Turn Black Hoover to tell us and the people of Wilson county' why he was turned out of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in Elm City. We have heard it charged that he misappro priated $175.00 of the widows and orphans fund. Is it true, and did that have anything to do with his dismissal from that order ? Will he tell us"? To our minds there is not much question about Weaver's mission to the South. It is not to speak, although that is the ostensible reason. We believe he has come down here to help the Republican party swindle us out of this election that he is down here to perfect plans to do this and that if we are not vigilant it will be done. His course will bear watching. Gen. Adlai E. Stevenson created a very fayorable impression upon the people of North Carolina. His speeches were the manly, dignified, patriotic utterances of a great, good man, and created great enthusiasm. About 100 Wilson people heard him in Rocky Mount last Thursday, and they were ail highly pleased. He was greeted here by perhaps 250 people at the depot where the train stopped and he spoke briefly for a few min utes. TAKE THE CASE, GENTLEMEN. Last week The Advance said Dr. Hunerv For-office Freeman was what Senator Vance called him un truthful. Well, he is a -great many things. If he was the honest, true, patriotic citizen he pretends to be he would not be going around Wilson county stirring up strife and by wilful misrepre sentation arraying class against class. There is nothing to commend him to the confidence of the people whose suffrages he is seeking. We do not abuse Dr. Freeman. Per- sonallv he is our friend. But be cause of what he represents, and mis represents, we have criticised his course. In dome so we have not hesitated to call him a traitor, a dem- agogue, untrutnlul, ana an omce seeker. We have proven every charge except the last two. Now, for those On August, 16th, 1892, Dr. Free man, in a letter to us, said : "1 am not an omce seeker as you allege. On the other hand, I have had one of the best positions on your side offered to me, but refused to accept, also on my sunny side of the house. I SHALL WORK AS A PRIVATE and do all I can for the cause. 1 nose are nis words and we can produce them. In Nashville Thurs day, September isth, Dr. Freeman accepted the nomination for the Sen ate from the Weaverites of the 7th District. If he was no office seeker why did he accept? Why did he have the Wilson county delegation packed lor nimsell r fie saia in August he would refuse any nomina tion and work as a private. He has acceptea a nomination ana is a can didate He is untruthful. Haven't we made out our case ? BE CONSERVATIVE. Gen. J. B. Weaver will speak in Rocky Mount to-morrow. In be halt ol the Democracy ot this section The Advance bespeaks for him respectlul hearing. He is a "stranger .within our gates." He may be guilty ol all the crimes and misde meanors of which he stands charged and of which he offers no denial, and yet we are too hospitable to mistrean him. It is a hard thing to remember all the bitter, .vindictive things this South-hater has said about our peo pie and then remain quiet and treat t . 1 ..1 mm witn respect when he comes among us. There are several reas ons why he should be treated with respect (or if not with respect, at least quiet contempt) and among them are : 1 st. He is a candidate for the high office of President. 2nd. Because he has a woman wit "m to aPPeal to the chivalry of Southrons. 3rd. This is the chief one. The Advance has it on good authority that the Third Partyites hope and pray that the Democrats will mis treat their candidate so that they make capital of it. In some cases they are secretly and in others open ly urging Democrats to an outbreak by constant nagging. General Weaver should not be molested. He amounts to nothing in the fight now on. The danger an ticipated from such a cause is past. Either Grover Cleveland or Benja min Harrison will be elected Presi dent We believe it will.be Cleve land. The South will remain solid and true to Democracy the party of honesty and good government. But what what will Southern peo ple think of a man who is afraid to come among them unless protected by a woman, and who is here to defend him from the charges made against him ? Not much good, we opine. Let Weaver alone. Let hirn come and go in peace. His passing will not even be a nine day's talk. CAN YOU STAND HIM ? Last week a prominent gentleman from Wilson county said to Dr. Freeman : "Dr., il you lived in Vance county would you vote for the negro whom the Weaverites have nominated for Register of Deeds ?" Dr. Freeman answered : "I WOULD !" A TRUE STORY. The Wilson county farmer returns at night from his toil clad in a woolen suit taxed 55 percent., stockings and undershirt taxed 75 percent., a cotton shirt taxed 44 per cent., a woolen hat taxed 75 per cent., and perchance a pair of gloves in winter taxed 40 per cent. He carries in his hand his dinner pail taxed 45 per cent., and greets his wife with a cheery smile as she looks at him through a window pane taxed 80 per cent., from which she has drawn aside the curtains taxed 40 per cent. After scraping his boots on a scraper taxed 45 per cent., he wipes them on a mat of bagging taxed 10 per cent., he lifts the door-latch taxed 43 per cent., steps in on a