Twelve Hundred People at the Democratic Meeting in White r, Lvflle, Columbus County. MANY POPULISTS PRESENT. 1.'! Reaewe4 " Alleriance to ; Democracy and ! White-Supremacy The : Speakers. Benamy Greeted with Enthusi- r - asm Color Line Drawn. 7 i Special Star TetegramtU ' Whiteville:, I N. C., Aug. ,3. It takes fiur .-figures to designate - the number at the grand white men's rally in this fine old town to-day. A con-' jseryative estimate M that the crowd numbered 1,200, including "over 200 ladies. There was a good representa-. tion of .Populists, too, and-many of them , were outspoken Tin renewing their allegiance to Democracy and White Supremacy. ' The speakers, m the! order named, were C. M. McLean, John D. : Bellamy, R...W. Pou and B. Fv Aycock. ' This is a strong quar tette, and they infused new life into the Democracy of Columbus. McLean spoke briefly, but with good effect Bellamy was in fine form and made most forcible argument in a speech, of an hour and a half. . Pou is one of the most promising young campaigners in the State and made a fine, impres sion. . .TranJe AycocK is run pi practi cal ideas and is Specially strong with the farmers. His effort' was most favorably received. , Bellamy's strong hold on the people of Columbus was made manifest; to days both in his social intercourse with them before the speaking began and in the enthusiasm which greeted him when he rose to address thel im mense assemblage. Columbus county will go Demo cratic in November.; Two years ago Parson Populist Martin, fusion can didate for Congress, carried the coun ty by 33? majority. This will not only be wiped out, but as it appears to me now, this majority will oe trans ferred to the Democratic column. making a clear gain of 670- votes. I was present to-day at a meeting of twenty leading Democrats, represent ing : every townsmp in tne county. The; question . of Democratic gains from Populists in each township was carefully considered, and all esti mates accepted "were of the most con servative character; ma-v estimates, claimed to be reasonable, were re duced one-half, yet the net result showed a safe Democratic majority in the county. The color line is sharply deawn and is the leading feature of the campaign. The drift is all in the direction of a victory for good govern-, ment over negro fusion, and the man arhai bets on a Democratic victory in Columbus will "wear diamonds. " fThe Wilmington Second Regiment band, eighteen strong, proved a great attraction and added immensely to the enjoyment of the occasion.. Their fine music evoked generous applause and the ladies said the boys were "just too sweet to live." . j County Chairman J. A. Brown in troduced the. speakers, with; the ex ception of Mr. Bellamy," who was presented by Mr. D. S. Cowan. Mr. Brown is very active,' and is doing some of his finest campaign work. 1 The third of August, 1898, will long be remembered as a red-letter day in. the political history of - Columbus county. ' W.

Creloceoas Specimens. , Z - Reference was made in the Stab a few weeks ago to a party of students from Cornell University, who are in this section gathering specimens for the University. A Stab representa tive had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Ci A. Tracy, of the party, and spend ing some time in a very pleasant con versation. Mr. Tracy says that his party of five students left the Uni versity June 8th and eame - direct to Newbern, where they separated to seek! specimens in different sections. Messrs. T. A. Caine and Ai, E. Veateh are now; in Alabama; Messrs. G. jC. Martin and E. A. Buck are, in the vicinity of Florence, .8.

He -says 'that vicinity is the richest in the South for niocene formation.

The case came up before R. H. Bunting, as United States Commissioner, yesterday, and was dis missed. It will be remembered that Alfred Pihl, another sailor on J the Jessie Murdoch, was " recently boupd over to court and committed to jail in default of a $50 bond for- his appearance, charged with an assault with a deadly weapon upon! Pina Nini. The latter and Joe Gomes' were also held as witnesses and jailed in default of $25 bonds. . On the same; day Capt Wheatley, of the Jessie M urdock, paid Pina Nina off in full."' i - vz --j! " ' Later after the three men had been committed to jail, Pena Nini deposited $25 with Herbert McClammy, Esq., as security for the liberation of his fel low witness and sailor.Joe Gomez and then yesterday he thought that he was providing for bis own j bond send cpargedlchat he had been hood- winked into depositing for" Gomez's bond. It - was for; this reascn that he brought suit against the boat and her owners for the $25, charging that the captain was responsible for his action in paying money Qn Gomez's bond. The matter has since been smoothed over, and all the parties are out of jail and will probably sail On the boat when she clears this port, j ; L. A. W. Cycle Club. j A meeting of the L. A. W.
