It doesn't like to hear about it. U. S. Senator Squire, Republican, gold standard man, has after due deliberation annotsjiced that he will support free silver and vote for Bryan and Sewall. For a man wljo weighs only 120 pounds and is running only as an extemporized attachment, it seems to us that Tom Watson is tax ing his jaws too much. - Mr. McKinley hasn't yet written his letter of acceptance.

I nmnTrvi inrnn it ttu WILMINGTON, N. C, SUNDAY, AUGUST 9, 1896. ........ i .... i : . I NORTH CAROLINA The August Begntta-Won by the Idler! An Exalting Contest Many Spaetators Canoe Race Won by Cant. O. F. SXebane Cap;, Jno.Qilei Beoood. ! The necessary requisite for a good yacht race a good wind was forth-4 coming at Ocean View yesterdav after noon and the regular regatta of the Car-; olina Yacht Club passed off very suet cessfully. j ":;::"! I The ru'es of ttte Long Island racing association governed x the race, while Messrs. W. A. Dick and A. M. Wad del I, Jr., were tbe judges and Mr. I no. K, Williams was the parser. At 4 o'clock sharp the boats lined up for the start, the following yachts being in to "do of die," viz: Idler, Dr. Robt. Strange!, Captain; Mabel, Capt.. v Ed. . Metis; Ripple, : Capt. George Cbadbourn; Francis Marion, Capt. Harriss; Sprite, Capt. H., B. Peschau; Nixie, Capt: Moore. After the starter's pistol was fired, the Mabel, at once took the lead and maintained her position, rounding the buoys the first and second times ahead, although closely pushed by the Francis-Marion, Ripple and Idler, but on the third and lasttim: around, the good old Idler crawled up and showed her heels to the rest of the fleet. The Mabel and Francis-Marion stuck closer to' her than her "paternal relations,' and it was thought by some that the Francis-Marion would hive come cut victorious except for an accident to . her throat-block. The Idler made a beaut ful finish and Dr. Strange was loudly cheered as the yacht cams down on the home stretch- The Mabel came in second, with the Ripple third. The Nixie didn't finish the .race, while the Sprite broke down and was so disabled that she was not able to make any show in the finish. --. j. The official time is as follows: Idler, 7:03-30; Mabel, 7:03 50; Ripple, 7 05. The prize won by tbe Idler was the handsome championship flag of the Carolina Yecht Club, and Dr. S. range bears bis honors with that grace so nat ural to him. CANOE RACE. The canoe race of the Carolina Canoe Club was not so successful as desired; inasmuch as all the boats, except three, met with accidents and were compelled to give up tbe fight. The Mic-Mac, Capt. C. P. Mebane, was - winner, while the Surprise, Capt. Jno. GiUs. fin ished second, and the White-Wing, Capt. Richard Bradley, third. The first prize in the canoe race was a handsome sugar-spoon. ' of which Capt. Mebane is now the proud owner, while Capt. Jno. Giles is "sporting" a gold watch-chain. Dick Bradley gets j a 'goose egg," but will do better next time. Mr. M. J. Willard gave the canoes the signal to start. Qjite a number of ladies and gentle men witnessed tne races lrom tne wharves of the Clarendon and Carolina Yacht Clubs. The next regular'regatta takes place in September. SUNDAY SERVICES. Services in St. John's Church to-day bv the rector, Rev.