carpet taxed 68 per cent., and gives a kiss to his wife in a woolen dress taxed 70 per cent. She has a needle taxed 25 per cent in her hand, with which she has been mending with thread, taxed 40 per cent., an alpaca umbrella taxed 50 per cent. It is a small brick house which thev have boueht with their hard earnings of a building association. The bricks were taxed 20 per cent., the lumber taxed 16 per cent, and the paint S4 per cent. The wall paper, taxed 45 percent., makes the room brighter with its plain furniture, taxed 35 per cent. He hangs his pail on a steel pin taxed 45 per cent., and proceeds to get ready for his T -W . t ..til supper, ne tnen goes to tne iook- ing-glass, taxed 45 per cent, and fixes his hair with a brush and comb taxed 30 per cent. He is now ready for his supper which his wile has cooked on a stove taxed 4S per cent., with pots and kettles taxed 55 per cent. The table is spread with the commonest crock ery, taxed 56 per cent, and he drinks his water out of a cheap glass tumbler taxed 45 per cent. The little sugar that he puts in his tea is taxed 80 per cent., and he stirs it with a spoon taxed 15 per cent. His meal is a frugal one, because hard times have cut his wages down, and he is saving every cent to pay the next install ment due on his house. With an appetite worthy of an ampler meal he takes up his knife and fork, taxed 45 per cent, and begins to eat a piece of salt fish taxed 25 per cent. Upon his boiled pota toes, taxed 40 per cent., he sprinkles salt taxed 80 per cent, and eats a small pickle taxed 35 per cent. He ends his meal with pudding of rice taxed 112 per cent. JUDGE FURCHES. Here is How the Republican Candidate for Governor Expresses Himself. At the Republican Convention held atJStatesville last week Judge Furches was called on to make a speech and he said that inasmuch as his name was mentioned for office the Gov ernorship it was proper for him to express his views very fully. He then made a speech of which the following is an extract, as published in the Landmark : "He said he had no particular ob jection to an increase of currency but he wanted every dollar to be worth a dollar. In 1830 the per capita circu was only $7. Now it was $28. He opposed the free coinage of silver and defended the national banking sys tem. 1 here never had been, accord ing to his information, a State,bank of issue in North Carolina but what had failed, while nobody ever lost a dollar by national banks." Here we have an utterance by Judge Furches that shows how thor oughly imbued he is with ultra radi notions. He is opposed to the free coinage of silver. He favors the national banking system. He is op posed to State banks. The people of the State are called on to choose between him and Elias Carr. The one lavors the close corporation of the Republican party, the other favors giving the people a chance. We make a further quotation from the Landmark "He was in favor ol a State ticket, but he was a loyal Republican and would abide the action of the party, and no man was a good Republican who refused to do that. If the People's Party, said the Judge, get half the votes they say, the Repub licans will win. Some people claim if the Republicans nominate a State ticket the People's Party will go back to the Democratic Party. The Judge saicU he didn't know about that ; there were some Republicans in the People's Party, he hoped they would come back." That is the milk in the cocoanut The Judge favored a Republican State ticket because he thought he saw a chance for success if those of his party who had gone into the Third Party should return and sup port the ticket. He knew of the dickering between the leaders of his party and the leaders of the Third Party, yet he advocated breaking faith with Butler and Exum and having tolled them in, abandoning them and leaving them in the mud ! Can the white men ol Wilson County vote for Dr. Freeman ? OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Whitney's Argument to Tammany Mrs. J. H. Garden The City Entirely Given up to the Grand Army. (special cor. the advance.) September 27th, 1892. A short time since, there was a conference in New York city between Whitney, Croker, and Murphy. Mr. Cleveland's astute ex-Secretary said : Gentlemen if you do not give the Democratic nominees your cordial support, and we win without you, what will the world then think of your influence? If we should lose the fight, and the odium of defeat is credited to you, where will you gain ?" This reasoning made the Tammany chief and the Chairman of the New York State Democratic Committee think seriously and they at once paid a visit to Grey. Gables and came back to New York without receiving any pledge or assurance from Mr. Cleveland except that he would show equal fayor to all good Democrats. Nevertheless they went to work at once, senator rim took the stump and his strong, manly and patriotic speeches have done a great deal to unify the party in New York. Democrats are now claiming New York by a larger majority than ever and base their claims on sale figures. A Mrs. J. H. Gaiden, an appoin tee of Congressman Plummer Cheat ham, it is alleged, was dismissed from the Government printing office for tearing dowd the stars and stripes, trampling it under foot, and saying she would rather sit under the "pic ture of a 'dog or bug than the por trait of Lincoln" which hung near her desk. The flags and portrait of Mr. Lincoln were part of the decora tions used in the Government print ing office in honor of the Grand Army encampment, held here during the past week. The above tacts were drawn out in the official investigation which led to Mrs. Garden's dismissal. Mrs. Garden denies the charge, says she is not a Democrat, is the victim of a conspir acy, and that her forefathers helped to make the stars and stripes. She says she belongs to the Independent party. -Plummer Cheatham fails to represent the negroes in the Second District when he claims among his appointees any one who abuses Abra ham Lincoln, one of the greatest men America ever knew. Every thoughtful Southerner to day execrates the memory 'of .the assassin Booth, for the South had no better friend North of the Mason and Dixon line, than big-brained, warm hearted Abraham Lincoln. It is in bad taste to vilify the dead. It is worse taste as well as poor policy -to abuse the illustrious dead. As to trampling on the stars and stripes, the flag, the national emblem of this united country, can stand that better than the tram pier can. That flag which commands respect on every sea and land of the known world is the ensign which the citizens of forty four States in this Union will die de fending. The war is over. The stars and stripes belong as much to South as to the North. Washing ton, Ashe, Waddell, Buncombe, Har nett, Lillington and hosts of others helped to make that flag, and every honest Confederate who accepted the decision at Appomatox did so in good faith and renewed his alle giance to the stars and stripes with an external and unalterable fealty. I sincerely hope Mrs. Gardner can prove to the public printer that she is the victim of conspiracy and con vince him that no North Carolina woman would, at this date, treat with disrespect the nation's ensign. At least half a million strangers were entertained in this city during the past week. I never saw such a crowd on Broadway as thronged these streets every day. It was like seven successive inauguration days. Ahout twenty-five thousand people are still here, but they are leaving on every train. The parade and every feature ol the encampment was a pronounced success. Mrs. Harrison has returned to this city and is slowly improving. Mr. Elbridge Gerry Dunnell one of the most trusted members of the staff of the New York Times has been in Raleigh studying the political situation for his paper. He is a grandson of the famous Elbridge deny and is the leading representa- tive of the Times in this city Murdered Himwelf. (SPECIAL TELEGRAM THE ADVANCE.) Washington, Sept., 27, '92. Col. W. P. Canaday shot himself dead this morning. Financial and other troubles the cause. Granville. AS TO POLITICS. Everything is lovely in New York. After Senator Hill's great Brooklyn speech a certain man followed him to the lobby of his hotel and, push ing his way through the crowd, held out his hand saying, " I want to shake hands with you, Mr. Hill, for I have always been a Hill man and am one now." The great politician clasped the proffered hand, and, putting one hand on the stranger's shoulder and looking him earnestly in tho face, said: "We are all Cleveland men now." And the Reoublicans are repeating sadly "Yes, they are all Cleveland men now." Dr. Exum says: ''My figures for the three parties are these : People's 1 20,000, 90,000 of which will come from the Democrats and 30,000 from the Republicans. The voting strength ot the two old parties has been 150, 000 Democratic and 120,000 Repub lican. Agents have carried off 15. 000 Republican voters during the past tour years and 15,000 have come over to our party. I expect however, that io.ooo will s:o back to the Democrats and 5,000 to the Repub licans by election. In that event the votes would stand : People's party 105,000, Republicans 95,000, Demo crats between 70,000 and 80, 000. I believe a majority of our nominees for the Legislature and Con gress will be elected." He says further that he will carry Wayne county by 1 ,000 majority. He also says he can lift 10,000 pounds. He says he has always been a Democrat and would never vote for a Republican. WEAVER IN GEORGIA. The Falsity of His Statement Treatment Shown. as to His Gen. Weaver, accompanied by Mrs. Lease, of Kansas, were in Geor gia last week. They met with a cool reception. They were treated with great respect at every place except at Macon. A dispatch from there says the party were rotten " egged. That has been denied. Gen. Weaver refused to speak in Atianta although Governor Northen guaranteed him a respectful hearing. He and his party turned up in Raleigh Monday morn ing and they spoke in FayetteviHe Tuesday. In Raleigh they were call ed on by "Loge" Harris and "So-so" Wilson. He spoke in Greensboro yesterday, and will speak in Rocky Mount to-morrow. Hon. W. P. Atkinson, Chairman of the Democratic Executive Com mittee of Georgia, says in reply to the published address of Gen. Weav er and the various telegrams which have been sent out from Georgia by Mrs. Lease, that they do great in justice, not only to the Democrats,, but to the people of the State. He says : "According to his own admis sion, Gen. Weaver received respect ful hcariii r at Vavcrss and at Al bany