Iiongitreet'a Aooouct of the Charge Of Picket, Pettlgrew and Trimble oo tne Tntrd Day o! the Battle. ' The account of the third day's battle at Gettysburg given by Gsn. Longstreet in his Memoirs is a complete refutation of the misrepresentations of certain writers and lecturers who have sought to glorify the Virginians who took part in that great battle by disparaging state ments concerning North Caroliaa sol diers. ' , - Lingstreet lays Gen. Le's plan was to assault the enemy's left centre by a co'umn to te composed of tbe three divisions cf his (Longstreet's) corps McLawe, Hood and Pickett. Longstreet thought that it would not do; that tbe divisions of-McLaws and Hood were holding a mile- along the right of the line against 20.000 men who would follow the withdrawal cf tbe two divisions strike the flmk of the assaulting column and crush ii; that 30.000 min was " ne cessary -for the work; that 5 the column, as he (L?f) proposed to or gan izs it, would have only 13000 men ; that it would have to march a mile u oder concentrating battery fire and a the mand yards under long-range mus ketry. Gen. Lee then' concluded that the - divisions of McLaws and Hood could remain in the defensive Hoe, and tbe assault shcu'd be made by Pickett's division of Longstreet's corps, Heth's division, and Lane's and Cile brigades of A: P. Hill's corps. Pickett had three Virginia brigades Kemper's, Garnett's, and Atmisteao's. They were Iresh troops, had not been "in action. Heth s division, commanded by Briga dier General Pettigrew. cons sted ol four brigades, Pejtigrew'a (North Caro- Una); Brockenborougb's (Virginia); Ar cher's (Alabama and Tennessee); Davis' (Mississippi). With these troops were Scales' and Lane's North Carolina brig- ades, -under command of Mai. Gen, Trimble. These troops had been in the battle the first and second days, and had sustained severe loss. As the commands repotted for the f 9- sault, P.ckett was assigned on the rig tic, K-mper s and Garnett s brigades to be supported oy Armistead's; Pettigrew's division on Pickett s left supported by the brigades of Scales and Lane under com mind of Gen. Trimble. Gen. Scales oeinjj wounded on the first day, his brig ade was commanded by Col. Lawrence of iha f4.h N. C. regiment. Gen. P.c- keti's was the division of direction. Tbe assaulting column numbered about 17,- 000 men. of which Ptckett . had about one third. Pickett said. General, shall I ad vance? "The effort to spak the order failed. and 1 could on.y indicate it bv an affirm ative bow. He accepted the duty, with sseming confidence cf success, leaped on his horse, and rode gayly to his com mand. I mounted and spurred for Alexander's post. He reported that the batteries be bad reserved for the charge with the infantry had been spirited away by Gen. Lee s chief of artillery; that tbe ammunition of the batteries of position was so reduced that he could not use them in proper support of the infantry, He was ordered to stop the march at once and fill up his ammunition chests. Bat, alas ! there was no more 'ammuni tion to be bad. The order was imperative. The Con federate commander bad fixed his heart upon the work. Just then a number of the enemy s batteries hitched up and hauled off, which gave a glimpse of un expected hope. Encouraging messages were sent to the column to hurry on and they were then on elastic, springy step. Gen. Pickett, a graceful horse man, sat lightly in tbe saddle, his brown locks flowing quite over his shoulders, Pettigrew's division spread their steps and quickly rectified the alignment, and the grand march moved bravely on Gen. Trimble mounted, adjus'.ing his seat and reins as if setting out on a p'eas ant afternoon ride. When aligned to their places, solid march was made down the slope and past our batteries ef position Confederate batteries put their hre over tne beads oi tne men as tney moved down the slope and continued to draw the fire of the enemy until the smoke lifted and drifted to the rear, when every gun was turned upon the infantry columns. The batteries that had been drawn off were replaced by others that were fresh. Soldieis and officers began to fall; some to rise no more, others to make their way to tbe hcso.tal tents. Single files were cut here and there; then the gaps increased and an cccasional shot tore wider open ings; but, closing the gaps as quickly as made, the march moved on. The ene my's right overreached my left and gave serious trouble. crocKenorougn s bri gade went down and Davis in impetu ous charge. Tbe general order required further assistance from the third corps if needed. but no support appeared Gen. Lee and the corps commander were there, but failed to order help. Col. Latrobe a stag c nicer was sent to Gen. Trimble ;to have his men fill the line of the broken brigades, and bravely they repaired the damage. . The enemy moved out against tbe supporting brigade in fickett s rear. Col. borrei, anotner stan omcer, was sent to have that 'move guarded, and Pickett was drawn back to. that conten tion. Col. f remantle ran up to oner congratulations on the apparent success, but tbe big gap in tbe ranks grew until the lines were reduced to half their length. I called his attention to the broken, struggling ranks., Trimble mended the battle of the left in handsome style, but-on the ngnt tbe mass ing of tbe enemy grew stronger and stronger. Brigadier Garnett was killed. Kemper and Trimble were desperately wounded. Gen. JLane succeeded Inmble, and with Pettigrew held the battle on the left in steady ranks. Pickett s lines be ing nearer, the impact was heaviest upon them. Most of the field officers were killed or wounded. "Gen. Armistead, of the second line spread his steps to supply the places of fallen comrades. His colors cut down, with a volley against thcbristling line of bavoneu, be put bis cap on bis sword to guide the storm. The enemy'sjnass- ing, enveloping numbers held the strug gle until the noble Armistead fell beside the wheels of the , enemy's battery. Pettigrew was wounded, but held the command ; ' "Gen. Pickett, finding the battle broken, while the enemy was still reinforcing, called the troops off. There was no Indi cation of a panic. The broken files marched back in steady step. The effort was nobly made and failed from blows that could not be fended. Some of tbe files were cut off from retreat by fire that swept the field in their rear. Our men passed tbe batteries in a quiet walk, and would rally, I knew, when they reached the ridge from which they started." New N. C. Cotton. . Mr. E.