Iks speech was iiaiened to by several hundred people, and no effort whatever was made to prevent him from speaking, A prominent negro of that place, at the conclusion of Weaver's speech took the stand to refute what he had said and bitterly attacked Weaver and the Third Party. Weaver was so indignant that a negro should attempt to an swer him that he immediately left the platform. The only possible founda tion "for the gready exaggerated egg story spread bioadcast by Gen. Weaver and Mrs. Lease is that a small boy in an open air audience at Macon threw the egg and he was promptly arrested and punished for it" As to Mrs. Lease the statement that the disgraceful scenes of Macon were repeated twice in the presence of the Governor of Georgia at the State capital, JAtkinson says : "Gen. Weaver or Mrs. Lease did not appear as advertised in. Atlanta. They would not go up to the Capitol, where a large crowd had assembled to hear them. Governor Northen himsell hearing that Weaver would not speak, claim ing that he would not be listened to, went to insure him a hearing and the meeting by vote guaranteed that he would be respectfully listened to. I called on the Chairman of the Ex ecutive Committee of the People's Party of the State early in the even ing to extend him this guarantee, and he told me that General Weaver had made up his mind not to speak. His claim of persecution is nothing more than an over-worked effort to pass as a martyr. His statements de liberately misrepresent the people of Georgia, and are cunningly devised for campaign purposes. He did not want to speak in Atlanta and would have had just as fair a showing as any man who has ever spoken here. He cancelled his engagements in Geor gia because he saw that he had been imposed upon by his own party managers who had led him to believe that there was a chance for the Peo ple's Party in Georgia. He found tnat sucn was not the case and was greatly disappointed by his visit here and glad to get out of the State. While here he coulq not conceal his chagrin and disappointment, engend ered by the weakness ol his party in this State. Georgia will go Demo cratic next Wednesday by from 40,. 000 to 50,000 majority." Dr. Freeman says lie would Yote for a negro. Will yon vote for such a man?

Fayetteville, Sept. 27, '92. Weaver, Mrs. Lease, and Dr. Exum spoke here to-day to a crowd of from 500 to 1,000 people, fully one-half or two-thrids of" whom were Democrats. Weaver proved himself a regular demagogue, without argu ment or reason, portraying the evils of the day and the poverty-stricken condition of the farmers, advancing j nothing whatever as a remedy. His j arraignment of the Democrats for the bad laws and hard times was as bit ter and scathing as his abuse of the i Republicans for something that the Republicans are alone responsible As a demagogue he is a pronounced ; success. Mrs. Lease followed in the same line, though her speech was more ol school-boy clap-trap declamation. Exum substantially informed the people who he was and what he wanted without touching upon the issues at all. At the close W. D. Gaster mount ed the speaker's stand and proposed ! three cheers for our next President, Grover Cleveland, when a yell went j up by the side of which he famous j "Rebel yell" would have paled into j insignificance. Hats went up in all 5 parts of the crowd, and the sponta neous response must have convined Weaver that he and his doctrine will find no f lodging-place in the hearts of our people. The crowd was or derly and no disrespect shown any one. At the conclusion of Weaver's remarks not a cheer was given, not a sound was heard. NOME LATE NEWS.

Cally Jones, a colored man on Joshua Kil'ebrews farm, had a mule whichdisplayed too great a fondness for Jones field, so he took a gun with him one day last week to scare the animal as he ran it out. As he was approaching the the mule he stubbed his toe and fell. The gun was dis charged and the mule killed. Tar boro Southerner. We are informed that one day last week Mr. Willie Edwards fell into a well 41 feet deep, at Buffalo Mills. He had found four water snakes in the well and he fell in while looking at them. He had to remain in the well until a man could go to Selma, a distance of five miles, and get a rope to draw him out with, and while in the well he killed three of snakes. Smithfield Herald. William Parker Canady, whose tragic death is told by a telegram elsewhere, was born in Carterett county 47 years ago. . He lived in Wilmington many years, and at one time was elected Mayor, serving four years. He was successively defeat ed for Congress by Col. A. M. Wad dell, Col. W. J. Green and Col. John W. Shackelford. In 1883, he was elected Sergeant-at-Arms ol the Senate and held that position 7 years. He was a Republican and made the most out of it possible. Since he lost his position he became involved financially. Exposure stared him in the face and he preferred death by his own hand.

One of the best farmers of this community is authority to the effect that the pea nut crop is very poor. The crop is not more than half, besides there are many pops on the vines. He said it is about as bad with the small peas as with the large ones. He thinks the wet weather in the spring and the dry weather during August and Sep tember the cause of the short crop.