Special Star Telegram. Goldsboro, N..C. August 8 Hon. Cyrus B. Watsjn, Democratic candidate for Governor, addressed the people of this city and section in the Opera House on the political situation. His first sub- jict for discussion, i and one around which his remarks were centered, was the fiiancial question. He enumerated the national conventions that had been held, and mentioned the fact that this question had invaded for the first, time the ranks of tbe Prohibition party and split that party in-two. The Republican convention had met, he said, anl nomi nated men and set up a p'atform not suited to the masses of the American people, tut to tbe liking of the few who bad put them -up. He said he was present at the Democratic Convention at Chicago,, and saw Democrats resist the decree of the people and sitdumb in their seats. Tbe same men, he said, are now, trying to organize a "sound mooey" pirty. Tbe action of the Democratic convention, he said, was so much in c;o d with the wishes of a msjirity of the American people, that the People's party and the Silver party adopted the essentials of. the platform, and named Bryan to lead the people out of the wilderness. He spoke of tbe Vice Presidency entangle ment and said it would be adj'js ei at the proper time by tbe Democrat c and Populist committees. He said that when a Democrat was found who was not wil ling to work with the Populists, or a Populist was found who was not willing to wjik with the Democrats for the re lief for which tbe American people were clamoring, he was either a McKinley man or was carrying Republican money in his pecket. He spoke at length of the great influence of the money power, and said he was not afraid of its buying the free men ot North Carolina, neither white or colored; but it was the unem ployed in the big cities cf the North, whom starvation was staring in the face, and for'whom the chilling winds of Winter were horrors from which they saw no relief, that he entertained uneasi ness. After Mr. Watson's speech, Hon. C. B. Ayccck introduced ex Governor Jams, wno enteitained the audience for a shoit while with able remarks on the financial question. RALEIGH NEWS ITEMS.

It is stated by a gentleman who is weli informed that the postponement of tbe time of meeting of the Republican State Executive Committee from the 11th to tbe 15th was done at tbe instance of those Republicans opposed to fusion. The Populist State Convention, which meets of the 13;h, will have done its work when the Republican Executive Committee meets. It is sail that an effort is now being .made to have the committee meet here on the 11th at the time previously set. so that there can be a conference with the Populists. The City Aldermen took steps last evening looking to the purchase of tbe water works system. Tbe water works company was permitted to establish a plant here on tbe condition that the city have the privilege of purchasing it ten years after its establishment. The ten years expire in December. The Kaleigb police ran upon four ne groes early this morning, who were car rying a heavy chicken coop through one ot tbe suburban streets. There were twenty-five chickens in tbe coop. Two of the darkies were nabbed. It is not likely that the Republicans will make their headquarters in Raleigh. A well-known Republican savs they will be located at Gteensboro. He said that it bad been decided by the leaders not to have tbe headquarters here, because the Raleigh newspaper men told every thing that happened.

Cook" spoke Miss Ida Schleglewich, of Hardeeyilley yesterday, as she stood on the bow of Capt. W. T. Gibson's new Savannah river steamer and broke a bottle of Mamm'i extra dry, while the boit slid- gracefully into the ri?er. The launching took p'ace at Purys- burc. at 2 o'clock. A large party of ladies and gentlemen from Hatdeeville were prtsint and Capt. Gibson did tbe entertaining on tne occasion. All sons of nice things to eat and drink were spread before the guests, and Purysburg has seldom had sach a gala day. The boat is named after Mai. W. S. Cook, one ot the most enterprising river steamboat men in the South, He resides at Fayetteville, N. C, and is financially interested in tbe boats on the Cape Fear and Savannah as well as other rivers in the South. CaDt. Gibson was accompanied by, Mr. W. B. Farr, of this city, wbo was on board at the launching of the steamers Ethel and Maggie 2fe several years ago The new boat drew 11 inches when floated in the river. Tbe shaft, boilers, some additional machinery and the cabin are yet to be added, after which, Capt. Gibson calculates, that tbe draft will be 14 to 15 inches. Tbe Cook is 165 feet in length ever all, and thirty feet beam, having a capacity of 400 tons. It is estimated that with 200 tons of freight the draft will be only thirty inches. Other boats on tbe river, which are plying between Savannah and Augusta, draw thirty inches when light. - The Cook sits beautifully upon the water, and Is satisfactory to her owner in every detail. It is expected to bring her to SeVinnab in about ten days, when the boilers will be. put in, and every ariaogement made to begin run ning b Sept. 1. Mr. Hugh o.
